“,.... Ever bright 
And faultless image! welcome now thou art 
In thy pure loveliness—thy roles of white , 
Speaking a moral to the feeling heart; 
Unscathed by heats—by wintry blasts unmoved— 
Thy strength thus tested—and thy charms improved.” 
—Anna Dinnies. 
Religious and Moral Truth. 
EN can never blot out the eternal characters which distinguish truth 
from error. 
Truth in itself is strong and robust; as it is, under one aspect, the 
harmonized whole of the relations which unite things together, it is strongly 
Connected with them, and cannot he separated from them, either by the 
efforts of man or by the revolutions of time. 
Error, on the contrary, the illusive image, as it were, of the great 
ties which bind together the compact mass of the universe, stretches over 
its usurped domain, like those dead branches of the forest, which, devoid 
of sap, afford neither freshness nor verdure, and only serve to impede the 
advance of the traveler. 
Oh, too confiding men, do not allow yourselves to he deluded and 
seduced by brilliant appearances, pompous discourse, or false activity. 
“Truth,” continues a modern author, “is open, modest, without sus¬ 
picion, because it is pure and strong; error is hypocritical and ostenta¬ 
tious, because it is false and weak.
