which our just author abounds. And, if we consider the matter fairly, we must allow it to be as reasonable that some one should do violence to us, as we should commit it upon another. When we are impartial in our reflections, thus we must always think. The unjust man, with a hardened unfeeling heart, can do a thousand bitter things to others: but if a single calamity touches himself, O, how tender he is! how insupportable is the uneasiness it occasions! Why should we think others born to hard treament, more than ourselves? or imagine it can be reasonable to do to another, what we ourselves should be unwilling to suffer.

THERE'S NO TO-MORROW.

A MAN, who had lived a very profligate life, at length being awakened by the lively representations of a sober friend on the apprehensions of a feverish indisposition, promised, that he would heartily set about his reformation, and that To-morrow he would seriously begin it. -But the symptoms going off, and that To-morrow coming, he still put it off till the next, and so he went on from one To-morrow to another; but still he continued his reprobate life. This, his friend observing, said to him, "I am very much concerned to find how little effect my disinterested advice has upon you: but, my friend, let me tell you, that since your To-morrow never comes, nor do you seem to intend it shall, I will believe you no more, except you set about your repentance and amendment this very moment: for, to say nothing of your repeated broken promises, you must

consider, that the time that is past is no more; that Tomorrow is not ours; and the present now is all we have to boast of.

REFLECTION.

That compunction of heart cannot be sincere, which takes not immediate effect, and can be put off till Tomorrow. The friend's closing observation in the fable is so good a moral, that we need add nothing to it.
