PICTURE OF HUMAN LIFE.-We commend the
following beautiful allegory by Addison. 1t
was first published in the year I'LL, and it
truthfully represents the actual facts Of o ia
bic of mortality:
The bridge thou seest," said he, is human
life consider it attentvely." Upon a more
leisurely survey of it, found that it consisted
ofthreescore and ten arches with several broken
arches, which added to those that were entire,
made up the number about one hundred. As
I was counting the arches, the genins told me
that this bridge consisted at first of thousand
arches, but that great flood swept away the
rest, and left the bridge in the ruinous eondi-
ton l now beheld it.
"But tell me, further" said he, "what thou
discoverest on it I? Il see multitudes Of people
passing over it, said l, 'and black cloud
hanging on each end of it,"
As looked more attentively, saw several
of the passengers dropping through the bridge
into the great tide that flowed underneath it
and, upon further examination, trap doors that
lay concealed in the bridge, which the passen
gers no sooner trod upon but fell through them
into the tide and Immediately disappeared.
These hideous pitfalls were set very thick al
the entrance of the bridge, so that throngs O.
people no sooner break through the cloud bu
many of them fall into them. They age thinnel
toward the middle, but multiplied and lait
closer together toward the end of the arche
that were entire. There were indeed some per
sons, but their number was small, that con
tinued kind of hobbling march on the broker
arches, but fell through one after another
being quite tired and spent with 30 long q walk
| What a beautiful picture Of human life as i
exists and dies out In the present age
