It is not common experience that when we show to persons who have never seen them before beautiful views, whether in' the city or the country, which we have been in the habit of passing by without any sense, of pleasure, simply because we have become so accustomed to the sight of them, we find our own enjoyment renewed in their enjoyment of. the novelty of- the scene? —St. Augustine.
