We talk of amuſements unbending the mind; ſo they ought; yet even in the hours of relaxation we are acquiring habits. A mind accuſtomed to obſerve can never be quite idle, and will catch improvement on all occaſions. Our purſuits and pleaſures ſhould have the ſame tendency, and every thing concur to prepare us for a ſtate of purity and happineſs. There vice and folly will not poiſon our pleaſures; our faculties will expand, and not miſtake their objects; and we ſhall no longer "ſee as through a glaſs darkly, but know, even as we are known."
