(^^4,10 G 



" So, on a large scale, the student and lover of nature has this ad- 

 vantage over people who gad up and down the world, seeking some 

 novelty or excitement ; he has only to stay at home and see the proces- 

 sion pass. The great globe swings around to him like a revolving show- 

 case ; the change of the seasons is like the passage of strange and new 

 countries ; the zones of the earth, with all their beauties and marvels, 

 pass one's door, and linger long in the passing. What a voyage is this 

 we make without leaving for a night our own fireside !"
