the rustling leaves and converts the
wheat field into a waving sea of green
the merry singing, chirpiDg and thrilling
of the birds as they Keep watch over
Their. little homes; and the shrubs and
t,!auts, bursting into fragrant bloom,
make Us cry, "What beautiful and
happy world is this!" All day long we
could drink in the beauties of this
"chart of God, ;" and listen to the lessons
of this best and most interesting teach
er, but our duties must be attended to,
and if leisure moments are found, then
we may let our heart and soul have
their feast. Laying all thoughts of
things beautiful aside, we must hasten
to give the HERALD an account of the
past weeks happenings.

hens eggs, peas and straw berries, too,
but our berries limped far behind the
EDITORS in size. BARBARA.
