In tracing the page of history, the mind
recoils from the numerous monuments Of
human nature in ruins, which are every
where present. Characters Of vice and
defornity are perpetually occurring. Even
in the sacred records, such characters a.
bound, and exhibit man, in every variety
Of situation, as fallen, degraded, and de-

side of life. and makes the best Of every
thing, will, we think, Other. things being
equal, be better and a happier man than
those who, as franklin says. ARE always
looking at the ugly leg and find occasion
for complaint and censure in almost eve
