1) It isn't the man who knows the most, That has the most to say, It isn't
the man who has the most, That gives the most away. B.A. May 1918
2) Love. The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light

eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love
is done. C. Stitt, Bangor 20/10/19

1) Of all the girls in our town, The black, the fair, the red, the
brown, That dance & prance it up & down, There's none like Belle Anderson.
F. Barton 12/11/15 Drumclay House, Enniskillen
2) February '18 -
Dear Belle, The great love I have hitherto expressed for you
is false, & I find my indifference towards you
increases daily. The more I see of you the more
you appeal in my eyes an object of contempt.
I feel myself everyway disposed & determined
to hate you. Believe me. I had never any intention
to offer you my hand. Our last conversation had
left a tedious insipidity, which has by no means
given me the most exalted idea of your character,
your temper would make me extremely unhappy,
& if we are united I shall experience nothing but
the hatred of my parents added to the ever lasting dis
pleasure of living with you. I have indeed a heart
to bestow, but I do not desire you to imagine it
at your service. I could not give it to anyone more
inconsistent & capricious than yourself, and less
capable to do honour to my choice family.
Yes! I hope you will be persuaded that
I speak sincerely, & trust that you will do me the favour
to avoid me. I shall excuse you taking the trouble
to answer this, your letters are always full of
impertinence, & you have not a shadow of
wit & good sense. Adieu Adieu, believe me
I am so adverse to you that it is impossible for me
ever to be your most affectionate friend.
A. Chump.
To interpret the above correctly, commence again on the first line & read
every alternate line to the end.
C. McC.
3) By gum it stuck. W. M. C.
4) Good Advice. Be a good girl, Lead a good life, Get a good husband, And
make a good wife. W. M. Connell 25/11/15
5) Blessed is the man that sitteth on a tin tack, For he shall surely rise.
March 24th 19. E. R. S.?

they are too hot, Lather away and forget-me-not. Hubert Anderson, 17 Lomond

1) Belle now Belle ever, Anderson now but, not for ever. Katie Mawhinney
27.11.15 P.S. In years to come, when this you see, I wonder what your
name shall be. I. C.
2) Build a little homely house, And fence it round about, With Quietude and
Happiness, To keep the trouble out. All the walls are Thankfullness, All the
planks are Prayer, Faith and trust keep off the rust, That comes of anxious
care. Hope's the roof that shelters you, From every wind of wrong, And
Love's own light on the hearth burns bright, To warm you all day long. May
L. Waugh 26/7/1918
3) Out of the fields of Remembrance, Out of the years that have been,
Garnered is all the harvest, But the loveliest sheaf I glean. Rich with a
brightness unfading, Ripened by sunlight and dew, Is the golden sheaf of my
wishes, That are one with the thought of you. My Wish. Many happy years,
unbroken friendships, and cheerful recollections. J. Mitchell 20/11/19
4) 24th March 19 The passions can seldom be trusted, The heart often: the
head always, Never say die, never tell a lie, never put your finger in other
people's pie. E. P. S.
5) Courtesy is the oil in the machinery of social life, It is necessary for
comfort, and it helps to make people happy. L. McKimm, Belfast 20/11/19
6 & 7) Please do not turn this leaf over! There! I knew you were all
curiosity. N. A.
8) Love. The love that comes the slowest, Is the slowest to depart, So the
whisper spoken lowest, Goes nearest to the heart. N. McKeown, Bangor

1) To write in your Album, dear friend do you ask, Ah well - it is not such
a difficult task, For all I can say is contained in one line, May the
blessings of Heaven for ever be thine. E. Cathcart, "The Chestnuts"
Whitehead. 7/8/18
2) Remembrance. I've searched these pages o'er and o'er, To see what others
wrote before, So in this quiet little spot, I here inscribe for-get-me-not.
25/11/15 H. McCloy, Bangor, Co. Down
3) Latin as she is spoke. I. Girlibus sittibus in servatorum, Boyibus
comeabus in at the doorum, Armabus wundabus little waistorum, Boyibus
kneelibus down on the floorum, Tryibus kissibus sweet girliorum. II.
Fatheribus passibus outside the doorum, Hearibus kissibus sweet girliorum,
Stampabus swearibus, tableau vivorum, Kickabus boyibus out by the doorum,
Boyibus comeabus never no morum. C. V. S. Whiteabbey 7 VIII 18
4) The happiest time of any man's life, Is when he is clasped in the arms of
Another man's Wife. (His Mother) F. C.
5) This time next year, Where shall we be, Shall I see you, Or shall you see
me. A Business Pal. Remember me when far away, And only half awake,
Remember me on your wedding day, And send me a piece of your cake. F. Barton
Drumclay House, Enniskillen
6) O, Love for a week, for a year, or a day. But give me the Love, That
loveth alway. J. M. 20.11.19
7) Smile a little, smile a little, As you go along, Not alone when life is
pleasant, But when things go wrong. Care delights to see you frowning,
Love's to hear you sigh, Turn a smiling face upon her, Quick the dame will
fly. Smile a little, smile a little, All along the road, Every life must
have its burden, Every heart must have its load? Why sit down in gloom &
darkness, With your grief to sup, As you drink fates bitter tonic, Smile
across the cup. M. Barton. 12/11/15

fool of him inside twenty minutes. J. H. B.

a fit of laughter gits ye, An' yer' spine is feelin' proud, Don't forgit to
up and fling it, At a soul that's feelin' blue, For the minit that ye sling
it, It's a boomerang to you. 25th Nov. 1915. Florence I. Connolly, Belfast

4) Maiden, that readest this simple rhyme, Enjoy thy youth, it will not

Nettie McAdam 5th August 1918

1) It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song, But
the man worth while is the man who will smile, When everything goes dead
wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the
years, And the smile that is worth the praise of men, Is the smile that
comes through tears. A. Jackson, 20 July 1917, Strandtown, Belfast

until The very end. Maude Arnold 17/11/19 Belfast

Travel to his snout. Rita Craig 11/1/16 62 Ardenlee Avenue, Belfast

old Boots, Are under the bed together. W. N. H.?

of distant friends your thinking, Will you sometimes think of me. Isabel
Maxwell 7th August 1918

some great daring venture, Some deed that mocks at fear; But we can fill a
lifetime, With kindly deeds and true, There is always noble service, For
noble souls to do. N. Ervine, Belfast 1919
8) Eva Rodgers, Comber 8/11/17
