" THE LEAF.
We all do fade as a leaf. — Isaiah.
Have you never been struck, reader, by the evident resemblance between the various appearances of na- ture, and the various states of the human mind, as well as the successive stages of human life ? If not, reflect on it, and you will find it interesting. We can easily conceive how the Divine Being might have' created a perpetual variance between our condition and the state of nature around us. When he pro- nounced the earth accursed " for our sak...es, " he might have aggravated that curse, by surrounding us to a painful extent with immitigable sameness. He might have reduced the large variety of animal tribes to the few which we use for food ; and have left us no quad- ruped to please us with its gambols — no insect to sport in the summer's sun — no birds to delight us with their flight and their song. He might have taken away all the beauty of the landscape, by commanding the hill to sink and the valley to rise to a perfect level — by sinking the torrent and the rivulet beneath the surface of the earth — and by substituting for the towering and luxuriant tree nothing but the thorn and the brier.
