Text Appearing Before Image:
ATURE. During the past few years, wherein the Thousand Islands have suddenly become oneof the leading resorts for summer recreation, they have been prominent in the current litera-ture and pictorial illu.strations of the country. Newspapers and magazines have made themthe subject of many long and interesting articles; reporters, essayists, romancers, poetsand humorists have seemed to vie with each other in calling the attention of the public tothis place of enchantment; and the consequence is, that a vast and annually swelling tideof humanity flows that way, and many linger there from early June until late October. 2 10 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. Fair St. Lawrence! What poet has sung of its graceAs it sleeps in the sun, with its smile-dimpled faceBeaming up to the sky that it mirrors? What brushHas eer pictured the charm of the marvelous hushOf its silence, or caught the warm glow of its tintsAs the afternoon wanes, and the even-star glintsIn its beautiful depths? And what pen shall betray
Text Appearing After Image:
Ihe sweet secrets that hide from mans vision away In its solitudes wild ? Tis the river of dreams; You may float in your boat on the bloom-bordered streams, Where its islands like emeralds matchless are set. And forget that you live, and as quickly forget That they die in that world you have left; for the calm Of content is within you, the blessing of balm Is upon you forever.—Anon. THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. 11
