How brave goes the year to its set- ting ! These calm, cold days impress me like the fine characters of history and the elder time, in- spired with a generous wisdom, and prophesying what shall be the newest and best word of hope in our day. The season embraces and surpasses 137 EARLY LETTERS TO those old men, even the finest. To-day, as I walked, the magnificence of the closing year, so steadfast and sure, sparing no sunshine nor rain, passing quietly out to be renewed nevermore, quite reprove...d the solemn martyrdoms of men, upon which we hang our hopes. Nature is great that she does not suffer us to define her influence upon ourselves. Like all greatness, she suggests to us beauty and grace, not as attributes of hers, but fair buds and flowers of the soul. Therefore, in the full presence of nature, the grandest deeds seem harmonious and the wisdom of Plato, and actions whose great- ness is the centre, not the utmost compression, of our life are harmonious and symmetrical. To the Greeks and Jews the Gospel is blindness and a stumbling-block, but joy and peace to the elect.
