ON THE NYARLING 137 varies continually and is always beautiful. Every- thing that I have said of the Little Buffalo applies to the Nyarling with fourfold force, because of its more varied scenery and greater range of bird and other life. Sometimes, like the larger stream, it presents a long, straight vista of a quarter-mile through a sol- emn aisle in the forest of mighty spruce trees that tower a hundred feet in height, all black with gloom, green with health, and gray with moss. Sometimes its channel winds in and out of open grassy meadows that are dotted with clumps of rounded trees, as in ah English park. Now it nar- rows to a deep and sinu- ous bed, through alders so rank and reaching that they meet overhead and form a shade of golden green; and again it widens out into reedy lakes, the summer home of countless Ducks, Geese, Tattlers Terns, Peetweets, Gulls, Rails, Blackbirds, and half a hundred of the lesser tribes. Sometimes the fore- ground is rounded masses of kinnikinnik in snowy flower, or again a far-strung growth of the needle. Senecio.
