INDIAN SUMMER.

FROM LosdFELLows EvANGELISE.
- Then followed that beautiful season,
Called by the pious Acadan peasants the Summer
OF All Sainls
Filled was tho air with dreamy and magic light
and the landscape
Lay ii created in oil the freshness of childhood.
Peace seemed TO reign upon carth and the restless
heart of the ocean
Was for moment consoed. All sounds were in har-
mony blended
Voices of children at play, the growing of cocks in
the farm yards,
Whir of wings in the drowsy air, and the cooling Of
pigeons,
All were subdued and low us the murmurs of love,
and the great sun
Looked with the eye OF love through the golden
pors around him; a..
While arraycd in its robes of russell and scarlet and
yellow,
Bright with the sheen Of tho dew each glittering
OF the forest .
Flashed like the plane-trec the Persian adorned with
nantes and Jewels.

For Natures bloom and light
To go amid her rural scenes,
Aud feed my yearning sight,
IpiDe TO see the woods and dells,
To tread the quiet lane,
And view the fields on either side,
Where mods the yellow grain;
To list the blythe and joyous lark
Pour forth his grateful lay,
And taste the sweet and fragrant smell
Thai comes from new-mown hay.

And watch the sireamlet's dow,
Whose depths reflect the herds and flowers
That on its margin grow,
All lovely sounds that ill the air.
All things that court the sight,
Snail shed balm upon our souls,
2 And minister delight
our heavy woes and feverish cares
No more shall gall our peace;
our hate and rancor 'gainsi the proud
And pamper,d rich shall cease
No malice there shall fill our hearts
Their chords shalt bea, TO love;
And for this fair and hallow'd day,
Wen thank our God above.

OF the United States were TO acquire Texas II would
acquire all the membranes which Texas is under,
