Talking of to day, with , ihe temarked, that he had eve . ry sense but common sense, and made light , of this deficieney. .How. frequently do we , hear people do this, as ifthe possession of , talent or various fine qualities can atone for its, absence! '.Common sense is not only , poaitively necessary to render' talept avsila ble by directing its propor. application, but is indispensable ss a monitor to warn men a gainst error. Without this guide the pns- . sions and feelings will be ever leading men astray; and even those with the best natural dispositions will fall into error. f Common sense is to the individual what the compass is to the mariner it enables him to steer safely through the rocks, shoals and whirl-; pools that intersect his way. 'J Were the -lives of criminals accurately known, I am ' persuaded that it would be found, that from , a want of common sense had proceeded their " guiltt for a clear perception of crime would , do' more W cheek its: rsBrpBiration, than the . - gootiness ot near witicu i nv iiouuenuv ..... ureed as a . rrereouve. agaiiuii. iu , . uonscw . ence is the only substitute for common sense, ' bu. eyeri this will not supply iu place in all I eases.' Conscience will lead a man to re pent or atone for crime, but eommon sense will preclude his committing it, by enabling him to aay so and so are very clever, or very cunning, -i-ro well ' ealculated lo make thehr way in tho world. This opinion seems J to me to be a severe satire on the world; for, as cunning can only appertain to a moan intellect, to which it serves si a poor anb st'itute for sense, it argues ill for the wot Id to -suppose it can be taken in by it. . I never -knew a sensible or a good person who was eunning; and I have known so, many weak and wicked ones who possessed this despi- " cable quality, that I hold i. in abhorrence, except in err younf children, to wljont Providence gives it, before they arrive at good sense. iMdy Bletrington.
