Mr. P.exulent, and Genii, unit of the club.
Tho ol'jccl of our rov intention, ns l uu
ilorsiai'il it, is, to aid each other iu the a--
tjiiif itiou of h nowiodgo. Tho mode T u which
this is to ho done, nceordiit!* to the jirovit;-
ioiis of our C'lislilution, is Ly tho rc.tuiug
of V. arys or ilolivorjag of Lectures, Ly tiio
members of iho Club.
Tho subjects chosen for essays r.mVlcc
turos, under sttcli circumßtnucos, arc, J ba
liovo, usually of a scientific character. Hav
ing bad but a short time for prepration, I do
not pit: peso attempting anything like a sci
entific lecture io night; but presuming lhal
othor members will favor us wilh such lec
tures, at our future mootings, 1 will direct
the fetv observation# l have to offer, to Ihc
general subject—Science, purposing to give
only a few of tho more saliout points of the
subject without details.
Science, Trcra tho Latin few—to know—
literally means knowledgo. All our kuo.vl
edge consists of facts and principles that we
havo ours lvcs discovered, or learned from
others. Tho term, Science, i: used, in r
particular sense, to designate a .systematic
arrangement of till tho loading fads and
principles, man has yet discovered in re
gard to tho Planetary bodies; their num
ber their magnitude, their distances from
or.ch other, and tiio laws that govern their
movements.
The provinces of Bcicncc is, to discover
facts, collate them, and deduce principles,
rules and laws. Art following in the
walk of Science, applies those rulos to
practice.
Some of our most important Sciences
have originated from very liivial circum
stances. ’Thales, one of the seven wise
men of Greece,more than two thousand
years ago, observed tlu-.t when a substance
called, in his language, cleeTon, but hi
ours amlrr, was nibbed, it would attract
light bodies. Subsequent philosophers
e pccially Galvani, ol 15 dogna, Volta, of
Pavia, and .Franklin of I’liiladclphia, ob
served and closely investigated the same
and similar lads, and wc now havo, as a
result of their labirs, the great twin
Sciences, Eicctrici.y and Gaivan'sm. and,
as a j.r.-ctical u]>pUcatkm of thee, tiio
Electro-magnetic Telegraph. O'-Sc: ca
tions equally as Kb, i .1 at tee outset, led to
the discovery ol tho proper, ies of steam;
an agon: that now performs pr imps ball'
tho labor of the world.
The f its which arc tho ■ objects of
scientific research have sdvuys «xisted;
they sire as tfid as the CToaiion. '.They arc
truths widen by the unerring-lingcr o'
God, upon every l.'.ng tbrr l"h' cr fit-'

appro.dmnte that Great Being who is iho
Authorol al! truth. The ancientCi a'dean
gazed up at tim stars, from the j.lsiuis of
A-yri", and'ma; nod iic saw, recorded
there, the lulu ode; i nies ot nat’ons. ii iic
runlei’ll philosopher g: zes too, but rends
there the: nbllmor lessons of ihc rower and
wisdom of the D ; v:nity re wor.-lrp ;. The
old I’or. inns devoutly knelt w-tl) fcarnnd
tremb'ing, at the '-hrhie ol i.i# Mazing fire
god. The mode' u jibllnsophcr harness-s tho
the I’erslairs god to las err, and drive#
him over tiio world freighted v’di tiic
riches of a Rund'cd chmes. Long lime
ago, ere the eua of fSe'eaec bad db polled
tiic mists of ignorance that b clouded man’s
mental vis on, or the star of B.thlcl cm had
!el lfs wandering feet bom ti.c entangled
mazes of l'agau fdytr. logy, Li# poetiefan
ey and his adoring spirit peopled the air
above; the cavil) beneath, a id the silent
groves and grottoes uvouud I an with at ay
deities, and wilh fervent dovofion knelt at
-the shrine of his dreamborn Gods. Ike
saw in the blazing sun the firery cliariot,
and in the “lightning’s r. and glare” the hot
thunder-bolls of an ofloudcd Pi ty, and
heard his threalcniiig voico in tho “music
of the )phcrc ” Modern Science has led
that wi me-lurid lightning from tho clouds,
and with magic hand, conducts it along our
valleys and over our mountains to minister
to our wants.
Allhoiuh Science lias done all this, and
more— although she has led tho lightning
from the clouds, and harnessed tiio Per i:tn
tire-god to her wheels, though tho has
whitened the blue waters of Ocean with
Iho - ads of her commerce —has literally
“laid lior hands on old Ocean's inane amt
sported familiar with her hoary locks;”
thoimh sho Las spanned her arch across
■Niagara's surging cataract, and lnmglod
tho hum of madhhicry with the roar of her
evet-Sounding waters; though she i.as
done all this her cour.->u is not stayed or re
tarded, her progress is Kill onnntd. There
may he othor worlds to dicover; tbero may
be other hidden forces in tiic elements
which su round us, great as any sho has
yet revealed ; lhe.ro may bo other secrets
in nature’s storc-lHumo which ;ho will yet
bring to light.
Nor 1 ;as sho confined her investigations
to the mater nl world whero all is governed
by li:-:od immutable laws. iSlio has pushed
her conquests into regions seemingly, giv
en tip to passim, chaneo anti change.—
Nothing, seemingly, is more changeable
and im. ' ltain than tbe passions of men ;
nothing mote completely controlled by juts
it>n than their crimen, nothing more vnria.
bi.i than the means of perpetrating crime,
ov imve un crttiin Ilian its punishments
Tut, strang' to toll, a scientific arrange
moot of fCatia ical facts, and careful do
tlu.uions from them will toll us. with al
ia r. unerring certainly, in any large com
inivi’ty I‘ke England or bVaneo, the num
ber of crimes that will bo por|)ctrated

