The upper Mississippi.
DY AN OLD I'IONEEII
in no part of the United States can such sub
lime, romantic and beautiful scenery be found as
on the upper Mississippi. From Dubuque to the
Falls of St. Anthony, the views in many places
are majestic and delightful. No tour affords
more real pleasure in the heat of summer, and is
more invigorating to those who are in search of
health and rest from excessive mental toil, as a
passage on one of our spacious Western steam
ers. Passenger-boats, fitted up in superb style,
mid never over-crowded, depart daily from St.
Louie to Galena, w here a class of boats equally
convenient and comfortable, but drawing less
water, accommodate those who are destined to
the ',Falls."
The calcareous bluffs in many places exhibit
pyramids of naked rocks, which will remind the
European traveller of the crumbling walls of
ancient castles and lofty towers. Frequently
they rise to a giddy height above the water,
while the scattered oaks that cling to their sur
face seem to be mere shrubs. At one time the
river runs between two perpendicular walls of
rock that overhang its banks, and appear as if
by some mighty convulsion of nature they were
separated to give an undisturbed passage of the
water to to the ocean. In another place, a cliff
overhangs one bank, while an alluvial plain
stretches away from the oppo.ffe shore, clothed
in luxuriant grass and herbage, and sparkling
with flowers and other rural beauties of vegeta
ble
nature. in another place the hills recede
from either side—the river is widened and di
widest into divers:: channels, which pass between '
innumerable Islands. These are covered with
a dense growth of forest tress, and with tangled
masses of shrubbery and vines. The maple and
ash constitute the principal forest growth of
these Islands, while stunted cedars adorn the
cliffs, and gnarled oaks are scattered along their
summits.
A few places, deserving the attention of the
traveller, will be noticed in this communication.
Wen-rA-Surat PnAmy, on the right bank, is
one of the most beautiful in Minnesota. It is
about nine miles long and three broad, stretch
ing along the river, and gently swelling up from
its shore. The landscape is sufficiently undulat
ing, to make the view from the river delightful.
It is reported of the Winnebago Indians, when
they reached this prairie, on their journey from
Wisconsin to their new home, near Crow-Wing
river, that they lingered here with a peculiar
fondness for their old hunting-grounds. They
cherished the associations of the river and prai
rie, threw oil their blankets, and seemed deter
mined to take up their abode in this fertile
plain, until a reinforcement from the garrison of
Fort Crawford to their feeble escort, taught them
the propriety of submission to the arrangements
of their “Great Father."
Around this prairie, like an amphitheatre,
are ranges of bluffs, divided by ravines. In
places they are broken and precipitous, then
gently sloping, covered with timber, and exhib
iting a beautiful landscape. At the u,:per end
of this prairie was, recently, the ancient vil
lage or lrab-pa-Slash, or the Red Leaf Indians.—
One year since, about one hundred "pale faces"
arrived on this beautiful location, and now a
village and a farming settlement around of two
hundred families occupy their delightful grounds.
In no part of the 'Upper Mississippi river do
the rocks, cliffs, and naked bluffs, that line the
shore, exhibit more romnntic and picturesque
views than from Prairie du Chien to Lake Pepin.
Frequently the upper portion of the bluff is a
naked, perpendicular precipice, extending along
the river like a wall, or peering up like a regular
pyramid. On the west side are several of these
pyramids, which appear as if cloven in their cen
tre, leaving a perpendicular wall of rock exposed
to the river. A few miles above Lake Pepin
was another Indian village, of the Sioux Nation,
on the west side of the river, called 'l'u-lang.a.
