Rnin and mud havo been very plcn-
tiful, but Mt last have given place to
sunshine and flowers, and spring has
once more dawned upon us. Groves
and meadows are Mt any season Of tho
year pleasant to look upon, but never
80 much as in the opening of the
spring, when they are all new and
fresh, with their first glow upon
them. and not yet too familiar and too
much accustomed to tho eye. Were
all tho interesting diversities Of color
and form to disappear, how unsightly,
dull and wearisome, would be the as
pect of the world. The pleasures con-
veyed to us, by the endless varieties
with which these sources of beauty are
presented to the eye, are 30 much
things, of course, and exist go much
without intermission, that we scarcely
think of their nature, their number, or
the great proportion which they con-
stitute In our enjoyment. But were an
inhabitant of this country to be re-
moved from it's delightful scenery to
the midst Of an Arabian desert, a waste
spread with uniform desolation, en-,
1iyenAa By the the Inurmur OF no stream,
and cheered by the beauty B no YER:
dure, although he might live In pal
ace and riot in splendor and luxury, no

some, melancholy, round of existence,
and amid all his Qualifications, would
sigh for the rivers, hills, and valleys,
Of his native land and the ever living
iustre of spring.
