’’'jC.H MILLKK ASD HIS gCIKNCK.
Among the meteoric intellects that have
-arisen upon the skies of the nineteenth cen
tury, there are none perhaps that have actons
ished the world more than Hugh Miller.—
Bis was one of that order of genius which too
early consnmes itself in its own fire. He rose
k'oove the world of letters, illuminated it for
a time, and then went down wrapped in the
brilliancy of his own light. He was cue of
the children of nature. He was in his de
partment of science, what Humbolt and Agas*
sia are in theirs —only tbe light shed upon
his science was more intense, and strayed not
out of jts peculiar orbit.
While plying his humble vacation as stone
cutter in Scotland, he early found “sermons
in stones” that preached to him the reveia
tion of creation's mystery. He found the
“ footprints of the creator” in the granite
quarry, and he traced their windings until he
reached the “ cave of divination” in which is
recorded the mystic “ Testimony of the
Rocks.” He read tbe hyero.glyph and found
the name of Gcd in each character.
“He quarried truth all rough-hewn from the earth,
And chiseled it into a perfect lorui—■
A rounded absolute.”
The alphabet that others had scarcely learn
ed, he shaped into a language ; the knowledge
that others trembled at, he systematized into
a science, and startled the world with the
boldness of bis theories. The science that
Others had wielded as a weapon against re
vealed religion, he bastioned under tbe bible
•nd made it subservient to the great cause of
* Christianity. His conceptions were awful in
their sublimity, yet he was bold in their
enunciation. His aim was truth, and having
dragged the nymph from her well, he pro
claimed her to tbe world, having pedestaled
heron tbe granite foundation of tbe earth.—
His gigantic intellect poured its full-flood into
• one channel, and wore it deep—too deep, fur
it became exhausted of its own force.
Hugh Miller has been styled “ tbe Milton of
science.” He has shed the same splendor
over science that Milton has over poetry. For
elegance of diction, strength of experience,
simplicity and beauty of stylo and compre
hensiveness of idea, he stands unexcelled by
•ny writer of the preseut or any previous age.
No writer has come more nearly saying what
he intended than he, and no one has so adapted
an intricate science, and one involving many
technicalities of expression to the uses of lhe
people as he has. He has disrobed science
of all that was obscure, and laid her bare be
fore the world, «u easy study for any mind.
He cloaked nut the sublimest idea iu a re
’ dundancy of verbiage, trnr discarding all
that was superfluous, without marring ltd
beauty, he suited it to minds that js*"' ,ess
comprehensive than his. '
His career ns* 9 meteo ic in tbe extreme.—
His gor»' oU ® intellect flashed its splendor
spun tbe world for awhile, and exhausted it
self upon its last and most splendid scintillas
tion. His greatest work, and one that stands
•lone in the science he illustrated, was scarce
ly done when in a fit of mental aberration he
destroyed bis own life. O
“ Unknown he came, he went a mystery,
A mighty vessel louudered in a calm,
Her freight half given to the world. To die
He longed, nor feared to meet tbe great I AM.
The world was startled at tbe announcement
of his death ; and mourned tbe loss as one
devolving upon tbe whole of mankind. His
genius wedded him to the whole of his raco,
•nd be was mourned as a kinsman. Monu
ments were erected to bis memory, and epi
taphs record tbe tithe of what he was. But
the noblest monument to his memory, the
only epitaph that emblematizes his genius,
he created in his lifetime. His works are
destined to become standards in the languag
es of all peoples who encourage learning, as
they already are of the .English language,
and the spot in Scotland where belies will,
in time, become one of the
- ■ “ pilgrim shrines
ffbrinee to no code or creed corflaed,
Tae Delphian vales, tbe Paleatines,
Tbe Meccaa of toe mind.”
