"There is nothing more beautiful
than water. Look at it when you will
in any of its thousand forms-in motion
or at rest-drippipg from the moss Of
a spring, or lcaping in the thunder of
eataract-it has always the wonderful.
unsurpassing beauty. It's clear trans
parency, the grace of its foam, and its
majestic march in the food, are match
ed unitcdly by no other element. Who
has not blessed it unaware p IF objects
that meet the eye have any affect upon
our happiness, water is among the first
OF human blessings. 1t is the gladdest
thing under heaven. The inspired
writer's use it constantly as an image
for gladness, and crystal waters is the
beautiful type Of the Apocalypse for the
Joy Of the New Jerusalem. | bless God
Tor It's daily usefulness; but, because it
is an every day blessing, its splondor is
unnoticed Take a child to it, and he
claps his hands with delight; and pre-
sent it to any one in new form. and
his senses are bewildered. The man OF
warm Imagination, who looks for the
first time on Niagara, feels an impulse
to leap in, which is almost irresistible.
What is it but pcrilous fascination
the same spell which, in the loneliness
OF woman, or the glory of sunset
cloud, draws you to the one, and makes
you long for the golden wings of the
other"
