CORRESPONDENCE O F 4 , 13E.E. GLOMS:
Mn. EDITOR::-4 take my pen to while an
hour away, and also, to transmit a few lines
to your columns.
Changes of country, scenery, andnew ob
jects arising on every side, have wrought new
feelings, awakened new sentiments, and arousd
all those finer feelings, that changes from dull
to lively, are wont to do. It has been said.
that "variety is the spice of life," and truly
it is. It is very pleasant to observe the con-.
trast between this and my own State; not
that I think this more beautiful, only in some
respects; but I will not give my opinion of
this State, until you know the beautiful State
in which I reside.
My husband and I, started from a small
village in the interior of the Buckeye State,
last Monday morning, and novel was our ride
that day; not only novel from changes of
scenery, but from the variety of human spe
cie that crowded the cars. On this side, we
were elated by the lively tones of a cosy lit
tle group, rendered 'laughable by the "rich
- Irish brogue," while on the other, "sweet
German accents," hailed our ears, and per
haps, not few, were raw " Vairm ounters,",
talking in high shrill tones, about the "won
derful fixins'" of something - connected with
the cars; everything seemed to attract their
attention; the most wonderful thing to them,
was the engine, that was something that
"beat them." One gentleman, with his fam.-
ily, a wife and three interesting children, at
tracted my attention a great part of the time.
At every station we stopped, he would take
those three children out of the cars, and walk
to the engine, look over, under, and at the
side of it, wondering, I suppose, how the tar
nal thing ever was made ; his wife would hear
the same every time, "Wall if that don't
beat me, that ar engine is worth a feller's
money, just one sight of it. I'd jist gin a
fip, to know how a feller ever made sick
thing as that," and too, he was very anxious
the children should see all; every few min
utes, you would hear, "you Peggy Ann, don't
go to sleep, keep awake, and see all there is
to be seen," and then, Theodore Alvin, keep
still for mercy's sake, or you'll set a feller
crazy;" finally, lie made a compromise with
them, by telling them he would buy "two
cents worth of candy at the nest - town, if
they would only jist keep still."
We were going at the rate of 30 miles an
hour, between Mansfield and Loudonville,
when suddenly we came to a final stop, all
eyes were turned immediately to the win
dows, to ascertain the cause. Presently, the
.conductor came in and told us very pleasant
ly, that the bridge had been injured by high
water, and we would all have to walk some
few rods, after we crossed the bridge, where
we would find two cars, one passenger and
one baggage; we walked over through mud
and water, crowded in hundreds of us, and
rode in that way, seven miles, when we again
hatted. Another bridge washed away! Hor
ror! had we to walk through the mud again?
No, on looking up a hill, we saw carriages
and wagons enough to contain all, and soon
we were on our way ; we rode two miles and
again took the cars, where we remained until
near midnight, when we arrived safely at
Pittsburg.
We staid there, in that horrible, dismal
place, two days, and left for this place. I
was perfectly charmed with the scenery on
this road; for miles its was completely em
broidered with beautiful evergreens. Thous
ands of trees stood there almost unnoticed,
-vilile we value a. few, very highly, we hail
them as perfect treasures for our yards. I
could but sigh, when I saw so many uncared
for, and many cut down or destroyed. Kit
tanning Point is a frightful looking place. I
shuddered at the thought of being iu such
danger. One moment, and one might have
been in eternity. Terrible thought ! But I
will not dwell on that. I tremble at the
thought of it yet. Those tunnels are remem
bered! especially the last one; darker than
"Egyptian darkness" could. be. The lamp
almost failed to give light in the midst of such
darkness. We hailed the light again with
joy, and were soon going at a great speed.—
This is a beautiful morning, cold and clear.
Business men step briskly around, idle ones
walk dreamily around, with both hands thrust
in their pockets, whistling some old slow tune,
while the juvenile part of the community, are
running up and down the pavement, joyous
as birds, ever and anon stopping to trip the
light fantastic toe.
Happy childhood! Those children little
think this the most pleasant, the sweetest part
of their existence. They see not, and know
not the cares of life that await them. May
their path be strewn with pleasure's flowers,
and their mission on Earth be performed to
the joy of Him who assigned it to them. I
am pleasantly situated in a village of your
county, where I am stopping for a few days,
and as I raise my eyes to the window, hills,
that appear to me as great mountains, en
counter my gaze on every side. I have often,
in fancy, gazed on the cloud-capped summits
of mountains, and very often pictured the
niountaneous scenery of the EaSt, but never
were my anticipations so great, as my reality
now is; fancy was nothing to the reality.
I think this country beautiful, very beau
tiful. Hills arising in every direction, with
lovely valleys stretched between, renders it
delightful ; and brooks, clear as a crystal,
lined with evergreens, here and there pour
ing over some cliff, or bank, makes one think
of young Niagara's. The "Blue Juniata"
is a beautiful stream, and from the song of
it, beautiful associations are Connected.
I have been scribbling on unconscious of
the flight of tiine. On looking at clock,
I find It is time I was closing my prosy let
ter. M. A. H. B.

THE BOOK OF THE AGE.-"'TIS
MUCH TO SAY. YET TRUTH TO SAY IT"—REC

I HAVE SEEN IN EUROPE AND AMERICA,
By S. G. Goonmen, the veritable "Peter Parley," author of

This work embraces the prominent public events of the

autobiography of the author—his early days, education,
and literary career; and an amount of original, curious,
and valuable personal incident, anecdote and description,
seldom, if ever, met with in a single work. It is the au

in blended amusement and instruction, has ever been pub

umes, of which seven millions of copies have been sold!
and this the great work of his life time, embodies the con

Goodrich was a private soldier; the Dartford Convention,
whose operations took place under his immediate observa
tion, and with most of the members of which ho was per
sonally acquainted. Embracing curious and interesting
details respecting old Jeffersonian Democracy, Old Feder
alism, and Connecticut Blue Lights; curious and marvel
lous events connected with the rise and progress of reli
gious sects in the United States; with descriptions of the
French Revolution of 1838, and Louis Napoleon's Coup
d'Etat, both of which the author witnessed. Also, a full
account of the 'Peter Parley's Tales,' of which four mil
lions have been sold.
In the course of the work will bo found pen and ink
portraits of over Two Hundred celebrated persons—Presi
dents, Vice-Presidents, Kings, Queens,Emperors, Soldiers,
Poets, Wits, Enthusiasts, Physicians, awyers, Politicians,
Diplomatists, &c.—all described from personal acquaintance

Front the earliest period to the present time, the history

given. By S. G. Goomuctt, author of several works of His
tory, 'Peter Parley's Tales,' &c.
It is believed that the above work will be very accepta
ble to the American public. It is the result of years of
toil and labor. assisted in his researches by several scholars
of known ability, and has been got up at a great expense
by the proprietors. No pains have been spared in the ex
ecution of the Illustrations arid Maps, which are prepared
expressly for this work. Indeed, all the other historical
writing of Mr. Goodrich, . sink into insignificance, when
compared to this, the result of his riper and matures years.
it is admitted that one hundred dollars could not purchase
the Caine matter in any other shape, and the publishers
confidently expect, in consideration of the great literary
value of the work, the large sum expended in preparing
it for the press, and the exceedingly moderate price at
which it is offered, that it will be favorably received by
every lover of good books. Many of our first scholars, di-
Villett and gentlemen, who have examined the work, have
given it their unqualified approbation and commendation,
which it richly deserves.
