The Spirit OF the Morning Journals.
What an inexhaustible source oftho'ht
aud action ID the human mindi How
complicated and yet how simple r.
gasping ut all things, aud yet unable
TO fathom the hidden spring Of its own
actiona We do not wonder that great
minds and small, have been engaged
IN efforts to fathom its unfathomed re-
courses, since Plato lectufed in the
sacred groves Of Acadenius, and Jere-
my Bentham wrote his book oh Phil
osophy. Still with all the vast intelli-
gence of this age, the natural product
and offspring ofthe last eighteen hum

What Is the intelligence Of any one
man worth. when the light dffast ex-
pericnce and education does not shine
Into the top Of his head ! Why pos
itively nothing Then why this boast.

FROM the egotistical manner in which
many men give stheir views II refer

ner in which they are placed before
the world as though they were "Sir
Oricles," and when they ope their
mouths, all men should ope their
eyes and stare with admiration 1t theif
wisdom. Poor people are they, and
well deserving the worlds sympathy !:
there should be compassion for them,
and The milk Of human kindness should
flow over with pap, wherever they are.
