fill the posts which the Interests of his
country would have Coniided 10 very
different hands.
In these hard times, when true moral
courage is called Tor by the situation oil
most men, it is proper that they should
cultivate all the habits OF seIi-command.
The times call Tor sacrifices, and we must
make them. We must offer up, Oh the
shrine Of a stern necessity, our fashions
our pride, our finery, our own indulgence,
and, what is more difficult, the habisual
qualifications Of those who are most dear
to US, OF our wives and children. Virlue
requires Of many man TO put down his
carriage, to ecunonize in the number oil
his servants, to drink less wine, to cur
tail all his expenses. Oar wives beg us
for rich shawls and costly dresses. We
must say no. We ought caimi, and car
didly to lay before them our actual situa'
ton; and when even that conviction will
not arrest the current OF their desires, we
must take refuge 10 that hard, unyielding
but necessary monosyIlahie no. We
must extend the same maxim to ourselves.
ard when variety or envy whisper some
wisi, which We are too poor 10 indulge,
we must learn to subdue these restless
passions by peremptory no.
The softer virtues delight in the use OF
yes. The sterner ones employ an opposite
language. They require au iron fibre
and unshrinking courage, the surest tests OF
determined character. We ought al
ways to yield TO others what virtuous sem
