INDO.LENCE.-When man has moth
ing but leisure, Incidence overspreads the
whole Of his time. He does nothing. He
grows mo ody and gloomy. His spirits sink
and languish into lethargy: his parts, being
in no motion are of no use to him. But
straighten him by business, and you put
his spirits in motion. He is full of alacrity
He has in reality, more leisure than he had
when he had nothing but leisure. Divide
his time into portions distribute some for
business, Others for pleasure, and he has a
landmark to direct himselfby; His life has a
determined course like water enclosed by
its banks. But leave him to himself-give
him nothing but Incidence, and his life Is
no longer Ikea stream that flows along
1t has no channel-it has no current 1T is
like a stagnant piece Of water not confined
by any thing, and, yet having noinlet. At
first 1t is port-a mere mash but as it
widens and largens, and deepens, it expands
into an extensive area,-an immense lake,
without motion, without tide, e,-having in it
none of the elements of life, but all those
of death and Instruction. Dead Sea.
