Ninth Letter. The English lake district embraces a remarka- ble variety of charming resorts, where one might exhaust a month and then be scarcely able to say that he Imd seen everything. In- asmuch ns we devoted far less time than that to the task, it hardly could be expected that onr knowledge of the district is limitless. Still, we saw enough to satisfy us that the charms of the place have not been greatly exaggerated. We have finer l ikes nnd grander Mountain- in America, but I doubt if there is such a succes- sion cf natural beauty as one encounters here. First wc made stop at Kendal, an attractive city gilt about on every hand by hills of brightest green. The King’s Arms tavern re- ceived us, and in a comfortable room with a gigantic feather-bed we washed off the marks of our late encounter with dirty railway trains. It was market day in the town, and the streets were thronged with every species of English rustic, from tlic burly fanner and his buxom wife, to the maiden in ribbons bedecked and the uncouth hobbledehoy with enormous feet and a countenance that reminded you of a howl of blanc-mangc that somebody bad inadvertently sat down upon. Booths of various sorts lined the streets, where were displayed for sale every kind of merchandise likely to attract the rural buyer. It seemed to me that the amount of business transactions were hardly commensur- ate with the number of booths, but it may be that 1 didn’t understand tlie customs dearly. Tlie public bouses were not idle, however, and the flowing bowl was paramount. Amid ail the pushing and jostling ami buy- ing and selling, three men stood in the center of the market-place and lilted up llicir voices in song. One of them bore a banner on which was pasted n variety of newspaper pictures il- lustrative of tlie Soudan war, with a large like- ness of Gen. Gordon in the center; another manipulated an exceedingly effete accordion, whereof only an occasional note would respond to the touch of his fingers, and that was always a wrong one; while the third man carried a pile of printed ballads, which he sold to the sur- rounding audience at a penny each. And the three men,accompanied ny the deleterious accor- dion, were pouring forth their united voices, to the unspeakable gratification of the country people gathered around. Tlie song was one of three printed oil the penny sheet, all relating to the achievements of the British forces in tlie east. It consisted of seven verses, amt the trio sang it over and over again, all the day long and far into tlie night, with a steadtastness of purpose ami strength of lung simply amazing —and as often as they completed the seven verses, and paused an instant for breath, the shower of cupper began afresh and the ballads went off with a rush. In one of these musical rests I joined tlie mol) in buying a ballad, which consisted of four pages printed in very mourning-like type, and all the rest of that day, and tlie next, and even in my dreams at night, I went about humming the exasperating burden of tlie song—for it was written to the tunc of “Sweet Dreamland Faces,’’ami this is a sample stanza: “The bullets fell around uh, Like u storm of hail, The enemy surround uh, In this death dealing gale; Five to one agaiiint uh, We fought until we fell, I’m sure they’ll say hi England, We done our duty well.” A HOMIER TOWN. Kendal is a thriving place of sonic thirteen thousand people, witli tlie remains of what was one time a pretentious castle crowning a neigh- boring hill, celebrated as the birthplace of Katherine I’arr, tlie queen who survived Henry VIII. The town is a very old one and bristles with memories of the border wars that raged along tiiis district. “ Kendal green,’’ you recollect, a staple product of the old town, was what clothed Robin llood and his foresters good, no less than the archers who formed a strong arm of oiJeii Englard’s military service. It still is manufactured here, though not in so large quantities as one time. Tlie streets and byways of tlie city can never ecase to interest tlie visitor, for they are so narrow at times that two persons can scarcely pass abreast, ami tlie houses seem to be slouching into eaeli other across tlie way as though they had taken too much beer ami it laid suddenly mounted into their heads. Perhaps tlic parish church is ns interesting a spot as one here can sec, dating back to tlie liili century. We got the key of u beut old lady who kept a little shop hard by, and who said she was sorry her son, who was “the elark,” as she called him, wasn’t at home to show us around. We thanked her for her kindly intentions, though we didn’t mind sav- ing to ourselves tlie fee that the dark’s pres- ence would have engendered, and taking the iron key, which was a loot long and weighed a trifle over two pounds, let ourselves into tlie um ient edifice, where we studied at our leisure the aged memorials and epitaphs most quaint, no less than tho excellently preserved specimens of the architecture of the time. In (lie year sixteen hundred and something, when times were very troublous here, as they were wont to be in almost any part of England previous to tlie present ceiituiy, one Robert Philipsou, suriianied, liecause of his reckless martial achievements, tlie Devil, was besieged upon a neighboring island by a certain Colonel Briggs and his followers, who, however, were unable to capture tiie Satanic Robin, and were forced to retire. Thereupon the fiery Rubin in turp essayed the colonel’s capture, and to this end lie one Sunday, when ail were at devotions in tiiis very selfsame church, pranced bn his horse in at the open dissenting place? of worship nre called chapel here, no matter how pretention* the building and while the Judge went olf to tlic ancient parish church, I sought tlic house of tlie Bap- tist persuasion; bnt though I was directed up one street and down another until my leg? were nearly worn otr I failed to find it, and at length wandered into a Congregational service instead, wlictc twenty-four people were looking very forlorn in a great rambling barn-like structure, lighted bv such obtrusive .windows that do what one would to avoid it, one must perforce lose the thread of tlie sermon and fall to count- ing the panes of glass. The preacher was n benevolent looking elderly gentleman, nnd preached from a dry-goods-box-1 ike pulpR away up in tlie air. lie had the most extraordinary manner of aspirating his A’s that I have yet en- countered,dwelling upon tlie encumbering letter so long nnd with such emphasis that he quite made of it a separate syllable, until I got lo studying witli much interest bis remarkable performance in that direction, and waiting with a sort of fascination for tlie advent of another A. I have forgotten what tiie sermon was about. It was very emphatic, I remember, and had something in it about striving to be good, hut the window-panes mid tlie A’s got in between it and me to my undoubted loss. I seem to have grown awfully wicked since I left home. A.MONO THE LAKES. I could relate other pleasant experiences of our sojourn in this delightful town, lint for the present I will pass them by. It was ns beauti- ful a June day as history ever has produced when we climbed on to tlic outside of otic of tlic stages by which tiie greater portion of travel through tlic lakes is accomplished. The sun shone brightly from a sky of clearest blue, tlic whole country luxuriated in tlie freshest and cleanest of verdure, the well-kept hedge- rows were just beginning to put forth tlic fra- grant blossom of tiie liawtliorne, and tlie peaks of mountains near and afar seemed to stnilo and boli their heads to us in a friendly way as we passed along, as though it ail had been got- ten up for our particular benefit. 1 do not know that I need dwell upon the special char- acteristics of tlic several towns wc visited, save to remark in passing, tliat while they nearly all are of comparatively recent growth, for tlie lake district only of recent years lias been made popular, they abound in scenes that charm tlic eye and offer a degree of restful comfort that one rarely meets witli in the hackneyed “ re- sorts.” You will find the lake district on your map, indicated by such melodious names ns Windemere, Flverston, Ambieside, Keswick, Grasmere, Dermentwater, Ennerdaie, and the like. The lake poets, as they arc termed, of whom Wordsworth was the chief, have made the region classic to sentimental travelers, mid there’s not a spot in all tiiis line expanse of mountain, lake and glen that is not fixed in s nne setting of song. Wordsworth lived at Rydai Mount, a mile or so beyond Amhle&idc, and near him and enjoying his friendship lived also Hartley Cole- ridge, while Dr. Arnold, of Rugby fame, at times occupied a cottage in this vicinity, mul Dc Quincy as well. Tlic coach put us down as wc came near to tlie house where Words- worth lived mid died, and wc walked up a winding lane to inspect tlic premises. We had thought to wander about the garden where tlie great singer strolled and thought out a hard rhyme, and to look into the house that Ids dweliing-in has made sacred, hut we were doomed to a hitter disappointment, for on com- ing up to tlie gate we found it closed mid locked, mul hearing mi ominously black-lettered “No admittance,” supplemented witli the informa- tion that the premises were not open to the public. Some facetious party hud rubbed out the “ not” of tlie legend, but we hardly felt that that destroyed its force. So we roamed disconsolately about the high, moss-covered wall mul sought points of advantage whence we might peep over into the sacred precincts of tlie blooming garden beyond. The house was a many gabled affair of brick mid stone, mid as comfortable as it was old-fashioned in appear- ance. Fine, large trees threw their grateful shade over the neatly laid out walks, and tlie whole place looked as though a poet might carry on business there for many years with wide success. We pushed around to the rear of tlie Iiousc, where some pieces of tlic family wash were contentedly drying in the sun, and we made as though we would ask a domestic, who peeped nt us cautiously out of au open window, to let us in, hut our hearts failed us, mid we scaled the heights that rose just behind mil gazed down upon the scenes that the poet of nature loved so much to wander among. “ It seems, sir,” the Judge said to ail elderly gentleman who was passing, “ that we can’t get admitted to Wordsworth’s home?” “No,” tlie elderly gentleman pleasantly made response. “ You see, tlie place lias passed into tlie bauds of Mr. Kriitzenn/i private gentleman, wlm is my neighbor, mid I have often expostu- lated witli him oil tlie subject, but lie tells me that the public have so injured tlie premises by picking mul pulling for relies, that he was forced in self-defense to bar them out.” The elderly gentleman added that lie was very sorry for us, and passed on. Wo were sorry, too, but it didn’t do us any good—it only made us feel badly, I think. But we could sit there on the hill where the poet used to sit, and look upon the same scenes his eyes hail looked upon, mid that was some consolation. Truly it was a lovely spot, with tho huge trees grow- ing all about, tlie bright face of Rydai Water just at our feet, nestling at tlie base of a bright green liill beyond, from whose thickets came tiie round notes of tlie cuckoo, while on every hand peaceful Hocks of sheep were browsing and tlie whole landscape glowed in a profusion of wild flowers. a man’ s environment. “ What a beautiful sight,” tlie Judge exclaim- ed, drawing in a long breath and taking a large bite out of a sheet of gingerbread—for we had seized tlie opportunity to eat tiie lunch that we had brought along in pocket. “Tbftt’s so,” 1 asseuteil, as I picked a new kind of fly out of tlie piece of currant cake I was munching. “Almost anybody could be door and clattered down the broad aisle in quest of his enemy’s pew. I he boldness of the proceeding quite took away the people’s breath, as I fancy it would be likely to do even in this day of surprises, hut rallying nHcr a time, an alarm went up from tlic worshippers ami an attempt was made to intercept the hold invader of the Sanctuary, whereupon Robin, seeing ids designs frustrated, put spurs to horse, turned up the northern aisle and dashed out tlic smaller door, which being low, caught him a resound- ing thwack in the forehead and knocked oil*Ills iron helmet. Outside he was unhorsed by tlic guards and a terrific row ensued, lint three companions, who had lingered near, by desper- ate charge rescued their leader and so Robin the Devil got oil-. Wc saw the identical helmet which was knocked off, and tlic sword of which tlie brave intruder was dispossessed, hanging in the church, where they arc preserved as singular relics of its history. Scott works this true incident into “ Rokcby.” They burn a little lime nt Kendal, tlic few kilns standing on a iiitl at tlie rear ofthc town, whither wc somewhat laboriously climbed, but though the kilns were afire, wc could find no- body by to explain to us their character. They appeared to be a cross between our old-fashion- ed and patent kilns though smaller than tlie latter, and were guiltless of the huge shed that eliaraeteriz.es limo-huroing at home, only a slight shelter close to the nrcli serving to pro- tect the lime and laborers from tlie weather. A SUNDAY OF SURPRISES. At a comparatively early hour Sunday morn- ing—say 9.30 o'clock—we were aroused by tiie strains of a familiar Snnkey hymn, lustily trolled forth by masculine voices. Putting aside tlic curtains we saw a body of tine look- ing men formed in a circle in the Hpiarc beneath, from whose throats were issuing tlie sounds that had awakened us, and who presently broke circle, formed into ranks and went off down tlie street at a swinging pace, still singing as they inarched. “ It must be getting near meeting time,” tlic Judge remarked, and we were beginning to puli on our regalia, when wc heard tlie soft strains of n bass drum, and looking forth again we saw a procession, tiiis time coming up tlic street, headed by a good-looking young man in uniform, who was followed by the drum nnd a number of ordinary appearing men and women, all of them singing at tlie top of their lungs, except tlie drum, which a consumptive looking individual was pounding fiercely, lieing always half a beat behind tlie slowest singer. Tliese in turn took up tlie spot tlie former band had occupied, and the leader held forth fora brief season, when the procession reformed and went off again, tlie bass drum going it worse than ever. “Everybody seems to he getting out before us,” the Judge was somewhat nervously re- marking, as he fitted his studs into a clean shirt, when our ears were sainted by another bass drum, keyed a trifle higher than tlic first one, with which seemed to discordantly mingle the strains of a cornet and a fiddle, all played very much out of tune and time—and peering forth for the third time our eyes were greeted by the spectacle of a far more extraordinary procession than we yet had seen. It was larger than the other two, and seemed to attract a poorer class of people. The leader wore a red jersey and neap with a small visor ami red band, as did also several of his followers, while the women were accoutered in ugly looking black dresses nnd black poke bonnets that would he apt to make the best iiitentioned per- son smile. 'I’liis company iikewiso halted in the square, ami the leader and the fiddle player and some others delivered a mini her of ex- hortations, to which the crowd listened respect- fully, and then followed a song of one verse which was sung over and over a dozen times with great strength and miction, the bass drum and fiddle and cornet coming in at spasmodic intervals with startling effect, tlie young women, who would not have been pretty under any circumstances, and who labored at even greater disadvantage in the absurd dress they had donned, meantime shaking ami thumping on tambourines. One of tlie young men bore a banner with a strange device which I could not at the distance distinguish. Presently the leader directed the big drum to be laid on its side, mid called for contributions, and a number of copper coins being tossed from the crowd upon the drum’s head, while the baud gave vent to another song, the leader made thia an- nouncement : “Now, my friends, wc have been very happy this morning, and 1 hope wc shall he happy all the time. We are now going to march to our hall, where we’ll have a salvation meeting. I invite you all to come. Tiiis afternoon at four there will be a hallelujah meeting, and at seven a free mid easy—and we want you all to come.’ Theu tiie bass drum and tlic fiddle and the cornet and the tambourines struck up afresh, tlie company burst into song, mid filing down a narrow street disappeared from view, tlie motley throng of men and women and boys straggling slowly after. 'Tlie Judge and I gazed into cadi other’s faces a moment in silence and then went down to breakfast. “Mary,” I asked of tiie trim looking maid ns she set oil the fried mackerel and toast and coffee, “ what was that first company of people wc heard tiiis morning ?” “Good looking ones, was they, sir?” Mary returned. “Quite so,” I said. “Them.sir,” Mary explained, ‘Was Ranters. Methodists, sir, they are, but we call them Ranters, here.” “ And the next one ?” 1 pursued; what were tlwy.” “That was the Church Army, sir. It is a little higher tlian the Salvation Army, sir, I believe, Ixicauso sometimes church of England ministers themselves speak in their meetings.” “Then the third ones ?” J said. “ Yes, sir, them was the .Salvation Army. 1 suppose they are all good enough in llicir way, sir, but flie Church of England is good enough for me,” the maid added, loyally. She further informed us that there were Cviigiegational and Baptist chapels in town— a pod if h< spent his days these. “Certainly,” the .indue pur-ie I. “ Even the very name? nf the region in ieiibmits m in themselves, tin* essence of poetry. Gra?mere, Lodore, Cilswnter -how * weedy they fall upon the ear. Now with ns, a man doesn't have half a eliance. Take if around Rocklan I fur in- stance — wlm can make poetry of ?ucii name? a?

