He is the richest man who is happy with the fewest things. SOCRATES.

The glance of your eye will give gladness, and ¦ your every sentence have a force of beauty. SIR WALTER Raleigh.

Substantial life, to have thee by my side,
Henceforth an individual solace dear;
Part of my soul I seek thee, and thee claim
My other half.

Pray the time may not be long
Till thou shalt from the dust arise
To meet thy Saviour in the skies,
And to each other we restored,
Shall be for ever with the Lord.

The lowly duties of the day,

And all which makes and keeps us low,
Which teaches us ourselves to know.

And all thy virtue dictates, dare to do.

I should esteem the world a desert, were it not for the fair sex; they are the guardians of our infancy and youth, the companions of our riper years, and the cherishers of our old age.

Some dear ones, God hath lent,

Have passed to Him across the sea,
Their shining footsteps as they went
Have opened doors in heaven for me.

Wisely you maintain

Your high profession's dignity, and look
With simple eye intent, on the great work
Thrice holy, of your calling happiest work
Of mortals here, salvation of men's souls.

To the arms of the loved and lost.

Which on earth we valued most.

To guide me to our home,

Where Christ our Lord shall gather

All His redeemed again,

His kingdom to inherit.

A drop of water for love's sake,

In heaven be sure is stored.
