Tho Spiritual and Rational Processes Corpareds Renson ond Its Limits---Foith; Its Objects and Aims, Prof, Swing at McVickor’s Thea- tre, Yesterdwy. The following, one of the sories of discouraos on “ Bkepticlsm” now being dolivered to tho cangrogation of thie Fourth Prosbytorian Ohurch, worshiping in McVicker's Thoatro, was pronch- ol yostordny morning by tho pnstor, the Rov. Prof. Bwing, to & vory largo audionce : Blesaod aro thoy that Lave not scon, snd yot have bo- | Loved—/olin 20 1 29, It has always beon tome a grave question how much ovidouce one should expect or nwait in the flold of roliglous boliof. What amount of proof itis mnly to wait ; what absenco of proof is it that is “sufliciont to condemn ono of boin credulons or suporstitions aro quostions difficuls of solution. And yet in an ngo whosa Iundnna;{ 18 toward rationalism, tho question what should bo the limit of this tondoucy is a practical aud almost momentous question, Roason may ho the parallol of firs—n good eervant, but o bad mnster, The firo thnt choors the heart, and around which grandfathors, and fathers, and mothors, and sistors gathor in tho . Wintor ove, may bo before murnln;iv o lurid flamo from which n hundred thousand oftizous aro fly- ing in torror and poverty. any of the boautiful things of oarth linyo o dark sido.

Resson mny thus bo o good sorvant, but n bad master. That it is & good sor- vant, I hiave no doubt, but whethor 1iko s slmplo fire upon ono's hoarth it will turn into & conile~ gratlon, or ko o zoplyr, will turninto a tornado, aro quostions worthy of tho calmeat thought and geavost solicitude, A priori, wo should think that renson would bo subject to chango from n vituo to o vico, Lovo thus is oxposed to peril. It haw its own holl of passion. Ambition ling ita oxtromo of rocklessncss ; Religion has its manin; Ine dustry ofton worke its.subject to death; and Plongure itsolf becomes at last npain ; its goal oxcess. Honco, standing amid theeo transitions of the good to the bad, wo may feol quito coi- tain that Reason can ovordo its worl mudbecomo 2 blindness to tho vory souls to. which It bogan 88 light, i I do not eco any limits put to this bungering for evidence, nud honco I fear thatashumanlove tosses itsolf about untit it reachios tho madnesa «of Socinlism or Mormonism, and as the roligious sentimont works itsolf up into o fronzy liko that of the Dervishos, or Faliirs of India, thus may Rationalism work buioud bounds, and, setting out for a world of light, bring up at list to o world of darknose. Agngorvant, grent and faithfal has Ronson Doon, 0D, what orrors and follies hinvo dis- solved at ita touch | Al the new impulse which Invontions rovoal in onr day comes from tho ro- enoration of reason in the ago of Lord Bacon. o invited mon to observo tho notunl facta around thom, and then raiso inquiry whathor .any bettor nrrangoment of facts could bo do- duced. And mankind looked, and scoing alicavy wagon dragged up & stecp hill, thoy uwed thoir xenson, Thoy saw, for the firet timo, tho foll of uuch trannporintion, Thoy lovolod tho hill, Aftorward, thoy substituted & wooden rail for the wagon ; aftorward an iron rail ; subsequent ,iu?uuy gave us tho train of cars, t was tho same employment of ronson, the ®amo obgervation nf facts, that transformed tho sicklo into a roaping-machine, and the fingors of -poor childron into o rpinning-jenny, - Thus, all tho offlorescence of arts nnd sclonces, and -that covers our world tc-day ns tho grass covers tho prarion - tho outgrantlyof Lumai rosson quickoned into life by the nuw Baconion philos- ophy. Our ropublican governmont, the growing democrncy of Europs, the freedom of ulnyos tho omnncipation of ‘oman, the deslino of su: perstition, aro all results flowing from the use anan hna modo of his faculties in tho last con- tury, "Fio wholo world once worshiped only thomes, and made no atudy of {facts. The ‘words “thn?jv s’i{," wore all the evidence man- kind wantod. hoy say