every direction with our eager feet. en-
loving to the full the music of their
rustic:
But the echo of that rustic now has
Il Us another and Sadder sound. In
childhood only the brightness of the
scene was observed. The leaf only pre-
sented its immediate beauty and pleas
ure But now experience has taught
us that there is more than this. That
the brilliant color of the leaf is the
prophesy Of the chilling frosts when
the bright hues must give way to the
dull brown 1t withers and falls to the
ground Does not this suggest the uni
versal thought among people, OF the
ending of all the worlds life? Does it
not always remind us of the saying of
the prophet, An do fade as the leaf"
Ii is this suggestion of the death of all
nature that throngs the human heart
with feelings OF sadness, SO well ex-
pressed by the poet, Hood;
The autumn is old,
The sere leaves are flying:
lie hath gathered up gold,
And now he is dying

are shortening.

Now seem SO far away
Tn ling year grows mute,
The -ong-brds all have flown.
