I know you are looking for a letter from
me,qt . 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

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

,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. How
convenient it Snit be to know who calls.

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

WHAT IS GOLD THREAD?
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.—
