/ NOTHING MADE IN VAIN.

The Creator has made nothing that s unuseful,
nothing so insulated as to have no relations with
anything else-nothing which is not serviceable
or instrumental to other purposes besides lis own
existence nothing that is not to be applicable or
convertible to the benefit of His sentient crea-
lures in some respect or other The mineral has
connection Of this sort with both the vegetable
and the animal kingdoms, and these with each
other. The same principle has been pursued
throughout the animal class Of nature. No one
species Of living being has been formed only for
itself or can subsist in absolute uselessness to
others. There is one grand purpose for causing
SO many races of animal beings to subsist on each
other. BY this system each one enjoys the gift
of life and each is made to contribute, by the ter
mnaton of that gift, to the well-being Of others.
Fishes are thus useful to each other, to many
birds, to some animals, and to man. Birds have
their period of happiness for themselves, and are
servceabe to others of their kind and to man, and
to some quadrupeds, in their mode of death, instead
of Wondering through corruption into their mate
rial dissolution. Quadrupeds have the same
double use in their existence their own enjoy
ment, and the benefit of their death, to those in
their own. order, and to the birds and reptiles.
worms and insects that have been appointed to
derive nutrition from their substance. All the
kingdoms of nature have been likewise so con-
structed, as to be beneficial to the human race,
not as nutriment only, but in the thousand con-
veniences to which they are convertible. The am
phibous order of nature is no exception to these
general results. It's various genera contribute
their portions to the common stock of mutual
utilities They have their own qualification from
their personal existence; they contribute by
their substance to the maintenance of others Of
their feow-creatures; and some of their genera
serve to multiply the convenences and pleasures
of man. He derives advantages from all that
exists in as much larger degree to any other
animal as he is superior to any in his intellectual
exertions and universal capacity.--Shar. Turner.

In peace he bore his honors meek, but when grim

His war-cry rung upon the breeze to meet his coun-

Like a fine true-heartcd gallant Wing,
All Of the olden time. f
When he had served his country long in Senate and

And crowned with civic laurels no envy can abate
He wendell to his home again, and sought farmer $

For though he'd filled high Offices, he took the
spoils. n, a5, b III
