WORLDLY MEN.-The thoughts of worldly
men are forever regulated by moral law Of
gravltation, which like the physical one, holds
them down 10 earth. The ght glory of day
and the silent wonders of starlight night, ap.
peal to their minds in vain. There are no signs
IN the sun, or the moon, or in the stars, for their
reading. They are like some wise men, who,
learning to know each plannet by its Latin,
name, have quite forgolt en- such small heavenly
consultations as charity, torbsarance, universal
love- and mercy. although they shine by nigh.
ana DAY SO brightly, that the blind may see
them; and who, looking upward at the spang.
led sky, see nothing there but the reflection OF
their own great wisdom and book learning. II
Is curious TO imagine these people of the world,
busy IN thought, turning their eyes towards the
countless spheres that shine above US, and ma.
king them reflect the only images their minds
contain.
