TOSH BILDINGS' PHILOSOPHY.
It iz a libel to call man ppHectly honest, and the man who is th" most lonest will tell you Bu. Truth never hunts for grate words md miatified sentences to express itself ,a. Like the mountain spring, it roaches first the valley and t»Vn the 3-.han, by following the natural lay ov 'she ground. A faithful servant iz one of the greatest compl intent . to humanity. Pr ud«nce iz one or the virtues, 'hut the most uncertain and difficttft oneov all to define or exfioute. I dont't kno thnt. thafe ir enny sutch thing az good luck or had luck ; hut if there is, I am sure that the pood Inek has ruined more people than the bad lack haz. Idolatry iz the sin ov the heathens, infidelity of the Christiaas; but it iz bet er to worship a wooden god than none at all : ■ ** Nature invents ; man is simply •» discoverer, Hot what man must have, he iz sure to find Young man, if you hay got enny thing to do, do it now. To-day iz linked to eternity, tomorrow fo a myth. Life iz a strange web ; nature furnishes the *warp, man the filling. Be ye humble before God, and resolute before men ; hut how menny there he who reverse tbis order of things. Excess iz not safe ; even the virtews, carried to excess, l-ekum. fastidious, and oftirae. sumthing worse. Whenever I cum akross a man who iz panting to go into a general missionary bizzness, and convert everything nnd f.verybody. I generally discover ■f.hat he wants to convert all things to -tiis interest and to his wayov thinking.
