spiritual nature this volume would ever be
source of the sweetest consolation. But for the
heart whose hungry nature no outward form can
satisfy, and whose prayer for truth and rest rises
over the chant Of the choir, and the ceremony at
the altar it will seem tame and unsatsfying.-
But we half regret this last sentence already as
our eye rests on some Of the exquisite gems. The
following for instance:
WARNINGS. ...... For Music
WHEN Heaven sends sorrow.
Warnings go first,
Lest it should burst
With stunning might
On souls too bright
10 fear the morrow.
Can science bear us
To the hid springs
OF human things
Why may not dream,
Or thoughts day gleam,
Startle, yet cheer US
Are such thoughts fetters,
While faith disowns
Dread of earths tones,
Recks but Heavens call,
And on the wall.
Reads but Heavens letters
This is a sweet thing, so is one on Rest, more
religious in It's character which we resolved to IN
sert, but could not find room.

substance of the Swedenborgian system is here

PANroNoMlc SYSTEM OF THE I N1vERsE.-This
PROCESSES to be correction from the original dis
coyery made by Leseur, and is styled new
System of Christian Philosophy. It's German all
over-visionary, in our view in its plan, yet often
full of striking thoughts in It's details Our author
takes up the Universe analytically, beginning at
God and dividing down to the minntest particle
Of matter.
No one doubts that every thing in nature hs,
relation to some other thing its natural antecedent
and so on till the universe is joined-a. perfect
whole. But that our philosopher or any other
philosopher can penetrate or grasp this system III
its mystery and vastness we deny. The present
division, and analysis, and classification OF things
is doubtless often entirely arbitrary, and is no
more an analysis in fact than merely chopplng
the body into pieces and calling the fragments el-
ements. But the perfect knowledge of each part
and its relation to all others, belongs alone to the
Being who created them. To analysc or synthc-
sisc the Universe is rather too great an underta
king for any man.
Its remarks on education are noble and grand
