Show where xhe;sujv wkvkrsets. The following paragraph is from the description of a scene witnessed by Mr. CampMI nnd parlv in the north of iN or way, from a cliff one thousand feet above tho sea : The ocean stretched away in silent vastoess at our feet; the sound ot the waves scarcely reached our airy lookout; look-out; away in the north the huije old sun swung low in tho horizon, like the slow beat of the pendulum in the tall clock of our grandiather's parlor cor-nor. cor-nor. Wo all stood silent, looking at our watches. When both hands came together, at 12 at midnight, the full, round orb, hung triumphanily above the wave, a bridgo of gold, running due north, and spanning the water between be-tween us aud him. There he shone in silent majesty that knew no setting. We involuntarily took off our hats, and no word was said. Combine, if you can, the most brilliant sunrise and sunset sun-set you ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which now lit up the ocean, heaven and mountain. In half an hour the sun had swung by perceptibly in its beat, tho colors changed to those of morning, morn-ing, a fresh breeze rippled over the floor, one songster after another piped up'in the trees behind us and we slid into another day. |
