bleak and desolate peaks OF tho mountains.
All along this range, In which the road is
cut, gushing and laughing streams, brewed
by God midst masses OF rock, are seen max
ing their way through the evergreens, now
and then sporting In the sunshine.
We have often looked upon this same pic
iure midst the fresh and sparkling cmeralds
OF Spring we have rej0iced and dreamed
happy dreams, famed by the warmer and
more soothing breezes Of Summer; we have
reveled in the peaceful and gorgeous ap-
parel Of motley Autumn, in the rainbow
beauty of the forest leaves; but we would
like 10 sec these thousand rills trickling and
leaping down 80 merrily from the summitof
the mountains rs they appear in the Winter
in the shape of glittering icicles, when bitter
frosts have chilled them
