Sunday, January 26, 1868 - "I heard the Churchbell to day."

This is a stormy day. It has snowed all day. Thare is none of the folks to church to day. I heard the Churchbell to day.

Maxims for Young Ladys.*
Don’t scream, unless you are frightened.
A narrowness of waist showes a narrowness of mind.
Dreams are the novels that we read when we are fast asleep.
Practice on the piano makes perfect.
Never faint when you are alone. Always select some good opportunity – or young man.
An old maid is an odd boot – no use without a fellow.

*These appear to come from issues of Punch magazine.
