But the pri- mary influence is a moral one. Each man lives under a consciousness of the vioilant and dis- 170 ADAPTATION OF EXTERNAL NATURE TO ceriiing witnesses who are on every side of him ; and his conscience, kept on the alert and kept in accordance with theirs, acts both more power- fully and more purely, than if left to the decay and the self-deception of its own withering- solitude. The lamp which might have waxed dim by itself, revives its fading lustre, by con- tact and communication w...ith those which burn more brightly in other bosoms than its own ; and this law of interchange between mind and mind, forms an important adaptation in the mechanism of human society. 8. But, to revert for a moment to the revival of conscience after that its sensibilities had become torpid for a season ; and they are quick- ened anew, as if by sympathy, with the moral judgments of other men. This phenomenon of conscience seems to afford another glimpse or indication of futurity.
