a better world. Observe hi in who has yet
encountered few or none of the adversities of
the world, and you will discover in him the
Jftkleness and instability of childhood ; you
'will find his principles unregulated by any

be subject to agitation and disaster. As a

does the mind; but when its thoughts mean

that the seliishuess of our nature wouhl be a
