To study out the old tombs and' slabs of the I.6th . nd 17th centuries wasituite interesting. Skulls, cross bones, and othe ( r bas-reliefs appear on many of them. A short ride by rail brings us to Callender, where we take the_ coach for the lands of Fits jaiiies and Roderick Mu. [lei soon came to the Coilantogle ford over the Teith a few rodi'to the road. This is the spot to which Roderick pro mised to convey Fitz James in, safety, and when they arrived here - he challenged him to single combats • "And thou roast koep thee .witlf thy sword." We now run arong .the edge of Loch Vena char, a beautif4illhiet Witei .some five miles long, With Ben venue' rising in the background: LeavlOo. oo the lake'we,eroSS the '.'Bringcr o f Turk,"O a single stonearch, over which Fitz James rode upon his gallant gray. We soon come to the borJer of LoCh-AChiray, the next" in this magic chhin of lakes. The'road follows its shore, and we ramble along " Upon the margin of the lake, Between the precipice - and brake." We soon arrive at this beautiful Trossachs Hotel, a'fine stone:hiLilding, whose front is flank ed by round towers with conical tops, in imita tion of old Feudal style. The charming little . Loch Achray Spreads out before us. A few rods beyond is the narrow pass of the Trossachs, where the "gallant gray" fell. His bones do not lie here; , but the guide points out the ," exact spot" where the gray died, and where Fits James cried out in his agony, , 4 Woe worth the chase, woe worth the day, That costs thy life, my gallant grayY Through the pass we emerge upon Loch Ka trine, an enchanting lake, with tangled under brush corning down to the water's edge. A little steamer awaits us here—the " Rob iloy,'":a per fect beauty in model and general appearance. It won emerges from the rustic landing, winding between hills and among islets until the expanse of the lake opens before us. In his boyhood days "Walter Scott spent several of his summers on this lake and its neighborhood, which acaounts for his locating here his most charming poem. We soon come to Ellen's Isle and pass around - it. It is about 100 yards long and 50 or 60 wide, rising from the water's edge to a height of :50 or GO feet in the centre. It is so thickly covered with trees and vines and underbrush as to form the perfect hiding-place that Scott has painted it. We soon come to the little cove overhung by a projecting oak tree, whence Ellen's boat shot out when she heard the winding of Fitz James' horn. 3. "But smite again his horn he wound ,‘ When lo! forth starting at the sound From underneath an aged oak That slanted from the islet rock, A damsel guider of its way, A little skiff shot to the bay, That round the promontory steep Led its deep line in graceful sweep, Eddying, in almost viewless wave, ..The weeping willow twig to lavo, ltye, yrith,whispe.ring sound and slow, The beach of pebbles bright as snow.

CASA Guinr, FLOR.F.NOB,• 00t. 9, 1867. I walked with a genial friend, this evening, to see the sun set over the city from that Golgotha called "San Minat; , ." We were just in , time. There, far below us lay the city—about the: vast donie, which, towered, as majestically as any of the mountains around it. The tops of the, hills were covered with snow, which turned to gold in the glory of the Italian sunset. It was a rare view, never to be forgotten. But the snow did not once take on the rose tint that gives the name to Montellosa'; which I saw again and again frtim the pinnacled roof of the Milan cathedral. Below us on the slopes of the mountain, the olives and the figs were ripening in their orchards, and it was difficult to believe that the city which seemed so peaceful could be the ever restless city of Florence. But so it was, and RIBALDT gave occasion for the last grand excitement, and caused more talk and gesticulation than will ever be imagined on the other side of the Atlantic : though now, for the present, the political excite ment is waning. The streets are full of carica tures of sick priests, and the Pope confounded and running away, or standing aghast at appari tions of Garibaldi. Visitors at POWERS' STUDIO, find the genial sculptor t work on a new marble entitled " The Last of the Tribes." It is an In dian girl fleeing from civilization, and gives prom ise of great beauty. There, too, one sees , a re duplication of the Greek ` slave; the Eve; Ed ward Everett, and the full and beautiful form of "CALIFORNIA," pointing with her divining rod to the quartz which bears _the gold, and in her left hand, which is behind her, the thorns which adventurers so often feel in the Lind of gold. I saw there one bust, with a face of such an ex traordinary sweetness, I could not help remark ing concerning it. " It is my daughter," said