Mountains.

Mountains seem to have been built for the human race, as at once their schools and their cathedrals J full of treasures of illuminated manuscript for the scholar, kindly in simple les-j sons for the worker, quiet in pale cloisters tot the thinker, glorious in] holiness for the worshiper. They are great cathedrals of the earth, with their gat* of rock, pavements of cloud, choirs of stream and stone, altars of snow, and vaults of purple traversed by the continual stare.—; Ruskin. •
