inclination, and cross Long Bridge and rendezvous 

 for the day in some old earthwork on the Virginia 

 hills. The roads are not so inviting in this direc 

 tion, but the line of old forts with rabbits burrowing 

 in the bomb-proofs, and a magazine, or officers' 

 quarters turned into a cow stable by colored squat 

 ters, form an interesting feature. But, whichever 

 way I go, I am glad I came. All roads lead up to 

 the Jerusalem the walker seeks. There is every 

 where the vigorous and masculine winter air, and 

 the impalpable sustenance the mind draws from all 

 natural forms.
