the germ of all the special sciences since un-
folded. Men indeed had not followed the in
ducive method great way before discovering
that nature is infinite in the number and diver
sity of her special phenomena as well as IN her
cosmicc! expansion. The determination OF one
fact in any one direction OF study, instead OF
satisfying inquiry, was found to create want
OF further information by betraying the exist
ence OF greater or less number OF unsus-
pected and often very puzZlng appearances
living beyond it. To ascertain the cause OF
these appearances, further Investigations be-
came necessary. From the very complexlty
itself Of n1ture it resulted that the ATTAIN
ment Of accurate knowledge, in one particu-
lar, involved the necessity OF attaining equal
" accurate knowledge in several o5her
related particulars and consequently the
observer was led 10 expend much
greater amount :of time and labor on
every several object OF research than could at
6rst have been anticipated. The growth OF
positive or empirical knowledge, once begun,
was found to be of such nature that the more
it grew. the more must 1t continue TO grow,
and that, in short, 50 eyhaustess was the va
riety OF phenomena in the unity OF nature, no
limit could be assigned to the continuous ac-
cumulatiou ofphyslcal knowledge but those bar
rler5 imposed By time and soace, and the JIM
perfection of The senses. and OF the meaHe OF
iocomotion possessed by man. Even these
barriers however, 10 some extent gave way
when America was made known to Europe;
when the telescope aui microscope we're ia

cherlical analysis came TO be better under
stool By such means new wOr Is OF dlscoV-
ery of an Infinite richness, far ex; ;eding the
conceptions of the proioun1est thinkers, were
disclosed to observation. Science became. we
might almost say, suddenly emanclpated from
the bondage OF unlimited speculation. ana
fouud herself free in the midst OF the untold
intellectual wealth of the physical universe.
She 5000 realized, however, that the necessary
coudltion OF enjoyment is labor. The masses
of material derived from all sources increased
so rapidly from day to day, that enthusiasm
gradually settled down to tho humber sphere
of systematic work, and even then the worker
found the possibility of mastering the whole

Humboldt. in spirit, travelled all these worlds,
and whatever he gathered he brought with lib

That such man should have been regarded

contemporarles is not subject OF wonder.

AN ASCENDING BANKER.-Mr. &.
Dorwin, of the firm of DOrwin d Co.,
bankers in Montreal, absconded from
that city few days ago leaving labil-
litios of $3.50, 600, Of which amount, it is
said, $4,000 is due to parties in New
York and Boston. 1t is believed he
took with him less than $1,000. He
made his appearance at Hinesburg, VT,
where he has relatives, on Monday, the
18th inst, and seemed completely over
come by remorse for his unfortunate
and criminal transactions, and express
ed desire to make the best arrange
mont he could with his creditors. Two
of them, the Burlington Free Press says
had an interview with him on Saturday
but failed to conclude any arrangement
with him. He has declared his willing
ness to return to Montreal and give up
all his property worth about S30, 900, to
his creditors, on condition that he shall
no be prosecuted criminally.
