0 in - . . . . . When the eyes of the infant first open upon the world, the reflected rays of light which strike them from the myriad of surrounding objects present to him no image, lout a medley of colors and shadows. They do not form into a wholeg they do not rise into foregrounds and melt into dis- tancesg they do not divide into groups, they do not coalesce into unitiesg they do not combine into personsg lout each par- ticular hue and tint stands by itself, wedged in amid a thous- and others upon the vast and flat mosiac, having no intelli- gence and conveying no story, any more than the wrong side of some rich tapistry. The little halve stretches out his arms and fingers, as if to grasp or to fathom the many-colored visiong and thus he gradually learns the connection of part with part, separates what moves from what is stationary, watches the coming and going of figures, masters the idea of shape and of perspective, calls in the information conveyed through the other senses to assist him in his mental process, and thus gradually converts a kaleidoscope into a picture. The first view was the more splendid, the second the more realy the former more poetical, the latter more philosophical. Alas! what are we doing all through life, lnoth as a necessity and as a duty, lout unlearning the world's poetr-9, and attaining to its prose. This is our education, as laoys and as men, in the action of life, and in the closet or lihraryg in our affections, in our aims, in our hopes, and in our memories.
