After a long cold winter, we joyfully welcome the approach of summer; but, when scorched a few months with its heat, and ready to faint, the return of winter is not so unpleasant to us as it appeared more early in the spring. But whatever effect these successions may have upon us, it is certain they are very beneficial. The light of the day is advantageous for managing the toils and business of life; and the coolness and stilness of the night are as suitable for rest and sleep. The summer's heat is necessary for ripening the fruits of the earth, and hastening the harvest: but the winter's cold and boary frost are subservient to prepare the earth for the seed, and render it fertile. This dreary season is serviceable both to man and beast;-it gives a new spring and vigour to Nature.

Glorious Author of the year,

Teach us at thy shrine to bow!
As thy varying months appear,

Let our lips renew the vow!
When the dove-eyed SPRING looks out

From her infant nest of flowers,
On the green fresh woods about

Sparkling in the sunny showers-
When, as up the blue profound

SUMMER climbs her noonday height,
Not the breathing of a sound

Wanders through the depth of light-
When o'er harvest-waving hill,

And on gaily-blossomed heath,
AUTUMN glows--or, beauteous still,

Wears the golden veil of death
When, like some unspotted corse

Shrouded in its virgin white,
Nature yields to Winter's force,

Only to revive more bright-
Glorious Author of the year,

Teach us at thy shrine to bow !
As thy varying months appear,

Let our lips renew the vow! REY, F. HODGSON.

Dd

All the succession of Time, all the changes in Nature, all the varieties of light and darkness, the thousand thousands of accidents in the world, and every contingency to every man, and to every creature, doth preach our funeral sermon, and calls us to see how the OLD SEXTON TIME throws up the earth, and digs a grave, where we must lay our sins or our sorrows, and sow our bodies till they rise again in a fair or in an intolerable eternity. Every revolution which the sun makes about the world, divides between life and death; and death possesses both those portions by the next morrow; and we are dead to all those months which we have already lived, and we shall never live them over again.--JEREMY TAYLCR.
