Sunday Morning, August 20, 1865,
HUGH BILLBtt’H THKOKIKfi'.
We ere aware Wat to proceed with th» «üb*
jeol in such a manner as to produce a c> mpe
tent impression of its merits on the minds of our
readers, would require much more time and
space p an we are willing to allot to it, yet we
hope t > be able to give our readers at least a
supsifl.lal nottou ot what tbe great Geologist
has taught.
Apail from the legitimate prosectrion of bit
Study, Hugh Miller not only made it tubeervi'
eut to tbe great principles of divine economy,
but placing it beside the Mosaic record of crea
tion he barmon’Z d the two rtcotds in sucb a
manner as to frequently astonish tbe mind ol
tbe attentive reader. He not only demonstra
ted that th, re was no conflict between the two
records, but he showed bow tbe history of tbe
six acts in tbe great drama of creation is writ
ten as legibly upon the surface of tbe rocks as
it is in Gonisis and in no | 0 ot do the two differ
materially.
Geology is divided into Systematic and De
scriptive, The former treats ot tbe structure
of the eartb, and bow “chaos" resolved itself
into a form and nature for the accommodation
of man. Tbe latter treats of tbe details of that
structure as it is shewn by the character and
position of constituent lormattous which enter
into the composition of the structure. It is with
this latter department that we will chiefly have
to do, as it more closely b. are upon toe few
points of which our space will allow us to
treat-
To commence with ‘the beginning,” the Mo
sale record teaches that in six days God creat
ed tbe eartb and all things that therein are.—
Tbe Geologist finds the history of those “six
days” written ietlellibly in the earth ; but Ge
ology also teaches that those day s were not days
of twenty-four hours each, but periods of time
which are not comprehended by us.. Each ol
tboee s x periods may have embraced a length
of time equal to. many thousand- of years, io
which tbe igneous formations which composed
the flrst shape which chaos assumed, might, by
the gradual but steady process of nature, re
solve itself into an elemental constituency wbicb
would adapt it to tbe purposes ot the Divine
wilt which ordered it. Tbe Bible does not
teach d fferently. though the reader, who has
Dever investigated tbe records of nature, usual
ly accepts its bistory ot the wotk tn the most
literal sense. Let us look at it.
Tbe History was handed down.to Moses, who
lived many generations after its close, not by
might be supposed, but as a vision.
By tbe prophetic gift of tbe seer be was eua
bled to look down tbe long “condor of time” t
••rhe beginning.” and see the woik as it beg.n
note its progiessand witness tbe close. Wb-t
er be saw it as an ocular vision, as in tbe case
of tbe “burning bush,”; in wbicb the Lord re
vealed himself, or as a mental revelation, it is
not necessary to inquire. It may have been
either. But it is sufficient for us to conclude
that tbe rapt seer stood on tbe Pisgah bight of
Prophecy and saw the beginning and the close
of eaeb consecutive “day,” and their several
result*. These periods of time bad a beginning
end an end by wbicb each wi s divided from tbe
other. Tbe work ot one period ended to make
way for tbe commencement of another in *ue
progression. This to the propbet was revealed,
and fur tbe want of a better name by which to
ceil the periods be denominated them days. To
ehow that be attached nodeflnite meaning to
tbe term “day” we will cite that tbe period ol
time wbicb elapsed between tbe beginning and
tbe close of tbe whole work, in the first chapter
of Genesis is shown to be six days, while in tbe
second chapter tbe whole of tbe six periods is
di nominated a day. Hence we see tbe teim
applied to a whole wbicb is applied also to each
ot the six parts, and we are led to conclude,
from that fact, that a “day” means not a speci
fied number ot hours, but that space ot time
which is included between tbe beginning and
the end of an act ot tbe great drama, also be
tween tbe beginning and tbe end ot tbe drama
itself. Again, that the “days” were not subdi
vided into hours we infer from the Let that dun,
ing tbe flrst three there was no natural division
< f timej for it was not until tbe fourth day that
God made tbe two lights, tbe greater to rule by
day and the lesser to rule by night. Hence we
trace no tbe two records on this point.
