Mansfield 1IOuutain,

, Ncrmontcrs may well regard thcir nativ
Hills with admiration. Though they ar
crcr green, yet are they changing ever in thei
aspect as the seasons roll.
At no time do we gaze upon them with more
cxultation, than in mid winter. That is thc
season Of Niumph. Then they wear thci
= cryStat crowns, which sparkle in the silvc1
rays Of the morning, and glow with COLDER
radiance, when the retiring King casts hi
evening salutation They rise IN grandcui
before us as we gaze upon them i'll the still
ness Of Il clear winter night. How lofty
how stablc-how calm They seem to speak
of their Author. Who that is permitted t,
look out upon our scenery gan refrain from
Offering thanks to God, for our Mountains
How 81 ignificant the expression Of the Monarch
of oW Mhs. MS face is orcr UpwdrdS. Who,
that can, at morning and evening, bchGld
that motionlcss mountain form, will not learn
to look with him intcnty up towards heaven
W ho, that secs the purple rays reelected ir' II,
his brow, whether in the morning or at the
evening hour, will not pray that upon them
may iall the light of Gods countcnancl, 50
that they aloo may reflect his glory And
when the clouds cover that head, and the
storms beat upon it, who that secs it at length
emerge serene and as it were in purcr sky.
who will not learn to be stcadtast and calm
when the clouds of adYcrsity lower or the
storm of passion ragrs around We do well
to love our Mountains let us learn the les
son they would teach
lcllctson, in speaking ofa scene in Virginia,
says that, though Il view Of that wonder
would well repay voyage across the Atlantic.
