From City's Mountain Tops.

Upon the top OF one Of New York's
man made mountains there is the same
peaceful quiet as OH any mountain top.
No sound from the street below comes
UP this distance. Men on the sidewalks
are infinitesjmal dots, darting hither
and yon. Looking down upon them,
one is inclined to reflect what puny
beings humans are and from this lofty
point of view almost forgets his sym
pathy for their personal interests.
Then comes the realization that this
mountain was built by these puny be-
ings from materials dug out of the
earth in a crude state. purified. shaped
and fastened together iu manner
that will m:.,,.e 1t sand practically for
all time. and then a feeling Of rever-
ence for the human brain-tAat God
