And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
Woods or steepy mountains, yield."

lift their heads far up into the sky, and gaze ever upward and

Preface
And now, how can I suitably apologize for having inflicted another book on the reading public? I would not attempt it but that it is the custom among authors. And, come to think of it, I guess I won't attempt it anyway. I will merely say, by way of excuse, that my former literary efforts, especially my "Rustlings in the Rockies," have brought me in sundry dollars, in good and lawful money, which I have found very useful things to have about the house. If this volume shall meet with an equally kind reception at the hands of book buyers, I shall feel that, after all, I am not to blame for having written it.
THE AUTHOR.
CHICAGO, MARCH, 1889.
