At the approach of twilight ^ue stood on the top-most rock of 

 Satula Mountain about 7c>hich, as a great luibrokcn ring^ roiv 

 after row, arise the mountains ; for so is this peak encircled by 

 the great Appalachian system. To our view the most distant 

 ones appeared as though blending with the sky, 7vhile those 

 nearer becaine more clear until was reached t lie green ve7'dure at 

 our feet, ^^or were these mountaifis si7nply an undulatory 

 line. Ruggedly and individually formed, each peak had with- 

 al a look hu?nane and friendly. Betwee?i the rocks 7vere fresh 

 flowers, and higher than all else a pine, stunted and forlorn, 

 raised its ungainly branches.
