CaMSIMOSUL EMERSON IN THE JANUARY ATLANTIC'. "It is perhaps rude, in the face of the current sentiment of Christendom, to sum up the quali ties .of a providential man, under a title applied_ but onceritt theusual rendering of history; but this we may say, in view of the pure and unde filed sweetness "antistrength -of Mr. Emerson's character, that here is a 'man christened above all his fellows with the finest spirit of grate and truth yet revealed in humanity—a man sent to be a master of regenerate humanity in, this last age of, the manifestation of - divinity in mankind." —Special Cor. Tribune. In• the reviewer's department of the N. Y. Tri bune, Emerson's article in, the January .Atiantic;• which it says, '" has certainly even surpassed: itself in its brave beginning of,the New Year",--7 is said to throw the other portions of,the number into the shade, and is termed "A wise and mas terly expOsition or the intellectual wants ,of the age. If any readers 'still regard Mr. Emerson as "a fanciful.dreamer, a poetic visionary, specula tive-mystic, they will he,clisabused of their error by, contact with the ripe • solid -sense of •this re markable production." After attentive perusals, ire-are constrained to say, that we do not 'think 'the article - worthy of any such 'praise. The tide is indefinite, :, the writer does not seem to explain what he meams, by it, and the whole discussion lacks ,unityof design, and especially that dependence of each thought upon the foregoing or the niaintliought, which marks the, close thikkeri It 'is- in some parts brilliant, but many of the sentences, are carelessly expressed, ,as_ if, the writer, thought more about an imposing sound than, about ; the real meaning. To •repeat the happy phrase of a correspondent of the AMERICAN PuEsßYTErtitiv, it. is distinguished by the "intellectual fire mitt." The extravagant praise'argues in the: reviewer a mind prepossessed in favor of the writer. • Of, course it does not, appear to reveal a ic man sent to be the master of regenerate humanity!' We cannot, in the reasonable =limits of an arti cle of this nature, speak •of all; nor one-laalf,'of that to which we take exception, but will notice a few passages. , • Atlantic, p. :—"A. controlling inflnence of the times has been the successful study of Natu ral Science. Steffens said' the religious opinions of men rest on- their' views of nature." • Then mentioning the 'principal departments otscienee, he continues:• " The narrow • sectarian cannot: read astronomy with impunity. ' The creeds of his Church shrivel like.leaves at the dbor of the observatory, and a new and healthful air regene-. rates the human mind." . This appears to be a ..pretty 4 :" solid". lump. Who are these " sectarians ?" From the fact of his mention of church and creed, we suppose he cannot mean ignorant heathens, like the Hindoos who have indeed.had their faith ehaken by the, knowledge of astronomy industriously dissemina, ted by Christian missionaries, since the- religious system of the Hindoos is committed to. a, false system of astronomy. But where is the Chris tian Church that has been' senSibly affected by the progress of this science It is true that the ignorant, clergy.of. the Catholic Church,:yet in the darkness of the middle ages, did oppose. the revelations made by Copernicus-and Galileo and others. But we never heard of , any•essential change in their creeds' arising. from it. A few may at that time have been attracted to the more enlightened and liberal Protestant Church. If he meant such a change, it would put a new sense upon the term witheirng of creeds for M. Emer son. It has never been reported that Newton, or Kepler, •to whom this science owes, much,._. or Chalmers, suffered on account of their knowledge of astronomy any diminution-of what the writer means by " narrow:sectarianism." In the con troversial and' apologetic works-of the Christian Church we never read any warning "against the observatory, nor did we ever bear of, any....of their opponents building ari observatory or endeavoring to entice the,Church near to it. 'On a,the centre ry, many Christian sects have placed the deer of the observatory quite near to that of the• church, without the most distant fear of danger. Truly a " solid" mass of sense this! "In modern Europe the middle ages were called the dark ages. Who d'ares to call then'. so now ? They are seen to be the feet on which mi,e, walk, the eyes with which ,we 'Tis one of our triumphs to have reinstated them. Their Dante and Alfred, and Wickliffe, and Abelard, and Bacon ; their Magna Charter decimal num bersAmariner's compass, gunpowder, glass, paper; and clocks, chemistry, algebra, astronomy; their Gothic architecture;.their painting,—are the de light and. taition of ours. Six hundred years ago, Roger 'Bacon eiplained the precelsion , of the equrnoxes, . . .looking over how many hor izons as far as into Liverpool and New York, announced that inadhities can - be , constructed to -drive.ships more rapidly than a whole' galley of rowers could do, nor would, they need anything , but a pilot to, gear; carriaOs to move with in credible speed, without animals, and machines to fly into the' air like birds." " Who dares to call the middle ages dark ages?" Is this bluster or ignorance? We reckon that this verdict ..that has been passed upon about ten centuries of the history of . Eu. rope still never be reversed, much less will this term 't Dark Ages". be' exchanged for that of "Light Ages." 'Between the civilization' ,of Greece and Rome and.. that of modern Germany and Holland, and France, and England, therein a great blank in histoi'Y.. The , civilization of Rome declined. When that change began, the nations of Northern Europe were almost barbit. rians, and it took centuries to civilize them. Ci vilization as represented by the arts of war, of government, of architecture, of ,engineering, of literature, was at` me time almost ;blotted out. 'Of conrse-in using the term age we do ncit mean the stage of advancement of 'a few individuals, btit the general condition of the collective Masses. Tins •is the sense in'which the term dark ages is used,its Mr. E. very well knows.- So low were the tuitions , of Enrbpe.sunk at -tliati time, that there seemed to be but little recuperative power in the degree' of civilization .that they enjoyed. When they dropped the study of the productions of their own time and went back to the "ancient THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1868. fonts of inspiration" tho cloud that hang over them was dissipated.

In slime Ithinus it is true they made" progress. The power of s a spiritual desPetisna by which such vast sums were expended in building and decorating churches, stimulated the arts or ohurzh arehitecture and of painting to a high degree. Of some of the sciences and discoveries cited as the " delight and tuition of ours," there is little to be said that will bear investigation, e. g: of their algebra. The age that peisecutcfl.

On the 23d, having completed his course of lectures, he 'preached to a full, church on the genera/ judgment. During the lectures the min: tenances of his audience at times haVe been seen radiant in sunshine, or moistened bythe dew-drop.

For, said Mr. Allen, during the last half millenium, at intervals "of2o years, there has not been lacking a class of - men sangu ine in their`belief of seeing theSaViour in His second advent: Christ's second. advent and..the last great judgment day will_ urely come.

When: however, his eldest son was to graduate with-high honor at old Har vard, the Major made up his mind to go and see what it all amounted to, -and his dutiful son—to his' honor be it spoken--.heartily encouraged the idea.

Underwood—the young collegian— was a great.favorite with Judge Winthrop—great- Freaf grandson to thp - -Governoi::—so the Judge invited both father and :son to the little select party, - which he was accustomed to to have on Commencement !lay. •The conversation turning upon travelling, and others having eipressed their opinions frely a to' its`utility, the Judge turned to the Major • saying, . - " You.havn't expressed your opinion, my dear sir. It ought to be made -too-; for your son, here„ will soon be, wanting a few thousand to spend in Europe and Asia. What do you say as a the utility of going abrOad-?"
