And, though we should be grateful for good houses, there is, after all, no house like God's out-of-doors. -R. L. STEVENSON. Above, the clear sky was full of stars, the sky a lovely night blue. It was a time when, if ever it will, the soul reigns and the coarse, rude acts of day are forgotten in the aspirations of the inmost mind. The night was calm-still; it was in no haste to do anything-it had nothing it needed to do. To be is enough for the stars. -RICHARD JEFFRIES. The simplicity of winter has a deep moral. The return of nature, after such a career of splendor and prodigality, to habits so simple and austere is not lost, either upon the head or the heart: It is the philosopher coming back from the banquet and the wine to a cup of water and a crust of bread. -JOHN BURROUGHS, To him who, in the love of Nature, holds -WILLIAM CULLEN Bryant.
