The

bition and human greatness, needs only to dwell here upon the lessons which it teaches. Amid all this, the weakness which is attributed to us, of admiring what is foreign, merely because it is so, becomes equally ridiculous and unreasonable with the absurd prejudice that leads us to denounce everything unallied to us. vast territory stretching from Maine to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains, contains in itself wonders of nature and wonders of art which no other country possesses; and while we learn to admire what is worthy of admiration in other lands, let us also study and venerate the wonders of our own country.

MOUNT AUBURN IN AUTUMN.

BY MRS. ELIZA LEE FOLLEN.

I LOVE to mark the falling leaf,
To watch the waning moon;
I love to cherish the belief,

That all will change so soon.

I love to see the beauteous flowers
In bright succession pass,

As they would deck life's fleeting hours,
And hide his ebbing glass.

I love the rushing wind to hear,
Through the dismantled trees,
And shed the sadly soothing tear
O'er joys that fled like these.

I love to think this glorious earth
Is but a splendid tomb,

Whence man to an immortal birth
Shall rise in deathless bloom;

That nothing on its bosom dies,
But all in endless change
Shall in some brighter form arise,
Some purer region range.

On this fair couch then rest thy head
In peace, thou child of sorrow;
For know the God of truth has said,
Thou shalt be changed to-morrow;

Changed, as the saints and angels are, To glories ever new;

Corrupt shall incorruption wear,

And death shall life renew.
