AN ENGLISH LANDSCAPE

AN ENGLISH LANDSCAPE.
The ordinary constituents of an English
land scaPe may De summed up in few
words. A gently undulating and smooth
surface is divided into small fields BY
Indigenous, at this season clothed in
yerdure, and blooming with flowers. For
est trees of moderate size, sometimes in
copses, but more frequently apart, like an
orchard. Extensive tracts, waving with
yellow harvests, and studded in this way
with emerald, present a succession Of
pretty views. A winding stream, rus
tic bridge, village with its tapering
spire, focks and herds grazing in the pas
lures, sometimes vary the landscape but
in the general features of the country,
there is great uniformity, aHording no.
thing Of that variety and wiIdness of
rocks, woods, and waters, ntermingled
with cultivated grounds, every where to
be met with in the United States.

COLOUR oF CLOTHS OF THE ROMANS.

tOLOUH VI ClOI klS OF HE HUMANS.
The common colour of cloths was white. TWAS
also the most honorable, independent of the dig
mites which where denoted by the purple. When
the ladies began to wear various colours. they
chose those which they thought became them best.
1t was precept given them by Ovid:
"Try every one, what best becomes you wear,
For no complexion Ill alike can bear;
If fair the skin, black may become it best,
In black the lovely fair Briseis dressed.
If brown the nymph, let her be clothd in white,
Andromeda so charm'd the wond'ring sight"
The same poet, 50 far from reducing the whole
at Of dying to the colour Of purple, speaks Of
blue, which resembles the sky when it is uncloud-
ed /, of sea-green, which he believes to be the
dress Of the nymphs ofthe colour which tinctures
the apparel Of Aurora Of that which initiates the
myrtle of Paphos and, in short. Of many Others as
numerous, he says, as the flowers Of the spring.
Philosophy may enable us to talk
# fortitude, but religion alone empowers to ex-
rrcise it.
