PROVIDENCE.
IF YOU want to see confusion appar-
antly worse confounded. go into general
post office. Bushels of letters are tum-
bled around the center table. The MIN
bic hands of the men catch them up
faster than you or l can follow them,
and every letter is turned the right way. ,
After going through certain processes
they are all thrown into leather bags
that are scattered all about the room,
according to their destinations The
morning comes. and the mails go out,
and each one of that enormous pile that
seems so tangled and confused having
special message and direction, takes its
own course. Though it seems iinpossi-
BILE that they could reach the place for
which they were intended; to north, and
south, and east, and west, through
streams and over railroads, and one is
dropped in this hamlet, another in that
village, and another in some other, till
they are all properly distributed. \
million letters go forth from this single
point: and not one fails to reach the per-
son to whom it was addressed. s
Now the world is God s gFea. post Of
fee, where everything is turmoil and ap~-
parent disorder; but there is distrih-
utive hand of Providence by which all
things are diseLt nsled. The issues and
results show that in the midst of his tts
multi and disorder there is a guiding
power. When man really believes
that, it is wonderful comfort to hin,
while passing through the varied expe-
riences of human life. .-t.
Religion comes to teach US that above,
every mans wisdom there Is 8 divine
Providence; that men are in this life not
unmatched nor nelred for, bat under a
Fathers eye and protection; that they
are provided fer by Providence that
takes account even of the very hairs of
their head-Beecher.