The Geologic recerd shows incontrovertible
evidence that these “days” comprised incom
prehensible periods of time. Every strata of
eartb, which overlays tbe igneous foundations,
affords volumes of evidence of tbe tbaory, and
it is taugbt la language at once beautiful and
unmistakable. Though written in byeroglipb
ice, science baa unravelled tbe meaning and
laid it bare for tbe sciutiny of tbe world, and
tbe record as it stands and will staud,
, ibe last fading echo of time
D>«s out o'er the wemb where the world is enshrined,’
it not lets wonderful to tbe mind of tbe Geolo
gist than was tbe vision to tbe eye of tbe rapt'
H.atorian of God's gieat work.
How did be see tbe work ? From the tow er
of prophetic inspiration God showed him bow
He had performed Hia great handiwork. He
law the molten Plutonic mass which forma
tbe inner part of tbe present globe flung away
into space where by the inexorable laws ot
gravitation it assumed for itself rotundity. He
saw tbs spirit of God move upon tbe waters,
heard tbe flat which brought light out of
darkness, and the evening and the morning
were tbs first ‘day. And then be saw tbe
firmament appear which divided the waters
wbicb were above it, from the waters whicn
were below it, and tbe evening and the morn
ing were tbe second day. Ones more came th |
Omnipotent edict, and the waters gathered
themselves together in one place and the dry
lend appeared, end tbe earth brought f rtb
grass and all green things, and the
end the morning were the third day. Again
tbe decree went forth and the sun and moon
aud tbe sUrs appeared, and all tbe host of
them, as tbe product of the fourth day. The
fifth day's flat was uttered and the wat< rs
teemed with living things from the tiny mint
now to the gigantic whale, and tbe work was
good. And when the sixth decree was uttered
the earth which before was tenantless became
filled with nil living things; reptiles, beasts
of nil kinds, insects aud birds, all beautiful
and good, and the great Maker pronounced
his benediction on them. This done and tbe
earth was ready for man, and be came in the
image of Him who made him, and by hie
side, bright, beautiful and perfect as the first
glow of tbe morning, stood his help meet,
woman, the last and loveliest work of the Di
vine fingers. Thus ended the work, and this
embraces n brief synopsis of the Mosaic re
cord of it. HjW awfully grand must each
success ips scene have but st upon the aston
ished sight of tbe favored prophet 1 How
must his *>ul have burned as he penned the
record of it in the true language of inspires
tion. The story is magnificently told, and
none but a God-inspired hand could so have
written it.
But we have not space to pursue tbo sub*
ject further. In our next we will notice the
Geologic record as compared with the Mosaic
and trace the admirable harmony existing bey
tween the twain. Not less wonderful, not less
beautiful will it be found. And we may add,
not less true. The one is written in God’s
words, the other in bis works; to set aside
the one would be to repudiate the other, so
closely a-e they wedded aud so harmoniously
do they exist together.
WHO OUGHT TO BE OUR LABORERS T
Tbe New York Htrald concludes a long edi
torial, ou tbe subject ot tbe utility of dispensing
with tbe uegrp iu this country, with the follow
ing excellent language :
•‘Circumstanced as this country is, with its
rapid progress and tbe inexorable demands
upon it fer tbe fulfillment of its destiny, we
cannot afford to wait for the manufacture of the
slow importation of a working population. It
may suit tbe nations of Europe to wait twenty
one years for the child to become a man ; but
we must, have men’s labor instantly or tbe pro
gressive machinery of tbe country would stop.
Our gold and silver would slumber iu toe bosom
of tbe eartb, our new Territories and States
would lie barren iu the shadow of the forest,
and our magnificent rivers run idly to tbe sea.
