BABY BUNN.
N. P. Willis says of the poem annexed, "It is
addressed to an idolized child, by its pet-name,
and though beautiful throughout, it has some two
or three passages of a very rare originality. The
writer of it, (as I learn from a letter of a lady who
encloses it to me) was a factory girl, who by the
labor of her own hands, secured the money for
her education. She is now twenty-four years of
age and, supporting herself by various uses of her
pea. She (Josie H.) is yet to be famous, lam
very sure."
Winsome baby Bunn!
Brighter than the stars that rise
In the dusky evening skies,
Browner than the robin's' wing,
Clearer than the woodland spring,
Are the eyes of baby Bunn!
Winsome baby Bunn!
Stele, mother, smile!
Thinking softly all the while
Of a tender, blissful day.
When the dark eyes, so like these,
Of the cherub on your knees,
Stoleyour girlish heart away.
Oh! the eyes of baby Bunn I
Rarest mischief will they do,
When once old enough . to steal
What their father stele from you:
Smile, mother, smile!
Winsome baby Bunn!
Milk-white lilies half unrolled,
Set insalyees of gold,
Cannot make his forehead fair,
ll'Wilts ?Inge of yellow hair!
Sweet berry cleft In twain,
By '.a wedge of pearly grain,
Is the mouth of baby Bunn!
Winsome baby Bunn!
Weep, mother, weep
For the lit tle one asleep
With his head against your breast!
Never In the coming years,
Though he seeks for ,et with tears,
iVill he find so sweet a rest.
Oh, the brow of baby Bunn!
Oh, the scarlet mouth of - Bunn!
One must wear its crown of thorns,
Drink its cup of gall must one!
Though the trembling lips shall shrink,
White with anguish as they drink,
And the temple sweat with pain—
Drops of blood like purple rain—
Weep, mother, weep.
Winsome baby Bunn!
Not the sea-shell's palest tinge,
Not the daisy's rose-white fringe,
Not the softestrfaintest glow
Of the sunset on the snow,
Is more beautiful and sweet
Than the wee pink hands and feet
Of the little baby Bunn—
Winsome baby Bunn?
Feet like these may lose the way,
Wandering blindly from the right,
Pray, and sometimes will your prayers
Be to him like golden stairs
Built through darkness into light.
Oh, the dimpled feet of Bunn,
In their silken stockings dressed I
Oh, the dainty bands of Bunn,
Bid like rose-leaves in your breast!
These will grasp at jewels rare,
But to find theft' empty air;
Those shall falter many a ay,
Bruised and bleeding by the way,
Ere they reach the land of rest!
Pray, mother, pray!
WALKING IN LOVE,
Oa PHIL BARTON, THE HUNCHBACK.
There could not have been a more beautiful day.
To be sure, there had been a few clouds early in
the morning, hut, as Nelly Warren declared, there
was only enough water in them for the sun to wash
his face, and give his little flower children .each a
drink. And now everything was so bright and
beautiful, and every little drop dancing on the
grass blades, was shaking and twinkling to think
what a fright it had given the boys and girls, when
it was only "playing rain."
For you must know that it was a holiday in the
little village academy, and all the scholars were
going to take their dinners, and spend the happy
day in the woods.
It was a very pleasant sight when the children
started , in company from the academy gate.
There were such sunny Smiles playing "hide and
seek ' 4 in the merry dimples—such bright eyes—
blue, black, and gray—such nimble, dancing feet,
and oh l such a chatter,, it would have utterly dis
couraged a full convention of magpies and mock
ing birds, if they had been within hearing dis
tance.
Bob Patterson would walk with pretty Belle
Hamilton, and very politely carry the basket with
the nice sandwiches and cake packed cosily with
in. Charley Graham was looking for Nelly War
ren, who was not really so very pretty, but was so
good, that all her little mates would have been
quite offended with any one who did not think her
beautiful. Her Taco was quite sunburned and
freckled, and her eyes were certainly gray, but
she had a kind and loving heart, was always ready
to do anything to make others happy, in short, the
*hole'secret of little Nelly's beauty was, that she
tried to "walk in love."
