In what pagan nation was Moloch ever propitiated by such an unbroken and swift-moving procession of victims as are offered to this Moloch of Christendom, intemperance.

Ignorance has been well represented under the similitude of a dungeon, where, though it is full of life, yet darkness and silence reign. But in society the bars and locks have been broken; the dungeon itself is demolished; the prisoners are out; they are in the midst of us. We have no security but to teach and renovate them.

Time is a seedfield; in youth we sow it with causes; in after life we reap the harvest of effects.

But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is so much carved out of his domain of universal knowledge.

It would be more honourable to our distinguished ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more.

Thank Heaven, the female heart is untenantable by atheism.
