natures grand exhibition days, in this

three magnificent entertainments.
Jack Frost, the noted artist, had the
previous night, been busy, as he only
can be, with his invisible brushes and
pallet and had covered everything in
reach with thick coat of white frost,
which, as old Sol lifted his pleasant
face above the mountain, glistened and
glittered till one could almost imagine
they were i'll fairy land. 1t was beau
tiful beyond compare, and as impossi-
bic for us to describe as was the glori-
Gus sunset, which followed when the
heavens were all a flame with crimson
and gold, fold upon fold like curtains
of richest satin and lace, or the pure
lovely picture which we saw still later,
as the round, silvery moon sailed
through the heavens, Shedding its soft,
clear light over the scenery, till far as
the eye could reach, it was like beau
tiful illuminated picture. .
