If in the visions of the future glories of this country we behold villages, towns, and cities, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, happy in accumulated wealth, resplendent in taste and beauty, why may we not see in the same glow of inspiration NEW MEN rising in the boundless prospect, plucking up, with a strong hand, the poisonous weeds of error, and cultivating the soil on which they grew for a goodly purpose? NEW MEN, who with new ingenuity, and fresh vigor shall interrogate nature until she shall give new responses, developing her deep mysteries more freely. NEW MEN, a term of reproach in decayed nations, but here the only nobility-the only order of distinction; new, because they bring new lamps into the temple of science that shall burn with a broader blaze and purer flame than those which have long been glimmering and flickering upon her altars; new, because their names are identified with new principles and new discoveries-and because in collecting and diffusing knowledge they lay mankind under new obligations of gratitude.

THE END.
