Power of Example.

The ancient Romans were acc ustomed
TO place the busts OF their distinguished
ancestors in the vesiitults OF Of their hous-
es that they might be continually reminded
ofthsir noble deeds. They supposed that
a recollection OF their iIluslrions virtues
would lead TO the same by all the living
members Of their household There is no
doubt that the influence OF this practice
was most happy upon the living. awaken

ations. AT any rae history records the
names Of many renowned Romans who
