PROGRESSION.
Surely, this is a progressive age. "Onward and upward" is the motto adopted by man; and each succeeding generaiion brings abun¬ dant proof, that in science and the arts he is indeed inaking rapid strides. Inventions, pro¬ ductive of much good to mankind—important discoveries in the chemical science, are be¬ coming more numerou.s, while the useful as well as the Fine Arts are receiving due and laborious attention.
Look at the colleges, academies, and insti¬ tutions of learning, that are continually- springing up in various parts of our country— look at the nnmerous useful inventions—the imporlant scientifical discoveries—at thegreat numberof learned men upon whom honorary degrees are conferred, ami you will unhesi¬ tatingly e.\claim, "Surely, this is a progressive age." Mental and moral culture, are indeed becoining objecis of attention, and as means of these, are the intellectual and religious nur¬ series—common and Sabbaih schools. The former are becoming more like objects of the scholar's love, than his hatred, while the latier, (and as greatly important,) occupy a much higher position in the public mind than form¬ erly.
But there yet remains room for more useful inventions, more cheraical discoveries, and there are yet many intricate and ditficull ques¬ tions unanswered; and many curious phenom¬ ena ihal are nol yet accounted for; and who knows; but ihat lhe work of another genera¬ tion of men may solve many difficulties, an¬ swer many myslerious queslions, and bring forlh many important discoveries and useful invenlions, ihus placing in a much higher position, the arts and sciences? Who doubts that the curionsand wonderful plienomeiion— the .itirora Eorealis, or Norihern Lights, may, ere long, be e.xplained lo an attentive and wondering world; that lo invent agricultural instruments for lhe help of the farmer ant! laboring man, may become, more generally, than it is now, the study of the learned and scientific?    Surely, none.
Perhaps while I am now writing, the mind of some philosopher is engaged in an.xious and laborious Ihought; or perhaps another is in¬ dulging in feelings of great joy on acconnt of something new—that bis own hard labor has brought forlh. With what great joy does he look upon his own invention, and contemplates that even he has been the means of doing some good for his fellow beings ! Much more might be said on this subject but time will not permit. Then we all, as being interest¬ ed in each others good, should contribute our mite to the advancement of the arls and sci¬ ences, and labor for our country's good.
FACTS IN NATURAL III.STORY.
A uLoBE placed in water, or in air, in moving meets wilh resistance and its velocity will be retarded. If you alter the glob^,ito the form of an egg, there will be le.ss resistance. And then there is a form called the soliii of hast resistance wliich mathmeticians studied many years to discover; and when they had disco¬ vered it, they found they had the form of a fish's head! Nature had " rigged oul" the fish with just snch a figure.
The feathers of birds, and each particular part of them, are arranged at such an angle as to be most efficient in assisting fiight.   The human eye has a mirror on which objects are reflected, and a nerve by which these reflec¬ tions are carried to the brain; and ihus we are enabled to take an interest in the objects which pass before (he eye.   Now when the eye is too convex, we use one kind of glasses to correct the fault; and if it be not conve.K enough, or if we wish to look at objects at a different distance, we use glasses of entirely another description.   Uul as birds c.innot get spectacles, Providence has given them a nie- thoii of supplying the deficiency.   They have the power of contracting the eye, of making it more conve.<, ao as to see the specks which float in the atmosphere, and catch them for food; and also of flattening the eye to see to a great   distance,   and   observe whether any vulture or other enemy is threatening to des¬ troy them.   In addition to this, they have a film, or coating, which can be suddenly thrown down over the eye to protect it; because at the velocity with which they fly, and  with the delicate  texture of their eye, the least speck of dust would act upon it as a penknife thrust into the hurnan eye.    This film is to protect the eye, and the same thing exists to some e-xtent in the eye of the horse.      The horse has a very large eye, very liable to take dust.   This coating in.lhe horse's eye is called the haw, or third eye lid, and if you will watch closely,  you may see il ilescend and return with electric velocity.   It clears away the dust and protects the eye from injury.    If the eye should catch cold, the haw hardens and projects, and ignorant persons cnl it ofi, and thus destroy this safeguard.