"Come, Nelly," cried Charley, " let me have
your basket, and I'll hold your little brother's
hand, too. Come, they will get ahead of us I"
" Charley," whispered Nelly , "no one will walk
with poor Phil Barton."
"Well, I don't want to," said Susy Gaud,
pouting, "he walks so slow, and is so awkward,
and then he isn't full of fun, like the rest of q's."
" I don't see why he wanted to come," said
Fanny Smythe, "if I were such a scare-a-crow cis
he, I'd go and live with the owls, and never show
thyself
in daylight."
" Oh, Fanny," exclaimed Nelly, "how could
you? I'm almost sure he heard you," and she
looked anxiously after a little deformed boy, wlip
limped slowly'away from the group.
Fanny looked a little uneasy, and turned away,
atm in arm with Busy.
" Now, do come, Nelly," said Charley.
mind Phil—he's used to walking alone."
"Oh," said Nelly, almost crying, "he's been
talking of this walk all the week, and he thou ht
he was going to be so happy. Now, I'm afraid he
won't enjoy it at all. I believe I must walk with
him, Charley," she said, half pleadingly.
" Well,. Nelly Warren, you're a perfect goose I"
cried Charley, angrily, "and always do the queer
est, most provoking things in• the world," and he,
too, turned quickly away, and hastened after the
rest.
What a change a few angry words can make.
Neily thought, for a moment, it was growing dark,
and was ring to rain, but it was only a little
mistiness in her own eyes, and hastily passing the
bank of her little brown baud across them, she ran
on to Phil.
The poor boy was standing quite alone, with a
most pitiful look of patient sadni in his great
brown eyes. -
" Will you walk with me, Phil?" asked Nelly,
in her most cheerful tone.
The boy started, and said with a sad, but grate
ful smile, "No, Nelly, thank you just the same,
but I think I won't go. I don't feel quite well."
The tears overflowed Nelly's eyes, as she took
his poor, thin hand. "I know all about it, Phil.
You must not mind what the girls said. They,
did not mean it—they didn't think, that's all.
Now don't be angry, Phil."
" I am not angry," said the boy, very quietly,
"but I suppose I mast be a perfect fright, and
I'll spoil all the fun for the rest."
" Not at all," cried Nelly, emphatically. "Why,
Phil, you have a very pleasant face. You know
all the boys and girls like you just as soon as they
really know you, but sometimes you're proud, just
a little, and turn away from them, and that pro
vokes them, and hurts their feelings, so they won't
try to go with you any, more. Don't you know it,
•' Perhaps it is so," said Phil, very humbly,
"but I always think they're kind, because they're
so sorry for me, and all the time they are longing
to be somewhere else. Oh! Nelly, you don't
know how hard"—Phil burst into tears.
Melly tried to say something, but could only
cry too, and it was just the .best thing she could
do. There is no sympathy so sweet and consoling
as just to " weep with those that Weep." So after
the little outburst was over, Phil felt much bet
ter, and was easily persuaded to go on with Nelly.
Indeed, the whole aspect of things seemed changed,
for any way seems pleasant, if we are only " walk
ing in love."
The party, who were some distance in advance,
waited at the entrance of the wood for Nelly and
her friend. "Isn't she a curious girl ?" said Susy
Gifford. "I wouldn't be so odd for all the world,'
said Fanny Smythe. "She is just the best girl
in the academy," said .Charles Graham, whobe
gan to be thoroughly sorry for his rude speech.
"Yes, that sho is," echoed Belle Hamilton,
with an affectionate generosity, which made her
look prettier than ever.
Now they all went into the cool, green woods,
fragrant with wild flowers, and the odorous pine
trees. As they skipped along with singing and
laughter, Phil quietly gathered the sweetest and
freshest blossoms, and made them into a wreath
for Nelly. But she noticed that, In the little
bouquet be carried in his own band, although - the
flowers were beautiful, every stem, was crooked,
and a great many had strange, misshapen leaves.
" Why do you pick flowers with such crooked
stems and leaves 7' asked Nelly.
