The following essay handed us for publication was read before a litera- ry society in Elk Hart township by our young friend Weldon Yates: Everywhere the caretul observer sees the economy ot nature, and ack- | knowledges the universal law of ft- ness. He observes the movements ot the earth, sun, moon ana stars, and speculates upon their relative in- fluence ; gaining by his researches a conviction of the mice adaptation of their effects. He beholds how beau- tifully all things in God's creation harmonize for the most goo,] to man- kind. God is the center of emana - tion of all things created and tit “has pleased Him in his infinite widom to found his creation on the principle of opposites. We have the celectial and terrestrial ; the planets and sat- ellites, and suns ; hight and darkness ; heat and cold; sohd and fluid: ani- mal and vegetable ; male and female ; growth and decay; good and evil; lite and death; and soadd infinitum. And everywhere we behold the iaws ot mature.( Which aie ‘hat more nor. leSs thn ‘*Divinte-Laws’’) «harmon- ising ‘these .with perfect nicety. So that-we,- conclude - ta. destroy, one must likewise destroy .the effect of the other. Pursueing the track of the scientist we conclude that the planets are retained in their respect- ive places in the heavens by the law of gravitation, each one performing its revolution as so many wheels in this complicated machinery, termed the Universe. Stopping them to take a view of our own planet—the earth, and speculate upon its com- position, and some of the influences that are brought to bear upon it, we are made to contess how admirably all harmonize and accord with the desigas of a Creator. From the ter- rible internal emotions to the quiet, peacetul breezes that fan the ocean’s brow. We behold the land and mountains, hills, plains and creeks, water valley rivers, lakes and seas. We observe the warm sun- light drinking moisture ito the clouds, next we see the winds driv- ing the clouds over land, until check- ed by mountain or hill they precipi- tate their treasured drops to the earth to replenish the streams, feed springs, and quench the thirst of tHe vegetation—earth’s offspring man’s delight. and Here we take in at one glance a home prepared and adapted to every need of mankind, trom the savage to the civilized, and trom pole to pole. Now tollowing the footsteps of the naturalist we visit the animal, vege- table and mineral kingdoms. We first observe the close relation of the three. We view each family, class and specie in every climate, we note their succession, ana mark the de- pendence and independence. We study the laws that govern them, and acknowledge the nice adaptation ot each to that especial locality. From the graceful pines that adorn the Nowegian hills, to the gigantic can. yan and lofty palms of tropical re- gions. From the shrubbery that. crowns the mountain's summit to the mammoth sequoia that stands at _ its base; trom groves of deciduous to forests of evergreens; from orchards | of delicious fruits to those of nuts; | trom fields of grain to those of moss d litchens; trom the great white fur to the termble lion that roams the torrests ; from the huge thick skin- nedjhairless elephant. rhinoceros and hippopotomous to the seal and whale trom the camel-man’s servant on the dreary desert to the reindeer and dog of frozen regions; from tie Liama and alpacca to the ox and horse; and from the fishes of the ocean and fresh water streams to the fowels on land, and the birds of the air we see how wondertully their wants and uses are fitted to the circumstances in) which We also prospe cir- they are placed. note t oWes its y and ment lar tothe others. Scient- ists tell us thateven in the simp! process of breathing, animals give off trom the lungs carbome acid gass—oue great essential, that must give life to the plant. Now that we have in some degree noted that the close adaptation of the laws that govern the ‘elements that influence, control and compose the earth ; the adaptation of the plants miprove- | and herbs to the several zones ard to | the wants ot the animal . creation: and of the fitness of each by nature and habit to his especial habitation ; and observed the suitableness of all to the wants of mankind, let us now turn our attention to the human tam- ily. Now the blending of the Spir- itual and earthly, the make up ot two distinct qualities ot matter and mind, is so constituted that .by na- ture he can adapt himselt to the in- from the ice blocks ofthe poles to the burning, scorching heat of the equator, aud from the summits of the snow capped mountains to the low valleys grown luxunant by for- ests, fields and flowers, or on the briny ocean. In the oae extreme we see in polar regions the Laplander, whose wealth is estimated by the number ot reindeer be owns, dressed in skins, feasting on cran berries and reindeer milk or cheese, or enjoying a merry ride through the snows drawn by his deer, which finds . pas- pasturage in fields of mosses and lichens, covered with snow. Or here we see the happy contented Esquimau dressed in his bear suit and seal skin Sacque or beaver over coat seated by fire in his Snug little cot of ice blocks feasting on great chuncks of tat from the whale or seal to him-a delicious meal, or we , be- hold him in his hght whale bone and seal skin skift in Pursuit of some huge sea monster, or enjoying a pleasure nde in his sledge drawn by his dozen or more dogs. Then in the other extreme we behold the Af- rican or the S;A. Indian almost in a nude state leading an idle, savage or warhke life, feasting on berries or the delicious fruits of those regions or it may be on one ot their country men. Destitute of all noble quali- ties yielding, all to the baser Passions. Now let us strike the medium line between those opposites, I be- lieve we have already hinted that op- posites are efficient of the most per- tect harmony, and theretore let us see ifit applies in this case. We now enter the temperate region, and m the first place we see a great change in the natural order ot things. Everywhere we see the land decked ; with beautitul mansions or pretty litle villages or busy cities. Wesee here and there the cultvated fields ot the different grains, or large or- chards of various fruits,or the beauti- tul pastures and meadows on which gave the domesticated anmmalsded- icated to man’s wants and uses. Ev- erywhere the scene is changed by the industry ot man. Tis here we behold civilized man busily engaged in the industrious pursuits of an en- lightened race. ’Tis here we find a climate most congenial to mankind. ’Tis here we see humdnity engaged in agriculture, manutacturing and mining. ’Tishere man feasts on the fruits of his labors aud is engag- ed in habits elevated far above the gross and graveling of the savage, enjoying a sociability unequaled on this earth and only surpassed by the angels. ’Tis here he acknowledges and worships the true authors of the universe, and enjoys that growth of mind which enables him to hold communion with the inyisible through the visible, and by meta Physical speculations is enabled to observe the mutual dependence and mysterious connection between the body and mind when he_ recognized how freely each member of the body responds to the dictates of the will. Everywhere we behold the perfect fitness with which God’s wisdom has harmonized all, and can truly exclaim with Pope. All nature, is but art unknown to thee; All chance, direction,‘which we can not see. All discord, harmony, not Understood ; All partial evil, universal good. ee Important, | When yon visit or leave New York City, save Baggage ee and Carriage Hire and stop at oe Union Hotel, opposite Grand Cen- tral Depot.
