NOTES BY TILE WAY.
j• No. 11.
Tie aspect of the country first attracts the
attention of the excursionist, and so this num
ber will be devoted to the description ot the
sections through which my route red me.
Cumberland Valley was said by one who had
passed •his life in travelling, to be the most
delightful country in the world, and the charge
of partiality could not be brought against him,
for ho had nothing to influence him in his de
cisions except the lovely aspect which the
valley presents to the.eye.
It has not- yet been my fortune to pass
through any section which can comparii in any
way with "Old.Nlother Cumberland," but it is
natural to think our home the brightest, the
sunniest, and the loveliest spot in •creation,
and perhaps my partiality would reverse the
gloss as I gaze upon the beauties of other
lands. elt. may not re so picturesque and ro
mantic .as the Highlands of the Hudson, but '
that air of comfort and plenty which exhibits
itself in the stately minsions, the ntagnitment
barns and high state ot Cultivation, produces
in my mind more pleasant
,emotions than thole
which rugged cliffs and barren rooks.call forth.
The route from Harrisburg to Baltirnork,pro
sents but little of interest except, the scenery
ot the noble Susquehanna. Following its
course the eye rests with pleasure upon many
woody islets, which dot the stream and 'give it
a beautiful and picturesque appearance—noth
ing can surpass the lalteliness of the Beene on
a moon-light night to gaze upon the broad ex
panse of water, and watch the rippling waves
as they reflect: their varied• images. I shall
never regret the delay, (although i was near

ed) which afforded me an opportunity of be—
holding this charming sight. was upon a
clear, cold night of DeceMber, the long re
membered-twenty-fourth. Little thought wet
as we gazed .upon thq waters, that the same
wind was tossing the ill fated San Francisco
among the angry billows of the furrowed Ocean.
A few dark clouds flitted across the horizon—
the moon had just risen, so that the shadows
from the high banks and islands stretched wide
and far. As a dark mass of brokezi - olouds
Crossed her line partially obscuring her light,
„our hearts wore raised in eastaoy and involunj
tary exclaimed how beautiful, how beautiful
is the Susquehanna! Ilighspire and Middle
town on the, opposite side orthe river present
quite a pretty appearance. As we approach
ed York wo passed through a couple of stpull
valleys, whioh•remind one very much of Cum
berland. The state of oultivatiob is equally
as high and it is hero you bid farewell to the
flue barns which should, boa source of pride
to every Perinsylvanian. York is a busy,
bustling place, and exhibits much of energy
in its - citizens. After passing York verylittle
iertile'land is soon. The country ikpoor and
hilly, the railroad winds its collrse 'through :
the valleys and along the banks of the litt.e'
toreeme, which are characteristie of broken
oruntries, Beyotid the. valley of the Coderus
very litttle of that thriftiness and improvement
which are the boast of the Pennsylvanian far-,
mer is perceived. Several villages have sprung
up at.the railroad stations, but exhibit noth•
log worthy of remark., The Phoenix Mille are
situated.nearthe road ten or fifteen miles from
Baltimor. They are fine large struoturcE4
and when illuminated produeo.bn agreeable
ireprSeSlan. We had a 'fine opportunity of ob•
'serving the Mcitioa and action of the ineobbm
ry in passing: , As we apprliach'llaltitnore the
country is less worked but does not imirove
in fertility. As Baltimore has been'so often,
described it will be unnecessary for me en
ter upon a minute, and oritical description of
its curiosities, which by the way are pot many.
It has fear inducenients l to protract the stay of
the traveller. A '6litYtor s& will be sufficient
to examine its objects of interest, The Sul

Companies .to which they belong. The Me.

