A SUBSCRIBER.
SPECTACLE OF A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IN THE
DESERTS OF THE NEW WORLD.
An hour after sun set the moon appear
ed above the trees in tie opposite hori-
zen. A balmy breeze which she brought
with her from the east, seemed TO go be-
fore, as her refreshing breath in the forest.
The queen Of night ascends gradually in
the Heavens now she follows silently
her azure course, now reposes on piles OF
clouds, resembling the SUBMITS OF lofty
mountains crowned with snow. These
gradually unfurling themselves were spread
into zone. OF satin whiteness land dispersed
into thin ioamy hocks, or formed in the
Heavens resplendent banks, so pleasant
10 the eye, as almost to induce a persua-
sion that one could feel their softness and
elasticity
On earth the scene was not less ravish-
ing the sof, and silver light Of the moon
descended among the foliage, and project
ed streams of light into the profoundest
shades. The river, which flowed at my
feet, by turns lost itself in the woods, and
by turns re appeared-all brilliant with
the constellation, Of night, which were
multiplied upon its undulating bosom. In
a vastly extended prairie on the other side
vi tue TlNcI, NC tSht va tuS INV" S'SP'
motionless upon the green. Birch trees
scattered here and there through the marsh,
and agitated by the breeze formed Islands
and shadows, floating on motionless sea
plight. Around me all was silence and
repose, save the dropping of the leaves the
brisk transi, OF sudden flaws of wind, and
the occasional hooting ofthe bird Of night /;
but afar off was heard the rolling solemn
sound Of the Cataract Of Niagara which
in the stiffness Of night rescrherated from
desert to desert, until it ultimately expired
in the distant solitary wild.
The grandeur and stupendous solemnity
OF this scene, are altogether inxpressible.
The most beautiful nights in Europe can
convey no adequate idea of them. In vain,
in cur cultivated fields, does Imagination
seek to expand itself-it encounters on e.
very side the habitations of msn-but in
the country of deserts, the mind delights
20 plunge into an ocean of forests, to wan
der on the borders of boundless lakes, to
hover over the CULTS OF cataracts, and if it
may be uttered, 10 stand alone in the pre-
sence OF the Deity.
