Aud now my pleasant task is done;It brings back many a glorious run,Emerging from the lambent hazeWhich circles round the camp-fires blaze,Revealing to fond memorys eyeThe dear departed scenes gone by,When limbs were lithe aud arms were strong,And life one gladsome burst of song—Revealing, mid unfading sheen,The runway in the forest green; The antlerd monarchs springing bound;The matchless music of the headlong on the steaming scent,With instinct true as steel, he went!The gaze into the spreading breaking twig, the rifles quivering limb, the closing eye—The forests dying majesty!. THE WOODLAND CARIBOU. By Dr. R. B. Cantrell.
