How the Universe was Made.

PRoF. MITCHELL. the eminent Astron-
omer Of Cincinnati, recently delivered a
lecture on this sublime subject, the fol-
lowing abstrac. of which we find in the
Tribune: .-a........
"How was the vast universe which
we inhabit formed? Were all the my
riads of heavenly bodies with all their
established and uniform though complex
motions insiantaneously brought into ex-
isience by the fiat of the Almighty p
Our observation shows us law of grad
nal Development. The oak does not
leap into full size and perfect form in an
instant, but is the growth of thousand
years. Look where we may, upon the
earth, We find perfection only after long
and slow development.
The problem to be solved is, whether
this analogy extends to the heavenly DO.
dies; whether they have gradually assum-
ed their present form and motion, or were
at once made perfect and Interchangeable.
To solve this problem, the lecturer pro.
posed to adopt speculative theory, ten
ding 10 show the effect of the applica-
ton oil established laws Of moiion and
attraction TO chaotic mass and then
compare the results which this theory
would predict with facts, and see how
much support it might derive from them.
The supporters of the nebulous theory,
as il is called, suppose that, originally,
matter without law, without organization,
was difIused throughout space; that,
when the power of attraction was fel. by
il, it generally became more condensed,
and assumed rotund form.
The difficulty Of believing that the
solid earth ever existed in gaseous
state is diminished when we consider the
ease with which all bodies may be redu-
ced TO gas by chemical action.
But is there any evidence of the pres
ent existence of such nebulous matter |!
will. said the speaker, recite such facts
as bear upon the question, and you must
jgdge how far they 60 towards proving
the fact. He then alluded to our atmos-
phere as material substance, subject to
the laws OF grayiiation and motion, but
OF q gaseous nature. The comets also are
subject to grayilation, for their orbits ex-
tend to uncomfortable distances from the
sun, yet his power reaches them and
brings them back. The change of form
which they undergo as they near The sun
was alluded to and explained by the sup.
position that they were ariform bodies.

denly extended itself through SO large a

TO A DESERTED HOUSE OF WOR.

BY MRS. MARY r. HALL.

BY MRS. MARY r. HALL.
Thou vert not once, what thou now art,
and yet,
The change is not in thee Thy humble
walls
Eeor not the marks of age; and thy closed
door
Swings steadily, upon its hinges still.
The dancing sunbeams, in their glory, gid
Thy windows, as in days long past; and
throw
A pcnsire light, DER seats, and sacred desk.
Summers have sped, and the tall grass haiti
grown.
As it was ever wont, around thy door;
Although. untrodden, by the foot of man:
And the wild flowers, have lifted up their
heads,
Unpluck'd, to nod at every passing breeze.
Time was; and remember WELL when thou
Vert calld a house of prayer! OFT as the
day
OF sacred rest returned; up to thy courts
We then repaired to feast on heavenly food
The man of God, in reverential tones,
Proclaimed the Law, as given on Sinai's
mount;
Or pointing up to Calvary's sacred hill
Portrayed in thrilling strains a Saviour's
love!
Then sinners trembled at the voice of God;
And newborn souls rejoiced, and praises
sang;
While listening angels, on their jeweled
wings,
Bore the glad tidings, to the court Of Hea-
venl
Within thy now deserted walls, the voice
Of prayer, hath oft been heard; the little
flock,
Now scattered, that were wont to worship
here,
Tasted, full oft, the conse Grated food,
And took upon themsevels, most holy vows.
But now It's changed, thou art deserted
now!
Sabhaths return, and yet no voice is heard
To break the solemn silence, reigning here.
/ look upon thee, as thing bereaved,
Robbed of thy charms-of all thy beauty
shorn,
And my heart sickens, at the gloomy sight
The dismal moaning of the wintry winds,
Through leafess boughs, requiem seem to
sigh; ........
Ger thy desertion, and thy scattered flock,
Which never more in an unbroken band
Shall meet to cheer thee with their songs of
praise
Then fare thee well into our Father S
house,
mot made with hands, eternal in the heav-
ems"
We hope to rest our weary, trembling souls.
Where tears shall all be wip'd from every
eye!

System every thing that had tried for this purpose had

effect of the application Of the GALvANIC BELT AND
