It's evident that melancholy Young man
never lived in Nevada and missed enjoy.
ipp such splendid weather as We are now.
in the middle OF October, reveling in.
To attempt TO describe ii is like trying
to naint sunbeams, but every one feels
and ENJOYS it. To stand on one of the
peaks at sunset and see the canyons fill
iny up with twilight shadows, range upon
range of mountains melting into each
other in a misty cloud of azure distance,
with soft, shadovy patches of clouds fill
ing in between, to look to the eastward
over the infinite expanse of broken
country where the peaks are piled up
and outlined in massive distinctness.
with their dark blue and brown sides
pnrnlinp in the sunset light, and over all
the refulpept glory of the sapphire sky, to
see all this is to see a sight that no artist
of pen or pencil could transfer to paper
or canvass and hope TO do it justice
| Magic shades of light and varying color
blend as the nearer and farthest noun
tain perks change their hues with the
changing light as the orb of day sinks
| behind the western hills. Then fades
the sunset, and soft purple shade deep
ems around, and twilight softly melts
into the moonlight ray. The dark crests
so lately gliitering in the suns rays are
silver tipped, while the ptarly radiance
floods valley plain and rugged mountain
side with food of enchanting and most
| harmonious light. The rude crags that
stand out in daring relief throughout the
| day are now meilowed in the rays of the
| moon TO semblance Of embattled turret
| and enchanted castle. The moon swings
| up into the zenith, and the stars in her
presence grow faint and dim, and now
come sweet memories of the past, for it
| is a season for dreams and reveries both
| sweet and sad. Then comes the miner
with full lunch-can and r-dolent pipe,
and with an anxious inquiry, has the
last cage gone down for the IL O'Clock
! shift? " an affirmative response is given.
and a snothered oath and rafting OF
ROCKS far up the hight breaka the spell,
and we go coughing and sueeZlng to bed g,
to wake with a swell-d nose and q sore
throat when the rosy aurora of morning
sheds her refulg-nt beams over the sur
rounding landscape.
OUE POTATO ITEM. - Potatoes are
around, everybody seems to be on the
potato; so we conclued to be some or
the potato ourselves, accordingly yes