St Oswald’s church is here, a very line example of Early English architecture, and gracefully de- scribed in verse by the poet himself, whose grave we immediately sought in tlic church- yard, where we found a plain slate slab, bearing only bis name ami the date of ills death—1350. Close by lie buried tli? poet’s wife mid other members of Ids family, while tlie grave of Hartley Coleridge, his friend, is at its head. Tlic grass on tlic Wordsworth graves is trimly cut, but tliat of Coleridge’s grows unkempt. WHERE SOUTHEY LIVED. Next wc took conch for Keswick, whicli bore us up over the mountains of tlic Helvcllyu range, in tlie course of which ride the driver pointed u? out a number of curious formations on tlic mountain top?, from which tlic beholder cotdd extract Ihe images of lion-, Iambs, old women and other natural curiosities. “ And tliat, sir,” ho added, as be pulled tip at a little wayside inn called tlic Nag’.- Head, mid pointed to a building opposite, “ tliat i? the smallest church but one in England, mid it lias the smallest congregation?.” “ How large congregations ?” wc asked. “Oh,” the driver replied “ live, or if it- some extra occasion, mebbe six.” Keswick —they call it Kesslek—is a charm- ing little place, hugged down under the base of Skiddaw mountain, nnd here tlie tourist re- sumes the railway that take? him out of tlic delightful lake district. The famous Derwent- water lake is close by, mid the Falls of Lodore, where Sou they-aw the water come down, as you will remember, ’flic water still comes down, very much a? it did in tlic poet’s day. Coleridge lived here, and hither Shelley brought ills child wife and dwelt when lie was forced to leave Oxford. Southey i? buried at Crosthwait church, where his efligy in full length lies carved in marble, hearing a fine inscription written by Ills friend Wordsworth. Wc looked at the efligy. It seemed very calm. 1 can’t say that I am fund of full length efligies on tops of tombs. I trust I may lie forgiven if I appear irreverent, but to me they seem foolish. But it’s thf taste of these people, mid I suppose they will have them. A little girl in a red cheeked gingham dress mid hair in two tight braids down lier back conducted us mound a well-worn path to Southey’s grave, behind tlic church, mid here we plucked some grasses that grew up from the edges of tiie huge box-like all’iir of slate that bore the name of tiie poet mid date of Ids death. The other object of interest here is Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived before Southey— a large, brick dwelling with hows upon each end, mid admirably .surrounded h.v trees mid flowering shrubs. We walked up the long lane tliat sloped to tlie house, picking a leaf here mid there. We wanted very much to look inside tliat house, “ Yon follow me,” at length the Judge said, determinedly. Then lie went up mid lifted mid let fall the iron knocker thut’gruced the door’s outside. A maid in a white apron answered tin- rap. “ You will excuse us,” the Judge sai l, with a p T'liasive jury sweep of hi- right arm, “ but biug in your place fora brief season, we make bdd to enquire if It would be possible for ii? to view tiie interior of this house ?” The girl hung onto tlie door-handle in mi embarrassed fashion and stammered something about not knowing. “ We are from America,” the Judge continued in th • same persuasive accents, “and would much like to see tlic rooms in which poets whom we know so much about once lived.” There was more to tills effect more smoothly expressed than I can recall it, mid it dually move 1 the girl to say tliat she’d tee; so, vanish- ing, she presently returned mid asked us to walk up into tlie library. Then she conducted us through a totally dark entry mid up a stumb- ling flight of stairs witli a ghostly old clock ticking on tlie lauding, and tlic half suppressed sound a.? of young ladies snickering behind closed doors wc were passing, ami introduce 1 us into a large square room with old-fashioned appointments, which was in substantially the same condition as when Coleridge un i Southey here lived and wrote what made them famous. Then we excused ourselves mid backed out. Stopping in tlie garden for the Judge to sketch the house, we were presently apprehend- ed by a lady who came up the walk and u. it into the house, whence she speedily Issued again, mul coming up with us graciously in- quired if we had seen all of tlie house we wished, spoke of the large number of Ameri- cans who visit the spot,at tlie Mine lime allud- ing to Hawthorne’s description of Ids visit thither, and ended by desiring us to walk further about tlie ground? mid along tlie river bank, which pleasant privilege we availed ourselves of with thanks. “ Who lives in Greta Hall, now ? ’ tlie Judge casually enquired of a gentleman at tlie station, us we were taking our lean, next day. “Mis. fSoandso,” was the reply. “ But you no? like ' inu-n’t think of getting in there to look about. itor- tliat ?h • nplcteiv and They’ve been so over-run will ha? -but down upon them nobody can get in."

