furtherng the cause of humanity by Cutting him
self with the blood of his fellow men. We cannot
too deeply impress our minds with the value of vr-
tue, too carefully mould our medations into the
shape of truth. Earth abounds with fascinating
temptations which surround the adventurer to daz-
zle his vision with false glares and betray his atten
ton with cheating sounds The ambient pleasures
will sometimes prove too strong for the eagle-eyed
resolution to resist, and fate often sleeps when the
battle is nigh Unless trained by long discipline in
to the practice Of honour he may not follow the best
inclinatons to guide them. The howery wreaths
Of vice Supply his best senses with their fragrance,
and u his conscience into fatal repose, till the
deluded mind is entangled in her hundred thousand
folds, and the whole man sinks horrd victim to ir-
retrievable ruin Then too late he sees his error;
then the chains which seemed at first but garlands
of flowers, are metamorphosed into serpents, whose
breath is rank poison and whose touch is destruc-
ton. Vainlv he struggles in their nauseous embrace
-seizes their slippery forms in his useless grasp,
or attempts to control their bowy motions, and
trample them beneath his shrinking feet Alas
the creeping folds have encrcled his body and I'M
prisoned every limb grasping he is enveloped in
their countless tolls, and yields, conquered and
shuddering, to torrents horrible as hell The
course of vice is steep descent, and pass with
accelerated velocity down its dreadful abyss-a false
| step, needless turn, may plunge US into the
lions den, and the Spirit Of God dwells not with
the abandoned one, to pg-fy their rugged natures
or soften down their ire.
Let us, on the other hand, observe the noblest
| work Of God-an honest man. 1t is the constitution
| Of humanity to endure every sorrow which is not
the result of sin, and the good turns shielded
breast to the ills of lie, which rattle like harmless
hailstones on an armed knight. Virtue to the mind
is more imperishable protection, than Spanish
steel to the body, and he who has equipped HIM
selfin her sacred suit walks gigantic and immortal
amid the loudest din and fercest dangers Of tumul-
tuous war. The greatest monarch, who has gained
his magnfcence by the sacrifice of honor, has no
dignity to compare to this; and Lafayette in his
plain blue coat, surrounded by the entertainments
which virtue has beloved, is an object comparably
of more interest and admiration, than the sultan
half buried in the treasures of the east Many weak
minded mortals at the onset of their career, vanly
suppose it possible to trfe with the pleasures Of
vice, and afterwards erect themselves in the strict
practice of all that is just, honorable, and good
| They would amuse their tastes by slipping forbidden
sweets, being careful not to drain the poisonous
bowl to the bottom, and fondly imagine they possess
resolution in which daily experience proves thelrfei
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-09-03

low mortals SO miserably defcent-to allow few
merry gambols on the brink Of the precipice with
out the risk of being betrayed into the abyss.
ry few, by the peculiar blessing of fortune, may re-
gain their equilibrium, and re-establsh themselves
in the road to happiness but many, and by far the
majority, find their veins swelling with incurabe
raady, when they believed the venomous goblet
had only touched their lip or dizzy and bewilde1-
ed by the witcheries around them, lose their hold
and are hurled into the gaping chasln, when they
only intended glance over the edge.
An honest man is rarely to be found. There is
no lack Of those sort of beings who abound in the
negative virtues, who delight in religion, and de-
test the devil who go to church three times on the
Sabbath and never demosh meal without good
long-wnded grace. The excellence of these con-
sists in declarations of what feats they might have
accomplished, if circumstances had not prevented,
and how noble they would be-if they could. They
grow up like brutes, deficient in the cultivated pas
sons Of civilized soclety-exhibtng their stated
periods Of youth maturity and decay-remote alike
from the virtues and the vices, the rewards and the
penalties the delicate pleasures and refined pains
of active existence; and after having undergone the
varieties Of animal life, at last quietly repose them
selves in their narrow bed-like small pebbles for a
moment disturbing the peaceful tranquility Of the
water with their fall, silently they bury their
and their natures in oblivion deep as though
they had never been. These compose one Of three
classes of the human kind. The other two consist
of active beings, whose loud voices heard, and
whose figures are seen and remembered Oh the
great stage of the world, conspicuous the bene-
factors or enemies, the glory ahame, OF therrac
Augustus is one of the former. In him are combin-
ed at once enthusiastic admiration of honesty, with
will and power to practice it, Virtue consists
y more in acting, than in resisting The impulse Of
a moment may urge young, warm disposition into
some glorious undertaking, but it requires firm
sonng, philosophical morality, the most difficult to
attain, to defy temptations rock defes the
which are forever beating at its base and forever in
vain This great characteristic distinguishes Au-
gustus from the rest Of men. He pursues his varied
path, with an unwavering moral courage, which,
without the foppery of unnecessary display, is faith
full in the hour Of danger, and rises in ratio to the
tumults in which he is engaged Strengthening him
in proportion to the oppressive weight, it sheds
glory around his way, when overloaded with the
eloomes shade, and when he is brought to the test,
when Vice stands on one side, arrayed in her robes
of gaiety with her long train of false phanoms to
urge her requests, and offering gold, and glory
and all the earth afford, for smile of his lip, or
