MAN'S POWER OVER HIMSELF.
It may be asked, has man the power to regulato his affections according to natural and moral rather than worldly • and selfish relations with hie fellow-men? He has it in his power to direct his will to desire, and his imagination to dwell upon those ends that conscience and laws of human kindness prefer to the. world's applause and promises. He is free to put away with care those objects which .harden the heart, quench high feelings, and concentrate attention on the world's favour and vain ambitions. Ho is free to break the bonds of those repulsive passions that render man inhuman and cruel, which stifle sensibility, and become the torment of hearts enslaved by them.—Jean Jacques .KoufiEcau.. I