Baltimore, as slf,e occupies a prominent posi
tion as an agricultural depot. All sights seen

the country from Baltimore to Washington
'produces anything but a favorable impression
upon the mind. Marylanders say that the
railroad passes through the poorest part of
their - Stale, and I think no one should be so
uncharitable as to disbelieve their report.—
The Belay House, nine miles from the city, is
a favorite resort for thcjalthnorettus, and as
it combines the advantages of city and coun
try life, is one of the most pleasant places for . ,
a summer residence. I know of no place
where -one can make a more agreeable and
prOfitable stop, than to spend a day in

and. in ascending the hill in the rear of the
house to.obtain a view of the

glides quietly towards the Chesapeake. This
stream is noted for a small fish which the dOln
ty palates of the city gentry pronounce a rare
hit. At this place ,the Washington branch
leaves the main road. Ellicott's Mills six miles
up, the Patapsco is a place of some imptirtance., l
It contains about six thousand inhabitants,
and is noted for the flourishing flour mills and
other Factories which line the hanks of the
river. Built of granite they present a strong
and durable appeawce, nod will withstand
the attacks Of time for a long period. The
• Patapsco is a small river, but owing to the ra
pid descent of the stream possesses great mo
tive power. The strteti follow the windings
of the valleys and so there is no regularity in
town. Another object worthy of observation
is the Female Seminary, under the- superin
tendence of Mrs. Lyncoln Phelps. It is situ•
ated upon a high hill overlooking the town and
river, and commanding one of the finest pros-.
poets of which illarylald man beak Beini
informed that the Court w,,,c.,5.-1 - essionl took
occasion to attend, and was partidularly struck
with the hew and interesting manner of its
proceedings. It appeared to me that they
were trying to kill time, but I was informed
that the case under consideration was one of
importance and that two of the ablest lawyers
in Baltimore were engaged 14 it. By the new
Constitution there is but one Judge, which de
tracts very much from the bench. Retracing
My steps to the 'Relay House I took the cars

Or, Uinta for Hinters.
A_ few years_ago—no .matter how- many or
how few they might be, for the eircuinstauco
which I am going to narrate-Might have been
- equally likely to occur at any time or at any
place—being deprived of the beloved home in
which I had passed my earlier year,, I retqed
Into a neighborhood with which I was whotty
anacquiitited,.and the inhabittlts of which
were to me entire strangers. lam somewhat
of a social turn, and also of a sanguine temp,e
.
rament; and, as Is natural' to a mind of that
stamp, I had formed many very pleasant
schemes for my futuro_life; and having heard
that there was a circle- of very agreeable soci
ety in the place, to which I had several sat tis
foolery letters, of Introduction, not a few of
those schemes , were based on the valuable
f iendships and pleasant acquaintances I ex•
p ted to form., illy comfortable Cottage home
wits situated in the outskirts of -a populous
town; and, pending the delivery of the afore
said letters, I was very much interested in
speculating on the habits and characters of the
people I met with in my walks, and who I hop
ed would in time be among my friends, con
corning whom I had been building so many
castles in the air. lam no _gossip, indeed, I
shrink from the whole system of busy-bodying
and scandal-mongering, and feel it to' be a ye-
Li. i y just remark that for every tale of scandal
that is told, at least three pet-sons are injured
—namely, the speaker, the listener, and the
person spoken of. But there is' aTdifferenee
!between watching one's neighbors 'witha view
to find out their private concerns for the Pur
pose of, tattle, and that natural interest with
which we observe those who aro to fort* our
future associates, and with whom our home
and social comforts aro to_pO closely interwo•
yen. It was with this latter feolineand -with
as, cordial desire to like and approve. that ,I

ning encountered au old sohool-mate, with
whom, in, early days, I had • been olosely inti

