Book Description
Excerpt from Peter Parley's Annual, for 1865: A Christmas and New Year's Present, for Young People Watch them unseen, and you will find the lips apart, the eye'inquiring; there is then a look that might be taken for pensive. Boys in masses we seldom notice; but when alone, if they have not been early spoiled, they excite our wonder and admiration. What a fair index of the mind within is the shining morning face. Shakespeare was the best of portrait painters here. The mother-sick age not entirely past, who would not be a boy again, to carry the shining morning face who has the blue summer sky for his canopy, and the green fields for his carpet, and buttercups and daisies forthe em broidery thereof. 0 happy, enviable age! Beautiful boyhood! Age of hope and order, of generous emotion, of heavenly disinterestedness age when the thirsty soul, through eye and ear, is drinking the fine essences of the virtues which, by God's blessing, will become perennial fountains of love and magnanimity in manhood.
