We are tee fend of showing out In our

heir extravagance is bringing ruin in our
families. When you can induce your sons
te prefer young women ler their real worth,
rather than their show : when you can cct
them te cheese a wife who can make a geed
leaf of bread and a geed pound or butter, in
preference te a girl who does nothing but
dance about in her silks and laces, then, gon gen

until we begin the work ourselves, it Is vain
te expect better times.

Judge Walter Franklin Give, tbe Grand Jury
men a Farmer.' AddreM.
At the August quarter sosslens or the same
year, Judge Walter Franklin, or Lancaster
county, indulged in extended remarks te
the grand Jury upon the subject of agricul
tural repairs. The membera of the grand
inquest were se well pleased with it that
they secured its publication. It seems that
an act of the legislature had been recently
passed te promote domestic manufactures
andagrlculture ; and providing for a county
appropriation te societies organized and ex
hibitions given for this puriose. In view of
tbe arrangements new making ler the fall
fair in Lancaster en a scale et great magni
tude, these extracts from Judge l-'rauklln's
charge te the grand jury of elden time will
be read with great Interest :
1 wish te Impress you, gentlemen, with the
importance of this subject, as It atlects the
Vital interests or our country ; particularly at
a time when our foreign markets are almost
destroyed, aud we must learn te establish
our prosperity en tbe interchange et com

produce a solid Independence, teach us the
value of our connections with one another,
and bind us in bends or mutual Intercut
The struggle has heretofore been (and a fa

deavor new must be hew te live in comfort
and plenty.
The consumption and use or the necessa

of people, and the demands for the materials
of domestic manufactures, cannot fall te af

allty ei our farmers ; and yet the most cele
brated agriculturalists in Kngland, Scotland
and Ireland are se convinced of the (act fiem
actual experience that it is maintained te
be "the most Important discovery lu agri
culture which modern times have pro
duced." The application of salt te our fields as ma
nure Is new under ery extensive experi
ment. There is no douei ei lis euicacy, uui
It requires experience bs te quantity per acre
and the kinds of soil the must suitable. This
is net a new discovery, for its application te
land as manure has been known before and
at the tiiuoef our blessed savieur's appear
ance upon earth. In SU Luke's gospel It Is
said "salt is geed, but if the salt has lest its
savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned T It Is
uelther lit ter the land nor vet for the dung
hill ; but men cast It out." Its uses, both
for cattle nud manure, can be traced through
the writings of the most eminent among the
Kenians down te the most celebrated chem
ists and agriculturists or our etvti day.
Where are our farmers te learn such tacts
and discoveries? Net of themselves, for there
are many who de net read, ami few go out
olthelrwayte try experiments. They cau
only be taught by agricultural associations,
wherein the experience of practical tanners,
the Information derived from books atid the
assistance of scientific characters are happily
combined.
The spirit for agricultural improvement
and the formation of societies has very much
spread throughout our Union. Shalt I'enn
sylvanla be behind our sister states in such
associations 7 She Is before them in many
practical proels of her geed husbandry, but
has yet much te learn. Let us then promptly
obey the call of our legislature, and begin the
great work by forming societies and render
ing them efficient. Let us prlde ourselves
In our household manufactures, and for this
purpose let us invite the female branches ei
our families te join In our Plan. Without
their aid we can de nethiug lu such manu
factures; with It, everything. Instead or
foreign gewgaws and expensive finery, we
may be indetendent lu articles for houe heue houe
held uses and our attire, and save the expen
ditures which new go into the pockets of for
eigners. Comuierce is certainty essential te
an agricultural country, but the extent of It
should be no greater than our products, will
reach. When the balance turns against us,
our prosperity declines.
Yeu knew, gentlemen, that our farmers
will be BatUlled only by actual observation
et practical proofs. We must have public
manifestation of Improvement. The Institu
tion of cattle shows should be promoted.
They would be useful at places of sjle, or for
the exhibition or the best breeds, or for ex
posing, for imitation or sale, the best and
greatest variety of household manufactures.
On these occasions premiums, mere honorary
than costly, should be distributed te success,
fill candidates, cither for such cattle or man
ufactures, or for agricultural discoveries or
improvement", or the best exeoutleu of
known practices. Emulation must be reused
and encouraged, aud tbe honorable pride or
excelling must be festered. Such public ex
hibitions must be conducted by discreet aud
reputable men.
t nder such guidance and with snltable ac
companiment or innocent pleasure and
amusement, they will make a much stronger
Impression than any oral addresses et writ

