was burnt down almost to the socket. !
perceived that she piled her needle very
fast, and at length 1 overheard her say to
herself, must be very industrious, for
this is the only candle have, and it is al
most gone"
What moral there is, thought I, in
the words Of this child! Surely may learn
from it. Life is but short candle. 1t is
almost gone, and have no other. How
earnestly engaged should then be in eve
ry duty of my life. While I have the
light Of life how careful should be to per-
form everything enjoined by my heavenly
Master!
l. ought TO be in haste to work out
my own salvation, with fear and trembling
knowing that when this light is extin-
guished there is no other allowed to NOR
tai for preparation.
2. ought to be alive to the immortal
interests of my fellow creatures, working
while it is called to-day, striving to bring
sinners to the Lord Jesus Christ; for my
brief candle is soon 10 60 out, and .here
can be no conversion ofsinners in another
world.
3. | ought to be increasingly active in
every act Of benevolence, making as many
happy as / can, relieving the miserable,
and doing good to all within my reach
for this light IS soon to be put out, and in

WHAT is MAN.

Originally dust--engendered in sin
brought forth with SORROW helpless in
infancy-extravagantly wild in his youth
mad in his manhood-decrepid in age
his first voice moves pity-his last COM
mands grief.
Nature clothes the beast with hair
the birds with feathers, and tie fishe, with
scales-but man is born naked-his hands
cannot handle-his feet cannot walk
his tongue cannot speak, nor his eyes see
aright-simple his thoughts-vain his de-
sires-toys his delight. AS soon as he
puts on his distinguishing character, rea-
son, he burns it with wildfre passions
paints it with aOominable pride, tears it
with Unsuitable revenge-dirts it with ava
rice, and stains it with lust His next state
is full Of miseries-fears torment-hopes
intoxicate-cares perplex-enemies as
sault him-friends betray him-thieves
rob him-wrongs oppress him-and dan
gers way-lay him. His last scene is de-
plorable-his eyes dim-hands feeble
feet lame-sinews shrunk--bones dry
his days are full Of sorrow-his nights Of
pain--Lis Infancy is full Of folly-youth
of disorder and foliage ofin6rmfty.
In other words, man is a dunghill
blanched with .ow-a may y-game Of for
tune-a mark for malice-a butt for envy
If poor, despised-if rich, Aa!teFed-if
prudent, mis,rusted- if simple, derided-
ais beauty, fiower-his strength, grass
his wit, flash-his wisdom, folly-his
judgment, weakness--his art, imperfection
