Where streams were bright av; nieatlows green,

Sang as they left the earth behind
And wiiig’d tlicirjviynns way above,
Of ltjtleii-peace and ‘Exit-an-‘love.
But now. the streams are dry; and sere
And brown the meadows all appear;
The flowers are gone; the bird's glad voice.
But seldom bids my heart rej-iice;
And. like the mist as comes the day,
My Eden-world hath rolled away.

Clt’li.t_7_l‘tllul scenes of rual beauty. The sea-
sons ot the year all give their niintiul les-
sons for instruction: If is our \vis‘d'o_m to re-
gard them carefully. Spring summons us all
to cheerful activity, with assurances that our
labor will" not be in vain. Summer performs
what Spring had promised, and shows ustht-.
advantage _ of listening to early itistruction
and wisely improving it. Ten thousand
songstcrs are filling the branches with their
anirnating strains of rnusic and gratitude, and
teaching us to. t-njoy,.a‘s they do, Ehe count-
less blessings and bouiities of nature; their
music is never liiiling—-nor do we see it end-
ing in discords. Let. us all, as we jotirncy
onward together through the year, learn to
tune our hearts as they do their voices, and
pass the fleeting pt-riod in liarm.iny,_and in
th.it cl.cerfulnt-ss which the excellent Addi-
son has honor: d with the name of-.i continu-
al expression of gratitude to Heavt-rt. In
Germany the study and practice ofjmusic
are ,qencr-.tl- among the people. Bi-sides oth-

Liktf Hercules, ho conquers the hydra oi the

more during than Hercules, he extends his
dorn_inio_n‘,not only 0Vt'i"l:l1t3' land, but over
the sea; he is the best sailor in the world,
tlieocean is his tributary, and enriches him
with the oil of her whales and her lt-sser

bors; he knows no Qfnpllnle that is able to
seduce, no Dejanira, tvhosc poisoned gifts
can balk his st-arching glmce. In this re-
spect he is rzitlier a Ulysses, who has his
Periclope,_counts upon her faith, and remains
stt-adfastly true to her. He does not even
need to stop his ears, whcn he passes ncar
the Syrt-ns, for in him the tcnelercst p ssions
are deadcized by religious austerity and de-
votion to his business. Like Ulysses in an-
other point, he has a bag full of shifts; over-‘
taken at night by a storm in the woods. in a
half hour, with "no other resource than his
knife, he will have made a shelter for him-

in one‘ of those snow storms, which are un-
known among us, he will c_.,oristruct a sled in

way, like an Indian. by watchingithe bark
of the trees. Thus to the genius ofbusincss.
by means of which l.ctut‘nst_o profit whatev-
er the earth yirlds him, he joins the genius
of i_ndti_stry, tvhich makes her prolilic, and
that ofnicchatiical‘ skill, which fashions her
produce to his wants. He is inmmparable
as a pioneer, uncqualledas a settler of the

The Yankee has set his mark on the Uni-'

‘has been teclipst-d by Virginia in the coun-

eclipsed her on her own soil ;_ for in order to

we are reminded in her own emphatic lnn-‘

winfrv weather,” must ere long. as they are
nipped by the autumnal frost, be cut down by
the strong arm of death, and gathered to the
tomb of silcncc. It is the time for the mother
to visit the lonely grave of her dcpnrtcdlovc,
and weep over it the bright tear of sorrow-
for the friend, the acquaintancc,and the rela-
tive-—to think of those who have closed their
eyes forever upon the vanities of earth, and
lie sleeping among the silent dead.
At such a period the mind enters into up-
told enjoyment. There is s_\veetnc_ss even in
the deepest‘ melaricho y, which flows to the
hcart. touching every tendrii with emotions of
affectioii, sympathy and love. It is the time,
to abstract our thoughts from things perish-
ablt-‘.—to turn from the ephemeral charms of
earth, to the more sublime beauties which lie
bevorid the gra.ve--to learn from the sober
realities aroubd us‘, that our days will have
an autumn, that we cannot cxpect whilt-fhere
