 Description: An October morning in New England! They who appreciate the beauties of Nature in the chill air of Autumn, when the hoar-frost hangs heavily on the brown grass, and the forest-foliage has assumed the diversified robe so peculiar to the northern regions of the United States; particularly they who have loitered among the uplands of Massachusetts and in the vicinity of Boston, have seen the sun rise from the blue Atlantic, and break the clouds into a thousand fragments of purple and gold, while his beams glittered on the ripples of the ocean,—and this on an October morning,—have seen a vision of magnificence and beauty perfectly characteristic of that glorious country which is already developing the scheme of broad philanthropy, of which the pilgrim fathers were the first medium of manifestation.
