Let us 60 into the woods. and &c,

Let us 60 into the woods. and get
away from the mass Of humanity;-from
the desperate life drive; from the rush of
crowds; from the Babel of Tongues the
only wag to censure; from the binding
glare of the glittering Dollar whose
mimic Eagles talons are at the throat of
Life; from false loves. false friends, and
terror and the Toll of Cities whose
thunder.clouds hide God. Let US take a
day off with the Thrush and the song
thrilled Mockingbird. in dreamy depths
of daisies, by rppled rivers and inviolate
vines; let US dedicate one day of bright,
barbara splendor, with echoes of "ances-
trail voice." In other words-let's 60 a
fishing.