You all know well, if you take a pound of iron, and raake of it a rod a foot long, what weight it will support.   But if it be a hollow rod it will support a weight much greater than before.   Nature seems to have taken advan¬ tage of this also, long before mathmeticians had discovered it, and all animals bones are hollow. The bones of birds are large because they must be strong to move their large wings with sufficient velocity; but they must also be light in order to float easily upon the aii. Birds also illustrate another fact in natural philosophy.   If you lake a bag, make it air tight, and put il inlo water, it will support a large weight, say an hundred pounds.     But twist it, or diminish the air in  it and  it will, support no such weight.    Now a bird has such an air bag.   When he wishes to descend, he compresses  it, and  falls rapidly; when he would rise, he increases it, and floats wilh ease.   He also has (he power of forciu" air into hollow parts of lh« body, and thus to assist his flight.     The same thing may be observed of fishes.   They also have an air bag to enable thera to sink or rise in the water, till Ihey find their proper temperatures.     If they wish to rise, they increase it; if they wish to sink, they compress it, and down they go.   Sometimes the fish, in sinking, makes loo strong an efTort to compress his air bag, and bursts it, then"down he goes to the boitom, and there he remains for the rest of his life.—
Flounders and some other fiih have no air bag, and so they never are found swimming dn the surface, but mnst always be caught on the bottom.
In this way are the principles of science applied to almost everything. You wish'to know how to pack the greatest amount of bulk in tbe smallest space. The form of cylinders leave large spaces betwreen thera. Mathmeticians labored a long time lofind out what figure could be used so as to lose the smallest space, and at last found out it was the six sided figure, and also that three planes, ending in a point, formed (he strongest roof or floor. The honey bee discovered the same ihings a good while ago. Honey comb is made up of six sideil figures, and the roof is built with three plane surfaces coming to a direct point.
If a flexible vessel be emptied of air, its sides will be almosi crushed logeiher by the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. And if a tube partly fiUeil with fluid, be emptied of its air, the fluid will rist to the top. The bee understands this, and when he comes to the cup of the tall honeysuckle, and finds that he cannot reach the sweet matter at its bottom, he ihrusls in his body, shuts up the flower, and exhausts the air, and so possesses himself of the dust and honey of the flower. The feel of flies and lizaidsare constructed on a similar principle, and they thus walk with ease cn glass or a ceiling. Their feet are made so as to create a vacum beneath them, and so they have the pressure of the atmosphere, 15 lbs. to the square inch, to enable them to hold on. The cat has the same power to a much less exlent.
Planls require the sunlight, and some flowers (urn themselves lowards the sun as ic travels roun"3 from east to west. The sunflower does this, and so does fiehl-clover. These facls, though we have nol yet got to the reason ol them, are very intere.'iting.
Vou all know Ihat ifa hollow ball bo filled wilh agas lighter then air, it vviU rise and float away. This fact is beautifully carried oul in nature. The Farina, or impregnating dust of plants, are little balls, extremely thin, and filled wilh light gas. They are blown off from the male plant, and by falling on the female plant, impregnate il.
Nature has so arranged il, that the unctions matter which causes (he impregnating partol of plants to attach to oihers, never occurs at precisely the same time in male and female plants. Thus if the farina from the male plant hit the male, il does not adhere; but if it hit lhe female, i! does attach; the balls burst bul they are fastened and lake effect. Thus im¬ pregnation often lakes^ place many yards dislant. In raishig Indian corn you all musl have noticed that a single hill of red corn will impregnate an entire field; and red corn be scattered lo a long distance through the whole field.
The "Virginia Creeper throws out tendrils in (he form ofa foot wilh five toes; each toe has a large number of hairs or spines, which entering the small openings of brick or lime, swell and hold on; but when decaying, (hey shrink and the plant falls off. The vanilla plant of the West Indies exhibits a similar construe tion, excepi that il winds itself around other objects.
The gastric juice is worthy of remark. It I is a tasteless, colorless, inodorous, limpid fluid, like water, and is adapled in different animals to different purposes. In the hyena, and other carniverous animals, it will not dissolve live flesh but will dissolve dead flesh. These creatnres live upon olher animals, and even bones are soluble in their gastric juice, while it will not dissolve vegetables at all. On the other hand some animals live entirely on vegetables, and their gastric juice will not dissolve animal food.
