Hudson Lowe, the Governor of the Island.
One OF the generals OF Napoleon's family
was IN a great rage, and alter walking the
floor for few momehis, very passlonately
giving vent TO his feelings, he wished TO re-
turn an immediate and indignant answer.

You are 10 passion now, and that which |
Is done in passion is never well done. =
There are few persons who have attained
such an entire mastery over their own spur

reproof is too often sudden ebuilitIon oil
lIrrilaIed feelings; aud not uuirequen,ly It
IS found that the chld did not deserve the
severity which momentary aud un'hlnkins
rrltab,llty inspired. II should therefore,
be one OF The first principles OF faithful
parent, never 10 IepTole or correct IN a
passion.
It's reported Of Sir Isaac Newton, that
be had attained such equanlmity aud mild
ness of temper, that nothing could Iufhe

braace. SIf Isaac had tavonie little dog
