MENTAL CONTROL.
When we turn our serious attention to the economy of the mind, we perceive that it is capable of a variety of processes of the most remarkable and most important nature. We find also that we can exert a voluntary power over these processes, by which we control. direct and regulate them at our will ; and that when we do not exert this power, the mind is left to the influence of external impression, or casual strains of associations, often unprofitable. and often frivolous.-We thus discover that the mind is the subject of culture and discipline, which, when dulv exercised, must produce the most important results on our condition as rational and moral beings; ancl that the exercise of them involves a responsibility of the most solemn kind, which no man can possibly put away from him.—Abercrombie*
