We once more stopped under a bridge for refreshments, and took our time, knowing the train would not go on without us.  By four o’clock we were across the mountain, having passed from the water-shed of the Delaware into that of the Hudson.  The next eight miles we had a down grade but a rough road, and during the last half of it we had blisters on the bottoms of our feet.  It is one of the rewards of the pedestrian that, however tired he may be, he is always more or less refreshed by his journey.  His physical tenement has taken an airing.  His respiration has been deepened, his circulation quickened.  A good draught has carried off the fumes and the vapors.  One’s quality is intensified; the color strikes in.  At noon that day I was much fatigued; at night I was leg-weary and footsore, but a fresh, hardy feeling had taken possession of me that lasted for weeks.
