Near the site Of the Mission House is q
small triangular enclosure, which was the
dian burying ground -ihongh no memorial
remains to mark 1 he graves OF those who
sleep there, But in that day for which oil
other DAYS were msde," they will not be ior-
gotten. they will as surely rise as their more
cnlipbtened brethren Of a farier hue. There
is something very touching in this monument
less cemetery. No lies are told about these
dead-no tombstone list Of virtues, unknown
in the life, are recorded here.
We can we'll imagine the red man saying as
Byrant hath said IL:
Tbs oank in VIII ich these dead were laid,
was sacred when its soil was ours
Thither the silent Indian m rii
Brought wreaths OF beais ami howers'
And the gay chef and giftc seer,
WOrshipped the Col OF thunde-s here"
How little the present deniz'ns of this fav-
CURED and beautiful region know Of that de-
parted race who once climbed these hills and
roamed these fertile valleys. I" The places that
once knew them know them no more"
Methnks it were noble sight
To see these yaies in woods arrayed,
Their SUBMITS in the golden light,
Their travels in the grateful shade,
And herds of deer that bounding 60
Oer' hills and PROSTATE trees b.lsw."
On very bright morning last week we set
of to explore Ice Glen Our party consisted
Of seven and a very interesting excursion il
proved. This glen or deep ravine ia so shelf
cred and shaded that the ice Of Winter does
not melt in it's woods aud caverns till Summer
is well nigh spent.
As we passed into the narrow delile, climb
ing with great difficulty over huge bOders or
leaping from one 10 another. l was reminded
Of ScOtl's words in reference to the TrossOchs
in the Scottish Highlands:
90 Crsgs, knobs and mounds cOnfusedy hrrl
TITO fragments Of earlier World
But here the view was grander and more
impressive, every thing being en- larger
scale.
1t was truly weired scene as we passed
from the warm sunshine into the chill of this
secluded glen. Rocks piled on rocks some so
suspended as to make one think gentle push
would send them crushing with their ponder
ous weight into the narrow gorge below
Some overlapping Others so as to form caves
and dens that might conceal an army of fugi-
tiv,s. The beautiful green moss on the rOck-
as well rs the lichens on the decayed trunk"
of fallen trees were damp and chill. the eld-
er pedestrians. among whom / connt myself
found it sufficiently difficult 20 make our way
through The bottom OF The glen, but the yoang
er members of the purity, not content will
anything so easy as This scaled its rugged and
PERCEPTIONS sides. thereby getting the best
views of this remarkable place. The more
rocky and interesting mart extends about three
LuudIcd yards when the glen gradually widens
and finally opens iniO a beautiful forest.
Il is not uncommon in the summer season
10 have torch light procession through Ice
Glen. Tie young people arraycd in brighl
and dnshing .colo's, representing varinns and
generally ridiculous characters, accompanied
by stout men bearing torch-lighis nAring hgl
in air, marching through this Wild and wan

Armed with fishing rods apiece we took TO

are, grew tiled pretty soon and resolved 10 take

During the afternoon we gathered from the
hillside about six quarts of Blackberries, Tie

were all glad 10 retire early that night. #
