T. . XIII. THB LAW or LABOR.
The law of labor is the foundation of a
law, as it is properly the source of all pr<
gerty. The .breadsthat ia earned by tl
ewsat" of"o?o'? brow is righteously one
?Tr i. The industry, which creates, or a
QU&iukites the possession, is the Icasfc qm.
, tionable source of right; and it is wonde
.fill to-observe bow industry, properly pu
. sued, aud iu the exercise of the just, n
taral powers of the individual, improves
all respects tho mora!-how observatio
thought, judgment, all result from carne
devotion to one's peculiar business. V

FinallyyThought becomes habitual, so that
.vhellier we walk or ride, rest or more, it
will come to us like aa always prompt and
faithful page, calling up memory, taxing
experience, co na pelling observation, and
filling the mind, ss ins storehouse, with
well considered, loading ideas, which
leave us at no loss on any subject,
xiv. XABaiaos SECRETS .
The Romans designated false keys, along
with 'drunkenness and adultery, a* a suffi?
cient cause of divorce. This sorely speaks
for a-lower degree* of delicacy and virtue
in the marriage stat? of Rome, in the days
of Plutarch, than anywhere exists among
the moderns; since the existence of the law
implies the frequency of the offence. A
secret of either, of the parties, io the mar?
Hage state, should, indeed, as a matter of
mutual policy, be among the most sacred
of all kinds of secrets. This is essential
to thc confidence which every day requires
that new secreta should be yielded to their
mutual keepings ;
XV. CEN8TJRK,
The vulgar mind fancies that judgment
is implied chiefly in the oapaoity to cen?
sure; and yet there is no judgment so ex?
quisite as that which knows properly bow
to approve.
XVI. MOTIVE? OF OKKBGRK.
We as frequently censure through evil
passions, through envy, prejudice, and pre?
sumption, aa because of any undesert in
the sabject. Vanity is so constantly so?
licitous of self, that, even where ita own
claims are not interested, it indirectly seeks
he aliment which it loves, by showing
how little is deserved by others..
XVII. CRITICISM.
Neither praise nor blame is the objecto!
true criticism. Justly to discriminate,
(irmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and
honestly to award -these are the true aims
ind duties of criticism.
. XVIir. HOW TO PLACE MEN'.
Wheo, in our government phrase, wc
declare all men to bo equal, nothing more
is meant than that all have an equal claim
on the protection of government-thc great
object for which government is conceived
nt all. To do justice in society to all per?
sons, is not to elevate our friends, Smith
Jones, and Jenkins, to the throne of th<
Cicsars, or to the Presidency of the States
but to eheck the Caesars and the President;
rom thrusting Smith, Jones, and Jenkin:
roar the security of the work-bench. A
proper justice among men requires that w<
dtould properly individualize their preten
sions. The man who can work in marbi?
better than anybody eis?, must bo madt
--ctture in the occupation in which he is s<
auwcessiul. It would boa great wrong t<
him, even if his own vanity, should hnv<
such cravings, to allow that he shouh
leard-hb quarry for tho forum-incurr?n<
?be ?&j^ of transforming a good etone-cutte
mt? a bad orator. Equally great were tit

wrong to the individual, as well as to so?
ciety, if we were to suffer the mau who
wrought wonderfully with mallet aad
chisel, to write villainously with a goose
quilt. The only correct idea of social li?
berty is, that each person" should be suf?
fered to occupy his. proper place, according
to his natural capacities.
XIX. FREEDOM, SLAVERY/, TYBAXKV.
Ile is a freeman,-whose social co ul lion
is tn no respect inferior to the claim ? of Iii*?'
morals and his intellect. He is no slave, no.
matter wbat his ccrndition, when that con*
dition continues to improve in intellectual
and moral -respects. - He. alone, is the
slave, who is denied the position which is
essential to the exercise of bia proper facul?
ties, and the fit development of bis natural
powers. He cannot But be a tyrant, whom
society has lifted int? a condition superior
to his capabilities. s.
