AN EASTERN STORY, A certain man went to a der vife, and proposed three ques tions ; firft, “ Why do they fay that God is omnipotent ? I do roc fee him in any place ; Ihow me where he is.”—Second, “ Why is man punished for crimes, since whatever he does proceeds from God ? Man has no free will, for he cannot do a ny thing contrary to the will of God ; and if he had power he would do every thing for his own good.”—Thiid, “ How can God punish Satan in he!i fire, since he is formed of that element ? And what imprefTion can fire make on itfelf?” The dervife took up a large clod of earth and (truck him on the head with it. The man went to the Cady, and laid, “ I proposed three questions to such a der vife, who rfung a clod of earth at my head, which made my heaa ache.” The cady having lent for the dervtfe, asked, “ Wh<. did you fend a clod of earth a 1 his head, inflead of answering his qudlions ? The dcrvife re plied, “ The clod of earth was an answer to his speech; he hay a pain in his head, let him shew it to me, and I will make Lod visible to him } and why dot* he exhibit a complaint agamlt me? wliatever I did was the act of God; I did not flrikc bin without the will of God ; wha; power do I pod-Is ? And she is compounded of cartn, how can he. fuller pain from that (de ment ? ’ Flic man was confoun ded, and the cady highly pleas ed with the dervile’s answer.

Marriage. —Marriage fiiould be confidercd as the molt lb lemn leagu?ot perpetual friend- Ihip ; a Hate from which arti lice and concealment are to be b .milled forever ; and in which every adt of dissimulation is and breach of faith. The infelicity of marriage is not to be u ged againll irs in llitution, as the milcry of life proven equally, that life cannot be thegucof heaven, —Marriage :s not commonly unhappy, but as life is unhappy ; and moll of these, who complain of connu bial nailery, have as much laris faction as their natures would Have admitted, or their conduct piocured, in any other condition. Marriage has many pains, but Celibacy bus no pleas 1 res. Dr. Jthntort. The zeal or enthusiasm for liberty occasions f.cquently the full display of energy and geni ous.
