Whoever understands his own interests,
and is pleased with the beautiful rather than
the deformed, will be careful to cherish the
virtue of genteness. Itrequires but slight
knowledge of human nature to convince US,
that much Of our happisess in life must de-
pend upon the cultivation Of this virtue
Gentleness will assist its possessor in all his
lawful undertakings; it will often make him
successful when nothing else could; it is
exceedingly lovely and attractive in its ap-
pearance; it wins the hearts Of all; it is even
stronger than argument, and often prevails
when that would be powerless and ineffec-
tual; it shows that man can put bride
upon his passions; that he is above the ig-
noble vulgar, whose characteristic is to
storm and rage like the troubled ocean, at
every little adversely and disappointment
that crosses their path;,i shows that he can
soar away in the bright atmosphere Of good
feeling, and live continual sunshine, when
all around him are like maniacs, the sport
Of their own passions.