rna.nr, or the bird with a red wing. Near this
village is a half pyramidial bluff, with the grass
and herbage growing to its very top. Nut far
from Wa-pa•shah prairie, and somewhat in its
rear, is a range of eminences, that have received
the name of Tan EA.crm
Conspicuous among them is one elevation
called the "Sugar Loaf." or more applomiately,
the "Twns: Mc:Lai/1.1N." Its name has been
derived from an Indian legend, which ran as fol
lows:
Two bands of the Sioux quarreled about a re
markable hill, situated some fifty miles above the
Mt-pa-shah, or Red Leaf Peon ic, in which the
latter claimed an equal interest, and IA h :eh n
, lang-a-ma-ne, or the Red-Wing band refused to
yield. All diplomatic negotiations having failed,
and exceedingly hostile feelings engendered in
the dispute, had increased to that pitch, that
both parties resol‘ed on war. Yet, they were
of the same nation, belonged to the same tribe,
and anciently had come from the same family.—
The preliminaries of uncovering the tomahawk,
holding a season of fasting, and the scalp-dance,
had been enacted by each party; and blood, the
blood of kindred, mu,t flow! The Red Leaf
party entered on the war-trail, with the fell pur
pose of exterminating their brethren, the Red-
Wings, who held possession of the contested hill.
At this fearful crisis, Wah-han Ton-la ("Father
of Life") took pity on the deluded bands, with
the resolve to defeat the wicked machinations of
WaJan She-ha, (the Evil Spirit.) Calling to his
aid the Thundercr, he raised a storm-cloud, on
which he rode from his dwelling place in the
Western sky, and made the night fearfully dark,
so that the war-party lost their way. Next
morning, when the terrible storm hail passed
over, they found themselves on Wa-pa-shah Piai
rie, near their village. In the darkness and
storm, the "Father of Lila" had divided the
mount, and removed one half to the vicinity of
the Eagle Rocks for their benefit, and lett the
other with the Red-Wing people. Thu. peace
was preserved, and front that time the two bands
have been friends.
La Montange 7 ai Trempe a r CCM is an isolated
mountain, or rocky island, that, at a distance,
seems to Ilse from the centre of the river, to the
height of several hundred feet, %%hese it termi
nates in crumbling peaks of naked rock, and ap
peals like some gigantic battlement of a former
age. Around its base is an island covered with
forest tree', whose deep, green foliage Rums a
pleasant contrast with the barren cliffs which
cast their sombre shadow over the liver. It is
a mile or more in circumference, and the loftiest
eminence on the river above the Wisconsin.—
, The rocky strata, like the adjacent Wolfs, is mag
nesmn limestone, with a base of sandstone, and
has the appearance of a portion of the bluffs cut
off from the main shore, by some mighty con
' vulsion, or the rushing of the waters in sonic
by-gone period. The two channels of the river,
' including the Island, are mole than a mile wide,
and heighten the grandeur of the pi aspect. his
singular mount has long attlacted the attention
of the royagcnis of the Upper Mississippi, as it
did the aborigin es of the country, who called it
Choud.ah-hab, or the WWI in the rater.—
The Sioux regarded it as the residence of a Ma,
kan, or spirit, and both classes have a supersti
tious fancy, that at a certain season in every
year it sinks a few feel in the rater—as doubt
less it does at every rise of the river. Hence,
the French royergems named it La Montagne qui
'limp duns reaur—“The Mountain that soaks
in the rater." The ascent is difficult, not to
say perilous. The summit is a not row ridge,
but a few yards in width, running, north and
south; the west side is a precipice and the east
side a grassy slope. From its summit the view
is grand and imposing. The scene unfolded is
spacious and splendid. Hill-top on hill-top, for
est after forest, are seen on all sides, while far
below the feet of •the spectator, the Mississippi
rolls, iu devious channels, amidst its numerous,l
woody Islands.
CPWhen Dante was at the Court of Signore
della Scala, then Sovereign of Verona, the prince
said to him one day, "I wonder, Signor Dante,
that a man so learned as you arc. should be hated
by all my court, and this fool") pointing . to his
favorite buffoon, who stood by him) "should be
by all beloved." Dante replied: "Your excel
lency would wonder less, if you considered, that
we like those best who most resemble ourselves."
pA country physician went to see a patient
and took with him a gun, that he might wing any
game he encountered in crossing the fields. A
friend meeting him on the way, asked him whither
he was going. "To see a patient," was the an
swer. "What, then," said his friend, "do you
really fear that you will miss him in the ordi
nary way, that you take your gun with you?"

saw Him do it.--Worth Reading.