malic us think—-To keep our mental faculties
alive ; for a man is but half alive whoso fac
ulties aro dead. The faculties of tho mind
will die for want of oxereiso as surety as the
mombers of tho bsly. Tho mind with its
faculties may bo cun pared to a tree with its
branches. Wo ofeii observe trees, a num
ber of whole branches, from some cause have
withered and died, though still attached to

I‘laeo ycur arm in a sling—hind it to
your body, and let it remain there, and it
vvili wither away, and if it docs not die, en
tirely, it will so fur lose its vit ility as to bo
useless: so, if, as is too often tho custom
with men, after you havo completed your
education, as you ray, you carefully fold up
your faculties, and uicely pack them away
upon the upper & helves of your cranium,
lot them remain there undisturbed, while
you engage in tho ordinary pursuits of life,
you will find in a few years, that however
well stored your mind may havo been at tho
s'arf, you have just enough left to guido
you safclvin tho old boatou tracks, to which
custom lias made you familliar, and no
more. It is ntcroly tho life and activity
of all the faculties that makes our great
men. Naturo iinotso pariial as to make
all tho differences we see in tho minds of
wen; she makes ordinarily no intellectual
dwarfs or intcloctual giants, blio gives us all
minds pretty much alike; and ilieir power
is always in proportion to our cultivation of
them. Daniel Webster, it is said, made it
a rule during the aotivo part of bis life, to
carefully demonstrate all tho problems in
Euclid’s Geometry ; this was to exercise his
reasoning faculties. Tiio benefits of liter

cxcrc'so of tho mind. In order to bring our
faoubio-i to the highest dogreo of power to
wlrcli they arc oapablc, WO must excrc'se
them ; wo nuts’ think, not superficially, but
deeply, crnoastly—intcn-oly; thoughts that

h’or twenty threo years old, Jako Willard
ha' cultivated the soil of Baldwin county,
and drawn therefrom support for self and
wifi). Ifo is childless. Not long since Jako
left the bouse in search of a cow. His
course was through an old worn out. patch of
clay land, of about six acres iu extent,,iu tho
centre of which was a well twonty-fivo or
thirty feet deep, that at some tirno, proba
bly, had furnished tho inmates of a dilapia
ted house near by with water. In passing
by this spot, an ill wind drifted Jake’s
“tiio” from his head, and maliciously wafted
it. to tho edge of tiio well, and in it tum
bled.
Now, the old gentleman had always prac
ticed tho virtue of economy, and he immedi
ately set about rooovoring the lost hat. Ilcr
ran to the well, and finding it was dry at the
bottom, ho uncoiled the ropo which 1.0 had
brought fur capturing tho truant cow, and
after sovoral attempts to catch tho hat with
a noose, ho concluded lo tuvo timo by got
ting down iuto Tho well himself. To accom
pli-.li this, ho made fast ono end of tho rope
to a stump hard by, and was soon on his
way down the well. It was a fact, of which
Jako was no less obvious than tho roadcr
hereof, Mint Ned Wells was in the dilnpia
tod old building aforesaid, and that an old
blind horse, with a boll on his neck, who had
been tuned Jut to die, was lazily grazing
within a short distance of the woll. The
devil himself, or somo other wicked spirit
put it into Ned’s cranium to have a little
fun ;so ho quietly slipped up to tho horse,
and unbuckling tho strap, approached with
a slow and steady “ting-ailing” to tho edge
of the well.
“Dang tho old blind horso !’’ said tho man
at the bottom of tho woll; “he’s coining this
way sure, and ain’t got any moro sense than
to fall in hero. Wlioa, Bill P*
But tho oontiuucd approach of tho “ting
a-ling” said ju:;t as plainly as woids, that
Bill wouldn’t whoa. Besides, Jako was at
the bottom, resting before trying to shin it
up tho rope.
“Great Jornsalam!” said he,” tho old
cuss will bo a-top of mo before I can say
Jack Ilobinsoit. Whoa, dang it. Whoa.
Just then Ned drew up to the edgo of tho
well, and with his foot kicked a little dirt
into it.
“Oh, Lord !” exclaimed Jako, falling ou
his knees at tho bottom. “I’m gono now—
whoa ! Now I lay me down to sleep—w-U-o-a !
I pray the Lord my soul to —whoa, now!
Oh, Lord, have mercy upon me ! ’
Nod could no longer, and, fearing Jake
might Buffer f.tom his fright, lie rovealcd
bhnself. Probably Ned didn’t make tracks
from that wcl). Maybe Jako wasn't up to
top of it in short order, and yon might think
he didn’t try p’ght for two weeks to
gei a shot ivi’.h Ids . (1- r* Ned. Mayb«