The halt worked Southern States -now more
than ever iu need ot skilled labor —would re
main a profitless waste. All this is comrary to
the spirit of the country ; so that, in fact, we
require a working population more to day than
we ever did before. Apart, then, from the hu
manitarian question of the future piospec s of
tbe African race, we think it is manifestly our
interest as well as tbeirs to keep tbe black la
borers in the country, allotting to them,’of
course, their proper position as voluntary work
men, but not forcing upon them, as tbe Jaco
bins insist upon doing, an “equality” which
never could be real, aud would entail upon
ihem misery unendurable and the speedy anni-‘
nilation of their entire race on ibis continent.”
For once and for a wonder tbe Herald is
right. We cannot spare the negro, for tbe sim
ple reason that there is none to supply the
vacancy his absence would occasion. Tbe
country can no more do without the.negro than
it can dispense with tbe broad cotton fields of
the South. Then if any considerable portion of
the people are debating the feasibility of being
entirely rid of this class ot our population, let
them cease it at once and go to work and en
deavor to inaugurate speedily some measure by
wbicb tbe negro’s usefulness to the country
may be fully developed. That is wbat the
country now stands iu need of aud wnat the
people should set about accomplishing.
While man in his fallen condition
looks toward heaven he sees Justice at the
gate frowning upon him. But when Faith
assures him that Mercy, not Justice, holds the
key, the frowns disappear and the brow of the
rigid custodian of her Master’s honor becomes
as a dream of love. The terrors of Sinai de
parted when “it is finished” was breathed, as
a benediction on Calvary.
All virtues exist by contrast. As light
is bastioned on darkness, so Truth stands out
in bold relief from a ground-work of false
hood. Were there no evil there would be no
virtue in being good. It is tbe bell that is
shunned which prepares a redeemed spirit for
enjoyment of Heaven.
We are always suspicious when we hear
a man with an excessively red nose talk of tbe
evils of intemperance. We do not doubt that
the Devil has preached many a time, yet the
world never bad any benefit from bis practice.
Men often ridicule the women for their
universal use of tbe glass. Were tbe glasses
that men use as truthful reflectors as those
which women use they would reform many a
drunkard.
A wicked man has b.en described as
one who “ would whet a kni*e on his mother’s
tombstone to murder bis father with.”
A mtn bad better be the bntt. of tbe
“good natured fun” of his friends than become
tbe butt of their ill natured whisky.
“Leaves have their time to fall” and so
have men, and both from the same cause- get

Down tba silent vault nf urm,
It His the grand, emphatic chime,
Truth is alt that stands immortal
Iu the catalogue ol time.
Though h"r lamp may sometimes flicker
fu the damn ot Falsehood’s breath ;
She will prove herself oteraal,
Triumph over II eand deaih.
Upward—Onward—never-falling,
Higher still her glories swell;
Angels breathe her name hi heaven,
Devils mutter it in bell.
At the dawning cf Creation,
81.e was Hung upon the earth ;
Goit pronounced her bouedicoou,
Stars sang pioans at her birth.
Side by side wuh the great Father,
Works she out ample plans ;
. Bound, she rises like a Samson,
Snaps apart the weakened nans.
Truth will live when worlds are failing,
Growing all the while sublime ;
Falsehood will at last be shrouded
Ju the pail that covers time.
Mau may cr.sh her. maim her, gag her,
Strive with chains t> bind her fast;
Yet she proves herself immortal—
Vindicates her own at last.
For Sunday’s Era.
* HEAVEN.
Exhaustless theme I Philosophy has inves
tigated, oraiory has glorified, poetry has em
balmed ; yet philosophy still invwtigates,
oratory still glorifies, poetry still sings it.
'ln last Sunday’s Era we considered the
imperishability of matter, and its indications
of a nobler aud higher existence. When one
reflects upon its imperishable nature, that it
is impossible to destroy a single atom, that it
is continually assuming new and beautiful
forms; and then real what John says in Rev
elations and what is said in other parts of the
Scriptures, in regard to a “ new earth and
new heavens,” and be-tow a thought -upon
the many arguments advanced, no great won
der is excited that Christian philosophers and
able divines have been induced to suppose
that Heaven will be but another eartb, from
whicn all mortal.ty and sin are banished ;
but another Garden of Eden in all its purity
and happiness.
