me without your heart approves your choice , so I abjure you to look well into that heart before you accept Joel Crawley , or any other , and learn whether there is in that heart such a love as your pure , womanly nature should bring to the man you honour with your hand . Without such love , marriage is a sacrilege and a mockery . And now promise me that you will give no one your acceptance for one year to come . RememberI ask itand ask because I love !"

, Shall live to rue it all his days , Nor shall enjoy his brother ' s . For profit by another ' s toil Will curse the soul which gains it , Though by a constant strife ancl broil The guilty one retains it .
Seek not for that ill-gotten wealth Gained by your fraud from others , For God will surely curse the pelf Yon swindle from your brothers .
Give to each man his labour ' s fruit , Nor seek to rob him of it ; For selfishness is at the root , And it is sin to covet , God hates the meanly thinking knave , Who b y the work of others
The wealth which is not his would save , Ancl gain what is his brother ' s . God loves the man who nobl y toils For all that he is needing ; He hates the man who robs aud spoils Nor heeds the orphan ' s leading .
p Gain all you may by honest thrift , So it is not your brother ' s ; But God shall cut that soul adrift That covetcfh another ' s .
