And as natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress towards perfection.

Seite 282 - Read the Rede of this old Roof Tree. Here be trust fast. Opinion free. Knightly right hand. Christian knee. Worth in all. Wit in some. Laughter open. Slander dumb. Hearth where rooted Friendships grow. Safe as Altar even to Foe. And the eparks that upwards go When the hearth flame dies below If thy sap in them may be Fear no Winter old Roof Tree ! JAMES HOOPER.
