Man May Dismiss Compassion From His Heart,

She That Asks Her Dear Five Hundred Friends, Contemns Them All, And Hates Their Coming.

As Creeping Ivy Clings To Wood Or Stone, And Hides The Ruin That It Feeds Upon, So Sophistry, Cleaves Close To, And Protects Sin's Rotten Trunk, Concealing Its Defects.

Knowledge And Wisdom, Far From Being One, Have Oft-times No Connection. Knowledge Dwells In Heads Replete With Thoughts Of Other Men; Wisdom In Minds Attentive To Their Own.

Necessity Invented Stools, Convenience Next Suggested Elbow-chairs, And Luxury The Accomplish'd Sofa Last.

[my Kitten] Is Dressed In A Tortoise-shell Suit, And I Know You Will Delight In Her.
