Morning was just -creeping up the I stream as we launched. From the rapids l to the lake the stream flows along a deep I valley, clothed, for the most part in vir- z ginal wtoreet ; . yet. sometimes we had ~ glimpses of A farm buildings, and grain elds, and orchards, and once, we drifted down an avenue of stately elms through rich pasture and meadow lands, dew- ` glistening in the sunlight, and outlined `b forest-hills, gorgeous and beautiful in the varied tintings of early autumn. But we left the pastureand meadow land scintillating and crystal robed and beauti- ful as they were, not unwilling to oat still further down. a wooded stream. Here was one of earth s nest nature-pic- turee-`-a forest of mixed trees: the tall smooth beech with its frost-curled leaves, so quick to change, yet so late to fall- the ash,chan`ging' to a dark rich maroon- the shapely white-trunked birch, harmon- ious1y"bl'euded picture of silver. green . and gold--the oak, rich-robed in burnish-` ed leaves of `green and. yellow andbrown, jand aming autumn,,~,,red-the, rugged .eternal- -the`? queehly Oahadian maple- gour `own-dear maple+--exulting at once in `all the choicest Ttintings of a summer and. perial pine-"-alle-all we re"thei-e.

' I 11 Rowing up what appeared to be half streamj half river, the moonlight slanting fromdistant hilltops and seelnn openings in the forest, gave but faint g 'mpses of our surroundings; suggestions, rather than revelations of beauty; yet not always, so far as we turned our. course northward the "receding water seemed to run out,'and glare, ancl merge, and loose itself, in moonlight; or the stream rever- singseemed to ow as "from a silver ocean gemmed and wreathed in ' light-- avenued and canopied by the interlacing branches of `the trees. ` llIllItll\/I 3|-VIII! To tell us then to love the violet, the daisy or the lily; the hollyhock `or the 1 peony or the suno`wer--_or_ any ower-- ` to teach us of their loveliness, to empha- size their beauties--to articially restrain or direct'--to narrow and specialize-to cultivate a fashion in owers is all idle, and all wrong._ To nature s true lover, not any one ower, or tree, or scene, but all nature is as indescribably, as it is im- mutably beautiful--all God s works speak in the love language and echoes of wedded sympathies,- and the stranger should not inter-meddle with them. The man who waited his waking for the sound of Oscar s voice, is still sleeping-a waiting only for that voice, he will kn i no waking. The echo of an echo never satised, never will satisfy, an immortal soul. It is the greatest pit that a genuine love of nature, shou d appear to become vulgariz- ed,_ through the vapid iteration of an obtrusive aestheticism.` I have often seen spay andblushing maiden lingering be- hin a wide-spreading and shield-like sunower; and I have felt no kindling love for maiden, or--or sunower.

I The love `of nature, which is a love of beauty, may develop, unfold, and deepen with cult'ure-it` maybe quickened and intensied, but never originated through external causes, fortuitous-_ circumstances, or human"-agencies. It is not earth-born at all--it germinates in the heart, and grows and glows in the soul : the dews of heaven wash, and water, and nourish it : it is not born even of the thing loved, but lives and waits for, and goes out to it; a lingering recollection of Eden ;' a shadowy, yet faith-lighted, and never-fading pre- vision of an Eden, fairer, lovelier and happier still.
