So True |!

Forget not that a humble friend may
one day rise to power.
The best ornament a wife can give to
a house is an agreeable disposition.
She who marries man to reform him
will have a couch of thorns.
The man who loves a child will make
good husband and a safe friend.
The roots of the nation are planted in
the love, devotion and patriotism of the
children of tie present, and must be
transplanted into the hearts Of their chill
dren.
The womanly woman glorifes the sex.
If wives kept the nets mended with
which they caught their husbands, they
would appear less frequently in the di-
VOrce courts.
