life ofreciprocity: The road Of fdutyis long;
rough. and bounded by no horizon butdeath;
which is, perhaps. only. the repose Of q single
night. Let US march onward thsB boldly,
and without sparing our feet Bot If, by
rare and happy chance, which may render
repose and solitude blameless, some green

and possesses nh longer the; power of loving;
in the other, their devoiedness, knawipg no
