an SUMMER, Visrroxs.--The portents of
day more
extraordi-
nary number of visitors to the Highlands during the
summer and autumn months, become every
apparent. The arrivals succeed each other in almost
unprecedented rapidity. Patrician vehicles pass through
the town to the sweet retreats afforded by strath and
glen to the toil-worn man of business, or to those weary
of the giddy sameness of the routs and fetes of town life,
while the public coaches daily bring their quota. Our
moors and streams, we are happy to say, promise abun-
dant sport to all who may be bent on its enjoyment.—
Inverness Journal.
We all know upon how minute causes the temper
and disposition of an individual may depend. A blight
in the air, the east wind, rain, hunger, bad news, morti-
fications, the loss of fortune, or of those we love: these
render us morose and sad, or fit for treasons, stratagems,
and spoils. On the other hand, a genial climate, the
advance of the spring, gratified love or successful am-
bition ; above all, health. These render us jocund,
happy, and complying, probably virtuous and pious ; in
short, fit for good works.
