LETTERS FROM A TOURIST.
larri.Lrps, N. 11., June '2O, 1.373
North Conway is the eastern gate
eflthe White Mountains. Not long
ago it Was only poSsible to approach
mci
the untains on this sido by long
,
and, to tho weak in body, fatiguing
stage rides, but noW trains run from
both Boston and Portland to this
point. To be sure those who take
the cars lose the wonderful bea ty of
Lake Winnipeseoges, and this the
exhilarating charm Of the stage ride
through the hills and valleys, a d b 9
the mountain stream's, .of whit we
have, spoken in la fOrmer letter.
comPensatp for these, ' there' is
saved and .the possibility of a vii
want' whoheretofore sh
rose the inevitable' hardships o'
ld methods of travel. :
m
' North Conway itself is [a beautiful
spot, situated in the broad valley of
:the supper Saco River, an I surround
ed by the peaks of the lofty hills.
Mt. Kearsarge is the n arest peak,
and upon its bald; flea summit a
hotel has been erected or the ac
commodation of those who choose to
make the ascent. A rude road has
been constructed, and poniesre at
hand 'to carry the climber, ther
means of aeces's being ithpossib e. In
the villaos itsclrtliere are amp e ac
commodations; fer,a large nunser ! ol
visitors,—seven or;eight large otels,
among which the " Kearsarge" is the
f ic„
largest and most 'fashionable. And
here let me state for tho be filed
those who love to ramble among such
scenes, that it is iterribly expensive
to mike a trip to this region, is a
very 'great error.: All through the
mountains there , are 'many places
Where'good accommodations an be
had for from 48 to $lO per we k. I
had no difficulty in finding such
places, and if One goes 'for th put :
pose of real enjoyment of the s enery
and not for foolish display, h will
be under,no necessity of payin from
$4. ,to $6 per day, which ar the
charges at the leading hotels. ln-
Mediately in the peighborho, d of
North Conway, the fishing cannot be
'said to be .good, ! the streams :being
haunted continually bythe : small
boys - of the village and the guests at
the hotels. But North Conway is a
good point at which to stop, and
frcn4 thence make excursions into the
neighborinr , points of interest in
'Maine and New Hampshire.
From this place- stage lines yin t,:,
Craivford Hoses in
the Glen and
t i.
the heart of the mountains. chose
the former route, and after 'a de
lightful ride of 21 miles, along the
swift waters of the Saco, Gler., Ellis
and Peabody rivers, reached this fa
mous'hostlery. On the way the dri
ver, courteously stoppedlo give us an
opportunity of viewing the On El
lis Falls—a sight of wondrous beau
ty,: The little river about the size of
Towanda creek,:leaps down a sheer
precipice about 80 feet, and bursts
into a mass of: foam on - the hpge
boulders below.: All,preund are the
primeval forests, no innOvaion tit
i i
bunion. art disfigurea the •wid, ro
mantic beauty of the tkene, but it re
mains ono of , Nattire's unadorned
geins, with no artificial settin.
.As we ride along, and the shades
of evening begin tO fall, we re not
long in discovering that it is owing
i
cold. The wind roars' down be ra
vine, and our teeth fairly ch tter as
we now' and then cast a gl nce,at
the great snow banks on 'the moun
tain sides. At last we' reach t e Glen
House, restinglat 'the very oot. of
Mt. Washington.
To a person accustomed to the,
long, continuous ontlines of tbe Penn
sylvania mountains, ;the first Impres
sion of the White Hills is exceeding
ly grand. -, The different peeks rise
up distinct and:clear, not merged or
flowing into one another, but isolat
ed, each a perfect mountain by itself.
There is none of that wave-like form
common to the Blue' mountains.
They realize n:kme vividly the idea
which a dwelle;on the. plaina , forms
from reading, or from the pictures
which adorn our common school ge
ographies -- peaks I clearly eatlined,
rising in solitary !grandeur to, the
clouds. The portion of the, moan
ts'n near the top ii not wooded, but
present'S only a: surface of bare, un
fruitful rock, which here from its pe
culiar whiteness gleams in the sun
light and gives ''a name to the group.
