APHORISMS AND REFLECTIONS
I don’t know what you think about * anniversaries. I like them, being always minded to drink my cup of life to the bottom, and take my chance of the sweets and bitters. * * * * Of the few innocent pleasures left to men past middle life—the jamming common-sense down the throats of fools is perhaps the keenest. * ■* * ■?*• Life is like walking along a crowded street—there always seem to be fewer obstacles to getting along on the opposite pavement—and yet, if one crosses over, matters are rarely mended. •fc * * * The great thing one has to wish for as time goes oh is vigour as long as one lives, and death as soon as vigour flags.
