    TIECIEj HIGHER BRANCH OF SCIENCE, OR Victoria - < f*- A A Paper read at the Hall of Science, Melbournefon the 15th August, 1884, which was written with' the intention of being read at a meeting of the Royal Society.of'Victgria, but which was declined by the Council of that, conservative Association. “ The Astronomer, with patient, searching gaze Doth with his tube the depths of space explore ; Shows Neptune’s orb, or ’neath the solar blaze, Reveals a world by man unseen before. Justly the world rewards his arduous toil, And claims to share the glory of his fame ; Beyond the boundaries of his native soil, From land to land the breezes bear his name. But he who doth a spirit-world reveal, Not far in space, but near to every soul, Which nought but mists of sense and sin conceal, (Would from man’s sight those mists at length might roll !) He is with incredulity received, Or with a slow, reluctant faith believed.” W. H. TERRY, 84, RUSSELL STREET, MELBOURNE.
