J -s&CHARLOTTE. THE RESULTS AND .REWARDS OP STUDY. Among; recant emissions of the press we havo met with a literary discourse, which we Snd so replete with just and elevating ! sentiments, eloquently expressed, that we I copy bclo a-, for the gratification of our read ! ers, a few of its passages. It is a discourse ' on "Study, its Aims, Theories, Results, and , Rewards," delivered before the literary so ' cieties of Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, in August last, by the Rev. Dr. Junkins, of i IJollidaysburg; and what perhaps obtained for it our especial attention is that the rev erend author was formerly our fellow-townsman and the able and esteemed pastor of one of our churches: IXutional Intelligen cer. "The philosopher who deals with nature, forgetful of Nature's God. is employed, like the anatomist, upon a cold corpse. Link by link he may trace the chain of second caus es by which the scheme of nature is carried on; but unless he recognized a first cause the others will never live nor move, and his theory will be imperfect. His investigations may evolve sonic light; but, like star-beams on the snow, if lovely, it will be cold and dim. The physiologist may investigate our bodily system, 'so fearfully and wonderful ly made." Dissecting-knife in hand, ho may scrutinize every muscle, and fibre, nnd joint, and vessel, and membrane of the dead subject, until he may fancy that he has mastered the theory of life, and can tell how every function is subserved. He may al most conclude with the materialist that life is the result of mere organization; but still he cannot make the dead subject live if the animated soul be gone. Just so in regard to the whole field of nature. God excluded in our researches, nature is a corpse. God excluded from the theories of science, and all is cheerless as the shadow of death .' Tell me, as I gaze upon the glories of the heav ens or upon the loveliness of earth, that there is no god ; or that, if there be, he takes no part in administering the laws and carrying on the vast process of nature, and if I can believe it, nature dies beneath my gaze ! Tell mo, as I behold the mighty roll of suns, and worlds, and systems, that there is no All-wise mind to guide, no Almighty arm to control and regulate their motions, and, if I can believe you, my rapture turns to terror, my admiration to anguish ! I know not the moment when world may dash a gainst world, and sun rush blazing to the embrace of sun, and system become entan gled with system, and I nnd all I love bo crushed in the catastrophe. "But tell me that Jehovah reigneth, and I can rejoice. Tell me, as I bend my at tention to the study of mind and its laws; as I look into the deep and dark recesses of the heart out of which 'are the issues of life;' as I behold the human intellect in ruin, yet mighty and immortal in its ruins; as J gaze With trembling on the maelstrom of human passions, tell me there is no God to restrain, no spirit to renew, no blood to cleanse the mind of tho' fallen, and, if I be lieve, may faith, like that of devils, will make me tremble more ! Hut let me recog nize, in all the fields of human knowledge-, a God of infinite perfection ; let me discover God in nature, God in the heavens, upon earth, God in philosophy, in geology, in astronomy, in chemistry, in exact science, in history, in government, nnd in literature ns well as religion, and then light and life pervades them all ! An object worthy of the aspirations of tho immortal mind is found iu every department of science. And I can trace her labyrinths, and scale her heights, and explore her depths, nnd on counter her labors and trials, feeling at eve ry step that a Father's eye is upon me, a Father's arm around me, that a Father's favor will secure my triumph, and a Fath er's smile reward my toils. "Study is in a degree its own reward. The very exercise of the faculties is itself pleasurable ; and the successive evolutions of truth, the flow of thought, the inPaix of new ideas, and the stirring of emotion are occasions of delight. What Tyro has not beard of the glad 'Eureka, eurekn,' of the delighted mathematician ? and who has not experienced a kindred ecstacy when some new truth has thrilled the mind? "The earliest, an l by no means the least important of the benefits of study are the . j discipline and improvement of mind, which . prepares it lor mri.or nigfits, steadier ef forts, and a wider range. All things but God are progressive. The post and the present are the parents of the future; and he who will not take tho preps that belong to the present will not have made the pro gress which the future will demand. The experience and the wisdom of many gener ations have proven, beyond reasonable doubt, that the usual college curriculum af fords the most efficient process of mental discipline, which is a most valuable result of stuty. "I am aware that, in this age of short sighted utilitarianism, the conceit of sciol ists, the pragmatiso of visionaries, the in dulgence or avarice of parents, and the im patience of 'Young America combine to depreciate the value of a thorough college co-irse. Jtut tne viroicr 01 we expeiiencca fill t J .1 : . : . .....,, it. r 1 UUU 1 lie iM- i sliuui jii us iuvi'1, illiu all appeal to the philosophy f education and to the lessons of history attests the justness of that verdict. The great mass of those who have contributed to the enduring liter ature and the true science ef the world were thus disciplined. But for such a course of training the massive mind of a Webster, the gresping genius of a Chalmers, and the science, and the lore, and the luster of a j thousand stars of the same great galaxy had not been what they arc; a- d. .vith tho ad vantages of such a process of discipline, many a gifted but unturtured mind might have shone with a steadier and a clearer brilliancy. "Tho results of study in tho ndvaneen.t nt of the arts that multiply the appliances of human comfort and exalt and embellish civ ilized society are incalculable. All comes of studious thinking. And yet those who esteem themselves the practical men aro apt to underrato the thinking men, the hook men, the non-producers, as they sometimes call them. But this is a sorry triumph of thisthnught pursued me. Ofton I was corn narrow prejudice over sound reason. Your I pelled to hold mysolf on my chair, whilst educated, thinking men are often the most j reading, to keep me from sinking down ; valuable producers. Tho farmer, us he 0fteu I was so downhearted that I had tears turnstiie fertile glebe with the modern plough j fa my eyes, and sometimes I was very near with which science has replaced the clum- 1 the act of putting an end to my life.