Running through tho mountains are
fearful gorges, almest impassible, and
giving views of Nature, the most
wonderful and Sublime. 1 4ere may

holder with More aie, simply on ac
count of their vastruiss, but there can
certainly be cone where all the sali
ent features of mouiltain scenery are
combined, to !make 0, better picture.
Here we',ave precipices high enough
to make your blotss run cold ; the
solemii twilight •of the unbroken
woods; the leap of the cataract, and
the quiet shimmer of the lake. There
are gorges where the snow rarely if
ever melts, and alwiiya until July or
August it is possiblejor one to trans
port himself from aOnes of Bummer
beauty, in a few mitintes to the re
gion of snow and Winter. All thro'
the itaediate '
section occupied by
the mo taine, a priiiieval wilderness
prevails and we 16k to-day' upon
t t l
the iden 'eel acenes,,! which met 'the
gaze of the first whi,o3 men who pen
etrated "ems regione. There are no
farms, o settlemenb3, one of ' the
.encroachments of ci*ilizWon, except
exscrabl wagon reads, which, ' are'
not muc of ian Lavine() over the
paths of the ' Indiais. To be sure
there is railroad up Mt. Washing
ton,

ed throu h from Conway . to Ogdens
burg, wh ch Will traverse some of the
wildest arts,ef thiscountry; but up
to this ti e little or - no change is to ,
be. seen, and NaturOs still monarch
of these wilds. .Theqew hotels there
are scattered abonb-jhave no settle
ments around them, and are the on
ly evidences of mans presence to be
seen for miled. For 'p miles on either
side of the Glen Ho i so, there are no
other bildings, anC. the mountains
tower a one, and ti r o wild- streams
rush an whirl as freely as they aid
tl
a thous nd years ago. For my part,
Ido no like' too much comfort, I
get sick of moderii improvements,
and I . love to; 'get somewhere where
I can see only the hand of the Great
Architect.
I sent my. :vallseton by stage to
Gorham, and prOviding myself with
.fishing tackle, took, - a day to follow
the - course , of the : , , Peabody river,
which runs iaearin parallel to the
wagon road for about eight 'miles,
and crosses the Grand Trunk R. R.,
in the neighherhOml of the Gorham
station. The water was-still pretty
cold from the melting snow on the
mountains, btit the ,krout were plenty
and `I had a fine daS-'s sport. . There
are trout'up there that 4 . 4 you good
to seeHspeckled beauties, weighing
from' one-half pouncl to a 'pound and
a half, and I: saw dome out of the
water that Weighed four" pounds.
Tho stream is large? and rather a dif
ficult one to: fish 1)3, owi ng i to the
great number of immens e boulders,'
which' have rolleP down from the
mountain into its lied. One has to .
do a great deal of (ilinibing to reach
the good spots ; then the 'growth of
timber and ' under-brash: - is very
dense ; but it is jail, such a place as
delights the Soul oUi the true • spOrts
man, and verily his / reward is great..
After catchirig as itnany trout as I
could conveillentlyjcarry, r-left the
stream and 'returt(ed to ; ' the main
road, reachitig the Oilroad in iilenty
time for the afternoon train to Nor
thumberland'— tho point' where the
Grand Trunk Road connects with
the Roston, Concord & Montreal R.
R. At Gorham there are. twoLer
three Hotels; and the village people

lit answer to a corres pondent who
asks the originof , the above proverb,
the New York aserver gives the f0r., 1
lowing story:
"This well known proverbial say
ing originated from the. following
storY:—•A gentleman ol I a certain
county in England having married a
young lady of considerable fortune,
and. at the sam'time possessed lof
many 'other charms, he Sound not
long after marriage that!sbowas of a
high, 1 doniineering ternPef, and al
ways Icontending to be Mietrese both
Of hind and his family; therefore he
formed the resolution of Parting from
her.' 'Accordingly he Ivaited - lupon
her father, and told him that he
found his daughter of such a tamper
that he was tired of her; and that if
he would take her home again he
Would.retarn every penny of her for
tune. - ' .
