1t is a great folly to sadden. the present,
in looking back upon the past, as though it
had been darkened by no shadow Of cloud.
The sorrows which nature sends us in infan-
cy resemble Spring showers, the traces of
which are eiiaced by passing breeze. The
pains and alarms Of each age have been
chiefly the work of man. The beautiful
age, for a frivolous being, is youth; for the
ambitious, maturity; for the recluse, old age;
for reasonable man, every age. Heaven
has reserved peculiar pleasures for each.
