146 The wife—and she is not one jot less than the
 * husband,

The daughter—and she is just as good as the son, The mother—and she is every bit as much as the
 * father.

Offspring of those not rich, boys apprenticed to
 * trades,

Young fellows working on farms, and old fellows
 * working on farms,

The näive, the simple and hardy, he going to the
 * polls to vote, he who has a good time, and he
 * has who a bad time,

Mechanics, southerners, new arrivals, laborers, sailors,
 * man-o'wars-men, merchantmen, coasters,

All these I see—but nigher and farther the same I
 * see,

None shall escape me, and none shall wish to escape
 * me.

I bring what you much need, yet always have, Not money, amours, dress, eating, but as good; I send no agent or medium, offer no representative
 * of value, but offer the value itself.

There is something that comes home to one now and ::perpetually, It is not what is printed, preached, discussed—it
 * eludes discussion and print,

It is not to be put in a book—it is not in this
 * book,

It is for you, whoever you are—it is no farther from
 * you than your hearing and sight are from you,
