following passages are of the highest significance : — - " Man can , ifhe will adapt himseipo the laws of life and beauty , and every departure fron : health , comeliness , and happiness , is but a thermometer of the violatior of these laws . The first law to be obeyed , to render an organised being perfectj is , that the germ from which ifc springs shall be complete in all its parts , and sound in its constitution . ' If we sow an acorn defective in some vital parts the seedling that springs up fill be defective . If we sow an acorn sound in all its partsy only half ripened , or damaged by < 3 anrp , drouth , or other causes , the seedling will be feeble and die early . The same law applies to man . A second cause of beauty in man is obedience , not only to the former hiw , but also to this , that after birth , the food , light , aiir , and physical aliment must be supplied in due quantity * and the best suited to the constitution . A third cause is , obedience to the organic law , which ordains that all the organs of the body shall be duly exercised . " \ V 7 iy Should We -Pray for Fine IVc-nthar ? A Sermon , liy ¦ -Charity Klnysley ,. 3 I . A ., Kcctor of Co \ crlej \ J . J . Parker an * Son . It is a comfort to find a sermon that can be read without afnieting the spirit and mortifying the flesh , and this is decidedly the ease with the excellent discourse before us . Mr . Kingsley had entertained religious and scientific doubts concerning the propriety of praying for fine weather , and he accordingly furnished liis j ^ arishioncrs with an excellent epitome of the religious , and philosoj ^ hioal aspects of the weather , in lieu of praying for a miraculous change . He told them he did not believe the rain , to be a Divine - 'judgment or manifestation of anger , but , on the contrary , an exhibition , of Divine forethought and benevolence . That they were intended to compensate for the small rain-fall of previous years , and although likely to occasion temporary and partial mischief to' the farmer , would , in the end , prove serviceable to agriculture and the public health . He said , lie could not expect that thp weather would be changed because ignorant men called for alteration-r—that would upset the whole course of nature , arid prove in the highest degree niisehievous ; and itnpressed .. upon . his hearers the duty of believing , that Grbd had ; ordered , all things Well ; and caused meteorological phenomena to succeed each other according to laws that were wisely aiid beneficently contriyeci . , :