that if you dio unbap- tized you aro lost. They say that any threo Linds of leaves will cure n]{oisannua wound, Thoy say thore 1ua chemical agent that will transform stonos into gold. They say thore is an Elixir of Lifo, of which having drunk, you will nover die. Thus, & thoory no matter whero or how it bogan its carcer, was always .xecoived ns inspirod. Thero was no inquiry into it nctual merits. If tho Church assorted that it Thold in ite_cathodral tho bones of Adam, or tho | rudder of Noah’s Ark, or tho nails of the cruci- fizion, thoro was no public disposition to go back of tho theory. tho crowd longed for .wn_ul to seo to seo those bones, that rudder, those naila. The investigation of facts and the doduction of valuablo lessons lm[i]nn undor Lord Bacon, and was carried forward by the French aud Amer- Jcans and Englishmon. Wo beheld now a ro- doomed world—a world from which tho bones of Adam, and the pioces of Non's Ark, and tho socred mails aro almost gone, aud into which has como tho freedom of man and wo- mman, and tho reconstruction of religion. And £hin grand work of roason is still going forward, xemoving chaff from wheat. In tho Protostant churches it is' producing a groat protherliood by exalting tho Inrge and sn- fmsash\g tho small, and in the Cathollc Church it £ Eruduclng such rovolts as that of Dollinger Hyncintlo, and_is each yoar consigning to ho dust somo old relic of tho garret or the brain, Nov, this reason which i8 5o grand n friend of roaukind may also become a dreadful master, Tt may spread liko tho fire from tho hearth, and bocomo n drendful conflagration, spread likea ro- ligious enthusiasm, which ofton bocomes o hiowling insanity. This investigation into facts drove the deyout Fugh Millor into iuennity and suicide, Others It has led into atheipm the moat blank, for there aro boundaries over which reason cannot pasy, and tho mind, having no other rosourcen, oming to there Jimits, boats against thom liko an imprisonod bird, It will not do to shut the soul up to any one path, bo it love or reason, or gain or nmbition. Thore must be differont paths so that the brain weary of ono, or bafiled in one, may find rest in anothor. Whon in the days of tho nscetics the mind %hiad turned its attontion mpon self-donial alone, it cach yoar domanded greator rovorities, until aftor n generntion hiad passcd tho denial of yes- tordny was nothing to the new torturo of to-day. Tho poor Eaints at last went for threo or four days without food, and somo raached the' xaro_virtuo of ouly ome meal a wook, To the imind wedded to ouly one narrow path, doath sets in in its awful form of imbocility or madness. Ttwill nlm\}'s bothus. = Lovo, livod for, turna into mnnin, Rlchos, lived for, turn into povorty. Thore is 1 solf-denial that bocomes & consump- tion, and a resorve that bocomes ico. 1t is not probuble that Nature has exempted reagon from this law. Indoed, wo know that God bns anid to it what e has said to the sea: “Thus far shalt thou come, and no farther. Hore #halt thy proud wave bo stayod.” ‘Whnt the nnnlog{ of things might lond us to suepoct, the actual events of tho world revenl, namoly’ thnt thore is a followiug of ronson that leads fo nn eclipso of all faith and to o doath of the soul, Uuless wa ate as God, knowiug all things, thero will bo boundarien which we cannot pass, ‘The difterouce betwoon man and Doity 1nuit e in tho extent of thoir moral and montal confines, God ig the world; manisan island npon its bosom.

In this dilommn of liniited sight, and limited lovo, and limitod froodom, and limitad roason, wo cannot (o otherwise than yiold with a con- tonted sbul, and bless God that 1o thought us worthy of ovon an island world, Lifo is full also of other things than reason, and for tho ignoring of thiw principle comea tho unhappinesa of many o giftod mind. ‘To those who do nothing but ronson, tho wny will ofion soom vory dark, ~ Tho mind feeding only upon tho visiblo consumen itself.

