What man has made himself be will b,

What man has made himself be will be-
his state is the result of his past life, and
his heaven or hell is in himself At death
we enter upon new course of life, what
that life shall be depends upon ourselves
If we have provided oil for our lamps and
fitted ourselves for noble destiny and the
fellowship of the great and good spirits that
have passed away, such will be our portion;
and if we have ms-used our talents, and
sunk our souls in the sensual pleasures or
base passions of this world, we shall carry
our desires and passions with us, to make
our torment in the other. X y
1t is surely absurd to expect that because
our bodies have decayed or fallen away, or
been destroyed by an accident, that miracle
is to be wrought in our favor, and that the
misers love Of gold, or the prohigate's love
of vice, is to be Immediately extinguisbed,
and to be superseded by incinations and
tastes better suited to his new condition,
New circumstances do not so rapidly engen-
der new mind here, that we should hope
they will do SO there; more especially as in
the first place we do not know at facilities
of improvement may remain in us; and in
the second, since the law that like seeks like
must be undertaking, the blind will seek the
blind and not those who could help them to
light. The Night Side Of Nature

An old negro woman, says the Richmond
Va) Dispatch, known as Nancy, for many
years engaged as a saleswoman in the first
markethouse, died few days since, at the
advanced age of lo7 years Up to within a
short time of her demise her intellectual
faculties were as bright as ever, and nothing
seemed to afford her so much pleasure as to
relate the incidents of the Revolution. and
the expulsion of the red coats from Yorktown.
Like all old negroes, she had seen and known
Master George Washington well, and could
give fair description of the atocites of the
traitor Arnold, when he attempted to over
run and subdue the patriots Of that section
of the country.
