forth , caused that the tree shot forth more vigorously afterwards ? —that the being was going through the process appointed for man ?—and that it is true , not only as regards the human race , but as regards each individual , that it is tne plan of Providence , hat man should work out his own salvation through evil ?
There is the question . However , it is needless to try to settle it : no one can form a notion what sort of a being a man would be who should never have known evil . It is enough for us to be fully persuaded that , to work for good , and by good , is all that man should attempt . The Almighty can educe good from evil ; but the man who presumes to use evil as an instrument , takes upon himself a fearful—a fatal responsibility .

OXONIAN MANIFESTATIONS OF ' THE SPIRIT !'

' The animosity which prevails here against dissenters , of every denomination , is almost surpassing belief . The laugh ( alluding to a prolonged roar of impotent malignity ) given against them on Friday , was an indication of mingled hate and fear ; a sort of anticipation that the laugh may , at no distant period , be converted into wailing and gnashing of teeth in the sacred halls of Oxford !'—See the Times , June 16 , 1834 .
When hobberclehoys , in gowns and caps , Blown out with Greek and Latin scraps , Resolve to have a roaring romp With dukes , and dolls , and May-day pomp ;
Spout verse , with action , haw and hem , Though this is poetry to them ! Applaud each brazen calf , and shake it With echoes that might well unmake it ; While to gross vice , with many a brand From foul roots burnt—that cumber
land!—They bend the abject toady ' s knee , And sound its sound morality . No ranting mob , no bedlam spite , E ' er reaches such a vulgar height ;
For fat professors , whirling whigs , Like sows among the little pigs , By unclean spirits quite possessed , And maddening at the orgie ' s zest , Grunt forth incessant exhortation .
While the last squeaks' amuse the nation ! O corporals , Serjeants , lifers , drummers , Ye who enlist the raw new-comers , Henceforth assure them— -quoting names—If they pursue war ' s desperate games , Some day they'll rise , with ardour burning , Through blood and bayonets , up to learning !
