Ka lsas C'itv Star. Certainty and Probability. Moral 'eertaintv vnav w ilnflnrwl In o rough way to be that degree of certainty which is produced hv a nrennndernnen f the probabilities. Moral certainty is the highest degree of certainty that it is pos sible for the human mind to attain, except DerhaDS in the exact sciences In v,a purely abstract sciences, those iu which conclusions are aeaucea by reasoning alone, there is nosnch thing asabsolute certainty, and in what mav not inannrnnri.itelir ) denominated the mixed sciences there is little it anything that can with truth be affirmed to be morally certain. This is nroved bv the different, vietra anil the changing theories of men eminent in the medical world and by the conflict of opinion which has existed, and ia likely always to exist, among the greater law yers and the wisest judges and among the greatest statesmen. The degree of prob ability may be verv frreat. crent. pnmmh indeed, to produce firm conviction, and yet aiuer an, mere is no aDsoiute certainty. Men must act upon probability, and he Who Can best illdtrenf Ihn Wf.irrlit onil fn.. of probabilities is, in the practical affairs 01 me, ine stronger and most successful of men. n men acted only on absolute cer tainty the affairs of life would lie confine? within a very narrow compass.
