MAN AND THE INFINITE.

System of Nature! To the wisest man,
wide as Is his vision, Nature remains Of
quite infinite depth, of quite infinite ex-
ransion; and all experience thereof linn
it's itself to some few computed centur-
les, and measured square miles. The
course of Natures phases, on his own
little fraction of planet. is partially
known to us; but who knows what deep
err courses these depend on; what inf
nitely larger cycle (of causes) our little
epicycle revolves on? To the minnow
every Granny and pebble, and quality
and accident. uf its little native creek
may have become familiar; but does the
minnow understand the ocean tides and
periodic currents, the trade winds and
monso0ns and moons eclipses; by all
which the conditions of its little creek
is regulated, and may, from time to
time (unmiraculously enough). be quite
overset and reversed? Such a minnow
IS man; his creek this planet earth; his
ocean the immeasurable All; his mon
soons and periodic currents the mysrter-
ious course of Providence through
aeons of aeons.-Carlyle.
