Flynn, was instantly killed by inhang the steam
He in the fre-room at the time and was in the
act of trying the depth of water in the boiler The

is more important the youth of rising gener ition
to adult age, than that of Natural History. 1t
teaches his superiority the brute CREATION
and creates in his bosom a knowledge of the wisdom
and goodness, and 0mniplesencC of a Supreme and
All wise Creator. 1t also teaches him how entirely
dependent he is on the providence of God; cevates
his character, and fits him for the discharge of the
nOhler duties of life
In the beginning of the world, as we are taught by
the Holy Sculptures, God said unto man, "And to
every beast of the earth, and TO every fowl of the air.
and 10 every thing that creepeth upon the EARTH
wherein there is life, surrender TO thy control; and
thou shalt have dominion the fish Off the sea- and
over the fowls of the arr and every thing that moveth
upon the EARTH shalt thou have dOminOn.o
When this power and dominion was given BY the
Almighty to man, il was Intended, by his Wisdom,
that he unto whom he had COntded so much, should
become acquainted and familiar with the subjects
which he should exercise his rule Hence il be-
necessary that man should study the history of
animated nature, make himself master of a science
on which his own happiness depended and which,
when developed, could not fail TO advance the great
causes Of civilization and learning.
So fully was all this appreciated, in the early stages
of civilization, religion and light that the early found
erS OIL Ill Engan0, corrected
i'm menageres, to which they introduced their
chi dren, and taught them that all animated nature
pro ged the existence of that God, whose spell they
Ia Igh and whose law paramount to all others,
and must be obeyed.
We read that st. Augustin, soon after he establish
ed himself Canterbury, and there reared the bless
ed cross collected from all the remote nations of the
| earth that were accessible specimens of the ANNA
world, and taught his monks that the study of natural
history was not only essential TO common intelligence
| but to the propagation Of Religion itself
In recent times all of the enlightened states
| af Europe, in obedience TO The commands of their
sOvereens have, at vast labor and expense, establish
ed Institutes made up of the animal world, for the
purpose of aiding the propagation and advancement
of science and useful knowledge. England, France,
italy, Germany in fact, all modern Europe have, for
centuries back paid unemittng attention to this sub
jeet; and that nation of Europe, which has not its
National Historical Institute, is regarded as on that
backward course that leads, in the end, 10 semi bar
barrie ignorance and folly. mlS-2t
