©je Constitutionalist AUGUSTA, GA.: Wednesday Morning, Not. 3, 1875. The Scientists. BY E. L. FLABH. A noble band in search of truth! And yet in vain they preach, 3 hat man must disbelieve in all But what his senses teach. For all the truths that Science shows, If viewed without pretense, But tend to prove, beyftud a doubt, The impotence of sense. Ten thousand years men saw the sun, With reverential awe, Rise up and cross the firmament— Nor doubted what they saw. Till Science, by her light revealed The course the planets run; And showed the wheeling Earth revolved Around the steadfast Sun. It may be, stars we see this night, Deep in the Heavens glow. Were sunk in darkness and destroyed, A thousand years ago. Yet still they shine—and Science tells Of rays that pierce the sky. But why they dart, or why they shine, Elicits no reply. They know the laws that govern Life- Keep order in the skies— , But yet the Power that made the Law They fail to recognize. They but delude themselves—confound Achievement with Desire— And dream they prove the vital spark {springs from material fire. Beside the facts, we, too. must know To read the facts aright; Nor deem because our eyes are weak, Beyond their reach is night. Yet, by that intellect which sprang From out the dust they say. They know how far the dog-star shines— How much the planets weigh. But even they profess to find, Within their chosen range. A thing to build their laith upon— A Cause which cannot change! What is this Faith—this Great Unknown— They delve from out the sod ? A Molecule serves them for a creed, An Atom for a God ! lu vain they toil. The Infinite Baffles the mind and sense; And Man’s short plummet cannot sound The depths of Providence. Oh! bright the triumphs and the gains Of {Science and of Art; But brighter far shine Faith and Hope To cheer the Human Heart! GERMAN MONUMENTS. Heinrich Yon Stein. [Chicago Tribune.] Germany has taken up the practice of hero-worship with a vigor that must warm the cockles of Carlyle’s heart. The last person to receive a monument is Heinrich Friedrich Karl, Caron von Stein, whose statue was unveiled in Berlin, Tuesday, by the Prince Impe rial, “Our Fritz.” This eminent states man, the forerunner of Bismarck, whose peaceful victories made the bloody ones of 1866 and 1870 possible, is little known to-day. He was a great statesman, not a great fighter. A blood-stain on the page of history at tracts more attention than the de tails of a peaceful revolution. The lat ter is apt to be by far the more impor tant, The man who now stands glorified In bronze, at Berlin, was the author of what is known to every deep student of politics as “Stein’s System.” That system has made Prussia the strongest power in Europe. The resources of the Empire rest on the broad found a tion built up by the reforms devised and perfected by Stein and his famous pupil, Hardenberg. The work of the the two is so intimately associated that the laws they had passed are usually spoken of as the Stein-Hardenberg system. Stein, after an honorable but subordinate career in politics, was called to the head of the Prussian min istry in 1807. The country at that time was completely in the hands of Napo leon. The King was obliged to ask the French Emperor whether he would approve of this choice. He graciously assented, for he was igno rant of the fact that the new min ister was at heart bitterly hostile to French supremacy. He learned his mistake within a year, and his impe rious mandate to the Prussian ruler compelled the withdrawal of the Min ister in November, 1808. Within this brief twelvemonth, Stein carried some remarkable reforms, and planned others which he left to his successor, Har denberg, to accomplish. Among these reforms were the abolition of serfage, the taxation of the nobility, universal military service, universal education, and a sweeping land law, which pro duced as marvelous a change as the land laws which were born of the French Revolution. It created the force of yeomanry, which is now the strength of Prussia, and the backbone of aii peaceful government in France. England had such yeomany once. Her policy of contracting instead of dividing her land has changed her yeomen of the past into the starve ling paupers of the present. Under the Prussian system, a tenant-farmer can buy the laud he tills at a sum equal to a thirty-year purchase. If he has not the money, the State gives the landlord a bond and collects from the tenant a yearly sum which extinguishes, within thirty-one years, the principal and interest of the bond. No one fa miliar with the economic history of the k<nd question can doubt that this ex treme ease of State interference is the secret of the amazing strength of Prus sia to-day. It created the common people, raised them from brutish hew ers of wood and drawers of water to men. If the mere catalogue of Stein’s reforms is so amaziDg, what must the reforms themselves have been? This mao’s life was a blessing to the world. Germany honors herself in honoring him. Messrs. Knoop, Hanemann & Cos., of Charleston, who are among the largest cotton operators in the South, cleared there the other day the German steam ship Berlin, of near 2,400 tons, for Re val, Russia, with a cargo of 4,805 bales of upland cotton; weight, 2,136,531 pounds; value, $366,350. This cargo has been placed on board in quick time, it being only fourteen days since the ship’s entrance. The same firm have also cleared lately at Savannah the German steamship Baltimore, for Reval, with 4,370 bales of upland cot ton ; weight, 2,124,899 pounds; value, $310,200 ; and also cleared, some weeks since, at New Orleans, the German steamship Strasburg, with 5,500 bales of upland cotton, weight unknown. The same firm are now loading the Ger man steamship Kohn, at Savannah. The Prince of Wales took along thir teen different remedies for sea sick ness and twenty-eight looking glasses. It is probable that he will have a good time —in fact, he can’t help but have, with all those mirrors showing off how nicely his hair is parted in the middle. Detroit Free Press. Respect old age. If you have a maiden aunt thirty-three years old, and she is passing herself off for a girl of twenty, there is no excuse for you to expose her. The more you reapeot her age and keep still about It the more she will respect you. A curious basket picnic and ball was held, recently, in Leavenworth Moun tain, Colorado. It was held in a sub terranean chamber, and the cards of invitation stated that dancing would be continued until ten boxes of wax candles had been consumed.
