WISE SAYINGS.
Justice is the great bat simple principle, and the whole secret of success, in all government—as absolutely essential to the training of an infant as to the control of a mighty nation. Some have wondered that disputes about opinions should so often end in personalities; but the. fact is, that' such disputes begin with personalities, for our opinions are a part of ourselves. Weakness, of whatever nature, has ever a hankering after power; and there is no weakness which results in greater mortifications than that which is bred of egotism. It is a strange thing to behold what gross errors and extreme absurdities men do commit for want of a friend to tell them of them. The.light,of a good counsel is that which, setteth business straight. •
