1642-1892Legends of Woburn, now first written and preserved in collected form ..to which is added a chrono-indexical history of Woburn . res are made up from statistics andactual past experience, as can be verified by any onetaking the trouble to examine : and when such re-markable regularity, as is exhibited in the recurrence 119 of the different periods, is taken into consideration, itis evident that the great laws of business, guided anddirected by all the wants, pride, passions and follieswhich are inherent in human nature, will continue togovern all future business and transactions, in spiteof all past experience and warnings to the contrary,and so, like results will be the rule in the future. Of course, peculiar circumstances have some in-fluence, so that panics will vary in intensity, and evensomewhat in time of occurrence ; but not even ourgigantic civil war, the Mexican, the war of 1812, orpolitical changes, interrupted, in any considerable de-gree, the great march of those principles and methodsof human nature, on which civilized life is based, andwhich govern all individuals and the nations. -^-^^iS^^^^Sr^^^. Anecdotal Legends of Woburn. Why worry oer the ills of life,Or cloud the day with wordy strife ? Tell anecdotes, and laugh between,They light the face, and clear the spleen. Now these choice scraps of native wit,Like wine, are ripened quite a bit By age, which adds a genial shineTo humor, mellowed down by time.
