It is the nature of the human disposition to hate him whom you have injured. --_Tacitus._ 837 I am almost frozen by the distance you are from me. 838 If a man makes me keep my distance, the comfort is, he keeps his at the same time. 839 Health is rightly appreciated only when we are sick. --_German Proverb._ 840 A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools. 841 He that is well does not know how rich he is. Better a healthy beggar, than a sick king. --_German Proverb._ 842 It is better to have less wealth and more health. 843 Health is so necessary to all duties, as well as pleasures of life, that the crime of squandering it is equal to the folly. 844 HEALTH. Thou chiefest good, Bestow'd by Heaven, but seldom understood. --_Lucan._ 845 The only way for a rich man to be healthy is, by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he were poor. --_Sir W. Temple._ 846 An innocent heart suspects no guile. --_Portuguese._ 847 A BROKEN HEART. Dr. Mitchell of Philadelphia, in lecturing to his pupils upon the diseases of the heart, narrated an anecdote to prove that the expression "broken heart" was not merely figurative. On one occasion, in the early period of his life, he accompanied, as surgeon, a packet that sailed from Liverpool to one of the American ports. The captain frequently conversed with him respecting a lady who had promised to become his bride on his return from that voyage. Upon this subject he evinced great warmth of feeling, and showed Dr. Mitchell some costly jewels, ornaments, etc., which he intended to present as bridal presents. On reaching his destination, he was abruptly informed that the lady had married some one else. Instantly the captain was observed to clap his hand to his breast, and fall heavily to the ground. He was taken up, and conveyed to his cabin on board the vessel. Dr. Mitchell was immediately summoned; but, before he reached the poor captain, he was dead. A postmortem examination revealed the cause of his unfortunate disease. His heart was found literally torn in twain! The tremendous propulsion of blood, consequent upon such a violent nervous shock, forced the powerful muscle tissues asunder, and life was at an end. The heart was broken. 848 Every heart has its secret sorrow, which the world knows not; and oftentimes we call a man cold when he is only sad. 849 PARTING. To know, to esteem, to love,--and then to part, Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart. --_Coleridge._ 850
