160 Years Ago

PRESCOTT TRANSCRIPT October 20, 1860

A GOOD WOMAN NEVER GROWS OLD.

Years may pass over her head but if benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful as when the spring of life opened in her view. When we look at a good woman we never think of her age; she looks charming as when the rose of youth first blossomed on her cheek.

Many a man thinks it is a virtue that keeps him from turning a rascal, when it is only a full stomach. One should be careful and not mistake potatoes for principles.
