The Two Handles.

How beautiful is the reasoning of Epictetus! What Jurisprudence and equity are enveloped in this; “Everything has two handles—one by which it may be borne, another by which it cannot! If your brother acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be borne, but rather by the opposite—that he is your brother, that he was brought np with you, and thus yon will lay bold on it as it Is to be borne."—Schoolmaster.
