A PICTURE OF THE TIMES.

The following has been before in print, but however well the picture might have answered to its time, none will pretend to deny, but it will suit the present state of society.—Phil. Times.
“Honesty has fled from the world, and Sincerity has fallen asleep. Piety has hidden herself, and Justice cannot find the way. The helper is not at home, and Charity lies sick. Benevolence is under arrest, and Faith is nearly extinguished. The Virtues go a begging, and Truth has long since been buried. Credit is turned lazy, and Conscience is pinned to the wall.”
