Leaving il uow for you, dear Herald, TO
form your own opinions as 70 The relative
onuortness of the d,Tcrvm views Of she
world as expressed by tn written expert
ebccs' of the Post and the Hermit, viii
only add as suggestion, that while the
Post nigh, find is account IN at least a.
.ttdiing the humility and the unaffected
modosiy Of the Hermit. on the other
hand, may find 1t Strengthening TO has
confidence. TO read, faithfully. and with all
seriousness, the Brandon Post.
Bot entertain 10 fear for the Hermit ;
and despite his quaint ways and hiss ig-
norapcc of the world | have bu, little doubt
Of has ultimate success ~ II. As he says,
he knows the worth Of his possessions and
the value Of his principles and know
that no one will get from him his old 'bia,k
charger IN oNchangc for poodle, nor will
they Win from him his principles by a tap
on the shoulder or sn invitation to scat
At any mans table. Another element Of
success possessed by the Hermit may be
found 10 the iruihiulness Of his disposition
and the entire truslialncss Of hrs character
III, iriA nerer d,ocirt friend or d,sct his
party, and it is tins devotion 10 his old
friends whom he has lcil behind him. and
the thoughts Of other days which men,
ny brings before him, that occasions the
dependency so manifest IN the extracts Of
his letter above gwen. In his inconsistencies
and IN the recollection Of the Hermitage ps
be .eft 1t, he fofgets that IN the happy val
ley, where, in the grey Of dawn we used 10
greet the fiery sun Of summer, the chilling
blasts Of winter now sing the dirge ofthose
A'aiT! usge' ss.--e -i'fspt sa,'I. -.t'''s''
we 50 often repaired in the autumn after
noons to enjoy our pipes and a stroll, and
to quaf from the spring by the rock, is now
deserted by the cheerful wafblcrs that used
80 TO enlIven 1t, and Invested Of ITS gor-
gcous carpe, and that It's cosy hooks and
ltttlc arbors are now filled with fancy snow
beds. aud their rccesses fitted up with fan
tastic e-wreaths for the reception Of Jack
Frost and his wild party he forgets and
50 does Dorcas) tha, those noble passes IN
the mountain, through which the mellow
son used 10 send back lis last quiverinc
light OF departing day, are now but the
scenes Of the torn-king's widest fury,
and the noisy, joyful. bnbbling brook so
much beloved land almost worshiped by
all at the hermitage, and which, dancing in
the summer suns 50 mcrrily sings as it
winds Us way through the lawn, and around
our dwellings, and then SO quietly steals
away into the valley below the Hermit
seems To forget, too, that lis music has ceas-
ed, that this NOISY summer prattler is now
ast-bound in the icy chains of winter, and
that las | now see II from my window il
lays beneath the snow, and the moons cold
rays, as quic, and as passive as is the sleep
Of innocence, or ofniancy.
Bot llcavcnb bless the Hermit and wher-
ever he may wander, may he nerer forget
that tho all about and around us is cold and
cherries, our roof-trces yet stand; that
bright and cheerful fires still light our
hearth stones and that among us not an
eye has los, Us Gre, not a check is healthy
hue, nor a heart an homes, impulse since
his departure. And let him remember too.
thai ~ha, ever may be,ide him, he will cv-
~ find al the hermitage warm and anN ious
hearts, ready 10 receive him and should he
ever desire TO come again among US. le,
him rect assured tina; he will receive such
welcome as is never given to small poliu-
cal tnoksiers, deser,ers, or 10 the toadiss'
