Good wine needs no bosh, a good
book no preface. I wish I could say
much for my article, but following
the wake of such brilliant and accom
plished writers, I stand abashed
temerity, for I feel that my productions
will only serve as a foil to theirs, and
leave me, in the estimation of the Club,
poor indeed.

“O; could I flow Hie thee, and make

This is from Cooper’s hill.
Thence to do the continent be went,
visited Paris, of course, then Rome, next
to Egypt, whose fame like its mammies
is embalmed and shronded in the long
ago; stood at the base of Cheops and
looked up at forty centuries, mounted to
its apex and looked down upon the Nile
—the mystic river of the past. Then
he moved on, took 6ail and visited Na
ples, feasted upon its beauties. Yes,
saw Naples, and dyed—his mustache!

stood and waved her olive branch to

Argo, seized the Golden Fleece and
with Medea aboard, and by the help of
Thetis, escaped Scylla and Charybdis,
and landed with * his trophy safely at
Iolcu8. From Naples he turned his
steps towards the mountains. He stood
upon the Alps, npon the Appenines,
and drank in the silent beauties of na
ture. Witnessed the ships of the desert
with their cumbrous loads, moving
wiftly along, noiseless as fleeting spec-
res. He basked in the beams of the
dark, rolling eyes of the maidens of the
Levant, the beautiful “honris of the
heathenish heaven, described by Ma
homet, and Anacreon Moore.” The
land of the myrtle and the vine; the
land where the turtle is heard moaning
for her love; where the whang doodle
weepeth for her first born; the land
of Benlab and of Hcpsidam.
And yet he told the story over again.

trious ancestor Adam, he continued his
journey eastward in search of his tomb
that he might bedew it with loviug

Now that’s pretty, and so intelligi

paqua got the idea, “Young man, go
West, go West.”
How I would like, this evening, to
take the members of the Club to the far
west—the Yosemit© Valley, and with
them ascend Glacier Point to its top
most round, and look oat upon Sentinel
Rock, down upon the spires; Cathedral
Rock and Bridal Veil Falls, where na-

he retraced his steps. Fearing the fate
