If complaint be useless, why complain ? Reason teaches better. " " Will reason teach me how to avoid continued ca- lamity, father ; if not, what can it teach that I would learn ?" "It will teach you to endure calamity to meet it as a man should, calmly, fearlessly, proudly ; yet more, if you can look back with conscious rectitude, and feel that you have not deserved the evil that has fallen upon you. You regret that you should be the prey of the base and the designing ; do you regret that the l...ion knows not the wiles of the serpent? that the lofty spirit, whose upward path is in the full blaze of the sun's broad eye, should sometimes be baf- fled by arts of meanness and guilt ?

You would tear away the limits which heaven lias placed 259 to the march of the mind.
