was financially able to stand the loss.

who has the blithe and ready humor
to enter into his fun becomes the most

He heeds her rebukes and bends TO
her correction without Ill feeling.
while sternness would arouse his pride

would cultivate their minds and give
them broad and stable views Of life.
