I MYSTERY, REASON AND FAITH.-lt is
seldom that we meet with passage more
truly eloquent than The following taken
from all essay by the Rev. Peabody, of N:

Night comes over ship al sea. and d
passenger fingers hour after hour alone Oh
the deck. The waters plunge and weller
and glide away beneath lbe keel. Above
the sails tower up in the darkness, almost
10 The sky, and their shadow fails as it
were burden on the deck below. Ia
the clouded night 10 star is to be SEEM
and, as The ship changes her course tho
passenger knows no, which way is east, or
wesi, or norIh. or south. What islands,
what sunken rocks may be on her course
or what that course is, or where they
are lie knows noI. All round TO him il
Mystery. He bows down In the submis-
sion Of utter ignorance.
But men of science have read the laws
of the sky. And the next day this pasa
senser behoIds the captain looking al

he has completed them, he is able 10

The place at which, after unnumbered
windings, be has arrived in the midst OF
The seas. Storms may have heat and cur
rents drifted, bu, he knows where they
are. and the precise point where hundred
leagues over water, lies his native shore.
Here is Reason appreciatins and making
use Of the revelations (f we may 50 call
thern) of science.
Night asaiu shuts down over the waste
Of the waves, and the passenger beholds
single seaman stand at the wheel, and
watch. hour after hour. as il vibrates be-
meath a lamp. little needle. which points
over, as if il were living finger, to tho

of the ship-failh in the laws that control

of The little guide before him. And so.
wi,huut single doubt, he steers his ship

faith is not disappointed. Win the morn
