excellent
a wife, and she to be married to so excellent a husband.

The poet went to London in December,—a most unpropitious season,—
and naturally nothing pleased him there; he found the climate
detestable, the manners of the English rude and cold, their literature
of a barbaric richness, and in fact he
approved
of nothing in England
but its Constitution, which he thought not only good but worthy of
imitation.

commander-in-chief of the American armies is so little burdened with
his approaching grandeurs and responsibilities as to be giving his whole
strategic mind at this moment to trying to find out some way to get his
big toe into his mouth--an achievement which, meaning no disrespect, the
illustrious guest of this evening turned his entire attention to some
fifty-six years ago; and if the child is but a
prophecy
of the man,
there are mighty few who will doubt that he succeeded.

My Legacy
The
business
man the acquirer vast,
After assiduous years surveying results, preparing for departure,
Devises houses and lands to his children, bequeaths stocks, goods,
funds for a school or hospital,
Leaves money to certain companions to buy tokens, souvenirs of gems
and gold.
