ABOUT FOOLS.

Fools are not a pleasant study on their
cwn merits. except as fer rs they make
us feel better, in not being like them
But they are interesting, as folly runs
in the human family. and conc ems every
body like original sin.
II the middle ages the great barons
had their fools and testers. as part of
their households. as fixed charges,
Whether this was for the sake of amuse-
ment and philosophy. or as sort of
background to tighten the effect Of their
own folly and nonsense is question.
A bigger fool than ourselves. ready to
refer 10. is an undeniable luxury. Per-
haps. however, these domestic officers
may have been designed to do the duty
OF the skeleton at the feasts OF the
Egyptians. a memento mort, 10 remind
them what they might be. We know
what we are; We know not what we
may be.
The great King Solomon hated fools.
and said a great many very hard things
about them; and yet the Lesson OF his
life is wonder and amazement that so
wise and bookish a man. as he was, should
have made such fool Of himself at last.