~ 1 , \
" :T he old gentleman having in
quired into the cause of his com
plaint,nsked him why he shordd be
more disilnited at it‘than any other
married man, since it was the {com
mon case with, them- all and conse
quently no More than he might hive
expected when he entered into the
married state.. The young gentleman
desired to be excused. He said he
was so far from giving his assent to
this assertion, that he thought Ihim
self 'more unhappy than any ther
man, as his wife had a Spirit no way
to be quelled, and certainly no man
who had a sense 61 tight and ,gong
could ever submit to be,goyemed by
his wife. 'Son,' said th - 6 old 'man,
'yoti are but lit le acqUainted with the
world if you do not know that all
women gOvern their husbands tho'
not not all indeed by the same Meth
od; however, to end all !disputes be
tween us, I will put what I have said
upon this proof, if you are willing to
try it: ,
1
":I. have five horses in my stable;
you shall harness these to a cart in
which I shall put a basket coritain
ing a hundred eggs, and if, in pass
ing through the county 1 , and making
a strict inquiry into the truth or
falsehood of my assertion, and leav
ing a horse at the house of every man
who is master of his family himself,
and an egg where the Wife governs,
you shall find ' your eggs gone before
yotir horses. I hope you will then
think that , your own case is not un
common, but will , be contented to go
home and look upon year own wife
as no worse than her neighbors. If,
on the other hand, your horses are
gone first, I will take my daughter
home' again, and you shall keep . her
fortune.' -
" This proposal wax too advan
tageous to be rejected. :Our Young
married than therefore set off with
great eagerness, to get rid, as he
thought, of his horses ,and his wife.
At the first house he came to he,heard
awoman with a - shrill and angry
voice call to her husband to go to
the doer. Here he left an egg, you
may be sure, without making any fur
ther inquiry. At the next house he
met with something 'of the same'
kind, and at every house in shortim
til, his eggs were almost gone, when
he arrived at the seat of a gentleman
of, family and figure-in the country.
$e knocked at the door, and inquir
ing for the master of the house was
told by a servant that his master Was
not yet stirring, but if he pleased to
walk in his lady was in the parlor:
The lady' with great! complaisance
desired him to be seated, and said if
'his business was urgent she would
wake her ,husband, but had. much
rather not disturb ihini.
" ' Why really, madam,' said he,
'my brisiness is only to ask a ques
tion which you :can solve as_ well as
your husband, if, you 'will be-ingenu
ous with me. You will doubtless
-think it odd, and it may be deemed
impolite for any one, much !more a
stranger, to ask such a question; but
as a wager depends upon it, and it
may be some advantage to yourself
to declare the; troth to me, I' hope
theseconsiderations will plead my
excused, It isi, madam, my desire to
be informed Whether you govern your
husband or he rules over your?'
" ' Indeed, :sir,' replied thelady,
( i ,
' this question ; is somewhat od ; but
as I think no,, One : ought o be
ashamed of deing their duty, I shall
make no scruple to say that I am al
ways proud to obey nay husband in
all things; lint if al woman's own
word is I to be suspected in such a
`case, let him answer for me, for here
he comes.'' ~
" The -gentleman at that time ,en
tering the room, and after some apol
ogies, being made , acquainted with
the business, confirmed every word
his obedient wife, had reported in her
own favor, upon which he was re
quested, to choose which horse in the
teara,he liked best, and to accept of
it as a present. r s
" A black gelding etruck the fancy
of the gentleman most, but the lady
desired, he would choose the gray
mare, which she thought would 'be
Very fit for her side-saddle. Her \
husband gave substantial . reasons
Why the, black horse would be the
"inaost useful to them,'fbut madam still
persisted in .her claim to the gray
;are. ',What,' said she, ' and will
on not take her then? Bat I say
you shall,lor I ain sure the gray
mare is much the better horse.'
" ' Well, ray dear,'i replied the hus
band:lit itjnust be se—'
" ' You must take !an egg,' replied
the gentleman carter, ' and I must
take all,my horses back again and
endeavor to Me happy with my
wife."! I • •
