The End of the Session.

s The End of the Session.
{, e The teeming earth, the grateful showers
the temperate winds and the glorious sun
have at last accomplished their bcnefcient
! mission, and their associated action is now
about to be suspended for season. Minis.
5 teIs of the good, kind God, they have CRATE
fully and faithfully perfected the purpose of
!, bis will and now they are slowly tending
d towards their periods of repose Faithful
members of Natures impartial legislature,
they have not betrayed their duty and left dis
cord and discomfort, besides barren heritage,
TO the children of men. 1t was only when
the laden fruit trees, and the bending grain
stalks tell down exhausted with the burden
OF their treasures, at the feet of the husband
man, that the zephyr whispered to the red
naples, and the graceful elms, that the cold
winter was coming; and that the sun ceased
to stand so long seminal in the heavens, and
sunk SO early into the arms of the golden
! West
Wherever we turn our eyes in the domain,
OF nature, we behold the flowers and leaves
those beautiful daughters of Summer, soften
ing into repose and smiling in serene lovli-
ness; and we hear the subdued voices of the
perfect birds singing their hymns of satisfied
| gladness. Autumn, with her dark brown
cheek, and russell robes, weaves crowns of
scarlet foliage to be placed as glores upon the
brow OF the maternal earth; and the man of
Nature and of toll sings songs of gratitude 10
the Giver of every good and perfect gift, and
feels his heart at peace.
Nature the beautiful, the bountiful, the pure,
! that still possesses the amplitude of her I'M
fallen perfections; that still listens to the vol
ces that echo the songs of Eden, invites the
spirit of man to share her harmony and ac-
cept her repose. In the political, as in the
natural world, the ministers of this great peo-
pie have almost accomplished their mission,
and are anxious TO retire from the Senate, and
the forum that they too may haye,their season
OF rest But it is only this length and not one
step beyond that we can carry the analogy
between the benefcient operations of Nature
and the procedure of our lawmakers. They
have seryilely betrayed the purpose of the
God of Justice, who is also the God of the
00ue''- = summer; they have ungratefully
and have left bitterness and wEEPTT15 s-.----t
the poor and oppressed; and discord and in-
dgnation where they swore to perfect liberty
and bring peace.
Whether shall these traitors go then, when
| they have left the arena of their shame; and
when combined efrontery no longer supports
man? Can they accept the invitation which
the free wind is whispering; and the glorious
forests are smiling assent to ? Can they go
forth to commune with the pure dew, and the
flowers, and the streams? They dare not
they cannot. There is no principle of SYM
pathy in pure and perfect nature with the man
who is corrupt of heart and abject in SOUL
He who has voted discord in the moral world
and who has insulted Gods majesty and ia
therhood, will be hlssed from the green mea-
dows by snakes, and frowned from the forest
by the shadows of the thunder clouds, if he
dares to desecrate them with his footsteps
under the guise of a pretended worshlpper.
There is no place for him where truth and
beauty are congregated, and where the di-
vine smile of appreciation is beaming on them.
He must keep amongst corporations OF men
under the shadows of cities, from which ma
ture is shut out, if he would dwell in his APP
pointed place. But in the domain of Nature,
The beauty of this radiant autumn; the seren-
iy of these holy nights; the whisperngs OF
these balmy airs; the silence and solemn
grandeur of the motionless trees are procre-
ant with exalted inspirations to hearts that
would be pure, and true, and free. This is
the temple of the soul, in which thousands OF
holy, dewy, fragrant witnesses corroborate the
moral revelations of God. This is the tenn
pie in which Moses, and Isaiah, and John the
Baptist sang their songs, and uttered their or
acles of truth and liberty. 1t is open for all
the true of heart, who would in the presence
Of immaculate purity, renew their covenants
with God and arm themselves for the conflicts
of that moral Winter that is now lowering
over freedom, in the United States. God, we
thank thee for Nature, for when we turn to its
beautiful economy, away from the acts and
|treasons Of men in high places; we feel and
see that Thou the Interchangeable, omnipotent
Father still livest and reignest in the highest
heavens and on the cath. LES.