IF.aw a laborer weary from los ‘‘ork. I saw
him stoop and take a stone that lay in the path
way of passing wheels, and east it out of the
road. This sight did me good. This :tore
might be struck by a passing wheel to the di--
comfort perhaps of a traveller, and possibly the
injury of the vehicle. It was hind in the man to
remove it.
“What a trifle for a newspaper paragraph!”
says a captious one. Not so, my friend. The
act was small, but the motive noble—that small
act, the pi inciple 011 wlucii it is based, is of un
speakable value to the human race.
I love to trace things, especially such things,
to their fountain. That man had emotion in his
soul when he stooped to pick op that stone. He
felt right. It was kiwi in Ii I have a right
to think that act was but one of the links of a
chain—and never was a chain made of better
material—love for the is elfare of others. Such
a chain is all gold. The man had done such
things before, 1 could not doubt. Ile would do
such things again. It cost him something to do
this, for there was a pelting slum in of sleet, and
he carried an umbi elle, and he must pause in his
rapid walk to do it. Well done, my humble
;friend, if every other would stop and pick out of
, the path of his fellow travellers through life the
things that VOX and annoy them, how many
sunny faces there would be in the place of scowl
ing ones! Drops make a shower; give enough
of them. Such acts as this man's—give enough
of them, and how great a shower of blessings.—
flow much misery would be prevented!
I shall not stop here. He that will do such
things will do greater things. That will show
what the fountain is. He has a kind heart. He
will remove larger_ stones than that from the
path of human life. Give me that man for my
adversity. lle who has honored the small draft
will honor the greater. llrs good will not be
exhausted by that effoit.
It was a trine, was it? ('lease then think, my
friend, it can be but a trifle for you to do such a
thing. Do every sort of thing—anything that
will remove obstructions out of the path of hu
man happiness. Give your neighbor a jog to do
so too. Perhaps he shall pass the jog along, and
we shall joggle some of 1.E.,` SeifiolatleSS out of the
human heart.—.N. Evangrlist.
Is Religion. Ileauti fut.
Always! In the child, the maiden, the wife,
the mother, religion shines with a holy, benig
nant beauty of its own, which nothing of earth
can mar. Never yet cc as the female character
perfect m ithout the steady faith of piety.—
Beauty, intellect, wealth! they ale like pit-falls,
' dark in the brightest day, oidesi the divine
light, unless raigi.o/ throw her soft beams
around the in, to partly and exalt, makoig twice
glorious that t 1 hl eh seemed all loveliness before.
Religion is very beautiful—in health or sick
nesc, in wealth or Neel ty. We never cuter the
sick chamber of the good, but soft mmdc seems
to float on the air, and the burden of their song
is, i•Lo! peace is ben.''
Could w e look into thousands of families to-day,
when dr-content sits lighting sullenly with life,
we should find the chief cause of unhappiness,
wont of nligwa in r( I,ln.
And in felon's cello—in places of crime, mis
ery, destitution, ignorance—we should behold, in
all its most hot rade defoi mity, the flint of me-
ligion in woman
Oh, ieligion! being . nant majesty, high on thy
throne thou sit test, glorious and exalted. Not
above the clouds, for earth-clouds come never
between thee and the truly pious soul—not
beneath the clouds, for abo‘e thee is heaven,
opening through a broad vista of exceeding
beauty.
Its gates in the splendor of jasper and precious
stones, white with a dewy light that neither
flashes nor blazes, but steadily proceedeth from
the throne of God. Its towers bathed in reful
gent glory ten times the brightness or ten thou
sand suns, yet soft, undaztling to the eye.
And there religion points. Art thou weary?
it whispers, "rest—up there—forever." Art
thou sorrow ing? "eternal joy." Art thou weigh.
ed down with unmerited Ignominy? "kings and
priests in that holy home." Art thou poor?
"the very street before thy mansion shall be
gold." Ait thou friendlesq "the angels shall
be thy companions, and God thy friend and
Father."
Is religion beautiful? We answer, all is deso
lation and deformity where religion is not.
'Said one to an aged friend, "I had a letter
from a distant correspondent the other day, who
inquired if you were in the land of the living."
"co," replied the saint-like, venerable man, "but
lam going there. This world is alone the lard
of shadows; and the eternal is the only one of
living realities."
