Сторінка 379 - Oh no, live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storm of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy, on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten.

Сторінка 47 - The wind rose high — but with it rose Her voice, that he might hear ; Perchance that dark hour brought repose To happy bosoms near ; While she sat striving with despair Beside his tortured form, And pouring her deep soul in prayer Forth on the rushing storm. She wiped the death-damps from his brow, With her pale hands and soft, Whose touch upon the lute-chords low, Had still'd his heart so oft.

Many a diverting story she has told about this and other things of the like nature.
Сторінка 354 - In the full occupation of dress-making, I had care with it, and anxiety for the future ; but as that disappeared, care fled also. God, who had called me into the vineyard, had said, " Whatsoever is right I will give you."
