Some Oriental PHILOSOPHY.

a Snd year cannot prove the cause
OF dearth to him whose stores Of grain
are large. An age Of corruption can.
not confound him whose equipment
Of virtue is complete.
Where there Is n musk, there will,
Of course. be perfume; it will not be
necessary to stand i'll the wind. Tai
ent and worth will manifest them
selves without resorting to trickery.
There is nothing more visible than
what is secret, and nothing more
manifest than what is minute: there
fore, the superior man is watched
over himself when he is alone.
IL Il man love others and no respon-
sive attachment is shown to him, let
him turn inward and examine his own
b~enevolence. IL he is trying to rule
others and his government is unsuc-
c~essful, let hun turn inward and ex-
anime his wisdom. II he treats 9th.
ers politely and they do not return
his politeness, let him turn inward
and examine his W feeling OF re-
spect.
Although Il sword be sharp, with
out the frequent use OF the grindstone
it will not cut; though "a mans nat
ural abilities be excellent, without
learning he will not rise high. The
spirits may be good and the viands
admirable, but until you taste them
you do not know their flavor: priuci-
pies may be good, but until you learn
them you do not know their value.
Hence it is by learning that Il man
knows his deficiencies
Men are partial where they feel az
lection and love; partial where they
despise and dislike; partial where
they stand in awe and reverence; par
tial where they feel sorrow and com.
passion; partial where they are AFRO
CANT and rude. Thus it is that there
are few men in the world who love
and at the same time know the bad
qualities of the object Of their love,
or who hate and yet know the excel
lencies OF the object of their hatred.
