Our several parts have been assigned to us, and it should be our desire to act them well, that we may find favor both in the sight of God and man. Let no one imagine that he faithfully executes his trust by hiding in a hedge the talent confided to him ; it will not be the talent alone that he will be called to render an account of, but the use 6 he may have made of it. Let him not think that he will be held guiltless, whose narrow, contracted soul will not allow him to plant without a certainty... of fruition, or whose sordid heart shrinks at the possibility that another may enjoy the fruits of his labour. — I once heard a sentiment from the lips of an aged and unletter- ed farmer, which for its nobleness and beauty I thought it meet to use the language of Shakespeare, " that it should be written down in the tablets of my memory." He was engaged in plant- ing out young fruit trees, when some one observed to him ; " you are giving yourself very unnecessary trouble, you cannot live to eat the fruit of those trees, and after your death your orchard may be sold and go into the hands of strangers." " That is true," rephed the old man, " but some one will eat of the fruit of these trees, and perhaps may bless the man ivho planted them." Such sentiments tend to awaken the noblest motives to human actions ; they give rise to a pure and disinterested benevolence, which more than any other characteristic, serves to elevate the race of man to its highest dignity, placing it only a little below the angels.
