A Candid Mind.

. There is nothing sheds so fine light
upon the human mind as candor Ii was
called ,OhitcnesS by the ancients, for its
purify and beauty; and it has always had
the esteem due 10 the most admirable of
the virtues. However little sought for or
practiced, all do il the homage of their
praise, and all feel the power and charm
of It's influences. The man whose opin-
ions make the deepest mark upon his fel-
lows; whose influence is most lasting
and efficient; whose friendship is instinc-
lively sought, where all others have
proved faithless, is not the man of brill
liant parts, or lattering tongue, or splen-
did genius, or commanding power; but
he whose lucid capdor aud ingenious
truth transmit the hearts real feelings
pure ard without relraction. There are
other qualities which are more snowy,
and other traits thai have higher place
in The werld's code Of honor, but none
wear better or gather less tarnish by use,
or claim a deeper homage in that silent
reverence which the mind must pay to
vir.ae. As it is the most beautiful, so it
is the safest of moral qualities. None
fall into so few mistakes none darken
and deform themselves with so little false
hood and wrong-none so free from the
pain of doing wrong, as those who walk
amid the pitfalls and miasms, passions
and errors, of our tainted life, clothed
habitually with candor. The rare and
comely union of prudence and of princi
ple. of fif,nness and forbearance, of truth
and zeal, OF earnestness Of feeling, and
discrimination OF view, is to be found
only in minds pervaded and enlarged by
candor, TO love, and to seek in all things
the truth-to choose before ali the solici'
tations Of passion, or the power Of pre-
judice, or the force of public opinion, or
the claims of interest or power, whatever
is right or true to believe al every juno.
ture Of experience or thought, that moth
ing is SO good or desirable, or trustworthy
as truth; to scent the truth amid all the
unpopular disguises which too often dis
figure it in this world-this must be safes
and best, whatever we may think of it.
If God really rOigns, and there be an eter
nal distinction between Truth and False
hood, Right ard Wrong. In nothing
have men so vital an interest as in truth
Nothing should we so earnestly strive tC
get, or hold fast to when Obtained. buy
the truth, and sell it not,'-Green Leaves
