FALLING LEAVES

People of imaginative temper al
ways find melancholy reflections in
the falling OF the leaves in autumn
It carries to them suggestion OF
decay and death. and seems to- incite
one to SOLDERING thoughts of the end
of earthly life.
Yet the philosopher can reply, that
the falling of the leaf is as painless
and natural as the sinking of the
body into slumber Every bit of the
substance OF each leaf still exists just
the same. After mingling with the
earth, It again rises and enters into
the composition OF some useful plant
and lives its life over again in some
other form.
People who are less sensitive to
impressions do not find the falling OF
the leaves melancholy. They see that
the tree is stripping itself for the
conflict with winter winds and cold
a period during which it will lay in
reserves of strength, and get ready
for the growth OF another year. 1t is
the rest stage that always precedes
another period OF advance.
