Genius is not a single power, but a
combination of great powers. 1t reasons,
but it is snot Ireasonings; itjudges, but is
not Judgment it imagines, but is not
imagination; it feels deeply and fierCely,
butit is not passion 1t is neither, be-
cause it is ALL Whipple L
Good nature is more agreeable in con-
versation than wit, and gives certain
air to the countenance which is more
amiable than beauty. Itshows virtue in
itgfaifest light, takes off in some meas
ure from the deformity of vice, and makes
even folly and impertinence supporta.

There are persons of that general phi
lanthropy and easy tempers, which the
world, in contempt, generally calls good
natured, who seem to be sent into the
world with the same design with which
men put little fish into a pike-pond, in
orderto be devopred by that v9racious

It'passes in the world for greatness Of

gyricand invective that worn-out sin
Iier is sometimes found to make the best

new province of a moralist, will serve

: It is wrong to believe that frank senti-
ments and the candor of the mind are
the exclusive share Of the young; they
arethe ornament, oftentimes, of old age,
upon which they seem to spread Chaste
reflection of the modest graCes Of their
younger days, where they shine with the
same brightness as those flowers which
are seen peeping, fresh and laughing,
from among ruins-POincetot.
The reputation of generosity is pur-
chased very cheap; it does not depend so
much upon mans general expense as
it does upon his giving handsomely
where it is proper to give at all. A man,
for instance, who should give servant
four shillings would pass for covetous; so
that the difference of those two opposite
characters turns upon one shilling

A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent,
a kind eye makes contraction ass mt, an
enraged eye makes beauty deformed.
This little member gives life to every
other part about us, and | believe the
story Of argus implies no more than that
the eye is in every part; that is to say,
every other part would be multiplied
were not its force represented mare by
the eye than even by itself-AddiSon.
The character of a gentleman is a rela-
tive term, which can hardly subsist
where there is no marked distinction of
persons. The diffusion OF knowledge, of
artificial and intellectual quality, tends
to level this distinction, and to confound
that nice perception and high sense of
honor which arises from conspicuousness
Of situation and perpetual attention to
personal propriety and the claims to per-
sonal respect.-HazHH.
By peculiar )prerogatiye, not only
. each individual is making daily ad-
vances in sciences, and may make ad-
vance in morality which is the science,
by way of eminenCe, of living well and
living happy but all mankind together
are making a continual progress in pro-
portion as the universe grows older; so
that the whole human race, during a
course of many ages, may be considered
as. s.oneman, who never ceases to live and
learn.-PdSCGt.
The minister should preach as if he
felt that although the congregation own
the church, and have bought the pews,
they have not bought him. His soul is
worth no more than any other mans, but
tits all he has, and he cannot be expect
ed to sellitlfor a salary. The terms are
by no means equal. If a parishioner
does not like the preaching, he can 60
elsewhere and get another pew, but the
preacher cannot get another SOUL

Such as are in immediate fear of losing
their estates, of Punishment, or of slave
ry, live in perpetual anguish, and lose all
appetite and repose; whereas, such as
are actually poor, slaves and exiles, often
times live as merrily as men in a better
condition3 and So manypeople who, i'm
patient Of the perpetual alarmsyof fear,
have hanged and Idfow1ed themselves,
give us sufficiently to understand that it
is more importune and insupportable
than death itselfAoataigne. u

Man falls upon everything that comes in
his way; not the smallest, fruit or ex-
crescence of the earth, scarce a. berry or

1t has been observed that we should,
treat futurity as an aged friend from
whom we expectta rich legacy. Let us
do nothing to forfeit his esteem, and treat
him with respect not with severity. b But
let us not be too prodigal when we are
young, nor too parslmonious when we
arelold;T otherwise, we shall fall into the
common error Of those who, when they
had,the power to enjoy, had not the pru-
dence to acquire, and when they, had the
prudence to acquire had no longer the
power to eniOy.ACOlt0n b y 4 B.
