And making all the world reflect
On what it hates to recollect.

You talk to misers of their heir,
To women of the times that were,

To poets of the wrong review,

And to the French of Waterloo.

L.-Don't make yourself a mere milliner's dupe;

Praed.

A bow on your breast will bring none to your side; A heart that's worth having isn't caught in a loop, Silliness, dear, is the sister of Pride;

Beauty is simple, and Fashion is blind.

Or she would take out the tucks of her mind.

McDonald Clarke.

You will be matched with one

If not in genius, yet in sympathy;

Each reverencing what the other reverences,
Each still loving what the other loves;
Your hopes, your aspirations, your desires,
Your plans and projects for the year to come,
Akin, if not identical.

John Home.

G.--You'll use up life in anxious cares,
To lay up hoards for future years.

Gay.

L.

Gladly reconciled

To numerous self-denials, you will live,

Still struggling on through life's calamities,
With cheerful hope.

All is action, all is motion

In this mighty world of ours; Like the currents of the ocean,

Wordsworth

You'll be urged by unseen powers.

Duty points with outstretched fingers
Every soul to actions high,
Woe betide the soul that lingers,
Onward! onward is the cry.

Though your foes may seem victorious,
And your fairest prospects blight,
Onward! from the conflict glorious,
Mind comes forth with added light.

O'er the darkest night of sorrow,
From the deadliest field of strife
Dawns a clearer, brighter morrow,
Springs a truer, nobler life.

Then from duty never falter,

Be the issue what it may,
Let no hopes your conduct alter,
Let no fears vour efforts stav

L.

There is probation to decree,

Many and long must the trials be,
Thou shalt victorious endure,

If thy heart be true, and thy motives pure.

23.

In hope a king doth go to war,
In hope a lover lives full long,
In hope a merchant sails full far,

Browning.

In hope just men do suffer wrong;
In hope the ploughman sows his seed;
Thus hope helps thousands at their need;
Then faint not, heart, among the rest,
Whatever chance, hope thou the best.

Perhaps you'll feel inclined to laugh,
But of this you may be sure,

You will meet your better half
At some famous water cure.

25.

Oh shun, my friend, avoid that dangerous coast,
Where peace expires, and fair affection's lost.
By wit, by grief, by anger urged, forbear
The speech contemptuous, and the scornful air.

Langhorne.

She with quiet air

Of mild indifference, and with truthful words,
Kind, yet determined, still withdraws herself
To chosen solitude, intent to keep

A maiden's freedom.

Mrs. Sigourney.

L.-You are pretty, he'll agree,
But you love to dance, you see;
And he wouldn't give a fig,
For a dancing whirligig!

G.-They say that in her breast

Another reigns supreme,

All love for you suppressed,

Or thought of as a dream;
Then let her go, you'd scorn to own
A heart where you dwelt not alone.

L. He is not cold, but he dares not tell
The hopes which you have read so well,
Before distrust crept o'er his heart
That in your thoughts he had no part.

G. Of her moralizing knitting-work,
Whose threads most aptly show
How evenly around life's span
Our busy threads should go;
And if a stitch perchance should drop,
As life's frail stitches will,

How if we patient take it up,

The work will prosper still.

Mrs. C. Gilman.

L.-He snuffs far off the anticipated joy,

Turtle and venison all his thoughts employ.

G. She has trained her spirit to forgive

As she hopes to be forgiven;

Cowper,
