nature when we imagine that it will respond

have, not faith enough in the truth, and
have not learned the secret of inspiring noble

The Soientists,
There is something restful in a contem-
plation of the subjects which are annoying
the attention of the men of science gathered
• together at Toronto, Says the New York

problems mimed by the prospective ;Arena's
Exhibition, the dreadful dieoloeures of the
last eomestic tragedy, and the boiling of the.
cauldron, to a congress concerned about
"The Vitality of Acorns and Ve abet, Burls&

emotionel refreshment whose value ean
scarcely be overestimated. It clears the
horizon of the future.
