1878
Mold is a forest of beautiful trees, with the branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is covered with scales like a fish; a single grain of sand would cover one hundred and fifty of these scales, and yet a scale covers five hundred pores. Through these narrow openings the perspiration forces itself like water through a sieve.
Each drop of stagnant water contains a world of living creatures, swimming with as much liberty as whales in the sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects grazing it, like a cow in a meadow. — Exchange.
Words of Wisdom
It is easier to blame than to do better.
If you wish to succeed in life, govern your temper.
We love much more warmly by cherishing the intention of giving pleasure than an hour afterwards when we have given it.
If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other hearts, but a continent that joins them.
The last, best fruit which comes to late perfection, even in the kindliest soul, is tenderness toward the hard, forbearance toward the unforbearing, warmth of heart toward the cold, and philanthropy toward the misanthropic.
