A LOOKING-GLASS.

A CERTAIN religious paper spoke of a certain transaction, for which a subscriber ordered his paper stopped, of which the editor says:—

“As he was not present on that occasion, and of course has no personal knowledge of the facts which we have stated, and as there is no other publication that is inclined to state all these facts that should be known, his action probably indicates that he does not wish to know more than he does. This is a lamentable thing for a Christian to confess about himself.”

Without regard to the merits of the case to which reference is made, in which we are not concerned, the editor has very happily stated his point. We call it a looking-glass, because, if well considered, it might enable many people to see themselves when they refuse to read a paper because it does not coincide with their feelings.
