A MOUNTAIN CLIMB

\ party bound for the Old Rag left
Glen Farm. the home OF MT.W. ID. Henry,
in Rappahannock county recently. We
had Intended to reach the Summit before
sunrise. but our guide, Mountain Joe,
refused To attempt the climb until day
break. so we missed seeing the glOrles Oi
sunrise from the top OF the Old Rag.
Our road ran for "A considerable dis
tance along the banks oi Hughes river. a
beautiful mountain stream, whose
waters are clear as crystal and nearly a
cold as ice. Mile alter mile our road
wound amongst towering peaks, and
surrounded by beautiful scenery, wild
and picturesque, and though ol continual
ascent. yet il was smoother than many
roads of the valleys below. Reaching
the home OF Mr. Herbert Weakley, the
highest point we could go Oh horseback,
our inward Journey on foot began, up,
M a few steps then halt, TO rest the

didlv. and in spite Oi the iatigues Oi the

Forward we~.Were climbing over huge
boulders. now slipping on loose moss
covered rocks Al length We gained the
top. -,
The view is simply grand. Though n
haze somewhat Obscured our view, yet
we could see aud distinguish many
familiar objects miles away. lis said
that Washington City and Fredercks-
burp can both be seen with a good glass
on a clear day.
We stood.on the brink OF a precipice
hundreds of feet high. SO high that tall
noplar trees at the base OF cliff looked
no larger than bushes To the right, a
few hundred yards from where westood,
rose a conical shaped rock, as clear cut
as though done by the hand Of man, ris-
inc TO the height Of 70 or 100 feet. This
rock. il is said, has never been scaled.
'Tis named the "Sugarloaf. Wefound
our decent even more difiicultthan going

were tired out, but happy in the thought
that we had stood on the summit of the
famous Old Rag that has defied the
storms OF ages. b.
