There are teachings on earth, and sky, and air, 
The heavens the glory of God declare; 
But louder than voice beneath, above. 
He is heard to speak in a mother’s love.

“Bare ’broidery of the purple clover.” 
This is a plant of different species of the genus Trifolium; as the 
common Red Clover. 
Industry—Diligence. 
«|£01),” says a thoughtful and subtle author, “provides the good things 
tsJ of this world to serve the needs of nature, by the labors of the plow¬ 
man, the skill and pains of the artisan, and the dangers and traffic of the 
merchant. . . The idle person is like one that is dead, unconcerned in 
the changes and necessities of the world; and he only lives to spend his 
time, and eat the fruits of the earth; like a vermin or a wolf, when their 
time comes, they die and perish, and in the meantime do no good.”—At 
the workingman s house, hunger looks in but dares not enter. Few things 
are impossible to diligence and skill. 
“For the structures that we raise 
Time is with materials filled; 
Our to-days and yesterdays 
Are the blocks with which we build.” 
— Longfellow.
