Truth Dreads Nothing.

He who worships at the shrine of truth cannot be bigoted. He knows truth can never suffer from investigation. It is error that loves the night, and gloomy caverns. Her dress is dark, and, in short, there is nothing but darkness about her. Darkness is her mother: and she is akin to nothing that is bright and beautiful. But truth courts investigation. Her dwelling place is in the light. Her mild, glowing countenance blushes not at the most scrutinizing gaze. While error lies trembling lest reason should make new discoveries that will weaken her, truth stands and gives man a smile of approbation for his encouragement. If you love truth, be not afraid to investigate.—Sel.
