ia always preserved, their progress and
development is much affected by the
surroundings, that either tend to en
ervate and stupify, or tQ exercise a
vigorous and healthy organism with
Its correlative mental expansion and
intellectual advancement.
The hardy mountaineer, who, like
the lordly eagle, perches hia eyria up-
the hill-top, and bounds like the cha
mois over craig and precipice,' cannot
brook the absolution of the tyrant,
and nature speaks through their dar
ing souls and makes a Wallace or a
Tell. The march of civilization and
strength of the oppressor, of course, is
a material element in the ultimat e dis
persal of the country or nation ; but
the principle of freedom, typified m
the huge mountain peaks which pierce
the clouds, pointing to the world wher;e
all must meet on the plane af equali
ty, is still in the breast, and sooner or
later breaks forth in a Garibaldi born
in the shadow of the Appenines, or a
Schamyl reared on the mountains of
the Circassian frontier. The same
sense of freedom is nourished on the
broad green prairie and interminable
forests of our. own country ; in., eyerjr
place where Christianity is the gov
erning force of a nation, there nature
spreads her boldest and sharpest out
lines, or expands into some broad and
unlimited phase.
The gay, smiling landscape of sun
ny France, coquetting into green vine
yards and flowery slopes ; her rivers
running hither and thither, chasing
.each -other through umadoa'S, dells,
and little strips of trees, dotting the
fields in their green freshness, is a ro
mantic, fickle, and unreal life of tho
Frenchman ! The dreamy, quiet land
scape of Italy, Avhere the lights and
shadows mingle, and the soft, delicious
air, perfumed by eternal flowers that
bloom in vernal beautv on her olains
and'cainpagna, enervate the chpdof
song and he sleeps aAvay in quiet in
activity, a lite which in its longings
has never reached beyond the glowing
neldS ot his own poetio tancy.
Thus the effect of natural scenery
upon the character of a people is a
fruitful subject for contemplation.
The broad, majestic ocean, the louy
mountain, lakes, rivers, forests, prai
ries, all have their own appropriate
sphere in the economy of nature ; in
affecting the character, thence, th
condition of mankind, and from the
hill-tops, where God estatlishe his
tabernacles, 'yea, from the mountains
where I dwelf, saith the Lord, shall
go forth the law for the cstablbhing
of my kingilom. '
From the mountain, then, dawns
the breath of freedom ; there cradled
by the storms, and nourished by the
pure air of heavenrblooms perpetual
ly the untrammelled element of liber
ty, the safeguard of religion and rirr
tare, and from the fastnesses of her
of
