produced the desired effect; and for more than twenty years Roswell Gardiner has been a very successful miller, on a large scale, in one of the western counties of what is called “the Empire State.”  We do not think the sobriquets of this country very happy, in general, but shall quarrel less with this, than with the phrase of “commercial emporium,” which is much as if one should say “a townish town.”

Roswell Gardiner has never wavered in his faith, from the time when his feelings were awakened by the just view of his own insignificance, as compared to the power of God!  He then learned the first, great lesson in religious belief, that of humility; without which no man can be truly penitent, or truly a Christian.  He no longer thought of measuring the Deity with his narrow faculties, or of setting up his blind conclusions, in the face of positive revelations.  He saw that all must be accepted, or none; and there was too much evidence, too much inherent truth, a morality too divine, to allow a mind like his to reject the gospel altogether.  With Mary at his side, he has continued to worship the Trinity, accepting its mysteries in an humble reliance on the words of inspired men.

The End.
