WE say , in general, because sometimes superstition arises from weakness of mind, or accidental causes. — But, in general, the mind which is conscious of guilt, is, by that very sensation, prepared to see ghosts, devils, and furies, and all the armies of terror. It is probable that Brutus had never seen Cæsar's ghost at Emathia, had he not been conscious to himself that he was the assassin and murderer of Cæsar. It is easy to see, from these observations, how necessary it is, that we keep our minds free from guilt; that we may enjoy contentment and happiness.
