Progression.

Progression is a law of Nature; and every
visible thing created by God plainly illus
trates, and furnishes abundant proof Of this
statement. The onward march Of the arts
and sciences in past ages, and Of everything
which tends to polish society, or to elevate
the human soul, furnish striking evidence of
the same immutable law; and the new de-
velopments and mighty advances made in the
scientific world at the present day, plainly
exhibit the same tendency to advance, and
furnish unmistakable proof that every being
possesses the same progressive principles.
Even the terrestrial sphere itself, which
was once probably mere gaseous formation,
by the combined action of certain elements,
together with Times maturative influence,
after the lapse of unnumbered ages become
inhabitable and from the union of an ade-
quate supply of the most refined particles of
matter from the mineral and vegetable king
doms, affected by the action of certain life
giving principles, there sprang the very low
est order of the animal creation, which, by
being united with other particles of matter,
and by gradually becoming developed, we see
its hig hest state of perfectbility vested in the
human form. And being endowed with high
intellectual faculties, and possessed of gifts
towering far above those of the rest Of the
animal creation around him, man has ever
sought to trace from the effect, the cause, to
explore some field in the world Of science
formerly unknown, and to arrive at some
great object never before attained. Owing
to the very nature Of the circumstances by
which he is surrounded it becomes necessary
for man to make some effort, to use some ex-
ertions, to devise some method of gaining a
sustenance, and thus were his inventive fac
ulties called into action; thus was road
opened for "Sweet Art to ascend her lofty
throne, and thus was another link added to
the endless chain of human progress.
As man became more intimately acquaint-
ed, and more closely connected with the ex-
ternal objects around him, he found himself
fearfully involved in the intricacy of igno.
rance respecting the source from which they
had sprung and of the laws by which they
were governed. As he tremblingly gazed in
to the armament, spanged with the glitterng
orbs of night, and sought to explore the
boundess realms of space, he found himself
nearly overwhelmed by a superstitious fear
though lost in wonder, admiration and sub.
Unity. But being possessed Of a natural
desire for the acquisition Of knowledge, he
plunged deep into the mysteries of all the
fair creation of beauty and sublimity around
above, beneath him, and, in the language o.
the poet,
Nothing hath got SO far,
But Man hath caught, and kept 1t, as his prey,
His eyes dismouut the highest stars
He is, in little, all the sphere"
Although possessed of no evidence of thu
existence of a superior Being, except tina
furnished by the external senses, man wal
actuated by simple impulse of his nature
to adore some unknown, imaginary, super-in

sour Father, we thank thee tor
Sleep"

,s Our Father we thank thee for Sleep
seen that with neryeess touch binds down the eyeds
And shuts out intrudng cares that troop unbdden
Through the inner temples of the brain in waking hours
When expelled by sleep they and fierce assailing
Forgetfuness doorkeeper of the brain in time Of rest
Admjttance gain again, and dance in wanton
Wildness through the beaueous chambers couched for
dreams
As the mind like a strong man from his labors
Lies down and for time is lost, then oh sleep
Thou reign'st supreme.
Dreams are shadows then,
That knocking at the pondrous gateways of
sumbering sense, are frightened at the echos
of their own creation, and with fatal tremblings
Glide into silence and are lost,
Dying as softly does the fated snowflake
That seeks Its couch in the decetful waters
OF deep river, lured by the soft reflection
OF its sweet face, and ready to meet
The bright companions that beckon him on
And rise to meet him, he finds alas, too late
The treacherous deception and sinks without murmur
And mingles with the and in his turn
Sucks out the life of friends that follow.
Health brings sleep, while disease in turn
So lashes in its wild delirum the beaueous watcher,
That she frightened fees, and in the distance stands
With fearful eyes, while pae-browed sympathy
o'er her shoulder locks, her soothing hands
Upon her bosom clasped, vain endeavor
To still the signs which struggle through
Oh sleep, how art thou
Courted by the rich and great yet contest unbidden
To nestle In the humble cradle of the forest child
Nature receives thee with sunset smiles, and finds
Sweet sustenance in thy breath-the balmy
Night winds-lued by whose sweet music
She drops into thine and is robed anew
To greet the golden glories of morrow's sun.
sour Father we thank thee for seep,''
For as the eyelids close, the mind slips out
And Is gone to drive the brilliant chariot of Dreams
Let it not like the tabled god of old
&c Grow dizzy with untrodden heights,'
And with unwonted speed dash the fragile
Among the sturdy rocks of cold reality,
Scattering bright fragments along the waysde of III
To lie like Jewels bright, but broken, and remind us
or what might have been but guide thou
The unskilled Jehu of the brain
And lead him by the crystal bar
That spans the pearly gate of Paradise.

SPEAK TO THIS YOU'VE MAN.-How many
young men there are in all our cities who,
away from home and friends, and exposed to
the allurements of tempter, need the arm Of
Christian love to be thrown around them to
guide them into the ways of righteousness.
How simple an act to speak to such a young
man, and invite him to the house of God. But
who can estimate the result?
In recent meeting of the New York
Presbytery, widely known and highly re-
spected ruling elder of the old Brick church
in this city, stated the following impressive
fact. Many years ago. a young man, a
stranger in this city, on certain Thursday
evening was passing down Fulton-street, when
gentleman accosted him and invited him to
attend lecture to be delivered by the pastor
in neighboring church to which he belonged.
Like many other irreligious young men, he
was prejudice against that minister's preach
ing, but after some urgent persuasion he con-
sented to 60. He went, listened, was moved,
and his prejudices vanished. From that night
he never ceased to attend that church, to listen
with pleasure to the voice of that man Of God.
Pointing to the venerable Rev. DR.. Spring,
he added, There sits that pastor who has
from that eventful night been my spiritual
guide. shall never cease to remember with
gratitude and affection the good church.

his pastors weekly lecture"
