Al The anniversary Of the Phi Reia KapUa So

"sral'on OF the practical benefits of literature.
Much has been said of the happy and vir-
Vols ignorance of Sparta. 1t has been pre-
ended on the faith of certain apothegms,
mat she surpassed the rest of Greece in all the

praise IS bestowed, it seems to he forgotten
wv, ., she was the first to have recourse 10 the
iv>'anS the natural enemies of Greece, TO

~ 'lr as regards even national power, Spar
~l al'terty met no better fate than Athenian
''laemenl---both were equally swallowed up

attribute materially to promote the hapPl-

sso>i5tv. ltmay be defined an ardent tenn

hope and success, can sympathize in the aftilc-

In, shoud not be considered a natural endow
gcnt. we dare not presume to assert; hut that
iuI;cious culture can exert a iertilizlng IN
irence on our sterility in this respect. no one
will pretend to deny. Its effects are every
where visible, in the various relations OF So
,elv. What spectacle can be more credlta-
be 10 humanity, than benevolence minister
NC to the necessities Of some INDECENT, help
.e,s family, and rescung from the grasp of
death his emaciated, furnished victim? But,
independent of this, there is another conside-
ration, which should be sufficient in itself to
induce the cultivation of sensbility. With
out this feeling as its basis, there can exist no
genuine, dlsntereSted friendship. That COM
munity oil sentiment, that congeniality of dis
position, which imparts such delight 10 all
who participate, must either be abandoned or
the sacred name of friendship so far degene-
rate as to be denominated voluntary assocla-
ton for the promotion Of mutual interest,"
No effort is required to view with calm indlf-
terence the miSfortuneS of othcrs-it is the
common frllty OF mortali'p. But how can we
appreciate their worth and their necessities-
how testify it by acts Of liberality and bene-
hcence, unless actuated by an elevation of soul
that dlgui6es and CnnObles human nature?--
