see how the possession Of it operates upon
those whose industry or fortune has obtain
ed it. When we find them oppressed with
their own bundance-luxurious without
pleasure-idle without ease-impatient and
querulous in ihenlselves-we shall soon be
convinced that if the real wants of our con-
dilion are satisfied, there remains little to be
sought with solicitude, or desired with ca.
gerness; and more inclined to be content
with the lot in which Providence has placed
US. All that wealth generally gives is more
room for the freaks of caprice, and more
privilege for ignorance and vice. quicker

Of voluptuousness. The conseq of

How TO ESTIMATE MANKIND.-How i'm
portant is the lesson which teaches US no, 10
measure mankind by ideal standards of mo-
rality; for to imagine too fondly that men
are Gods, is to end by believing that they
are demons; the young pass usually through
a period of misan'hropy, and the misanlhro-
Ply is acute in proportion to their own gem
erous confidence in human excellence. We
the least forgive faults in those from whom
we the most expected excellence. But out
of the ashes of misanthropy bencvolence
rises again; we find many virtues where we
had imagined all was vice-many acts of
disinterested friendship where we had fanci-
ed all was calculation and iraud-and so
gradually, from the two extremes, we pass
to the proper medium, and, feeling that no
human being is wholly good or wholly base,
We learn that true knowledge of mankind
which induces us to expect little, and forgive
much. The world cures alike the op,imist
and the msanhrope. Without this proper
and sober estimate of men, we have neither
prudence in the affairs of life, nor federation
for contrary opinions; we tempt the chea.
ter, and then condemn him. We believe so
strongly in one faith, that we would sentence
Dissenters as hereics. 1t is experience
alone that teaches us that he Who is discreet
is seldom betrayed, and that out of the opin-
ions which we condemn, often spring the
actions we admire.
