360 THE CANADIAN NATURALIST. 



unexpected facts, hidden from the unobservant,, are continu- 

 ally disclosed to him who walks through the world with an 

 open eye. We may possibly undertake another course of 

 investigations similar to the one just concluded ; new beau- 

 ties will present themselves to our admiring gaze ; no season 

 is so barren but that it possesses charms, either inherent or 

 associated, peculiar to itself; and every clime affords ample 

 opportunities for the prosecution of these studies. " Day 

 unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth 

 knowledge : there is no speech nor language, where their 

 voice is not heard." These, too, " declare the glory of GOD," 

 and these " shew forth His handy-work." This fact cannot 

 be too strongly impressed : it should never be forgotten that 

 we must not rest in the creature, but be led up to the 

 Creator ; and not only perceive His hand, but fear Him, 

 trust in Him, and love Him.
