"The Beauties of Nature
Study of Nature.
The study of Nature is the most
grand and sublime in which
an can engage. It surfaces
in the grandeur of its lessons, and
sublimity of its teachings. It's
volume is full of instruction, and
wisdom is inscribed in glowing characters
on every Image while every line shows
power and magnificence. The
wisdom of the Creator is heard from
every laughing cliff and jutting
rock; it speaks in the
whirlwind storm and in the
balmy gale - or the gentle zephyr;
The booming thunder proclaims it
through the sky and echoes it along
the heavens; the vivid lightening
paints it in fearful characters on
blackened clouds; and writes it
with startling emphasis on the
surrounding gloom. Look where
you will over the face of the mighty
earth, and you will hear its beauty
and sublimity heralded forth
from every opening gulf, and
lofty peak; from every flaming
volcano, and foaming cataract: it
is seen in the blackened clouds and
angry storm: it is proclaimed from
the heaving billows of the mighty
ocean to the tiny rivulet and
sparkling water fall; from the
lofty mountain to the rolling prairies
Beautiful fields and magnificent
forest; all utter forth, as with one
voice the beauty and magnificence
of Nature,
