What ,ce Mean on Science.

The following which we copy from the
initial number of Appleton's journal, we
commend To the careful reading Of those
who do not regard it as virtue to sneer
at Science or the "ologies:"
In its prevailing use, the term science
suggests special kind OF know ledge
which is different from common knowl'
edge and pertains TO Il particular class OF
objects which are looked upon AS foreign
to the interests of common life. II is gen
orally regarded as relating to external or
physical objects, and calls up ideas o!
minerals, insects. or drug-shops, or elec-
trical exhibitions, with copious iiicra
ture of forbidding terms, or the discovery
of new mineral or a steroid. novel
chemical process, a hitherto und.escrlned
zoophyte, or the latest inventive eXpI"N
in the way of chorus.
The time has come when this noble
term should be redeemed from these de-
Grading associations, and made to stand
for the larger and higher things which it
now truly represents. Science is not the
peculiar property of few persons, who
spend their days in watching bugs or
their nights in watching stars.
The literal meaning of the word science
is to know. But it has been found that
there are two kinds of knowing; We may
know subject loosely and vaguely, or
with clearness and precision. So impor-
tant has this distinction now become, that
it is necessary to mark itin language,and
so the word science has come to be APP
piled to one of those kinds of knowledge
it means to know accurately. In the
course of time and experience, knowledge
slowly passes from the indefinite TO the
definite, from the vague to the precise.
This change is oI the nature OF growth,
and hence its quality, science may be de-
fined as the higher or more perfect stage
of developing knowledge.
Such being the essential character ol
science, the question next arises, how
much does the term comprehendP Our
knowledge of nature is all OF this growing
or progressing kind. In every aspect OF
the natural world the explanations were
at first crude and imperfect. and have
gradually ripencdinto greater distinctnes
and precision. We are thus brought tC
tho full breadth Of meaning Of tho t,ru

NJ s. h. R..a, ,-oa, in a sketch of
gn. g, me T,ci.ic" trip for
.Ae = iera T,75nae, gives the follow
,ng:
AT Pi,.lmont we begin tn climb up to
the rim ol he Utah basin. Here Is the
,harnest horseshoe on thu Union Pacific
"A five degree curve upon lilty-tve
feet grade. The Pennsylvania Central
horseshoe, on the Alleghanies, has
grade of more than 100 feet.
At Wasatch, on the crest. we sup
sumptuously upon trout; then we drop
down into the basin by ninety feet grade
whooping through tunnels. and screech-
ing through cuts For thirty miles this
descent continues. AZ Echo, the other
evening, three f:eight trains stood upon
the main track. when word came flashing
over the telegraph from the superlntcnd-
ent. "A locomotive and tender, without
steam up, and with nobody on board
have broken from a freight train ana
started down grade" All. then and there
was hurry ing to and fro!
In few minutes came a second mes
sage-"She has just passed Castle Rock
Station Never were three trains got
OH upon siding with less delay. Then
the workmen piled Sieepers high upon
track. Lest even that should not stop
her" and she shor'' ! murd,r further
down the road, they tore up the .aiIs be-
low inst as this was accomplished she
came in sight. She shot through the
slecpcrs like bullet through pine
board, sending them flying in all direc-
tons. and darkening the air with the
splintcrs. But at the broken track she
jumped up and down with vexation, ana
finally plunged angrily head-foremost IN
to hill. side. She had run 26 miles in ~
minutes-thc best time yet made upon the
road!
Through Echo and Weber canons by
dim starlight, we note the inspiring seem

enjoy it. Slowly ours crawls on a huge
reptile with eye OF fire, now hesitatlng'

LOVE LIGHT.

eco down to the meadow at break Of day;
Go down to the meadow, son John,
And labor away among the sweetest hay
That ever the sun shone on
And John went down to the meadow-land,
But he saw not the clover sweet,
And the sky wasilun, for he missed the sun,
Though il Redeemed his brow with heat,
lie missed the sun. and he missed the light
And the world seemed upside down
Till he caught the sight of smle so bright,
And a linsey-woolsey gown.
Till nc caught the sight Of golden head,
And a fair and merry face,
When so bright and round, with q sudden bound
The sun went up in its place
The sun went up and the light came down,
And the field was all aglow,
While his heart kept time to the merry rhyme
ofthe reapers' song below.
And Mary she laughed al her lovers mood
As she turned from MS fond carcss,
Though the south wind blew, from her lips SO true
The sweet little answcr-"Yes."
"oh. wherefore 80 glad - said Farmer Gray;
"oh, wherefore so glad, son John =
For the storm today spoiled the sweetest hay
That ever the sun shone on.
But John knew nothing of the rain or food,
And nothing OF ruined hay
For the flowers ofjoy to the farmers boy
We're scattered along the way.
And merry the wedding-bells rang cut,
And merry the pipers did play,
At the golden dawn ofthe happy morn
That ushered the marriage day.
