thing is changed with us. The earth whic i
was -lately so beautiful and fruitful, is now

no longer behold that beautiful enamal of

the magnificence of summer; those differ-
and meads ; the ‘purple grapes ; nor the gol-
den ltarvests which crowned our fields.——-
When the earth is stripped of its corn, its
grass, and its leaves, nothing is to be seen
but a rough and rugged surface. It has no
longer that ‘beautiful. appearance which the
growth of corn, greens, and herbs produces,
over a vast country. The birds ‘no longer
man that universal joy which reigned thro’-
out all animated nature. He hears nothing
now but the murmuring streams and whist-
ling winds. C-on,stanlly the same dull sounds
which can only create disagreeable sensa-
tions. The fields have lost their perfume ;
and the air is damp and cold. , p
“ Yet the country, "stripped and desert. as
it is, still presents to a feeling mind the im-
age of happiness. We may recollect with
gt-atitutlc to Heaven, that the firltls which
are now barren, were once covered with corn
anti a plentiful har_ve.s't. It is true, that the
orchards and gardens are now stripped, but
the rt.-me.mbrancc of what thcybcstowed up-
on us, may make us content to bearthe. nor-
th:-rn blast which at pr»:=.sent we feel so sharp.
The leaves are fall-'-n from the fruit trees ;
the grass of the field is witheretl ; the dark
clouds fill the sky, and fall in heavy rains.—-
The unthinking man complains at this; but
the wise man helsolds the earth moistened
'ith rain,_and bcholds it with a sweet satis-
faction. Thc dried leaves and faded grass,
are prepared by the autumttal rains to form
manure to enrich the ground. This reflec-
tion, with the plenusing expectation of spring,
must natural»ly excite our gratitud_e for the
te.ndcr mercies of our Creator. Though the
earth has lost its beauty andextcrior charms
and is exposed to the murmurs of those it has
nourished and cheered, it has already begun
again to labour, secretly within its bosom for
their future \'‘velfai'c. ’
W Pcrltaps our own lot in this world has its
srasons: If it be so, let us in the dull winter
of. life, have recourse to the provisions laid
up in the days of prosperity; and endeav-
ot-to make a good use of the fruits of our ed-
ucation and experience. Happy, if at the
close of life, we carry with us to the grave
the merits of having been useful to society.

“ A mineral spring°has lately been dis-

on a bier into the field, and be informed

Thcy dog and found a spring of very singu-
lar looking water ; (I have seen some, of it.)
It resembles clay-pit watcr,‘but will never
settle nor strain clear. This the young man
man thought was not the right spring and
wished them to dig further; be said the man
told him a flat stone would lie over the spring.
The young man died, and the last word he
said. was, dig ! Since his death, a man has
been there from Massachusetts, who could
use the mineral rod; they dug twelve feet
into the earth, and came to the flat stoning‘.
they drew it off with oxen, and undeliitiwas
the spring ; the water is clear, and people
can drink a much greater quantity of it than
of otltc1"watct-; on some it operates as an e‘-
mctic, and on others differently. ‘We do not
know yet what the effect will be on invalids’.
It has excited great curiosity here, and peo-
ple are coming from all quarters to drink
the water and carry it away with them.-—
You may depend that this is all true.”
Distressing. Case.-——A gentleman in very
respectablecircumstances, had a son in bu-
siness, for whom he was cautioner; but his
son becoming bankrupt he was unable to an-
swer the demands on him, and became bank»
rupt also.-—-Immediately after this, one of
the daughters died of a consumption. Soon
after, another was seized with the same
complaint, and followed her sister.--'I‘he
son. having gone abroad, lost his health, and
died also. The father, wishing to remove
another and a favorite daughter, now become
doubly dear to him, to‘ a little distance for a
change of air and scene, was conveying her
in a gig along the side of the canal leading
to Gt-angemouth, when the horse, b'ccontin'g’

young lady was‘ drowned, and he with dith-

but is universally allowed to be injutiuus to the
