"What th<strong>in</strong>k you of <strong>the</strong> grandeur of <strong>the</strong> Grand<br />

Prairie, Anna~" said Alonzo, turn<strong>in</strong>g a glance upon<br />

<strong>the</strong> lovely girl by his side, who sat absorbed and lost<br />

<strong>in</strong> contemplation ..<br />

"Oh, 'tis <strong>in</strong>effably sublime I" she exclaimed. "How<br />

<strong>in</strong>spir<strong>in</strong>g I how enraptur<strong>in</strong>g I and how condemnatory<br />

of <strong>the</strong> cloistered life I With<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> gloomy walls of.<br />

<strong>the</strong> convent I was a stranger to <strong>the</strong> delicious sentiments<br />

that now fill my m<strong>in</strong>d while gaz<strong>in</strong>g upon<br />

this display of <strong>the</strong> wisdom, <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>itude and glory of<br />

God I"<br />

our eyes <strong>the</strong> beauties and sublimities of nature."<br />

eyes."<br />

"'T is not every m<strong>in</strong>d that has."<br />

"I shouldn't wonder; but say, have you no admiration<br />

of this sublime scenery ~"<br />

" Certa<strong>in</strong>ly; I th<strong>in</strong>k it pretty."<br />

" Pretty, do you say ~ That is by no means an<br />

appropriate word to represent such magnificence."<br />

"Why, don't you say it's pretty W"<br />

"A great deal more than pretty."
