A JUNE DAY.

We were standing on the summit
OF n snow-capped mountain. Around
us the loftier peaks tOwefcd against
the misty blue of the morning sky.
Each leaf and blossom was spang-
led with dew-drops. and the trees
whispered together as they caught
the first faint breeze Of morning
Looking toward the east. across the
distant mountains. the eye discerned
faint clouds appearing above their
SUBMITS and seeming to cast rose
colored lights across the snow.
The faint glow dceDens. and over
distant peak slender, crimson
line is seen, which grows larger and
larger. and the sun bursts forth in
all his radiance, bringing day in
his train.
Later. turning towa,M the west. we
saw the home lights cleaning out
In the evening light. heard the night
songs OF the birds. saw the fields
OF golden wheat ripping twiNt its
messy banks. its waters rejecting
the many coiored clouds OF the sun
settle purple OF royalty. the gold
OF glory and the crimson OF pride.
Behind the rJOfs OF the village the
sun descended. like Il golden hall OF
ire. TOWARD the horizon. The shad-
cws deepen. the light grows fainter,
and twilight comes.
