INTRODUCTION. 
Continual experience is a continual teacher in every depart- 
ment of human life. The dawning of science was but a precur- 
■ that in the un fathoms bio depths of immensity was boundless 
intelligence. No one has been able to grasp her ever present ^et 
mysterious truths. Diversities in the mineral, the vegetable 
and animal world but point man to the fact that the samo diver- 
sities exist in the human brain ; for man, the ultimate of the pri- 
mate, must forever look below him to have mirrored out the ex- 
act shadow of the man within. Hence wo find the Chemist dis- 
solving the combined elements; the Geologist disintegrating the 
rocky stratas; the Zoologist studying the animal; the Ornitholo- 
gist, the fowl: tho Naturalist, a combination of insects, fowls and 
animals. So every man’s pursuit but reveals the Motor within 
Being subject myself to the universal law that controls humanity, 
I must ol:ry the impulse of the soul. I can better serve myself 
and my fellowmon by such a course than to create continual .dis- 
cord withiu my own bosom. Shall I labor at the forge ? when if 
my hands were to obey what is in the mind’s eye they would 
mould the iron into the form of a Bee. Shall I hold the plow ¥ 
when the first passing bee whispers in my ear, Follow mo. When 
every flower seems imperfect, without a bee nestling in its bosom, 
and the insect world is divested of its beauties without them 
when every passing breeze that bears its busy hum to my impas- 
sioned soul, repeats the language, lie is your Teacher. 
, ■ aware tlietc has been much written concerning this little 
mseot and many truths relating to its peculiarities have been un- 
folded : that errors have crept into these publications, many 
times from ignorance and perhaps not a few times from egotism ;
