These Balance Men.

I profess no special partiality for any critic, who, bolding balance in hand, weighs eagerly whatsoever of learning comes to his counter. I question whether he is not taking less of the quality of the wares than of the fashion of his scales, never questioning their accuracy nor his own levity. Still it must be admitted that these balance men are not withoilt their usefulness, being convenient for appraising market values. —A. Bronson Alcott.
