The faint glimmerings of the pale-faced moon on the troubled billows of
the ocean, are not so fleeting and inconstant as the fortune and
condition of human life. We one day balk in the sun-shine of prosperity,
and the next, too often, roll in anguish on the thorny bed of adversity
and affliction. To be neither too fond of prosperity, nor too much
afraid of adversity, is one of the most useful lessons we have to learn
and practise in the extensive commerce of this world.
