the solid crystal is the marvel. We know the
difficulty which would attend the passage Of our
hand through the crystal, and we deem the pas
sage Of tho light identical with the passage Of the
hand. Nothing is more fallacious than thus to
consiruc the word passage in these different uses
Of it. The two operations possess the requisite
analogy to make the word passage applicable to
both, but its meaning in each application is what
our senses reveal, and not what the identity
Of the word implies. The passage Of the light
through the crystal Is sight only; the passage of
my hand Is y sight and feel II have made this
rather long quotation, for the further calculation
Of the authors views; have selected it, as furn-
ishing one Of the plainest illustrations in his
book As the word passage in the above instance is
misinte ,ed So our author thinks, is gener-
al, the language Of science, morality and theo!o-
gv And thus knowledge is faIlacious; the
tongue Of science utsers sophistry; the books of
wisdom are filed with perplexity and error. We
say, for example, that ball is round; the round
ness is apparent to the eye and hand; in the au-
,hor's nomenclature it is sight and a feel But
when say the earth is round, it is delus-
ion; 70: in this case, the term round, does not i'm
that the earth is round. So that in the applica-
ton Of the word round, to the earth, we do not
mean the same thing, rs when We apply it to an
| apple other small spherical body. When round
is predicated Of the earth, means, its shad-

DEAR BEsNFTT-


l noticed in your last evenings paper
crtque on the performance of Otheo at the fGarrck
Club on Wednesday evening last As one Of the men,
bers OF the Club, regret the publication both because
the criticism was partial and unfair and because the in
dlvlduals who formed and compose that associa-
ton never contemplated being drawn ont into public
notice but since such has been the case perhaps the
admission into your columns Of short sketch of its
formation and character, may be more than Justice
to its members. The club had its origin amsng few
mutual friends, who wished to combine refined and
elegant amusement with a source Of improvement and
permanent advantage The orignators ofthe Club were
all young asprants the bar and the evident effect the
well directed study Of dramatic models would have in
hitting them for their future profession Of the
principal inducements 10 It's formation. Organized in
accordance with these views FIRST strictly pr
vate but subsequently, the instance some friends
matters were so arranged admit an audience
ssting oil the intimate associates of the members We
were led to this step by the desire of gaining the appro
basn OF our friends and the advantage of receiving
their CRITICISMS and corrections OF course made
nopretensions to dramatic excellence talent
We prepared TO stand the test of newspaper criticism
our object in admitting audience being merely TO
please friends. The writer Of the puerie criti-
clsm alluded to- having obtained admission our per-
fornances has abused the confidence of some friend i'm
the qualification Of his meddesome disposition Still
had there been a sprinking OF Justice candor in his
marks they would have been less Objectionable If YOU
yourself, Mr.. Editor, would honor with visit in per
son, or If yon could receive your criticisms from some
able and impartial hand the effect upon our perform
ances might be highly improving But partial praise
and sweeping censure, aside from their Injustice can
have other effect than initiate the mind Of the be.
