OF THE BEAUTY OF OUR FORESTS 



I may say but little at this time. Tlie full beauty is best appreciated by the 

 student who knovrs and studies each one as friend talks to friend. To enjoy 

 the full beauties of our forest scenery, it is necessary that one should possess a 

 good knowledge of botany, landscape gardening, and to know something of 

 drawing and painting. To such a person, a trip through the forests is a per- 

 petual delight, which cannot be understood by tlie uninitiated. The mixtures 

 of evergreens and deciduous-leaved trees, the shrubs, the autumn tints, the 

 streams, tlie hills and valleys, our beautiful lakes with the different seasons of 

 the year, and different phasas of the wcatiier, lend a perjjetual charm and fresh- 

 ness to our Michio^an woodlands.
