344 THB KATURALf8T*S DIARY

Oar mind,
Expanded by the GcQias of the spot,
Has ^own colossal.

We have often descanted^ in the coosse of our an-
nual lucubrations, on the * pleasures of winter;' the
frosty morning's walk, with its invigorating breezes —
the long nights, devoted alternately to study and to
society, with the enlivening blaze of a sea-coal fire —
and the ^ glass that dieers, but not inebriates' — are
no small attractions, and peculiarly endear to, us
this festive season of the year t — we, of course, in-
clude jthe ^ PLEASURES OF home/ How often ia re-
turning across the fields of a dry, frosty, moonlight
evening in December, have we chaunted aloud this
exquisue description of the poet : —

Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog's honest bark
Bay deep-mouthed welcome as we draw near home,

Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark
Our coming, and look brighter when we come.

Towards the end of the month, woodcocks Bjid snipes
become the prey of the fowler. The jack-snipe (sco-
lapax galUnula), which visits us at this period, is a
decided species, with marked and singular habits. —
See our ktst volume, p« 319.

The evergreen trees with their beautifiol cones, such
as firs and pines, are qow particularly observed and
valued : the different species of everlasting flowers;
so pleasing an ornament to our parlours in winter,
and indeed during the whole year, also attract our
attention. The oak, the beech, and the hornbeam,
in part retain their leaves : while other trees ai^ en-
' tirely denuded of their beautiful dress, their ' leafy
honours' being strewed in the dust, and returned to
their parent earth ; yet some attractions are still left
as a promise of future beauty. The. scarlet berries of
the common holly, and the pyracanthus, wilA its
bunches of fiery berries on its dark green tiiomy
sprays, solicit our attentioiir-*while numerous (aribes
oi mosses will afford sufficient amusement and occn^

pation for the. inquiring botanist, — and the poet's
lyre> vibrating with melancholy but soothing har-
mony, records the fall of the few remaining with-
ered leaves that flutter about himl in his noonday
walk,

Tfaroa^h the calm and frosty air
Of this morning bright and fair,
Eddying rou^d and round they sink,
SoftJy, slowly; one might think,
From the motions that are made,
Every little leaf conveyed
Sylph or Faery hither tending —
To this lower world descending.
Each invisible and mate.
In his wavering parachute.



The general silence that prevails at the conclusion
of our summer months is particularly solemn and
afl'ecting: — all nature seems languid and at rest;
^ the singing bird and the turtk are no longer heard
in the land;* the solemn fall of a leaf^ or a shrew-
mouse rustJiBg in the withered foliage, awakes almost
alone our contemplative reverie. — We have now a
lull sense of the loss we sustain in the departure of
our summer birds, and the animation and cheerful*-
ness which these little wanderers communicate to our
groves :— pendent from the mossy limb of an oak, we
see the parus tribe (tom-tits) in active silence, seek-
ing their insect food, uttering at long intervals a note
so low and feeble, that makes us sensible of the sur-
rounding stilness; thenu^Ao/cA hammering on some
distant tree, or the screech of the jaj^ alone is heard
to disturb the unbroken solemnity of Nature. The
red'breastyViYko has forsaken us all the summer long,
now accompanies our rambles; flitting before our
steps like some ministering atteiulant,he comes from
we know not where, but is always present, voiceless
and attentive. The misecf myriads mat peopled every

346 THE naturalist's diary

woodland glade^ gay and glittering in the changing
lights^ are no more, and we ha^e only some ^ shard
clad beetle' creeping feebly along the path, or rest-
ing in torpid silence upon a fallen leaf. — ^Yet Natnre,
so seemingly in repose^ is now actively at work^ and
in her secret laboratory is preparing her essences,
moulding her fruits, and fabricating her forms, for
Summer's coming gale : many of the insect race are
now busily employed in accomplishing the removal
of substances tliat would encumber the earth but for
their agency, and accelerating their return to the dust
from whence they sprang. Those curious little mean-
derings, sometimes in tiie form of a leaf, or a well-
trained pear-tree, which may be noticed on a wall^ on
the a^hen bar of a stile, or on the surface of some elm
paling, or fence, are the winter work of insects {ips
icolytus, ips niger, ifc.) whose grubs, unseen by us,
are now forming their labyrinthine paths, and pro-
ceeding to their perfect state : a larger race of these
wood-devourers mine deeper in the substance, but
all are employed in accomplishing one great object
of their existence, — the removal of incumbrances from
the earth.

The little insights that we obtain into Nature's
works are really all of them the offspring of sci-
entific research : partial and uncertain as our labours
are, yet a brief gleam will occasionally enlighten
the darksome path of the humble inquirer, and give
him a momentary glimpse of hidden truths: — let not,
then, the idle and the ignorant scoff at him who gives
an unemployed hour to investigate a Jnngusy a shell,
or a mosSy ^ in ways of pleasantness and paths of
peace; — they are all the formation of Supreme
Intelligbngb, and have led us, by gentle grada-
tions, to a knowledge of Infinite Wisdom; have
calmed and amused many of us worms and reptiles
in our earthly shell, and bettered us for our change
to a new and more perfect state of being !

FOR DECEMBER 1S25. 347

O who can view yon splendid starry hoit.
Where vision fails, in subtle ether lost ;
This Jower sphere, with all its countless train
That cleave the air, or skini the liquid main.
Or clothe the eartii, from Man, the lord of ail,
Down to the ffray-moss on the moul6Ving wall ;
O who can mark each still continued race.
Their varied links and nice gradations trace ;
Where, order, use, and elegance combine.
And fail to find Omnipotence divine ?

Yes ! He who ^ides the rolling orbs above,
Spreads every leaf that flutters in the grove ;
Sireathes health and fragrance in each balmy gale ;
Pours the clear streamlet gliding in the vale ;
Extends the vast Atlantic's rolling floods ;
And clothes the forest with its waving woods ;
Guides the ffreen tendril round the summer bower ;
Shines in the dew^ and blushes in the^ott^^r /
The humblest bud, that blossoms to the mom,
The meanest insect, on its bosom borne.
Live by the fiat of that mighty hand,
Who launched the spheres, and bade the skies expand.

ALEX. BALFOUR.
