Don't let him lie around, licensed and legal, to pounce upon our youth. If we tarry here much longer, it will be in the fashion that the bees lie around the straw after the hive has been smoked for its honey. But, as thoughts are frozen and utterance benumbed, unless the speaker stand in some true relation with his audience, it may be pardonable to imagine that a friend, a kind and apprehensive, though not the closest friend, is listening to our talk; and then, a native reserve being thawed by this genial consciousness, we may prate of the circumstances that lie around us, and even of ourself, but still keep the inmost Me behind its veil. |