I shall net enlarge lurther uiiu these

sion of a hope that you may be governed iu

of Justice ; that by preserving your minds
eutlrely free from hate, from friendship,

THE TURRET DOOR.
Frem the Argosy.
It was a beautiful and still evening toward
the end of summer, when In the ivurse is
my wauderlugs about the ancient city 1 cli
toris.! the quiet aud solitary clese of the grey
cathedral. The reeks were galhering In the
old elms which steed around. .V ruddy
light wrapped the gre.it grey towers which
rese far up Inte the evenlng air. The sounds
of the city from without came faintly and ut
Intervals te the ear as 1 walked stew ly norms
the clese toward the low wide steps which
ascended and vvere lest lu the shallow ei the
noble perch.
Oil reaching the gre.it deer of the c.itluslnil
1 found It closed. Hut in the contreor this
tiiore was another smaller deer which still
steed enen and here a pari of visitors, te
whom 1 was a stranger, were endeavoring te
persuade the ancient verger th.it the hour
WM net yet tOO l.lle lO perinilinuui in uhiti
the Interior. It se happened that Just us 1
came up they succeeded In overcoming Ills
hesitation, and he turned te lead the way
Inte the building.
The party lollew ed blin, and 1 among
theui.
lnslde the stillness was proleund ; the
lightest roetfall aw oke eoheos. The ovenlug
light fell, laden with the rich aud colored
f;loem et p.iinted windows, en the dark oirv eirv
ng of the stalls, en the great tubes el the si
lent organ, en tbe scrolls of the epitaphs, en
the uiarble Images or warriors, priests and
kings. The silence of the antique nave, the
colored deem of the nalutvd tunes, the
sense of antiquity In nil the air, impressed
their lnlluouce upon the mind with even
mero than customary power. 1 had no
ethor motive lu entering the cat lied rnl than
te indulge theerdinary curiosity of astranger
very certainly 1 anticipated no mere thau
the ordinary incidents or such a visit. Ne
mortal could have been less prepared for au
adventure. Hew could I dream that a
strange, a wildly strange experience, was te
befall me uciere l sneuiu smuu Hui w uuuui
theso grev aud ancient walls
And ye"t, se It was.
The truth of this extr.ierdlti.try sterv is
known te many persons, and my veracity
may be easily v critied. The facts of the oise
are these :
The party or visitors te which I had joined
invsellhad completed, under the culdauce
et thoverger, the customary tour of inspec
tion round the ancient fabric, and were new
preparing te leave the building. I had fallen
for a moment behind the rest, lu order te e e
amlne a line and deeply interesting specimen
of autlquecarvlug which covered the whole
of the wall near which 1 steed. The great
deer et the cathedral, wiicre uie rei ei me
party wero new standing, w.i net visible
from this spot ; but I could hear their voices
plainly round the angle or the wall. Aware
that I had net much time te linger unless I
wished te be locked up all night, I cast a
last glance et the rich tracery of the wood
work aud prepared reluctantly te turn
away.
Suddenly my eye was caught by a portion
of the carving which seemed te stand out
slightly from the rest. 1 put my hand upon
the carved head of the Apostle Peter aud
pulled It outward. Te in- amazement the
deer opened in the carving, show lug beyond
it a dark passage. I stoeioil forward and
looked in. As I did se the deer, which was
thick aud massive, aud which was huug
slantingly upon its hinges in such a manner
as te close with Its own weight, swung heav
ily back from the position Inte which 1 had
pushed It, aud coming unexpectedly upon
tne as I steeped forward, projected me Inte
the opening and shut behind me.
The suddenness et the Incident and the to
tal darkness iu which 1 found myself en
tombed startled and confused me. Hut at
tlrst 1 felt no positive alarm. 1 attempted at
once te push opeu the deer, but te my sur
prise it did net yield. 1 pushed harder
harder yet I exerted all my strength, but
the deer remained immovable.
At last, llndlug all my etlerts useless, I
endeavored te attract the attention of theso
outside. I raised my olce nud called loudly
for assistance, at the same time beating a vig
orous tattoo with my stick against the deer.
1 then paused aud listened, iu the expecta
tien of being speedily released. Hut te my
surprise nud alarm the minutes pvssed and
there was no response.
With a vague terror at heart I renewed my
endeavors. I raised u clamor that awoke the
echoes or tbe building. Hut still no volce re
piled from outside my prison, ue hand re
leased the fastening et the deer. (Gradually
the conviction forced itseir upon my mind
that I had delayed tee lout'. While I had
been trying te lorce open the deer by my
own etlerts, the party el visitors had left the
cathedral, either without observing mv au au
seuce or perhaps supposing that I had lelt bo be bo
rero them. The verger had locked up the
building and departed. There was ue one
