Got up into the region of snow to-day, and have passed several snow banks alongside of the road in the ravines.

It was now the month of May, but there were deep snow banks still in the ravines on the north side of the river.

The sun was shining pleasantly, but the ground was wet, being covered with streams and pools of water, and melting snow-banks.

The rays of sunshine struck warmly across the snow banks piled on each side of the narrow path they were treading.

Got $5 for a tale and $12 for sewing; sent home a Christmas-box to cheer the dear souls in the snow-banks.