Os his science, our space will not allow us
to say much. Geology is the latest born of
tbe whole family of science. Zealous Chris
tians were startled at tier birth, and in their
blind zeal, they would have throttled the ins
Zant in her swaddling clotnes. Many_a.Jle.rod
sought tbe infant to slay it, but it proved a
Hercules that rose from its cradle to slay tbe
sei pent, bigotry. It was claimed that the
new-fledged science proposed to sot aside,
not only tbe Mosaic record of creation, but
the whole of divine revelation. Great minds,
•nd good hearts fought the baby giant, and
honestly thought, that by tbrottling it they
would bo “ doing God service.” It was thus
■tizmatized and branded when tbe mighty
intellect or Hugh Miner .too. up , n <i„-
sense. He saw in ft one of the solid bastions
On which was pillared the moral power of
truth—truth of science aud truth of revela,
tion—and that which was feared as a Moloch
which was to fail on, and crush the revelation
of tbe scriptures, was shaped into one of the
staunchest supporters of tbe truth of those
revelations. Making an altar of the everlast
ing hills, Miller took the scriptures in one
hand and bis science in tbe other, and wed
ded them together, and wrote the certificate
of marriage on an eternal parchment of solid
rock. This done, and men no longer sought
to slay the young child. At a bound ebe
• sprung to full growth',and was made the con
sort of revelation, and together, henceforib
they are destined to wield a whip of scorpi-
h,, ,t will lash the bastard infidelity into
, infernal pit where it belongs.
This science has quarried more truth from
the earth than had ontered into the mind of
man half a century ago to conceive. The
revelations made by Jehovah to His prophets
were not more accurate or more wonderful
than those which this science has found kid
ded in the bosom of the earth. Sermjns
have indeed been found traced upon stones,
and they have led lhe minds of such as Hugh
Miller, with unerring step, “ through nature
up to nature's God.” They proclaim Goo iu
every fossil of the earth, aud glorify the re
ligion of Christ in every pebble on the sea
shore.
We had intended to say something of tbe
theories advanced by Hugh Miller, but we
have already extended this article further
than was intended, and must deter it until
some future time. We regret that we must
depend entirely upon our memory for tbe
points we wish to make, as we have not Mil
ler's works at band. However, we hope we
may be able to make mention enough of his
teachings to interest our readers, and perhaps
lead them to read his books which should be
in every bouse, side by side with the Bible. —
We shall endeavor to be accurate, however,
in what we do write, so that we may cause no
one to misconceive of what this great teacher
has taught.
THE CRITIC.
The critic is, in the world of letters, what
the hunchback is in nature. He is a literary
deformity. He is the incubus that bestrides
the bosom of all laudable ambition. He is
the scarecrow to frighten young authors from
the field of literature. He is tbe knave in
the pit, always ready to hiss bis disapproval
of any candidate for histrionic reputation.—
He is the self-empanelled jury which pro
nounces, upon all new ideas, and the self
constituted judge that sends timid cuprite to
the “lock-up” of oblivion. He is armed with
a vulture’s bill to peck at every flaw be sees,
and where he sees no flaw, he stains tbe pol
ished surface of the jewel-
We have often tried to form a conception
of the personnel of this monster. Were we a
I painter we would like to limn him. We
‘ would make it true to nature certain. We
I would have him a wan and emaciated creats
' ure, with furrowed brow, down which have
1 trickled many a disappointment. We would
have him blear-eyed, and jaundice complex
ioned. His hair should be crisp and sb< rt,
f and crinkled as his nature. Hie face should
■ be a strange halt between a raven and a hu
r man phisiognomy. It should be hard to tell
, which it most resembled. Two tongues
■ should be in bis mouth, or rather his tongue
• should be forked. An ungainly hump should
. ‘ rest between bis shoulders. His hands should
t be lank, and his fingers partake more of tal«
1 ons than proper digits. And his smile should
r be the frightful scowl of the dem n. His sur
i roundings should comport with his person.—
j He should bo seated in a dingy, duMy room,
• i festooned with cobwebs and lighted by a sin
. I gle pane. A Xanthipe and a Termagant
: should be on either nothing
I ! symbolic O~ould interrupt tbe tout
t , should be all that is horrid.
