AGITATION

By Editor

A brother sends us the following for the REVIEW. We think it appeared in our columns not many volumes since; but it is worthy not only of frequent republication, but even of a committal to memory.
“Learn from the earliest days to inure your principles against the peril of ridicule; you can no more exercise your reason if you live in the constant dread of laughter, than you can enjoy your life if you are in constant terror of death. If you think it right to differ from the times, and to make a point of morals, do it, however rustic, however antiquated, however pedantic it may appear; do it not for insolence, but seriously and grandly as a man who wore a soul of his own in his bosom, and did not wait till it was breathed into him by the breath of fashion.”
From the American Baptist.
