Life never had the ,ulmss of meaning that it has now. The present century, and especially the last twenty y nrs, have given to life an enlargement, t scone, an intense ness, that have imparted a ww and deeper signfican.ee to manhood. Talk as we may of the past, it was never so great a thing t<> be a man as in this ge. Over the centuries gone, there is oast a soft, mystical vail, that pleases the fancy while it obscures the rea son ; and therefore it is easy for our roman tic minds to find in them the high-seasoned food on which their spice-loving nature de lights to feed. The best features, too, of the past are only preserved for poets, and histo rians are not much inclined to take the ma terials of iheir arts from the revolting as pects (>f humanity. The past is like our own childhood, we see it in ideal splendors. Time is a merciful friend, and is very con siderate of our stern, common-sense facili ties, it graciously hides much from our eyes, leaving, for the most part, only such objects as tend tc awaken the glow of imagination, and inspire the fervor of generous enthusi asm. Despite of all ihis veneration for the past, it is clear to every thinking mind, that the present century has been a most munifi cent benefactor to the human family, sur passing far all its predecessors in width and depth of influence; stirring the hearts of men with anew and perplexing consciousness of an amazing destiny, impelling them forward in a pathway where every step is an ascen sion toward a more commanding height of great ness. There is a childish cant abroad, —and sanctioned, too, by some respectable names —that pretends to find fault with everything like warrnih and earnestness in the appreci ation of the wonders of the day. We call it childish , —and childish it certainly is; for. there is nothing ‘man-like i-.< that stole insen sibility to the present, and tba; over-ween ing partiality for the past, which reveise it right every just sand >rd of judgment, aud deprive us, with in ill-concealed vindic tiveness, ot a toot-hold among the stable facts of the age. No wise man reflects the least credit on himself or honors the scheme of providential progress as it evolves its mystery and magnificence from generation to generation, by under tabling to-day and reserving Ins heartiest plaudits tor yesterday. So far from this being the genuine out-work ing ot nature, it is a h.ise and eoroding nior- bidncss which betrays its birth in a cynical contempt for what is truly grand and noble. Such a spirit does violence to all our better instincts. To day is God’s d.-pensation to our needs; it is tbs embodim nt to us of Divine purposes and aims—His offering to our hopes—His invocation to our activity and ambition —His great ensign hung out from the over-looking he;, vena for ns to watch and follow. Toe past was His appeal to other minds and other hearts; and al though it were a grave error t o suppose that we are to turn our eyes away from his form er manifestations; yet it is the plainest dic tate of both faith and philosophy to believe that the present is a Divine gift, to us in a much more impressive sense than the past. The present is the correllative of our t ste-, sentiments and capacity—the prophecy ol t.he Infinite to ?, —anil primarily, to us alone. Nothing, then, in the past, can be on the same level in interest, and momentousness with the present; nothing can have a tithe of the same value; for nothing that the world has hitherto seers can come recom mended to our acceptance with such tokens of the Almighty’s direct presence But apart from this general r< spect of the present as connected with tlie principles and pursuits of life, there is the additional mo tive, already intimated, of the high and in trinsic worth of this age, teken in relation to the developments of intellectual, moral and social manhood. Allow a liberal draw back on the age for its folly; extravagance, irrational, (ojten impious) thinking; and still it is true— forcibly true—that manhood nv er stood at the attitude it now stands; never had such an investure of rights, privileges and possibilities; never had such openings into the wealth of the universe. Admit, as we gladly may, our obligations to other gen erations, it is, nevertheless, a fact that this age occupies its own independent ground, and enjoys its own distinctive honors. Not only has it greatly extended the pre-occu pied realms of thought, but it has entered on territories, vast and powerful us its own; and annexed them, as sure possessions of princely value, the ierr coynitaa of an older date. It has established and well nigh per fected some of the older -ciences; while it has been equally successful in laying the foundation and raising the superstructure of sciences, for which the vocabulary of our ancestors had not even names. In the in ventions that multiply and facilitate labor; in the applications of skill and ingenuity that tend to give us mastery over the physical force ot nature; in the better modes of in tercouse: and above all because holier than all, in these seleeter forms of thought that lift man above himself and introduce him to the “fellowship of the Infinite,” the present century is without a rival. Whether we look, therefore, at the actual discoveries of the age, or at the great leading sentiments which persuade ail far-reaching minds; or at the fresh, buoyant, humanizing spirit all abroad in the hearts of men, “ the day in which we live” is foil of striking significance. it, is a day to I e thankful for.