The construction of all our local roads de-

It is he who subjects his opinions to the ex-
ation ot others befoie he adventures to

good will suppresses anima'dver-
says nothincr except in praise ? Tf.
vho dreads to give offence and sacri-
mdependence of thought and ex
pression to the pleasure of fools ? jSo. The
true critic is a true man bold honest open
plain-spoken. He who knows his duty and
pei forms it. He stands up like a steady
thresher flail in hand and beats out the
grain from the chaff. He waits not for the
decision of the public taate; for he knows
that the public taste is often misled by falsa
criticism.
The true critic is awaie. mcrever that the"
public ta.-te in often unjust : it reiects cood
things of a certain sort have been found de-
serving cf rejection. This fate has in a
measure overtaken poetry. So much me-
trical nonesense has been uttered of late
years that all metrical productions are re-
ceived with distrust if not absolutely dis-
carded by superficial readers.
Men are too much absorded by the daily
business of life by prosperity by adversity .
by pleasure by griefs by cares by court-
ships by marriage by losses by deaths to
beatow that culture upon their intellectual
faculties which is indispensable to the forma-
tion of correct and discriminating tastes.
Even when they are well disposed to fdrrn-'
their judgments and to kfurm their minds

variety of books and periodicals vhich
