Confession or tnTidelity.—."1 sectn,"
fays Hume, “al' iglited and confounded
with liie solitude in which 1 am placed by
my phylosopiiy. When l look abroad, on
every side I see dispute, contradiction,
distraction. VV nen 1 turn my eyes inward
I find nothing but doubt and ignorance.
Where atn 1 ? or what am I ? From
what cause do 1 derive my existence?
To what condition shall I return ? I am
confounded With questions. 1 begin to
fancy myself in o most deplorable condi
tion, environed with darkness on every
side.”
Voltadr says : “The world abounds with
wonders, nnd also with victims. In man
is more wretchedness than all other ani
mals pul together.” How did he judge
of it? By his own heart. He adds:
“Man loves life, yet he knows he must
die; spends his existence in diffusing the
miseries lie has suffered—culling the
throats of his fellow-creatures for pay—
cheating and being cheated. The hulk of
mankind, he continues, are nothing more
thau a crowd of wretches, equally crimi
nal, equally unfortunate. I wish I Imd
never been born.” Hear what St. Paul
says: “ I have fought a good fight. I
have finished inv course ; I have kept the ,
faith. Henceforth there is laid up for I
me a crown of righteousness, whicn the *
Lord, the righteous judge, will give me
at that day.”

£■-<5“ A celebrated druggist of Phila
tlelphia, being, ns he thought, on the point
of death, sent for Dr. C., who was the
family physician C. having prescribed,
was about to take his leave, when the
druggist called him to his bedside, and
said : “Doctor, I have something weigh
ing heavily on my mittd ; several years
ago I was in the habit of adulterating my
drugs, and I am now apprehensive lest 1
will not be pardoned.” "Well,” said the
doctor, “the God Almighty is merciful
and may forgive you. but if 1 were he, c
I’d see yon d—<1 first.”
-A truly grateful heart may nut be able "
to tell its gratitude, but it can feel, and love, j
and act. I
