I think I see place and duties for a nobleman in every society; but it is not to drink wine and ride in a fine coach, but to guide and adorn life for the multi- rude by forethought, by elegant studies, by perseverance, self-devotion, and the remembrance of the humble old friend -- by making his life secretly beautiful. EMERSON.
They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. ISAIAH.
The presence of highly cultivated and vigorous minds is the most powerful aid to popular education. A class of strong thinkers is the palladium of democracy. They are the natural enemies of ostentation and aggressive wealth. The vastest aggregate of average intelligence cannot supply their place. FRANCIS PARKMAN.
