SATURDAY, AUG. 29th, 1840. THAT re-action succeeds excitement, is as undeniable a fact as, that night succeeds to day. We were therefore naturally enough, at the commencement of the present week, quite in a mood to sit down and ruminate a little, on what is passing in the world; but Monday had scarcely appeared, before a repetition of last week's amusements commenced, offering the temptation to abandon, for a time, reflection, or, at best, to postpone it until night should stamp our scribbling studies "lucubrations" The Cricket-match must be seen;—the Ball and Supper must not, of course, be forgotten and, tho' last, not least, "business must be attended to." Time however, eventually ter- minates all these excitements, and then how really delightful to contemplate, that while, as we find on taking up a Newspaper, "Hot, dull, dreary, dusty, dirty London has become a desert; not a carriage to be seen in the streets except those of the doctors, who seem to be hunting after patients, and enjoying the sultry climate, in hopes of an epidemic—we are located in a delightful little Watering Place; and that we can scarce set foot to catch the sea-breeze, without meeting some well- known face, whom last, perchance, we saw deeply absorbed in the heated political atmos- phere of the "Commons,"—or, may-hap, the dignified SPEAKER himself,—each rejoicing in the opportunity afforded him of relaxing from the cares and toils of office; and invigorating himself by inhaling the renovating air of Aber- ystwith, or, perhaps still more delightful, paying a visit to picturesque Hafod.—Do we wish to emerge from the gaiety of the Town? -we take our Rod and stroll along the banks of the Rhydol River; and in this golden month of August, when "Pour'd from the villages. a nilm,rotis train Now spreads o'er all the fields. In form'd array The reapers move, nor shrink from heat, to toil By emulation urged. Others, dispers'd, Or bind in sheaves, or load, or guide, the wain, That tinkles as it passes. Far behind Old age and infancy, with careful hand, Pick up each straggling ear," our admiration is divided, between the bold scenery surrounding this fertile vale, and the
