Page 97 - It was my guide, my light, my all, It bade my dark forebodings cease ; And through the storm and danger's thrall, It led me to the port of peace. Now safely moored — my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, For ever and for evermore, The Star!— The Star of Bethlehem...

Page 94 - These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, Almighty, thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair; thyself how wondrous then !

Page 70 - A direful death indeed they had, As wad put any parent mad ; But she was more than usual calm, She did not give a single dam.
Page 276 - The humorous writer professes to awaken and direct your love, your pity, your kindness ; your scorn for untruth, pretension, imposture ; your tenderness for the weak, the poor, the oppressed, the unhappy. To the best of his means and ability he comments on all the ordinary actions and passions of life almost. He takes upon himself to be the week-day preacher, so to speak.
