The town of Noesis exists still. Its in
babitsrts are vet seeking &c roae!=@te the
arcana of nature. Logarithms ords and
abscissas are their JOY by day, and par
alaxes eliptics and spectrum analysis are
their delight by night. They still cry out
against Greek and Latin, and point the
finger of scorn at bellies lettres. They live
in the domain of pure reason, surrounded
BY set of fixed laws reducible to mathe-
NAUTICAL formul,e. Doubtless they fancy
themselves the hsppiest people on earth
but some day they will know the truth, for
Alfred and Hypstia are ever with them,
preaching the gospel of poetry and love.
