The Natural Sciences.

Il
This is material world. Matter
and force are its elements. To finite
minds nature is God, and her laws are
His attributes; and hence, while study.
ing the natural sciences, VIC hold com.
munion with Him who is the embodi-
ment of all matter and force.
Every pursuit Of man involves and
IS based upon matter and force
Wealth itself is but matter; we live
upon it and toll for its possession. The
farmer, mechanic, laborer, artist, en-
glneer, physician, merchant, lawyer,
all operate with or upon matter and
force. Is it not important, therefore
that since every pursuit of man in
wolves these two elements, we should
iully understand the properties and
combinations Of the various kinds
Of matter, the laws governing
the different kinds of forces with their
effects upon the different kinds Of
matter? Can We reasonably expect
to operate successfully with that
which we do not fully understand
We send our children to school to
prepare them to make support, and
yet how few Of them know anything
about the sciences-about this matter
and force with which they are to
operate. We send them into the
vineyard to make support. knowing
nothing of the soil they till, or of the
vine they grow. viii not their sue.
cess be purely accidental?
One after another new properties
have been discovered in the various
substances which surround us. until
at the present time, few are known
which are not applied to some pur-
p, Sc, useful to man. This has
steadily continued until the convic-
ton is forced upon us that everything
was created for a purpose, and that
everything on this earth was created
for man. Granting this, does it not
follow that that the study of the natu-
raj sciences is duty imposed by the
CREATOR Otherwise, are all those sub
stances and forces created in vain. and
we hide our talent upder bushel?
Again, TO what is all our progress in
civilization due? Manifestly, TO the
new applications Of the properties of
matter, or the forces Of nature to the
purposes of life.
Whether we study geology, mine
ralogy, botany, chemistry, the animal
or vegetable kingdom, the senses are
exercised in the discrimination of
form, size, weight, color, taste and
odor. In astronomy aud natural
philosophy the highest mathe.
matical talent is required.
AT every step in all the
branches Of science, we are led to in
quire into the cause of results, or
phenomena, and comparisons are con-
stantly to be made. The further we
advance the broader does the field
open, until We become impressed with
a sense of humility at our limited
knowledge. Something beautiful is
constantly met with, and we are moved
to gratitude for the wonderful adapta-
tion of every thing to our wants.
Thus, as course of study for pre-.
pairing children, both boys and girls,
to engage in the pursuits of life, to en-
able them to form accurate opinions
upon all practical subjects, to expand
the mind, to develop all the faculties,
intellectual and moral, the study OF
the natural sciences stands pre- en-
inent. G.

Louisville Post Dispatch, l6.
Mr.. Parnell will be here Thursday
night, and he should be received as
one who asks aid for suffering peo-
pie. All divisions and discussion
should cease, and the whole city
should unite in offering to Ireland
substantial evidence of our sympathy.
The cause Of her misfortunes and the
remedy is not worth while to consider.
1t may be that Mr.. Parnell was not
the best ambassador to send to Amer
lea, but he has come; he tells of hun
ger that is unappeased, he tells of
men and women and children asking
for bread. Yes, we have poor of our
own, and sufferers in our midst, but
Ireland takes nothing from them; in
deed, Ireland's appeal should so
touch our hearts that we will be more
eager to aid those about US.
