 Christian exercise to extract a sentiment of piety from 

 what is called "Nature;" and, if you are not above 

 listening a little further to her still small voice, as we 

 pursue our microscopical studies, you will endorse the 

 pious exclamation of the Christian poet Milton, who, 

 looking " from Nature up to Nature's God," exclaimed 



" These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, 

 Almighty ! Thine this universal frame, 

 Thus wondrous fair : Thyself how wondrous then 1 

 Unspeakable ! who sitt'st above these heavens 

 To us invisible, or dimly seen 

 In these Thy lowest works ; yet these declare 

 Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine."
