It needs no food ; nor does it ever feel miserable or bored. Let us ask only one question from our critics : can you have immortality at any of your worldly stores or picnics and tea parties? Has your wildest flight of imagination ever led you, ere this, to think of the possibility of omniscience? Did you ever entertain the idea that another, and eternally satisfying kind of delight, was, over and above your miserable sensegratification, within the bounds of possibility ? If your answer is in the negative, then it is best to leave these subjects to those who did not only conceive these possibilities, but actually attained to them. You may, if so advised, take to the easier course of denying them altogether!
