!" They q. e. Cato and Ceas..r,)
were nearly equal in family, age ard
sloquence. They were equal ia
greatness of mind AMI in renawo.
Y their qualities were different.
Caesar obtained he name Of rresr
man, by his muni6cence, ard by eos-
ferring beneh So Cato by the inteeri-
~ otahis life. The one became Illus.
trices by his mildness and his mercif,,I
disposition. Severity added dignity
to the other. Caesar acquired glory
by bestowing, by relieving, by foreiy-
ing-Cato BY giving nothing. In the
one there was a refuge for the unfor-
tunate, in the other destruction for the
wicked.
+" The facility of the one, the FIRM
ness of the other, was,ptaised. Cea-
sar acquired the habit of Iaboring. Of
watching, of neglsc.iag his own pri-
vate concerns, of attending to those of
his friends. He wished for a great
empire, an army, new war where
his talents might be displayed.-The
study and the desire of Cato consis-
ted IN mcdesty, propriety, but chiefly
IN severity OF manners. He commended
not with the rich, in riches, il, the fac.s
o., with the factious but in firm
ness with the brave in modest with
the Innocens. He preferred rather 10
be good, than &c. appear so and the
less he sought renuwn, the more it.
