Excerpt from Sacred Philosophy of the Seasons, Vol. 3: Illustratring the Perfections of God in the Phenomena of the Year When we turn from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth, we find a still greater peculiarity. The vege table tribes, speaking generally, have advanced through the various stages Of production and maturity, and, at the commencement of the season, are approaching the verge Of Old age. The bountiful earth, however, is still full of beauty, and vegetation appears yet to be in its vigor. The hay has been cut, and gathered into the Darn-yard, and the young clover has again covered the mown fields with the liveliest green, or adorned them with its various-tinted owers of red, white, and yellow. The crops Of corn are beginning to beam with gold, about to invite the joyous labors Of the reaper bands. The pastures still teem with a profusion Of succulent herbage, on which the ocks and herds luxuriate, without anticipating the coming rigors ofwinter, - happy at once in the protection of man, and in their ignorance Of the future. The woods, which have long exchanged the soft green Of Spring for the more sober shades that indicate maturi ty, still retain all their leafy pride, and hide in their Shady bosom myriads Of the feathered tribes, which have not yet left our shores, to seek for that subsistence in warm er climes, about to be denied them in the land of their birth. They have, however, in general, ceased to sing and the redbreast, and the mellow-toned wood-lark, thrush, and blackbird, which, after a period of Silence, resume their notes early in this season, continue almost alone to render the groves vocal with their sweet music. Another peculiarity ofautumn is a diminution both in the varieties and the profusion of its owers. The blos soms of June had long run to seed, under the excessive heat Of July, and had been succeeded by other owers, chie y Of aromatic, thick-leaved, and succulent plants, and Of those called compound - flowered but now, even these are in general casting their petals, and taking the form Of seed. The meadow-saffron and Canterbury bells, however, still ornament the English lawns, and the beautiful purple blossoms Of the heath shed a rich glow over the uncultivated commons and craggy hills, covered with sheep.
