JoBN GRILLoN. for Tom Savers,

FOLLY OF PRIDE.-Take some quiet, sober
moment of life, and add together the two
ideas of pride and man. Behold him, crea.
ture OF span, stalking through infinite space
in all the grandeur of littieness. Perched
on a speck of the universe, every wind of
Heaven strikes into his blood the GOODNESS of
death; his soul floats from his body like mel
ody from the string; day and night, like dust
on the wheel, he is rolled along the heaven,
through labyrinth of worlds, and all the
creations of God are flaming above and be-
meath. Is this a creature to make for him
self crown of glory, to deny his own flesh,
to mock his fellow, sprung from that dust to
which they both viii return Does the
proud man not.err Does he not suffer p
Does he not die When he reasons, is he
not often stopped by difficulties Z When he
acts,is he never tempted by pleasure? When
he lives, is he from pain When he dies,
can he escape the common grave? Pride
is not the heritage OF man; humility should
dwell with frailty, and atone for ignorance
error and imperfection.
The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1860-01-14

Night and Sleep. What wonderful and
blessed thing is night when Nature
withdraws the stimulous poured upon the
brain through'the channel of the eye, and all
the cares and fatigues of the past day, like
sour nurses, who, having been cross with the
hayward child till it was weary, turn kind
and compassionate at last land rock the mind
to sleep. "The blanket of dark" Shaks-
peare callsis, and contrasts it with Heaven.
Now, doubtless, there is many a wicked
thing done behind the blanket; but see not
why the misuse of any of Heavens best gifts
by man and mans passions should take away
from the value of that gift. The best boon
that ever was conveyed can be abused.
When God created theeyil and the good, He
permitted the evil, but ordained the good,
and left man to choose between them.