" They are like me,"
replied poor, patient Phil,
with a smile that made Nelly feel like bursting
into tears..
" Don't feel bad, Nelly," he added, quickly.
" I like just such flowers. I like to look at them,
and think that, perhaps, if I try very bard, I may
have a beautiful soul, which will some time come
out, and make me pleasant and lovely, just like
these sweet flowers on their crooked stems. All
these kind of plants, Nelly, always make me think
of very homely persons who have beautiful
thoughts."
Nelly looked sympathizing, and was - glad Phil
was pleased, though she did not exactly under
stand the odd fancies of the boy, who had never
known what it was to be careless and happy, and
who was thoughtful far beyond his years.
The rest of the morning passed very happily.
The boys and girls were very good-natured after
all, and following Nelly's example, were all so
kind to Phil, that it was, by far, the happiest day
he bad known in weeks.
And Phil himself was never more anxious to
please. He knew just where the prettiest flowers
grew, and gathered them for the girls. He made
little bridges across all the damp places, that they
might not wet their feet, and w ready to carry
all shawls and baskets that weir 'imposed on his
good-nature. In fact, since Nelly had told him
that he was apt to be cold and proud, he had been
trying to overcome it, aud to judge from the kind
looks and pleasant words showered upon him, he
was already reaping his reward.
Only once, as they were looking for a pleasant
encampment, where they might eat dinner, Belle
Hamilton exclaimed, " Who gave Phil so much to
carry? It is too bad."
" Oh," said Fanny Smythe, in &whisper, which
was a little too loud, " that's all he's good for.
Don't the camels always carry something?" and
the thoughtless girl glanced at the hump on poor
Phil's back.
" Oh, Fanny!" exclaimed Nelly, as she looked
at the changing color in Phil's face, and saw how
his lip trembled, When he bravely attempted his
old patient smile. Fanny was really much abashed
for a few minutes, and Phil was taken into extra
favor by the rest of the kind-hearted company.
I should make my story too long, if I should
tell you all that was done throughout that happy
day—the merry games that were played—the
wonderful stories that were told—the fairy bowers
that were made, and the sweet, wild strawberries
that were picked for tea. Neither have I time
to tell you of all the kind. acts and words of the
boys and girls who, like Nelly, were trying to
" walk in love." There is only one thing more
which you may like to hear about Phil.
When they were on the way home, a very , mer
ry, but very tired party, Fanny Smythe suddenly
exclaimed, "Oh, I have lost my coral pin that my
aunt gave me on my birth-day. What shall I do?"
and she burst into tears.
All the boys and girls gathered around, full of
sympathy. But they were all so tired, and it was
so late, no one offered to go back. Even little
Nelly looked wistfully at the 'village roofs,_just
visible through the trees, and could not find cou
rage to volunteer for the search. •
"I'll tell you what, Fanny," said Charley Gra
ham, "I'll get up very early to-morrow morning,
and look all over, wherever we've been. I'm sure
I'll find it, for no one goes in the woods but just
us boys and girls, and I'll have it for you to-mor
row, by school-time."
"Oh ! I'm sure it won't be found," sobbed
Fanny, "or it will be all broken in pieces. I shan't
sleep a wink to-night."
" Well," said Bob Patterson, " it is getting so
dark in the woods now, we certainly could not
find it. It is just nonsense to think of it, but if
you'll only wait till to-morrow, I'll go up with
Charley."
"And I," and I," said one or two other voices.
There was no other way, and Fanny, with some
very ungracious words about disobliging people,
went sobbing homeward, making every one around
her miserable.
No one noticed that Phil was missing from the
group, but as they slowly entered the village street,
Fanny still loudly lamentingi—an eager voice was
heard, crying, " Fanny, Fanny," and looking
around, poor Phil was discovered, limping as fast
as he could, holding up the lost pin.
"Why, Phil Barton," cried a chorus of voices,
"did you go back? Where did you find it?"
" By the brook," panted Phil.
" Way back to the brook," cried they, in sym
pathizing surprise, while Fanny blushed crimson.
