 bought. 



Henry G. Born is at present with Oscar 

 Kress & Co., of this city, but intends embark- 

 ing in business for himself shortly. Brooklyn 

 will probably claim him.

PENNSYLVANIA MUSINGS. 



The Alumni Journal of March came to my 

 hand like a good letter from an old friend. 



Yes, through necessity I am sojourning in the 

 mountains of Pennsylvania, in a successful 

 effort to regain my health. The county of 

 Pike which Horace Greeley made popular in 

 that memorable expression, "There is nothing 

 in Pike County but rocks, rattle-snakes and 

 Democrats," is noted for its great natural beauty 

 and health-giving air. Here no poisonous gases 

 from factories or marshy ground contaminate 

 nature's health restorer. Milford is a mecca to 

 which invalids make their pilgrimage from con- 

 jested cities. As Whittier has said : 



"There's iron in our northern winds, 

 There's healing in our pines." 



What does one find to do in winter? It 

 might be a natural question. Mountain climb-

 door games, while away the hours of recreation. 

 The more fruitful hours, however, are those 

 spent in scientific research, and practical in- 

 formation coupled with a study of literature. 



I have just spoken of mountain climbing, and 

 in that connection wish to refer to the Sawkill 

 Falls which are near town. They are truly a 

 beautiful winter scene as they are framed ia 

 their setting of snow like masses of pearly ice. 

 The splashing water comes dashing between the 

 rough and rugged rocks, and suddenly plunges 

 thirty feet, catching and gathering its flood of 

 water in a basin some fifty feet wide; it as un- 

 expectedly leaps full eighty feet into its deep, 

 dark basin below, and wends its way in pretty^
