The soul whose flight w. s over stars.
Man thus hia debt of sin to pay
In chains of human nature lav.
And then God spake-Hi* voice thrilled through
Each atom of yon boundless blue '
TVambUnely echoed back each star
And Heaven* high ga’ea rolled wide a jar.
Ia the name.of my Alumni, whom
I havo the honor Jp represent, I dip
my pen revfrenilv «rud humbly into
the two great streams that flow
through life.
Those {wonderful and mysterious
streams of- religion and science!
As the. rose leaves of life drop off
one by one into the tide of time comes
the awful search qf the finite intellect
infinltiw Obi-wl 10m the heart has
long ago found: .
Let us gather back the mist’s ot
time to one of the first who refused to
eit.in the high chair of Romanism,
and' be bidden chew, whatever un
wholesome doctrine was spooned out
to bun by the mother church. *
This was Nicholas Capetuicus, abd
round his very death bed raved the
frantic mob whose religious supersti
tions he had dared to dispute, by
denying forsooth, that the firmament
was an amire shell .with sun, moon,
anti stars listened thereon.
They made a bonfire of a manu
script ; bnt be at last triumphed, for
through tb ‘ howling multitude rushed - - . _
an armed messenger on foaming “teed, • i“ *“"•:“!* £* n pn r' < vlif 1 , r ’“ ;
for whom death seemed only to wait,
who delivered into the nerveless
hands ot the dying man a book wet
from the press apd ruurmering “In
this I serve God*’ the immortal soul
soared into eternity, ,,
But the seed had beert' sown, and in
the, rolling ages tho plant nourished
and pruned by such minds as New
ton, Laplace, anil Tvndal, has grown
into a mighty tree overshadowing na-
li ns and twining its far-reaching
branches with mutual support with
one whose seed w^s sown—watered
by his tears of agony, anil nourished
by tbe life blood of Oar Blessed Be-
dtemer Jesus Christ.
Let us traae backward the dim
paths of centuries guided by geology.
We find perchance a hatehet ot hu
man manufacture. Do any of us
doubt that man existed at such a pe
riodljNo—yet can our own com
plex organization ; can the unbounded
systems that sweep through unimag-
ined circles of space own no creation ?
No! I tell you, beyond the gate of
life nailed in by stars, the’thundering
torents swell to the music of the
spheres and true sci -nce hears and
thrills to the Deprofundis of the mys
tery. ^
• What grandest art of man she asks
us In botony can equal one frail lflly
that blossoms, like a thought of God
across our path, binding in its snowy
bosom tbe unwound mazes of the
thread of creation for a nation of
lilliss. ;d LA- •»;-.! '»•

With trembling pinion through the skies

Till kneeling . t night* feet she fell,
Her tale of ignorance to tell.
Downward night bent her pitying face, .
Where ecritend o’er the lot* of space,

Each glimmered sadly mid the spheres
And then she spoke: her voice was low—
Intense with pity, and with woe
Like music, wildly sweet, profound

Many years ago in an old-fashioned
town in England, there was one meet
ing house, to which ou ev$ry Sabbath
the people resorted, amt where the
voice of praise, prayer and instruction
was beard for many years, under the
ministrations of a faithful,'pious, and
devoted pastor. A ;large portion of
happiness was enjoyed, not only
among the people, b it between "the
shepherd and the flock. Uniofr, con
fidence and charity were* there, and
under the influence of religious prin
ciple, many had come forth on-the
stage of active life, whom in infancy
the good man had baptised and who
now stood among his people, and as
members in the church. He visited
all, he comforted mourners, be cheered
the desponding, he rejoiced with the
joyful he was ‘instant in season,’ in
every good word and work. Thus
passed on the months and years, till
the good man was growing old.
It is written, that ‘a new king arose
in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.’ So
a new people rate, .here, who knew
tlie good olff pastor. "With new ira\
provements, they came ami made

and parish. The spiritual welfare, of
course, verbally; but in heart and
action, the .fashionable welfare was
not forgotten, oor the temporal. The
most neglected,,of all, by the new
folks, wits the old pastor’s life-long
laborers, his sterling worth, his ten

Now began conversations of various
kinds but usually in low tones, .ending
with, ‘ThatVonly the talk ; say noth
