Of Colorado's mnjestic creations the wonderíul granite foliation in Estes Park cali forth exelamations betokening raro pleasure froin those possessing in their heart oí' heartn a wliit of the artistic and sublime. Bare, brown granite masses rise high above the timber line, with now and then a few batches of snow to break the monotony, or contrast with the desolate, somber ime of the granite debris. Deep furrows extend down the sides of the mountains, the channel for untold ages of ice, snow and water, the agents whieh have broken down these rocky maeses, and sculptured the forms which now excite so mnch admiration. We see also the smoothly-worn sides of the mountain, covered with a sort of euamel-like. crust, as a mark of the glacial power. On the sides of the peak, at different elevations, are numerous small green lakes, reservoirs of the melting snows, with sometimes a visible outlet, and frequently without. The pines are often deod from the autumnal flres that have run through, adding to the desolation of the scène ; these falling down in every direoMon render traveling almost impossible. Sometimes no vegetation at all takes the place of the pines, after the tires have passed through them, bnt not infrequently the quaking-asp poplar, with its bright green leaves in sv.mmer, and ycllow in autumn, grow very densely, contrasting most chnrmingly with the dusky green of the living pines, and the somber brown or gray of the dead. - lioeky Mountain Tourist.
