the brook, whose song you can hear, is
flashing with trout, and that your dog

you to come and observe the beautiful

this sort your freshness appreciation life for

is bound to be invigorated, if you are in
anything near a normal condition of

moonlcs t night to be paddled up one of
these narrow rivers, skirted with impene¬
trable bushes and weird with strange
noises, watching for the deer as he comes
down to escape the flies and nibble the
yellow lilies.
But tin re is the highest sort of ci viliza¬

day the despair of a young man who had
come to the Adirondack* for a cheap va¬

which came under my notice a few days
since. A young man in camp on a small
secluded lake was hunting the river that

Among these guides, whose services

pie- of physical manhood that I have ever
seen. I do nol exaggerate when I say
Hr * one young man in particular, whose
headquarters are at Haul Smith's is quite
the handsomest fcllov. that, could be
made. By a- oriafion with reSned pao
pie lie ha acquired the manners of a
gentleman, and his picturesque garb
and his abilities as a hunter and a guide
make of him a very romantic and
theatrical figure. He wears a large,
cartwheel hat, with a bright silk
handkerchief tied about it. a
loose flannel shirt and tight-fitting top
boot-. He is about the same figure as
John L. Sullivan, but his head is remark¬
ably beautiful. He has dark, curly hair,
hi, complexion is a deep red,and his eyes
arc gray and gentle. lie is known as the
best oarsman and fighter in the woods.
A club man from N#w York took this
handsome fellow down to New York a
few seasons ago, and wherever he went
the crowd stopped to gaze at him. He
was photographed in bis rough costume,
and more than one woman in New York
till treasures that picture. The best
thing about this Adirondack Adonis is
that he dislikes being an object of admir¬
ation,and some time ago ho declared that
henceforth he would guide only men and
old ladies, as the young girls made him
feel like a fool .and he couldn’t do his
work with any effect. While this young
man i -reckoned the best fighter in this
section and weighs considerably more
than 2U(t pounds,it is interesting to know
that “Billy” Edwards, of New York, a
professional light-weight boxer, knowing was once
brought up here, and without
who he was our handsome friend Fred
willingly accepted his invitation to
, on with him. The
g 0( Kl- na tiired guides ranged
tjjomwlves about the boat-house

pion of America lie was looked on with
tnore respect than if he had been Presi
dent, Fred tells the story to every one
and always laughs over it, Isis great voice
sounding like a contented lion's.
