The whole nice of domestlnited animals in man's service, yielding him eggs, milk, wool, and even flesh, was wild at llrst, that M to -ay, was 1.0 fur separated from, as to be of 1:0 ue to him. Uy Ills skill he not only tamed these animal-', but, as it were, lie has moditlcdond remodelled them after a pattern supplied by hitn-elf. Jlanfashionsntwilldraught-horses and racer, oxen for the plough and oxen for the table, sheep which fur nish wool and which furuMi tallow, fowls which lay eggs and fowl which are fitted for the spit, fat pigs and lean pigs; from one breed of ilgJ, man has produced the greyhound and the bull-dog, the setter and the harrier, the pointer and the laptlog. When you go to an exhibition of any sort of live animal--, remember that art lias 11- groat and Nature as little a share in it as in an exhibition of pic tures. Apply the same method of reason ing to all agricultural, arborcultural, and horticultural exhibition'1. Neith er our gardeiw, our Held", nor our woods, are masterpiece of Na ture, as is ignorantly said; they are masterpieces of human industry. All double llowcrs, without excep tion, aro man's work. I'luck a wild roc from a hedge-row, and then go and sec a collect ion of Verd ier's roe; you will learn how much Nature has bestowed, and what man has made of it. Ali;tho pulpy and Juicy edible fruits are man's work. Man went a faras Asia, and oven farther, in quest of the coarse products which re-enible our peaches, our cherries, our pears, as much as tho wild rose resembles tho " Palace of Crystal" or tho " Ho membniuce of MitliniiKon" 100. Each of our vegetables represents not only distant voyages, but also centuries of skilled labor and assidu ous elaboration. It was not Naturo that gave the potato to tho poor of our land. Hu man industry went in quest of it in America, and has cultivated, iiiodl ilcd.ameliorated, varied, and brouirht it step by step to its present state, accompiisiiiug me resmi in less man a century. Yet to this century of culture must be added the prior labor bestowed on tho plant by the natives of America. When tho products of n distant country aro brought tons, wo aro prono to beliovo that Naturo alone has done every thing. Hut. when tho Spaniards discovered America, it had been cultivated from time immemorial. Hence man had turned Nature to hisadvantago there, ..

It grows spontuno oiisly in Upper Egypt, yet there It yields but a poor and miserable seed, unfitted for making bread. Many ages and a prodigious expenditure of labor iwero required in order to develop, swell, and perfect the seeds of this useful seed for man. Have you over been told that wheat is dis tinguished from other cereals by its containing a notable proportion, some times a quarter, of nitrogenous sub stances? This valuable gluten rep resents the blood and llesli of thous ands of generations that perished In tho culture of wheat. Whilo labor supplied the most pre cious of its useful Properties to this grain, of which each of ms consumes tlireo hectolitres T8j bushels yearly, pharmacy altered tho uso of fifty vegetable poisons converted them to tne prom 01 ourspecies. rsot merely does man add a portion of utility to that which possesses nono naturally, but ho turns bad Into good. JMhioikI About. Sowixo C'i.kax Si:i:i "Wiikat. A correspondent of tho Ciiwlmuttl (t'tnettr makes the following state ment: Many years ago, an English colony was left uiion a lono island in the Pacific. With other seeds they had some wheat which happened to lie entirely clear of foul seed. For thir teen years tho colonists grow wheat from this stock, without a specimen of chess. After this there was sent thorn n now supply of foreign seed wucat, which nappeucu 10 00 10111 Result! Now they grow client 01 or chess all over tho island.

T.iH'TUiu:. llov Stephen Uowors delivered the third lecture in the eouro at Heed's Opera House- last night. The audience was great ind appreciative. The subject was the Two Great books the ttook of Nature' anil tlii) Hook of ltuvelatlou. In these Mr. 1). allowed that there was perfect accord. With the claim of deuce, so called, he had nothluir to do, but only with what had been prov en to bo true science. Tho supposed anllitilty of man, he said, Is mere the ory, for in no instance have human remains been found which hnvo been shown to antedate the Mosaic creative days. The progressive ilevelopement theory in accounting for man's origin Is not founded in fact. Ho of the nebular hypothesis theory, in account- lug for the origin of suns mid planets, inescientiueoiijeetiontotiiis, present ed by the speaker, lias never been an swered by Its frluiuN. The claims of science in reference to the cruitlon of the earth was taken up aim compared wiin tne MiH", showing the records of ngreenient between tho two. All the objections ottered by the oppoers of the ltlble, on mis stinject, on purely -dentine grounds were considered and refuted under mine seven or elht general proposition-. There could be no real thought and research. It was delivered In the usiml happy and forcible style of the speaker.
