The only questions are what alloy and how much? I shall try to answer the question as to kind aud leave to individual discretion the question as to quantity. A great actor once said that all men have vanity, but some conceal it more successfully than others. If vanity be a universal trait, tve may take it as that alloy which is necessary to our active and circulating usefulness. It is decried by all moralists, preached against in all pulpits, aud everywhere believed to be as undesirable as it is universal. Nevertheless, in youth at least, a certain degree of it may be necessary. Vanity is like the kindly cloud which shelters us from the all piercing and too brilliant sun of truth, for it may be doubted whether any of us can bear the truth unveiled. The melanoholy Dane who had revealed to him unqualified truth, both as regards this life and the next, was not by that revelation incited to action. Hamlet found the truth withering, not stimulating; it paralyzed rather than nerved. And it may be so with all truth. Most of us are ordinary people, but happily most of us do not find this out, at least not in our first youth.—Lippincott’s.
