Excerpt from Fourth Book of Reading Lessons: With Illustrations From Giacomelli and Other Eminent Artists

The immigrant arrived at Quebec when the summer is breaking, already finds his yearnings for the dear Old Land half charmed away by the lovely landscapes of the New; though, all unconsciously, he will still Often find himself hum ming The Bells of Shandon, or Lochaber no More. As heascends the mighty River and traverses our inland Seas, and so gets into the great current of our national life, his sympathies with Canada deepen and broaden. He soon wins for himself a snug nest under the greenwood tree or out upon the prairie. His Opened eye learns the Indian woodcraft, and his quickened ear distinguishes kindly voices in the solitudes. He' gratefully enjoys the bracing air, the brilliant sunshine, the moonlight sleeping, on the forestside, the glories Of our Indian summer. And when winter breathes cold upon him from the White North - from Franklin's grave - the pioneer keenly enjoys by his back-log fire the tuneful pages that tell him how the first bold adventurers came over to win the American wilds, and how the red-cross flag came to float over so much Of this broad earth.
