In this day the tendency of society is not
ior the PRONUNCIATION Of q circle which
leads TO the higher and impassioned walks
of life; which is consecrated to the aim of
virtue, truth and uprightness. but to "vau-
ity of vanitIes." The outward adjoining,
the costly insignia of money, the
enthusiasm of applause, the crowded hall,
the sumptuous banquet and the midnight
revel, are all part of it, aye, the greater
Fart, and the pleasures of the senses, are
given such an ascendency that the sweet,
true friendship, the communion of heart
with heart, ls lost sight of, or 1T
least only remembered because of its an
tiquity. And yet, after all, what happiness
do the worshippers of the imperial purple
purchase? The day must come when the
tree il reft of lis blossoms when the gale
has broken the foil age and strewn it upon
the ground when the arts which admins
tered TO luxury are as the vision of night;
when the gayety, the wine, the elixir, will
be as the illusion of dream. Better the
social circle, made up of pure purposes,
rational expenditures, and the appreciation
of earnest, helpful spirits, than the glow
and the glitter, the evanescent whirlpool
of that society which takes for its motto
the rivalry of display, and by it max es
common cause with fraud, with deceit,
with stimulation, hypocrisy and the COM
merce of ignoble strife which disgraces the
age.