Ilx-t Leaving Thomaston at 2.19 on Wcdnenlay, tlie 3th ol July, we arrived at the Randall Iloii-y North Conway, at nine o'clock and did ample justice to the hot supper provided fir u-. And right here wc want to -av to those wishing to spend a few week? among the mountains, that if they desire a place where the price? nre reasonable, room- m at and well cared for, table well furnished, food well cooked, and above all a place where they will fed perfectly at home they can do no better than io go to tlic Randall House. “ So -av wc all of us” ami no party could give a house a harder test than did wc “ Milleritc-.” 'i’llis name was adopted because wc were “going up” ami well did we deserve it for wc not only went up ourselves hut “ took up” everything else with us. Early on Tiiur-d.iy morning the whole party were astir eager to see wli.it kind of a place they were in. Truly it might be said tliat North Conway “nestle* among tlie mountains,” for on either side the Moat mid Rattlesnake ranges shut us out from tlic busy world, while tin1 whole Presidential range, with Washington in the center, stands at tlic head of the valley on tlie north ami sym- metrical Kearsage, tlie queen of the mountain-, which one writer has said ought to have been named Martha Washington, stands like a ?cn- tincl guarding the valley on tlie northeast. No village could lie better situated, ami the efforts put forth by the citizens to keep it in li irtnony witli its beautiful surroundings make it the place of' resort of tlie whole mountain re- gion. The first day was passed in seeing some of flie nearer places of interest including Artist’s Falls, Diana’s Bath?, Echo Lake ami tlieCatli- dial. Of course a description of all tlie places we visited would he impossible but a few words must lie said of tin* last place men- tioned. At the base of a perpendicular dill’ 950 feet high, those powerful geological agent-, frost and water, ii ive hollowed oat a va-t arcli Si) feet long, 19 feet deep mid 99 feet in height to which lias been given tlie name of tlic cathe- dral.

Perfect it i*. in its representation of a basilica, even to the bell hanging in th • archway and no stained glass window’ can he compared for an in-tant to tlie view of Kearsage mid tlie interraics afforded by the opening tli rough the trees in front. Surely petty bickering- never disturbed the life of tlic couple whom Starr King united In marriage iu tliat place some year- ago. A glance at Echo Lake reflecting tlic tree- ami rock- in its placid surface, a listening to the eelio from the face of tlic elifl, a short ride home mid a dance in tlic dining hall alter tea, complete flic first day's work ami we go to bed to wake on Thursday refreshed and r-udy lbr something else. A drive around Humph- rey's Ledges mul a stop at Bartlett’s Boulder for the purpose of having our pictures taken by the amateur, who is always found in such par- ties, occupy the forenoon mid tlie afternoon i- spent in hammocks and swinging chairs, under tiie maples on tlie lawn. So far the weather has been all that could la- desired and Jest oldl’roh should forget tliat lie was preparing it especially for our benefit we determine to do Mi. Washington the next day. The morning was very clear mid we left the house at Go’clock to drive the whole distance 23 miles mid return. Picture- mid pens have ever failed to do justice to the drive through the (Beil Woods mid to Goodrich F.ili-, Gien Ellis Falls ami Crystal Cascade wlii h arc pass- ed oil thi- drive, ami we will take up the party again at the foot of the mountain, which was reached at 12 3). Eight of the party iu a mountain wagon mid three on a buck-board proceeded by tlie carriage road, eight remained at tlie base to await our return while live of us desiring to do something a little out of tlie usual course started by tlie footpath up through Tuckerman’s Ravine. Tlie distance by tiiis patii is four miles while the carriage road wiml- aroutid to a distance of eight miles before reaching the summit, but the path leads up over the very steepest part of the mountain. A trail.p of two miles bling- us tu tiie “camps” of tlie Appaiacliiuii Club and we are at the foot of the ravine. Although it had been up liill all tlic way mid we could see tlie mountains behind us growing lower, our climb had just begun, Tlie view up tlie ravine is one of ihe . grandest in the whole mountain region. Word- 1 canuot describe it but if tic* reader can imagine himself in a vast three sided aiupitheatre , whose walls on pjther side rise to the height of | ttvo thousand feet while down the wall in front is pouring tlie “ Fall of a Thousand streams” broken into indefinite cascades by the rock- mid cliffs over whi' U it tumbles, with tlie top , of Mt. Washington stretching hack a mile from tlie head of tiie ravine lie can get a faint eon i eeptiou of the place. At the toot of tiie fall- we find the “Snow Arch’’ ami cn.j-iy tlic luxury of a snowfall in the middle of July. Tlie arch was about 299 feet long by 50 feet broad ami will doubtless last some time although not so long as the one of L330 when tlie writer found snow there on the 31st of August. The effect of tlie snow ami cold water can be seen ill tlie vegetatiofi. i he ravine is a vast w il l down* garden mid tiie elintonia which appeared here about June 1st has just begun to blossom.

Not a cloud in tlic sky ami th atmn-plieic so clear i that a mountain only fourteen miles from , Montreal, and WachttM tt in Ma—aclinsctt? are I vi-ible. It was one of the red letter days of our live ? and the mountain*, river?, lake? and 1 village- spread out underneath us formed a f pictuj- w'hich R indelibly itnprc-sed upon our memory.

