GROWTH OF VIRTUE.-V Virtue
is not a mushroom that SPRING
eth up of itself in one night,
when we are asleep or regard it
not, but a delicate plant } that
groweth slowly and tendefiy,
needing much pains to cultivate
it, much care to guard 1t, much
time to mature it. 4 Neither is
vice a spirit that win be conjur2
eduaway with d charm, slain by
a single blow, or dispatched by
one stab Who, then, will be
so foolish as To leave the eradi-
eating of vice, and the planting
ofvirtue into its place for afeW
years or weeks Yet he who
procrastinates shis repentance
and amendment grossly does
so; with his eyes open he
| abridges the time allotted for
the longest and most important
work he has to'perform ,!he is a
fool.-[ Barrow. 81 4. !,

True, every Y word Of it-truer =. -uer

whirling they will elevate him
to his former place and power,
