These moods ascribed to nature, and in which men are said to excel, are necessary, not only, to the pres efvation of the latest fforces, but they are essentially necessary to the integrity of mundane life as ar whole. It is therefore obvious, that the absence of one or more of these phenomena from the spheres in which they are design eel to act, vrould; methinks, terid to compromise the integrity of natural 'law, arid defeat the pur pose for which these cosmic dis turbances, were primarily : de signed.

The genius of the com : mander is exercised in like v man ner (figuratively speaking) as that which obtains in elemental war. Let I me illustrate The storm which occurred on the 25th inst: is a case in point: provides -f odd for thought, and serves as aids to reflection. Retiring at an early hour, and being somewhat iri mood for slumber, my faculties steeped in blissful repose. The midnight hour was t almost: ar rived, when the niutterings.of the distant thunder announcing the approach of the stotm broke upon my ear. The bed on which I had been reclining1 was not , of eider down, but improvised of quilts, formed into a pallet, and spread upon the floor. The weather being warm, I thought it advisable, in order to secure the greatest degree of comfort, pos sible under the circumstances, to let the door remain ajar Thus, the opportunity to breathe in the fragrance of the zephyjr that came from the south was of. immediate avail . Indeed, I was wide1 a wake; even the kiss of the fugi tive zephyr stealing its way (riot uninvitingly) inta my apartment, failed Utterly . to induce repose ; or to land me in; the arms : of Morpheus. Not even the desire for sleep possessed me in trie', re motest degree.; However, -after a lapse of a half hour the air be came more refreshing, -with the resuit-I - fell . into v quiet,," reverie from which 1 wasaroused a few moments later, by the reyerberat- Jing echoes of the intoned thunder, the lightning's flash, and ;the 'al most constant moaning pi the winds.

Although the human eye is the first and best of painter's delight in beauty, there is a limit to its power. Hence it is that natural pheno mena, together with its supernal splendours, and gorgeous mag nificence, . become . .;, monotonous' where the view is too extended.
