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.

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.

We all need some stimulus of this kind to ronso up our sluggish faculties and 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 the living trunk making up pari of its ex ternal form, hut partaking of none of it) in ternal life; so, there aro men a part of whoso faculties have died for want of exer cise. 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.

A ’lomciil <»f Ilni-roi-. 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« not; I don’t know.
