crumbs of comfort.
1 quart milk of human kindness.
Several drops essence of goodness and happiness.
Good dripping from the eaves of Love's dwelling.
Blend these well with a little of the oil of Time to mellow and soften.
Place the heart on a warm hearth with Love's rays full upon it and some
of the light of other days. Move it now and then, but do not probe it.
Keep the world's cold blasts from it if possible, but do not allow it to
be absorbed in its own juices. It will take time to prepare, but when
ready is fit for king or peasant and welcome at any table.
SAUCE FOR ABOVE.
Pint or more good spirits, a few honeyed words; a little cream of
society may improve, but is not necessary. Carefully avoid cold water,
vinegar, or pepper, or acidity in any form.
The above will keep for years.--S. L.
CONTENTED.--If you can live free from want, care for no more, for the
rest is vanity.
THE STORMS OF ADVERSITY.--A smooth sea never made a skilful mariner,
neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify anyone for
usefulness and happiness. The storms of adversity, like the storms of
the ocean, arouse the faculties and excite the intention, prudence,
skill and fortitude of the voyager.
