EssayThe Spirit q Progress.
] BROWN.

The Spirit Of Progress reigns. The
Intellect Of man IS expanding. The
physical sciences are making mi ghty
strides; the world is growing
better, and morality is calming a
stronger hold in the minds of men. +
The manifestations of. progress in
the physical world are indeed mar
yelous. Fire and water have been
subdued; the sunbeam is imprisoned:
the throb Of thousand engines is
heard; mountains are pierced and
rivers are turned. The stately oak
is transformed into the neatest arti-
Giles of furniture with hardly the
touch ola human hand: improved
machinery is the. wonder 5of the
world. But greater wonders are yet
to come, The shimmering veil that
divides the material from the spirit
ual world may yet be lifted. Mag
netism which we know only by Its
effects, and electricity, that fie ry
courser of7the airy realms will, ere
long, yield up their hidden secrets to
the busy mind of man. 7 Y
Progress has stamped her imperisha-
BILE image on all that we behold. She
has traced. her legends on the rocks,
she has wrought beneath the sea, she
has left her record, in the sky. All
things are in state of activity; the
world reyolves, the sun speeds on his
way, planets whirl and flaming me-
teors with trains Of fire, shoot and
flash and burn their course along the
sky! Whence came this eeaseless
activity and whether it is tending.
we know not, but this we do know.
that plan pervades the universe, that
design is written in unmistakable
characters on the face of Nature, and
that by its very being it is destined
for a glorious end.
Mans intellect is revealing newer
and nobler truths as the years roll
on. The march Of mind continues !
all along the centuries it has been
developing, expanding, unfolding.
until out of the gloom and the mist
and the darkness, out of confusion
and chaos and night, a vision of the
ideal arises. nearer to us than to any
preceding age.

u There are continually pouring in
upon us immigrants from every
country on the globe, with the
one exception of China. We see

Veda-w orshipping Hindoo; the nj,
hilistic Russian and the anarchistic
German; the organ-grinding italian

representing every variety of polite
al and religious and belief; any gov
eminent, no government, socialism,
communism, Romanism, Protestant
ism, Atheism, and many ereeds that

We have now over eighteen mil
lions Of foreigners and they are still
coming at the rate Of half a million
ayear Are there any external signs
of a cessation of this peaceful .inya-.
sion Of orr land? Let as see.
The German people are chatting
under the iron rule Of Bismarck and
are only waiting the ChanceIlor's
death to assert their rights with the
sword which he has taught them to
USE so well. This will cause increas.
edimmigration from the Fatherland.
The throne of the Great'Alfred is al
ready tottering. \ There is but one
Gladstone ard he grows old. When
he ceases from his labors and the
good Queen dies, the United King
dom in her throes Of agony will send
us more of her paupers., The num-
beI. then, is.more likely to increase
than diminish. + !

tentioned, well meaning, law abiding
men there could be objection to their
coming. AS it is, thousands who
come are not only ignorant, poverty

: Ever, since colonies were first
planted on the American coast. this
country has been regarded as an asy
|: in for the discontinued and OPP
ptessed Of all countries. But when
these same oppressed people get to
turning this country into very bed :
lam it is time to call halt. ...a
Perhaps the best method that has
been proposed for the settlement of
this question is this: Require every
immigrant to have a card of pass
port signed by the American consul
certifying that he has not received
aid from his home government in
the twelve months just preceding,
and Furthermore provide that no
passport shall be given unless the
immigrant can read in his own
tongue.

Essay Change.
al a HiIEINER,

An Eastern Sovereign once offered
q large reward to the man who would
furnish him something new. Had
he been d philosopher he would
never have needed some one, other
than himself to discovera new thing,
for everything on examination would
have proved 50. The earth itself,
old as it is said to be, is not the
same asst was yesterday. Each suc-
cessiye day changes the aspect Of
affairs on every hand around JUS and
as well within us. :
The earth at one time was habita-
bic only to the lowest forms of life,
minute, structureless organisms from
which all other and higher organic
forms have been developed in regu-
lar succession as the earth further
cooled, changed and became ready
for them. Surrounding circum-
stances changing, compelled the. or
ganisms to vary in order to
adapt themselves to the changed cir
cumstances. These evolutions were
very slow, taking periods of time al
most beyond our comprehension.
Every animal and plant organism in
thesesseries of ages has had it's gold
en- age; man, the highest, is. now in
his. The organic kingdom is SO
much matter taken from the atmos-
phere, embodied for brief space in
living beings, dissolved by death
and returned again to the latmos-
phere whence it came. Again and
again this process goes On III never
ending circulation.
The physical realm has reached
its zenith and now comes the intel
lectual Intellect also is the result
sof development. IA series of pro-
gressiYe changes from the first APP
pearance of man to the present time
maybe and has been traced in the
intellect of humanity. u x
The physical universe has been care
fully studied by man, it's phenomena
explained, and the, laws which gov
ern all its movements and operations
are SO perfectly understood that sci
entists in these days have become
prophets in so far as these movements
and operations are concerned. But
in the realm Of intellect, in the study
of mind philosophers are all at
sea. Z < X
There lis a third species Of evolu-
ton, moral evolution, and this has as
yet not reached its zenith, but in
spite of all pessimistic doctrines the
world is without doubt steadily adj
vancing in morality, growing better
and better every day. ~ 7. =
Go forth to the world, TART, o
Science! Go forth to the innocent
and guilty-to the wise and ignorant.
Join hands with suffering virtue, and
60 forth as the still voice of fate
destiny, speak of the insecurity even
Hof goodness below, how mans des-
tiny IS still undeseloped and yet az
ways unfolding beneath the guidance
of divine Justice! Tell that above
liyeth He swho can bind the sweet
influences of the Pleiades and loose
