No Waste In The Universe

-What an economist is nature, so made by God ! Sho ecouomizes even the 'igLt she so immcnsely posseeses; catches it in the moon as a eandie, after the sun has goue down, and we nay, wlien he is risiug on other lands ; and sends it incouceivably far frora up to the stars. She ecouomises heat, equalizing it for life and health of the vvholo woïld, by currents in the air and ooeau aud of the electric fluid. She economize8 water, to answer a thousand successive important purposes, in a thousand different places, with the same drop. 80 nicely and carefully she siftb ont its minutest portioDS from thcr briny sea, to cleanse the air and revive the plants at thia season, t to fill the springs, paint the sky, and support all human lile ! How, with her mighty elemental agencies, she crumbles and bears down the barren rock from the mountain8 and the hils, tec fertilize for boundless and endless crops the valley and the plain ! How she makes the aahes even of the dead spring into grass. and blossom into flowers ! How, applying the same economy to orude mineral from the gravel in the ground, she distils % curious delicate wash to protect the tender stalks of growing grain ; thoogh you may uot think what perhaps cuts yóur aand to bleeding ín this varhish of flint. How she gaves every hair, partióle, nail-pairing, and exhalation to turn it to eorr.e account Í How she eonerts ice, aad the snow that manures the poor mn's ground, into harvests of coru and wheat I How she nourishea her vegetable offspring, so that her aniir.al may not dia oj' hunger ? The roots of a shrub Hiiroiy for a supply that had been drawn si1e by an artificial channel, have been kcowu in their resolution not to be defruded, to find thuir way to tho acquednot ucder ground, aud bore a hole through its soft wooden plug, that every fibre might drink its fill, as was divinely Btended. To one who looks with a csreless y.iev oü Nature, it seems as if rerjthing with her were in extravagant excees. We quote the line about "many a tfijivcr bom to blush unseen," and we t&Ik tf the öools tUat are poared away to no purpose. But a close inspectiou correcta this error, aud shows how frugal lier utility andpeifeet her ordtr, enougb, but "uu room insert a parti cle," however Art may re arrange her forins to edúcate aod give scope to human power.