We cannot alter the nalure ofan animal by changing ils food. It will still belong to the same family. In this particular, bees are better instructed. When they lose their Ciueen bee—which is an eniirely different animal from the working bee—if you present anoiher to them wiihin twenty-four hours, they ¦will not accept of her nor obey her. They prefer laking an ordinary grub, before it be¬ comes a flier, and feeding it wilh a particular food and treating it in a peculiar way: and when it leaves the grub stale it becomes a queen bee, and they always suffer themselves to be governed by her.
The habits of ants are extremely curious. We have heard of ant houses, sometimes 20 feel in diameter, filled with halls and rooms of great size and strength. These and beaver dams are constructed upon strici mechanical principles.
In some insect species, the males have wings while the females have none. Thus is the glow worm ; and the female has the prop¬ erly of emitting a phosphorescenl lighl, and were it not for this, the gentleman glow worm would never find his way (o his lady's chamber. She cannot, therefore, hatch her eggs, but buries them in lhe sand and leaves nature to hatch them fer her. Some birds build no nesls-like (he cuckoo, which deposits her eggs in the nests of other birds-but she knows enough always to select the nests of birds that have bills like her own : for Ihen she is assured her young will have the same kind of food as she heiself would procure.—/. J. Mapes.
CHOICE OF A FROFESSION.
Sonie young persons enteriain ridiculous no¬ lions as lo the choice of a profession. Carried away by the glitter of uniforms and lhe splen¬ did pageantry oflhe soldier's life, noihing will please them shortof entering the army; or perhaps carried away bythe narration of ma¬ ritime adventures, they resolve on following the hazardous profession of a sailor. But a very little experience of the realities of life generally banishes these idle dreams. Others pitch upon the clerical profession as mcsl suit¬ able to their ideas of living an easy and digni¬ fied existence, and enjoying the reverence of those around them, without reckoning on the abilily of their parenls or guardians to furnish them the necessary course of education, or if they would subsequently have the good for¬ tune to fine a benefice. Many more equally delude Ihemselves with regard lo what are called professions. As a matter of course, they musl be something better, Ihough only in appearance, than their falher; and so Ihey frequently turn their atteniion to occupations which to them look remarkably genteel, bnl which all lhe world besides know lo bo super¬ ficial and unprofitable. The young in the middle and lower ranks of society should by all means bc governed in thi!se inalters by their seniors, for ihey are ceriainly the best judges wilh respect lo whatparlicnlardeparl- raent of industry they should attach them¬ selves.—i/owie Journal.
WINTER HAS BLESSINGS.
If we e.xamine lhe works ofthe Lord with atteniion, we shall find, even in (his season, many subjects which may lead us to rejoice in Ihe goodness of the Lord, and lo exalt the miracles of his wisdom. During lhe budding spring, the bountiful summer and the luxuriant Anlumn, when Naiure, from (he most simple, assumes her gayest and most splendid robe.-, hardened and callous, indeed, must be that heart which does not throb with pleasure and pulsate with gratitude, lor such choice gifls. But when the norlh wind blows, when a frost stiffens the face of the earlh, when the fields are stripped of their fruits, and dive.sled of all their charms, present one wild and desolating view, then it is that men of the greaiest sens¬ ibility will somelimes forget to be gmleful.— But is it true that the earlh is so utterly des¬ titute of the blessings of Heaven, that it pos¬ sesses nothing that can e.xcile the emotionsof gralilude and of piety in the heart of man ? Certainly nol. Let us only bestow more at¬ tention upon the works of Nalure, and we shall never find occasion lo arraign the wisdom of God.
Reflect for a moment, upon the misery of being exposed to the rigors of winter, wilh no clothes to defend your shivering frame—no fire to cheer and lo animate your benumbed body; and then rejoice and be grateful for the favors you receive. You have everything that can contribute to your comfort. Though you cannot penetrate ihrough the veil whicli overshadows the creation, though the great Firsl Cause ofall things be hidden from your view, rest assured that nothing is created in vain; all tends lo one grand point, the glory of God, and the happiness of man.
POWEROF THE LADIES.
