THE MOUNTAIN SCENERY OF NEW LONDON .*
From the exacting duties of a busy professional life and the some- times uncongenial surroundings of a great city, I often look back with joy to the days spent among the hills of New London, amid the scenes of perennial beauty. In my school days I learned to love the place, and in vacation seasons of after life, with spirit becalmed and tranquil, I have there found days of rest and contact with nature, and stored up strength and sunshine for another year of labor; and the memory of those highland scenes has lightened the work of many an otherwise tedious hour. Those days seem to me now the flower and adornment of the passing years, wherein I had revealed to me anew something of the " divine significance of life." Born and reared in New Hamp- shire, I love her mountains with a tender passion ; in some mysterious, but not the less real, way I am related to them ; and I know they have left their impress and influence forever upon the soul and fibre of my being.

APPENDIX.
I consider it a singularly beautiful compensation of nature that, while New London has no mountain of its own, the town should be so rich in mountain scenery, being on this account unique and very charming. And this, in a measure, is true of the lowlands as well as of the hilltops in the neighborhood. I have spent some of the hap- piest and most profitable days of my life among the White Mountains, where the elements of quiet beauty mingle with sublime grandeur, and whose deep and sombre gorges unite with precipitous crags and peaks and gentle woodland slopes to make up some of the finest scenery in America ; but I always return to New London with a new sense of gladness to be there, and find some features of its scenery that are unsurpassed in all the mountain region.
New London has often been written about by admiring friends, and charming sketches of the town and of its citizens have been published ; but I have seen but very little of note, such as the place deserves, touching its finer and more distant mountain views. And my only excuse now for writing is the hope that a new and adequate interest may be awakened in one of the most beautiful regions of the state. What I shall here briefly describe is the result of observation with map and compass and field-glass during two or three vacation periods, and verified, as I have had opportunity, from different view-points as they presented. New London Hill is the culmination of a long ridge or uplift of land that has its beginning in the town of Sutton, rising with steady grade and with lines of gentle curve, and reaching its highest point near the site of the " Old Academy."
The older name of this is Colby Hill, and inasmuch as this is the business and educational and religious centre of the vicinity, it is the most important, though not the highest, of the series of uplands that determine the topography of the town, and all along its ridge are dis. tant views of unusual interest, embracing within their farthest limits a territory more than one hundred miles in extent.
Should any one wish to see the points of interest I am about to mention, and take the trip which I here suggest, let me advise him not to go while the summer crops are growing, lest he trample down the farmers' grass and they henceforth refuse the use of their land for such purposes as mountain gazing.
Starting, for convenience, at the Campus we shall see almost due north, twenty miles away, Mt. Cardigan as one of the sentinel out- posts of all this region, towering bleak and bare in its solitary grandeur, at the east of which, and in the nearer foreground, are the hills of New London and Wilmot beyond Lake Pleasant. Looking over the northern ridge of Ragged mountain we see, probably, a part of Red Hill, the crown of all the elevations near Centre Harbor. Next comes Ragged mountain, our old friend and neighbor, which never appears

half so beautiful as when in summer the clouds play over its surface and mingle the sunshine and shadow into a mottled covering upon its wooded sides. Beyond Ragged, low-lying against the horizon, are the fertile fields of Andover and Sanbornton, at the right of which are the round-top peaks of Belknap, which slope gently down into pleasant lesser hills at the right. Crossing now the wall near the campus and entering the field of the Colby farm, and continuing our course towards the red house on the so-called " Captain Andrews " place, let us keep a sharp lookout over the old red house down the back road, for here the bold Alpine peak of Chocorua first bursts into view and claims our attention nearly fifty miles away-a mountain almost as famous and as much written about as Mt. Washington itself.
Go on beside the wall towards Alvin Messer's lane, and watch the full form of Chocorua appear, crouching as it does like a massive lion at repose, with head uplifted and with the bare, sunlit ledges forming its tawny breasts and sides-one of the finest bits of distant scenery I have ever beheld. At the left of Chocorua as we advance the hills of Bristol and New Hampton rise prominently in the foreground, a fit set- ting to the gem beyond.
Once I saw Chocorua from relatively the same position, when all of the mountain that could be discerned was the bare, brownish white ledges, as it were, suspended by invisible cords let down from heaven, even the outlines of the mountain itself having disappeared in the hazy atmosphere of a dog-day. It was, indeed, a weird picture. Viewed from whatever standpoint one pleases, Chocorua is one of the most fascinating and attractive peaks in New Hampshire, though I must confess it appears rather forbidding to the one attempting to ascend the last quarter mile to its summit. Advance a few rods more, and the great mass of Whiteface and Passaconaway appears to view, their outlines so intermingling from this point that the two are seen as one, with no line of division between. Cross the Messer lane and go on to a point near the old, red house, watching still in the northeast for the double summit of Sandwich Dome, which rises 4,070 feet above the sea and is forty miles away. One peak of the stately Tri- pyramid peers over its northern ridge, while a little further to the left, like a "mastoid process," rises Jennings's peak. Now leave for a little the more distant scenes and turn with kindly greetings towards Kearsarge, so grand and kingly. Probably there is no place where Kearsarge stands out so impressively and in so grand proportions as here, nor where the eye can watch so gladly the changing hues of light and shade upon its broad western side. Behold its great bulk upraised there, standing since the foundation of the world, and consider what it means of God when it is said, " The strength of the hills is his also." From this point Kearsarge is an ideal mountain, all that a