N inth Letter.The English lake district embraces a remarka
ble variety of charming resorts, where one might exhaust a month and then be scarcely able to say that he Imd seen everything. Inasmuch ns we devoted far less time than that to the task, it hardly could be expected that onr knowledge of the district is limitless. Still, we saw enough to satisfy us that the charms of the place have not been greatly exaggerated. We have finer l ikes nnd grander Mountain- in America, but I doubt i f there is such a succession c f natural beauty as one encounters here.
First wc made stop at Kendal, an attractive city gilt about on every hand by hills of brightest green. The King’s Arms tavern received us, and in a comfortable room with a gigantic feather-bed we washed off the marks of our late encounter with dirty railway trains. It was market day in the town, and the streets were thronged with every species of English rustic, from tlic burly fanner and his buxom wife, to the maiden in ribbons bedecked and the uncouth hobbledehoy with enormous feet and a countenance that reminded you of a howl of blanc-mangc that somebody bad inadvertently sat down upon. Booths of various sorts lined the streets, where were displayed for sale every kind of merchandise likely to attract the rural buyer. It seemed to me that th e amount of business transactions were hardly commensurate with the number of booths, but it may be that 1 didn’t understand tlie customs dearly. Tlie public bouses were not idle, however, and the flowing bowl was paramount.
Amid ail the pushing and jostling ami buying and selling, three men stood in the center of the market-place and lilted up llicir voices in song. One of them bore a banner on which was pasted n variety of newspaper pictures illustrative of tlie Soudan war, with a large likeness of Gen. Gordon in the center; another manipulated an exceedingly effete accordion, whereof only an occasional note would respond to the touch of his fingers, and that was always a wrong one; while the third man carried a pile of printed ballads, which he sold to the surrounding audience at a penny each. And the three men,accompanied ny the deleterious accordion, were pouring forth their united voices, to the unspeakable gratification of the country people gathered around. Tlie song was one of three printed oil the penny sheet, all relating to the achievements o f the British forces in tlie east. It consisted of seven verses, amt the trio sang it over and over again, all the day long and far into tlie night, with a steadtastness of purpose ami strength of lung simply amazing —and as often as they completed the seven verses, and paused an instant for breath, the shower of cupper began afresh and the ballads went off with a rush. In one of these musical rests I joined tlie mol) in buying a ballad, which consisted of four pages printed in very mourning-like type, and all the rest of that day, and tlie next, and even in my dreams at night, I went about humming the exasperating burden of tlie song—for it was written to the tunc of “ Sweet Dreamland Faces,’’ ami this is a sample stanza:
“ T he bulle ts fell around uh,Like u storm o f hail,
T h e enem y su rro u n d uh,In th is death dealing gale;
Five to one agaiiint uh,W e fought until we fell,
I ’m su re th e y ’ll say hi England ,We done our duty w ell.”
A H O M IE R TOW N.
Kendal is a thriving place of sonic thirteen thousand people, witli tlie remains of what was one time a pretentious castle crowning a neighboring hill, celebrated as the birthplace of Katherine I’arr, tlie queen who survived Henry V III. The town is a very old one and bristles with memories of the border wars that raged along tiiis district. “ Kendal green,’’ you recollect, a staple product of the old town, was what clothed Robin llood and his foresters good, no less than the archers who formed a strong arm of oiJeii Englard’s military service. It still is manufactured here, though not in so large quantities as one time. Tlie streets and byways of tlie city can never ecase to interest tlie visitor, for they are so narrow at times that two persons can scarcely pass abreast, ami tlie houses seem to be slouching into eaeli other across tlie way as though they had taken too much beer ami it laid suddenly mounted into their heads.
Perhaps tlic parish church is ns interesting a spot as one here can sec, dating back to tlie liili century. We got the key of u beut old lady who kept a little shop hard by, and who said she was sorry her son, who was “ the elark,” as she called him, wasn’t at home to show us around. We thanked her for her kindly intentions, though we didn’t mind saving to ourselves tlie fee that the d a rk ’s presence would have engendered, and taking the iron key, which was a loot long and weighed a trifle over two pounds, let ourselves into tlie um ient edifice, where we studied at our leisure the aged memorials and epitaphs most quaint, no less than tho excellently preserved specimens of the architecture of the time.
In (lie year sixteen hundred and something, when times were very troublous here, as they were wont to be in almost any part of England previous to tlie present ceiituiy, one Robert Philipsou, suriianied, liecause of his reckless martial achievements, tlie Devil, was besieged upon a neighboring island by a certain Colonel Briggs and his followers, who, however, were unable to capture tiie Satanic Robin, and were forced to retire. Thereupon the fiery Rubin in turp essayed the colonel’s capture, and to this end lie one Sunday, when ail were at devotions in tiiis very selfsame church, pranced bn his horse in at the open
dissenting place? of worship nre called chapel here, no matter how pretention* the building and while the Judge went olf to tlic ancient parish church, I sought tlic house of tlie Baptist persuasion; bnt though I was directed up one street and down another until my leg? were nearly worn otr I failed to find it, and at length wandered into a Congregational service instead, wlictc twenty-four people were looking very forlorn in a great rambling barn-like structure, lighted bv such obtrusive .windows that do what one would to avoid it, one must perforce lose the thread of tlie sermon and fall to counting the panes of glass. The preacher was n benevolent looking elderly gentleman, nnd preached from a dry-goods-box-1 ike pulpR away up in tlie air. lie had the most extraordinary manner of aspirating his A’s that I have yet encountered,dwelling upon tlie encumbering letter so long nnd with such emphasis that he quite made of it a separate syllable, until I got lo studying witli much interest bis remarkable performance in that direction, and waiting with a sort of fascination for tlie advent of another A. I have forgotten what tiie sermon was about. It was very emphatic, I remember, and had something in it about striving to be good, hut the window-panes mid tlie A’s got in between it and me to my undoubted loss. I seem to have grown awfully wicked since I left home.
A.MONO T H E L A K E S.
I could relate other pleasant experiences of our sojourn in this delightful town, lint for the present I will pass them by. It was ns beautiful a June day as history ever has produced when we climbed on to tlic outside of otic of tlic stages by which tiie greater portion of travel through tlic lakes is accomplished. The sun shone brightly from a sky of clearest blue, tlic whole country luxuriated in tlie freshest and cleanest of verdure, the well-kept hedgerows were just beginning to put forth tlic fragrant blossom of tiie liawtliorne, and tlie peaks of mountains near and afar seemed to stnilo and boli their heads to us in a friendly way as we passed along, as though it ail had been gotten up for our particular benefit. 1 do not know that I need dwell upon the special characteristics of tlic several towns wc visited, save to remark in passing, tliat while they nearly all are of comparatively recent growth, for tlie lake district only of recent years lias been made popular, they abound in scenes that charm tlic eye and offer a degree of restful comfort that one rarely meets witli in the hackneyed “ resorts.” You will find the lake district on your map, indicated by such melodious names ns Windemere, Flverston, Ambieside, Keswick, Grasmere, Dermentwater, Ennerdaie, and the like. The lake poets, as they arc termed, of whom Wordsworth was the chief, have made the region classic to sentimental travelers, mid there’s not a spot in all tiiis line expanse of mountain, lake and glen that is not fixed in s nne setting of song.
Wordsworth lived at Rydai Mount, a mile or so beyond Amhle&idc, and near him and enjoying his friendship lived also Hartley Coleridge, while Dr. Arnold, of Rugby fame, at times occupied a cottage in this vicinity, mul Dc Quincy as well. Tlic coach put us down as wc came near to tlie house where Wordsworth lived mid died, and wc walked up a winding lane to inspect tlic premises. We had thought to wander about the garden where tlie great singer strolled and thought out a hard rhyme, and to look into the house that Ids dweliing-in has made sacred, hut we were doomed to a hitter disappointment, for on coming up to tlie gate we found it closed mid locked, mul hearing mi ominously black-lettered “ No admittance,” supplemented witli the information that the premises were not open to the public. Some facetious party hud rubbed out the “ not” of tlie legend, but we hardly felt that that destroyed its force. So we roamed disconsolately about the high, moss-covered wall mul sought points of advantage whence we might peep over into the sacred precincts of tlie blooming garden beyond. The house was a many gabled affair of brick mid stone, mid as comfortable as it was old-fashioned in appearance. Fine, large trees threw their grateful shade over the neatly laid out walks, and tlie whole place looked as though a poet might carry on business there for many years with wide success. We pushed around to the rear of tlie Iiousc, where some pieces of tlic family wash were contentedly drying in the sun, and we made as though we would ask a domestic, who peeped nt us cautiously out of au open window, to let us in, hut our hearts failed us, mid we scaled the heights that rose just behind mil gazed down upon the scenes that the poet of nature loved so much to wander among.
“ It seems, sir,” th e Judge said to ail elderly gentleman who was passing, “ that we can’t get admitted to W ordsworth’s home?”
“ No,” tlie elderly gentleman pleasantly made response. “ You see, tlie place lias passed into tlie bauds of Mr. Kriitzenn/i private gentleman, wlm is my neighbor, mid I have often expostulated witli him oil tlie subject, but lie tells me that the public have so injured tlie premises by picking mul pulling for relies, that he was forced in self-defense to bar them out.”
The elderly gentleman added that lie was very sorry for us, and passed on. Wo were sorry, too, but it didn’t do us any good—it only made us feel badly, I think. But we could sit there on the hill where the poet used to sit, and look upon the same scenes his eyes hail looked upon, mid that was some consolation. Truly it was a lovely spot, with tho huge trees growing all about, tlie bright face of Rydai Water just at our feet, nestling at tlie base of a bright green liill beyond, from whose thickets came tiie round notes of tlie cuckoo, while on every hand peaceful Hocks of sheep were browsing and tlie whole landscape glowed in a profusion of wild flowers.
a man’s environment.“ What a beautiful sight,” tlie Judge exclaim
ed, drawing in a long breath and taking a large bite out of a sheet of gingerbread—for we had seized tlie opportunity to eat tiie lunch that we had brought along in pocket.
“ Tbftt’s so,” 1 asseuteil, as I picked a new kind of fly out of tlie piece of currant cake I was munching. “ Almost anybody could be
door and clattered down the broad aisle in quest of his enemy’s pew. I he boldness of the proceeding quite took away the people’s breath, as I fancy it would be likely to do even in this day of surprises, hut rallying nHcr a time, an alarm went up from tlic worshippers ami an attempt was made to intercept the hold invader of the Sanctuary, whereupon Robin, seeing ids designs frustrated, put spurs to horse, turned up the northern aisle and dashed out tlic smaller door, which being low, caught him a resounding thwack in the forehead and knocked oil*Ills iron helmet. Outside he was unhorsed by tlic guards and a terrific row ensued, lint three companions, who had lingered near, by desperate charge rescued their leader and so Robin the Devil got oil-. Wc saw the identical helmet which was knocked off, and tlic sword of which tlie brave intruder was dispossessed, hanging in the church, where they arc preserved as singular relics of its history. Scott works this true incident into “ Rokcby.”
They burn a little lime nt Kendal, tlic few kilns standing on a iiitl at tlie rear ofthc town, whither wc somewhat laboriously climbed, but though the kilns were afire, wc could find nobody by to explain to us their character. They appeared to be a cross between our old-fashioned and patent kilns though smaller than tlie latter, and were guiltless of the huge shed that eliaraeteriz.es limo-huroing at home, only a slight shelter close to the nrcli serving to protect the lime and laborers from tlie weather.
A SUN D A Y OF SU R PR ISES.
At a comparatively early hour Sunday morning—say 9.30 o'clock—we were aroused by tiie strains of a familiar Snnkey hymn, lustily trolled forth by masculine voices. Putting aside tlic curtains we saw a body of tine looking men formed in a circle in the Hpiarc beneath, from whose throats were issuing tlie sounds that had awakened us, and who presently broke circle, formed into ranks and went off down tlie street at a swinging pace, still singing as they inarched.
“ It must be getting near meeting time,” tlic Judge remarked, and we were beginning to puli on our regalia, when wc heard tlie soft strains of n bass drum , and looking forth again we saw a procession, tiiis time coming up tlic street, headed by a good-looking young man in uniform, who was followed by the drum nnd a number of ordinary appearing men and women, all of them singing at tlie top of their lungs, except tlie drum, which a consumptive looking individual was pounding fiercely, lieing always half a beat behind tlie slowest singer. Tliese in turn took up tlie spot tlie former band had occupied, and the leader held forth fo ra brief season, when the procession reformed and went off again, tlie bass drum going it worse than ever.
“ Everybody seems to he getting out before us,” the Judge was somewhat nervously remarking, as he fitted his studs into a clean shirt, when our ears were sainted by another bass drum, keyed a trifle higher than tlic first one, with which seemed to discordantly mingle the strains of a cornet and a fiddle, all played very much out of tune and time—and peering forth for the third time our eyes were greeted by the spectacle of a far more extraordinary procession than we yet had seen. It was larger than the other two, and seemed to attract a poorer class of people. The leader wore a red jersey and neap with a small visor ami red band, as did also several o f his followers, while the women were accoutered in ugly looking black dresses nnd black poke bonnets that would he apt to make the best iiitentioned person smile. 'I’liis company iikewiso halted in the square, ami the leader and the fiddle player and some others delivered a m in i her of exhortations, to which the crowd listened respectfully, and then followed a song of one verse which was sung over and over a dozen times with great strength and miction, the bass drum and fiddle and cornet coming in at spasmodic intervals with startling effect, tlie young women, who would not have been pretty under any circumstances, and who labored at even greater disadvantage in the absurd dress they had donned, meantime shaking ami thumping on tambourines. One of tlie young men bore a banner with a strange device which I could not at the distance distinguish. Presently the leader directed the big drum to be laid on its side, mid called for contributions, and a number of copper coins being tossed from the crowd upon the drum ’s head, while the baud gave vent to another song, the leader made thia announcement :
“ Now, my friends, wc have been very happy this morning, and 1 hope wc shall he happy all the time. We are now going to march to our hall, where we’ll have a salvation meeting. I invite you all to come. Tiiis afternoon at four there will be a hallelujah meeting, and at seven a free mid easy—and we want you all to come.’
Theu tiie bass drum and tlic fiddle and the cornet and the tambourines struck up afresh, tlie company burst into song, mid filing down a narrow street disappeared from view, tlie motley throng o f men and women and boys straggling slowly after. 'T lie Judge and I gazed into cadi other’s faces a moment in silence and then went down to breakfast.
“ Mary,” I asked of tiie trim looking maid ns she set oil the fried mackerel and toast and coffee, “ what was that first company of people wc heard tiiis morning ?”
“ Good looking ones, was they, s ir?” Mary returned.
“ Quite so ,” I said.“ Them .sir,” Mary explained, ‘Was Ranters.
Methodists, sir, they are, but we call them Ranters, here.”
“ And the next one ?” 1 pursued; what were tlwy.”
“ That was the Church Army, sir. It is a little higher tlian the Salvation Army, sir, I believe, Ixicauso sometimes church of England ministers themselves speak in their meetings.”
“ Then the third ones ?” J said.“ Yes, sir, them was the .Salvation Army. 1
suppose they are all good enough in llicir way, sir, but flie Church of England is good enough for me,” the maid added, loyally.
She further informed us that there were Cviigiegational and Baptist chapels in town—
a pod if h< spent his d a y s these.
“ Certainly,” the .indue pur-ie I. “ Even the very name? nf the region in ieiibmits m in themselves, tin* essence of poetry. Gra?mere, Lodore, Cilswnter -how * weedy they fall upon the ear. Now with ns, a man doesn't have half a eliance. Take if around Rocklan I fur instance — wlm can make poetry of ?ucii name? a? Hope, Warren. Unity, Sciigglesvillc, St. George ami tlie like ?”
“ Nobody,” I acceded. “ To be sure, lie might turnout something like—

