The century illustrated monthly magazine . or this land. Hard is the heart, dullis the mind, and weak is the will of the manwho does not strive to secure wise institutionsfor the developing world of America. The lofty peaks of the arid land are silveredwith eternal rime; the slopes of the mountainsand the great plateaus are covered with forestgroves; the hills billow in beauty, the valleysare parks of delight, and the deep canons thrillwith the music of laughing waters. Over themall a clear sky is spread, through which thelight of heaven freely shines. Clouds rarelymask the skies, but come at times like hostsof winged beauty floating past, as they changefrom gray to gold, to crimson, and to gorgeouspurple. The soul must worship these glories,yet with the old Scotch poet I can exclaim: It s rare to see the morning bleeze,Like a bonfire frae the sea;It s fair to see the burnie kissThe lip o the flowry lea;An fine it is on green hillside,Where hums the bonnie bee,But rarer, fairer, finer farIs the ingleside for me.