within hearing te assist me.
My consternation at this discovery may be
conceived. The idea that I was lated te pass
the night In this dark anil narrow prison was
one which I refused te entertain. Again,
again, and yet again I hurled myself against
the wooden barrier with rage, with rury,
with despair. Net until 1 had exhausted
every ctlert in my power, net until overy
S learn et hope had vanished from my mind,
Id 1 give up the attempt te force the deer
as hopeless, and turned uw-ay lrem it te ox ex ox
amlne mero narrowly the place of my im
prisonment. Nothing new seemed left te
me but te ascertain hew I might pass tie
hours with least discomfort, until I might
expect assistance from without.
lu my assaults upon the deer I had already
discovered that the place in which 1 was in in
ceosed was et very small dimensions. It was,
in fact, llttle mero than nrecess or deep ulche
in the masonry, net exceeding three feet
square, It would neither enable me te lie at
full length nor te obtain any ethor relief for
my tired limbs than by the change of ene
cramped and uneasy pesture for another.
The lloer was of solid pavement. The reef,
as I steed erect, Just touched my head. The
walls, llke the lloer, were et solid stone.
.Standing close te one et these, and casting
my eyes upward, 1 made a discovery which
tilled me at lirst with surprise, and attervrard
with oxtreme perplexity.
Between the reef and the wall there was a
space or at least four inches. Through this
space 1 became avvare et a faint gleam of
light very rar abeve my head. Willi the ob
ject or ascertaining the length el this aper
ture I moved along the wall, keeplng my eye
upon tbocrevice. The light did net vanish.
1 turned the angle or the wall nud still the
light remained visible. I traversed in suc
cession the four walls of the cell ; ue obsta
cle obscured the feeble gleam. The reef did
net touch the wall at a single ixjlnt of the
circuit.
At this uuaccouutable discovery I was he
astounded that for some time I refused te
credit the evideuce or my own senses. The
reef was, te all appearance, llke Mahemet'H
celli u suspended in mid air. I struck it
with my stick ; it sounded heavy, massive,
substantial as the walls themselves. Hut
yet neither te the touch, nor by the peculiar
ringing sound which it emitted when struck
did it seem or stone. It gave rather the Im
pression of a block el solid Iren. Hut how hew
could this be ?
Totally unable te account for this discov
ery, I new placed myself en the lloer or the
cell, my back supported against ene of the
walls, and my leet against the opposite, aud
was relieved te tlud that the jMisture was
mero telerable thau 1 expected. 1 began te
be net without hope that I might in time be
able te rail asleep, and se pass a (Kirtleu of
the weary hours before me iu unconscious
ness. Llttle did I knew what was te reuse
me. NIeep! It was net sleep that was in
store Ter me.
Presently a loud and startling sound, seem
ing te issue lrem the reef above my head,
burst suddenly upon the sllouce. It was the
great clock or the cathedral striking the hour.
The netes foil slowly from a deep, solemn
and sonorous bell. Hut instead of reaching
my prison, as might have been expected, in
dull, far etl and mullled tenes, they fell upon
my ears with thrilling clearness and distinct
ness, as If they were close at hand. Il was
evident, In fact, that my cell must be situ
aled directly under the clock tower. This
conclusion, however, led me no lurther at
the moment.
I sat for a long time lu rollectloii upon the
number of hours which must elapse belore
I could expect te be set free. The bell bad
struck the hour or six. The cathedral would
probably net be open in the morning belore
II or 10. I had, therefore, some thirteen hours
at least before me te get through as host 1
might.
Hew slowly the titue wiiund ! Atseemlugly
long intervals the ludls struck the quarters ;
one, two, three, four ; and then lu deeper
tones the hour Itself 7. And new, when
the ringing sound or the last note hail died
away the bells or the cirlllen began te
chime. The notes fell en my ears with the
Maine singular and unaccountable dig.
tlnctness which I had ebserved iu the strik
ing of the hour. They chimed the eveulug
hymn.
Very suddenly a strange thought struck
me causing me te ralse my oyes toward the
ceiling of my cell, lu my nresent position I
could Just poreolvo the faint gleani et light
discernible far up through the iuterspace be
tween the reef and ihe wall ; but the root
Itself was burled In darkness, I rose slowly
te mv leet, and Iho scarcely formed oonjeo eonjeo oenjeo
turoot my mind was instantly renllrmed.
As I had expected, I could ue longer stand
erect i my head new struck the loot. The
whole truth dished at once across my mind
1 new saw clearly the explanation of what
had belore astounded and perplexed me. 1
saw why the roefdld net touch the walls el
the lniioure, why It was feruied of massive

