I have thus set down that which was in my mind at the time, not that it is of any especial importance, but to the end that he who reads may understand how undecided I was as to what my company had best do at such a time; and I believe every person will realize that a lad's love for country must be great when it prompts him to turn his back on home and loved ones after having passed through as many dangers as had our boys from Cherry Valley.
But certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man. Behind the logical form lies a judgment as to the relative worth and importance of competing legislative grounds, often an inarticulate and unconscious judgment, it is true, and yet the very root and nerve of the whole proceeding. You can give any conclusion a logical form. You always can imply a condition in a contract.
For a thing of importance must be long and prudently considered of, before a final conclusion can be made. Follow the advice of understanding friends. For to be wise, and in love, was not given to the Gods themselves. Chuse no Country wench: For she'l want a whole years learning, before she'l know how to shine upon a house or Office, and two years to learn to make a cursie.
Some one asked me the other day, if I were not "weary of being so often put forward to talk of 'How to Make Home Happy, a subject upon which nothing new could be said."

"Nothing would give me more pleasure," said the Senator; "but what I mean is this; the question is, of course, one of paramount importance." "No doubt it is," said the deluded rector. "It is very necessary to get good doctors." "Well, yes, rather; considering that all men wish to live." That observation, of course, came from Doctor Nupper.
This would be of little importance, but for the fact that the considerable river Luapula, or Loapula is said to flow out of Bemba to the westward, and then to spread out into another and much larger lake, named Moero, or Moelo.
I wrote to Sherman: "Impress upon the men the importance of going through the State in an orderly manner, abstaining from taking anything not absolutely necessary for their subsistence while travelling. They should try to create as favorable an impression as possible upon the people."
"Who is it?" she asked breathlessly, for she read importance in his tone. "It is the horseman we saw on the hillside." His eyes passed over her face pityingly. "I will go and bring him." She caught his arm. "Who is it? Is it any one I know?" "It is some one you know," he answered, and left the room.
