I promised to write, ; but I hardly knOw7 - here to begin. I have seen sompcb, and have had so many experiences, that it I: , difficult to seiect. You perhaps know that I spenua month in Great Britain, and three we,eks in Paris. Breaking allay from the at tractions of the gay capital, I sought relief . frdm the exhausting excitement of city life, by scaling the mountain-peaks of Switzerland. But what a change! In Paris you are con tinnally reminded of the beautiful in. Art.— You see it in he statues that adorn the gar dens and public places—in its paintings, its ornamental buildings, its magnificent streets and fountains. In Switzerland, you ari. among the works of Nature, gland and awe inspiring beyond conception: We crossed glaciers, , scaled mountains, and accomplished almost incredible feats ; but I cannot stop to tell you of them---:nor of our braving and fighting the storm:king on S. Bernard, and getting worsted and coming ,near paying a life-penalty for our temerity,-of the warmth of our reception by the kind Monks, who welcomed, warmed and wined us—how they fed us and next daraccorupanied us down the mountain, preceded by their noble dogs, and then bid us God-speed on our further wander ings-7rd being caught in the snows of .Rigi —of being lost and ascending. the trackless mountain, along yawning ,precipices, and at last safe in Rigi-Staffie. I will, however, give you a few jottings of our trip Wirt ugh Holland, which was about as interesting a portion,of our journey as any we have bad.— We had Leen to Antwerp, feasting our eyes op the master-pieces of the great. Painters and left there about noon for, Rotterdam. - At Meer-Dyke we were transferred bag and bag, gage, to a steamboat running ! through- mesh: antldown rivers. to . R.

BUEHLER, Eiii MARBLE WORK! i El = AI.IIOC I A TIO ;FoR THE F ?Ai AND LETTER ir4tox EUROPE. DRSSDP; (Saxony), Nov. IG, ISG7 been an "accident"—that ;the steamer. had collided with another, which stove in the kitchen, spattering the cook from head to foot with the meats and vegetablps intended for the dinner. gn reaehing the deck, I found the cook disengaging himself from chotis of mutton, cullotta of veal and, gravies. The , dinner, however, was pot entirelkabsindoned, the lack of edibles being made ,I,lp is bibibiex; The Dutch, men and women, took the mis hapl in admirable good humor. Arriving at Rotterdam, we were beset by half a dozen pelts in , the shape of men, and boys, who were so, eager to do us a service , in carry ing' l our luggage, that they nearly tore us, to pieces: As soon as we emerged froni the depot, recruits came running from all qqarters, who could tint be persuaded that we did pot need their services. They formed a cordon around us, impeding our progress.— We scolded and threatened, but all to no pur pose. After following us into the city, and finding us as decided as they were persistent, one by one they fell off, and , we found our lintel, I started out soon, after our arrival to see Rotterdam by gaslight. Entering one of the streets that seemed in great commotion, I found myself in a singular place and among singular people. It seemed to be the gather ing place of people who were bent on having a good time. Crowds were huying and sell ing at numerous booths anal stalls. Beer houses were in full and successful'operation, each having its own band, consisting either of a horn, a fiddle, a voice, &c., and each trying to outdo its neighbor in excess .of sound. As they were close together, the jar gon was amusing A horn was sounding in this beer house, a trumpet in the next, the gentle tones of a riddle in another, while above them all came the squeaking voice of a woman. The rattle of tumblers told of a thriving busineft. As I was sauntering along, enjoying the animated scene, a large boy came to my side and said, "Do you know the way, sir ?" I laughed and replied affirm atively. It is astonishing what anxiety these people evince lest you lose yourself. Repeat edly the inquiry comes, "Can I show you the way?" Leaving this scene, and passing through the principal business streets, my attention was attracted by the many beautiful wares in the windows. The stores were as well filled with costly goods as I have seen anywhere outside of Paris. But the costumes of these people amused me. They wear large woodcut shoes, very much like miniature gun-boats, too large ter their'feet, and they go clankin_ along the streets with much awkwardness.— Then the dresses of the women are simpl) petticoats. These are short, coming not be low the knees, and their legs look like invert ed ten pins. An apron is worn generally. ith a coat or sack c f some odd color or shipe, the whole surmounted by a large cat with, immense flaps (suggesting elephant l ears)t on each side. In my walk this mora ing I came across an oddity. Her short pet ticoat-was white, sack black, with a large cat ttn her lumtl. from which immense curtain riung; dawn the back, while out from under the cap and over her ears proceeded two api ral brass / springs tapering to a point. Al traeted by the grotesque costume I turnet round to examine it. As I did it t , io, she turner alsotind fora moment ortstro ja we stood act to Ace, tookinglit nreli - 44'filit.71Trz ,bought I was a queer specimen. I wen' home to tell the Dr. about her, while eh. doubtless went home to tell her friends of the queer man she had seen, wearing high leg gives reaching to his knees and a cap with two long tails! Next morning we both learned that we were regarded as curiosities. People stared at vs as we walked the street, smiling and occasionally laughing as we passed along. The women rush to the doors to gaze at us, while the men stop work ano make us subjects of remark. Whether it is the Dr.'s black gloves and gray suit, or my leggings and tailed cap,or both, that excite all this commotion, we have not yet learned. The houses are built with gable ends facing the street, and the canals are numerous and so interlace the streets that the Dutch mer chant can step from his dwelling into his ship and mil the world round. The aspect of the country is different from that of any other through which we have passed. Its surface presents a grand net work of canals, canal boats being - Ammo hither and thither by mel ancholy-looking horses. In our rumbles we are constantly encountering Wind-mills. Don Quixotte would have bad his hands fall fight ing the Wind-mills of Holland, numbering. as`they do, over I,ooo—some of enormous size, 150 feet high. with Immense arms pm , jecting SO aril 'SO feet and continually revolv ing, giving the country an exceedingly gro tesque appearance. The people make the most of their dogs here. It is. no unusual thing to see three of them harnessed to a cart. and we saw It single dog drawing a load of produce quite heavy enough for a horse. We were detained at one of the bridges whilS the boats were being passed through. The bridge was balanced and turned on its centre, foot travelers, of course, being de tained until the boats have passed. Each boat has to pay . toll, which the bridge - tender collects by swinging to the boat a small wooden shoe attached to a line and rod, the boatman depositing the toll in the shoe as the. boat passes the 'bridge. Nearly all the houses have looking glasses in the second story windows. For some time we could not imagism their use, but subse quently learned that they were, used for• the put pose of obsCrving what transpires in Ili, street without the trouble of going to the Win dow or exposini; the observer to public view. The mirrors are so placed as to reflect the street up and down, while a smaller one un lerneatb reflects the frontal the house.

