Abo to exhibit a diagram of One BfillUm Unite,^ whioh has been pa^niied by his Exoelleney the Ooremor Qeneral of Canada. The age in irhioh we Uto is a progiessiTe ono ; progression is the order of the uy. Whatever art or scienoe we tarn oar eves npon, whether meehanies or mathematics, astronomy, geology, physiology or phrenologv, they ali are on the progressive soale ; almost every day we have bronght before as new diseoveries and inventions^ and from all olan^ -^ ^^ of It may be Well said, time works many ohanges in man and in things, and it is onivevsally aeknowlettoed that we live in times of infinite importanoe. If we eany oar thooghts naok to the great Exhibition of 1851, we shall remember that there the mind was almost overpowered with the arts and soienoes of sll elsssss of men, and Arom all nations, and firom that day down to the present time, the machine has been moving onwardk and onwaids, and iHll oontinae to do so to the end of time. - On bdidding saeh an edifioe of glass and eanning workmanship— the magnifleent exte- rior of the pohioe, and the oostiy works of man within— one was impelled to say, wAol m mam, f and, M>hat iahenoi able to dot Two vOnr impor- tant qaestions. First, then, what is man r A qaestion whioh tho wiiMst of heathen phiksopluas have not been able to explain. Vfhai i$ manf Mjm is a wwrid <^ mystery in himsdf. Ifan is a machine of the most exqiddte worionanship. How symmetrieally and how wall is each murl adapted to every other. Who designed the phm f . The great I AM I who is the great aiehiteet of heaven and earth. Who was the maker of thip rnaddne I God— ^ho made all tidnas — the great Bnilder of heaven aii§euth. Who set the maehine in motion ? dod^Hvho is the great first moving power tk aH tilings in heaven and eartb-^*' He breatheainto man tho breath of life and he became a livins sonL" Who is the pr sss r r t y of this machine 7 Qod I ** The veiy haiii of oar head are all mmibend." *(He that keepeth Israel nOither slamberath nor deepeth, Ibr iik Him we »»• '] & Bt« Mid inoT* and have oar b«ing." The maohine ia of aveh a natuM, ihal BO improTtmant oould bo made when il lint oame from the handa of ill Maker.

What i$ mmf Mania«-to diaoover all arte and aoienoea— to iiiyont all maoninea— to oonatroet all inatrnmonta, bnildings, &o. If we take tho •eienoe of aatronomy ; the utronomer, Vith hia powerful teleaoope, ia able to diaoover worlda whioh have never yet been aeen by tho naked eye of man. Thia adenoe, ainoe the 16th oentniy, haa made great headway. In t)M daya of Ptolemy, and ap to the fifteenth oentaiy, it waa believed that oar darlh wan a fiztare. Ptolem/a hvpotheab waa that thia globe of oon waa a fixture, and the aan, planeta and atara were revolving round it ; but in the flfkeenth oentuir, Oopemieua, wha waa a ixild and ori|^4 g«niua, ptroeived thai the olumay and unnatoial ayatem of Ptobmy oduld, not aeoount for^ the motiona aiid appeaianeea of the eeleatial orba. u Ptolemy'a •vatem be oorreoty then we behold the aun, that miehW luminary, flying thnnigh boundleaa apaoe at the rate of 24 milliona of nulea every hour, or 607 nulliona of milea every dn. Again, the phnet Uranua would move round ^ globe al the rate of 446 mUliona of n^ilea every hour, or more than aeven milliona of milea every minu^, or one hundred and twenty- ihiea Ihooaand aiz hundred and aeventyfaeven milea in a moment Again, if PtolemVa hypolheaia be true, we have other bodiea moving round thia globa al the rate of 14 hundred milliona of milea in a aingle aeeond, or the interval of tkne whioh the pendulum of a oommon olook takea in moving ftom one aide to the other. Again, if Ptolem/a ayatem bto true, then we baiMda the aun, whieh ia 18 hundred thonaand timea hrger than this fl^obe, fevolving round Ihia globe every day. Therefove, Oopemieua adoptod the Pjrlhagorean ayatem, whioh ayatem had been believed five aan diud^y eaw before Ohriat.

Some of tbe atonea of tbia pyramid aro oorered witb hiero- glypbioB, and it atanda aa one of tbe tbree wondem of tbe world. Man ia able, with the power that Qod baa giren bim, to truTerao and meaauie tbe mighty ooeana which belong to oUf earth, and even meaaurjMbe eartb on wbiob we lire and moTO. \ The Paoiflo Ooean, wbiob la tbe'largeat in tbe icnown world, ia eatimated to meaaure eighty milliona of aquara mika. or eighty timea the diagram, Tbia ooean oontaina more milea of water then there i^ dry land oter the known world, wbiob only eovera forlf-oine milliona of aquare milea. Then we have Uie AUantio Ooean, wbiob moat of na have had an opportunity of aeeing and orooaing. TUa oeaan oon« tuna 26 mUiona of aquare milea— 4be Indian Ooean 18 milliona of aquare milea—^be Southern Ooerin 26 milliona of aquare milea — ^tbe Noraieni Ooean 6 milliona — the Mecyiternmean 1 million, making a totd of 140 milliona of aquare milea of water, wbiob ia more than three timea tb4^ quantity of dry land upon Uie fao9 of the g^obe. We are led from the preoeding renuurka to oonaider the wonderful workf of Him, " Wbo bath meaaufed the watera in the hollow of Hia band, and meted out Hmtou with a apan, and oomprebended tbe dust of tbe ImrUi iua meaaure, and weighed the mountaina in aoalea, and the biUaina balance : that stretobeth out the Heavena aa a ourtain, and apreadetb them out aa a tent to dwell in."

Our time |s short in this life to praise God, for every year, it is said that 26 millions of our fellow-oreaturea die and pass into eternity. Our Ufo is a dream, Oar time as a stream OUdeiB swiftly away. And the Aigidve moment reAises to stay. ^me like an ever rolling stream, | , Bears all its sons away, ^ey fly forgotten, 'as a dream Xnes at die op«ning day.

" Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy huids; Thou hast put aU things under his feet.»' We mav weU say, "The Unes we fallen unto us. in pleasant places, yea, we have a goodly heritage, — • "Thine, O Lord, is the greatneg? and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the Majesty, for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine--Thine is the kingdom, Lord, and Thou art exalted as head above all— both riches and honor come of Thee, and Thou reignest over all, and in Thy hand is power aiod might, and in Thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all^now therefore, our God, we thank Thee an^ praise Thy gtorious name." " For Thou hastoreated all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created." " For of Him, and through Him, andtoHim, ate all things, to whom be gloiy for ever. Amen.
