Summer is come again, bright anfl beautiful as it| ever comclh, for tho treca-and flowers never looked more lovely than they do now; and although man' sinned against hfa-Maker, and was driven from the Garden ofEden—that garden in which the angels walked, and conversed with Adam—still God, in, His I goodness .adorned the hills and fields with leaver and j blossoms,as beautiful as wo can imagineever waved | in paradise, that their presence might gladden our hearts,.an,d cpll forth our praiso and gratitude,;whilo looking, upon,' the wonderful workmanship of hia| hands.: -,. ; I Many a Upae while at school have wo talkod aboul ’this.delicious.season, often wondering If*,wo should find the yaong birds hopping about the neighborhood of the.old nest, In the 4amo green hawthorn hedge where they had built year after year; aiid often.have wo fancied that wo could hear the sheep bloating beside the brodß where they had been driven to; bo -waaliedwo imitated the shout of the glad cuckpo, and recalled the very spot-whoie wo hoard, her fling ing! in the sunshine, as.she stood perched upon the topmost bough of tho old ashrlrce.,. Wo,assembled in little groups, and planned many an excursion, in our minda, to.places wore hundreds of swe?t wild flow, ors grow j. to solitudes where the water.hon swam, arid built, and dived, and roared her young; where, the tell bulrushes waved, and the bending water flags nodded to their shadows In the clear stream.— Our memory flew back to the green straggling lanes, and, flelds that sloped dawn from the foot of many a 1 rounded hill; to, mornings when seemed Ibalhed in sunshine, and tlio smell pflhe hawthorn I mingled with the sweet breath of the cows, as: wo I drove them homevyard at milking-litne-or mounted, on the broad-backed . horses, rode them to water in the clear pool besido lho wood, before they.dragged the heavy wagon into the hayfield.

Up and away,then, “ my merry men all,” os Kobin Hood says*to his foresters in the old ballad, arid'wp' will ramble together through the fields and woods, over many a high hill, and beside many a pleasant brook, anti talk about the wonderful .things which we are sure to meet with in our way. Wo will gate upon the groat 90k which seems to grow up into the very sky, and examine the graceful form of the small qup-moss which is scattered around its twisted roots on the earth; look upon the huge ox that lows in the meadows,.omUhakes the earth with Us heavy tread; and talk a tWut'ltolitlle harvest-moose, which would fimhihg-wcro it placed* in Hie opposite scolb. We will visit tho spot where the fierce (lawk builds its neat, and show you lire I home wliich'lho titltriouso erects for her young ones. We will leap, and rnn, arid shout, and sing that little woodland song of Shakspoare’s until wo make-lho old hills echo again, as they ring back thb chorus, while we merrily exclaim, from the very joyousness of our hearts, ' “ Under the greenwood tree, . Who loves to lie with me, And tune his merry note Como hither—come hither.” A GOOD JOKE. ‘ !

Well, the broker in question locked his now oafo according to the word bools, but after working at It for an hour or more the next morning, ho could not unlock it, and gave it up in despair; All his funds were locked up, says the paper, and ho had no money to carry on ills business that day, but as his credit was good, ho raised sufficient for the purpose by borrowing,ol thei banks, iho next morning the manulkclurer of the look according to request, called to ascertain the difficulty.