There are cer the vast amount of physical toil that is fore- j tainly but few who in their acts havo gono stalled bv the results of study. Who made our railroads, along which sweep with the speed of winds, columns of passenger and burden trains, now scouring the plain, now plunging through the tunnel, now waking with their roar the mountain echoes ? Did the laborer make it with his pick and spade 7 True, ho did the delving, but ten thousand diggers never could have brought the iron horse along our valleys and over or beneath our hills had not their toil been guided by science discovered and applied by educated mind! And the iron horse himself, whose creation is he? Did you book-despising practical men, unaided by science, dig him from the mine and forge him nt the anvil? No, again. The iron horse, with his fiery bowels, and scalding breath, nnd terrible scream and thunder roll, and mammoth strength, and amazing speed, is the creature of educated mind, the result of study. Un guided by science, all the artisans on earth could not have built tho clumsiest locomo tive. And who has taught us to awake the slumbering lightning, and set it leaping from hill to hill, and from city to city, the instant herald of thought? Another triumph of science, another result of study." The way a Forttjke was Madr.

Let cvervdody know what you have done, and what you wish to do. It is expensive,' says one. What of this 7 Is is expensive to enjoy life.

Before I have condemned self murderers for their act ; but after I bate become a hypochondriac mysolf, and know tho sufferings of such an unfortunate being I pity the poor ones. In early youth, when I was about sixteen years old, I suffered from palpitations of the heart and frights, without dreaming; however, I slept rest lessly and but very little. This was the beginning of my sufferings ; then at onoe a thought struck mo that I was losing my senses, and that they would tako me to a lunatic asvlum : whether awake or asleep to work so painfully and conscientiously as I have ; and by all reasoniug I do not find the least of a guilt. I have always strivou 1 after perfection, truth and virtue, and after ! the model of the most virtuous men. I have never done any wrong, but no reason aids mo ; I am suffering in such a measure that I am compelled to put an end to my exist ence. But few happy hours I have had dur ing my life ; therefore, it is better that I should part. Do not condemn me, my friends, but pardon me if I have done you wrong or offended you. This is an expla nation of the step I havo taken. m . A STUi't.NDous Buidok. The construc tion of the towers for the suspension bridge over tho Ohio at Cincinnati is progressing.

A paper was handed to him, giving notice that "the introductory lecture of the annual course would be delivered on Monday night," Arc., at a certain medical institution in this city.
