Melancholy but True.—Our ancestors hid • very
inartificial way of obeying the eleventh coratnand-
I malt. IJhey endowed universities, colleges, and
luoded alms-houses and hospitals, and the

of a curious old book, and acted ac-
They did not consider avarice a gentle-
I The laying together of field to field—oi
house to hVu8e, on the pretext tf providing for proge
ny was nojin their estimation a virtue; they did not
believe thnijieW^Mcuaed from the dutieB which
man owes pMjjjwcause of the existence of a large
family, aq/ii tl^JPcould not bequeatK riches they be-
queathed good' name, and the blessings of those
who \ven ready to perish; they had not found out the
method r being benevolent by deputy, so success-
fully premised by their wiser decendants; they had
neither fhcy airs nor musical festivals; they did do:
swindle fie professional singer or actor out of his or
herpropr remuneration for work done to gratify
their prbensities, under charitable pretence! No,
the vulur ignoramuses were contented, if.,they had
a tasteV music or the drama to pay the professors
for graiying that taste, and if tbey felt charily to be
a dutyjhey exercised it in silence and secrecy at
their pbper expense, instead of attacking the pockets
of the}neighbors. But cant íb the order of the day!
Cant «yti give nothing, so that nothing maybe ex-
pected relieve not the beggar or if hungry he will
>qertaiiy beg again! Make the work liouje a place

and so cant- and selfishness ride rampart through
