RELIGION -Ehe following short and beau
tiful quotation is from the pages of the elegant
and the benevolent Mackenzie of
those who profess disbelief in religion, he ex'
presses himself in the following heart-touching
manner:
8 He who would undermine those founda'
tions upon which our future hope is reared,
seeks to beat down that column which supports
the feebeness Of humanity let him but think
moment. and his heart will arrest the cruelty
of his purpose. Would he pluck its little
treasure from tine bosom of poverty? Would
he wrest its crutch from the eve of affection,
the only solace of its woe? The way we tread
is rugged, at best we ttead it however,
lighter by the prospect of that better country
10 which we trust it will lead. Tell us not it
will end in the gulf of eternal dissolution, or
break off in some wild, which fancy may fill up
as she pleases, but reason is unable to deineate;
quench not that beam, which, amidst the night
of this evil world, has cheered the dependency
of i'll requited worth, and illumed the darkness
Of suffering virtue.