Even bis inkstand should be a miniature in
fr.mo, and his pen staff should bear the shape
I of a scorpion nibbed with tbe tongue of a vi
■ per. His seat should be supported on the
i backs of curs that seem ready to yelp in con.
. - cert at tbe meon. It is thus that we would
i pain him, in colors as dark as Erebua, and
who would say the thing were misrepresent
i ed ?
To dream you are kissing a pretty girl
and wake up and find it is only your wife
who has caught you asleep is quite a stautal
izing as was the disappointment of the toper
who dreamed of having a punch, but conclud
ed to take it hot, woke up before ready
and cursed himself for not taking it cold.
“Bear ye one another’s burdens” is an
injunction so cherished by some Christians
that if a brother is “burdened with a fault”
they all strive to get hold of it as soon as
possible.
Bfgc, Take heed that ye do not your alms be
fore men to be seen of them “ saith the scrip
tures, and some men are so fearful of being
caught in the act that they do not their alms
at all.
The latest improvement on the “ Wa
terfall” that has been suggested, is to supply
tbe place of tbe rats with a live kitten, as tbe
snore of the animal would be an admirable
mimic of cat-aracts roar. We claim the pat
ent.
asrz A man whose wife bore the virtue-ous
name of Patience, who was not remarkable for
her height, was overheard to complain that
his Patience was very short.
Mrs. Experience B—thinks she would
make an excellent teacher, as the most profit
able lesson we learn are those we learn from
experience.
The man who own but one shirt says
tn. article he wore while he had it washed
was but. a poor shift.
“ g@f* Niagara now bids fair to snk into
disfavor among the ladies, as each dear eras
ure has a “ Wterfall” of her own.
It wai a liberal man who praised the
inventor of the “Natural Bridge,” and it was a
utilitarian the idea that Niagara
Fails would save tbe expense of building a
mill dam.

THE BUFFICIEBICf OF KEVELATIOH.
In our last Sabbath morning article ws as
signed two reasons loathe sufficiency of Divine i
revelation, independent of all other communi- j
cations from 'be Wnseen world, for tho couvic- I
tion of m n ot tbe truth aud reality ot Divine |
things. Will you permit us to add one or two '
arguments limber to cotifl m this position?
31. Suppow’snob a'messenger Bboulttfome, ,
he could pot adduce stronger aigiiinen’a, not <
urge nt >re powerful moriVts why men should I
repent and turn tv God, th in the bcriptmes ;
iuruieb.
If be should exhibit tbe dire effects of sin, j
either in this or tbe eternal world have we not
seen then * have we not read of 'hem ? Should
be hold up ,» picture, drawn in the most Vivid
colors, ot tue wicked us actually totmeuX-d day ■
und n g it m .the lake of ii e and brimstone, or
of tbe worm that never dies, eating iu'o tbe im
mortal spiri , ur c. u.abiug it within the folds ot
nn omnipotent grasp -art what avail would it
be? Men have heatd 01 that before, and yet
they don't li' in ve. Ur were men transported
to the regions ot woe. and marie to stand on the
borders ot the lake, usd look out on the waves,
tossed to ai.d fro by tbe breath of an angry
God, the ar-'lie would not change your heart—
it would not make you hate sin -it might alarm,
but would not convert you; aud for this reason:
It is not God’ - method of
ing tbe word G >d bus ordained as the means ot
convincing n't converting men, “Faith comes
by bearing, and hearing by tbe word ot Gad.”
