Сторінка 227 - God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy Name thou wilt grant their requests; Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Сторінка 299 - Considering what the men of labour have done for themselves and what has been won for them by their advocates, and conceded to them from time to time by others, despair and the counsels of outrage which spring from it, are unseemly, unnecessary, and ungrateful. This is the moral of this story. A doleful publicist should be superannuated. He is already obsolete. Whoever despairs of a cause in whose success he once exulted, should fall out of the ranks, where some ambulance waits to carry away the...
Сторінка 35 - MY mind to me a kingdom is ; Such perfect joy therein I find As far exceeds all earthly bliss That God or nature hath assigned ; Though much I want that most would have, Yet still my mind forbids to crave.
Сторінка 294 - Another change is that the pride in ignorance, which makes for impotence, is decreasing, is no longer much thought of among those whose ignorance was their only attainment. Not less have the material conditions of life improved. Food is purer — health is surer — life itself is safer and lasts longer. Comfort has crept into a million houses where it never found its way before.

The emigrant terror has gone. Instead of sailing out on hearsay to an unknown land and finding himself in the wrong one, or in the, wrong part of the right country, as has happened to thousands, the emigrant can now obtain official information, which may guide him rightly. Towns are brighter, there are more public...
Сторінка 275 - Go then, and if you can, admire the state Of beaming diamonds, and reflected plate ; Procure a TASTE to double the surprise, And gaze on Parian charms with learned eyes: Be struck with bright brocade, or Tyrian dye, Our birth-day nobles
Сторінка 244 - What an enigma, then, is man ! What a strange. chaotic, and contradictory being! Judge of all things — feeble earthworm ! depository of the truth — mass of uncertainty ! glory and butt of the universe ! If he boasts himself, I abase him ; if he humbles himself, I glory in him ; and I always contradict him, till he comprehends that he is an incomprehensible monster.
Сторінка 24 - The old three hundred sixty-five Dull days to every year alive ; Old stingy measure, weight and rule, No margin left to play the fool ; The same old way of getting born Into it naked and forlorn, The same old way of creeping out Through death's...
Сторінка 278 - When this question is put to me I answer "No." Things did not go better before my time— nor that of the working class who were contemporaries of my earlier years. My answer is given from the working class point of view, founded on a personal experience extending as far back as 1826, when I first became familiar with workshops.
Сторінка 248 - Desmond, directed against the fair sex. The ruthless and vindictive spirit which at this time prevailed in Scotland may be gathered from the following verses of a battle-incitement on the eve of the invasion of the English, which ended on the fatal field of Flodden : — Burn their women, lean and ugly ! Burn their children, great and small ! In the hut and in the palace, Prince and peasant, burn them all ! Plunge them in the swelling rivers, With their gear, and with their goods ; Spare, while breath...
