From the N. Y. Sum-
The inculcation and pursuit of virtue
brings its own reward. Man is creature
who cannot act without motive; motives
like the weight of clock control his motion
but he is given by The wise Creator, pow
er Of discrimination, of judgement upon the
motives that actuate him, and can avoid
those which lead him to evil, and bring down
upon him pain, sorrow and unrest. The
man Of wisdom and understanding seeks
and does the good from an absolute necessi-
ty OF his sympalhies and wants. To him,
the pursuit of evil or wrong is repulsive.--
His soul, like finely attnned instrument,
shudders at every finger of discord touching
its keys. Joy and felicity follow him only
in the path Of virtue.
The higher our humanity is developed,
the more nstnclively, we cling TO the beau
tlful and true, the more abhorrent is every
thing false and deformed. Selfshness--a
desire to satisfy selElongings, which are the
sours inaudIbe articulatons, may lie at the
base of these instincts and actions ofthe good
man but this weighs nothing against their
virtue. Sel6shncss lies at the bottom of all
life, in all its real or imaginable manfesta-
tions. Intelligence puri6es and ennobes it,
plratIohs OF htmamrt t1i md as:
good, because to do evil would give over the
instincts of his soul TO torment.
Would that, in The language ofthe noblest
poets, all might feel that the virtuous
rs great in his humility, as kings
Are little in their grandeur"
That
"Every heart contains perfection's gem,
And wsest Of the sages of the earh
That ever from the stores of reason drew
Science and truth, and virtues dreadless tone,
Where but weak and inexperienced boy,
Proud sensual, unimpassoned, unmbued,
With pure desire and universal love,
Compared to that high being Of cloudless brain,
Which death. pausing in awe before
His changeless eyebeam, might alone subdue."
