About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: OVER THE MOUNTAINS. There are outings and outings, many and varied, from the primitive camp, where simplicity and lazy content go hand in hand, down through all the intervening grades of summering to the ultra-fashionable seaside resort, where style and gayety spread and sparkle with eager restlessness, but is there any outing that is more satisfactory than a first trip over the mountains, over and down into the gray wastes beyond, known as Nevada ? As we climb up the great slopes the mind experiences an elation that soon grows into a buoyancy almost painful at the gradually unfolding beauties of the upper altitudes. Heaven seems no further away than the crowded tree-tops that beckon and whisper and sing to each other away up there above our heads, and playfully fret the flying brook by dropping cones upon its spray- flecked lips. The flowers spill their fragrance on the air and bloom and bloom on every sunny slope, and peep their heads from every rocky crevice on the heights until nature no longer affords them a foothold on her battlements and they creep back to find an asylum where the ever tender moss encircles the gnarled roots of the old forest trees. The dying summer sifts through the air the spice needles of the pines, and so covers them fromsight, while the delicate banners of fern wave over them in tremulous sympathy their lacy fabrics of green. And now Nature, the yearning mother who still longs to hold the hearts of her children, stars, like an afterglow, the open spaces with rich browns and yellows and the tell-tale blush of leaves at the frost's familiar touch. Down in the gorge the tumbling rivulet shows a laughing face and through shimmer and shadow darts in and out and down, and away, until, when the day has gone and stars have come, it lays its weary head...
