=Syn. 1. Patience, Fortitude, Endurance, Resignation. 
Patience is by derivation a virtue of suffering, but it is 
also equally an active virtue, as patience in industry, ap- 
plication, teaching. Passively, it is gentle, serene, self- 
possessed, without yielding its ground or repining; ac- 
tively, it adds to so much of this spirit as may be appro- 
priate to the situation a steady, watchful, untiring indus- 
try and faithfulness. Fortitude is the passive kind of 
patience, joined with notable courage. In endurance at- 
tention is directed to the fact of bearing labor, pain, con- 
tumely, etc., without direct implication as to the moral 
qualities required or shown. Resignation implies the vol- 
untary submission of the will to a personal cause of afflic- 
tion or loss ; it is a high word, generally looking up to God 
as the controller of human life. Resignation is thus gen- 
erally a submission or meekness, giving up or resigning 
personal desires to the will of God.

Government nf the Tongue. 
When we transfer the term "cause, " then, from arelation 
between one thing and another within the determined 
world to the relation between that world and the agent 
implied in its existence, we must understand that there 
is no separate particularity in the agent, on the one side, 
and the determined world as a whole, on the other, such 
as characterizes any agent and patient, any cause and ef- 
fect, within the determined world.

patina (pat'i-nii), n. [< L. patina, patena, a

1. A bowl; a patella. 2. (a) An incrustation 
which forms on bronze after a certain amount 
of exposure to the weather, or after burial be- 
neath the ground. It is, when perfectly developed, 
of a dark-green color, and has nearly the composition of 
the mineral malachite (hydrated carbonate of copper). 
Such an incrustation, although very thin, is considered 
to add greatly to the beauty of an antique object, espe- 
cially of a bust or statue, and is of importance as protect- 
ing it from further oxidation. Artificial and evanescent 
patinas are produced by forgers of antiquities by the appli- 
cation of heat or of acids, and in various other ways. Some 
modern bronzes acquire a dark colored patina, which is a 
disfigurement rather than an ornament. Elaborate inves- 
tigation on the part of various chemists has failed to ex- 
plain this ill-colored patina very satisfactorily. It is be- 
lieved, however, that coal-smoke in large cities may be a 
cause of its formation, as under such circumstances it 
contains particles of carbonaceous matter; and, also, that 
the present almost universal practice of putting consider- 
able zinc into the bronze, to facilitate its casting, is one of 
the causes of this defect. The dark color of the patina of 
Japanese bronze has been shown, in a considerable num- 
ber of cases at least, to be in all probability due to the 
presence of lead in the alloy. Also patine. (&) By 
extension, the surface-texture or -color which 
other works of decorative art, as a wooden cabi- 
net or the like, gain through the action of time. 
(c) The surface, produced partly by accretion, 
partly by discoloration and the effects of acid 
in the soil, given to marble by long inhuma- 
tion. 3. [cap.] [NL.] In conch., a genus of
