HeA~This season is pronounced by persons
Of fervid imagination and poetic fancy to
be the season of beauty of splendid and oaudy
imagery of gorgeous and sublime scenery :.
the season which inspires the heart with all
the tender emotions and love-sick sentimen-
allties which were ever conceived bv bard or
artist, when the truth is, it is nothing else
Than the ragged and filthy end of winter or
'ne muddy, dirty yestibule of summer Strange
'aal the immortal heroes Of SOM, and the ar
uSt who gives the delicate and life-like touches
" the insenSate canvas, should aim to cele-
oFate and immortalise the beauties of this
seaSon.when the fact is the act only makes us
NOuot their Judgment. "Spring'' is generally
supposed TO consist Of the months of March,
"pHI, and May, and if there is anything en-
''enlng or inspiring in mud and rain every
O'aer day, then we are of opinion that the one
thousand and one writer's who have entirely
'Auansted their stock of sentimental phrases
~ oeautifying adjectives in their description
"pring," are about right
