Soda Springs. This was the gem
of the evening and we gladly give il
space below:
Near the ever capped mountains,
Far to northward, far to westward,
Where the snowy shroud Of winter
Lieth long upon the valleys;
Where the northwtnd Flows his cold
breath
Through the ICY pines and cedars,
Lies quiet little village.
Sleeping meath it's snowy cover;
Guarded by the mounty sentry
That encircles it complete.
To the south stands bold Mt. Sherman,
To the north the fair Mt. Pisgah;
And beyond, by clouds enshronded.
White with snow and black with pine
trees
Cariboo, the miser monarch,
