There is no danger that man should feel himseir too little, or his Maker too great. If there were, he would do well to confine himself to a sphere, in which nothing is so obvious as the operation of man's ingenuity and power. Rut since we are all too much engaged in the strife and the bustle, and the eagerness which is necessary to insure an average of material comforts; since individuality of character is too much sacrificed to the arbitrary rules of polished life; since by associating exclusively with man in an artificial stale of being, the generous too frequently become selfish, tlu gentle hardened, and the noble debased: it is good to shake oh" occasionally the unnatural bondage by which the aspiring spirit is kept down, to go forth into the woods and the wilds, and to ieel, though but for a day or an hour, that man was born tor something better than to be the slave of hie own bodily wants. Each lime that we experience this real independence of mind, we ascend one step higher in the scale ot moral existence; and if circumstance or dire necessity should prevent the frequent recurrence of such feelings, we may at least secure a sulid and lasting; good, by learning in this way to appreciate the mental elevation of others.
