In due degree with our years, we look forward or backward, upward or around. To the old, the heights most precious are those upon which the sunshine rests, the mellow lights of evening, gleaming faintly upon the moun- tain tops behind : to the young, they are those of morning, shining gaily upon the purple summits that stretch away before. Neither is satisfied with the eminences gained, the one at the cost of a life, the other of a hope, and both at the peril of equal life and hope. GOOD AND EV...IL GENII. The Indians fable, that there is always one hour in the twenty-four when the good genius of a man Egeria. 213 deserts him, being compelled in that time to fly to Heaven for instructions. In that hour, should his evil genius happen to find it out, he can ruin him with all imaginable ease. It is the misfortune of some men, that-the good genius deserts them most of the time, and it is the evil principle that only- leaves them for an hour. This brief space of time affords the better genius but little opportunity.
