SEPTEMBER.
Some persons live long in a short time,
while others live beyond the allotted three
score years and ten, whose days appear
to them as but a span. “How shot! the
month has been!’’ exclaims one, whose
mind has been fully occupied in works of
benevolence, in revealing the mysteries
of science, and observing the wonderful
operations of nature about him. Such a
mind lias had no heavy moments, but,
buoyant and elaltic, lias risen from hour to
hour into some unexplored regions of truth,
pushing aside the annoyances in its way,
and expanding with the healthful acquisi
tions w hich are fitting it for the skies.
“How long the week has been!” is the
desponding utterance of another, whose
time has been frittered away w ithout la
bor, or the pursuit of any ennobling object
which would impart to it life and vigor.
All the works of the Creative Hand show
unceasing activity. The sea recedes hut
to return again : when it rests it rots; as
in the expressive language of the “Ancieut
Mariner—
“The very deep did rot; O Christ I
That eveu this should be !
Yea, slimy thing* did crawl with legs
l pon the slimy sea.”
Tho winds circle the globe, bearing nour
ishment in their breath, and sustain life in
all animated beings. Hirers run to the
sea, and there, eliminated by the ever
working sun, seek the skies again, and
pour their rich treasures again and again
upon the thirsty earth. So mustit be with
man. The inactive mind sinks first into
indifference and then to inanity.
It has always seemed to us that “The
Seasons.” coining each in their allotted
time, atlbrd the clearest evidence of the
consummated wisdom of the Creator.
The wants of Hod's children, mental and
physical, arc adapted to the seasons, and
the seasons to them, else there would be
no harmony in them. It was left lor man
to notice the changing character of each
season, and make a further division into
months, whose peculiarities are as inter
esting, if not as grand as those of the sea
sons themselves.
To the occupied mind, the months fleet
past us so swiftly, that, though we never
mistake them while they are present with
us, yet the moment any one of them is
gone by wo begin to blend the recollection
of its features with those of the one which
preceded it, or tiiat which has taken its
place, and thus confuse them together
until we know not “which is which.” And
then, to mend the matter, when the whole
ot them have danced their graceful round,
hand in hand, before us, not being able
to think of either separately, we unite
them all together in one imagination, and
call them the past year, as we gather
flowers into a hunch, and call them a
bouquet.
“Now this should not be. Each oilo of
the sweet sisterhood has features sufficient
ly marked and distinct to entitle her to a
place and a name ; and if we mistake these
features, and attribute those of any one
to any other, it is because we look at them
with a cold and uninterested, and there
fore an unobservant regard."
In order to really enjoy the months, we
must be strongly impressed with the pecu
liarities of each—the weather, atmosphere
phenomena, the coining in and going out
of plants, animated life about us, in our
domestic animals, in insect and bird-life,
and the changing sounds which proceed
from them at the different stages of their
existence. We must “pay equal devotion
to eacii in her turn; the blooming May and
the blushing June disdain the vows of
of these votaries who have not previously
wept at the feet of the weeping April, or
sighed in unison with the sail breath of
March. And it is the same with all tho
rest. They present a sweet emblem of the
ideal of a happy and united family; to
each member ot which the best proof you
can oiler licit you are worthy of her love,
is, that von have gained that of her sisters;
and to whom the' best evidence you can
give of being able to love either worthily,
is, that you love all.” This should be the
manner in w hich we should regard the
months. They will pass rapidly, to be
sure, but will instruct us as they pass of
our own and their immortality,—iumortal,
because ever renewed, and bearing tho
seeds of their renewal within themselves.

er, these are but the varied Hod! The
roiling year is full of Thee."—*V. E. far