or attempting te arrest the great weight by

1 might ns well have attempted te support a

Then an idea occurred te my mind w hlch

possible that by applying my strengtu te me

by slew degrees a sw luglng motion, llke that

In a paroxysm of despair I Hung myself
again upon the lloer or my prison, and lay
there without motion.
1 will net dwell upon the long hours that
followed these hours el mero thau mortal
agony et mind. It bapiveiied that 1 had
lately leen reading an account of a traveller
who had perished in a quicksand. Thetlme
et the accident was en a sumuier evening,
when the sun was sinking, and the lonely
shore was bathed in rosy light. The spot
where it occurred was well known te me
aud after readlug the account I had endeav
ored, lu that unroasenlug spirit which some
times leads the mind te dwell en horrors, te
roalize in r.incy the sensations of the victim,
as inch by Inch and loot by feet, In full sight
of the tree ocean and the glorious sun, the
treacherous quicksand drew him downward
downward te bis deem.
What the sensations attending such a
deatli must be I could then but reebly realize.
1 knew thorn new.
1 knew them new. The sensations of
theso who have steed race te face vv ith death
for hours, watching with starting eyes his
slew approach, are te me no mystery. Hut
the mind or man has mercirully been se
ordered that agony prolonged beyond a cer
tain jieint ends in benumbing the jsivver or
reeling. Thus it is that criminals condemned
te execution often sleep soundly and cat with
appetite ; a fact which seeins amazing te
theso who consider howcemparativoly slight
a degree of mental distress has power te rob
the night or restaud te turn the daintiest reed
te poison. They de net reilect that mental
agony in its oxtremity ceases te be felt. Hut
thus it is and thus it was with uie.
I belleve also that the air et the shaft must
have acted upon ine with some stupefying or
bewildering influence, like that of the vapor
which often gathers at the bottom of old
wella. The agitation or my mind gradually
gave place te a strange feeling of indillerence.
The peril under which I lay ceased te trouble
ine, and at least no lenger occupied iny
thoughts.
1 began instead te be curiously disturbed
by another circumstance, very trivial In it
seir; by a sound, which reached my senses
from somewhere in the stillness ; a sound
low, mullled, throbbing and mysterious,
llke the beating or myewn bleed. Had my
mind been clear I could net long have failed
te recognize it Ter what it was. The sound
seemed In my ears j but this was merely
owing te my position iu the shaft. I must
have passed into n 8ortef8tupor,whlch lasted
very long.
When I came te myself I was conscious of
a very singular sensation. The pitchy dark
ness wasabeut me, and otceurso I could ee
nothing. Hut in some unaccountable man
ner, et which I fear It is Impassible for me te
convey a notion, I wasaware that during my
trance the weight had descended agreatway.
and was new close above my body. 1 could
feel, though nothing touched ine, the huge
and threatening mass breeding evor me iu
the darkness. With a mighty etiert ler like
a persen In a nightmare I seemed te have
lest the power et motion 1 raised my hand.
My expectation was a correct one. My baud
struck against the under surface of the
weight, at au olevatiou of less than threo In In
ches from my face ! At last after an etor eter
nity of unuttorable suspense at last it
touched me.
It touched me. At lirst lightly ; thou with
a perceptible prossure ; then with a pressure
which grew distressing. In vain I sought
reller: In vain I strove te vvrithe mv bedv
into narrower compass. Slowly, stead lly, tlie
mass descended, crushing me against the
fleer.
The last minutes or my lire seomed come.
I breathed a prayer te heaven aud resigned

that my senses were leaving me.
Very suddenly the prossure ceased. I was
conscious of a welcome roller. I drew iu a

