Nature is full of genius, full of divinity.

Blessed are they who never read a newspaper, for they shall see Nature, and through her, God.

A man may acquire a taste for wine or brandy, and so lose his love for water, but should we not pity him.

A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subjectfor Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.

The sun rarely shines in history, what with the dust and confusion; and when we meet with any cheering fact which implies the presence of this luminary, we excerpt and modernize it.

There must be some nerve and heroism in our love, as of a winter morning.

To live a better life,--this surely can be done.
