Strana 16 - There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.
Strana 61 - And seldom was a snood amid Such wild luxuriant ringlets hid, Whose glossy black to shame might bring The plumage of the raven's wing; And seldom o'er a breast so fair Mantled a plaid with modest care; And never brooch the folds combined Above a heart more good and kind.
Strana 61 - Whose glossy black to shame might bring The plumage of the raven's wing ; And seldom o'er a breast so fair, Mantled a plaid with modest care, And never brooch the folds combined Above a heart more good and kind. Her kindness and her worth to spy, You need but gaze on Ellen's eye ; ' Not Katrine, in her mirror blue, Gives back the shaggy banks more true...

The reason is plain ; their brains are injured by premature toil, and their general health impaired. From an unwise attempt...
Strana 114 - What lias thus suddenly improved its condition ? An increased current of blood into it, produced by the excitement of its own increased action. That the blood does, on such occasions, flow more copiously into the brain, no one can doubt who is at all acquainted...
Strana 62 - The guileless movements of her breast : Whether joy danced in her dark eye, Or woe or pity...
Strana 45 - Parents are often too anxious that their children should have a knowledge of the alphabet, of spelling, reading, geography, and other branches of school learning, at a very early age. This is worse than tempting them to walk too early, because the organ likely to be injured by it is much more important than the muscles and bones of the lower extremities. It may do irremediable mischief to the brain. That viscus is yet too immature and feeble...
Strana 38 - It should neither chill with cold, nor flush with heat. To the tenderness and susceptibility of infancy, all extremes are hurtful. Means to prevent the apartment from being traversed by currents of cold or damp air should be provided, and nothing neglected, that may tend to secure an equable temperature. The respiration of infants is immensely important, and cannot be too vigilantly attended to.
Strana 47 - School' that deserves to be encouraged ; nor will any other sort receive encouragement, when the business of education shall be thoroughly understood.
