out in the distance, vita its Peaks of Otter
and mountain piled upon mountain like
Pelion upon Ossa, with their varied, rich
valleys intervening. Then looking west,
you see in the distance under the golden
hue Of the horizon, the grand Allcglany,

night we sleep under one or two blankets,
and every day you are eGhilarated ny tBc
bracing atmosphere Of this gioriotls Sec
ton.