mountain should be, with its bare and rocky summit upreared to heaven, with its densely wooded slopes running down into fertile fields belonging to goodly homes, the earth there yielding her bounteous increase to the patient toil of man.
Then, too, see what a rare and beautiful setting for such a gem as Kearsarge, with the fair village of Wilmot Flat low nestling at its base serenely, while in the nearer foreground lie the broad, green acres of the Low Plain Farms-the Shepard homestead-a veritable "apple of gold in a picture of silver." A more beautiful home scene and country landscape I have yet to find.
Leave now the old red house and follow along the ridge through the Prescott farm to the road near Mr. Ashby's house, first noting the exquisite view of the abrupt and rolling hills about Warner, Bradford, and Washington, and looking back for a parting salute to Chocorua, as it disappears behind Ragged mountain. Cross the road at the Ashby house and go through the Crockett field (the first behind the road), cross the second stone wall, and advance to a point two thirds across the second field (which belongs to Mr. Adelbert Messer), whence can be seen, if the day be sufficiently clear, the apex of the cone of Mt. Washington, seventy miles away, peering over the eastward slope of Alexandria mountain beyond Danbury. Mt. Washington is distinctly visible from the neighborhood of Todd's Corner, a very fine view being had in the road between the houses of Nelson and Frank Todd, though it can be seen half way down the hill towards Mr. Shepard's, and also from Mr. Shepard's barn. Once I had the pleasure of viewing this stately distant mountain from the tall pine tree standing at the corner of Mrs. L. H. Fowler's house, having climbed sixty-seven feet up its sturdy trunk to verify my opinion that Mt. Washington could be seen from that point. By far the best lowland view of the King of the White Hills is near the farm - house of the late Charles Fowler on the Sutton road, twenty-five or thirty rods south of the barn. Many times have I seen it, bold and distinct in the pellucid air after the clearing of a storm, a magnificent peak ; or again, through a medium less clear, with its rugged form and outline softened by the tender grace of distance ; and again in late autumn, when the face of the earth elsewhere was sere and brown, hooded in ermine snow, this giant towered more grandly and impressively than ever, belonging as much to heaven as to earth.
If, now, you have seen all this, retrace your steps and return from Todd's Corner to New London Hill by the regular stage road from Sutton, observing several more interesting and prominent mountains to the westward as you advance. At the southeast lies Mt. Sunapee, with its irregular ridge, then Ascutney to the west, with several quite lofty peaks of the Green Mountains visible beyond, probably Pico,

Killington, and Shrewsbury, being the three highest. Croyden and Grantham are farther to the north, the two portions of the former range being separated by a well-defined notch, wherein lies the road leading to the Notch or west gate of Corbin Park.
Thus in this short excursion can be seen some seventeen mountains, varying in distance from six or seven to seventy miles, and all to be had without ascending a mountain or even climbing a hill.
This is from New London Hill proper. Very fine views, I am told, may be had also from Morgan, Jones, and Burpee hills. These, too, I hope some time to discover and enjoy for myself. Perhaps at another time I may have something to write of the prospect from King's hill.
