THE FIELD 
&umes so fierce an appearance, and looks so chilling and repulsive, as when about 
to make its yearly change. This month was surely sent to coax away that frost 
Which still lingers on the highest and steepest mountains, and from whence it seems 
to look down on the youth and brightness of the green woods. May has now 
smoothed the wrinkles from the country up to the feet of the hills and rugged 
fells, and all around looks smiling in its infancy and beauty ! If ever the ap- 
pearance of the world is destined to make man’s heart glad, Spring is undoubtedly' 
the season for so doing. The gradual bursting forth of a new life the carolling 
of the feathered tribe, and a fresh existence seeming to pervade all things— palls 
one’s better feelings to the heart. It is painful to reflect to how many thousands 
of our fellow-creatures these are as a volume of exquisite poetry in the hands of 
an unlettered savage, and by how many Nature’s great book of flood and field is 
passed over unheeded and unremarked ! A beautiful prospect should remind us 
all of Xerxes’ reflection when he beheld his army ; and we also should recollect 
that a few months will wither and destroy all we see around us so youim and 
vigorous — the knowlegc of which may admonish us to enjoy the bounties of 
Nature now presented to us, and t.p return our grateful thanks to that Power which 
rules the seasons and the universe !
