Pàgina 199 - God, give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking...
Pàgina 142 - As, when we view these shreds and ends, We know not what the whole intends ; So, when on earth things look but odd, They're working still some scheme of God. " No plan, no pattern, can we trace ; All wants proportion, truth, and grace ; The motley mixture we deride, Nor see the beauteous upper side. " But when we reach that world of light, And view those works of God aright, Then shall we see the whole design, And own the Workman is divine.
Pàgina 142 - My work is yet in bits, But still in every part it fits ; Besides, you reason like a lout : Why, man, that carpet's inside out!" Says John, " Thou sayst the thing I mean, And now I hope to cure thy spleen : This world, which clouds thy soul with doubt, Is but a carpet inside out. "As when we view these shreds and ends We know not what...
Pàgina 142 - I'm almost tired of life ; So hard my work, so poor my fare, Tis more than mortal man can bear. " How glorious is the rich man's state ! His house so fine, his wealth so great ! Heaven is unjust, you must agree ; Why all to him...
Pàgina 281 - The abdomen contains the bowels, of which there are five — a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y.
Pàgina 142 - Seest thou that carpet, not half done, Which thou, dear Dick, hast well begun'? Behold the wild confusion there ! So rude the mass it makes one stare ! " A stranger, ignorant of the trade, Would say, ' No meaning's there conveyed ; For where's the middle, where's the border T Thy carpet now is all disorder.
Pàgina 142 - In spite of what the Scripture teaches, In spite of all the parson preaches, This world — indeed, I've thought so long — Is ruled, methinks, extremely wrong. "Where'er I look, howe'er I range, Tis all confused, and hard and strange; The good are troubled and oppressed, And all the wicked are the blest...
Pàgina 132 - JOHN SPRATT will eat no fat, Nor will he touch the lean; He scorns to eat of any meat, He lives upon Foodine. But Mrs. Spratt will none of that, Foodine she cannot eat; Her special wish is for a dish Of Expurgated Wheat. To William Spratt that food is flat On which his mater dotes. His favorite feed — his special need — Is Eata Heapa Oats. But sister Lil can't see how Will Can touch such tasteless food. As breakfast fare it can't compare, She says, with Shredded Wood. Now, none of these Leander...
Pàgina 272 - Keep on a-jamming them in till it cracks. Once boys grew up at a rational rate, Now we develop a man while you wait, Rush him through college, compel him to grab, Of every known subject a dip and a dab. Get him in business and after the cash, All by the time he can grow a mustache Let him forget he was ever a boy, Make gold his god and its jingle his joy. Keep him a-hustling and clear out of breath, Until he wins — nervous prostration and death.
Pàgina 293 - I PUT my heart to school In the world, where men grow wise. " Go out," I said, " and learn the rule ; Come back when you win a prize." My heart came back again. " Now where is the prize ?" I cried. " The rule was false, and the prize was pain, And the teacher's name was Pride.
