Every one must be concious at this
season, OF the stirring of some more
powerful principle within him than
mere animallitc. The spiritual nature
is quickened, and there is longing
aftersomething higher and better than
earth can give. The stiffness that
reigns every where the sober hucs of
the landscape. the falling leaves,
and the bare fields, are powerful aids
TO reflection, and the mind, released
from the pressing cares of Summer,
now falls into genial muslng. This
Is one reason, probably, why these days
are SO enjoyable. FacuaIties that with
muiutudes are partially suspended un-
DER the pressure OF business, are now
called into the highest activity.
These indian summer days are too
beautiful to come all together, or to

Tar north, ana follow the retiring sum