"Poor, dear Phil!" said Nelly softly, and she
thought of the lovely flowers on the crooked stems.
" Phil, you're splendid," cried Charley Graham,
impulsively, "let's be friends," and he shook
bands warmly with the pale, tired boy, and in
sisted on walking home 'with him.
BUt first, Fanny must speak with him, and from
her painful blushes, and his embarrasi'ment, they
knew she was asking his forgiveness, but no one
liked Fanny the less for that.
.None of the boys and girls forgot the lesson of
that day, nor how very sweet 'it was 4to "walk in
love." Especially had every one a new liking foi•
Phil, and the next Sabbath, as in the chapter for
the day, were read the sweet words of the coining
of Christ--" who shall change our vile body tliat
it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,'?
—many a glance of tenderness was directed to the
pew where sat little Phil. His hands were clasped
tightly together, his large eyes were dreaming of
something far away, , and on his pale lips rested
such a sweet, peaceful-smile, that Nelly knew the
flower was blossoming, and that when Phil had a.
little longer "walked in love," God would make
him beautiful forever.

Ir I HAD MINDED MY MOTHER
I went a few weeks since into a jail to see a
young nian who had once been a Sabbath-school
scholar.
The keeper took a large bunch of keys and led
us through the long, gloomy halls, unlocking one
door after another, until at length he opened the
door of the room where sat the young man we had
come to see. The walls of the room were of coarse
stone, the floor of thick plank, and before the
windows were strong iron bars.
Without, all was beautiful; the green fields, the
sweet flowers, and the singing birds were as lovely
as ever; but this young man could enjoy none of
these—no, never again could he go out, for he
was condemned to death! Yes, he had killed a
man, and now he himself must die. Think of it,
only twenty years old, and yet a murderer !
1 sat down beside him and talked with him.—
" Oh," said he, as the tears rolled down his cheeks,
"1 did not mean to do it, but I was drunk : then
I got angry, and before I knew what I was about,
I killed him ! Oh, if I had minded what my
Sabbath-school teacher said, if I had minded my
mother, I should never have come to this—l
should have never been here!"
It would make your heart sore, as it did mine,
to see and talk with him. Once he was a happy,
playful child like you; 'now he is a poor, con
demned young , man. He did not mind his mother,
did not govern his temper, and as he grew
,older
he went with bad boys, who taught him bad ha
The following incidents in the life of Dr. Sa
muel Hanson Cox, one of the leading Presbyterian
ministers of our country, are new to us, and will
doubtless be so to most of our readers. 'They are
communicated by Dr. Marselus to the Christian In
telligencer, and he vouches for their perfect accu
racy.
A pious mother in Israel, of the. Presbyterian
church, had a beloved daughter, who had been
carefully and prayerfully instructed in the truths
of the Gospel, but - who,',contrary to the wishes and
expectations of her parent, was married to a an
belonging to the Society of Friends. The first
child of this marriage was supposed, by the attend
ing physician, and others ,who were present, to
be still-born,_ as no symptom of life could be dis
covered. But the mother, or rather the grand
mother of the child, thought she discovered some
tokens of vitality, and made known her disco
veries to the physician who ridiculed the idea, and
persisted in the opinion he had already expressed.
Still, however, the grandmother persevered in her
attention to the new-born infant, until all doubt
was removed. The child lived. With rapture
she exclaimed, " This child shall yet live to be a
Presbyterian minister." She resolved that no ef
forts on her part should be wanting to bring about
this desirable end. Accordingly, she took upon
herself the pleasing task of instructing him in those
truths which she held`dear, and from which she
gathered the richest consolation. With parental
anxiety, she watched the developments of his
mind in early youth, and often wrestled with
God in fervent prayer for His blessing upon her
efforts, that she might enjoy the privilege of wit
nessing his saving conversion, and his consecration
to the service of the Saviour in the work of the
ministry. Her prayers were:heard. Her antici
pations were realized. She lived to see him
brought as a penitent sinner to the foot of the cross,
rejoicing in the hope of forgiven sin, and enter
upon his preparatory studies for the ministry of
reconciliation; and then, in a good old age, with
faith and hope in lively exercise, she could ex
claim, with pious Simeon, "Lord, now lettest thou
thy servant deparq in peace, for mine eyes have
seen thy salvation!" In process of time, this child
of many prayers and of tender solicitude became
an ambassador of the Prince of peace, has for
many years labored with signal success in this city,
and still continues to preach " Christ Jesus, and
Him crucified," in the city of Brooklyn, with in
creasing usefulness; and many, very many, will no
doubt appear at the great day of judgment, as the
seals of his ministry, and as crowns of his rejoicing.
