ROM the repect paid to property flow, as from a poioned fountain, mot of the evils and vices which render this world uch a dreary cene to the contemplative mind. For it is in the mot polihed ociety that noiome reptiles and venomous erpents lurk under the rank herbage; and there is voluptuounes pampered by the till ultry air, which relaxes every good dipoition before it ripens into virtue.

One clas prees on another; for all are aiming to procure repect on account of their property: and property, once gained, will procure the repect due only to talents and virtue. Men neglect the duties incumbent on man, yet are treated like demi-gods; religion is alo eparated from morality by a ceremonial veil, yet men wonder that the world is almot, literally peaking, a den of harpers or oppreors.

There is a homely proverb, which peaks a hrewd truth, that whoever the devil finds idle he will employ. And what but habitual idlenes can hereditary wealth and titles produce? For man is o contituted that he can only attain a proper ue of his faculties by exerciing them, and will not exercie them unles neceity, of ome kind, firt et the wheels in motion. tue&ensp;
