principles, and bid defiance to misfortune

invest every town and hamlet, make your
disgrace the burthen of their song, heed

zing of many insects. Carry yourself
erect, and by the serenity of your counte-

Why be afraid of any man? Why tremble
and cover in the presence Of the rich?-
Why crook the plant hinges of the knee,
that thrift may follow fawning? No,
friend, fear them not! Build up your char
acter with holy principles, and if your path
be not strewn with flowers, let it be beauti-
full with the light of divine life, and you

which will be an aid to the world pc
