The Prc-A damite World.

There is noble passage in Lucreiius, in
which he describes snv"ge in the eafly
e'nges the orId, when men We're yet con-
tending with beasts the possession Of the
earth, flying with loud shrieks through the
woods from the pursuit Of sotie favenous
aiima !, unable tu 10 bricate arms for his de
fence, and without II to staunCh the stream
ing wuthd inflicted on him by bis ar footed
competitor. But there is deeper subject Of
speculation, il We carry our thoughts back to
that still enrler period when beasts of the
field and forest held undivided sway; when
Thanian bfuies, whose race has been long
extinct, exercised terr fc despotism over
the subject earth; and that "bure forkea ami
mall" who is pleased to dub himself til"
"Lord Of the Creation," had not been called
0p oet Of the dost to assume his sef.assum.
ed Supremacy. Philosophers and geologists
discover in the bowels of the earth itself in
disputuble proofs that it must have been for
mauy centuries nothing more than an ar2~1
for monstera. We have scarcely penetrated
beyond It's surface but, whenever any con.
vnsion of nature affurds US little deeper
insight into her recesses, we seldom fail to
discover sfossil remains oil gigantic creatures,
ihosgh amid oil these organize fragments,
we never encounter the slightest truce Of
any humun relics.
How strange the thought, that for mum
erous, perhaps innumerable centuries this
most beautifnl pageant Of the world perform.
ed it's magnificent evolulons, the sun ard
moon rising and setting, the seasons follow
ing their appointed SUGGESTIONS, and the
eceon uproIlpg Ns ihvafiSle tides, for no
Stber. apparen, purpose than that lions and
tigers might retire bowling to their dens os
the shaking Of the ground proclaimed the
spcroach Of the mammoth, or that bekemoth
might perform bis Hnweidly Gounderines in
the deep! How Sewildering the ida that
the glorious armament aAd it's constellated
lights, and the vari.colored cloads tkat hang
like pictures upon it's sides, end the perfume
which the flowers scatter from their painted
censers, and the blushing fruits that deligk,
the eye not less than the palate, aud the
perpetual music Of the winds, waves, and
woods, should have been formed for the re.