moat exhilerating after our dripping walk. ,
and, coupled with the warm' and affeetlonate
welcome of 'Mrs. Frazer and, her daughters,
made toe rejoice that I had not allowed the
rain to prevent our visit. The two girls—
Agnes,' r who had been Our Companion in our
morning's walk, a tine and' intelligent girl of
about tweptyk.Graeo,.whom I had not before.
'seen, a graceful and lovely girl, n year or so
younger—were tiO,attractive in their appear.
once, and so warm in their reception of my
Lizzie, that I felt quite in love with them;
and when placed in a luxurious easy chair by
the fireside, and in close proximity to u tea
table well spread with all those pleasant ac
companiments which belong to that meal in
houses where the inmates dine early. epee
dily began to feelrnymelf quite nt home, and
fell into a stat.:l of hiElfsezjoyment, no doubt
greatly enhanced by the .. cireumstamie of my
having, for some previous weeks spent every
evening in solitude. As usual, I took the
first opportunity that no offered me by a live
ly talk which was being carried on by the
young ones, of noticing thoSe around me. Mrs.
Frazer was, I at once saw, a clever and shrewd
woman, with a strong sense of 'the ltidlerous,
and considerable quickness, in detecting ab
surdity or inconsistency in others, with little
• dispobition to reserve in exposing them.—
Agnes' fine high forehead, and the thoughtful
expression of her clear,. dark eyes, indicated
Et , mind of a high intellectual stamp; and in
sweet Grace, there seemed- a combination of
the characters of the mother and sister, her
lively blue eye 'catching and reflecting -with
_singular rapidity everything of a mirthful cha
racter; whilst at times, when other subjects
arose, I aould detect in hor changeful counte•
nance a ready appreciation of the more weigh
ty points in them. - Agneemind 'seemed full
of thought, Grace's full of feeling and sympa
thy; Agnes was reflective, Grace dertionstra•
tive—at least each were the theories formed
from the first hours of our actitmintance. Our
meal progressed, and the 'hot buttered,mthes,
and- fresh oream,--vanislied with celerity, outl
appetites no doubt stimulated by the flavor of
the fragrant tea, which the elder'of the young
ladies most gracefully dispensed.
'Come,' said I, noting under the inebriating
influence of the lively society, and vvith'but
the most refined discretion, 'now, ast.you have
been resident here, do toll me a little about
my neighbors, who they all are, and. whom I
shall best like.'
I have since learned three excellent rules,
which all who enter ano neighborhuLd would
do well to laden and pro tico, but wh4h thou,
alas! I bad not tayaelf 30.cervt:,- ;3t. Re
member that every. ohm actor has SK's strong
nail its weak points, its g •oil asidlts bad qual
ities, and that it is your wisdom to try and
discover the former, and. be as blind as you
can to the latter. 2d. Never ask any one to
tell you anything about your neighbors, as you
will be sure to hear more of the bad than of
the good. 2d. If - yo v , wish to love and be
loved, to live in peiiie nOI be useful, never tell
to one neighbor anything you may have ob
served or-been l told that is objectionable in
another.. 'Tito irasi. soh{ is soonest mended.'
I would that 1 hail held by these rules, but,
as I have said, such was not the ease.
'Well,' replreil Mrs. Frazer, is always a
good thing to know a little of 'the people one
is with, and to he sure who one may trust; so
I will give. you a few hints that may come into
use hereafter.'
'First, then,' said I, 'tell a little about two
sweet-looking old ladies who called oni me
yesterday. I think the addross on their card
was 'The Grove.' •t
'0 yea, Mrs. Grey , and Miss Park. They
aro very nice people indeed—most benevolent
and amiable ladies,' replied Mr Frazer.
'And agreeable alai), I thought, said I.
'0 M. Doughla's, did You really,' said A
gnes. 'Wu think them Such tiresome people,
and so will you, when you know more of!thern;
they do so run on and tell you so many old
stories.' .
'Well, perhaps they were a little prosy,' I
replied; 'but etill,nl must own, I thought them
very winning and attractive, and such thorough
gentlowomen - ,' '
'Yes. and that.they certainly are,' answered
MM. Frazer.. ' How that, camp about, I can
scarcely tell, for they are not of very exalted
dement; their father made all hie money by'
cabinet making, or Bonne: mob trade. I fancy
,you will not ..muolt like them; for, as Agnes
Bays, they twaddlors, and I have heard
that, with,: all their largo fortune, they. aro
rather stingy.'
Welt' said r, a nice looking old
Mon who,walka about with a lame lady—l'
suppose his wife. Who are they? I have ta
ken 'quite a fapcy to them; they look so very
cheerful end happy.'
•
A' merry glance from Greco was followed
by a:general laugh, and Mrs. blazer replied:
'Oh, they are, General and Mrs. lioher; we
call her Mrs. Twitcher; not that .ehtyclitn help

