gratitude or inexcusable stoi
cism tbs t lets this flue weather
pan without recognizing it by
some apt words of befitting
praise1 Here in Ortnde Ronde
valley, half way from the equa
tor to the North Pole, a half a
mile above the level of old ocean
surrounded by forest girdled
snow capped mountain we are
having sunshine brighter than
Italy by day,' are over spread
with a starry elorv by niaht
equal in splendor to that of
Cbaldea, and air to breath aro
matio with the odor of bloom
and refreshed with coolness
from the mountain glens and
shadowy foreats, The writer
hereof bat wandered along the
Pacific coast iu midsummer
from near the Mexican line to
Puget Sound without finding as
pleasant days and refreshing
nights as we are now having
and each summer do have . in

The man, who moves into a
new country and secures . pos
session of a large tract of land
and does nothing to improve it,
but listlessly waits , for bis
neighbors, by their labor, to
enchance its value, cannot be
styled a public benefactor, and
many people will regard him as
an nndesirable citizen.
