nifcent scenery presented by tho trip from Denver
here but have neither time nor space anu IL has
been so well described by Bayard 1aylor put wear
ago, that need not attempt repetition. from tne
base of the mountains IL miles west OF Denver,
we were whirled through the narrow canyons over
the steep decivties, and along the mountain slues,
over tbe best stage road ever Travelled, until We
landed in this lovely little village, hemmed III Dy
circle of ranges. Its celebrated hot s0da-sprlngs
made me taTry day 10 enjoy them, and haZaid
nothing in predicting that in very few years tney
will attract thousands annually from the Eastern
coast in search of rest and OF natures submest beau
ties Go where you will in this secuon, tne prospect
is most charming, but all is dwaIfed by the ndtscrl,
babe grandeur of the mountains; NehaVe fead ahd
written volumes about the grandeur OF te Alps Dui
the world has only one such view as IS presented
from the valley prairie east OF Denver IN Dewhoeng

isolated views of the Alps beautiful as any 20 miles
! Of the Rocky range, and the ICY land OF huSsian
America has its St. Elias, that towers higher toward
the heavens than the highest OF them, but here Is
presented in one grand view, nearly A0 mies OF ING
! Rocky Mountains from beyond Plkeg ieaK
far off to the south thence by the Spanish Peaks 70
Longs Peak and still toward tho south, until the
range is lost in the dimuess of distance. Black
threatening clouds hung about them When liSt L
saw them, and added 10 the peerless beauty oil INC
scene. Around Longs Peak the storm-king seemed
TO be spel-bound or held an easy captlye Tor nc au

charged and broken and his thunaerbolts drawn III

! its vast Tidged, and broken sweep until it
is lost in The deep blue vaulted dome on either side
Ii has no two points alike if the Great Architect
meant to confuse the very conceptions OF men in this
colossal masterpiece Of his creation. YOnder is
cluster Of peaks as if made up of huge inverted
iccles, and beside them it would seem that gigantic
snow-drfts with their unique and countless forms,
had fallen in. Here is hillock OF spotless white,
whose garments change not with the revolving sea
sons, regular, graceful, rounding with apparent
mathematical precision until 1t finishes with lts
tapered cap Of snow. There deep ravincs, vast
gOrges and rude scraggy peaks, as If the earth
quake had taken the Western world in ITS frenzied
arms, and tossed its mightiest rocks i'll wild disorder
across the plains. Thus north and south MS far
the eye see and for two hundred miles toward the
setting sum- these vast. snOw-cad monuments OF
OmnpOtent power present their varied beauties aud
surprising grandeur and turn from them only when
the last ray of the reccdng sun has parted with their
tOp-mOst crowns, and tho mellow morn-i ght takes
up the grateful task of displaying through nights
weary shadows this mute but most impressive
tribute an all-wiSe God has reared TO Himself
