USES OF SEA-WEEDS. 
**No person, now-a-days, will venture to pronounce Sea-weeds useless. 
Had we known no economical uses to which they could be applied, still we 
should have been bound to adore the goodness of God in clothing the rocks 
and.channel of the sea with so much beauty. Much of this beauty may be 
seen from dry land, but submarine scenery is viewed to far greater advantage 
during the leisurely movement of a row-boat in a summer day. How 
rich and various their colours ; and how gracefully do the branches of these 
submerged forests wave in the deep! And though there are no birds to 
enliven the scene, there are thousands of fishes and crustaceans, whose move- 
ments are not less interesting than those of birds. If few see these things, 
does it not magnify the condescending kindness of God that he makes so rich 
a provision for the happiness of these few ?”
