PROGRESS.

The age Is onwardi We can look back
now like one who, having gained the sum-
NIT Of q hill, rstraces with his eyes ths toll
some League he has travelled. We may
look back and behold the monuments, the
mementoes, the dangers and disasters Of the
road; and whilst we note all these, as warn
ings for our future progress, we yet sit het
down 70 survey them but; casting = single
look behind, press once more boldly onward.
For it is vain to look back. The Atiaina
bic only IS before US. The Pest is g ladder
of sand, each round of which has crumbled
beneath our feet; and should we pause, or
turn to descend, the shades Of uncertainty
and ruin would encompass US. There is
naught In the circle Of being, nsught in
the range Of matter, that Is not an exemplsr
of the great principle Of Progression, and
a continual cycle Of evergrowing results.
Nsught is ended-for nothing dies. DISCO
luton is antsgonistic to all material or spit
itusl things. and retrogression, II nature In
reality discloses such q phenomenon, is but
Transient, and incident towards renewed
progress. A particle of sand, could we
trace 1t through all the famikcations Of its
utility, would lead us througha labyrinth Of
the mightiest words. From the sand whirl
that bore it ACROSS the desert, to the COL
uinn which held it-as an integral of Palmy-
ra's splendor; frorn the fallen and shivered
column, to the tomb Of some desert Emir;
from the tomb Of the sands once mora; from
the sands to the crucible; and from the cru.
chile to the glass which forms the very ink
stand in which now dip my pen, how sim.
pie the tr~ansitioh-the progression-for all
is progression that Is motion, since the mo-
ton must efactuste tesults.
Be not thou cast down, o little man, who
art as q sand grain 10 the whirlwind Of mo.
tion2 Thou art integraIly of the worlds
life, and strength and besutyl Through
the crucible must thou pass in thy day, but
thy destiny evsf preserves thee. Utility
in the eye Of nature 10 the keeping Of her
