Ue e n identify what he s tea too closely with binase'f and
his own emotions ; he can confound wh it he gives and
vhat he receives. The vaporous acre ks, or white
unrelated towers of cloud'enet ; the ripi)lieg of green
wives 03 the shingle; the sof,, refreshing r ishiig of lenge
aw tit( d rain ; the morning aseect d the a i eer hilts,
white and mo•icetless, when the moor, paler than her
woe, shrinks wes'ward with the ero eding sttis, en 1 soft

sights wi as the e, or the soon lof the id eta tn,e fell tge,
ohs riming oe stream., or the mattering of distant storm,
speak through the selves to the emotions : they rouse
memety and lnpe, j y and sidne,s, but not though'. If
we think at a'l, i i. of their inn ience on ourselves; they
raise our hearts upward., but do no' expitel our minds;
they mty cause us to 'mingle oar own evs'enee wi'h that
around us, hat they ',ever carry us out of oursehr e; we
Mity be self-diffuted, but are never self-los% Not so when
we come to cootemdlate life, even in its meanest forms I
we n 4 easily confuse ourBelvas with th's; it is a me-
thing which [naves on another axis. When in our
solitary mu rings we see a weas::l creep out of a heap of
stews, we forget our own troubles, and ask on-selves
where he is going, what he is ab eat, what cares his may
be, and bow he provides for his famil s ; we long to comma
with him like X ihnn with the Kardoton. The chattering
of an alarmed squirrel or the p'unge of a water-rat is a r
a v,:reip recipe.to some happili-canstittited minds against
aulaacholy. Soon I.s are more capable than sights of
being drawn in as ministers to our own reigning sentiments