Iua long, lovv-ceillngod room at the very
top or a six-storied house in Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, sits the toy-bank maker all dav
long at his work. He is a little, bread-shouldered
man, withx bright face, blue laughing
eyes, aud a mouth which h.n ever n winning
smile upon it. His hair is nearly white, yet
It grows tlih k and curly evor ills he.nl and
chin. Seated semew here near him Is always
a big black cat, whose story alone Is of lu
terest and worth telling. One morn leg, six
years age, Mr. Page came down as usual te
Ids work, and was astonished te hear sounds
of life at the larendefblsusuallyqulet work
room. Going towards the noiie he iiercelved
a llttle black kitten lying en the lloer. It
could net Inn e been many days old, rer as
yet It was unable te see. Leeking up, Mr.
Page saw that some damage had been done
b his reef that there was a considerable hole
lu the ceiling. The kitten's home was pro pre
lubly in the ralters, and she had fallen
through. The mother, being unable te carry
her back, had left her te the tender mercies
of the proprietor of the room below. Tor Ter Tor
tun.itely ler pussy, Mr. Page is a human 0
man. He Immediately procured some milk,
and, by dint of seme patience and icrsuaslen,
aided, no doubt, by one of theso nine lives
which Isileugs te all cats, he succeeded In
rearing the llttle orphan, who, iu return, be be bo
came se attached te him that when he Is at
work she rarely leaves biu side.
The room presents a scene or well-nigh in
describable, but very picturesque disorder.
On overy wall lung cists in plaster, wax,
and bronze, mingled in a most Incongruous
manner with designs 011 paper, and models
in every kind of selt metal. Three low win
dows leek out 011 te the reef of a great tailor

constant hum or voices and whirringer sew

bread Delaware rlier aud the sand flats et
New Jersey. Tiiore are three tables in the
long atelier, rer Jehn Page Is assisted at his
work by his two sons, Jim and Jick, wheare
iu partnership w Ith thelr lather.
Mr. Page Is a genial, hearty liltle man .
he loves nothing better than a chat. And if
he can get a real Kiigllshmau te talk with
him about the dear old country he lelt se
many years age, and te which he has never
returned, he is beyond measure delighted.
Se when the writer was in Philadelphia last
year, an occasion ellerlng for a visit te the
pleasant old gentleman's workshop, it was
eagerly accepted, resulting iu a great deal or
mutual gratitlcatlen. He was at the time
engaged upon the construction eTa new toy
bank, ene which is new te le seen In every
toyshop In Londen .1 monkey with a cocoa
nut. And about Ins work Jehn Page thus
pleasantly conversed :
"The 'Crecdmoer Klllem.m' was the first
bank I made. The Idea was given me by a
notion dealer from Hosten, He said he
wanted a man made te sheet a penny Inte a
box, aud that's all the Idea 1 get lrem him.
The rllleman was the result. De they have
him in Knglaud ?"
"Oh'dear yes," replied the prosent wrlter,
"and several ethor banks et the same kind."
"Ah, they wero all modellod by me. All
made ler the same mau, but 1 didn't knew
they'd get te Kngland. I am new at work
en a much mero complicated bank than any
or the ethers, n monkey. The lirst brouze
casting hasjust come lu. We are new chas
ing It, and llnlug down all the rough edges,
and making the joints work easily. I first
et all make a solid model or the llgure In
specially prepared wax. Prem this I taken
plaster of Parts mould in two halves. Prem
these moulds 1 make two hollow models In
wax. Tlie next thing Is te soparate from the
complete models the parts which are Intend
ed te be movable. Helere 1110 I hale the left
fere arm and hand of the monkey holding a
pioce of coceauut shell, tlie thumb of the right
hand, the lower Jaw, the oyes aud the tall,
whiih latter, when the toy Is complete, will
act In conjunction with a spring en the In
side. Theso parts removed, I have te make
a fresh model in wax or overy part, with an
end cr Joint, as tlie case may be, attached te
each. They are then sent te the brass foun
dry te be cast in brass or bronze. Tlie whole
llgure has te be made complete and 111 work
ing order In wax be fere It is sent te the brass
foundry. Tlie brass pieces that come back
are very rough, and noed a great de.il or fil
ing and chasing te make thorn lit and move
easily. Yeu Hee, the model that I make in
brass or bronzeis the foundation from which
all the banks are oventually mude, and un
less my model works perfectly, thore will be
no end of complaints wheu it goeseventually
te the iron foundry, where the marketable
toys are turned out. There ure tvventy pieces
iu this bank. A coin is placed between the
thumb and fingers or the monkey's right
hand 1 the thumb, you see," anil hore Mr.
Page very kindly titled the pieces or his
model together, "the thumb, you soe, is
kept In place by a spring Just strong eneugh
te held a coin the weight of hair a dollar.
When the tall Is depressed tlie lelt hand
raises the upper half or the coceauut, the
lower jaw lallsdewn, the eyes go up, the
right thumb is drawn back and releases the
coin, which ialls through the silt in tlie co ce co
eoauut aud Inte the bank."
Hut Mr. Page does net confine his genius
te the manufacture of models for toy banks.
He Is au adept at the art of rrjwtiase, brass
hammering. Soiuc-er the most beautiful of
theso brass plaquespvlth ralsed llgures upon
them, which are Held as Imltatlousef theleng
neglected art, saw thelr first light in Jehn
Page'H workshop at tlie top ei Ne. "lil

