BY JOHN HENRY NEWMAN, M.A. FELLOW OF ORIEL COLLEGE.

Fret not thyself because of the ungodly, neither be thou envious against the evil doers. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and be withered even as the green herb. Put thou thy trust in the LORD, and be doing good; dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.—PSALM 37:1–3.
