+SELECTED OBSERVATIONS of a LATE WORTHY DIVINE.+
Adrian, the coadjutor of Ximenes in the government of Castile, was much
disturbed at the libels which flew about against them. Ximenes was
perfectly easy. “If,” said he, “we take the liberty to act, others will
take the liberty to talk and write: when they charge us falsely, we may
laugh; when truly, we must mend.”
Dr. Green of St. John’s college, trying to skate, got a terrible fall
backwards--“Why, Doctor,” said a friend who was with him, “I thought you
had understood the business better.”--“O,” replied the Doctor, “I have
the theory perfectly; I want nothing but the practice.”--How many of us,
in matters of a much higher and more important nature, come under the
Doctor’s predicament!
