Truth.

The investigation and dissemination
of truth is one CT the noblest employ y
ments of men. 1t is labor which yields
a hundred fold. 1t adds to the store
house Of knowledge, and continues to
exalt and bless our race. "Truth is
mighty" and its influence, like the
wave made by pebble, widens and
widens till it breaks on the boundless
shore ofeternity. Itmay seem lost for
time, but it is only the loss Of the sun
obscured by a fitting cloud, which,
when it has passed over and gone,
shines forth with increased brightness
to gladden. the face Of Nature. Truths
uttered centuries ago are still sound
ing in our ears. The .skepiic may dis
regard these, and the sophist try to bu-
-ry them in oblivion, yet they "will pre-
vail" Eternity is their lifetime, and
the test of ages but adds to their bril-
Iiancy and beauty. A 4hi
The sources from which truths may
be gathered are many and various: yet
they are chiefly found within t,Do vol-
umes--those OF Inspiration and Nature.
Each one of these volumes was written
by the same unerring wisdom, and
when studied in telIigently and in con-
nexion with each other, they tend to
promote virtue and secure happiness.
The moral laws of Gods kingdom are
embodied in the former, and the physi.
cal in the latter. Between. the two
there is corresponding harmony, for
the author of the System of Nature is
one and the same being. There is no
contradiction or disagreement between
the truths of Natural Science and those
Of Revelation. For we are told, that
since hypothetic assumptions, and the
orelical reasonings are no longer made
use OF in the investigation Of Nature,
but the certain, invariable process OF
induction, all discoveries in science are
completely accordan, with the Scrip.
lures of truth, and illustrative of many
of the sublime sentiments they con-
tain.
The study Of the former volume
commends itself to US, inasmuch as il
emanated from the ''father OF light"
and instead of being an imposition up
on the credulity Of mankind, is the vol
ume Of inspired Truth containing rules
by which we are to govern our conduct,
that we may obtain happiness in.
this life, and also in that which is to
come. By the study Of this volume
alone man may grow wise unto Saliva
ton. IT'S not so, however, in regard
to the study of the later volume. The
greatest philosopher that ever lived,
without the Bible, would be as ignorant
of eternal life and the way to obtain
it, as the most benighted Heathen.-
Yet when the two are studied in con-
nexion with each other, the study of
the later becomes of no trif1ing import
ance. The study Nature is no study
of fiction. IT'S the study Of truth, for
truth flows in every rivulet; it is breath
ed forth from every spear Of grass, from
every herb and every flower;--it floats
on the winds of Heaven, and is found
in the cavems OF the earth. ALI Ma
ture teens with truth. And we won.
der, not that the great moralist when
studying il with reference to Its au-
thor was led to exclaim: aThe world
becomes temple, and life
itself one continued act Of alteration"

Democratic meeting welcoming into
the arms Of the party, SON, who
had wandered from the faith, but who
was now returning with JOY to those
who most loved him. He proceeded,
Z after the applause had subsided, to ad-
minister such dose to the Wings that
they will scarcely recover from its ef-
'tect until after the 9TH OF November
next, and most likely not at all. We
do not pretend in the following remarks
20 do him full justice; but as nearly as
we could, we took down his language,
and bis ideas in his own words. The
anxiety to hear him was SO great that
the crowd pressed between him and our
table, and prevented US catching all that
