In the long past, what time fair science smiled
new born thing in helpless infant state,
One sang of all inventive Man-hOw great
His skill of art +; how he could render mind
The rOugh named horse, and bison of the wild,
O'erpasses the surging deep, could suhjugate
Earth, sea and air, all things-save only Fate
How language he had lernt and laws compiled
Yet scarce the poets prophet-soul OWNED
All that the coming years should bring to light,
When matter had been taught to yield to mind,
And science gained the acme of her might.
But what though all else yield him victory?
Mans victor still is Hades-and shall be.

a late sermon at Suisun, gave his hearers
piece Of information which may result hereaE-

81 have lived in great many little towns,
and great many country places; but have
never lived in any town or country place
where there are 80 very few religious men and
so small number of those who belong TO the
church, as there are in Suisun. must add,

Juno alone. He was born lame and his
mother was so displeased at the sight of him,
that she flung him out of heaven He was

who kept him for nine years in a cavern un-
der the ocean; during which time ha fashion
ed for them great variety Of trinkets and
ornaments.
All the houses, chariots and armour, and
other articles in Olympus. were made by Vul-
can. He also made various wonderful things
for his own favorites or those of Jupiter and
the other gods, among men. Alcinous king
of the Ph@acians had golden dogs, which
guarded his house; and Hetes king of Col
CHS brass-footed bulls, which guarded the
Golden Fleece,-all made by Vulcan. Vul-
can formed for Minos king of Crete brazen
