You have been ten or twelve weeks a.

convincing to the people that You did

shews that you did not understand it,
that yon are so long in making it per-
feet. The people are looking at you
they inquire what you are about.
One Of the grounds on which this
measure was supported was, that il was
a measure accepted under the admins

have had all the time since the passage
Of the bill 10 find better reason. Have
they found it while patching up what

The most zvrctchsd s:ate IF Wan.

In conference held between some Greek
and Indian philosophers, in the presence of
Chofroes, king of Persiasthe following ques-
ton was proposed for solution.
6 WHAT'S the most wretched state in
which msn can find himself in this world !?
A Graer philosopher said il was to pass
feeble Old age in the midst Of extreme po
very. An Indian asserted that il was to
suffer sickness Of body accomP panied by pain
OF the mind.-As for me said the yizcr Bu-
zurgcrnhir, think thst the greatest Of mi
series a man can experience in this world,
is to- see himself near the close Of life with
out having practised virtue.
This opinion received the general appro-
baton ef this assembly Of sages, and Cho-
froes ordered that it should be engraved on
a marble table, and fixed up in the principal
square Of Ispahan, to offer to the people
subject OF meditation and remain an eternal
lesson Of wisdom.
Tine which devours all things has des-
troyed this tablet; and in Persia as with us
it is forgotten that the greatest OF miseries
in this world is to approach the close OF lie
without having pracsised virtue.