It is not by terror, unaccompanied by
ot God, that men are persuaeed to believe.-
Should one from the dead speak of tbe short
ness of life, and the uncertainty of all earthly
things—do we not already know it? Could we
not point to ihj graves of a hundred genera
lions, and app al ta our daily experience io
proof ot tu.» bji.g a dyii g world ? We might
reply to him : * We know that lite is short—it
it is an burnt breadth, and as nothing—it hastens
away as a post - it flies like tbe weaver’s shut
tie—it is us a dr< .tn when one awake h,imper
lectly rem»an'-ered, or, as a rale told, soon for
gotten.” rtbnuld be speak of tbe solemnity of
death—who de lies ft? Should he tell of the
terrors ot the judgment day—could his descrip
tions exceed -uose of the Scriptures when they
describe tbe i.e.tvetis at be’Ug on fire, and tbe
elements m-iHiig Willi fervent beat, and lhe
earth and ail the wotks therein burned up. and
the throne ot judgment set, and the Bocks
opened, and the dead, sma 1 and grest,
judged out of the Bo.k- ? Should b“ spread
out before l—kr eyes, the terrors of hell, or tbe
joys of heaven—all these would be powerful
motives to repentance ; but have they not all
been addressed to us a thousand times, and yet
we have remained unmoved? No, no, if we
hear not tbe nurd of God, as revealed from
heaven by holy men, moved by lhe Holy Ghost,
neither would we be persuaded by one from the
dead, though be should repeat them a thousand
times more with the terrible earnestness of oue
who had just experienced their solemn reality.
4th. Such un one from the spirit world could
not remove the impedimeu'.s to tbe sinner’s sal
vation.
Men are not really so much indisposed to re
ligion because ihey do not believe it is true, us
oecause they d i not like vs principles. They
hate the docuiues ot Christianity because they
contradict and oppose their natural inclina
tions. Men, iu g-ueral. have rejected them on
this account. Some few, however, profess to
reject them tor wnut ot evidence ; yet, we are
ot opin.on that the great mass ot men think
little about evidence. They sneer at religion
without exumuiug the authority upon which ii
rests. Infidels are unquestionably the mus*
nncandid men io the world. Ttiey bate religion
for-the same reason that A v, ab bated Micaiah,
the prophet - because it does not jiropfresy good
concefning thein, but evil. It testifies against
their sentitneuls-it condemns their lives. The
Jews rej-eted Christ because et the purity ot
his lite and ibe holiness ot bis doctrines. Tbe
ambitious man dislikes religion because it en
joins humility aud s-ls abasement. Tbe man ot
pleasure dislikes it. because it urges self-denial,
and reiptires li ut to take the cross. The miser
dislikes it because it enjoins goodness apd 1 ibe
rulity. Tbe revengeful man dislikes it because
it teaches iu Tcy and forgiveness of enemies.
In short, all siutul m»u dislike it because it
requires holiness of heart and life. These eTe
some of the impediments in tbe way of men’s
salvation.
Now, could a messenger from tbe dead re
move these impediments ? Let us try to con
ceive the etfcets such a visitation would have.
Suppose, at tbe hour of twelve, this very night,
a spirit from the eternal world—one well known
to you—your lather or mother, ynur brother or
sister—arrayed in toe habiliments of departed
souls, should draw aside yonr curtain, and,
with wan countenance, should address yon, in
sepulchral tones, in eueb words us these : “ My
son, my daughtur, there Is a God—l have seen
him face to lace ; I have stood at hie bar ; I
have heard my doom. There is a beaven of
ineffable glory ; I have seen its golden streets ;
I have beheld the river of lite, flowing pure as
crystal from the throne of God ; I Have heard
the loud hosannahs of the redeemed. There is
also a bell ; I have seen it, and heard tbe
ings of tbe lost ; 1 have seen the smoke of their
torm' nt, and the worm that never dies. Time
is short, and death is near. Repent, And believe
the gospel.” What effect would such an app<-
rition have? Would tears of penlisuce flow?