John Wesley, having to travel some distance in
a stage coach, fell in with a pleasant-tempered,
well informed officer. His conversation was
sprightly and entertaining, but frequently mingled
with oaths. When they were about to take the
last stage, Mr. Wesley took the .officer apart, and
after expressing the pleasure .be had enjoyed in
his company, told him he was thereby encouraged
to ask of him a very great favor. " I would take
a, pleasure in obliging you," said the officer, "and
I am sure you will not make an unreasonable re
quest."
" Then?' said Mr. Wesley, " as we have to travel
together some- time, I beg that if I should so far
forget myself as to swear,, you will kindly reprove
me." - The officer immediately saw the motive,
felt the force of the request, and with a smile
thanked Mr. Wesley.
A NEW PREACHER FOR THE REA.SSES
A new preacher, by name Richard Weaver,
formerly a prize-fighter and a collier in the North,
has appeared in London, and is producing very
deep and wide-spread impressions by open air
addresses, on large masses of the population.
He was announced first of all by a handbill on the
afternoons, to "preach" and "sing," in the Cum
berland Market. And "sing," as wel as "preach,"
he can do to the melting down of hundreds.
One night, addressing a number of poor men
and women on the words, "They shall return to
Zion with songs," he said: "I was always fond of
singing; I believe I was born singing. But the
songs I used to sing are not the songs I love now.
"Oh my dear men, you sing Britons never,
never shall be slaves;' but what slaves you are to
your own lusts, to the devil, to the landlord'
"I used to sing, 'We won't go home till morn
ing;' the 1 :11 1 2.T.T."d ;oyes tt; hear that. I've sung
that five nights together, and spent £l4 on one
Spree, and got turned out at the end; But I've
learned better aorta s ; tell you some of the
songs I love now. Here's one:
' , Oh happy day that fixed=nly choice,
On thee, my Saviour and my God.
"And here's another:
w There is a fountain, filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins."
The Revival, whiCh furnishes these particulars,
goes on with its narrative thus :
The speaker quoted with wonderful rapidity,
but without the semblance of irreverence, at least
a dozen hymns, or portions of hymns, some of
which he sung, the meeting taking up the chorus.
Then he related the following anecdote, with a
pathos and tenderness of voice and manner which
told how affectionate a heart and how delicate a
mind may be developed, by the grace of God, in 'a
man 'employed . in the hardest *wk and once
addicted to the grossest vice:
"I knew a collier in Staffordshire who 'had one
dear little girl, the last of four or five. This
child was the light of his eyes; and as he came
froth the pit at night she used to meet him at the
door of his cot to welcome him home. One day
when he came in to dinner, he missed his little
—darling, and going into the house with his heavy
• coal-pit clogs, his wife called him up Stairs. The
stillneSs of the place and her'quiet voice made his
heart sick, and a foreboding of evil came upon
Ilis wife - told him thetwere going to'lose
their little lamb—she had had an apoplectinfit,
and the doctor said she couldn't live. As the
tears made furrows doNitn his black face, and as
he leaned over his dying darling, she said, 'Daddy,
sing
Here is no rest—is no rest
Congregationalist.
