We know net the author Of tfe following beat
tiful extract 1t has a classical aspect.
Life is fountain fed by ii usand streams
thai perishes il one be dried. Il i, silver cord.
twisted with thousand stings that parts asun-
der if one be broken. Frail ana thoughtless NOR
tails are surrounded by innumerabe dangers
which make it much more strange that they es-
cape so long than that they almost all perish sud-
denly at last. We are encompassed with accl-
dent, ever readyto crush the moudering tencments
that we inhabit. The seeds Of disease are plant.
ed IN our constitution by the hand Of nature.-
The earth and the atmosphere. whence we draw
cur life, are impreenated with death-health s
made to operate its own destruction. The food
that nourishes the body contains the elements q
its decav--the soul that animates itby syllyng
fire, tends to wear it out by its action--death
turks in ambush along all our paths.
Notwithstanding this is the truth so palpably
confirmed by daily examples before our ewes, hov
little do they lay it to heart! We see our friends
and neghbors perishng around us, but how SCI
dom does it occur to our thoughts that our knel
perhaps, shall give the next truitess warning Il
! the world ?
