HUMAN BROTHERHOOD.—The race of mankind would
perish did they cease to aid each other. From the time
that the mother binds the child's head till the moment
that some kind assistant wipes the death-damp from the
brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual
help. 'Ail, therefore, that need aid have a right to ask
it from their fellow-mortals ; no one who holds the
power of granting can refuge it without guilt,--Sit if
Scott.