Birmingham brass chaser, who went te
America nearly forty years age te bottorbiiu bettorbiiu botterbiiu
self new sends his manufactures back te his
natlve country, though very few of the
poeplo who see, admire and purchase them,
knew the uatue even of the man who makes
them.

Them Isitpioleund philosophy umlerlWng
man's svuipilhy with nature, which has
W'en brought Inte dealer light by the theory
et evolution, and the able naturalists that
have willlen en that subject. Previous te
the promulgation ul lh.it tlicerv the relation
between man and nature was regarded as ex
ternal aud mechanical, at least se lar as
science Is concerned. The natural vveild
was rogaided as thn phitlerm simply en
which man is the actor, or us the beuse iu
which, fern time, he has his residence. A
deeper relation was, indeed, felt by the peels,
but their descriptions or It were looked iiihiii
as imaginary nud net re.d.
Hut the discussions 011 evolution have
brought out mero clearly the organic relation
that subsists between man ami nature. This
lutein il relationship lias te de net merely
w ith man's phvsical nature, but with his
spiiuii.il nature as well. 'or a long time,
fellow ing Iho system el Descartes, most
thlukeis and writers held te n dualism be
tween matter aud mind. These vv ere regard
ed as entirely different substances, he radical
was the dillerence 1 nin-eiied te be, that for 11
time II was supKwsl that nun could uet act
iis)ii the ether. Tlusw isiarried se fur that
It bocatne a question whether body and soul
iu the constitution of man could act usui
each ether at all. A great philosopher,
Malebnmchn, held the xlew that thev cannot
u.'t upon each ether, mid that it is the imme
diate power or Ued acting upon both tli.it
harmonize their activity.
Hut the great progress made lu recent
times lu natural science has brought iu a
mero spiritual view et tlie material world.
Matter is new regarded in its iuudnuicutal
constitution os force, and between this ami
mind, while a dillorenco exists, there ts ue
dualism. U.ilher the ennls regarded nseuly
a higher lertii of existence and activity than
the ether, and in a profound seuse they Isith
constitute ene universe. With this change
lu the v lew of matter and the material world
a closer union between man aud nature Is
held even lu the sphere of science. Nature
Is net merely the platform for huiiiau lift,
but It is, oil tlie one side at least, the womb
out et which his Isjiiig is evolved. The earth
is Ins mother.
in the processes of creation every step
looked forward te man as the archetype.
Nature below man 111 i.v bu regarded as the
broken fragments et humanity. Kach stad
ium or existence lu the ascendlngseries leeks
lerward te mm as the epitome of tlie whole
world. Hi uce there is something human
everywhere lu nature, and something of na
ture every where iu man. The voice of
prophecy may !e heard threuuhmit all the
processes el the natural creation, just as
clearly as the voice of prophecy inty be
heard iu the onward movements el human
hiBlery. Thore Is also a syinlsjlism ill nature
that rests upon the iuUiinte relation between
the physical and spiritual worlds. Light Is
the symixil i truth, air Is the symbol of
spirit. Indeed se much Is this the case that
a large portion of the words iu human lan
guage have a double meaning, or are nppllnd
te spirituil things, because of their resom resem
blance t," pbvsical things. Thus thore Is ene
word, hi'ii'I", In i.reek, le designate air
and spirit, .111 ! in seme passages the meaning
can imasieriainisi emy in ai-.ireiui examina
tion of the cun text.
Iu ene el his boost articles en " The Won Wen
derlul Naturoef Man," the late Ilov. Dr. .1.
W. Nevin treated this subject most pro
foundly. e recall the likeness he se
graphically described between the mountain
ranges of ihe world and the skeleton of the
human Irame, between the winds 111 nature
and the ai lien et the lungs in breathing, the
streams or water that evor ilew en aud under
the earth, aud the circulation or the bleed,
and the electric currents In nature ami the