No. Alarm and fear might cause you to trem
bie ; your thoughts might trouble you, and tbe
hours of this night' be passed in sleeplessness ;
but it would not make you to bate sin, or leave
your idols, or cease to love the world. To.
morrow you woutc begin to doubt and before
to morrow’s sun had set, you would conclude
ft was all only the baseless fabric of a dream.
J. S. W.
“Cease your annoyance,” said an indig
nant I’oet to his Familiar, “ere I. grasp you by
the band which encircles your neck, and hurl
you into the Immensity of space, where ft
would puzzle Omniscience to find you, and
Omnipotence to reorganize the scattered re
mains of tbe defabrloated corpus which taber
nacles your Lillupltian soul-a million of which
would rattle in tbe anatomy of a pigmy, or a
thousand ambulate a minuet iu the degermina
ted shell of a mustard seed.”
* For tho Sunday’s Era.
NATURE AND REVELATION
Reminisceacs of the pus., of the 'good old
days forever gone, impress upon our minds
the rapidity of our passage to another ex st
ence. Yesterday, in the schoul-room; to-day,
in stirring life; tomorrow, who can answer?
Short is the distance from tbe cradle to lhe
grave
They remind us, too, of lhe change cons ;
stantiy transpiring on earth. Change is a
universal law, or rather universal phase of!
animate or inanimate being. The planets are '
changing. Snare our bodies.
They attract our attention also to a princi- ■
pie, which is alike universal, teaching the ;
ephemeral nature of all worldly things, tbe .
principle of decay. Tbe nearest as well as '
most indifferent objects, animate or inanimate, 1
are undergoing its action. Mutter decompo- :
sea; the body dies. The beaut.ful groves,:
wbie‘l our hands have planted, dilapidate and ;
decay ; and the beaming eye, in whoso light
we have to live, is darkened in death.
But underlying these strata are two glowing
truths, which their upheavings but exhibit to
clearer view. The oue proclaims, there is no
annihilation ; tbe other points to a resurrec
tion. Among other stupendous follies man h s
exhtdum from the midnight of teason an
idea of the soul’s ann bilaiiou ; but matter as
suredly does not suffer it. Decomposing mat
ter lakes new forms ; tbe decaying acorn gives
birth to another tree.
Decay and corruption then point to inccr
ruption ; mortality to immortality ; time to
ete nity.
They indicate an existence, which experi
ences neither time, nor change, nor decay.
What nature thus teaches, revelation expli
citly asserts. Bnyond tbe confines of time,
extending with a limitless sweep, there is an
existence, where there is no yesterday or to
morrow, but an inconct ivable ever ; nn exis
tence, “ where moth and rust do not cor
rupt,” nor death extinguish the bright eye of
life.
Na ure leads us to infer an eternity. Reve
lation not only confirms it, but also imparts
some knowledge of its infinite and endless
economy. We are taught that there is a mis
erable forever, tbe fate of Satan and his an
gels and wicked men, wb refuse tbe pruffert
ed mercy of God. There is also a blissful
forever, tbe estate which Jehovah has ap
pointed for bis angels and thp “just made
perfect.” And this is Heaven, lhe Christian’s
home, tbe Eden beyond Death, tbe same yes
terday, to-day, forever ; and
THE BLKSSUn LAND
There is a land, a bleased laud
Beyond me-ciiau f ,hig cky.

And fluwers tAat never die.
No changes there, no cruel blight.

No wintry rains, do wilt' d flowers,
No night, w-th sbadows inure,

No pail of gltMjni ana tear.

And twlit-winged nine is merged and lost
In an eterna now
There streams of j »y unceasing spring
From a perennial Fount ;
And beings on ecstatic wing
Io heights of glory mount.
Millions of years million* o’er

Whi e upward still th oho spirits rise
In r» aims of boundless light.
Oh, the unfathomable depth

Whore Peace aud Best and Love and Joy

A laud beyond the silent grave,
Beyond the shadowy sea,
