r.. For the Vermont Telegraph.

..|.. MANS TRUE NATURE. 49, a.. 49,. /.
Progression is stamped upon every thing
ia nature; and man with the rest is pro-
gressive in his career. ~. ~.*.
This idea may startle some who have long
cherished opinion that man ia his nature
is wholly incapable of performing Fight
action, or thinking a rio bit thought. But
the sentiment advanced, however erroue-
Gus Ii may appear, and however much il
may initiate against what are called the
axioms Of ethics, as taught oy our PaIeys
and Edwards, will, if true, suffer nothing
by passing through the fiery ordeal ofin-
vestigalion. r. ~. i. -.-: ~. !:
Biologists tell US the time was when
this earth was in a crude, unorganized state.
That 10 due time, by virtue of certain
chemical affinities, it was brought into a
sac capable Of producing vegetation.
That from this, it went on ill the lowest
order of animals were produced; and in
due time man appeared; not 10 the con.
! dillon we now see him, but as an animal
! ignorant oflhe Jaws Of his being, and OF
the world with which he was placed in
! such intimate relations. We may how
ever suppose that be was perfect 10 all bis
parts, or 10 other words, he possessed
powers Of body and mind in such perfect
relation to each other, that nothing more
was necessary in order that he might be-
gia the work of progression for which he
was SO admirably 64ed. Yet SO entirely
| ignorant was he of tue laws o. his being
and, as a consequence of this Ignorance
so wide was his departure from the truth,
from that time 10 this he. has advanced bu
slowly. He has not however remllnec
entirely ignorant of his future destiny. A
few have arisen in every age who have
been able to see through the thick mist:
Of error and superstition in which the
mass have ever been enshrouded, and ,haC
at least glimpse of those great principles
which are in their very nature calculates
to work out mans redemption. Thes'
truths they have proclaimed to the worlc
) fearless OF the consequences but so few
have been the instances, aud so far be
|, tween, and such firm hold have tn