Twentrilve years ago thia Iglght 9ctpber, when the maple trees were covered with , crim son and gold.. the, aqui:ammo. and asters were blooming, sad the gohleo, Viness ripening, a lovely little girl' *Yell with her sham in a happy home. Iii;; heauty was , rare. Health and grace were in every feMare. So lnilliant and beauteous was the expression that this sweet child's face ever wore, that passers by and strangers often paused to ad mire and comment on her unusual loveliness. ffer voice was musical as the" tones of a bird. I can, through all these years, still hear her silverytnes as s he warb l ed the hy mns o an d songs so familiar to her. Tam see her joyous face lit np,with plauture, as her scarcely leap happy grandfather tuned his great bass viol and Raid, "Come, Irene, let us have 'Sing, 0 Heavens, And bejoyful, 0 Earth." Her name, Irene, is the Greek word for Peace. Ido not know that her mother knew that, however, when she gave it to her, but never was name more fitting, So gentle and kind was her dispauition that it seemed next to im possible that strife and contention shoukl rut wire. her mild voice was heard. Among her schoolmates, as well as in the family, she was known as the little peaeenxaker. Five years her little life made beautiful this earth, and then the Lord had.need of her. One still October Sunday, such as those are now, Irene repeated for the last time her fa vorite psalms, and sang her anthems and chants, and read with her mother the closing chapters of Revelation, her sweet spirit glori fying God all day. At night the angel who comes once to all of us, came t.qher. Before another Sabbath dawned. the (ft- r child, who had truly loved the blessed Savior while on earth, was called by Him to sing the song of redeeming love before his throne In heaved. During her illness a friend sent some fine fruits to cheer her weary hours with their sight and fragrance. Among these were some large, ripe, golden quinces. Her sister Mary, a child of nine years, was passionately fond of Irene. She was, how ever, an ambitious student, with thoughts and studies far in advance ,at her years. •Impul- Ave, ardent, and intense in her nature, her power of loving was only equaled by her capacity for suffering. One noon time, when busily figuring a dif ficult sum in arithmetic, she was disturbed by Irene's request for a fresh drink. "Yea, pretty anon," she answered abstract- Aly, without looking up from her slate, A few moments passed, and again Irene called— "Mary, Mary, do get me some fresh water." "Yes, in a minute. Nine into seventy-six •fight times and four over," said Mary, all in one breath_ Again her sweet voice pleaded— "Oh, Ido wish kutd a drink. Won't you eud me your Ave and pencil to make me mie pictures, Mazy ?" But Mary, annoyed by the constant asking, and intent upon the finishing of a long line of -owe before school time, had lost her patience, And crossly exclaimed— "Oh, Irene.! -you trumping Illtkb thing;- sron'sre made me forget this whcle Tow,, ansir enanZ bwsls, time now to lam my wens before school time. What a plague!" - Then, for the first time. she looked upon and iilW the flushed cheeks and fevered lips of the 'sick mister, and her heart smote her. "I didn't know you were doing your sums, Mary," said the sweet voice, regr' cattily. . But Mary could not answer. She held the glass to her sister's lips, and sighed sadly.— Iler impatience was gone, but the grief for Tier unkind words was too sharp for words.— She caught up her bonnet and walked slowly to schooL The next morning& sound of hurrying steps through the rooms &wakened Mary from her sleep. Her eyes rested on her mother weep ing bitterly. A sadden agony of fear swept over her. "Is not Irene better? " she asked. "She is worse—she is dying!" sobbed hor mother. To dress and descend to Irene's bedside was the work of but few momenta. Too late ! The sweet spirit hovered on the border of the beautiful land, and the glory of heaven already rested on the lovely connten ince. The gentle lips murmured constantly, "Oh, who is it that I see, all dressed in white, so beautiful!" I stood by that bedside and saw the sad parting. And I knew that no one Of all that hand of sorrow stricken mourners carried so sharp a cross as aid that 'remorseful sister.— For I knew about the hasty words and the un gracious favor. The next day, as Mary wept beside the white-robed fbrm that lay so still and cold in the darkened parlor, she kissed again and again the waxen brow, and • murmured pas:- sionately between her sobs, "Oh, Irene, Irene, if only I hadn't been cross to you!" The golden quinces still laid upon the man tel, and *ll the room was'perfumed with their fragranci. And this week, as I walked in the quince orchard that belongs to Mary's beauti ful home, admiring the yellow fruits, thickly .lependlng on the boughs, I spoke of their de lightful fragrance, • Mary said--,"lt is a quarter of a century to- lay since Irene died; yet it seems to me but as yesterday. Through all these years I have 'lever smelled the fragrance of the ripening quinces without being instantly transported o that childhood home, and having the whole panorama. of Irene's sickness and death come .4:1 before me, viv,id and distinct in every par , ionise,' She sighed sadly. "In every partieuktr." • Oh, /knew tbat.the memory of those un kind works still rankled like a sharp arrow in uer heart. Oh, little darlings, who read this true story, he kind to your sisters. An bukind word may i:ause the pleasant orchard smells to give you rain, a quarter of a cantury , to come. good to your sisters.

