SELF CONFIDENCE A. DUTY.

When Leibnitz says, sthe present is preg-
nant with the future we are not to receive
the dictum as an abstract proposition, but
as one in which every indiviual is interest
ed, and in the veiifcation Of which he is
destined 10 form part. AS the child is the
father of the man, so, in mortal as we'll
as in literal sense, the living is the parent
Of the unborn genel atoms; and it should
elevate us in our own estmatin, as we'll as
in our sense Of the duties and powers com.
mitted TO us, if we reflect that every indi-
vidual mind may contain some germ, some
seed, some latent principle, the deselope-
ment Of which may sooner or later produce
an important and beneficial influence upon
the whole widespread world. Idle, not TO
say impious, were il to distrust Gods pow.
er TO work such miracle in our own per.
son, because our position may be humble
our means and ourinleligence seemingly in,
adequate to the production Of grand results.
Neither natural nor mental expansveness
! is to be measured by the capacity of the re-
cipient. What! were not all the oak for
esls of the earth once contained in single
acorn? 10 the history of nations it. would
seem that some mysterious law generally
deduces the greatest events from mean
causes. A camel.driver founded new re-
ligion, and changed the fortunes Of whole
empires; Genoese adventurer, by discov.
ering America, opened new world to the
conquests and the commerce. OF the old; an
obscure German, by the invention Of the
printing press, widened the whole intellect.
ual sphere OF man; and al Augustine monk,
by denouncIng the sale OF indSIgences, &C.
complshed the greatest revolution that
The world had experienced since the intro
duction OF Christianity. 'r