— a day to bless 1 with such thankgivings as 01 v ILo j our nature when it is couse; us o 1 a L‘ ■ i into a larger freedom of thought ands : ! a day that brings the : esource. o .iu--in:pit - ‘within its g” -]* and -a: • s>s, -v- - s * | senses, a glory wiihin reach <■. - . Now it cannot be doubted that the pu ent century has placed man on far better terms with invisible nature than he has ever been before. If he has not a profound in sight into the great system with which he is intimately identified, he is steadily m wing in that direction. The stops already taken have been neither few uor incoii-iderable, and the ground made good by the certain ties of science, is vantage ground for further and more rapid progress. Men of this day have measurably lost their sensibility to surprise. Novelty is a •conirnou-plaoe affair. But if one were to draw out a catalogue of those staple articles which have been recently added to the ma terials of domestic and foreign commerce, it would astonish him to see how largely in dustry has been a gainer by the progress of this century. Who would have thought a few years ago, that immense rafts of him .-er would be seen floating down our noriheni rivers to supply wood for the insignificant match? Who would have dreamed that, ice, India-rubber, and Gutta-Percha would have contributed so much to our activity | and wealth? Nor should we omit to notice the new uses to which substances long knovvu have been put. Animal bones, in some parts, instead of being left to bleach in the air, are convei ted into manure for the soil. Wood, stone aud iron are wrought in to a multitude of shapes to gratify the luxury and convenience of man. We can scarcely mention a substance lor which anew use is not, almost daily found. “ Truly, we live in a wonderful age !” Not long since steam seemed to have beep the boundary of human powers, and the steam-engine was the symbol of this pro gressive age. Who can forget the eloquent things that were said about it, when suaii men as Lardner, Everett aud Webster de scribed the wonders ol its service ? Men received it as the finaL embodiment of me chanical genius— u the Samson of civilization” —that would pei'icct the xt;.,>r'.Jy r.:’ .ainA over matter, arid restore to humanity the universal sovereignty of the ea: th. Nor was the language, at that day ( extravagant. But one form of power educates ns into the necessity for another and higher power. — “The age of steam” prepared the way for “the age of telegraphs.” Ii the introduction of steam has vastly enhanced the mining, mechanical and manufacturing power, no limit can be set to the utility of the tele graph, as ait ally of mind, as an instrument of intellectual and social action, as a bond of a peaceful and assimilating brotherhood.- The unsuccessful attempt at telegraphic com munication across the Atlantic is not to be regarded as a failure. No, it is but a fresh summons to the soul ot the nineteenth < en tory to put forth its renewed energies, to believe anew in its capacity, under God, to subdue the earth and make f t a Kabitaii m of blessedness. The hearts of two mighty na tions have already throbbed aloud over the progress of thi3 magnificent work. None but a soulless cynic could regard the exulta tion as a jubilee of mammon. Nor is the popular feeling a mere tribute to the skill aud wisdom ot science. No, it is a far deep er and nobler sentiment. Inventions, especially such as have signa lized this practical age, are benefactions to the world. So far as their economic value is concerned they can scarcely be computed. Take the simple forms of machinery, and their productive power is amazing. By the aid ot machinery, one man is able, in stone dressing, to perform as much work as twen ty men by hand ; while in cotton spinning one intelligent American operative is equal to three hundred of the most expert spinners in Ilindoostan. And who can calculate the superiority of the cotton gin over the old method of picking the seed by hand ? But it is not in this view that we should con template them. They have a far higher va lue. Inventions are the counterparts of those great works that immoraiize the litera ture of a people, aud act as the source of in spiration to all ages. Homer, Plato, Shakspere, Miiton; snch men are the crowned monarchs of mind, swaying a scepter noue dispute. But man is also a creature of the physical world; and if he need gem us to serve him in intellectu al tastes and enjoyments, he equally need it to promote his earthly well being. The few must elevate the many. Such is the decree of Heaven everywhere, in everything. One ocean feeds many clouds, one sun illu mines many stars; one genius blesses many generations. Men look at the earth a- a mere dwelling place, a transient home, —a cradle and a grave. These are unworthy ideas— unworthy, because of their limitation. They are not the divine ideas of the materi al universe. Open the Bible and read of the earth, “It is Hisfooi-stool. and then con sider that man is the appointed and endowed agent to adorn aud beautify this foot-stool, sent into the world to do this work as well as to prepare for a future being. Man finds master a discipline, a test of his intelligence and skill, a theater for expansive and exten sive effort. Inventive genius is the highest expression of his comhlete sympathy with nature. It is a sacramental fellowship wit her geandeur, a token of the restoration of that beautiful intercourse which s : - inter rupted. The first thing that God did in the histo ry of the world, was to prepare a perfect home for a perfect humanity ; and now, for redeemed man , the work of fitting the earth to be a suitable habitation is in progress.— IWO.

