THE TEACHINGS OF NATURE.
90 No harsh transitions Nature knows,
No dreary spaces intervene,
Her work in silence forward goes,
And rather felt than seen"
WHEN the soul is dark and dreary-
when the sunlight of Hope is all obscured
by the dark clouds Of disappointment, and
her attempts to become nober, purer, bet
ter, seem to have failed, then let her come
to Nature the all bountiful Teacher, and
learn lesson; let her drink at this foun-
tain of knowledge, and then refreshed and
strengthened, grid herself for new exer,
lions and new trials.
Let her go forth in the dead of winter
and view The ice-bound earth, wrapped in
her shroud Of snow. All life and warmth
seem TO have fled; the trees stretch out
their skeleton limbs. bare and dreary, and
the streams are held fast by an icy hand;
but let not the Responding soul turn away
