Ours are so now, said Gibson, despondingly. Not exactly so, replied the manufacturer. Don't fancy that I wish them lower, or would not make them higher if I could; but I cannot allow that they are at the lowest. Do you know no Irish hand-loom weavers who make only four shillings a week? Poor creatures! yes; but how do they live? Crowded together on straw, with mere rags to cover them, and only half as much food as they could eat. It is dreadful! It is; and God forbid we should see many more

Genesis had not descended to us. Instead of deriving the World from GOD, it was more common among the classical nations to derive their gods from the world. Hesiod, as well as Epicurus, makes his Divinities to be an order of beings springing out of the material universe. Several Pagan nations, even in our own times, thus account for their existence. Few have thought the Deity to be the Creator of the Earth or of the heavens; and the mind had become so confused on this point, that it was more

This has been done as if with the foresight, that two great errors would be raised in the world, and would be set into opposition against it the casual origin of things, on the one hand or their un-originating eternity, on, the other. We learn from literary history, and we see around us in life, that these notions have occurred and are struggling for prevalence; and as you
