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. iS®_ Tbe most popular pbaraphrase of the Hevenih verse ol the fourth chapter of Proverbs »: •‘Moat-y is tbe principal thing - therefore, get money ; aud with all thy getting, get the biggest per cent, yotr cun.” Fur Sunday’s Ers. 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.

K. T. C. The Poet is in life what tbe flower is in the garden ; admired to*»day r plucked to-mor row, and cast aside and forgotten next day. Tbe individual who “soared on tbe wings of imagination ” fell from u tbe pinnacle of thought/’ and hasn’t been able to flutter since. Metaphysicians bury more ideas than they elucidate. Their writings are frequently like a “dummy’’—take off its fine dress, and a lillet is all that remains. Though Tupper’s philosophy is •* pro verbial.” bis prove:bs are not always philo sophical. sits on an eminence and blows a a hornpipe and laughs at lhe exciting dance of men below. The Israelites apotheosized a golden calf and were cursed for the iaolatory. How much better are we who worship a golden eagle than were they ? When Christ was on ear\h He did not dare to break the ° least of the command* menta” and yet man violates tbe whole and still talks of going to heaven. Episcopal Convention.—There is to be a convention of tbe Episcopalians of Trnnessev at Mashville, on the sth of September, to elect a Bishop in place oi tbe late Bishop Otey of this city. The general convention of tbe Episcopal church meets in Philadelphia in October.
