THE HILL.

|
A stroll on The Hill one sunny
afternoon with life's cares behind
made me glad that | lived in this
pleasant world, in fair Idaho, and es-
pecially in the lovely Clearwater val.
ley The grass fresh and green, the
flowers bright and fragrant, and the
birds happy in mirthful song, cheered
my light forward steps as escaped
the city Of business with its worry and
noise a mild breeze, pure as the
breath of Il rose, came across the cool,
gliding stream over the green.carpeted
plain and from the pure salt sea to
fan my fevered brow and to fill my
lungs with new life. The grand rivers
were bright in the new light of the
sun of spring like silver untarnished
with aught that is impure. The near
hills were brown and the mountains
were white with snow and blue along
the corrugated crests.
Dust and mire enthrall the heart:
the fair, clean plain, with its fragrance
OF nature, fill the soul with noble SEN
tlment. This new home edition of
Lewiston ennobles the visitor, and
much more must this be the condition
OF the one who dwelIs in peace amid
the charming attributes. Above the
glinting stream, the stony beach that
suggests baroness, and above the busy
streets with their worry, is a circular
terrace like the tabled battlement from
which the angels hurled back the cares
that came to torment the souls of the
blessed in Altrusia.
There is inspiration in the thought
OF an elevated position. Height is
symbolic of greatness, grandeur, nob,l-
ity. AS / looked upon limitless nat
ural beauty realized the blessings of
freedom. The confines of the field of
every day occupation are but prison
walls. Escape from confinement is
not in distance nor respite IN idle
days. True liberty comes to the soul
from noble inspirations. All mankind

munion with the gra ndeur of natural
scenery. There is charm about IL
new home on the unmarried sod, where
the wild flowers nod to the twittering
birds and the green grass invites the
un.restrained romp Of frolcsome child
hood for moment while time Is
turned back in its fight.
Oh!cOuld our homes ever remain new
bright and sweet like the new homes
on The Hill what a heaven this earth
would be. The mold of years brings
decay to the moral nature of man.
The bright sunlight and the broad un.
fenced meadows give us strength and
broaden our intelligence. All the
conditions of happiness are present in
a home on The HILL