But in all probability, when tbe last trum
pet Shall have proclaimed the end of time,
there shall be no more bright sous like ours,
and silvery moons and glittering etars ; the
“City has no need of tbe sun, neither of tbe
moon, to shine in it; for tne Lamb is tbe
light thereof.” However this may be, we
are assured that Heaven is an abode of ever
lasting felicity and joys evermore—a realm of
eternal love, where the soul is continually
expanding in k owledge and bliss; and as
tbe cycles of eternity wheel their endless
rounds, greater is the eternity of the soul’s
delights, greater the multitude of the soul's
enjoyments and greater its capacity to enjoy.
“The gentle friend, whose eyes wet e close i
in their last sleep, long years ago, died with
rapture iu her wonder-stricken eyes, a smile
of ineffable joy upon her lips, and hands fold
ed over a triumphant heart; but bar lips
were past speech, and intimated nothing of
the vision, that enchanted her.” Yet we have
assurance, that when her spirit passed tbe
“ flaming bounds of time,” and winged its
course to the celestial hills, it began to as
cend an endless flight of joys, to roam through
fields of elysian gl< ry and bathe in fountains
of immortal youth. From knowledge to
knowledge, from bliss to bliss, from glory to
glory, onward evermore !
Death is the door, through which we must
pass into this indescribable existence. Tay
lor, therefore, might well advance his noble
idea touching death, as it places tbe soul in
possession of such a Heaven, he might well
assert, “ there is a dignity about that going
away alone, we call dying ; that wrapping the
mantle of immortality about us ; that puts
ting aside with a pale band the azure cur
tains, that are drawn about this cradle of a
world. There must be lovely lands starward,
for none ever return, who go thither ”.
Yes, beautiful lands I Has earth a soul,
that has nev'er experienced a hope—a longing
to reach those
“ Sweet ft' lds arrayed la living gaeen,
And nv.r* of delight?”
How many of earth’s pilgrims have made
tbe yearning inquiry,
“ When eball these eyes thy heaven built wails,
And pearly gates benold?
Thy bulwarks with salvaiion strong,
And streets of shining gold ?”
In this world dark shadows often settle
over the soul, and produce a dim sensation
of subduedness and oppression ; tbe heart
would often bask in sunlight, when a cioud
intervenes and shuts it out ; the mind would
leap throughout the universe, and seek long
coveted truths, to unravel hidden myste
ries, and gather universal knowledge; but
staggers back aggrieved from the contempla
tion, of the vast infinite heights it cannot
mount, and depths it cannot fathom. Bes
clouded soul 1 In Heaven there is no shad
ow 1 Ambitious mind I In Heaven no chain
will bind thee, and eternity has no limit to
tbe acquisition'of truth and knowledge,.
On earth w) read of a savior, who “ died
for the sins of tbe world.” In Heaven we
shall see Him. To hrfw many hearts is this
one of the fondest anticipations which clut
ter around their hopes of Heaven. To see Je
sus ! Him, tbe world’s Redeemer! Him, the
Babe of Bethlehem! Him, who hung on
Calvary 1 Hirn, who burst the tomb, and
caused the echoing shout throughout Crea
tion’s bounds, “ Oh death where is thy sting!
Ob grave, where is thy victory I”
Heaven ! It in the word which unites
earth’s millions in one common hope. Men
differ in religion—men differ in all things.—
They have different loves and different hopes.
They struggle for different goals. But all
men hope for Heaven. Whatever they con
ceive it to be—whether tbe Indian’s perpetu
al bunting grounds, or the Ottoman’s eternal
indolence, or the Christian’s home in glory ;
yet in every human heart glows th* common
hope of Heaven.
O Heaven I O beautiful Zion ! Country
of perennial bloom I Land beyond the moun
tain I thy name is music to a Christian's ear.
Wondrous hallucinations, that man would
procrastinate to make his “ calling and elec
tion sure.” Stupenduous folly, to imperil
for a moment the chances for immortality in
thee. E. Y, 0.