Tho nmo Doity that planted- reason in the soul planted_also natural toudoncies of actlon, and faith, and hope, Reason is n rnndc{:nr! of man, but it is only & part. The obild roaches for the fiuwum, or puts ita arms around its mothor's neck, not by any command of ronson, but bo- enuno tho God who fashloned tho logical faculty hiad othor blossinga for the soul. Io is not a limited makor, but n glorions, generous being, inflnito in goodnoss; and whon, in Intor yoars, the world unfols to us its varied bun\fl.i' by dny and night, it is not bocauso of anylogical faculty we possoss, but bocauso the soul is broader than itarenson. Itoason is only one of tho throads in ite saored fabrie. When “friendship spenks ite kind words to mo, or muslo invados mo with ita ponsivonoss, It noither comes from any renron or goos to any recoption of logic, but {t paesos from soul to soul at the command of God. It ia tho soul’s nnturo. Whon tho sunlight falls npon tho vinoysrd or orchard, thoir fruits grow purplo or crimson ; and 8o whon tho beauty of nature or music foods upon the goul, it is trosformed into Lnppiness, 'This is all wo know aboutit. DBut this we know, thoro 18 no more of logio in the human joyfulnoss than on the purplo grapes. Blessed aro thoy not who all lifo long demand that they seo the print of the nails and of the spoar, but who go to rullglou by o vision of tho spirit, and by wounds no i tho hands or sido of mortality, but by tho longings aud the sorrows | of tho sptrit. o The chief worlk of lifo {s not to build up tho argumont for roliglon, but to gatlor its joy aud hopos, Of courso it may bo all & droam.” It is always possiblo that donth may bo sn_ otornal eloop, and God »_ohomicnl action—possible for roaton 8o to think; but roason is not always to Do truted, for tho soul has other facultios, and in this erlas I would rather command a doubting 108500 to tho roar of tho human march, and_call to tllm front tha bost idoal, tho best hopo of the soul. + All humanity has always dreamed of & futuro lifo, Now, this drenmful nature is as much & art of the soul as its logical faculty ‘is. Mau's ongings aro just as divino as hiy renson ; not a8 oxnct a8 mathomatics, butas truthful in tho grand rosult, The roasoning power is dofective. If you will follow carofully tho lend of logie it will lead us to doubt tho existence of God, and oven of a ma- terial world. The E’mmi“ that » God of infinite goodnoss would not croata a world full of suffor- ing, and pormit 900,000,000 of boings to pass ench gonoration through all forms of sin and sor- row. But such n phenomenon occurs, “Thore- fora there is no God of goodness. Thus, in many iustances, tho logical facul- ty _roveals its unfilnoss to oot tho noed of all bouws. It is unablo to find a premiso, and honco is unablo to draw & conclusion. - 1f Archimedes had o placo to act as fulerum of alover, Lio could movo the oarth out of its orbit; but, fortunately, thore was no fulerum for his lover, and no )1 lnco upon which he could stand. Thus reason fails utterly, ofton for want of a major premiso; and, for the most plu'bfi- hero the soul comes In_ with ity nojgral drif anad swoeps sway all need of logic b natural lmBuluu. Tho confessedly bottor charnctor o the cliaractor that loads in virtuo and and all moral boauty,—I mean, of cow choractor of woman,—draws its eu&::flor{ it ia said, from aoting by a divino instinct, rathor thon by any ratiggalism, When sho pursuos tho right, it 1a not Som any philosoplic weigh- ing of tho welfaro of self or gocioty, such ns would influence