The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same;--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them; a change of motives as well as of action.

All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.

Nothing is more completely the child of art than a garden.

Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!

Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.

Welcome as the flowers in May.

Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
