GEOLOGY, i EV KDWARD EVKRKTT. It has been as beautifully. as truly said, that " tiie undevout astronomer is mad," The same remark might with eqiial force and justice be applied to the undevout geologist. Of fall the absurdities ever started, none more extravagant can be named, than that the'grand and la r-reach -' ing researches and discoveries of geology; are hostile to the spirit of religion. They ; seem to us, on the very contrary, lo lead V "T,MV uy ai-p, into mt more immediate presence of that tremendous power, which could produce and can alone account for the primitive convul sions of the globe, of which the proofs are engraven in eterpalcharacters.on ihesides of its bare and cloud, piercing mountains or are wiought into the very substance of the strata that .compose us surface, and which are also, day bv day, and hour bv hour, at work to feed the fires of tne vol- cano, to pour forth its molten tides, or to compound the salubrious elements of thei m;neral fountains, which spring in a thousand valleys. In cozma. at the star-; ry heavens, all glouous as thy are, we s sink under the awe of their magnitude tne mystery oMheir secret and reciprocal their secret distances.

We study, we reason, we contemplate. "We climb the giddy scaffold of induction, up to the verv stars. We borrow th e wi ngs of the boldest an alysis, and flee to the uppermost parts ol Creation, and then shrining our eyes oh the radiant points that twinkle in the vaults of ni ight, the well constructed sees open tug mg b. fore it, the stupendous mechaniim of tire heavens.

'Fhe hands of Orion are loosed, and the sparling rays Which rfcss earth other on his belt, ore revolted into floods Of light, streaniinjr from sys tem lo system, across the pathway of. the Outer heavens. The conclusions that we reach are oppressively grand and tub lime; the truth! isf ltooyasl, too remote from the premises, from which it is de ducted; and man. poor frail" man, sinks back to earth, and sighs to worship again with' the innocence of a child or Chaldean shepherd, the quiet and beautiful stars as he sees them in the simplicity of sense.
