so easy to think another's thought
that we shun the labor Of thinking our
own. So do we lessen the worlds pop
ulation by one, standing forever in va
Gated shoes. Some one admire counts
for one: why should not l? Alarm.
ingly near the sublime Is the ridiculous,
but better to count a failure than to
make no effort. Is it not to fall short
when one is only known to his neigh
Dor as their neighbor?

Of briers and rank weeds, and it ac-
