FTlhere are no words that can tell the hidden 

 J. spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its 

 mystery, its melancholy, and its charm. There is 

 delight %i the hardy life of the open, in long rides 

 , rifle in hand, in the thrill of the fight with danger- 

 ous game. Apart from this, yet mingled with it, 

 is the strong attraction of the silent places, of the 

 large tropic moons, and the splendour of the new 

 stars; where the wanderer sees the awful glory of 

 sunrise and sunset in the wide waste spaces of the 

 earth, unworn of man, and changed only by the 

 slow changes of the ages from time everlasting.
