Sqid losephine ol NcPoleon
"In my house you have met Gencral Bonaparte. Wellhe it is who would aupply a father'r place to the orphanr of Alcxander de Beauharnaie, and a husband's to his widow. I admire the General'E courage, the extent of hig information for on dl subiects he talks cqually well, and the quickness of his judgment which enablcs him to seize thc thoughts of others almost beforc they are expressed; but, I confess it, I Bhrink from the despotism he seems desirous of cxercising over dl who approach him. His searching glancc has something aingular and inexplicable, which imposes even on our directors; judge if it may not intimidate a woman. Even-what ought to pleasc me-the force of a passion described with an cnergy that leaves not a doubt of his sincerity, is precisely the cause which arrests the consent f am often on the point of pronouncing."
The Human Voice
How wonderful is the human voice ! It is indeed the organ of the soul ! The intellect of man sits enthroned visibly upon his forehead and in his eye; and the heart of man is written upon his countenance. But the soul reveals itself in the voice only, as God revealed Himself to the prophet of old. in the "still, small voice," and in a voice from the burning bush. The soul of man is audible, not visible. A sound alone betrays the fowing of the eternal fountain, invisible to man.-Longfellow.
Ccrmoullcge
The business man had just hired a very beautiful secretary, and he sai<l to her: "One thing more, Miss Jones. I{ave you got an old passport photo of yourself that I can show to my wife?"
Your Body
God made your body, And He made it great; For in it dwells a guest
Of high estate.
Keep the shrine pure, and Clean and whole, For in it dwells God's guestA kingly soul.
Ito* in math there "rlTi". words to express any number from one to infinity; while to describe amatory emotions, also infinite in their variety, we have but one word-love.
How much distress and doubt would be avoided if all the varieties could be numerically catalogued. It is inconceivable, almost, that necessity has not produced a greater accuracy of language.
In music, for instance, we can express with precision any notc by name, or evcn a combination of notc!. But love is likc color. We cannot exPrcst a color in wordr, except with the loosegt of definition. We ray thc thing ia black; but there are hundreds of shadee, all commonly termed black. There are thousands of emotions all commonly termed love. A man of 50 loves elsewisc to the youth. A man loves a young wife not more than an old, but in quite a difrerent fashion. The lady in lavender loves, and Carmcn loves, but who would recognize the sentiments aE related?
-Algernon Crofton.
The Lord Hcd A Iob
The Lord had a job for me, But I had so much to do, I said, "You get somebody else Or wait till I get through."
I don't know how the Lord came out, But He seemed to get along, But I felt kinda sneakin' like, Cause I knowed I done Him wrong.
One day I needed the Lord mYself, Needed Him right away, And He never answered me at all, But I could hear Him sayDown in my accusin' heart"I'se got too much to do, You just get somebody else, Or wait till I get through."
-Paul Lawrence Dunbar' (Famous negro poet).
fhe Other HalI
The former United States Senator James E. Watson, re' calling his days as a struggling lawyer. used to tell the following story about one of his cases.

His client was a rambunctious old Irish woman whose unpredictable and irascible actions bedeviled the court and her own sweating attorney as well. She had but one lawyer, young James Watson, while her opposition had two, an advantage that seemed to weigh heavily on her mind, and she said so.
"Mary," he finally demanded, "what on earth do you want another lawyer for?"
And she explained: "You see, on their side when wan man is talkin' the other man is thinkin'; on our side, when you are talkin'-there's no wan a-thinkin'."
His Hurry
The northern visitor playing golf near the Gulf of Mexico, found he had the slowest moving caddy he had ever seen. Finally he said to the dusky one:
"Mose, don't you do anything in a hurry?"
And Mose said: "Yassuh. I gits tiud in a hurry."
