READING MEMORANDUMS. 

 Continued from page So. 



Although I despise that proud race oimortals, who, 

 by birth and fortune, think themselves beings pri- 

 vileged beyond the rest of their species, because 

 they are exalted a little higher — God formed them 

 of the same clay, their alhes will not be distin- 

 guiilied in the bowels of the earth, nor wUl the 



worms pay any respect to their bodies Yet those 



truths will not persuade any one to descend from 

 the ladder on which he is mounted ; and therefore I 

 go with the stream, and bow my head to him whom 

 chance has placed above me. 



I am not superstitiously credulous ; yet I think 

 that nature sometimes designs to give us a secret 

 presentiment of approaching misfortunes. — We have 

 ominous imprefsions of future hopes and fears.

may net always be pleasing ^For if you acquire 



new friends, you will not find them exempt from 

 follies and imperfections.
