ADVENTURES IN THE FAR WEST.

BY EMERSON BENNETT.

AUTHOR OF "THE FOREST ROSE," "THE BANDITS OF THE OSAGE," "THE TRAITOR," "OLIVER GOLDFINCH," "KATE CLARENDON,"

But O, the blooming prairie,
Here are God's floral bowers,
Of all that he hath made on earth
The loveliest * * *
This is the Almighty's garden,
And the mountains, stars and sea,
Are nought compared in beauty,
With God's garden prairie free.