Franilin, or Pufforndorf, bub from tho color of hor soul, from nn impulse quick 88 lightning, Why should we nll supposo that whonl_God” hiad mode tho lugical faoulty, Ho consed from Nhi8 luburs, end left men to the 'mercy of that instrumont? Faots aro against it, for much of human happiness comos from tho natural tastes of the.soul, and woman's groat~ ness comos ohiefly without the lelp of promise and conclusion. Mon havo " confossed to mo that thoy loved church mueic, loved tho ldeas of a liboral ro- ligion, loved to, think.of heaven, and hoped to meot thoir loved fricnds there, but could not find the proof of anything, - Thoy- have tried long and well, and are ofton beautiful charactors in mind and soul, but they Inck juat one olement, and it is a dosired one,—that spirituality which ovorwhelms nll things with & sontiment, just as wo grasp tho bonuty of tho sprigtimo, without - any shadow of proof. Thoro is no logic that will prove that spring is any moro boautiful than December.© If you will attompt any rationalism upon it you 'will flud that, like Archimedes, you bave no place for your lovor or yourself. You cannot got o Msjor promise; but fhio momsnt yo turn your chook to_ita soft nir or your eye to it apringin 088, you dogpl fool that ‘spring is all beSuc (ug'iu beauty nn(F L': a rofloction of Paradise. But why should God order his spring timo to come to us without logic, and thrill our beads with it beauty, and leavo nobla minds to woop becnuse they cannat find tho rationnlism of re- ligion, He willnob lonve spring to an instinct and_imuortality to logical dospair. Both worlds, this and tho noxt, are dfiai&’nod by tho Creator to bo felt by the soul boyoud the dictates of pure roason. he difiionlty with us all is not that res- son if too powerloss, but that our spirituslity id too fooble. Stroug as to musio or naturo, it is wenk a8 to religion, Virtuo with its strict Inws is not plonsing enougli to compola oulture of the. religlous sentiment. .As. a dark cloud roaclios up from the horizon and . loys its wet, henvy land upen tho faco of thosun and throws n world of loveliness intoshadow and mist 6o that & voseel is wrocked upon the rocks, and the groans of breaking hearts mingle with the i;rannu of tho dark waters, so tho wickedness in he heart clouds tho soul's spirituality, and malkes the mind stumblo in tho midst .of argu- mont whon ita truo path was thatof a divine in instinct. Thore is a nentimont in tho sonl called love of home. "It acoms distinob—well' dofined. Lot that sontiment bo tortured by exile or migration ; let. homo sickness come, and in an in- staut the. sky and land aro swept of all oharm, and thore is no logic that oan provo that the most beautiful gardon is ™ mnot adeoert, The sight of the sun sickens.

I do not know what is to becomo of us all unloss wo coufoss tho oxistence of an inner soneo that gives us hope of Heaven just ag it glves us lovo of mnature orhomo, oo wo confess that there are flowers of affection as well a8 of argument, Wo shall want reason to help us uMnYu tho suporstitions of onr fathors. Wo shall all need it to help us awny from the reap- ing of grain with a casoknife and from the hang- ing of witches ; to bolp us away from tho holy bonos of the saiuts, from tho holy rolics of Nosh's Ark, and from the damnation’ of infants and the onslaving of mon—nood reason to help s away from the wagon-rond ond lond us to tho flying train ; to holp us abjure mon's articles nnd oleave ta the Sormon upon the Mount, Lut there must bo other aids confessed in onr caroer.

