she has not had an opportunity of rescu-

A wise Italian proverb (Which may
perhaps be quoted back by, way of tn
quoqu0 says that sthere are who despise
pride with greater PRIDE" 1t is very
true that pride may have sat in the tub
with Diogenes, and perched on the pillar
of st. Simon Stylites; in fact, it cannot as
sumo so many DISCUSSES that they must be
proud indeed who rfatter themselves that
they have attained to perfect humility.
In this, as in everything, it is hard to
arrive at a just estimate Of ourselves. As
Persian proverb POLITICALLY expresses it:
"Thou shalt sooner detect an ant moving
in the dark night ION the black
earth than all the motions of PRIDE in thy
heart" -. = cyae7@~''
