Believe NE, the world is mighty pleas
ant creature, only do not expect too much
frcm it. In the hour of peace, ofprosperlty,
and relaxation, seek the world; in modera-
ton. taste of it as you would a strong cor
dial; but lose not the remembrance that it
turns bitter on the lees; drink it not to ex-
cess, or it will lead to folly, lgnominy, or
death. Hope nothing from the world in the
hour of sorrow. Hope little even from friends,
try them not too much,-it is painful to find
them wanting. Trust only in that world
which is not nozv, but which must come to
all, whether they will or not. Look at the
great word written over the portal of death
-Eternity--and seek your comfort there.