The elephant was now sufficiently pinioned to allow the or der, , ` . `dierge pitchfork!'" to be given. Ten wen, armed with these ugly Implements of offense, plunged them into , the rampaging besot, taking care, of course, to avoid pene trating his eyes or joints. The tenderest spot in an elephant 'skim: behin4 his ferelegs, and that locality was . prodded unmercifully. By means of a hooked spear sunk into . his back, Tippoo was brought to his knees; but he sur ged up again with such awful strength that he swept his tormentors off their feet, and made his chains whistle like liddle-stiings.

He pulled so hard at times that his hind legs were straight out behind him, and three feet off the ground. At the end of the three 'hours, the giant gave in by "trumpeting," which is the ele phant way of crying "enough;" The mo ment this peculiar cry was heard the battle tweed. The keeper made Tippoo get upend lie down a number of times, and he was as obedient to the word of command ass gentle pony. The animal was then groonied and rubbed off with whiskey'. He allowed- all manner of liberties without so mach as flap ping an ear; he was a subjugated elephant.

Gold in the minutest particles is medlar or namentsl purposes in the form of pietism leaf, wash, etc., but one of its most delicate appli cations is that of a fine thread, either woven into a fabric of silk, used for embroideries, twisted into fringe, or nett• d into lace. In nor.e of these forme, however, is the thread a filament or wire of solid gokta the thread is gilded, and consists of two metals and a core 'of silk. . Wire for gold thread is ot silver with a coating of gold so infinitesimally thin as to be beyond our comprehension. . A rod of silver is mated with gold to a thickness of about one hundreth part ofthat of the silver, and then this silver gilt wire is drawn down to a wire much finer then the finest human hair, and yet it „will be then pafectly coated with the gold, still maintaining its relative thickness of one hundreth part, one-tenth the thickness-of fine gold leaf. This gilded wire is then passed between highly polished and birdseed tuilens and flattened; preparatory to being_spaa upon the silk thread. in this form of a illes.like ribbon it is so li,g,ht that a handful al& tossed is the sit will float in the suitosplene of a -room like gossamer. The flattened wire—ifito di minutiveness deserves tae mune—is spun around a thread of silk, covering it is a spiral coil, so closely laid that it appears like a solid gold thread, while in fact the gold is as noth ing compared to the other materiaL This thread is so delicate, although of triple coin-% position, that it can be easily threaded in a fine needle and used for embroidery purposes. It can be woven into silk or lido gold lace, or spun and twisted into cord, bullion, and fringe. The lace that decorates the uniforms ot our soldiers, and bullion fringe of their epaulettes which has such a massively rich appearance, is but this fine hair-like thread of silk, silver and gold. But the larger part of oar gold lace and other ornamental gilt maibrial Is base, having not a particle of gold in its composition. That which represents gold is merely one of the compositions having copper for a base, ductile and tenacious, and worked in the same man ner as iii the true gold thread. This wire, however, has no silver core, nor is it, usually spun upon silk, but on orange colored cotton. This is largely manufactured in this °Gentry, and when just from the workman's hand is very rich in appearance, but soon tarnishes, and if exposed to moisture turns green from oxidation, which quickly rots the cotton core. Gold thread and its manufacture are costly, not so much for the material employed as for the skill and care necessary In its production. It is wonderfully strong when properly made, and if protected from moisture the lace and embroidery will retain their lustre for years.— Scientific American. A LOOK .
