Bible. even seems to love variety for 'alletys
sake. and many times to put forth creative
energy in the stranccst forms, for the very
purpose of showing his creatures what he
can DO. and bv what variety of means he
can accomplish his designs.
But there is generally liscoverablc pro-
prictv. an appropriateness, in Gods adapta-
ton of means to ends, both in nature and
revelation. When properly understood these
adaptations appear neither capriclous nor
gro:c>1uc. As to the story Of Jonah-'n
simple and r,i,ic aye. in community OF SAIL
ors and fishermen. in a country where dis
tructivc monsters of the deep had for ages
been the terror and often the ruin of the sea-
shore settlements, that could be bcttcr-flttcd
to impress the people with fear of the awful
mower of Col, to give them vivid concep-
ton of the tremendous energy of his punitive
Justice. and the imprcgnahlc security of his
protective favor, than this very fact which is
related of the prophet Jonah, and which has
often been turned to ridicu!c, by ir:cvcrcncc
sha,lowness, and sc!t-conceit: The most
dreaded enemy they knew: that their imagl
nation could conceive, which had from time

A writer 10 Blackwood's Magazine. 10 .
lengthy article on The Beverages, writes
as follows on tea: Tie peculiar effects oftea
upon the system--i,s celebrating. but nom
intoxicating proper'ics--are due to three
chemical substances: an aromatic volatile
oil. "a slightly bitter principle. rich in nitro
gen. and tanlin. or ianie acid. It's odoEifer-
GUS volatile Ingredients do not exist in the
natural leaf, but are produced in drying and
preparing il. And this is true also Of The
coffees and the cocoas. All are nearly void
Of taste and smell ia their natural state /;
while all are highly Favored and aromatic
when used, deriving these properties from
chemical substances produced within them by
processes Of drying and roasting An equal
ly singular fact bias also been ascertainsd,
and as equally true Of all our usual infused
beverages, VIZ ;ltes tn peculiar nitrogen
containing principle *hleh they held in sclu-
ton, lessons the natural wear and tear Of the
body, and thus to certain extent saves food.
Another interesting and singular fact con.
nccted with the subject is, that the tea leaf
contains very large proportion Of gluten, "a
nutritious ingredient Of plants. This sub
stance forms oue-fourth part Of their weight
il leaves. and were they palatable, SO that we
could eat them in mass, as We do the cocoa,
tea leaves would be nearly as nutritious as
beans or peas, and more strength sustaining
than wheat.
