The sunlight;^ilding the mountain-tops about us, and the play of sunlightand shadow on their slopes, is very charming. Below us, toI he north, and only a few rods away, the ripples are laughingand sparkling on a charming lake three miles in circumference,\ where we mean to have a boat-ride soon.

At one place it dashes overa precipice of a thousand feet, and falls in feathery spray at the foot.
