Nature exhibits on all sides a scene of unceasing change. Whether we contem plate the ?ower which blooms in the field, or pursue amid regions of immeasurable space the roving planet, we discover them both gov erned by this universal principle. The one progressing from seed to stem and from stem to blossom, after displaying its beauty and ex haling its fragrance, withers, dissolves and arises in some new form of matter - the other pursues its ceaseless round with a giddy and incalculable velocity presenting to the eye at every different point a different phase.
