Well, then, there are Bolingbroke and Pitt, YOUTH-Season of.
both ministers before other men leave cricket.
Grotius was in great practice at seventeen,
and attorney-general at twenty-four. And
Acquaviva Acquaviva was general of the
Jesuits, ruled every cabinet in Europe, and
colonized America, before he was thirty-seven.
What a career! It is needless to multiply
instances. The history of heroes is the history
of youth.

Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality; and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free. Carlyle. YOUTH-Thoughtfulness of.

YOUTH-Intemperance of.
Wine and youth are fire upon fire.

D'Israeli.

Fielding. Intemperate youth, by sad experience found, Ends in an age imperfect and unsound.

YOUTH-Joyfulness of.

Oh! the joy

Denham.

Of young ideas painted on the mind,
In the warm glowing colours fancy spreads
On objects not yet known, when all is new,
And all is lovely!
Hannah More.

The moments when we gather from a glance
More joy than from all future pride or praise,
Which kindle manhood, but can ne'er entrance
The heart in an existence of its own,

Youth will never live to age, without they keep themselves in breath with exercise, and in heart with joyfulness. Too much thinking doth consume the spirits; and oft it falls out, that while one thinks too much of doing, he leaves to do the effect of his thinking. Sir Philip Sidney. YOUTH-Truthfulness of.

ZEAL-without Knowledge.

Steele.

Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark. John Newton.

There is no quality of the mind, by which men, even good men, are more apt to be misled than zeal; particularly zeal in religion, "zeal of God," as St. Paul terms it. Where the object is good, the quality is of high value; "it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing;" and beyond controversy, no object can be better than the promotion of God's glory, and the furtherance of His religion. But it ought not to carry us beyond the bounds of moderation. It ought to be regulated by a correct knowledge of the nature and character of the religion which we profess, and which we are desirous of furthering; and it ought to be brought into subjection to the dictates of that religion: a religion, not furious, fiery, implacable, cruel; but "peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." They who act for the furtherance of that religion, in a manner inconsistent with its dictates, show that however sincere be their "zeal of God," it is "not according to knowledge;" or, "that they know not what manner of spirit they are of." Every deviation from the rules of charity and brotherly love, of gentleness and for

No temple to the True.
ZEALOTS-Graceless.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong, whose life is in the right:
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity. Pope.
ZEPHYR-Invocation of a.

Zephyr! stay thy vagrant flight,
And tell me where you're going :-
Is it to sip off the dewdrop bright
That hangs on the breast of the lily white
In yonder pasture growing,—
Or, to revel 'mid roses and mignionette sweet :
Or wing'st thou away some fair lady to meet?
If so, then, hie thee away, bland boy,
Thou canst not engage in a sweeter employ.
From kissing the blue of yon bright summer
sky,

To the vine-cover'd cottage delighted I fly,
Where Lucy, the gay, is shining,
To sport in the beams of her lovely eye,
While her temples with roses she's twining:
Then do not detain me, I sigh to be there,
To fan her young bosom-to play 'mid her
hair!
Hone.

ZOOLOGY-Pursuits of.

Natural history is no work for one that loves his chair or his bed. Speculation may be pursued on a soft couch, but Nature must be observed in the open air. I have collected materials with indefatigable pertinacy. I have gathered glow-worms in the evening and snails in the morning; I have seen the daisy close and open; I have heard the owl shriek at midnight, and hunted insects in the heat of noon.