B e hud given Idm self too m uch scope —“ —But that wouldn't be accepted by the
world as poetry—not poetry that would live, I mean.”
“Certainly not,” tlic Judge gravely acknowledged, and getting a drink from a spring near by, wc walked along the remains of an old Roman road that swept its broad smooth way over a neighboring bill, and so dropped abruptly down into Grasmere, where Wordsworth lies buried and whose grave we visited. St Oswald’s church is here, a very line example of Early English architecture, and gracefully described in verse by the poet himself, whose grave we immediately sought in tlic churchyard, where we found a plain slate slab, bearing only bis name ami the date of ills death—1350. Close by lie buried tli? poet’s wife mid other members of Ids family, while tlie grave of Hartley Coleridge, his friend, is at its head. Tlic grass on tlic Wordsworth graves is trimly cut, but tliat of Coleridge’s grows unkempt.
W H E R E SOUTHEY L IV E D .
Next wc took conch for Keswick, whicli bore us up over the mountains of tlic Helvcllyu range, in tlie course of which ride the driver pointed u? out a number of curious formations on tlic mountain top?, from which tlic beholder cotdd extract Ihe images of lion-, Iambs, old women and other natural curiosities.
“ And tliat, sir,” ho added, as be pulled tip at a little wayside inn called tlic Nag’.- Head, mid pointed to a building opposite, “ tliat i? the smallest church but one in England, mid it lias the smallest congregation?.”
“ H o w large congregations ?” wc asked.“ Oh,” the driver replied “ live, or if it- some
extra occasion, mebbe six .”Keswick —they call it Kesslek—is a charm
ing little place, hugged down under the base of Skiddaw mountain, nnd here tlie tourist resumes the railway that take? him out of tlic delightful lake district. The famous Derwent- water lake is close by, mid the Falls of Lodore, where Sou they-aw the water come down, as you will remember, ’flic water still comes down, very much a? it did in tlic poet’s day. Coleridge lived here, and hither Shelley brought ills child wife and dwelt when lie was forced to leave Oxford.
Southey i? buried at Crosthwait church, where his efligy in full length lies carved in marble, hearing a fine inscription written by Ills friend Wordsworth. Wc looked at the efligy. It seemed very calm. 1 can’t say that I am fund of full length efligies on tops of tombs. I trust I may lie forgiven if I appear irreverent, but to me they seem foolish. But it’s thf taste of these people, mid I suppose they will have them. A little girl in a red cheeked gingham dress mid hair in two tight braids down lier back conducted us mound a well-worn path to Southey’s grave, behind tlic church, mid here we plucked some grasses that grew up from the edges of tiie huge box-like all’iir of slate that bore the name of tiie poet mid date of Ids death.
The other object of interest here is Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived before Southey— a large, brick dwelling with hows upon each end, mid admirably .surrounded h.v trees mid flowering shrubs. We walked up the long lane tliat sloped to tlie house, picking a leaf here mid there. We wanted very much to look inside tliat house,
“ Yon follow me,” at length the Judge said, determinedly. Then lie went up mid lifted mid let fall the iron knocker thut’gruced the door’s outside. A maid in a white apron answered tin- rap.
“ You will excuse us,” the Judge sai l, with a p T'liasive jury sweep of hi- right arm, “ but b iu g in your place fora brief season, we make bdd to enquire if It would be possible for ii? to v iew tiie interior of this house ?”
The girl hung onto tlie door-handle in mi embarrassed fashion and stammered something about not knowing.
“ We are from America,” the Judge continued in th • same persuasive accents, “ and would much like to see tlic rooms in which poets whom we know so much about once lived.”
There was more to tills effect more smoothly expressed than I can recall it, mid it dually move 1 the girl to say tliat she’d te e ; so, vanishing, she presently returned mid asked us to walk up into tlie library. Then she conducted us through a totally dark entry mid up a stumbling flight of stairs witli a ghostly old clock ticking on tlie lauding, and tlic half suppressed sound a.? of young ladies snickering behind closed doors wc were passing, ami introduce 1 us into a large square room with old-fashioned appointments, which was in substantially the same condition as when Coleridge un i Southey here lived and wrote what made them famous. Then we excused ourselves mid backed out.
Stopping in tlie garden for the Judge to sketch the house, we were presently apprehended by a lady who came up the walk and u. it into the house, whence she speedily Issued again, mul coming up with us graciously inquired if we had seen all of tlie house we wished, spoke of the large number of Americans who visit the spot,at tlie Mine lime alluding to Hawthorne’s description of Ids visit thither, and ended by desiring us to walk further about tlie ground? mid along tlie river bank, which pleasant privilege we availed ourselves of with thanks.
“ Who lives in Greta Hall, now ? ’ tlie Judge casually enquired of a gentleman at tlie station, us we were taking our le a n , next day.
“ Mis. fSoandso,” was the reply. “ But you

