 As Co who or what man is, has been veighty theme from time immemorial until the present, nor is it likely that 1t will ever cease to be one of most thrilling interest All along the flow of ages, giant intellects have stood up in their majesty, and spoken in their might eloquent words to the listen ing throngs (upon the stage, m the forum ana pulpit,) all they knew about this wonderful l being, while others, with racy pens, have ex- hatu.ed their fad of knowledge :n writing, | until multiplied volumes of variods degrees ] of merit have been brought forth to swell the libraries of the world And, after all, this theme appears as ineXhaustible to-day as thousand years ago, and is AS likely to remain the same thousand years to come. Lord Byron, when writing upon this subject, and in a flood of admiration, exclaimed: "Ihe greatest study of mankind is Man." While do not fully agree with this author in placing man the highest, yet l am willing to award to him the second place. There are thousands of interesting studies beneath him, with scarcely plural his equal, and with only one above him-that is God
 Of all the students of nature, comparatively few have a satisfactory knowledge of God and man. With the microscope they will travel down the gradations of organic life, delighted to find the most insignificant mote floating in the air or feeding upon leaf, or swimming for time in a single drop; then, with the telescope sweep the heavens, and behold with admiration and awe the magnitude, numbers and distances Uf the heavenly bodies moving in all their silent grandeur and shining in the inimitable glory ef limitless creation and it is to be feared, that with many, moro pleasure is to be derived from the study of mote, a speck or a star than the two infinitely higher aud diviner beings, namely, God an' man. "Ruow thyself," is an utteranc almost divine, to which earnest heed shoul be given, even though it consume lifetim to half solve the complicated problem. Fact are facts within ourselves, and altogethe beautiful because truthfal and, there, shoul be understood by all who make honest pre tentions to any considerable share of intell gence.

This coin bears the image of Caesar.
 THE BODY.
 This wonderful body is the most comp .csted piece of selfadjustng machine known; composed of bones, muscles. nerv' arteries, veins, fragments, joints and so for, and which represents one-ffth of all the gu . world. It is the most beautiful as we'll the most wonderful of all earthly foru which, as a casket, indicates in some degr the more exceeding value of those higher lures contained within.
