True Greatness.


Let US thank Heaven, too, that there arc

besides mineral deposits and Agricultural

Potosi, though every valley, like that of the
Nile, were rank with fatness, yet might q
nation be poor in the most desperate sense;
benighted in the darkness Of bar barism, the
udgment-stricken of Heaven for its sins.

domain in which the soul can expand and

nor doomed TO obscurity and powerlessness
because its numbers are few. Athens was
small; yet, low as were her moral aims
she lighted up the whole earth as amp

her prophets and teachers were, and will
continue to be, the guides of the world.
The narrow strip Of halfcuItivable land,
that lies between her eastern and western
boundaries, is not Massachusetts; but her
noble and incompatible men, her pure and
exalted women, the children in all her
schools. whose daily lessons are the pre-.

THESE ARE THE STATE.-Horace Mann.