currents of norieusforco in the human liedy.
Tills correspondence reaches also te the
mind, as may be seen by comparing tlie In
stincts and "ingenuity or animals with the
activity or the in. man mind.
Nature beauty cm be fully understood only
as we study this profound sympathy between
mau and nature. The beauty of Inorganic
nature 111 light, nir, waler and earth, rests
largely upon the prophetic and symbellc
eharacter of nature. Aud the expression of
tlie natural world rises higher when we come
te organic natiire in the vegetabln kingdom,
and, must of all, lu the animal kingdom. Tlie
degree of beauty for .esthetic taste is meat
iired by the capacity ler lellewshlp between
man and nature. The winds and tlie waves
are companions rer man. Still mero is this
the case with the trees, and most el all with
animals. All tills may, indeed, be taken lu
Intuitively by the icsthetic sense, without un
derstanding the philosophy of It, hut the
great pregruss made iu natural sciouce has
certainly dene much te Increase our appreci
ation of ihe beauty or nature. Ought net the
a -allelic nature le be cultivated In our edu
cation mero than it is ? We try te attend te
physical, mental, and a llttle te moral cul
ture, but what bisemus of the phantasy and
the realm or tha beautiful T it does net ro re ro
quireu knowledgo of high art for this ; there
Is spread out befere us a realm of nature
beauty, which is, for the most part, a cloned
volume.
It is beiltliful te our spirits te cultivate
tills deep sympathy with nature. And lrem
this iInt et view we may soe that the study
or natural hcIoiice has u proleund spiritual
basis. It is sometimes said that the study of
nature, having te de with material things, is
luwer than the study of mind, and that it
tends te materialism ; but that dopends al
together upeu the way iu which we study na
ture It was the dualistie philosophy el
Descartes that did much te bring in this low
view or nature. In the system of natural
philosophy taught by Schelling an entirely
ditferent spirit was Introduced. With him
nature bocame the shrine of the Infinite, nud
his students were carrled away with enthusi
asm lu theiradmlratlen of the material world.
True, bis teaching was tinctured with a ten
dency te pantheism, but the progress in nat
ural Beience has served te correct that, Tiiore
is Intelligence of the highest order In nature,
and the study el natural scionce brings, or
should bring, us Inte healthy communion
with this. We come here into communion
with the intelligence nud plan of Ged in cre
ating tlie universe, and with preper guid
ance this should lead te revoreuce for the
great Architect.
The study or mind Is new beiug comple
mented by the study or nature. The science
or psychology Is greatly aided by the study
el physiology. Altogether we think tlie
ovelutiouists, however much error thelr the
ory may contain, have done a geed work iu
developing the doep organic relation between
man ami nature. This sympathy with na
ture should be cultivated. It Is restful te the
human spirit te commune with nature's
great mysteries aud her great boautles.
Much may be dene by attending te this In
children, they may be led out day by day
te admlre tlie groen Holds, the waving groin,
the variety et llowers. uney cau ue inegni
te love the songs or the birds and the great
varlety or the animal kingdom. They should
lie awakened te the grand ami sublime in
the towering mountains, the rolling sea, the
starry heavens, and even the torrlble thun
der storm, tlie tornado and ether dynamic
exhibitions et nature, may have terror dis
placed by a souse of sublimity. Ner should
we, in our opinion, shut out nature from our
pictures of the heavenly world, The lllble
speaks et " a new heaven and a new earth,"
ami el "tlie river of life," Ac,, Ac, and we
should uet Hplrituall.e all this away.
Man requires au environment In the pres pres pros
ont llle ; he will require ene eiiually in a
future life. .Nature will be glerllled together
with him, and he will net be deprived of Its
