Our luxurious table preparations, too,
have something 10 DO with all thlsi our
better halves spending 80 much OF Their
precious time between the four walls OF
The kitchen preparing those daintIe-,
which help 20 corrupt the appellei SUI
peiy the active powers OF man, mentally
aud physically, and they themselves de-
prlyo their bodies Of much noedn rest,
and time TO read and think, and thus de-
ve'op the mental part OF their being,
capacitatIng themselves iOg greater real
tnjoyments In life.
Our ascent as q nation has been rapid
above all nations; and ~ II not reason
able TO suppose that our fall may be
equallyrapidY May heaven forbid such
doom,
And now ~ we are In possession Of
these great and glorious blessings and
az knowledge Is power, let us turn our
attention TO the Improvement Of our
mental capacity. Fifty or sixty years
AGO II was thought enough II the boys
could read, write, and cipher 70 therule
OF three, aud the girls read only; or In
case one had q lover nj some distance,
too far FOR him TO appear In person, she
ought TO bG able to write In order to
communicate with him. And as for
books, we dared have none but our
school books and Bible, and county
paper was no more welcome In the fam
ily than PrOte0us would have been with
all his horns on. But, thank fortune,
the days Of such i0gyism have passed
away, and we now can read, think ana
improve our minds and percepllye pow
ers, and be enabled 10 grapple with the
different scenes Of the day
And what pleasure II N 10 hold
sweet converse with nature and natures
God. Az we walk In the garden OF
blooming flowers, the alfactory nerve is
delighted with the sweet perfume e%-
haled thereirom; aud with power Of q
proper knowledge we can pluck these
flowers, hand them 70 each other, ana IN
this manner hold silent set pleasant
conversation. Aud when we cast our
eyes abroad, and view the earth with It's
teeming milliOnaOf intelligent accOun'
table beings; then al0ft, aud scan the
worlds above Of immeasurably greater
magnitude, accompanied by their con
c0mltants, many millions OF miles from
the sun, their common center, around
which they rey0lye In regular order,
constituting the solar system, Then,
again, we cNst our eyes al0it, and see
that little twlnkling star away y0nder,
which, a. clrdlng TO science, is the com.
mon center OF another system with It's
myriad Of orhs revolving around II, and
away yonder sOnother over y0nder an
other, aud y0nder another, over there
still another, aud another, and 30 on IN
the south, eOst, west and north, up and
down, all ie full Of systems, And NJ
though light dies at the rate OF 1900
coo OF miles per minute, II ~. supposed
the Light Of some Of them has not yet
reached our earth since Che erection,
All these compose our Fathers hOuee,!n
which II IS said there ore many man.
slons, one for me, one for you, aud for
all such that will form the character
here that viii admit them, In which |
house Wo can enjoy ourselves h0 happy, |
and travel all through It; not with yehi. !
Giles OF lightning speed, but with the
velocity Of thought never tire or get
weary, advancing, improving, aud pro-
crossing towards an equality with De-
ity, yet without the possibility OF ever
arriving upon an equality with Him,
But as we are not there yet, lot us come
back again to mother earth, and with |
this faint knowledge Of an uniathoma-
BILE universe, let us consider our utter
insignifcance and feel grateful to Him
who does so much, and cares for us, feel
ing willing and submissive enough TO
toll on, labor on, IN horticultural dress
ing and keeping their garden, thus All-
ing our mission on earth, until our de
llyerer come, j, MOCK,
