Fall Of the Leaf.

The season Of the fall Of the leaf
has come again, with all its sad and
salutary teachings. Who can shut
his heart against its lessons? Who,
as he sees the frost withered leaf
driven by the fitfuI winds, is not re-
minded that such is human life2
Even as leaf when the frost has
dried up its sap, and its stem clings
no more to the parent tree, SO is our
life. 1t may be green to-day and float
gayly upon the summer breeze, but
the frosts of death are gnewing at its
stem. and we know not if it shall
wave there tomorrow, or be driven
away by the wintry blasts to eternity.
Happy are we, if Nature breaches not
to us in vain, in this her solemn day.

What is poetry? A smile, a tear,
a longing after the things of Eternity.
IL lives in all created existences--in
man and every object that surrounds
him. There is poetry in the gentle
influences of love and affection, in
the quiet broodings of the soul over
the memories of early years, and in
the thoughts of glory that chain our
spirits to the gates of Paradise. There
is poetry in the harmonies of nature.
1t gitters in the wave, the rainbow,
the lightning, and the STARTS ca
dence is beard in the thunder and in
the cataract-the softer tones gurgle
sweetly from the thousand voice harp
of wind, and riyulet, and forest-the
clouds and sky go floating over us to
the music Of me!adies-and its minis
tiers to Heaven frol1 The mountains of
the earth, the untlodden shrines of
the ocean.
There's not moonlight ray comes
down upon stream or hill; not a
breeze calling from its blue air throne
to the birds Of the summer valleys, or
sounding through midnight rains its
low and mourning dirge over the per-
ishing flowers of Spring; not a cloud
bathing itself like an angel vision in
the rosy gushes of the autumn twi-
light, nor a rock glowing in the yellow
starlight, as if dreaming of the Eden
land, but is full Of the beautiful infiu :
ences Of poetry. Earth and Heaven
are quickened by its spirit, and the
heayings of the great deep in tempest
and in calm are but its secret and mys-
terious breathings.
