above US, who not only rules the universe but
through his Son, our Saviour, is our only re-
fupe in distress, and supporter in the seVerest
trials of life.

modest almost to bashfulness, was
once asked by country apothe-
cary, of a contrary character, in

patriarchs lived to such extreme
old age?" To which question the
clergyman replied. :" Perhaps

coffin. and return the casket to the
undertaken. This exhibition OF
duplicity would do honor to the
