Sinecures

Nor is the sensation of embarrassment unpleasant as it is
especially where its recurrence becomes to a certain degree
frequent, the only inconvenience with which this sort of
laxity is pregnant. In the fortuitous concourse of
discordant atoms, ideas will be liable to be excited
such of a nature so unsuitable discordant to the subject as to
set the mind a rumbling, and turn it aside
oftentimes but too effectually, from its proper subject.

"And he said saddle me the ass: – and they saddled
"him". If the incident accident mentioned in the story,
and which consisted in matter more nor less than the
allotment of an undue portion intensity of emphasis to the word
time, ever really took place, it is easy it may be left to any one to conceive
in to what a degree the thoughts of the must

channel in which but for the error they would naturally of course have been gliding on. Yet here was no wrong

less a wrong anything wrong in the writing so far as words were concerned,
nothing more wrong worse than a wrong emphasis given to
one of the right words. That⊞ ⊞ in the minds on the part of any
set of chldren of an
age competent to the
rendering of the species sort
of service so designated any quid pro quo misconception so
extraordinary as the substitution which by the impropriety

is what no set of children, of an age competent to
the rendering of such service <add>the sort of service so designated</add></del> could surely have

momentary belief. But by the without any such exertion of
the judicial faculty as is designated by the term belief,
by its own ,
and unhappily a
frequently applied
froce, is but too apt
to turn the aside
the thoughts mind from those
right and proper channels
in which the force
of the judicial faculty strives in vain to to confine them by its slender and brittle for them.
