I love to read, another cries, Those monstrous, fashionable lies In other words those novels, Composed of kings and queens and lords, Of border-wars and Gothic hords, That used to live in hovels. No no, cries one, we've had enough Of suh coulouned love-sick stuir, To craze the fair creation; Give us some recent foreign news, Of Uusi.ui?, Turks, the Greeks and Jews, Or any other nation.

Foreign hands manufacture for us broad-cloths, silks, fine linens, beautiful porcelains and less expensive wares. Other hands, and other climes, at a distance of half round the world, gather for us the fragrant spices, teas, eollee and aromatic gums. Chemists of another language elaborate our most useful medicines; and we raise bread for those who live and die ignorant of our individual existence. How connected are the works of Creation. Over the wide spread Zones and spacious continents are found the fields of vegetable life and the abode of animated nature. So that as fast as we turn the leaves of the book

I of nature, new lessons demand our attenj lion and research. How endless the variety of the vegetable kingdom; and what a 'subject to delight and improve the human I mind is that of scientific Botany. Every object, from the wide-branching oak, or towering cedar, that stands the pride of; the forest, and braves the tempest's rage through revolving centuries, to the hunib lost flowers with winch nature decks and variegates her verdant lawns, is arranged in its appropriate place in the orders, genei ra, and species of botanical classification How interesting the knowledge of what is so beneficial. What contributions are made by the forest, fruits, grains, grapes, flowers, seeds, leaves, roots, barks and ms, ci her directly or indirectly, to hu- ' wants.

But the earth upon which we journey, traverses nlore than six times this distance in a single j ear. So that, if a car had started at the birth of Christ to run around the orbit of the earth, it could not vet have accomplished a single circuit; though more than the lifetime of two Methuselahs! In every science, to which we have adverted, j man is interested Irom the constitution of i his nature. Let us proceed to consider oth er relations. Man, is a solitary individual, is comparatively weak and inefficient, and i unable to perform those vast nchievments, that he can in connt'ciion with his fellow man. Hence, social and political compacts have been performed. History is the science that teaches us how political organizations have originated, been sustained, and overthrown. Hence, todiscipline the mind, and give impulse and stimulus to effect act ion, i.istory ranks among important studios. From history we learn what conduces to lim staliiiiy of governments, and what causes hasten their dissolution. X Slates-j man cau sneak adisedly respecting the ' adoption or rejection of anv great ni.asuie of State policy, if ignorant of its tendencies ' as aught by the experience of past eon federa.i ns.

The Book of books reveals this, and unfolds the principles of Divine government, and proth'is to the short lived son? and daughters of fellow man, unending life in the world lo come. It not only gives a history of ihe past in uuequaled narratives, but unseals the fut ire of humaij des.i;y.

Its voice is a voice ot power. Often its denun"iations flashing upon the conscience deter the hall-fumed purpose from ripening into execution, and holds man back from deeds of darkness and death. It teaches that nothing compromises and endangers our eternal welfare, bu', iniquity and transgression; and that all the ills that flesh is heir to are but liirht aiiliolions which, if submissively endured, result in an "Exceeding great and eternal weight .of pjorv."
