AUTUMN

One who breaks off in Summer,
and returns in Autumn to the
hills. need almost to come to a
new acquaintance with the most
familiar things. 1t is another
world; or it is the old world
a-masquerading; and halt, like one
scrutinizing disguised friend;
between the obvious dis. emblance
and the subtle likeness.
Southwark of our front door
there stood two elms. leaning their
branches toward each other,
forming a glorious arch of green.
Now, in faint yellow, they grow
attenuated and seem as if de-
parting; they are losing their
leaves and fading out of sight, as
trees do in twilight. Yonder, over
against that young growth of birch
and evergreen, stood, all Summer
long, a perfect maple tree,
roun ded out on every side, thick
with luxuriant foliage, and dark
with greenness, save when the
morning sun, streaming through
it, sent transparency to it's very
heart. Now it is a tower of
gorgeous red. So sober and
solemn did it seem all Summer,
that / sh build think as soon to see a
propeht dancing at a peasants
holiday as it TRANSPORTED to such
intense gayety! Its fellows, too,
the birches and the walnuts, barn
from head to foot with fires that
glow but never consume.
But these holiday hills! Have
the evening clouds, suffused with
sunset. dropping down and become
fixed into solid forms? Have the
ranibows that followed Autumn
storms faded upon the mountains
and left their nantes there?
Yet, with all their brillancy, how
modest do they seem; how patient
when bare, or burdened with
Winter; how cheerful when flushed
with Summer green; and how
modest when they lift up their
wreathed and crowded heads in
the respondent days of Autumn!
Such days fill one with pleasant
sadness. How sweet peasure is
there in sadness! 1t is not sorrow ;
it is not despondency; it is not
gloom! tits one of the methods of
JOY. At any rate l am very happy,
and yet it is sober, and very sad
happiness. 1t is the shadow of Joy
upon the soil! can reason about
these changes. l can cover over
the dying leaves with imaginations
as bright as their own hu. 8; and,
Dy Christian faith, transfgures the
whole scene with a blessed vision of
joyous dying and glorious resurrec-
ton. But what then? Such
thought glow like evening clouds,
and not far beneath them are the
evening twilights, into whose dusk
they will soon melt away. And all
communions, and all admirations,
and all associations, will, celestial
or terrene, come alike into pen
sive sadness, that is even sweeter
than our joy. It is the minor key
OF the thoughts.-Henry Ward
