ORDER IN NATURE. 279 



order, harmony and beneficence of nature. But 

 in this our discussion we are forgetting our 

 fishing. If, as I propose, we are to set out to- 

 morrow, we must be stirring early to avail 

 ourselves of the mail, which now passes nearly 

 two hours sooner than it did last month, as if 

 in accordance with the influence we have been 

 speaking of. I will see that all things shall be 

 ready we need take with us. 



PISCATOK. Here we are again at Keswick ; and 

 as there is wind and cloud, and we have the 

 day before us, we will try the lake. The old 

 fisherman says we may have a chance of killing 

 a trout or two, and that to a zealous angler is 

 sufficient encouragement. 



AMICUS. Fine as the mountain groups ap- 

 peared when we were last here, now after a 

 fresh fall of snow covering their summits, they 

 have even more of an Alpine character ; and 

 how beautiful are the scattered birch in their 

 young rich foliage, showing a hue of gold 

 blended with the tender green, as seen on 

 yonder hill side, where brightened by that 

 gleam of sunshine !