Maror 20, 1673, T have 200 acros noar Pootono, in Will Gounty, that 1 wish fo ncod to timothy.grass, Bhinll T sood it this Bpring or noxt fall; oud can I harrow it in on tho stubblo; and how much sood to thosere? D, W 1If in grain-stubblo, sow at onco, about 0 quarts of clenn sood to tho ncro; and, a8 soon as tho land {8 in condition to put on the toam, roll ity Dut keop off tho karrow, Somo porsons soed the stubblo aftor hinrvest, but, of lato, the long, dry sutumns havo been discouraging. Grass-scod may be gown with any of tho spring grains; but tho harrowing should bo comploted before sowing tho grass-secd, unloss o lght Liarrow Is used, in cose tho goason isn dry one; but the rolling should not bo omitted. If tho crop of spring grain i vory hoavy,tho grass will mnko but feoble growth ; and, should tho harvest bo fol- lowed with hot, dry weather, tho young plants will bo linble to suffer, if not killed outright. BEEDING WITI CODN. T iave seen o good stand of grass sown in tho com-fleld, This is dono aftor tho corn hag had ono cultivating, then Eown, and the wholo rolled. The corn-crop, in that caso, was out 'up and shocked for food, In the mcoding of timothy- graas, a gront deal doponds on the condition of tho soil ot the time of scoding, and for somo days thoroafter. This sood will grow at o vory low tomporature, and honco carly scoding is doair- able, a8 it will be lesslinblo to injury from drouth. Thon, again, tho scods are very small, and, if dooply covored, thoy wil not gorminato, or, it thoy do, it is not possiblo for the dolicato plant to forco its way to tho surface. When we har- row in tho sced, wo must of nocessity cover o largoe portion of it too dooply; for this resson, 4ho surfaco should bo nicoly propared, and tho sood pressed In with thae rotler, QUANTITY TO THE ACRE. Many farmers insist upon sowing a peck to tho acre; but, if the soll is in good condition, and tho good good, half of that quantity is abun- dant. Of Into years, it has beon my endeavor to havo tho land so thoroughly propared that tho sood will all grow, and three or four quartsis abundant. In sowing, the condition of tho soil must bo takon into consideration, Usually, stubble-land in tho spring is in good condition for tho sced to gorminato, and yot & porcontago” is lost in tho stubble by lodgment; but tho stubblo, acting as & mulch, protects the young plants until they become well rooted. WITY THE OROF PAILS. Tho catch of grasa fa said to bo uncertain, and " many people loy down speciflorules in rogard to tho timo of sooding, and yot that hos loss.to do with the rosult than the condition of tho soil. I havo had good success in midsummoer, and Lave loss foith in the particular time, In case of o dry soason, like tho threo pnst oncs, my enrly soeding has proved tho bost; but, in case of & wob scason, we moy sow on stubble in August with assurance of o' good catoh. Any person, with a moment's rofloction, can_sce that a seo 80 small as this willnot atand o hot sun and dry soil at first, but must havo timo to bocomo estab~ lishod. In toomany casos wo have du}wndnd too much on arbitrary rules, rather than look at the facta that make tho conditions favorablo or unfayorable. OIDER AND CIDER VINEGAT.

URAL, N Five Whites and Tyro Xndinns Killed. From the Leavonicorth Times, March 28, Lnst ovening William Holland, of tho Engi- noer Corps, atrived at Lenvenworth from the southwost frontler, and brought the nows of sorious doprodations, Ho roports tho killing of fivo Indians on the Cimmaron, and two white men on Medicine Lodge Crock. ¥rom all appoarances, the bodics of tho whites had boon without lifa for a woelt previous to their discovery. Ono wasg rocognized 28 the corpso of CAE‘L. Grifiln, who kopt a rancho wost of Wichitn. His body wos identifiod by his woodon leg. His scalp had been takon, which is ovidenco that Indinus Lilled him. Griftin ind_beon employed as a guide at Camp Bupply, and was roturning to tho sottlomonts when killed. Tho ground noar tho spot whero he was found was strown with thoshells of oxplodad cartridgos, showing that ho and his comrades resisted the Indian attack. Mr. Holiand reports that one of the Indian bodies found on the Cimmaron was that of Big Mcuth, the Arrapshoe Chicf who visitod this city lnst month, and paid & visit to tho Morria school. It ia_thought by Holland that tho Indirus wero killed by the iradera along the Cimmuron selling whisky to tho red.mon, aud that tho In- dinns‘iu rotaliation killed the white men. Big Mouth and his party gave ovidence against some tradora in the United Stacs Court at Topoln about four weekes ago, Big Mouth'sloss is g{unsmfly rogrotted, becansg ho was rocognized at tho agoncy as & usoful and cnceful Ohiof, and ono whoue influonce in tho rection of Paucn on the frontier waa valuable. Our information from tho southwestern cougtry in to tho offcot that tho tredors are cas on on oxtenalve traflic in liguor with the Indians, and veory sorious trouble with tho tribos is likely to be the rosult.
