The survivors Of the Seventh Vermont

pense of the trip was not great. The
mountain house is neatly kept, and COM
Portable lodgings can be obtained for 81
also meals at 81 each. Four of the gen
tlemen decided that in order to make q
complete programme they mast camp out,
so accordingly after lingering fondly
around the fire until late hour, they
grandly marched forth to their camp
around under the shadow of huge rock
Here they laid down all the rubber blank
cts, buffalo robes and wraps available;
after many whoops and much nonsensical
noise, the two reverend gentlemen, the
professor and the giant laid themselves
down also. Those of us under shelter
concluded by the terrible connections
heard in that camp at intervals that their
bed was not one of roSes-that possibly
it was slightly damp, also that the wind
may have famed their marble brows a
little too assiduously. But our heroes all
testified at a gerry early hour that they had
rested and slept unusually well. We were
nearly all up on the tip Of the nose in time
to see the god of day commence his daily
journey. To us the grandest view obtain
ed was that of vast ocean of mist lying
away to the westward, sometimes appear
ing like sea of ice, then becoming
smooth and pearl-like in appearance.
Then we had the privilege as the mist
arose of seeing the adjacent chin COM
pletely covered with the cloud as with a
garment, the outline of the mountain
being fully preserved. 1t looked like a
great pyramid Of opal. But alas! we are
only mortal and one of our elders called
loudly to the ladies of the party for his
breakfast, and so, reluctantly, we left the
grand old summit and went down to feed
hungry man. Could anything be more
utterly dreadful? After partaking of cof-
fee and other good things from the top OF
an elegant table-rock, to the accompani-
ment of gallant and witty remarks by our
learned professor, we all started for the
chin, '.just few minutes walk" some said
really two miles distant from the house.
Arriving at the highest point we had the
Champlain Lake and valley in full view.
Truly Vermonters have a right to be
proud Of their country! Such beautiful
farms, comfortable houses, lovely scenery
as we beheld! Far away the noted
Adirondacks stood plainly out against the
sky-but it is useless to attempt a descrip
ton. We advise every one to 60 and sec
for themselves. Then they will more
fully comprehend the power and majesty
of Him who is Creator and Lord Of all
We can family imagine what the glory
and grandeur will be when these vast
forests encircling the mountains are
clothed in their scarlet and purple anC
gold. Our party said good bye to all
and singing ''Sweet Bye and Bye" com
menced the descent, fully persuaded thai
the trip had been a delightful one. Tx
