DUTIES.
TYON’T object that your duties are so insignificant; they are to be reckoned of infinite significance, and alone important to you. Were it. but the more perfect regulation of your apartments, the sorting away of your clothes and trinkets, the arranging of your papers, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might,” and all thy worth and constancy. Much more, if your duties are of evidently higher, wider scope; if you have brothers, sisters, a father, a mother, weigh earnestly what claim does lie upon you, on behalf of each, and consider it as the one thing needful, to pay them more and more honestly and nobly what you owe. What matter how miserable one is if one can do that? That is the sure and steady disconnection and extinction of wha‘soever miseries one has in this world.
