But little for my love have l.
 The gifts l bring alas, are few; A kiss at morn and two at eve. A loving heart that's warm and true Plain is the home wherein we dwell For dress there's seldom augft to

 Yet she is fair as any queen Old clothes become her beauty rare. Her eyes are blue as rain washed skies, Her face is like the earth at dawn: Her voice recalls the thrush's note; More graceful is she than the fawn. So when she smiles, or speaks, or walks, For dress none has a thought or care; No lady of the courts so grand Old clothes becomes her beauty rare.

Don't be afraid to fight against odds. Most things worth having are hard to get.
 Don't be afraid of censure. We all need toning down as well as toning up. advantage It is given you for that purpose.
 Don't be afraid Of rivals. Things may be crowded below, but there is always room on top.
 Don't be afraid to be polite at all times and under all circumstances. It is no disgrace to be called a gentle man.
 THOUGHTS FROM EMERSON.
 Do not make life hard to any.
 The pest of society is egotism.
 Life should not be cheap, but sa- cred.
 Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.
 God enters by private door into every individual.
 Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
 There is always room for a man of force, and he makes room for many.
 There is no beautifier of complexion, of form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.
 Do not waste your life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, we'll assured that the right performance of this hours duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
 Insist on yourself; never initiate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an eXtemporaneous half-posses- sion.
