HABITS OF LIFE.

By Jos. Clarke

By daily and hourly performance of duty, and in the frequent exercise of acts of benevolence, and piety, and devotion, and filling all the recesses from labor and care, with meditation and reading, we shut the door against the attacks of impiety, and profanity, and presumption, and lay the foundation for stability, and permanence of character.
By regular habits of living, of labor, and diet, and devotion, and usefulness, we anticipate the danger beforehand, and arm ourselves against the most malignant darts of the enemy.
Habits of irregularity, or slothfulness, in any of these things, are the doors by which Satan enters, to seduce the pliable, easy soul, which by its negligence, invites the ready foe. Jos. CLARKE.
