lonely branches, mourn the loss cf their com.
panions. The chequered landscape ha. nut on
the gnro OF the mourner. The smoke and
maze OF the Indian summer screens the disso
luton of natures beauties from the obsery;n,,

she expires Add to this solemnity III. sod
1eeiings inspired by the Wholesale ruin of the.
devouring fires West and North, and the moor

nave come and gOne-thousands of cities have
been destrOysd-nation after nation has roach

INTO RUNS. Nature deposits IN everything the
elements of ite own destruction Even proud
and god-ike man must perish and decay. This
earth Is not our home. Beyond the river is the
Eden, whence our hopes centre There there
is nothing to annoy. The bloom of flowers is
eternal-Spring time has no end-ioy is unal-
loyed and everlasting. Hope is forever buoy-
ant. Happiness is one continual fruitfon =
hlther let US press forward to the goal of our
supreme desires and ultimate rewards This
Autumnal decay shall be succeeded by another
Spring, when the germ of new flowers shall no
awakened by genial suns into q new life and
SO when all that is seEtient shall mouldcr into
decay, another sun shall burst the lev cere.
ments OF death. and the mortal shall put on
immortality and bask in the sunshine of Eter-
nal Spring.
