A SOUND ADVICE.
It is certainly a great disparagement to virtue, and learning itself, that those very-things which only make men useful in the world, should incline them to leave it. This ought never to be allowed to. good men, unless the bad had the same moderation, and were willing to follow them into the wilderness. But if one shall contend to .get out of employment while the other strives to get into it, the affairs of mankind are likclv to be in so ill a posture, that even the good men themselves will hardly be able to enjoy their very retreat in security.— L\fe qf Cowley.
