Dearburn Letter.

Mr.. EDITOR: Since my last
letter we have had q good rain.
Everyone feels refreshed by it.
Some of the farmers were begin
ming to look "very blue" We do
not all trust to God enough; he
knows what is best. Among the
great blessings and wonders of
the creation may be classed the
reguIaritIes of time and seasons.
Immediately after the flood the
sacred promise was made to man.
that seed time and harvest, cold
and heat, summer and winter,
day and night, should continue to
the very end of all things. Ac-
cordingly, in obedience to that
promise, the rotation is constant
ly presenting us with some use
ful and agreeable alteration aud
all the pleasing novelty of life
arises from these naural changes ::
nor are we less indebted to them
for many of its solid comforts. 1t
has been the task of the moralist
and poet to mark, in polished
periods, the particlar charms and
conveniences of every change
and indeed such discriminate ob.
servations upon natural variety,
can not be undelightful; since
the blessing which every month
brings along with it, is fresh in
stance of the wisdom and bounty
of Providence, which regulates
the glory of the year. We glow
as we contemplate; we feel
propensity to adore, whilst we en-
joy. In the time ofsseed sowing
it is the season ofcontidence the
grain which the husbandmen
trust to the bosom of the earth
shall haply yield its seven fold
reward. Spring presents us with
a scene of lively expectation.
That which was before sown,
begins now to discover signs of
successful vegetation. The labor
observes the change, and antici-
pates the harvest; he watches
the progress of nature and smiles
at her Influence; while the man
of contemplation walks forth with
the evening amidst the fragrance
of flowers and promises of plenty :;
nor return to his peaceful and
happy cottage till dark ness closes
the scene upon his eyes; then
cometh the harvest, when the
large wish is satisfied, and the
granaries Of nature are loaded
with the means of life even to
luxury Of abundance. The pow
ers of language are unequal to
