times Sharpcned by travcrsnlg hundreds OF miles
without feeling the warm breath Of mother earth,
are like dgues to the nerves, for many day, in this
regon,-yet there are mingled even here with the
moods OF autumn, many OF the Warns5t beautl OF
more f rven chimes. An autumn upon lake Erie,
though not one olconstant benevolent temperament,
like one in the more favored clmes, of the more
southerly states, has nevertheless, in its very ncon
stacy, a transition and contrast of beauties and
pleasures, which makes it, 10 us n m'rc desirable
abiding place than any under which we have ever
lived.
1.-THE chill air ofthc evenings is more prevalent
Than IN other l0ngltudcs upon the same parallel OF
latitude there are, notwithstanding, nights when the
moon seems TO shed a warmth with her light, and
the very lake bree2eS seem to come loaded with
warmth like summer. Such have we saen during
the present week And even when the sharp frosty
wind from ihenorth, or the chill damp breezes from
the southwest, forbid the contcmplatlve to walk
abroad in t evening, they give new and active
buovancy to the hilarlty within doors and make the
hreSlde the focus of thousand chains.
The beauty of autumn scenery IN our country IS
upon the page Of every foreign traveller; and now,
when
Her breath hath Hinged the grove with red,
And slrewod the vale with yellow,
And every Leaf ,ecnes its head
Beside its whitening fellow;
! And Nature looking round Ter,
Rends the green robe that bound her =;
| Now when the green, the yellow, the crimson,
and the russell are struggling for supremacy IN the
| foliage of the whole Wilderness with all its cmllS,
with all It's damps, we would almost pray that au-
tumn might last for ever.
But, the AonHiy OF the God of the year, whose
chosen era Of ripe 5wards for all the coils and II
vatons OF other seasons is fixed among the FADING
but brilliant beauties ofautumn, is most worthy the
inspiration Of grateful and sympathetic heart
And in no autumn more than the present has that
bounty been so infinitely above the desert of the hu-
man family. On every side we see the smiles OF
plenty and on every hand we hear the sounds oi
loy at the goodness of that hand that has met US in
our complaints, and sienccd our ngratitude by the
fruits OF a most ample and abundant harvest.
From this wilderness OF beauty the little that man
really wants is easily gathered. With a prudent
hand and q strong guard against those artllicia
wants which constitute the misery Of our existence
the season of autumn always opens door 10 com.
petencc, through which the most needy of our race
may arrive al the summit of rational happiness
