People are fond of talking about til,
extravagances of genius, the exaggera
tions of the imagination, and whe,
they meet with something very extrava
CANT and exaggerated, they regard thi

was SO violent and uncomfortable, i
quite ran away with him. One nigh

i The Preiudiced Man is like a ma,
walking on a narrow path With hi
eyes downward, and will not raise then
even to behold the grandest scener,
which appears on either hand. Or, lik'

doors locked, the windows fastened
and the blinds down; without candl
or q lamp to light his dismal condition
dark, and in the dark, without mucl
hope of seeing things differently; We

that he is right, and all who differ from
him necessarily wrong. He is afraid O
opening his eyes, for fear that he will
see something to disconcert and roll
him of his present condition of com
placent satisfaction. Blindness is til,
safety and happiness of prejudice, Al
we'll as its sure universal result.-I
