If a crooked stick is before us
you mead not explain how crooked
it is. Lay a straight one down by
the side of it, and the work is we'll
done. Preach the truth and error
will stand abashed in its presence.

They are as sick that surfeit with
too much, as they that starve with
nothing. 1t is no mean happiness,
therefore, to be seated in the mean;
superiority comes sooner by white
hairs, but competency lives longer.

Domestic happiness is the end of
almost all our pursuits, and the
common reward of all our pains.

A chance may win that by mis-
