How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life.

It's a great thing to have a lady aboard with clean habits. It sets the man a good example. A man alone, he gets to living like a hog.

"One Horse Pony"
I'm a one horse pony my name is Joe
God surely loves me because he knows I'm slow
My wife's a "Doctor" but she don't know
Can anyone show me which way to go
Joe! the swamp you seek is just ahead
We all know you're not much well read
Why don't you go on back to bed
And let that just be said.

Prize not thyself by what thou hast, but by what thou art; he that values a jewel by her golden frame, or a book by her silver clasps, or a man by his vast estate - errs.
