Train the understanding. Take care that the mind has a stout and straight stem. Leave the flowers of -wit and fancy to take care of themselves. Sticking them on will not make them grow. You can only engraft them by grafting; that which will produce.

To-morrow—the day on wlricli idle men work and fools reform.
