Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 26 Remember the old saying, Time and tide wait for no man. Very true are the simple words. Youth is the spring of our lives. Just as the flowers put forth their tiny heads in the early sunlight, bud, bloom and die, so are our lives. We, as the roses in the garden, bud in childhood, bloom in youth and fade and die as the chilly autumn winds overtake us. Then let us work while the sun shines, ever remembering that labor brings the sweetest joy. Dixie. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
