Those that pass the
examination glide into the building along the gentle incline, and are
switched off here and there upon branch runs, and distributed to all
parts of the immense interior."

But when in the forest bare and old
The blast of December calls,
He builds in the starlight clear and cold
A palace of ice where his torrent falls.
_William Cullen Bryant._

Where the frost trees shoot with leaf and spray
And frost gems scatter a silver ray.
_William Cullen Bryant._

How fair the thronging pictures run,
What joy the vision fills--
The star-glow and the setting sun
Amid the northern hills.
_Benjamin F. Leggett._

Passing west of the Hudson Flats we see North Bay, crossed by the _New
York Central Railroad_. Kinderhook Creek meets the river about three
miles north of Hudson, directly above which is Stockport Station for
Columbiaville. Four Mile Light-house is now seen on the opposite bank.
Nutten Hook, or Coxsackie Station, is four miles above Stockport.
