HABIT. I trust everything, under Gorf, to habit, upon which, in all ages, the lawgiver as well as the schoolmaster nas mainly placed his reliance; habit, which makes everything easy, and casts all difficulties upon a deviation from wonted course. Make sobriety * and intemperance will make prudence a habit, profligacy will be habit hateful md reckless * contrary to the child, grown or adult, as the most atrocious crimes are to any of lordships. Give a child the habit of sacredly regarding truth; of carefully respecting the property of others; of scrupulously abstaining from ail acts ot improvidence which involv" *'*’'** him in distress 7 and he will fust as likely think of rushing into an element in which he cannot breathe, as of lying, or cheating, or stealing.—Lord Brougham.