Inductive science is the great strength of this age; and to what do we owe its effica cy, ns a means f culture, but, those vast dis coveries of modern times, that have opened the secrets of the universe to our inspection, and imparted a meaning to our admiration I of its wonders, t iat were never leit before? It has been about two centuri es and a hall | since the phii sopher of St, Albans saw that | men were unconsci- is of the bounty of na ture tor tnem. The title-deed to this more than imperial wea ;b had been lost; and none knew, save he; where it was to be fonrd. False to man, he was true to nature. The impu’-e ; I hat, moved ITiCon to study the rational principles of philosophy were as pure and t'resh as the beatings of childhood’s heart, Nature to him was not a dumb and senseless thing; but full oili/e, instinct with inspiration, and offering a companionship to those who sought, in a right spirit, her an cient and abiding wisdom. Poets have taught us to lo’ k on. her for beauty, and to draw a solace for troubled hours’ from her calm landscapes’ and silent skies. In her works, rising from the minute to the mag nificent, presenting every form, hue and as pect that infiuire variety could make .palpa ble to the eye, thy Cave found symbols for fwoh-, else unexpressed. The miseries of ■the ayul have gene to her for sympathy and support and not goAe in vain. Bacon went to nature hr other ends; the practical, the uselul, the philanthropic, the progressive. — Th.se were rl e principles-he sought for in her works, Instead of thinking with Sene ca, that philosophy has nothing to do with ulitarian gbjeefs, he conceived that it was wisely employed, if engaged in promoting the present good* of human kind. Bacon stated the language in the oracles of nature were to b- questioned ; Newton adopted that laßgnace and v < answered. Bacon enunciated riie cnrttTwTTiiaAHns {Ol Ttrrfnra science’ Newton to k the axioms, and based on them bis demonstrations. What a glori ous fellowship! Both were the giants of ge nius.

More perfect paraldlisms never existed. They were the founders of the empire it iv n over nature. Since their day th history or intellect has been a histo ry of pn gres-ve growth, fertile acivity and broad enlargement. Ttiis is not surprising. Periods of great discoveries have always been followed by intense and wide-spread intellectual excitement.

All hearts are pur ia sudden coimnupication, and the electric thrill throbs through them. It is apparent, we trust, that inventions have a higher value than mercenary calcula tors a-figa to them. They rise above the lore of political economy. To estimate their true value, w<- must loi ow them in their magnificent dernonstitions of the bound lessness and glory of that inheritance which they have c -rt ii •1, on grounds independent of religion, rs the property’ and theater of the human mind. They have appealed to the sense of the Infinity by methods al together their own. They have cultivated our subUmest instincts, not by imitating the art of poetry, or following the lead of intui tional philosophers, our, by the 11 slow and sure’ proofs of science, tv a series of discov eries in the material universe that have brought us into a cl.is* contact with the In finite. This is the great, service which mod ern science is performing fiv man. It speaks to the soul ; it speaks a language which is as ancient a- e heave’, or'God. Man needs nothing so much as great thoughts and sub -1 ie yearnings. He was created to feel the -upernatur; i within and without him, and he cannot be wr/n if this souse 0: the su pernatura be dead or lie dormant in his bo som. Sc ace now befriends man in the holiest ints rests of ois being. It dignifies and euobles lie rirot. Nor is tins all. The science of this nineteenth century holds firm ly in its hand the “magic wand of imagina tion.” “Truth is,” indeed , “straDger than fic tion.” New worlds are grander things than new poems. Within a few years the num ber/)!’ the known members of the planetary system has be n more'than doubled. “A filanet ol vast dimensions has been added to our system ; thirty-six new asteroids have been discovered; lour new satellites have been detected, and anew ring added to Sa turn.” Add to these results the discoveries of-other sciences, and tel!
