INDEPENDENCE OF MIND.

sneers of that portion of our race who have
adopted, wiihon. investigation. the scientific
opinions Of others. ! refer to those only
who have received their ideas from others
by inheritance, as they did their real estate.
For the one they never labored, and for the
other they never thought
Such persons, though protesting to be
learned, and perchance even claiming TO be
the guardians Of science, are nevertheless its
greatest enemies; and by exerting their in
fuence in favor of old opinions, however
absurd, and agalns, any innovations, how
ever true. useful, or grand, are checking the
mighty march of mind. They are clogs of
more than leaden weight hanging upon the
chariot wheels Of science that are rolling
through the world. Ii commenced its ca
reer in The breaking morn of creation, with
but few passengers on board, and has con-
tinued its course with increasing speed and
growing glory down TO the presen, moment.
1t now travels with the briliancy and ra-
pidily Of the l,gh,ning's blaze, and even
compels the very lightning TO speak in fa-
miliar voice TO man! Yes; they even write
not only their forky gambols Oh the bosom
Of dark cloud, but they write on paper,
and transmit. human though. as fast as
thought can move.
The chariot Of science is destined to con-
tinue its majestic course, in duration coeval
with our globe Sull more i, is destined
TO ou,live the dark and sullen catastrophe Of
worlds! The chariot of science with ever
increasing power, magnifcence, and glory,
IS destined to pass the boundaries of the
moulderIDg tomb-,o snatch immortality
from the iron grasp of death, and roll on in
living grandeur through the eternal world,
gathering new accessons Of intellectual
beauty and unending delight. Its passen-
gers here are mortal men. There they will
be angel and archsngeI, cherubim, seraphm,
and the glori6ed millions of our race The
mind of man wears the impression of divi-
nifty, the stamp of original greatness; and
is destined to ripen in mental vigor as the
was'eless ages of eternity roll Hence the
very principles Of nature as an impression
from the hand of God, forbid us 10 stand
still. Their command is ONWARD

those we would fain see more often on
eartll,-where all distance between men, all
difference Of rank and fortune are done away
with, and life is again an Idyl full Of inno-
cence and beauty in the lap Of great nature.
May the s,ar-spangled banner float wider
over such scenes, such banque,s Of life

us. When he came, he was cordial and
simple in his manner: as before on the green

nothing in the realms Of science would have
been disclosed by speech, nor penned in
books. A dreary, barren waste, wrapped in
solitude and night, would have reigned for
human contemplation. But instead of this
frishlul picture of desoa,ion, we see these
fruitful fields of mental and moral beauty SO
rich in the scenery Of thought, aud in end
less variety, present themselves to our view
A secret rapture of thrilling deligh, fills the
heart as we glance over this lonely scene
on which human research has thrown q
splendor surprising ths. of the nooniide
blaze.
Had no, some master spirits dared 10
freely speak and write their thoughts, then
those pretended friends of science who now
oppose ever, thing that may appear to them
both new and strange, would have been des-
llute Of that knowledge they obtained from
books; and, not daring to think for them
selves, they would have remained 10 mental
night. 1t is by daring TO step aside from
the beaten track Of books, and bring forth
from the dark arena Of nature into the ligh,
Of day some new truth, that we add our
mite 10 the common stock Of knowledge al
ready accumulated. He who denies us this
grand right of our nature is scientific bigo'
and has ye. to learn that even the school
and college were only established to disci-
pine the mind for action. There the stu
dent, through books and ins.ruc.ors,i is only
made TO see how other men have dored to

BIT HORACE DRESSER, ESQ.
Why love the thoughts to dwell on days now past
Those days unfraught with deep solcitude-
When parents every want and need supplied
And naught so pleased when their leave was give,
TO wander here and there among the fields,
Where flowers attired the ground and fragrance
breathed'
Innate it is to look thus back on life
And see what scenes have marked the way to this
This day that soon will be departed-gone
The years of youth-but stop, my soul, and pause
Though gone, and now mere to be recalled,
And numbered each with those that Adam saw,
Yet STILL tenacious Memory brings them back,
And seems to live them DER and DER again.
At thought of these, how Childhood's tender age
Again revives and brings afresh to mind
Those many hours that neer sorrow bore,
Nor e'er much as brought an anxious care.
Departed days say, where are now those friend,
And neighbors, mates and dearest ittimates,
That once the happy social circle f1led'
"All numbered now with those beyond the flood'
Howswise is he who learns from time gone by,
To lead such life as Conscience we'll approves
On which to look no keen compunctions rise
'Twere we'll if all could look on yesterday
And feel assured that it was spent Alright,
And added not day TO 1nisspent time.
Few take exact account Of time till past
Here lies the sad aud gross mistake of man.
Let him be asked, whose head is banched By age
How seem his former days they move the SOUL
Like dreams they seem when a sudden walked
Imagination seems to make alive
Those friends that long ago paid natures debt,
And laid them down to sleep the sleep of death.
How short is life at longest-a mere point!
Did days seem long to Joseph's holy sire, [not
When Pharaoh asked, 'How old art thou ?''-sure
Departed years-their voiceless days and hours
And moments glide away-and where is man,

SHE SAYS SHE LOVES ME DEARLY

BY FRANCIS S. osGooD.
She says her heart is in her kiss-
She says she loves me dearly;
Why meet not her tenderness
AS fondly, as sincerely?
All! once trusted all met,
With W rm and ar,less truth;
And once my words were from my soul,
But that was in my youth.
And trusts betrayed and vows forgot,
And wrong returned for kindness
Have chilled my heart and changed my lot
And cured my bissful blindness.
No longer tender, guileless, meek,
Confding as the dove,
Too oft think before l speak,
And doubt before love.

which forms sure foundation and greal
barrier against every vice. /, is a granarv
TO the mind, where every virtue will be
stored: it lends sweet tinc,ure to every
action, which is gratefully cherished.
The man who has no occupation must be
quite unhappy; toll is the price Of sleep and
appetite, health and enjoyment. How nobly
every order is displayed! +! The very neces
sity which overcomes our natural slolh is a
blessing. Every bfar and thorn which is
strewn in our path, every noxous plant
which the world contains, and every annoy
ing insect which appears to surround US, by
divine mercy, could no! have been spared
We are happier with the sterlity which
we can overcome, by our united exections,
than we could have been by Spontaneous
plenty, and unbounded p1o(usion
No way can the body and nina be 50
morally and efecually improved, as by the
toll that fa,igues them. Ths. toll receives
its manifold rewards daily, by the pleasure
| it bes,ows. The enjoymen,s are so varied
and peculiar, that no wealth can purchase
them, no honour can win them, no indo-
| lence can taste them.
