The SCRIPrURAL ACCOUNT OF CREATION.
The Scriptural account OF Creation is is strict
analogy with the prevailing character Of the Di-
vine arrangements To have spoken scientif
cally OF the suhject-in other words, TO have
made science the subject of revelation would
have been TO degrade the character OF revelation
by making it minister to mans curiosity; 10 de-
feat its unique design by diverting his attention
from the permanent to the passing, aggravating
the very evil il was meant to Iemedy by absorb.
ing him in the interests OF the present; tor il it
expounded science, why not also art, political
economy, aud all the formula Of civilization? and
to reveal some OF the deep laid laws OF the Di.
vine plan, and as such, to iinpugn the Divine or
IGN OF the revelation; for the entire scheme of
things is constructed with view, not to exempt
man from effort, but 10 invite him TO it; TO enable
him to make discoveries for himself; to engage
his powers so as to reward them, and by engag-
ing to augment them. But the sacredness of its
origin is deducible from more than analogical
grounds. Even in literary respect it is unique
Ease, simplicity, and grandeur characterize its
statements.
Myth and speculation are unknown TO il; the
historical element predominates. No other an
cient cosmogony will sustain comparison with
it. While philosophy was still breathing mist
and llvingin chaos, the opening sentence ofthe
Bible had been shining on the Hebrew mind Tor
centuries, ray direct from heaven. Nor has
science been able to transcend that sublime afr.
nation. 1t is too spiritual for materalism to EN-.
brace; too personal and substantial for pantheism
to dispute. True, the narrative of the Adamic
creation which follows that primary announce
ment, wears peculiar form; the spirit is cloth.
ed to mortal vesture; but the divine image shines
through. Obscured though 1t may sometimes
have been by the false CLOSES of its friends, the
Thanksgiving power of the in.dwelling truth can.
not be concealed. Science has had to recall her
imputations on IT, and to confess herself forestal
ed in her own department.. Modern sceptcism
may be safely challenged even to imagine more
credible account OF creation. As science multi.
plies her ascertained results, new accordances
with the Biblical narrative come to light. The
higher deductions Of reason harmonize with it,
Nor can the time be hopelessly distant, when in
the blended radiance OF revelation and science,
nothing shall be lett for their mutual friends to
deplore but the long want Of that wise conf ling
patience, and that candid forbearance, which
would have fastened their union, and nave adj
ded to their lusture.--JMan PrimeuGl.

BEAR STORY. Mr.. Jacob D. Murray OF
Parkman, on the 18th inst, going from his house
with his axe on his shoulder, saw his sheep rush
ing to the barn in great alarm. Starting in the
direction Of the trouble, and looking ahead, he
saw monster of bear, making tracks for the
woods-down dropped the chalk line and gimblet
and posing the axe in his right hand, Murray
started "ful chseP' after bruin, determined it he
came up with him to show fight, and teach him
better manners than TO be trespassing upon his
premises at that time of day. On went bruin
leaning tor the woods at rapid place, but faster
followed Murray, and having come up within
striking distance, he let bruin have it with the
axe. Murray's object was to cleave the bears
back bone, but both bear and man being on the
full jump, Murray missed his mark, and the
whole axe sunk in between the ribs. Bruin not
liking such an enemy in the rear, turned round,
and seized the handle OF the axe with his mouth.
Murray wrenched the axe from the animals
jaws, leapea over him to the other side, and with
prsdiglous force planted the axe sui is The bears
brains, and the "vsrmint" keeIed over and bit
the dust. The whole was the affair of a moment,
and Murray had cut ihe critters throat with his
jacknife before his neighbor Harrington could
reach the place OF combat.
