TEST EXERCISES.

1. There is no fireside howsoe'er defended,

But has one vacant chair.

2. 'Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.

3. Death rides on every passing breeze,
He lurks in every flower.

4. The drying up a single tear has more
Of honest fame than shedding seas of gore.

5. There are gains for all our losses,

There are balms for all our pains.

6. Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
7. Slave to no sect, who takes no private road,
But looks thro' nature up to nature's God.

8. But you with pleasure own your errors past,
And make each day a critique on the last.

9. What is beauty?

'Tis the stainless soul within,

That outshines the fairest skin.

10. Our lives are rivers, gliding free To that unfathomed, boundless sea,

The silent grave.

11. Our lives are albums written through

With good or ill, with false or true;

And as the blessed angels turn

The pages of our years,

God grant they read the good with smiles,
And blot the ill with tears.

12. Oh! Ever thus from childhood's hour,
I've seen my fondest hopes decay;
I never loved a tree or flower,
But 'twas the first to fade away.
13. Yet nightly pitch my moving tent,
A day's march nearer home.

14. Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.

15. I love it-I love it, and who shall dare

To chide me for loving that old arm chair!

16. Words are like leaves, and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

17. Desire not to live long, but to live well;

How long we live, not years, but actions tell.

18. To thine own self be true;

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man.

19. I dare do all that may become a man:

Who dares do more, is none.

20. Every one is as God has made him, and oftentimes a great deal worse. 21. Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,

And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

22. Be to her virtues very kind;

Be to her faults a little blind.

23. Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,

And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike,
Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike.

24. 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.

25. The golden opportunity

26.

Is never offered twice; seize then the hour
When fortune smiles and duty points the way.

But man, proud man,

Dressed in a little brief authority, like an angry ape

Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven
As make the angels weep.

27. Let those love now who never loved before,
Let those who always loved, now love the more.

28. Love is blind, and lovers cannot see

The pretty follies that themselves commit.

29. Know then thyself, presume not God to scan, The proper study of mankind is man.

30. As unto the bow the cord is,

So unto the man is woman:

Though she bends him, she obeys him;
Though she draws him, yet she follows;
Useless each without the other!

31. Tho' lost to sight, to mem'ry dear
Thou ever wilt remain.

32. Oft in the stilly night,

Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light,

Of other days around me.

33. Who will not mercy unto others show,

How can he mercy ever hope to have?

34. There is a limit to enjoyment, though the sources of wealth be bound.

less,

And the choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.
