Strana 299 - AVOID FALSEHOOD. — There can be found no higher virtue than the love of truth. The man who deceives others must himself become the victim of morbid distrust. Knowing the deceit of his own heart, and the falsehood of his own tongue, his eyes must be always tilled with suspicion, and ho must lose the greatest of all happiness — confidence in those who surround him. THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS of manly character are worthy of frequent meditation : To be wise in his disputes.
Strana 269 - To save your linen and your labour, pour on half a pound of soda two quarts of boiling water, in an earthenware pan ; take half a pound of soap, shred fine ; put it into a saucepan with two quarts of cold water ; stand it on a fire till it boils ; and when perfectly dissolved and boiling, add it to the former. Mix it well, and let it stand till cold, when it has the appearance of a strong jelly.
Strana 275 - HEAVENLY BODIES. — A haziness in the air, which fades the sun's light, and makes the orb appear whitish, or ill-defined — or at night, if the moon and stars grow dim, and a ring encircles the former, rain will follow. If the sun's rays appear like Moses...
