RELIGION,

There is, says Bishop Taylor, u.
UNIVERSAL crust Of hypocricy that covers
the face Of the greatest part Of man.
kind but true religion is open in its
articles, honest in its prosecution, just
in its conduct, innocent when it is &C.
eused, ignorant Of falsehood, sure in its
truth, simple in its sayings. and, Gas

ring them, and obtaining pardon for
them; but it can dissemble nothing Of
itself; it cannot tell or do lie; but
it cen become sacrifice +; good man
can quit his life, but not his integrity.
Sometime since soldier was brought
under concern for the interest of his
soul, and becoming visibly religious,
met with no little railing both from bis
comrades and his officers. He was
the servant of one of the latter. AT
length his master asked him "Richard,
what good has your religion done your"
The soldier made this discreet answer |:
"Sir, before was religious / used to
get drunk, now am sober. / used to
neglect your business now l perform
it diligently" The officer was silenc.
ed, and seemed to be satisfied. Here
we see the exilency of real religion; ii
teaches US to deny all uneodiness, and
TO live soberly, righleously, and godly
in this present world. Honesty, dill.
gence, sobriety and quietness, are a.

HAPPINESS


Mankind in general, one pursue.
And all their deeds have in view,
Some think to obtain it in the open court,
To seek it some to rural scenes resort;
Others, in gold strive happiness 10 find,
By travels, some would gain a happy
mind,
But all these means will fail, nor can i'm
part
A lasting bliss, or cheer the heart,
Would you be happy?--seek viEtuous
wife,
A quiet conscience, and quiet life.
