The Happy Hindoo.

 
MR. Carey, from India, relates a pleasing anecdote of a native Christian, whom he was called to visit. Inquiring as to the state of her mind, she replied, ‘Happy, happy! I have Christ here,’ laying her hand on the Bengalee Bible; ‘and Christ HERE,’ pressing it to her heart; ‘and Christ there,’ pointing towards heaven. Happy Christian! to whatever part of the universe she might be removed, the Lord of the universe was with her, and she was sure of His favor. ‘Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My heart and my flesh fail, but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.’