Mr. Powers. On Sunday I went to the SCOTCH CHURCH which is under the care of Rev. John R. Ross, in the absence of. Mr.McDougall, boimpelled4o re turn fora time to ScotlatuL by health'. .To my great satisfaction, I got both a comfortable seat and a good sermon—a combination of bless ings which one does not often find on the conti nent. The Free Church of Scotland- have secured a small palace on the Lung' Arno, a part of which they use for a ehurckancl the rest for a parson age and for renting. The place of worship is elegant and comfortable. In the afternoon a dis course was delivered by an American minister, who happens to be in this city. The pulpit was interesting. to me as being that in which Dr. tethune preached his last sermon'; the house was shown me, two doors, further oti, where he "died. It - was equally interesting to me, in the evening to visit the Waldensian church and lis ten to'ntijr,ilian sermon, which I did not under stand at all, but which I had reason to believe contained the pure gospel of Christ. The con gregation was quite large, and the speaker, one of the professors of the Waldensian college, ;ceeinedeartiest, nd fel eitoas i lgis asc of 44 musical •langm,sge,.. , ,L , zegrety-aiowever, to -leacn that it is the ippreasion that just now Protest : autism here_ rather holding its own, than VI, making rapt progress ! , put great numberq of good being books andes aye . b een soldand'are i stll bein sold. na cannot fail to produce r•' • 01 - r' gOO resul4 seoneroilater. . • • Papalhe . churches, are thinly , attended.

He is a member'of one of.our Churches and may have been thinking of a cold chnich and a shiveiingcorigregation; and'he ev idently thought the congregation ought'to, Comfortable, in order to hear well' the preaching of the gospel ; so he invented a furnace. . . We Speak of the " Solartypt; a Hot-Air Fur nace," patented by J. C. Cochrane, and manu factured hy E. E. Sill, both of this `city; and we believe that we shall be doing the public good service by calling attention to it. Those who are preparil i tg to warm churches, and other pub lic buildings, or. private dwellitt-e-weeld- tl.O-w • we are sure, to look at it. It is called the " So lartype," because it aims to give as nearly as possible, the solar, or summer, heat. Its peculi arities are! , twefoldlairge-"stela of pure air, moderately heated, (instead of a little air burned, and dry, and unbreathable,) and' great economy in the consumption- of fuel. G. W. M All red' hot' surfaces are carefully shielded. The air'does not rise to a temperature above that of boiling water. One may stand upon the regis ter, and breathe With as much comfort as when he `inhales the gentle breeze of suminer. One of these furnaces, ,(of medinm size; 'with fire-box 15 xl6 inches) was recently put into the Central church—of.this ,city. First the hot air registor,wl4 cloublett,in size, ,making• the sur face about twelve square feet. A full and steady volume of air was poured through this, at a tem perature of 123 to 180 degrees, never reaching the boiling point' of Water, so that the air was pure, unburnt and of great comparative density. The economy of fuel is secured by having a large ra'diating'surface." to warm the air, by slow and yet perfeCt combustion, and by a simple con trivance, on the principle of Davy's . Safety Lamp, to retain the flame, while the consumed gases pass readily away. It is believed that a saving of fifty per cent on the consumption of fuel may be thus obtained. The furnace in the Central church was' filled on Mond iy, and maintained a good fire Without replenishing until Wednesday night; much longer than the same amount of fire would last in any common furnace. In colder weather more coal would, of course, be necessary; but the relatiVe saving would always be the same. For churches, and parsonages this, surely, is an important recommendation in These times. Hard Coal, soft coal, or coke may be used, and there is.rto clinker, no sticking of soft coal to the fire pot. The fire is easily kindled, and need not be kindled but once, where the furnace is used daily, for the entire winter. It can be thorough ly c'eaned out without dumping, and can be reg ulated with the utmost ease, so as to give much heat or little, according to the weather. We have examined the matter, and can speak well for the Solartype. - In the Lectnre Room of the Presbyterian church at Penn Tan, cards are posted upon the walls, ?with the 'following valuable suggestions concerning the Prayer-meeting, printed in capi tal letters, so that they may be easily read by all who' come into the place. Such counsel well heeded would not fail to make the prayer-meetings of the church always interesting : FEEL IT YOUR DUTY TO BE PRESENT.

