hound by i|j to resist minor offences. These

of this city, which has held out rather longer
than the other banks, has, at the earnest solici

the owners of this Bank were toehold on a

would have drained them of their specie, the
other Banks having suspended. But by sus

Folly of Pride.* •
Take rime quiet, sober moment of Jifc,uM
add together the two ideas of pride and man ;
behold big the creature of a span,
through the infinitc o space in all the grandeur
of Jitileqtgs. Perched on*a ?peek of the gin
verse* every wind of heaven strikes into his
blood “the coldness of deatli ; liis soul O floats
from his body like°melody From the string; day
ajtd night, as flust on the wheel, he is rolled
along: tlie heavens, through a labyrinth of worlds
ayd all the •regions of ylod are flatning above
and beneath. Is this a creature to make f?r
himself a fef glory, to deny his own
flesh, to mock at his fellow sprumf from that
dust to which both soon return # ? Does not the
, jirou?! man eny? Does? he not suffer? Does
. Ik? not die? AYhen he reasons, is he never,
stopped by difficulties ? \\ hen he acts, is lie
never tempted by pleasure ? oA\ hen he dies,
can he cscyipe the common grave? Pride is
not the heritage of man ; humility should dwell
with frailty, and atone for ignorance, error and
imperfection. o