'No, my child, a can't 'sing, I'm choking.; I
sing.t 'OIP do, daddy, sing 'Here 's no
rest.' The poor fellow tried to sing (preacher
sings,)
"Bat his voice couldiN make way against his
trouble. Then be tried - again, for he wanted to
please his sweet little girl (preacher sings)
Again his voice was choked with weeping; but
the little one whispered, 4 Qow, daddy, sing,
"Sweet is the promise." AA.d, the poor father
goes on again
-4 sweet is the promise I read in thy April,
Blessed are they who have died Lord;
They have been called to receitetr-tbeir reward,
There is rest—there is rest! ?%i
cc 'That 's it, daddy,' cried the,:fahild, 'that 'a
it;' and with her arms round therlher's neck
she died happy in the Lord."
We cannot describe the thrillineeffect of Mr.
Weaver's singing in the midst of pieaehing—it
is so natural—so free from everythmg like pre
meditation or aiming at effect—it is like living
water flowing from a man filled - with the Holy
Ghost. „, 4,
He is clearly neither an Arminiin nor an An
tinomian. "if you come to -G.ttrist, -grace: will
begin and glory will finish it. -Spurgeon believes

be said, when drunk, he killed a man; and now

AILROAD SWITCH
. .
The switch-te der was weary, and as he sat at
his post, his eye were heavy, and he fell asleep.
The train came titundering along, and, twit neared
the place, the ni in' heard the whistle,and arose
to adjustthe switch * for the train. e was - just
too late: He twang, aside; the cars moved -on,
were thrown fro qi the track, and a scene of death
and disaster was he consequence. .
It was only a, little switch. A bar of iron, a
:1,
few feet in lengt '
which opened at one end mai/
an inch to allow he flange of the wheels to pass
through the nar ow. way. Only a few seconds
more would have laced the little bar at the, right
angle, and all voila have been well. - But the
few seconds wenklost; the little bar.was out, of
place; and the train, with its invaluable freight, of
life and property f , was nearly all bruised in amass
of death and ruin: '
A young , man Was once under a state of deep
inquiry about his, eternal interests. Two or three
of his companions learned that she was going to
prayer-meeting, alid 'they determined to changehis
purpose. They, persuaded •him Only this once, to
go to the accustomed place of resort . He finally
yieldutl: They plied their arts of amusements,
gayety, and pleasure, and bound him at length in
the snares of a female companion. It was his fatal
,
moment. In a few. .
weeks from that time he had
committed inurdA., and folloWed the deed with in
stantaneous self-destruction.
A young man had appointed to meet some friends
to go to - one of the public gardens in London on
Sabbath evening.' While waiting at the place as
signed for the rendezvous in one of the streets, a
Christian friend, a lady, passed by, and asked hint
where be was , going. He was ashamed to.confess
his intention, and-readily yielded to' her invitation
to go with her, to church. It was the turning
point with him. lie was arrested , by'Divine truth,
Was brought under a sense of sin, became a Chris
tian—a faithful missionary, a devoted and eialted
hero and apostle of Christ -L-and died a 'martyr on
the shores of Erremanga,a victim to heathen rage,
but a sacrifice , of hive to his Redeemer. It'was

A young man went to visit' his friends on New-
Year's day,'according to the custom of New York:
He had abandoned.the intoxicating cup. 'Relied
suffered from its evils, and was a sworn total-absti
nent. He uniformly refused to taste or handle-un
til he called upon.a young.:lady who, finding her
invitations.all, declined, ,hegan to banter; him with
a want, of manhdod, and plied her ridicule, so far
that he at last yielded. It was the settinc , of the
0
MEM
switch; -'He was taken •hone •a state of in
toxication ;, and a few months afterwards he died,
uttering terrihie curses upon the tempter who had
been the cause of his ruin..
A youngman who had been prayerfully trained,
came to the city to enter a place of business. His
fellow-clerks invited him to join in their pleasures
and pastimes. For awhile he resisted, but at
length he thought he would go to the theatre only
once, just to ,plersc his friends, and see what_ a
theatre was. The, devil was the switeb-tender
that night, and the course of that young , man, sub
sequently lay through . the paths of extravagance,
gambling, shame, and the grave.