Leaving Thomaston at 2.19 on Wcdnenlay, tlie 3th ol July, we arrived at the Randall I l o i i - y North Conway, at nine o'clock and did ample justice to the hot supper provided f ir u-. And right here wc want to -av to those wishing to spend a few week? among the mountains, that if they desire a place where the price? nre reasonable, room- m at and well cared for, table well furnished, food well cooked, and above all a place where they will fed perfectly at home they can do no better than io go to tlic Randall House. “ So -av wc all of us” ami no party could give a house a harder test than did wc “ Milleritc-.”
'i’llis name was adopted because wc were “ going up” ami well did we deserve it for wc not only went up ourselves hut “ took up” everything else with us. Early on Tiiur-d.iy morning the whole party were astir eager to see wli.it kind of a place they were in. Truly it might be said tliat North Conway “ nestle* among tlie mountains,” for on either side the Moat mid Rattlesnake ranges shut us out from tlic busy world, while tin1 whole Presidential range, with Washington in the center, stands at tlic head of the valley on tlie north ami sym metrical Kearsage, tlie queen of the mountain-, which one writer has said ought to have been named Martha Washington, stands like a ?cn- tincl guarding the valley on tlie northeast. No village could lie better situated, ami the efforts put forth by the citizens to keep it in li irtnony witli its beautiful surroundings make it the place of' resort of tlie whole mountain region.
The first day was passed in seeing some of flie nearer places of interest including Artist’s Falls, Diana’s Bath?, Echo Lake ami tlieCatli- dial. Of course a description of all tlie places we visited would he impossible but a few words must lie said of tin* last place mentioned. At the base of a perpendicular d ill’ 950 feet high, those powerful geological agent-, frost and water, ii ive hollowed oat a va-t arcli Si) feet long, 19 feet deep mid 99 feet in height to which lias been given tlie name of tlic cathedral. Bryant’s “ The groves were God’- first temples” never seemed to have such a meaning as when standing in that place. Perfect it i*. in its representation of a basilica, even to the bell hanging in th • archway and no stained glass window’ can he compared for an in-tant to tlie view of Kearsage mid tlie interraics afforded by the opening tli rough the tree s in front. Surely petty bickering- never disturbed the life of tlic couple whom Starr King united In marriage iu tliat place some year- ago. A glance at Echo Lake reflecting tlic tree- ami rock- in its placid surface, a listening to the eelio from the face of tlic elifl, a short ride home mid a dance in tlic dining hall alter tea, complete flic first day's work a m i w e go to bed to wake on Thursday refreshed and r-udy lbr something else. A drive around Humphrey's Ledges mul a stop at Bartlett’s Boulder for the purpose of having our pictures taken by the amateur, who is always found in such parties, occupy the forenoon mid tlie afternoon i- spent in hammocks and swinging chairs, under tiie maples on tlie lawn.
So far the weather has been all that could la- desired and Jest o ld l ’roh should forget tliat lie was preparing it especially for our benefit we determine to do Mi. Washington the next day. The morning was very clear mid w e left the house at G o’clock to drive the whole distance 23 miles mid return. Picture- mid pens have ever failed to do justice to the drive through the (Beil Woods mid to Goodrich F.ili-, Gien Ellis Falls ami Crystal Cascade wlii h arc passed o il thi- drive, ami we will take up the party again at the foot of the mountain, which was reached at 12 3). Eight of the party iu a mountain wagon mid three on a buck-board proceeded by tlie carriage road, eight remained at tlie base to await our return while live of us desiring to do something a little out of tlie usual course started by tlie footpath up through Tuckerman’s Ravine. Tlie distance by tiiis patii is four miles while the carriage road wiml- aroutid to a distance of eight miles before reaching the summit, but the path leads up over the very steepest part of the mountain. A trail.p of two miles bling- us tu tiie “ camps” of tlie Appaiacliiuii Club and we are at the foot of the ravine. Although it had been up liill all tlic way mid we could see tlie mountains behind us growing lower, our climb had just begun, Tlie view up tlie ravine is one of ihe . grandest in the whole mountain region. Word- 1 canuot describe it but if tic* reader can imagine himself in a vast three sided aiupitheatre , whose walls on pjther side rise to the height of | ttvo thousand feet while down the wall in front is pouring tlie “ Fall of a Thousand s tream s” broken into indefinite cascades by the rock- mid cliffs over whi' U it tumbles, with tlie top , of Mt. Washington stretching hack a mile from tlie head of tiie ravine lie can get a faint eon i eeptiou of the place. At the toot of tiie fall- we find the “ Snow Arch’’ ami cn.j-iy tlic luxury of a snowfall in the middle of July. Tlie arch was about 299 feet long by 50 feet broad ami will doubtless last some time although not so long as the one of L330 when tlie writer found snow there on the 3 1st of August. The effect of tlie snow ami cold water can be seen ill tlie vegetatiofi. i he ravine is a vast w il l down* garden mid tiie elintonia which appeared here about June 1st has just begun to blossom. From the arch the climbing is directly upward 4

i that a mountain only fourteen miles from , Montreal, and WachttM tt in Ma—aclinsctt? are I vi-ible. It was one of the red letter days of
our live ? and the mountain*, river?, lake? and 1 village- spread out underneath us formed a f pictuj- w'hich R indelibly itnprc-sed upon our

Two new member? were added to our patty and us one cotild stay only i.n* a day, it was decided to go through ill • Notch on Monday. At Bartlett the observation cars are taken on ami soon we enter the lower end of the Notch. The mountains begin to close in upon either hand ami to grn-p tt- c lo -c r ami closer. It is with a feeling of awe that one is carried, along tlie side of tlie mountain on that triumph* of engineering skill the I’. N- O. R. It.

W. S. Roberts. He called upon fieri. Davis Tillson to preside, 'i he General in liis rem arks referred to tin* lawless clement which
•had been cropping out in our city, spoke of the destruction of property by this clement, and the outspoken tin eats against Constable Orne. lie said that our people must he on one side or the other. There was mi fence. The people of Rockland bail met the enemy ami now was the lime to decide which would fx? victorious. He then read the following resolutions, which were presented to tin* audience for consideration.
Hesuhill% I hat this meeting heartily commends tin- action of the city government in electing a constable suggested ami recoil i- iiicii.led by temperance people in tliis eitv.
Hcmdvrd, I hat wt* pledge ourselves to the support of all olliecrs of the law in the legal and proper execution of their duties.
Hesulviil, That we (all upon the city gov- xTiiment to instruct the City Marshal ami the police to use their utmost endeavors in enforcing the law against tin* sale ol intoxicating liquors and in the preservation of order in the streets.
lion. N. A. rur.vell lin n followed, endorsin g Gen. Tillson’s repiarks in energetic style. T he present status of things should call forth the interest of every citizen. The law must he olxjyed ami an officer pel forming his duty .tntist be protected.
( ’. E Littlefield, esq., was the next speaker. 'He commended the city government for reelecting Constable Orne, when they knew the course In* intended to pursue, and paid a high tribute to Mayor Case for the stand lie lias taken in Ihe matter. He dwelt in vivid style upon the terrors of mob violence mid showed tile importance of promptly quelling it in our midst. While he did not expect all people to believe as he did, vet l.c did expect all people to abide by the law. While the prohibition law is on our statutes we should respect it. If tve do not believe in it there is a legitimate road to appeal. All of the speakers were loudly applauded.
At the close of Mr. Littlefield’s remarks ■Gen. Til,son called for a rising vote of the audience on the adoption of the resolutions presented, and almost the entire audience aro.-e. On , lie mil for tin contrary minded to Htaud no one arose and tlie resolution* were (.leclai' d nnanimou-ly carried. Tlie friend* of temperance may well congratulate them.-t l \ »• - over the sm *e*s of the meeting. The ihiuiI good music was furnished by a chorus under /.he lead ol A Ibcrt Smith.

humlay. Julv 19th, Jonah Wentworth of Hope, aged about 7’» years, left his home osteii sihlv for tlie purpose of visiting relatives in ttoulh Hope. At tin* end of a lew days it was found tiiat lie was not at South Hope and hud mot been seen there. As Mr. Wentworth had iwiee before attempted suicide it was at once surmised that In- lead at last succeeded in taking bin life.
A search was at once instituted and Monday afternoon of last week the body was found in A.ily pond with a rock fastened by a handkerchief to tin- neck. The pond is a short distance from Mr. Wentworth's home, and very shallow. It is supposed from the appearance of the laxly, which was badly decomposed, and other circumstances, thut lie went directly to the point oil tin- I9ih ami took ills lite. Despondency mid infirmities incident to old age are thought to have led to tin- eommisnioii of the deed. An inquest was deemed unnecessary.

H ow Grapes are Grown and W ines are Made.
Mn. E nrron . Thinking that some of your readers might desire lo know how grape.growin g and wine making are carried on in California. 1 will try to give them some idea of tills industry. Vines are planted on an average of seven feet each way on tlie square. In goo.l rich soil cuttings are used. In rough, rocky soil rooted vines are needed to start a vineyard. A hole aliotit a foot deep is dug, tlie cutting or the root is inserted, then four or live Inches of warm roil is pat in the bottom of tlie hole then stamped witli tlie foot to keep tlie air oat from the roots of t iie vine; then tinisli tilling tlie hole witli loose soil and Ute vine is planted.
In the winter after the sap lias settled from tlie lops tlie vines are then pruned to one shoot. In the spring when the warm weather comes tlie sap begins to II > v and the shoots bogln to come forth Irom tlie hails. Tiie vines then re-* quire to lie Buckered, only allowing one or two shoots to grow, these to lie kept tied up lo tlie slake-. The coming winter tlie vines are again pruned lo one stock about one foot high, 'l’lie next season tiie stickers are all kepi oil tlie stock only allowing tlie three upper buds to semi out tlie shoots. On these t lie head of the vine is formed. Tlie vines after they are pinned resemble a person’s arm from lite elbow lo lite hand witli lite lingers stuck out in ililfer- eot directions.
Tlie vines begin hearing in tlie third year. The working of tlie vineyard, which consists of plowing, hoeing, harrowing and cultivating, is all dune lietw;eu tlie months of Mareli ami July. Tlie vineyards are laid oil' ill blocks of ulioiit It) vines each, witli avenues on etieli side to haul the grapes oat on. The grapes are picked in boxes liolding about fit) pounds eaeli and carried and piled tip along tlie avenues in readiness for tiie team.
Tlie grapes tiro hauled to tlie cellar la wagons carrying about 50 boxes each. These arc put on tin: elevator, which takes them up to tlie crusher wliero they are run through. From tliere they are dumped Into the tanks which will hold 7o boxes. There they are left to ferment wlilclt usually takes about It) days. From tliere the liquid is drawn oil' into tanks liolding 10t)() gallons tacit where it is left to settle. After it lias settled it is racked or changed from one tank to another. The guod wine only is saved, ami the settlings or imparities thrown away. Tliis process is curried on four or live times when tlie w ines are perfectly clear. Then they nrc left to ugc before they are put on the markets to lie used. The wines are made in cellars of from IODO to 1,000,000 gallon, recording to tlie capital of tlie proprietors. Last year tlie wine emu of California ninountcd to 11,000,000 gallons.

