reached, and who could notify next-

THE LAKE ON THE MOUNTAIN
High up the shaggy hillside, toil-
some, steep,
It crowns the mountain's solitary
treat,
Where bordering trees in their
embrasure keep
This sanctuary frons a world dis-
tressed;
Here travellers from evefy land
lave stood
To gaze in admiration on the
scene—
The Bay of Quinte -far below out
spread-- .
The peaceful hamlet nestling be-
tweee---
To dream perchance of pioneering
days
And of the Bret discoverer's de-
• light
When, scaling tortuous path and
tangled, maze .
This blue expanse lay shimmering
on his sight!
