Microscopic Wonder

Upon exarnining the erige oí a very shai-p lancet with a microscope, it will appenr as broad as llie back of a knlfe ; i-ough uneven, full of notohcs and furrows. An exceedingty smaü ncedle tesembles a i-ougli iron bar. But ihe sling of a bep, seen ihrougli the same instrument, exhibiu everywhoie a most beau.iful polish, without the least flaw, blémitA or iuequaliiy, and it enrts in a póiat too fine to be discerned. The threada of a fine iavvn ssern coarser thnn the yarn wi;h which ropes are made fur anchors. But a silk worm'., web appeors perfectly smooth and sliining, and evorv whereequal. Ths smallpst dot, ihat can be made with a pen, appears irregular and uneven, but the liule specks on the wingsor bodies of inseels are found lo le most accurately circular. The fines! minialure piintings appear before the miroscope raged and uneven, entirely void of beauty,-either in the drawing or coloring. The most even and beautiful varnishes drill be found to be mere roughness. But the nearer we examine the works of God, even In the least produetions, the more sensible sha!) we be of his wisdom and power. In the rumberless species of iusects, what proponion, exactness, uniformity, and symmetry do ■e prrceive in all organs ! what profusión ofcoloring! azure, green nnd vermillion, gold, süver, peoría, rubíes and dranwods; fVinge and emumidery on thcir bodies, wings, heads and every part ! how high he finishing, how inimitable the polish we every where behold.
