There are few powers of mind so neces.
sary to discover truth as that of su spend.
lug the judgment. All scientists mus,
exercise it, or their work is yalueless.
We demand It in the court room and the
jury box, and usually insist upon II
when any serious charge IL brought
against mans character. But in ordi.
nary daily life It is not so. The most
crude and improved statements are put
forth without any apparent sense OF in
justice. We hear that such a one ia
gloomy and discontinued, and another
frivolous and vain; that one man is sup-
posed to be tricky in business, and
another supposed to neglect his family;
that one woman is extravagant and
tickle, and another selfish and inhospita
BILE. Daily and hourly are regulations
thus stained and good names furnished,
always needlessly, and often unjustly.
However such impressions may have
been gained, II they were dealt with as
the astronomer would deal with bis, il
they were subjected to careful and pa
tlent investigation before they were pro-
claimed, many OF them would remain
unspoken, aud much injury aud sorrow
be prevented.
