Their intercourse v. ill be easy, pleasant and virtuous ; and a foundation will be laid for the happiness of succeeding generations if each is bound up within himself, and looks with unfeeling indifference on all around him, or beholds his inferior with contempt, and his superior with envy ; if every meeting is filled with impertinent and angry controversy, and every visit employed in tattling and backbiting ; if neighbor defame neighbor and each watches for advantage against the other ; if an acqaintanco receives you with feigned smiles of pleasure and friendly gu-ctings, but debases your character whan your Lack is turned: if every brother will endeavor to supplant, and t -vi'i-y neighbor will walk in slanders, ona had better flee to the solitary mountain?, and dwell-alone in the earth.
