Page 237 - Celestial Happiness, whene'er she stoops To visit earth, one shrine the goddess finds, And one alone, to make her sweet amends For absent heaven the bosom of a friend ; Where heart meets heart, reciprocally soft, Each other's pillow to repose divine.
Page 224 - Thou art the source and centre of all minds, Their only point of rest, eternal Word ! From thee departing they are lost, and rove At random without honour, hope, or peace. From thee is all that soothes the life of man, His high endeavour, and his glad success, His strength to suffer, and his will to serve.
Page 223 - Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
Page 33 - Good friends, let me beg of you, don't run in debt: If the chairs and the sofas are old, They will fit your back better than any new set, Unless they are paid for — with gold ; If the house is too small, draw the closer together, Keep it warm with a hearty good-will ; A big one unpaid for, in all kinds of weather, Will send to your warm heart a chill.

Them may no poison'd tongue, no evil eye Curse for the virtues that refuse to die ; The generous heart, the independent mind, Till truth, like falsehood, leaves a sting behind ! May temperance crown their...
Page 112 - WALK with the Beautiful and with the Grand, Let nothing on the earth thy feet deter; Sorrow may lead thee weeping by the hand, But give not all thy bosom thoughts to her; Walk with the Beautiful. I hear thee say, "The Beautiful! what is it?
Page 137 - There's work enough to do." The cowslip and the spreading vine, The daisy in the grass, The snow-drop and the eglantine, Preach sermons as we pass. The ant, within its cavern deep, Would bid us labour, too, And writes upon its tiny heap —
Page 189 - ... Idler, why lie down to die * Better rub than rust. Hark ! the lark sings in the sky — ' Die when die thou must ! Day is waking, leaves are shaking, Better rub than rust.' In the grave there's sleep enough — ' Better rub than rust : Death perhaps is hunger-proof, Die when die thou must ; Men are mowing, breezes blowing, Better rub than rust.
Page 217 - I never was happy," said a certain king, " till I began to take pleasure in the welfare of my people ; but ever since then, in the darkest day, I have had sunshine in my heart."" My second rule is — "Be content with little." There are many good reasons for this rule. We deserve but little, we require but little, and " better is little with the fear of God, than great treasures and trouble therewith.'' Two men were determined to be rich, but they set about it in different ways ; for the...
