The girl, her mother's message in her hands, gift from the chest that owned the golden key, sat reading the writing of the dead. "My daughter: They tell me I must die. I know it, for a chill, strange to my blood, is creeping through and thickening in my veins. It is the old tale told from the beginning of the world--of warm blood frozen when 'tis warmest, and beauty blasted at its fullest bloom. For I am at that age when woman's nature gives most and gets most from sun and flower, from touch of baby hands and man's strong love, and all the blood within her moves, tremulous with forces whose working makes her pure and sweet, as moves the strong wine in the cask when ripening its red strength and flavor. O daughter of a race that never lied save for a loved one! blood of my blood, remember that your mother died hating to die; died when life was fullest, sweetest, fiercest in her; for life is passionate force, and when full is fierce to crave, to seek, to have and hold, and has been so since man loved woman and by woman was beloved. And so it is with me. A woman, I crave to live, and, craving life, must die. "Death! how I hate thee! What right hast thou to claim me now when I am at my sweetest? The withered and the wrinkled are for thee. For thee the colorless cheek, the shriveled breast, the skinny hand that shakes as shakes the leaf, frost smitten to its fall, the lusterless eye, and the lone soul that looketh longingly ahead where wait its loved ones; such are for thee, not I. For I am fair and fresh and full through every vein of those quick forces, which belong to life, and hate the grave. This, that you may know your mother died unwillingly, and dying hated death, as all of the old race and fai...

And he marvelled because of their unbelief. M akk ti. 9. I WISH to speak to you this evening touching the relation of Christianity to unbelief; not the unbelief of the Jews, but the unbelief of A mericans, the unbelief of New England. Men say that scepticism is on the increase. I doubt it mysel I think that error has seen its best estate in our country, that it has reached, especially here in New England, its highest flood-mark, a current henceforth will shrink, not swell; it is already on the ebb. The causes of this decline are many and evident. I cannot now enumerate them. I will only say, in brief, that error at the start in this State was fortunate in two things: first, its leadership, it could show a wonderful array of great names in its support; and, second, it was fortunate in the peculiar circumstances and conditions of the public mind. Neither of these advantages belong to it to-day. It is weak in great names. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Keeseville route to partiesntering the wilderness from Lake Champlain. Since its publication, information has reached him of such a nature as to induce the recommendation of the Plattsburg route as well. The latter is comparatively an easy route. From Plattsburg cars run to Point of Rocks; (or A usable Forks), intersecting the Keeseville road, and sadng some sixteen miles of unpleasant staging from Port Kent. At Fouquet s Hotel, Plattsburg, every facility for rest and preparation can be had. At Point of Rock pa,rtie.s cn arrange to meet their means of conveyance to Martin s, Smith s, Bartlett s, and other houses at St. Regis. I nvalids, or persons not in robust health, who may venture upon this trip, will find Plattsburg a pleasant and convenient place for recuperation before cutting loose from all the amenities of civilization. The author would particularly advise all parties, before starting, to engage by letter conveyance from Point of Rocks to their destination.

The sun had already passed from sight, beyond the white summits above us, and the shadow of the monstrous mountain range darkened the prairie to the east, to the horizon's rim. Our bivouac was made in a grove of lofty firs, six or eight in number; and a little rivulet, trickling from the upper slopes, fell, with soft lapsing sound, within a few feet of our camp-fire. We did not even pitch a tent, for the sky was mild, and above us the monstrous trees lifted their protecting canopy of stems. The hammocks were swung for the ladies, and each gentleman " preempted " the claim that suited him best, by depositing his blanket and rifle upon it. The entire party were in the best of spirits, and nature responded to our happiness in its kindest mood. Laughter sounded pleasantly at intervals from the busy groups, each working at some self-appointed industry. The hum of cheerful conversation mingled with the murmurs of the brook; and now and then the snatch of some sweet song would break from tuneful lips, brief, spirited, melodious as a bobolink's, dashing upward from the cloverheads. And before the mighty shadow lying gloomily on the great prairie plain, which stretched eastward for;i thousand miles, had grown to darkness, the active, happy workers had given to the bivouac that look of designed orderliness which a trained party always give to any spot they select in which to make a camp or pass a night. An hour before, there was nothing to distinguish that grove of trees, or the ground beneath them, from any other spot or hill within the reach of eye. But now it commanded the landscape; and, had you been trailing over the vast plain, the bright firelight, the ...

Born in Guilford, Connecticut, he graduated from Yale in 1862 and then served as a minister in Greenwich, Connecticut and Meriden, Connecticut.
He also served as pastor of Park Street Church in Boston from 1868 to 1874. He also delivered Sunday evening lectures about the Adirondacks in a Boston music-hall that proved highly popular, and he published a series of articles based on the lectures in a Meriden newspaper. In 1869, they were published as a book, Adventures in the Wilderness.
Or, Camp-Life in the Adirondacks.
The literary tone of the book made it extremely successful. lieutenant went through eight printings in its first year.
Murray promoted New York"s north woods as health-giving and spirit-enhancing, claiming that the rustic nobility typical of Adirondack woodsmen came from their intimacy with wilderness. A subsequent printing, subtitled Tourist"s Edition, included maps of the region and train schedules from various Eastern cities to the Adirondacks.
Although the book was to become one of the most influential books in the conservation movement of the 19th century, paradoxically, within five years it led to the building of over 200 "Great Camps" in the Adirondacks.
"Murray’s Fools" poured into the wilderness each weekend, packing specially scheduled railroad trains. The book is cited as changing common parlance to use "vacation" instead of the British "holiday" for people vacating their city homes.
