The Fall of the Leaf-solitude in
primeyal forest, on a calm, sunny day sue
eeeding frosty morning-it is then and there,
il ever that the soul Of man, released from
the cares of life-the thraldom of business
the tolls Of ambition--the daily anxieties for
our own or others well beng--when thought
becomes revery, and knowledge intuition-
the SOU thus released is quiescenty resigned
to minge with the great spirit Of the uni
verse, and to be lost in the infnitude Of being.
The past and the future are annihilaied, the
present unielt and soh dream of existence
takes place ofthe joys and sorrows, the hopes
and fears Of life that has been, that is, aud
that Is to come In such frame, Joy is felt
to be an intruder and love perturbation,
aud oil desires cease, but conscious willing
ness to sink into the decay of Nature, aud
there find eternal repose. The selfannihila-
ton Of such a moment may not be taught in
church creeds, but in Il is found the highest
and holiest experience Of soul on earth.
