Let us see. Nature is very beautiful just now;
at morning, noon and eve she invites to fellow-
hip, and points to God. She semis out from
her rolling spheres a voice of praise, and from
her birds, and buds, and babbling brooks, a
voice of thanksgiving. Nature is holy, and,
therefore, I love her. She is illustrative of the
power and wisdom, and beneficence of the Cre
•tor, and therefore, I reverence her.

For the first time since the commencement

one can doubt; hut that the signs ot the tjmes
are ominous of so much evil as many ot the
more despondent seem to surmise, we cannot
and do not desire to believe for one moment—
It is very true that we have suffered much, and
will perhaps suffer a great'deal more, but we
have not yet suffered anything near to the ex
tent of our ability—we have not been called
upon to pass through the fierce and flerv orde
al that our ancestors endured foi the cause of
liberty. YY'e have spent a great deal of money
and wasted a great deal of property upon our
borders, but these are small matters compared
with the actual bodily suffering of our revolu
tionary fathers, against a foreign yoke.
There are causes for our reverses, and the
consequent gloom that now hang- over the
land; and while there may be others of a pa
tent character, the mu' a! cause inis much to do
with our present condition." Before our re

Providence was with us—since they have come
