Os Judging Justly.—A perfectly just and sound mind is a rare and invaluable gift. But it is stili more unusual to see a mind unbiassed in all its actions.—God ; has given this soundness of mind but to ; few; a very small number of these few ■ escape the bias of some predilection, per haps habitually operating ; and none arc at all times, and perfectly free. I once saw this subject forcibly illustrated. A w atch ; maker told me that a gentleman put an ex cellent watch in his hands that went irreg ular. It was as perfect a piece of work as : was ever made. He took it to pieces, and ‘put it together again twenty limes. No ; manner of defect was discovered, and vet j the watch went tolerably. At last it struck hint that possibly the balance wheel might have been near a magnet. On applying a j needle to it he found bis suspicions true. Here was all the mischief. The steal works in the other parts ofthe watch went as well as possible with anew wheel. If the soundest mind be magnetised bv any pre dilection, it must act irregularly.— Cecil. \\ hen Fietus was condemned to death for having been concerned in a conspiracy against Claudius, his consort Arria, havintr in vain solicited his life, persuaded him to to destroy himself, rather than suffer the ig. i,>mine offalling by the hand of the exe cutioner; and in order to encourage him to an act. to which it seems he was not ! much inclined, she set him the example.
