Hence it is the part of a wise person to make his working conduct as like to his sleep as possible. Therefore, beware of every extreme. Avoid laughing, that you may not weep, - mirth, lest you become sad, - anger, that it may not return into your own heart, - joy, lest you find too soon that it stays not on the earth, - the excitement of wine, of music, or of company, for he who drinks of that cup shall find the dregs bitter. In all things seek regularity, for it is the surest destroyer of thought, and all thought leads...

...vampire. Her government runs streets for shops through our sacred soil, her peelers interfere with our after-dinner reveries, her people crowd our conveyances to Boston, her factories disgust us. Her mucker roams in freedom through our sacred yard, her maiden robs the freedom of the student's heart.
