get quite rccoaciied % the absenes from
the horix0n of some line Of hill, and
xould keep searching for some streak
Of blue. Surely there Was nothing here
Of the dreary wastes We had imagined
First of sll, and near Us, was . rich viii
derness Of fowers, of the most beautiful
verdure and vsriegated colors-mssses of
yellow sun flowers, and lilac Michselmas-
daises, and what not, with the blood-red
of the sumach coming in. Further of,
the plain rose and fell In gentle undula-
tions covered with variously tinted grass
and here and there we're the palisades of
few ranches. Further away still, we're
wider and barer fluctuations, marked by
one or two clusters of the minutest specks,
which we took to be cattle. Then beyond
that again the open prairie-land-long,
level swathes, of the very faintest russell,
gray-green, and yellow-gray, going out
the blue sky of the hori-
zon seemed quite close and near to us COM
pared with that ever and mysterious re-
csding plain. This vast distance was
not awful, like the sea. 1t was beautiful
in its pale colors; it was full of an eager
interest-for the eye appealed to the
imagination to aid it in its endless search;
aud if it was an ocean at ell it was an
ocean that broke at our feet in brilliant
foam of flowers. This similitude was,
indeed, so obvious that we unanimously
were of opinion that it must have been
used by every American poet who has
ever written about the prairie lands
