" When a man has learnt to take an interest in the varied opera- 

 tions of Nature which are everyivhere bei?ig carried on about Jiim, a?id 

 has acquired the habit of directing his attention to such matters, and 

 keeping his senses always alive to any new information thereby afforded 

 him, he has made himself almost independent of outward circumstances. 

 He has opened to himself a source of occupation and mental enjoyment 

 but little affected by the ordinary vicissitudes of life."

" What could be the vision of the Saturday stroller 1 Perhaps it 

 might be the old Common, where, amongst furze bushes and mud 

 puddles, and tall bracken and swamp, he could find, year in and year 

 out, always somethim^- new ; when the time passed so swiftly away that 

 he could chide the dusky evening for coming on so speedily, and %vhen 

 enough had been found, or seen, to send him home ivith something to 

 think abo2it all the week ; when the o?ily feeling that could find a place 

 in his breast was that of increased love for all created things, and ivhen 

 the only exclamation that could escape his lips was — ^ Hoiv 7nanifold 

 are Thy 7V0rks, in wisdom hast Thou made them all.' "