that Mrs. Twitcher rules at 'The •Elmse as

pretty and, interesting to be an inva
lid,' rejoined Grace as shi3 threw herself in
a graceful attitude on the couch; 'it is an op
portunity of showing such a pretty hand and
foot' ¢a Alice Hartland's to. great advantage..
Now, do not think ins ill-nature, dear
Douglas,' added she; 'but really Ido not think
she is a'bit ill. . There are half a dozen such
young ladies here, all of whom fancy it inte
resting to have weak backs or delicate chests;
it Is quite a fashion.'
'Yee, indeed,' said her mother; 'what Grace
says is primly- true, and there is quite a
host of such girls; and the doctors humor
their fancies. I trust ishall never see either
of my daughters give into such whims.' -
'Ms dear friend,' replied I, 'I hope it may
please God•to spare you the grief of seeing
one of your children prostrated as poor Alice
appears to be.' .I felt saddened. Whore wee
I to hope to find any of the valuable people of
whom I had been told I 'Dot surely Doctoi
Loyd, who attends Alice Hartland, is a man
of too high principle to encourage such de
ception as you describe; he is as wise as he is
kitid,' I said.
'Oh, you quite mistake there,' said Agnes;
'for it is he who upholds her in all her non
sense. 'Doctor Loyd objects to such a thing;
and Doctor Loyd strictly forbids the other,' is
forever on the lips of the whole party. You
know it would not do for doctors to be too
clear-sighted, what would Lemma of their
tees?' •
I confess I was a little.nottled as well as
saved nt all thist,thad conceived a very high
opinion of the FiarAands, to whom I had some
special introductions; and I also meant that
Dr. Loyd should by my - sheet-anchor, - having
heard as hieh a report of his general &zeal-.
lence of character as of hiT'skill. I suppose
that my countenance showed that PUOII was'
my feeling, for Mrs. Frazer, as if stitaula u ted
by the dosho of establishing her statement,
added, "Oh, it is known that Dr. Loyd loves
'Menu; and attentive to
those who can pay well, but his gratuitous' pa
-dents are sadlAtnegrected. I have a high re
spect for him, but you will find that ho is not
all he appears.'
'And as to Mrs. Loyd,' said Agnes, 'she is
as proud ,and self-satisfied as she can he, and
even more food of money than he is.' -
'They say so, my dear, certainly, said Mrs.
Frazer, she has never any civility towards those
who do not pay well; however, it may not be
so—we are not intimate with her.'
I began to see my error; I had thrown a,
spark,into a bundle of combustible, materials,
and I was obliged to wait patiently till the fuel
was burnt out, till I could divert theflame in ,
to a more safe direction. But it was in vain
that I tried to turn the conversation into-ano
ther channel, althciughmY-ellorts were strong
ly seconded by my niece, to wbbm the subject
'under discussion was as disPlessing as to my
self; strive ns we would we could not succeed.
My friend anal her 'daughter continued this

ingoverY character with which they came in
contact, a i led cutting down one by ono all my
hopes of finding any to love or respect amidst
pe large circle of human beings with which I
was surrounded.
The evening was now far advanced, and' I
gave the signal of departure, which Lizzie
was by no'means sorry to hail. I felt muoh
disposed to say on parting: as merciful to
ue when wo are gone as you can,' for I felt
that we had no more reason to expect imam
than any of those whoee frailties and foi
bles we had heard so freely commented on. I
was disappointed in my friends, for 'I Saw that
the - preeept, 'Speak not evil- c:wet '&nether,
brethren,!- was not present to their minds; I
was disappointed also in my hopes for'the fu
ture, because, although 'I could not bat be..