We copy the following extracts from an el¬ oquent aj)peal to the friends of temperance, contained in a southern paper. The speaker said:
"You have influence which may be felt throughout all our land—throughout all time. We know that the sphere in whioh it ope¬ rates is different from ours—that it has none of the tumult and slruggle which characterize the performance of the rougher and sterner dulies of life, but it is not necessarily lesa im¬ porlant and momentous. The greatest move¬ ments in nature are certainly not always those which are attended xvith the noisiest demon¬ strations. In what wonderful stillness is the whole economy of the natural world adminis¬ tered ! Behold the vasl machinery of tbe uni¬ verse ! With what infiniie and inscrutible complexity il proceeds in its immutable course —yet do we hear any noise or sound ihereof? Such is your influence—quiet and unobtrusive as that of the stars, noiseless in ils course as that of tho sun, but a siream of life which may go forth to gladden and vivify all our land."
'       A TRUE MAN.
Who is he ? One who will not swerve from the palh of duty to gain a mine of wealth or a world of honors. He respecls the feelings of all, the rich and the poor, the honorable and the humble. He is as careful not lo speak an unkind or a harsh word to his servant as to his lord. He is attentive to the wants of a slave as to a prince. Wherever you meet him he is the same, kind, accoinmodating, unobtrusive, humble individual. In him are embodied the elements of pure religion. No step is taken whicn the law of God condemns —no word is spoken that pains the ear of man.
Be you like him—then you will be prepar¬ ed to live or die, to serve God on earth or in Heaven.
EXCELLENCIES OF KNOWLEDGE.
There are in knowledge these two excellen¬ cies : 1st, that it offers to every man, the most selfish and the most exalted, his peculiar in¬ ducement to good. It says (o the former ' serve mankind, and you serve yourself;' to the latter, ' in choosing the best means (o se¬ cure your own happiness, you will have the ¦sublime inducement of promoting the happi¬ ness of mankind.' The second e.xcellence of knowledge is, that even the selfish man, when he has once begun to love virlue from little molives, loses the motive as he increases the Inve, and at last, worships the deity, where before he only coveted the gold upon ils altar —Bitlwer.
We once knew a good old parson, who fre¬ quently, in his sermons, endeavored lo impress upon the minds of his hearers, the omnipres¬ ence of the Divine Being, and on one occasion made this comparison; " God is like a striped squirrel in a slone wall—he can see you, but you can't see him.—M. Gazette.
CATCHING THE SUN. Iu crossing the Atlantic, says a friend, some years ago, we were very rauch araused by the remarks of two verdant sons of the Eme¬ rald Isle. It being near meridian, the captain was engaged in laking meridian altitude, ilu ring which process he was narrowly watch ed by the two before mentioned. At length their patience could stand it no longer, and one cried :
'Array, Jerry, what's the capiain doing?' ' Whist, Pat,' replied Jerry in a whisper,— " He's sthrivin to catch the sun in a brass rat trap.'
Anecdoteof a Cat.—In 1821, a shoemak¬ er on the south side of Edinburgh, while en¬ gaged in cleaning a cage in which he kept a lailc, left the door of the cage open, of which the bird took advantage, and flew away by a window at which iis owner was then stand¬ ing. The lark being a favorite, its loss was mueh lamented. But it may be imagined what was the surprise ol the house, when aboul an hour after, a cal belonging to the sarae person made its appearance with the lark in ils moulh, which it heltl by the wings over the back, in such a manner that the bird had not received the least injury. The cat, after dropping it on the floor, looked up to those who were observing her, and mewed, as if to attract attention to the caplive. The lark now occupies its wiry prison, wilh the same noisy cheerfulness as before its singular adventure.
Moral Sayings.—We never knew a'scold- ing person that was able to govern a family.— VVhat makes people scold? Because they cannot govern themselves. How, then, can they govern oihers ? Those who are general¬ ly calm are prompt and resolute, but steady and mild. '

05"' Sally, how do you like your new place'' Is It a religious family?' 'Well, I rather guess It IS—(hey alwaya have beans on Sun¬ day.'
Effect of Dombstica-tion on Bjbds.—Pro¬ fessor Low, in speaking of the effect of domes- lication on birds, says: 'They lose the power of flight by the increase of size of (heir abdo¬ men, and the diminished power of their peoto- ralrautcles, and olher parts of iheir body are altered to suit this conformation. All their habits change; they lose the caution and sense of danger which, in their native state, they possessed. The male no longer retires with a single female to breed, but becomes polyg¬ amous, and his progeny lose the power and the will to regain the freedom of the race.'
