The profoudest philosophers, after
having spent their lives In diving into
the deepest secrets Of nature, exploring
all the wonders OF science and expert
menting upon both the pslpabie and i'm
ponderabls forces and organisms, apply
70 their Investigations the vigOr Of pene-
~tFation, the mighty analysis Of reason,
and the lofty flights OF genius, ave con

siOns Of disappointment, declaring with
touching in-genuOusness that the vast re-
sources Of nature we're beyond the
reach OF their utmost industry,

g0es on the acquisition Of one piece OF
knOwledge becomes but the stepping
stone by which another fragment Of
what was the unknown is brought
within the limits Of our e0gnifion, and
thus some triumPhs are won, even from
the deep secrets OF Newton's ocean.
Some Of these secrets may yet be imper-
feetly apprehended, their initiate depth,
their vast circumference may lie far be-
yond the EXTREMIST grasp Of our laboring
thought, and yet we may obtain scintil-
latiOns full Of wonder, and the grandest
advantage to science and 70 human hap
piness.