This is but a small portion of the entire track of this corpo ration. If the rest is as well supplied with la borers, it must take about 2,000 men only to take care of the road itself GENESEE. ROCHESTER, Nov. 9, 1867. FROM OUR CHICAGO CORRESPONDENT ROCK ISLAND, Nov. 5, 1867 DEAR AAIERIOAN :—The region immediately around this face has much.to interest a. stranger. Directly opposite, on the lowa side of the Mis sissippi, and beautifully located on bluffs gradu ally ascending from the river, is the flourishing city of Davenpoit, now claiming a population of 16,000 to 18,000, and rapidly increasing, both in numbers and commerce. Many years ago it pos sessed a New School Presbyterian organization, but the ground was subsequently last to us, and has never been recovered. It ,is much against our interests in this region that we are unrepre sented at so inip-rtant a point. The same is true of both Muscatine and Burlington, a little lower down, at both which we should be strong, but have no church in either. The island from which this city derives its name, and which in part lies between the two towns, is a charming spot; and is being rapidly converted, by the Goverument,'not only into a vast depot of warlike stores and munitions, but into a most beautiful and attractive resort. The island is three miles long by an average width of half a mile, and affords some fifteen, miles of fine drives, by its various roads, nearly all the way through the native forest with which it was orig inally entirely covered. Magnificent buildings are in process'of erection for the manufacture of arms of all descriptions, and for the accommo dation of the officers and,soldiers to be stationed here. The outlay will be immense, and the re sult one of the largest and most important of all our military stations, worthy of the great milita ry power to which recent events have so sudden ly raised us. Upon the south end of the island are seen the remains of old Fort Armstrong, --for many years one of the most important of our Western posts, and much resorted to by the Indians of these parts for treaties and annuities. • Both a railroad and a wagon bridge connect the island with the Illinois shore, and the former with the lowa shore also. Four miles below, and two miles above tho point where tke *Ws of Rock River enter into the Mississippi, a manufacturing company, wi t h a capital of a million of dollars 3 is throwin g dam across the „Rock River. and laying the foun dations of extensive manufactories. The water power is practically boundless, and a large and busy town will probably soon occupy the site. This spot has'an hitereSting history. In the speculative...times. 0f : '35.. was ,. selected as th e site of "Rock,city," a large: ,city which was to .be* The-ground for miles_abont was laid out in c , city lots," and disposed of to greedy buyers.

Rev. W. W. W.etmore. This church has had a history of continued trials and discouragements, It bas, however, an edifice ,worthy of any city or congregation in . the .country,,and we confidently anticipate for it, a brighter , future. The 0. S. Church here is also_ weak, and has talked much of ti Vnion"---alwaye explaining, however, that this meant simply their readiness to absorb our body, with its handsome house .of. worship, and a first-class minister thrown in. Strangely enough out:friends are unable to comprehend this style of " union," and beg to be excused. FRUIT IN OLD AGE.—The last number of the Bible`Society Record notices the work amen plised by a lady of Fulton county, N. Y , seven ty-t.wo years of age, who evidently takes the most literal view of the command to be faithful unto death. The Bible Society of that county relies largely upon voluntary effort for finding out and supplying the destitute within its own bounds, and also for obtaining, by personal solic itation, donations for the general work of the national Society. It speaks well for the spirit of the churches that many of the most intelli gent and honored ladies in the county cheerfully engage in this service'lbut the lady above men tioned affords the most remarkable example of fidelity and success. She has, during the pass summer, visited her whole district on foot, sup plied with her own hands every destitute family, and collected for sending the Bible abroad the largest sum ever obtained for her district. We often hear of a beautiful old age, but the term Is doubly appropriate when religion is then as con spicuous in its activity as in its serenity. Old age may modify the nature and conditions of service for our Lord, but the work of religion is life work. " In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO run Lono." My soul has been comforted several times in receiving letters from a certain friend, by the pre cious promises printed as headings to his note paper, and I have wondered that so excellent au idea was not more generally reduced to practice. Especially would it seem appropriate for onr ministers to have some carefully selected texts printed at the head of their letters, thus carry ing to the eye of every correspondent, a sentence of the "living word" which is never sown in vain• And 'not to ministers alone, but to every ear nest laborer in rthe vineyard, this offers a plejB - way to scatter the precious seeds of truth. The expense is trifling. Who will try it WILLIAMSPORT PA. NORTII-IY EST
