BY CAPT.UN C.YBNES.
At Vancouver's Point, it is said, there
is one of the most be-mtiful scenes on the
Columbia river. In the midst of a love
ly meadow i.s a silver sheet, or lake of
water, with many wild fowls sporting in
the limpid waves. A range of W'ooded
hills is capped or crowned by Mount
Hood, a Magnificent mountainous peak,
covered with snow.
From Point Vancouver the river be
come.? more contracted -and rapiii, with
frequent islands and sand banks. On
these island.? are numerous ponds which
at certain seasons of tlie year, have their
waters stirred and eddied by flocks of
geese, brandt, cranes, giilis, and the peer-
lessswan. The closely woode.I and rushy
shores atford them choice feeding grounds,
and make an almost impassable barrier
for the sportsman.
Some miles above Vancouver's Point
the mountains approach both sides of the
river, which is bordered by mighty prec
ipices, on which grow the white cedar and
fir. An occasional cascade leaps down
as necessary as they i re wonderful in
; sight and inilnence. They facilitale the
improvement of the moral faculties, and
fill the heart with a lively sense of tlie ex
istence ol, and a gratitude to God for life
and blessings. Who' can look ujioii the
lofty mountains and not feel a thrill of
emotion at tlie grandeur oi the sight, and
, a reverence for their Maker, who laid
I their everlasting foundation ? Wlio can
survey the valleys of the eartli. teeming
with rich production and waving with
golden harvests, and not think of the
goodness and mercy of the Lord? Who
can teel the healthful rays of the charita
ble sun, or listen to the weird rains de-
Ecending, of which the poet has said—
"Every tinkle on the shhiglo
Finds an echo in the heaj-t,”
and not be haunted with a beautiful spir
it of worship for Him who bids the rains
descend and tiie suns to shine on the rich
and pioor alike? The morn and her train
pour their gentle influences into the heart.
Autumn teaches us to prepare for
death, and the symbols of Masonry teach
us to meet on the level, walk by the
plumb, act by the square, and ever be
ready to become subjects for a funeral
song. What Mason can look upon our
symbols and not feel a spell, which caus
es to think of some spiritual Jordan far
beyond the skies, where, at last, he hopes
to meet the Grand Master and receive a
welcome into the inner chamber?
Think of these things—ever walk iip-
rightly before God and man, squaring
your actions by the square of virtue, and
remembering you are passing up the
river of life to that undiscovered country
where you know not Low your mystic
