with white sage, said to be nutricious food
for stock, but no water nor timber for fifteen
miles. Out of fertile valley onto an arid
plain is calculated to stupify the thoughts
and blunt the imagination. But the traveller
across this plain has only to raise his head
from the uninviting sage-brush and glstening
rocks by the wayside and view the grand pan
Drama stretched cut before him, which is to
the asthetic eye and lover of the sublime n
continual feast. Stretching from the north
around to the southwest a chain of noun
tains like dark cloud, resting against the
distant horizon, out of which rise heaven
ward peak after peak their rough outlines
mellowed by distance, snow crested or cloud
capped and in their solemn grandeur like
eternal sentinels, keeping their vigil watch
over advancing civilization us she spreads
her gracious rays of light over the millions
of broad acres redeemed from savage sway,
and covering the last remaining relics of bar
barism with the mantle of peace.
Now comes the disagreeable part of our
journey, a hot wind as from the mouth of a
furnace, and rs withering as the simeon of
Africa, struck full in the face, parching
our lips, intlaming our eyes and intensifying
our thirst. The murky atmosphere and
flashing heat veiled our glorious prospect,
and with bowed heads we rode in silence
being twelve miles from water, rough road
and slow team.
My companion, man of science, dignitied
orator, eNpOundtr OF Darwin theories, anu
advocate of Ingersoll doctrines, seemed to
wilt under the intense heat of wind and sun
and was as timber as reed shaken by the
winds. No more glowing remarks from him
nothing but some incoherent mutterings
about lecturing on the probability OF an ex-
isting Hades, if he got through this fiery or
deal without being roasted alive, and found
water to cool his parchcd tongue. After
hours of exposure to these hot winds and
sun our eyes were greeted with the waters of
the Gunnison, Il sight as cheering to our view
as an oasis TO the wandering Arab of the
desert. We soon reached the banks of the
beautiful river where it gushes from the
mouth of the great Black canon into an open
plain. Here we saked our thirst and bathed
in the cool waters of the sparkling stream.
After being rested and refreshed crossed
over and with reluctance, left these cooling
waters for drive of eight or ten miles over
an uninteresting country, from one TO two
miles back of and south of the cultivated
farms along the river, reaching our homes in
the village of Delta, in the evening twilight
much fatigued with our ride of thirty-tve
miles. Il. NJ.
