Resignation.

hcShS naOhUIs
What a happy condition of mind ex-
claim all moral philosophers, is cheerful
resignation to the misfortunes, ills, disap-
poiniments aud perplexities OF life, 1t is
theoretically an admirable doctrine, and 1t
such state of mind and feeling could exist
in us frail and restless, wicked and fault
finding mortals, the world would present
more of the scenes of paradise, than tho e
necessarily entailed OIL the fall. Il is a true
remark that aIversity tests The character oil
a man--reveals what manner ard matter Of
stuff and temper he is made of. 1t is clear
ly demonstrated in the conduct of men, let
their pretensions or professions be what they
snay. The doctrine of resignation so zeal'
ously advocated by the zoophytes Of crea-
ZION. is quite as practicable in its application
to the busy men of this changing world as
the doctrine of perfection is to the fallen
angels. 1t is easy for man, whose schemes
and enterprises are sagaciously planned and
watched with an unceasng vigilance and
precautlon that ensures success, whose
hopes have never been blasted, and whose
physical constitution has never been strck.
en- by sadness or slow disease, TO fold his
arms with composure, and indifferent to the
"sea of troubles" that surges around him,
preach fesignation 20 the depressed and tor
tured spirits whose hopes are drowned in
despair. lie that has never tasted the cup
of bitterness can form no idea of its gall
The race of soft, effeminate and passive
weaklings, who sail on smooth unruiiied
sea, where flair laughs the moon, and SOFT
the zephyrs blow" and who have not vital
force enough to buffet the biows OF adver-
sisy, may preach resignation to the bold
fearless but wicked adventurer, but SHRINK
with trembling tindity from the rear OF
the most timid volunteer in the campaign
Of untried fortune.
In the world of "pluck and spirit there
is no such thing as resig,dtton' Hope
may be swallowed up in the hollowness OF
sad misfortune, we may be harrassed with
the crue, tortures of treacherous word,
our granite-lke elements may be shaken to
their foundation, but as long as life anlmates
there is no resignation to overwhelming
trouble. We may be defeated, vanquished,
lost beyond all expectation OF relief, and
human nature, groaning under its inevitable
fate, can only, silently, but unwillngly sub.
init to what she cannot prevent.
We lock on all sides, but see no avenue
through which to escape from our prison
house of despair, and at last, detected, dis
spirited and despairing, surrender with the
forced exclamation "ace are resigned, in
the same manner that drowning man is
resigned to "catch at straw" In vulgar
language. "cant help It, let her rP, is
very plain, Ineligible and ccmmon-sense
definition Of the term resignation. This
sentiment undoubtedly sounds blasphemou'
IN the ears of some who have religiously
supposed they have been exercising resig
nation in the theological sense of the term
but when sennmentally analyzed, is una
voidable detection Of spirit without the pow
er of recuperation.