K?"The success of individuals in life is greatly owing to their learning early to depend upon their own resources. Money, or the ex- peotalion of it by inheritance, has ruined more raen than the want of it ever did. Teach the young men to rely upon their own efforts, to be frugal and industrious, and you have furn¬ ished them with a productive capital which no man can ever wrest from them, and one which they themselves will not feel'disposed to alienate.
Oj'Would you prosper in the world? IfsiJ, have ambition enough to attend to your busi¬ ness; there are always fools enough to attend to olher people's. But do not have ambition to work for the public to the neglect of baking your own bread, for then ten chances to one, you will find yourself placed in a condition very unenviable. It has been truly remarked, (hat a dog with a tin kettle lied to hia tail isa fit emblem ofa man who has appended lohim a (in kettle of ambition, (o chase him on faB(er and faster through the world.
DS^ A skeptical young man, one day, con¬ versing with the celebrated Dr. Parr, observed, that he would believe nothing which he could not undersland. 'Then, young man, your creed will be the shoriest ofany man's I know.'.
t.JuiTE A DiFpERENCE—A poor man who had been ill, on being asked by a genlleman whether he had laken a remedy, replied—' No, I aint laken any remedy, but I have taken lots of physic'
' These are the fall fashions,' said the drunk¬ en loper, when he tumbled inlo the gutter.

K#"An honest old farmer, attempting (o drive home a bull, got suddenly hoisted over a fence. Recovering himself, he saw the an¬ iraal on the olher side of the rails, sawing the air, with hi» head and neck, and pawing the ground.

Is n't it rather an odd fact in natural histo¬ ry that the softest wator is caught when it rains the hardest ?
For lhe Examiner ic llenild. ^^Knoietfdge is Power."—Lord Bacon.
This is the tirae for improveraenl, and it is a matlerof impoitance how we spend it. The above quolation has been used so long and frequenlly, that every school boy may have it on his tongue's end. But it is equally true, (hat few persons comprehend ils import. To elucidate this fact, we must, (in thefirst place) consider who has the exclusive right (o exer¬ cise power, in all Nations, where,^in a majori¬ ty of oases) the few oppress the many. Bui the best illustration of this topic, may proba¬ bly be drawn, by considering who exercises power among us, as a nation.
Ifany dispute arises between two or more citizens, they may refer it to a Justice of peace, because he has knowledge of such mat¬ ters. If his opinion does not satisfv both par¬ ties, they may refer it to the Jud'ges of the court, since they have raore knowledge than the Juslice. If the opinion of the Judges does not give satisfaction, a jury of twelve may be tried and still no satisfaction obtained ; finally, when all those powers are paid for their deci¬ sions, a resort to the Supreme court is next in order, aud the decision of that body ia final; and the parties must be satisfied. If a suit involving fifty dollars is taken through tho as¬ sumed course, and all cosls and fees paid, the parties may be five hundred dollars minus in pocket, (each) and one has confirmed his claim to five loads of strav?, whioh is worth fifty dollars.
If the parlies had had knowledge enough to know whether the tenant or the'landlord owned the straw, the suit could have been avoided,and those whoe.xceicised their knowl¬ edge would not have drained their (the par¬ ties) pockets, by the power of their knowl¬ edge. Again, a knowledge of the sciemso of numbers, gives us power lo know the revolu¬ tions, distances, and size ot all the heavenly bodieabelongingto our sysiem, whereby every eclipse is calculated to the second, aud con¬ stitutes the ground-work of our calenders and almanacs. A knowledge of the electric fluid, gives US power lo protect our dwellings, and 10 communicate with distant cities with the speed of light, as it descends to the earth from the great eluminator of the solar system. A knowledge of the evaporation of water (by fire,) gives us power to transport agricultural and commercial commodities over land and waier wi(h the speed of the ilove, and a pow¬ er that shakes the earth. A knowledge of letiers, gives us power lo obtain knowledge which would defy all experience, without it; and finally, a knowledge of the Holy Bible, gives us power to resist Satan, and by grace, obiain everlasting happiness. Knowledge su- percetles all things, and wilhout it, man is (at raost) tL tlepenaont being, 0..1J must in an inings take counsel of his superiors. Aman wilhout knowledge, is like a bag wilhout a bottom, or a bird without feaihers.
