The mind will be busy; and, when shut out from commerce, from politics, from all bustling affairs that distract it in our working weeks, what more wholesome subjects than these, for which we have little time save in the summer holiday? Then we can return to unwritten philoso phy and poetry, which were wont to carry our dreaming youth above and beyond the world on wings of speculation.
