The wish to get more than you have means to pay for is a wish to injure your neighbor,-to obtain his possessions without a just compensation, and although a thing may occasionally come into our hands which we never could have had had it not been cheap, yet the uniform desire to depress another's property for the sake of making it our own is dishonesty in disposition, whether custom sanctions it or not. Henry Ward Beecher. On Bargain Day. See the woman as she scrambles, Around the corner, through the door, Selected. ---...--.............. Men that hazard all Do it in hope of fair advantages. Shakespeare. Wall Street thinks it easy for a millionaire to be a man of his word, a man of honor, but that in failing circumstances no man can be relied on to keep his integrity.

It is not too much to say of the women of a nation that they are the moulds in which the souls of its men are set. Emily Pfeiffer. Let the Old World boast its crowned kings, its mailed knights, its ladies of the court and castle-but we of the New World, we of the powerful West, let us brim our cups with the wine of undying devotion and drink to the memory of the Women of the Revolution.

They animated the courage and confirmed the self-devotion of those who ventured all in the common cause. They frowned upon instances of coldness or backwardness, and in the period of deepest gloom, cheered and urged onward the desponding. They willingly shared inevitable dangers and privations, relinquished without regret prospects of advantage to themselves, and parted with those they loved better than life, not knowing when they were to meet again. Elizabeth F. Ellet. They never fail Who die in a great cause. Lord Byron. Man, through all ages of revolving time, Unchanging man, in every varying clime, Deems his own land of every land the pride, Beloved by Heaven o'er all the world beside; His home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. James Montgomery. All countries are a wise man's home. Samuel Butler. He who fights and runs away Oliver Goldsmith.

But I tell thee, that those women who carry Christ in their hearts will not break faith with their husbands, just as Christian husbands will keep faith with their wives. H. Sienkiewicz. Sir, a woman preaching is like a dog walking on his hind legs. It is not done well, but you are surprised to find it done at all. Dr. Johnson. Attend your church, the parson cries; The old go there to close their eyes, Selected. Not she with trait'rous kiss her Saviour stung, Eaton S. Barrett. |
