N«34^ Spirit alone is too powerful for ufe. It will pi^o- duce madnefs rather than merriment ) and, infte^ of quenching thirft, will inflame the blood. Thus wit, too copioufly poured out, agitates the hearer with emo- tions rather violent than pleafing j every one (brinks from the force of its opprelfion, the company fits entranced and overpowered; all are aftoniflied, but nobody is pleafed. The acid juices give this genial liquor all its power of ftimulating the palate. Converfation would be- ...come dull and vapid, if negligence were not fome- times roufed, and fluggifenefs quickened, by due feverity of reprehenfion. But acids unmixed will dif- tort the face and torture the palate ; and he that has no other qualities than penetration and afperity, he whofe conflant employment is deteftion and cenftire, who looks only to find faults, and fpeaks only to punilh them, will foon be dreaded, hated, and avoided. The tafte of fugar is generally pleafing, but it xsannot long be eaten by itfelf.
