Side 294 - Poverty is uncomfortable, as I can testify ; but nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard, and compelled to sink or swim for himself. In all my acquaintance I never knew a man to be drowned who was worth the saving.
Side 294 - He needs must think of her once more, How in the grave she lies; And with his hard, rough hand he wipes A tear out of his eyes.
Side 10 - So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, Thou must, The youth replies, I can...

Side 289 - What stronger breast-plate than a heart untainted ? Thrice is he armed, that hath his quarrel just ; And he but naked, though locked up in steel, Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.
Side 279 - The infinitive with to, like a prepositional phrase, may be used Adverbially to modify the meaning of a verb, an adjective, or an adverb, by showing the purpose, cause, respect in which, etc. Thus : — We need the money to pay (for paying) the help. They are slow to depart (in departing). It is ripe enough to eat (for eating).