Hat I i fe lt, tis perhaps you have felt, a thousand times, dear In ar. r. that I have to buy som ething o f that liny, or lie down on j the Hour o f the ear and die.
So I bought apples. I -elected apples , lii'c iim c t in y ale palatable, nutritious, and cheap I a - k e i l him how he sold his apples. W ith exceeding scorn Im said:•• i woliir.'ieent,” (w h ich by in terpretation is. t wo lo r a ee iit.) I know I laid ju t m is - id a lecture i ngtigenient by ra ilroading in to a snow drilt, the n ig h t before and consequently had just enough money le ft to buy one. in a jo b lo t.
I h it it w ith great d illie u ity mid litt le joy, sing hey. the leathery fungus that il wiis. I handed it hack to the hoy and told him to keep it : he m igh t want i l to k il l a dog w ith some day. T ile bov, w ith tlio native indepemleneo o f his class, said Unit I d idn't know a good tip pie wlien I got one. l ie opined. Indeed, mid very opitie ly, too, in a loud tone of expres-ion, for the benefit o f the whole' ear, that when 1 hud any orchard fru it at home ! regaled m yself like ti ptin .ie on dried apples.
I did not sm ile the liny or upbraid him w itl i hard and sting ing words. More, indeed, in sorrow than in anger ! told him I did know w llllt a good apple was, mid moreover, if lie would b ring me one now my entire hank itccuuul, w ith all the herid iltiinen ls . protests and over- di iilts thereunto appertaining, should lie his. The only good apples in the world, lineal descendants o f the gold stook of lb spin ides, used to grow , 25 or 30 years ago, on an old farm three or four miles out o f I ’eoviu, I llin o is , on tile M ount H o lly road. I told tlio boy they were m il always a fa ir tipple to look upon in the ir early youth, when 1 loved them best. They were hard on one side and green on the o ilie r. They were gna rly a ll the way round and sour a ll the way through. There was more heart-aehe and sorrow, and deep-seated, gnaw ing remorse, and heartfelt sorrow, and honest penitence in one o f those tipples, after voti hail eaten a peek o f them in I lie same afternoon, than there is now in a w ind.' green watermelon.
Nevertheless I used to go in to that orchard at b a. n t., eat apples t i l l 11.30 and then feel hungry for a big d inner.
A n il I to ld the hoy i f l:e would b r in g me one of those apples now, w ith the same old taste and llavor that it had a quarter o f a century gone by w ith the same old smell of the c lover anil apple blossom linge rin g about i t ; the same old id le breeze that kissed my boyish cheeks in the long, d e ligh tfu l, truan t sum mer u ltc inoons; w ith the wh istle o f a bob- wh ite over in the stubble-fie ld beyond the cow pasture; w ith the m urm ur o f (lie brook that went s ing ing over the w h ite pebbles at the foot o f the orchard h i l l ; w ith the m u rm u r of the bees hum m ing and buzzing about tin.* sweet red clover tops; b ring them to me even w ith tlie old w e ll remembered and peculiarly pungent llavor ol the buggy w h ip which frequently seasoned those apples— because no boy could always get over the fence in lim e — I told him I would g lad ly , g lad ly , g lad ly g ive him $50 for ju s t one apple.
ilu t the hoy looked at me w ith a nameless fear, and hacked oil’ down the aisle o f the car, and touched the conductor on the d h o w and said :
" B i l l ! Say, H ill! W ho has charge o f the lunatic on the wooil-box?"
Ah, dearly beloved, there is no lunacy about it. Wo know now, and some day the hoy w il! know , that apples arc not so good to-day as 25 years ago. No th ing is so good to us, in fact. The apples are tough and flavorless; the grass is w iry and th in where it used to he liv in g ve lvet under our fe e l: the days are not so lo ng ; the n ights have grow n co lder; the stars shine less b righ tly , and there are not so many o f th e m ; 1 counted them the o ilie r n ig h t and there are a h a lf dozen missing ; the cows don’ t come homo so ea rly : the dogs are erosser; Christm as doesn’ t come so dose apart as i l used to.I .ve rv llnn g changes except the circus. So runs the woi Id aw ay. But i l doesn’t run away w it l i l l i e coachman, thank the gods W h ich only goes to prove that The w orld is much prouder and better than the people who live in it.

Jnirvican Agriculturist.The Cedar o f l. lianoii, besides being
a tree o f h istorica l interest, is, on account ot its picturesque appearance, o f great value in ornam ental p lan ting . When young, tlio tree presents a conical outline, lin t as it increases in age, its shape changes. Its trunk is massive, ami its numerous brandies spread h o r izontally. The branches are arranged in successive whorls, o r stages, tine above another, and thus give a peculiar a-peel to the tree. There are, in llie v ic in ity o f New Y ork ( itv . several fine old specimens o f the Cedar o f Lebanon, and it is regarded as generally hardy, provided i l is given a suitable soil. The soil should he open ami w ell drained. I l l such a soil the grow th is slow, and Inis tim e to he well ripened before cold weather. I t is believed that in those lo calities in which the tree has failed, its lack of success is duo to an unsuitable soil, rather than to the severity o f the d im iite . C u r reason for re fe rring to the tree at the present t i l in ’ , is on account o f its fru it o r cones. The fancy fru it stores of large cities sell a ll kinds of trop ica l, and other unusual fru its, and frequently have rare cones, which limy sell to lovers o f theenrions. Am ong these is oeeasionally a lot o f cones o f the Cedar o f Lebanon. These arc nt tractive on account o f the ir peculiar shape, and the very num er ms, broad, th in scales, of which they are composed. I t is probable that those who sell these cones, do not know to which tree they belong, as every now and then a cone is brought to us for idi n tiliea tion . The re.tl size o f the cone is from three to live inches long, and Ironi tw o to tw o and a ha lf inches broad. There arc several va rie ties.

Double Flowers from Seed. — Flower growers often feel disappointed after having sown seeds o f wli.at they took to lie double llowers, to find the plants producing single llowers. This in a measure must lie expected, as single llowers usually have a part to perform in the fe rtiliza tion and producing o f a ll see ls that produce dnuide llowers. G enerally the very worst ease o f ‘ •dr»nl»lo seed com ing single” is not so In d ns it appears at first, because o f a ll the plants from such seed those destined to y ie ld single llowers come in bloom earlier than the others. Then again it often happens that the plants which produce llowers that are single or nearly so at first, show an im provement in the bloom and possildv complete douhlencss later on. In dealing w ith these cases the

Very b righ t and seasonable is Mrs. Sandhain's artic le , " A T r ip on the O ttaw a ,” which is beautifu lly iliustra led by her husband. M r. ,L G.

The form er contains a clear statement o f the grounds on which the claim s o f the crofters are liased, as well as o f the present tendency o f legislation and public opinion in Great Hritain in reference to the tenure o f land. "O u r

H Cntherwood, is a rtis tica lly worked out, w hile it has the charm of freshness, the scene being la id on one of Ihe Canadian lakes and the characters of an un fam ilia r type, w h ile ev idently true to life . "A I ’ie isant S p ir it ." by M argaret Vandegrilt, is a realistic v illage sketch, and "M y Friend George Randall," by Frank Parke, is a story of college life w ritten in a very agreeable and sympathetic vein.
The American nation has a double b ir th r ig h t— libe rty and land. Its liberty i l has guarded jealously, hut u n til very recent years it seems to have been in d ifferent to the loss o f its landed estate and

Ju lian , who lias given special attention to the arts disposing o f onr pub lic lands, te lls the story in b rie f in a contribution to the North American Review for August. In tho same num ber live m edical au thorities d'senss the question "Can Cholera he Averted?" Fe lix L. Oswald contributes a suggestive artic le on “ The A n im al Soul," and the Rev. M . J .

'I’lie entertainment in aid of the Ladies Library Association will take place at Union liall on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, August 11th mid 12th inst., at which the following interesting pieces will be pre.-ented. On Tuesday evening the drama entitle d “ Home” by the High S bool Drama e Club; on Wednesday evening the comedy “ Engaged’’ by the Lawn Tennis amateurs. The programme of each evening will be well worth the attendance of all, especially in -o important ami worthy an object ns the support ami sustaining ol a good circulation of choice hooks among our young people. We think as a rule parents arc iiot careful enough about the kind of hooks that their children read. It there is nny one thing more than another which exerts an evil influence over the young it is the reading of cheap hooks of the so called yellow literature sort. This cheap stuff has led more young boys to commit crime than even intemperance itself. The Ladies Library has already many well selected books, ami more are required. A library oftliis kind cannot be sustained in this community unless supported hv the people. Let all who are desit ions of circulating good literature in our town sustain the Ltulie- Lihrary by attending the entertainment and thereby give the association funds for the worthy object mentioned. Music will be furnished each evening, ami the usual refreshments served.V IN A L H A V E N .

Warren to the Ina Union: the second
T H E T R A M P .— The construction of f ie George* River canal from the th b water* in Warren to the Qnantiba- cook in Searsmont wa* an interesting enterprise concerning which the younger portion of our rentier* know very little. That the enterprise for variott* reasons proved a financial failure detract* little from the interest.The entire cost of George” river canal wa* #79,100. It was built in four section*. '1 he lirst extended from the title water* in d of Seventree Poml in from Seven-tree Poml to
the head of Senncbee Pond, Appleton; the third from Senncbee Poml to Smith A Conant’s mill pond, Appleton; the fourth from Smith A Conant’s to the Quant ibacook.
The canal was built in 1816 during a season of drought and low water. The Ooldhunter, Captain George Dow, built nt Seventree Pond, wn* the canal boat. She wa* a stern wheeler, or “ wheel barrow” boat, a* they were facetiously called iu those day*. The wheel would frequently get “ »»n the center,” ami the captain, crew or passengers would be obliged to give it a turn so that the craft could continue her course. The rale* o f passage were one dollar a lock for men, women, children, sheep ami calve*. As there were several locks it cost something to travel on the Georges River canal. The boat was well patronized, but the expense ami labor of “ locking” the boat up the stream were so great that in 1819 the scheme wa* abandoned. John Miller wa* president the last year that the company did business.--------“ There have been many methods propos'd for preventing the spread of intemperance ami Tunny different kinds of temperance organizations formed, but I suppose the queerest society of the kintl on record is one that was formed in a town less than ten miles from Rockland about seventy years ago.” Thus oracularly discoursed a respected Knox county man.
“ The people of this town ami vicinity became so impoverished by drunkenness that almost all the farms were mortgaged to the rumsellcrs. Every business enterprise became stagnant on account of the universal drinking habit. The dealers soon found themselves in a queer strait. They had plenty of custom, but their customers could not pay their bills. So they formed a protective society for the suppression of intemperance, anti pledged themselves not to sell any one person more than three drinks a day, nnd induced their customers not to drink mol e than three times a day.”
-----One of those who fell at Castine at thetime the fort was bombarded by the English was John Carver, an uncle of Reuben Carver of Vinalhaven. John Carver lived in Rockport when the Revolution broke out, and went to Bagaduce or Castine with others. When tiie English opened on the fort Mr. Carver was standing near a man named Metcalf also a resilient of Rockport. Mr. Carver was struck in the side with a cannon hall anti instantly killed. He was a young man of great promise.

