RESPECTABLE AND RESPECTED,

AUTHOR.

He that to ancient wreathes can bring no more
From his own worth, dies bankrupt on the score.

JOHN CLEVELAND.

I am one

Who finds within me a nobility

That spurns the idle pratings of the great,

And their mean boast of what their fathers were,
While they themselves are fools effeminate,

The scorn of all who know the worth of mind

And virtue.

JAMES GATES PERCIVAL.

The reputation of a man is like his shadow: It sometimes follows and sometimes precedes him; it is sometimes longer and sometimes shorter than his natural size.-FRENCH PROVERB.
