MOONLIGHT ON TIE MISSISSIPPI.

MOONLIGHT ON TIE MISSISSIPPI.
The islands in silver sheen are "a thing
of beauty and a joy forever" An eternal
silence broods over them, with the giant
guards Of the Eastern and Western shores.
Ut seems as il Nature had here sought
solitude and defies art to disturb her rcpose.

"They continue in ever. varying forms

at some points make the shore of the river,
then they recedc, leaving fore, ground of

planted them; now, in long, serpcn,inc

Midway up the bluffs one sometimes sees
a belt of rocks reminding US of the frag.
ments of walls on the Rhine. The sur.
passingly beautiful marvel ofall is the mimic
castles, or rather, the foundations of
ruined castles that surmount the pinnacles.
These mere rocks of lime and sandstone
so mock and haunt one with their resem-
blance to the feudal fortresses of the Old
World, that we unconsciously wonder what
has become of the Titan race that built
them"
But the whip poor-will is singing, and the
Ministries Of the Northern Light are sending
out upon the night air dewy and fragrant,
their richest music, so that there is woven
about ones pillow in graceful fantasy, a
beautiful mid summer nights dream.
