In a nat and beautiful city,, in one ot the Northern! Slatesi lived a lawyetof emihence and talents.-'. I do riot knoW mapy particulars of his morcal character;"but he was notrirlously profane. He hidia negro-boyf at whom his neighbors used to hear Jitm swear with aw ful violence. One dav this gentleman met a decided Christian, who was aliso jarr lawyer, and said to iMm, I wish, sic, toexapiihe tuto the ruih jof tHe christian religiont What books would iyoQ advise me to read on the evidence of Christianity f The pous lawy?r,'surprised it the inquiry, replied :l " Thatj is a question, sir, which you ought tai have settled long ago. You ought lifyl to nave put off a "subject soimpoW tant tottfiis late peiiod of life.' j v Mi late" saioUhjiinquirer. "jl never knew mWh about it ; but I always supposed that Christianity wasrejecledj by the great majoritV of learned meiti;i 1 intend, however now toxamine the subject thoronghly my self.

Most infidels are very ignoranl of the Scrip tures. Now, to reason on subjects with cor rectness, we 'must understand! what it is a- bout which we reason.' j in the next place, 1 consider the! internal evidence of the truth ol the $criptnre stronger than the external." " Ami where shall I begin f" inquired the unbeliever. , At the New Tesument m " NiK said the other iuat lhV beginnings at Genesis. j . j' . The. infidel bought a; commentary, went home,) and sat down fw thef study of the Scriptures. ! SHe applied all his strong and well disciplined powersj iof mind to the bible, to try rigidly but imparl tially Jits truth. As he went on m the -perusal, he received occa sional calls from his professional friend.- The tnfidel freely remarked ilipon 4hat he had read, arid stated his objections, fie liked this passage he thought .that touch ling and beautiful but he could not credit a third. One evening the Christian lawyer called, and found the unbeliever at home walking the room, with a dejected look, "his mind ap parently absorbed' in thought He continued, not noticing that any one had come iri, busi ly to pace and retrace his steps. His friend at length spoke : f j . j. ,':' '" " " You se?m, sir," said heV ; Co pe in a brown study;, "Of what are j oii 'thinking!,' "1 fiave been reading," replied the infidel, thelnoral law" I '' - f ' : H ik what do ton think! of it?1 asked his fr end.

He lived at a period comparatively barbarous, bat he has given a law, in which Che 'learning arid, sa gacity of all subsequent time can detect no flaw. Where did he get, it? Ho could not have soared so far above his age as to have- devised it himself. I am Satisfied where he obtainedit. It must have oine from Heaven. 1 am convinced-of the truth of the religion of the Bible." The fnfideUinfidel nolonger remained to his Christianity. He lived several years after this converaationj about three I believe. He con tinued lo pursue the study of the Bihlerhis views of the Christian religion expanding and growing correct. Profaneness was a- bandoned. An oath was now as offensive to him s it was familiar before.! When his former gay companions used one, he habitu ally reproved them. He remonstrated with them upon its foil v and want of meaninev ' ar : s O and said he could never imagine before, how painful profane language must be to a Christian. But did he .become a sincere . disciple of Christ f He always expressed great doubt upon that point. He could hope for nothing from the .world, and le was afraid that he might choose other pleasures from that cir cumstance without a radical change of heart. I learned these, particulars, 'a few. years ainceffrom one of the parties. The lapse of time may have caused some immaterial vari ation ; but I believe i o other.
