A Brief Discourse.

TExr.-"There'sa way that seemeth right unto
man but the end tssrsofr &e.
We hope it viii not be deemed sac
rilegious to quote here this sublime pre-
caution from the oracles OF Divine
Truth, as text to discourse from. in
the manners that follows, although in
aid Of subjects of a somewhat secular
nature appertaining, ,lhowever 70 NOR
tality.
1t seems right to a man TO neglect
paying his debts for the sake Of lend
ing or specializing upon his money.
but the end thereof is bad paymsster
1t may seem right toa man to at
tempt to live upon the fashions of the
times but the end thereof-is disgust
ing to all sensible folks, and to health,
reputation and property.
1t may seem right TO . man to keep
constantly borrowing Of his neighbors,
but the end thereof-is very cross
neighbors.
1t may seem right 10 man 10 trou-
bic himself about his ncighbor's busi-
ness, but the end therofis neglect Of
his own.
1t may seem right to q man to be
always trumpeting his own fame but
the end thereof is-his fame don't ex-
tend very far.
II may seem right to a man to be
continually slandering his neighbors,
but the end thereof is-nobody be-
lieves what he says.
1t may seem right to man to in
dulge his children in everything. but
the end thereof is-his children will
indulge themselves in dishonoring
him.
Itmay seem right to a man 10 put
offeverything which ought to be done
to-day, until to-mow, but the end
thereof is-such things are not done
at all.
Itmay seem right to a man to at
tempt to please every body.
1t may seem right to a man to ex-
eel bis neighbor in extnvagance and
luxury, but the end thereof is-he on
ly excels them in folly.
1t may seem right TO man not to
take a newspaper, but the end thereof
is-that mar and his family are totally
ignorant Of the. ordinary occurrences Of
the day.
1t may seem right to a man to OBJ
tain his news by borrowing and steal
ing Of his neighbors, but the end there
of is-fraud upon the Printer.
1t may seem right to a man to wor-
ship a creature more than the Crea-
tor, but the end thereof is-he is an
idolator.
Itmsy seem right TO . man to be
necessarily occupied IN boarding up
the treasures of this world bat the end
thereofis-he has none in the world
to come
1t may seem right to Us to further
extend this discourse, at the expense
of the reader, but the end therof is
here.