Two young men were walking along one eve
ning, towards a prayer-meeting, when they were
accosted by several acquaintances, who were on
their way, to a place of usual resort. They 'per
suaded them to join them, but they refused. Fi
nally one of thenvoonsented, and turned 'aside only
once more, for an evening of-worldly pleasure,nnd
let his friend go to the prayer-meeting alone.
One found peace, with God; but hia companion
became hardened, and in three months,, while his
associate on Ahat eventfUl night was honoring his
Master by his faithful and consistent life, he was
the inmate of a prison, awaiting the penalty of the

Mr. Darwin has spent twenty y ears - i n -elabera
tion of a theory, according , to Which the oyster,
the elephant, the eagle, and man —in a 'word, all
animals, vertebrate and invertebrate, spring from
the same original parent! Professor Agassiz has
so brayed this theory in a mortar with a pestle,
that its anther will have some, trouble tofind its
fraaments. In his "Contributions to the Natu
ral History of the United States," from advanced
sheets of which extracts are given in' the
,July
number of the American, Journal of Eciente and
Arts, he says among other things:
" The Arguments presented by' Darwin have
not.made the slightest impression on my mind,
nor modified in any way the views I have already
propounded."
" Had Mr. Darwin or his followers furnished a
single fact to show that, individuals change
,in the
course, of time in such a manner as to produce, at
last, species different from those known before,
the state of the case might be different.'
"The origin of all the 'diversity among living
beings remains a mystery as totally unexplained
as if the book of Mr. Darwin had never been writ
ten,- for no theory, unsupported by fact, however
plausible it may appear, can be admitted in Sci
ence."
Sometimes, Messrs. Editors, we are reproached
with the diversities of opinion that exist among
theologians with respect to the various doctrines in
the word of God. But, assuredly, our sensitive
ness to such reproach need not be very acute, nor
our apprehensions very great of evil from the un
believing votaries of science, when we see them at
variance even upon the nature—nay, upon - the
very definition of species. The want of unity
among men of science upon almost every important
point, and the endless diversities among unbe
lievers and oPponents of revealed religion ought to
remind them of the adage, that peopl who live in
glass houses ought to repress their fondness for
throwing stones.
Attention is invited to thefollowing statement and accompany..
lug letters of recommendation and testimonials, in, favor of these
celebrated Watches. A gold. medal was awarded the Company by
the American Institute, at New York, in 1857. The Company also
received the firstPreinium—a gold medal—from the Fra*elin In
stitute, Philadelphia, in 1858.
, Thebe Wat Ches have now been in the market for -nearly ten years,
dining which time they have been tested as to accuracy, durability,
and reliability in every conceivable manner,and have proved them
selves to be the Most satisfactory thnepieces ever offered to the
'public. This Minn has been brought about by a strict application
of mechanical science to the construction of the Watch.frent Revery
inception, rendering it, when finished, mathematically correct in all
its proportions, and necessarily as perfect a timekeeper as it is :poi
Mble to make. .
The Company have tested their Watches in many instances by
actual daily noting, and the result of .this test has been that they
have exhibited a rate equal in regularity to the best •marine ohm.
N. B. We have just Introduced anew dee of Watch, elaborately
finished, and thinner than any we have hitherto :produced, with
several improvements calculated to WHIM the greatest accuracy of
performance, and to prevent the usual acoldents and derangements
to which foreign Watches are liable. . •

" Suffice it to say-that he: (Darwin) has lost
sight of the most striking, of the features, and the
one which pervades the whole, namely, that there
runs throughout nature,unmistakable evidences of
thOught, corresponding to the mental operations
of our own minds, and therefore intelligible to us
as thinking beings, and unaccountable on, any other
basis than that they owe their existence to the
working of intelligence." " There are naturalists
who seem to look upon Ate idea of creation, that
is, a manifestation of an intellectual power by mate
rial ' means as a kind of bigotry,
forgetting,no
doubt, that whenever they carry out a thought of
their own they'do something akin to creating, un
less they look upon their lacubrations as some
thing in which their own individuality is not con
cerned, but arising without an intervention of their
mind in consequence of the working of some
bundles of forces' about which they know no
thing themselves. And let such men are willing
