they are signing their requiem over the bright
things of summer ! love the splendid drapely
Of thy forests, the thousand glorious hues in
which they are decked, though know that this
is but the lighting up of the spirit of beauty for
a moment ere its final extinction. Yes, elder
daughter of the year, | love thy scenes, and all
thy associations am sad under thy strange
influence, yet happy. | would not be gay if |
could. There Is a subdued reverence in my
affection for thee, which banshes everything
that might seem to bespeak lorgetuness that
thou art with me. o, how many times have
