Wo look around us, and on every hand we behold the beauties of Nature. How exceedingly refreshing everything looks. The trees, flowers, shrubs and plants, each arrayed in its own peculiar coloring, make up a variety pleasing to the eye. How wonderful! each specie of plant is distinct, ever producing the same kind. The fruit that grpws, how beautiful to tho eye and pleasing and delicious to the taste. The perfume of the lovely flowers enhance their charms, and with tho singing of the birds tells us that 'Spring is here,'7 the happiest time of all the year; perhaps this is partly owing to the contrast with tho leafless months that we have just passed through. When spring comes arrayed ia beauty we love her cheering inflaence; not only human beings, but every living creature rejoices in the warmth of the sun's bright rays. Man cannot make anything to compare with the handiwork of Nature, for the One who created the world created man, and our knowledge is still finite, and 'It is He, our Father in Heaven, wo should ever thank for every good thing we enjoy for tho beauties of Nature, and for sight to see the loveliness thereof, and hearing, to hea the music of Nature's voices.
