APHORISMS AND REFLECTIONS
I cannot but think that lie who finds a certain .proportion of pain and evil inseparably woven up in the life of tile very worms, will bear bis own share with more courage and submission ; and will, at any rate, view with suspicion those weakly amiable theories of the Divine government, which would have us believe pain to be an oversight and a mistake—to be corrected by and by. On the other band, the predominance of happiness among living things their lavish beauty—the secret and wonder'ul harmony which pervades them all, from the highest to the lowest, are ec|iinlly striking refutations of that modern Mnnichcan doctrine, which exhibits the world as a slave-mill, worked with many tears, for mere utilitarian ends.
