for the present, I may perhaps resume the sub-

the remark, that " the more we know, the more 
we wish to know ;" and also that your just ad- 
miration of the beauties and excellencies of na- 
ture will lead you to that deep and habitual 
reverence of its great Author, which alone can 
ensure you peace of mind through the changes 
of life. Adieu ! 
THE END.
