Enquire within upon everything

Some
seeds
of
various
kinds
lay
by--
I
knew
not
what
they
were--
But,
rudely
turning
o'er
the
soil,
I
strewed
them
thickly
there;
And
day
by
day
I
watched
them
spring
From
out
the
fertile
earth,
And
hoped
for
many
a
lovely
thing
Of
beauty
and
of
worth.
But
as
I
marked
their
leaves
unfold
As
weeds
before
my
view,
And
saw
how
stubbornly
and
bold
The
thorns
and
nettles
grew--
I
sighed
to
think
that
I
had
done,
Unwittingly,
a
thing
That,
where
a
beauteous
bower
should
thrive,
But
worthless
weeds
did
spring.
And
thus
I
mused;
the
things
we
do,
With
little
heed
or
ken,
May
prove
of
worthless
growth,
and
strew
With
thorns
the
paths
of
men;
For
little
deeds,
like
little
seeds,
May
flowers
prove,
or
noxious
weeds!

Taking
a
House.
Before
taking
a
house,
be
careful
to
calculate
that
the
rent
is
not
too
high
in
proportion
to
your
means;
for
remember
that
the
rent
is
a
claim
that
must
be
paid
with
but
little
delay,
and
that
the
landlord
has
greater
power
over
your
property
than
any
other
creditor.
It
is
difficult
to
assign
any
fixed
proportion
between
income
and
rental
to
suit
all
cases,
but
a
reasonable
basis
for
the
settlement
of
this
point
may
be
found
in
the
assertion
that
while
not
less
than
one-tenth
of
a
man's
entire
income
need
be
set
apart
for
rent,
not
more
than
a
sixth,
or
at
the
very
utmost
a
fifth
should
be
devoted
to
this
purpose,
and
this
amount
ought
to
include
parochial
rates
and
taxes.
