Fetmnality ■ is gonc; natarc is transfbrmed; whatever mak es the male character most rough nnd turbulent, is '. takeu up by a being who was designed lo quiliz'; and smooth it. But may there not be occasions where wisdom and wortli in worrien. as in nien. are caücd upon to assert tliemselves with a r'ignity that will presa the forward and over-awc the insolent? - Certainly. and to give such proceedings the name j of pride. were unjust.
