Forest leaves . ek of November he came out, bronzed as an Indian and as hearty. In five months he had gained sixty-five pounds of flesh, and flesh, too, well packed on, as they say in thewoods. Coming out, he carried the boat over all passages; the very sameover which a few months before the guide had carried him, and pulledas strong an oar as any amateur in the wilderness. His meeting with hisfamily I leave the reader to imagine. The wilderness received him almost FOREST LEAVES 37 a corpse. It returned him to his home and the world as happy and healthya man as ever bivouacked under its pines. This, I am aware, is an extreme case, and, as such, may seemexaggerated; but it is not. I might instance many other cases which, ifless startling, are equally corrobative of the general statement. There isone sitting near me, as I write, the color of whose cheek and the clearbrightness of whose eye cause my heart to go out in ceaseless gratitudeto the woods, amid which she found that health and strength of which. Lake Titus, from Mt. Immortelle. they are the proof and sign. For five summers have we visited thewilderness. From four to seven weeks each year have we breathed thebreath of the mountains, bathed in the waters which sleep at their baseand made our couch at night of moss and balsam-boughs beneath thewhispering trees.
