Man as an Individual and as a Mem'
her Of Society.

MAN is most wonderful and mysterious be.
ing-the most perfect and exalted of the works
of God i'll this lower world. His physical struc-
ture, even in its present lapsed condition, fra
gile, and subject to disease and death as it is,
bears distinctly the marks of its diUine orig in.
Its various parts-their ir mutual dependence
their separate and combined action-.-the adep-
tation of each to the end designed--all, all
evince such consummate wisdom, benevolence
and power in its Creator, as prove him 70 be
absolutely perfect.
But when we turn our attention from this
inimitably organized system ITSELF 10 the in.
terSal principle by which it is act'lated and
governed, we discern more clearly still his ex-
alted being. The mind! how varied and oe.
yond comprehension are its powers! Who
can draw line over which it cannot pass il
pursuit of knowledge! And how mysterious
How the mind can convey g knowledge of it
own decisions to the nerves, and meet with {
corresponding action from the appropriate or
gan, is q problem which human ingenuity hai
never solved. But his heart is as wonderful Al
his intellect. He may not only kntap, he may
love--not simply himself, or his fullow--bu
his God, whom to know Alright is life eternal
He NAV not only hold communion with men
but with the Deity. Here is scope tor the ex
ercise of every faculty. Jehovah is the eentr'
of bliss 20 the creature. Here he should fin,
his supreme delight; every emotion Of the sou
should beat in sweetest unison with the divin,
will. But man too is a social creature--en
dowed with suitable faculties for social enjoy
ment. He can confer as well as rseeiVs hap
piness. Both are the viii Of the Creator; tn
former as much as the latter. God has boun
humanity together by strong ties; n cOmmol

How BRIGHT and beautiful nature appears
this glorious evening The full moon sheds
her silver light over earth, and the stars seem
to rejoice in the beauty Of the scene. The
cool and refreshing breath of the zephyr, after
the DAYS toll and sunshine, revives the droop-

thankful heart to our ever gracious Benetactor,
who forgets not the meanest or the least de-
serving of his creatures, but who mindfully
cares for all, and giveth them food and raiment
in due season.

endeavoring to divine what new and untastcd
