IllustrationQuote★★★★
Innocent amusements are such as excite moderately, and such as produce a cheerful frame of mind, not boisterous mirth ; such as refresh, instead of exhausting, the system ; such as recur frequently, rather than continue long; such as send us back to our daily duties invigorated in body and spirit; such as we can partake of in the presence and society of respectable friends; such as consist with and are favorable to a grateful piety; such as are chastened by self-respect, and are accompanied with the consciousness that life has a higher end than to be amused.
Dr. Channing.
