of Nature the mellow notes of the horn and the 

 cry of hounds echoing amongst the crags, we can 

 say in the words of the old Roman author — 



" And from without the mountain girth. 

 Whene'er his wandering steps draw near, 

 The stranger, from whatever earth. 

 Desires the country of his birth 

 No more, but yearns to sojourn here."
