and the triumph OF mind over matter,
God was The first printer! He gave from
his awful hand amid The blackness of Sinai,
The tables OF stone on which vas printed The
mind Of God The decalogue of all moral
law, and the claims OF man, and God upon

EARTHLY 'riEs.--Oh how many Ties there
are 10 bind the soul 10 earth! When tbs
strongest are cut asnnder, and the spirit feels
i,sefcasi loose from every bond that connects
It with mortality. how imperceplibly does one
little iendFll after another become entwined a

He who thinks he has but one love is always
mistaken. The heart may have one overmas-
tering affection. more powerful than all tho
resi. which, like the main root Of the tree 10
thai which supports il; but If that be cot a.

lasts. may throw shade over the various OBJ
legations and the infinite multitude OF kind

mankind; but when that fades. these, are seen
TO twinkle IN the armament OF life as the stars
shine after the sun has gone down Even

heart lha, would have spurned the world, se,-
