There are no richer treasures to be bought,

Than living Maxims, sparkling, deathless Thought.

SUGAR VALLEY, A. D. 1860.

Dedication to Wisdom.

I hope I've pluck'd without offense
From brow of sage Experience,

These WRINKLES quaint-the laws of Fate!

Which I, O, WISDOM! DEDICATE

you, who unto others do

All that you'd have them do to you.