General and Mre. Tiokbr paid me their first
vist the • day after 1 had received those hints;
and whe'n the poor lady bad ewitohed her mouth
in, addition. with her foot, I could not help
thinking of her as Mrs. Twitcher, and as a few,
of the peculiarities, perhaps foibles, of this
good couple peeped out, I ani achanted to say
that the' ffeet of the Frazer's satirical remarks
was so strong on my mind, that allUwed my
self to be amused wirh a sort of quizzing feel
ing, instead of gentle trying whether there
might be some chord in the mina of one or the
other of them which might respond to •the
touch of a kindlyitand,• and make sweet mel
ody; and I kept the conversation at low ebb,
Mid suffered my visitors to depart without
discovering that beneath 'a rather unattractive
extetiorThern lay hidden hearts full of tender
est sympathies; that the gentleman was pos
sessed of a fund of information which needed
hut the touch of a congenial spirit,. to bring it
into pse, a spirit I had certainly not led him
to expect that he would find in me. Mrs.
Tidier's jamene'ss, I aftersvabds learned, Orig
inated in an accident she had encountered
whilst tenoning her husband through scenes
of war and suffering, and the twitching was a
spasmodic affection resulting front the injury.
How often have I thought -with shame on my
first interview with those good people I
It MB long ore I called on Alice Hartland;
1 1 but when I did I soon found reason to suspect
that the insinuation's against her were wholly
without foundation. The little foibles of man
ner which had been so severely condemned,
certainly existed : There were too many
"dearest:" and ..darlings;" but the poor child
appeared to boa genuine invalid, and most
desirous of becoming otherwise, tieing all
means-prescribed for her recovery, and ready
to own with thankfulness all progress towards
that evidently desired end. She had been
for many years confined to. her couch, but her
complaints were neuralgia, and hence arose
the idea that site could shake them off if she
would, but that she liked to -ho ill. Dr. Loyd
was named; and the burst of affectionate grat
itude'which awaited the mention of him, was
such ae to show that I hod not been altogether
mistaken in my original view of his character.
But when I learned that this fee-loving man
had' for several long years-watched over ,his
would-be invalid, bestowing on her his unva-.
rying attention, coming, sometimes for weeks
together, and at his busiest season, daily, or
even twice a day, and this "all for love, and
nothing for reward," and that though pressed
and urged repeatedly to accept some remu
neration, he had never been prevailed On to
tall? a single fee during the whole of his at
teudtince—l began, indeed, to Feel how un
-wiscily I had acted in allowing a doubt of his
worth to enter my mind.
It was years before the wounds inflicted on
that gossiping evening wore till healed, years.

SETTING OUT ORCHARDS
We know not how we can better subserve
the interests of our agriculturai friends, than
by repeating our,advice of this time last year.
Those who have no orchards on their estates,
or whose trees are old and dilapidated, should
1-et out new orchards, and be sure to plant none
but the superior kinds. Such fruits always
have, and always will bring good prices. An
acre in the best kinds of apples will yield more
profit than three or four acres iu wheat, corn
aerobium°. And it may be here proper tore
mark, that the demand for euperiorjruit is on
-the increase. Dig holes forty, feet apart each'
way, six feet square and two feet deep, place
the enrface soil on one side and the sub-soil
on die other; mix the- surface soil with an
equal quantity, of the mixture; with this fill
up th% hole, to the proper depth to receive the
tree; examine the roots and out off any part
that may have been broken, smoothly, insert
the Ntree so as to stand in the hole the dame
depth it
,did in the nursery. Let one man
hold the tree up straight while the other
spreads the 'roots carefully out, next drive
down o qtake to support the tree: then fill up
the hole with the mixture of compost and sur
face soil evenliwith the ground, giving to the
surface tishallow, basin-like form; .as the earth
la being put in; It, should be pressed down
with the foot by the planter, who must be cau
tious not io rend the pets in doing dhe .;
tree planted, confine it to the stake by a straw
band so as to prevent it from shaking arid

A KENTUCKIAN 'ON A
•
We have heard more or less of the poor
London weaver, win,. sitting at his lonely loom
one day, was apprized of a tremendous
flab uncle had died, and left the "poor
weaver", a cool bonus of $5OOO in bank assets,
besides landed property to some correspondink
amount. Well, as ye stories goes, the weaver

The weaver read the news with evident aston

all my.trciubles and travels again , to got rid of
this infernal fortune!" lie had to.
A story not utuilto that came off in onrpart
of the country recently. An old man living
in the interior of Kentucky, not overly, and
above "well off," in course of things fell,heir,
'tother day, tosurne $2BOO, cash, the prooeede
of divided property in New York. He re
ceived the information with a great deal of

'Oh I but I've got it, got it, sir ; only you

on tho Citizens' Bank., of Cinoinnati, for the
full amount.'

The Agent again related tho story, a little
cross questioning took place, when the Cap

table, in Captain Cattle style, says . •
