183. oldal - Through the dear might of him that walked the waves. Where other groves and other streams along, With nectar pure his oozy locks he laves, And hears the unexpressive nuptial song, In the blest kingdoms meek of joy and love.

41. oldal - It is better to walk than to run, and better to stand still than to walk ; and better to sit than to stand, and better to lie down than to sit." Industry is the secret of those grand results that fill the mind with wonder— the folios of the ancients, the pyramids of the Egyptians, those stupendous works of internal communication in our own country that bind the citizens of many different states in the bonds of harmony and interest.
