Oh I my dear friend, how do trying situatioss en- 

 dear to us the great truths of religion. It is religion 

 which stills the violence of pafsion, and soothes the 

 most turbulent to peace ; itis that which, in tV dark-

 man ; it is that which proves the real dignity of our 

 nature, by discovering to us our origin and desti- 

 nation ; it is that alone which converts the fearful 

 apprehension of a mortal separatfon, into the con- 

 firmed hope of an everlasting reunion, with those 

 whom our souls hold dear. Mira.
