Charm of New England Scenery.

There is something in the New Eng
land landscape. whether taken in the
lowlands or in the highlands, whether
on the seashere or among the mountains,
which is permanently attractive. 1t is
never wearisome, never monotonous. In
winter the White hills are sternly Sc
rene and beautiful in their NANTES Of
snow, and though less inviting than in
summer appeal to the imagination with
striking effect. The variety Of hill and
valley is such that even when the snow
covers the ground and nature takes on
the appearance Of uniformity the charm
of the view is not lost, but heightened.

q frosty winter morning, with heavy
clouds sweeping over the shoulders Of
Mount Washington, and the snow white
peak glistening in the sun as If 1t were

And it won't trouble you.
But If you plague 1t long enough
Some time you'll stand aghast
To see how twill avenge itself.

And If you must a quarrel havei
Come, quarrel with today. ~

The past a monster vast,

Don't quarrel with the past.
Don't pick quarrel with the past,

To fight, and so have you.
But II you willfully persist
You'll surely be outclassed,
And all your other foes will laugh.
