a BEAUTiFUL THotGHT take the
following beautiful passage from an address
Of Theodore Romeyn, Esq. Of Detroit, before
the Literary Societies Of Ratger's College, on
Oar country and her claims.
As in the light of cultivated reason. you
on look abroad, you see wealth Of beauty,
a profusion Of goodness in the works Of Him

painted the bird and enamclled the insect
In the simplest and most universal Of His
laws. you can SSead this lesson An uneduca-
ted man dreams not Of the constituents Of the
common sunlight, which now in its splendor
floods the armament and the landscape. lie
cannot comprehend how much Of the lovelI-
ness Of the world results from the composite
character of light and from the rejecting pro-
perties Of most physical bodies Ii instead OF
red, yellow and blue. which the analysis Of
tie prism and the experiments Of absorption
have shown TO be its constituents, It had been
homogeneous, simple white, how changed
would all have been. The growing corn and
the ripe harvest, the blossom and the fruit,
the fresh greenness Of spring, and autumns

rivulet the emerald Of the river, and the
purple of the ocean. would have BEEN alike
unknown. The rainbow would have been
but paler streak in the gray sky. and dull
yapors would have canopicd the sun, instead
ofthe clouds; which in dyes Of flaming bril-
liancy curtain his rising up and going down
Nav, there would have been no distinction
between the bloom Of childhood, and tue flush
Of health and the paIeness Of decay, the hec-
tic Of disease and the liyidness Of death
There would have been an unvaried, IN
meaning leadcu hue. where We now see the
changing and expressive countenancc, the
