Murray has populated the Adiron-
dack region with disappointed pleasure
seekers. In place Of the magnificent
realms which his fancy could not make
too gorgeous, they have found long
reaches Of pine barren or swamp and
marsh, from which the deer have long
ago been scared beyond the range Of
rihed cannon, and sluggish streams
from whose waters the trout have fed,
and mountains rising out of wilder
ness inhabited chiefly by black flies
and mosquitoes. Bailled in their search
for pleasure. for comfort, for rest, for
deer and for trout, they have retreated
from that wilderness and left it to the
Boston Parson and his few enthusiastic
| friends who can find books in brooks,
sermons in stones, and good in every
thing" odorous, comfortless and bad.
But pleasure seekers tell different
story Of Vermont attractions, and well
they may. She needs no Murray with
powerful logic or beautiful smile to
recount her praises. Her mountains,
her valleys, her glens and brooks, her
balmy air, cooling breezes tell tale as
pleasant and far more truthful. If some

household a vacation that shall be a
recreation; if some lover would see
the eye Of his mistress fash with re-
hected beauty if some artist would
put few leaves into his portfolio that
shall have no rivals; if some banker
would spend his dividends in pleasures
that would add to his power to increase
them if some clergyman would Gil his
head with finest illustrations, or some
lawyer get inspiration to iIlumine the
desolate halls Of justice, let them listen
to a few words Of counsel as TO how
they may spend one summer vacation
