I'^gi. ASTROKOMICAL REVERIE. 1^7 



" This medium of fafety and of wifdom Is no othef 

 than adlive deity itfclf, and is univerfal and niiinitc; as 

 the univerfe itfelf. 



" Ages of ages muft elapfe before any newepocha will 

 arrive in your world ; but man will continue to ap- 

 proach nearer and nearer for ever to perfeftion. 



" It is like the fnining light that ihineth more and 

 more unto the perfect day ; but it is liker the ilnidow 

 of a dial, which generates a curve, the parameter of 

 which is continually approaching to the boundary ot 

 the curve, but can never attain it. So, my fon, are 

 you iituated with refpeft to the univerfe, and to its au- 

 thor ; be diligent, be afpiring, be modeft ; fave your- 

 felf from felly, fi'om vanity, from vic^, from evi,ry low 

 purfuit, and continue to feed your foul with knowledge, 

 with the confcioufnefs of peace, and with the purrity of 

 virtue. Farewel." 



Here ended my divine iniiruclrefs, and v.'ith a finile, 

 to which the fmile of Jupiter on Juno, as defcribed by 

 Milton, feemed to be but vulgar, afcended up to hea- 

 ven, from whence flie came. I was agitated beyond 

 all expreiTion, and in my agitation I awoke. 



Thus, Sii", I have given you fhc narrative of my 

 molt extraordinary dream, which I am fcnfible is not 

 fit for the perufal of wife pUilofo[.hers, to whom I am 

 but as the nothing of my divine initruftrefs ; but if it 

 can afford pleafure to any of the lovely girls tliat read 

 the Bee, or even to any worthy old wouian that reads 

 it, with her flocking going on at ti.e fame time, I ih.iU 

 be perfectly farisfied. 



I am, Mr. Editor, with regard, your humble 

 fervanr, AbTi<o ThjIologuj!,
