THE SEA AND IT'S LAws.-Leut Maury. in
his recent work on the Physical Geography Of
the Sea- published by the Harpers, thus beau
titully refers to the laws. of the sea:
harmonious in their action, the air and sea
are obedient to law and subject to order in all
their movements; when we consult them in
the performance of their offices, they teach us
lessons concerning the wonders of the deep,
the mysteries of the sky, the greatness and
the wisdom and goodness of the Creator. The
investigation into the broad spreading circle
of phenomena, connected with the winds of
heaven and the waves of the sea- are second
to none for the good which they do and the
lessons which they teach. The astronomer is
said to see the hand of God in the sky; but
does not the rightminded mariner, who looks
aloft as he ponders over these things. hear
his voice in every wave of the sea that 'claps
its hands, and feel his presence in every
breeze that blows?"
