The editor ofthe Albany Register, in expatia-
ling upon the beauties of seeing the sunrise in
the country, writes of {. Western Massachu:
Sc IS" SUNRISE as folows:-
At Lenox, among the mountains of the Old
Bay State, we saw the sunrise again, Lenox
is sweet spot. surrounded by an amphtheater
of hills. Beautiful farms are spread out all
around the town. Beautiful roads, lined on
either side by the sugar maple; beautiful
streams; and beautiful lakes are within range of
morning walk, or an evening drive. 1t has
pleasant fields aud shady groves in sight, and
deep ravines where the grass grows 10 the edge
of the soft toned brooklet, as il sings family
over the smooth pebbles, and the deep shadows
Of the arching trees cool the heat Of noon. We
rose while ihs twilight yet hovered over the
fields and town. We saw TIE thin mist rising
from the meadows, and creeping up the hills,
hiding their shadowy, verdure and making them
look like the fair face ofa maiden shining dim
ly in is beauty through veil Of gauze. We
| heard the wild matn songs as they broke in
their gladness from the stiffness Of night, and
watched the swallows as they started from the
barns and chimneys on their urrowy flight,
We heard the first note Of the meadow-lafk, as
he fled from his night perch, and the last song
OF the whipporwi as he folded his wings to rest
for the day. We sat for half an hour on a ven.
cradle boulder that overlookeda a meadow, On
our right al few rods distace, was half;
oil III hrup of, cot
brown thrush, singing his morniIg song, ard
sway ing gracefully in the breeze while he sang.
On our LEFT was thorn bush among the thick
branches of which the cat bird Knocked he brown
thrush, While over against US. perched upon a
fence stake was a quail whistling in his clear
and silvery notes 10 his mate, as she brooded in
her fondness over her treasured nest.
Twas pleasant thing TO watch the departure
Of the night shadows to hear the voices of the
morning breaking ino harmony, and look up
Oh the sun he came up from behind the East
ern hills. Itseemed to US, thatthe gladness grew
in intensity, and that new song burst forth Sshs
, came into view The brown thrush Sang with
clearer voice. and the cat.bird in his thron
bush Knocked with fresh viSor, while the bob-c-
link, dar,ed up from the meadow grass with
, freer bound. and while he shook the dew drops
from his wing, and balanced himself gracefully
in the air, sang with proloneedlay, anda glad
der energy.
San-ri,e in the country; is glorious sight, a
vision infinitely more pleasant than those which
visit the pillows Of the sluggard white indulging
in his morning sleep, Go ont into the country
among the mountains or among the fields.
