The
Different Changes of the Universe
All around us we
see different changes of everything, and there is not one thing and of
so many as there are, that is out of order. The planets revolve in their
regular orbits, the seasons depart and return; man is born and dies, we
are all constantly wearing out our bodies until we die. The tree first
spring up from seed and keep growing until they get their growth. A man
keeps growing until he gets his growth. Thus you see we are all changeable
beings. Perhaps tomorrow you or I or possibly both of us shall be in our
graves, although to day we are well. There are so many changes in this
world that there is no certainty with us. To be continued...
Adieu. G.A.W Jan 8th 1844
I
wish to say a few words on temperance.
Intemperance is one of the meanest and vilest things in the world, but
is fast going out of date. Dr. Franklin lived to considerable of an age
and he was temperate in all things. I think some folks ought to be a little
more temperate in using tobacco. Good Bye. G.A.W. Jan 8th, 1843