I t seems almost as though Spain would be depopulated by thu cholera.

General G ran t knew how to obey; he could not otherwise have known how to command. Just before the fall o f l l ic l l- luond he was w a lk in g on the dock at C ity Point, w ith a ligh ted c igar in his m outh as usual, absorbed in thought. A negro sentinel slopped h im , .and said, “ No sm oking on the dock, s ir .” “ Are these your orders?” "Y es, s ir , ” answered the soldier, qu ie tly but positively. “ Very good orders,” said Grant, as he threw his c ig a r in to the James r ive r and walked away.
I t is w ith feelings o f subdued pride that Am ericans read the eulogies o f the fore ign press upon the life and labors o f our great soldier who has just passed away. The w o rld unites in doing homage to his m em ory and paying t r ib ute to his m any virtues. The London 7(/, y/-u/iZi devotes tw o colum ns to a re view of Gen. G ran t’s m ilita ry career. E d ito ria lly it says:
'flu' greatest and must successful soldier that the t lilted States has inodii.i d has breathed his last. In no portion id the United Stales Jinve the financial disa-ters niurking the close ol General Grant's career been regarded with more sympathy and icgrct than in England.

Tito French have settled the ir trouble w ith China and now :uo devoting the ir energies to tint Island o f Madagascar. T ito po litica l s ituation o f the island is somewhat as fo llow s: The llovas, an enterprising tribe o f natives, h iv e eon rptered almost the entire island, the conquered tribes in almost every instance having acknowledged b a ity to them. The fertile island w it It its undeveloped resources is a tem p lin g morsel to a nation which is desirous of b u ild ing tip elsewhere the prestige lost in Europe. French inllucnce is predominant in those teas. Tainatave on the eastern coast of the island is French, w h ile several small ne ighboring islands are under French inlluence. Thu basis o f the French cla im s to the islands are treaties w ith several rebellious tribes and a drunken k in g . Them is no th ing in these tre ith s

But lo rtunate ly brokers were honest tbetl, and did the ir best for the ir customers instead o f “ doing” | them. Janies D. Fislt was unknown, and the M arine bank was yet unborn. Ferdinand W ard bad not then been launched in to the w orld, and Ulysses S. Grant bad just earnetl bis fame as a general.
People who knew noth ing o f stocks came in to tlte c ity to speculate. (tr ie of these was, so tint m erchant inform ed me, a farm er, whose only valuable possession was a line blooded burse. His owner made bis first t r ip In to W a ll ftre c i, and sought out Lawrence Jerome, la ther of Leonard Jerome, whose daughter is now l.a tly Randolf C h u rch ill. Lawrence Jerom e was a shrewd business man, and had an eye to hum or. L ike ltis son be was an ardent sportsman, and knew a good anim al when lie saw one. W it li h int tlte farm er de- posited bis horse as a "m a rg in ,” tlte value o f which Lawrence said da ily depreciated because o f the anim al's in o rdinate appetite, for gra in was dear. The man returned to his v illage , and in six months Ito was in form ed there was a credit on Lawrenco Jerome's hooks of $50,000. Hero is another incident | culled from the same source: E ly Hop- ; kins, a < 'onnectieut store-keeper, sold out and eame on the street w ith $30,- 000. In s ix months lie hadn 't a cent. Determ ined to end his existence beset out one evening for tlte C ourtland street ferry w ith the in tention of d row n ing himself. On the way he met a gentleman w ith a valise, l ie looketl a pleasant fellow enough, and being hungry, Hopkins offered to carry it. On a r r iv ing til the Astor bouse Hopkins received a do lla r for bis trouble. W ith tlm possession ol that do lla r returned tile wish to live. Late that n ig h t be eame out o f i a Bleeoker-street faro bank w ith $50 in gold. H it experience bad made him wiser and in s ix months or so he returned to ltis native state w orth $100,- 000. l ie then went in to the governm ent contract business and died w o rtli nearly $2,000,01 io.

,Y,ir. l . i t t r r .There is a mansion on C a lifo rn ia
street where there w ill lie no more amateur theatricnls. T lte d ram atic tn n se lias been fired out tlie back w indow , never more to return. Here is tile scene live m inutes before tlie c lim ax :
Augustina is on tlie stage to bo loved. Augustus, tin! Intshaml, is in the dress c irc le am ong the guests, and G ulle ino, the dude, plays the lover. Slow music by the piano as the portiere of the back d raw ing room rises Augustina advances t im id ly . T lte audience expresses its adm ira tion by a low m urm ur. Augustus, liie husband, m utters : “ She does look pretty?” A ugustina m u rm u rs : “ I t is tlie hour o f our tryst. W il l lie meet me? Alas! I fear lie w ill lie too la te.” Th is is Guhcino's cue. A t "to o la te” lie rushes on, and clasps Augustina in Ids arms. “ W lie w ,” g row ls Augustus, " lie needn’t lie so vio lent about i t . ”
G u lio ino— How I adore you! Another kiss, sweet one. (One, two, three and a teaser.)
Augustina—A ll, w hat is l l iy lovo com pared to mine, da rling? For thee I have braved tlie w ra tli of an angry father. (K iss .)
Augustos (in tlio aud ience)— I don 't like this. There was none ol tha t kissing at rehearsal. H u i there been I would never have thought o f perm itting Augustina to m ak e such an ass ol herself.
G u lie ino—I appreciate tlie sacrifice, da rling . K it upon this primrose bank, anil we w ill ta lk of our love. (K iss.)
Augustus (in tlie audience) —Deuce lake it, lin t I th ink tin: v illa in lias got her on bis lap ’ Pon my soul, T ina is conducting lie rse lf shamelessly.
A ugustina— I nniso alarm ed, d a r lin g ; my father w ill have discovered my (light.
G ulle ino— Fear not, beloved. (K iss.)I am near thee. (Kiss, ling , kiss.)
Augustus ( in tlie audience)— Here, I say, stop l i t i s ! D rop that cu r ta in ! Darn it, yon scoundrel, do you th ink I've got noth ing to do hut sit here a ll n igh t and see Jon bug m y wife?
Audience— shame, shame! Augustus ■ is surely drunk.
Drunk o r sober, the play broke up in a row , and tlie last tableau beheld was the w o rthy host choking tlie w ind out of the g ifte il but too ardent Gulieino.

Outing.The A m erican g ir l is neither m er
cenary nor m ate ria l. Her know ledge o f human nature does not o rd in a rily deter her from idea lity . N or is tlie “ In lu ro ” she enshrines in tier im agination any tlie less in sp iring because bis physical properties are hazy. L ike g irls a ll tlie w orld over site cherishes this form o f ideal, but sin.' is so absorbed in Iter earnestness to realize a perfect soul that, un like her G a llic kinswom an, she rare ly dreams of a mustache or a defin ite pa ir o f legs.
H er (earlessness ami sclf-relinnee are also tra its that command atten tion. A c customed to be served ami waited upon by men w it l i more consideration than in anv other society, she is yet less dependent upon surveillance. Shelias a wonderfu l facu lty o f forecasting c ircum stances and understanding how far she can act independent w ith ou t hazard. I remember being s truck at Bar H arbor by the response o f a g ir l o f 18, w lio was questioned as to tho prudence o f having spent most o f tho day and evening on tlie water w it l i a young man w lio was a lmost a stranger. "O h ." she answered, " t l ie canoe itse lf is a great pro tection .”
Bar H arbor is a theatre w e ll chosen for tlie free play o f lliese tra its. As most people know , i t possesses exceptional na tura l beauties, Dotli o f seacoast and in te rio r. Ils jw a lks and drives arc a ttrac tive and various, and tlie smooth surface of tiie island dotted hav is adm irab ly adapted for boating. AH tlie elements that make up tlie place are opposed to a r t i f ic ia lity . T lie very a ir is superabundant w it l i ozone. T lie host o f young people tha t a lighted a t M t. Desert like a vast flock o f doe birds w ith in a few years o f its discovery as an available resort em phasized a silent protest against tlie conventional customs h itherto lim it in g I he ir relations. I f m arriage is woman’s whole existence, lether have tile opportu n ity to eliooso in te lligen tly , and to obtain more than a ball-room impression o f h im upon whoso character the happiness o f tier life is to he m ain ly dependent. Th is was tlie keynote ol tlie movement, and us a co ro lla ry thereto tlie com panionsh ip o f maidenhood was advocated as a re fin in g in lluence on young men. A t th is new departure tlie old nations shook th e ir heads and shrugged t lie ir shoulders.
T liu in tim acy established between m arriageable young folk is tlio great feature o f life at Bar H arbor. T lie em ancipation of women lias been affected thereby in a seuso much more satisfactory to them as a sex than any h i ll of po litica l r igh ts could accomplish. I ’er- fu n c to rily spoken o f in other c iv iliza tions as tlie companion o f man, she lias dem onstrated tier r ig h t to tlie desigation.

She no longer perm its lie rse lf to he pot oil' tlie track in her pursuit Hftur tru th by am iable legends invented for her benefit. In brie f, she th inks for lierself.
