The parents of that generation were not frugal of counsel and advice, even when their children had reached years of discretion and had flown far away from the family nest. The father, in a letter of May 20, 1815, thus gently reproves his son:
Seeing her discomfiture, Constans believed that he was entitled to enjoy his triumph. He walked up with leisurely deliberation. "You are a goose," he said, and took her hands in his, as one who reproves a wilful child. She assented meekly. "To run away like that so foolish, when I had something serious to say to you. Why do you suppose I brought you here?
Let this be remembered always that deception inevitably means bondage. One is in bondage to his conscience, for it constantly reproves him. He is in bondage to the one he has deceived, for he can never stand honestly before him. He is most of all in bondage to his sin, for he will surely be found out. The Amorites were against the children of Israel and they were a great company.
And the ignorant by-stander prays that the doctor may have grace given him and time for repentance; whilst his more liberal companion reproves his want of charity, observing that travellers into far countries have always had a license for lying, as a sort of tax or fine levied for remunerating their own risks; and that great astronomers, as necessarily far travellers into space, are entitled to a double per centage of the same Munchausen privilege.
No one would ever wish it otherwise. Many a kindly spendthrift of twenty-one makes a prudent paterfamilias at forty, while a man who in his twenties showed a purposeless niggardliness, would at sixty grow into the most contemptible miser alive. There is something even in the thoughtless liberality of youth to which one's heart warms, even while one's wisdom reproves.
Those who collect contributions to sedition, sometimes apply to a man of higher rank and more enlightened mind, who, instead of lending them his name, calmly reproves them for being seducers of the people. You who are here, says he, complaining of venality, are yourselves the agents of those who having estimated themselves at too high a price, are only angry that they are not bought.
"I stand before you, uninvited, as your teacher, who reproves you out of the law, which always and everywhere is wiser than the individual, whose defender the king among his highest titles boasts of being, and to which the sage bows as much as the common man whom we bring up to blind belief I stand before you as your father, who has loved you from a child, and expected from none of his disciples more than from you; and who will therefore neither lose you nor abandon the hope he has set upon you
Uncle Sam is better than John Bull, but he is tarred with the English stick. For Mr. Grant White the States are the New England States and nothing more. He wonders at the amount of drinking in London; let him try San Francisco. He wittily reproves English ignorance as to the status of women in America; but has he not himself forgotten Wyoming?
"Humorous reproof:" that's not from a woman: who can reprove humorously but a man? was the groove of Cytherea's thought at the remark. 'Your brother reproves you, I expect, said that innocent young lady. 'No, said Miss Hinton, with a candid air. ''Tis only a professional man I am acquainted with. She looked out of the window. Women are persistently imitative.
Cicero concedes that 'it is indeed a strange disposed time? and inserts the statement that 'men may construe things after their fashion, clean from the purpose of the things themselves. But this is too disturbed a sky for him to walk in, so exit Cicero, and enter one of another kind of mettle, who thinks 'the night a very pleasant one to honest men; who boasts that he has been walking about the streets 'unbraced, baring his bosom to the thunder stone, and playing with 'the cross blue lightning; and when Casca reproves him for this temerity, he replies,
