THERE is TIME ENOUGH.

This is one Of the most mischievous
sentences in the English language. Not
that il is bad in itself,--fo it is strictly
true, as we intend to shew presently -
But its meaning is sadly perverted, and
what was meant for good, becomes the
occasion Of evil.
Many good thing might have been
done, had it been begun in season, but
because there was time enough, it was
let alone, and let alone, and 80 not start
ed till too late, or never moved at all.
But there is such thing as bringing
good out Of evil. The bee extracts hon
ey, as sweet, if not as abundant, from
the thistle, as from the rose. And he
who would profit by studying human ma
ture, and watching Divine Providence,
may learn wisdom from his past errors,
and turn over his mislortunes to some
good account.
The wisest man in ancient days (and
We believe he was fully as wise as peo-
pie commonly are at present. the wis
est man Of ancient days, has given US to
understand that there is time for every
thing under the sun. A time for laugh
ter, and for tears time for sorror, and
for jog. A time for business and time
for recreation, and time for rest, but
