Roving as I rove, Where shall 1 find an end—or, how proceed?' 1 —Cownn. In the early morning, as I passed along the beach at Margate, my at tention was attracted' by a number of queer-looking carts ranged along the sands. On each psir of wheels stood a little house of a single room, some what similar to the contrivanc,es cal culated alikcifor travel and encamp ment, which I had before seen in use among the Gipsies of England The purpose 'of these carts at the sea shore was, however, sufficiently evi dent, so that I ldid not hesitate to charter one of, them, upon the spur of the occasion, for a brief marine excursion. A pony was soon attach ed,. and I was conveyed in my "draw ing room car'l some -twenty rode through the briny waves, before 'a suitable depth (Say of- four feet six) was reached ; whereupon a halt was called, and driver and pony returned to shore: while I proceeded through the seaward docir of my apartment, to take a salt water bath;—also took a cold,—as the morning air was brac ing, even to chill ness. All of-which being acconiplised, my attire was soon resumed; a f t the opening of the landward door as a signal, man and horse came to the rescue, and myself and the cart were safely restored to ' terra firma: Saph is the usual style of sea-bathing at Margate,—save and except, as. I bei3evolently hope, the cold- The most that can be said of it is that upon the whole it may be considered an'improvement upon the plan of the Thren Wise Men of Go tham, who went to sea in a tub. From the land surface of the chalk bluffs in the immediate vicinity of Margate, one =may descend by a stairway into a suite of strange sub terranean apartments, apparently ex cavated frotn thn rock. Thomas of these rooms, to the extent of more than 1809 square feet, are covered with curious and fanciful' deiices, wrought in shell's from the sea-shore. The father of the present occupant, as the latter informed me,. with a solemn "assertion of veracity, discov. ered these apartments seam thirty years since—by falling through into them, or other accidental, means,— just how, I I do not now remember. They were then considerably 'filled np with an acctinanlation of rubbish and debris, on the removal Of which, and the cleaning of the walls, the latter presented] the same fincifttl ornamentation as now; nothing -be ing previously known, even by tradi tion, of their existence or origin'. I The rooma certainly afford a very cosy habitation, being free from any appearance of dampness, cool in Summer and warm in -Winter,---al though of coarse somewhat obscure: to say nothing of the supposed mys tery and antiqttity of their . origin, they. present beyond question a curi ous and intereating appearance to the visitor. If of an imaginative turn of mind, he might] indeed fancy them to have constitat i ed, at a remote peri od of higher sea level, the submarine palace of some tasteful Triton or Naiad. , Towanda, Pa The summer resorts and watering places of the British-Isles; stseni . al most without cumber; and are often,' like Margate, thronged to, overflow ing; for in England, all' classes, (down to those actually without means),— must have their annu al "outing," as it is termed, of months or weeki diving the season. The coasts of France,. the spas of Germany, and the lakes of Switzer land, furnish many more places of summer residence and recreation, all mainly supported by English people; and from the same source is derived, for by far its greater portion, the im mense tide Of travel throughout Eu rope and the East. - If any nation of the world, for any': great portion of the year, can be withpropriety re ported as not at home - ' that nation, is certainly the English: And *ere an International Vagrant Act to' be adopted throughotit the Eaatern con tinent, the English race, by about five to one, would probably furnish subjebtaor its provisions and.periata Vt. Yet what people prides itself mot), strange to' say, than does the Anglo-Saxon, upon its strong attach-. went to the scenes, the institntion% and the associations of Home? The French are alike pitied - and re proached, for having no such term as the Saxon. word Home . in their luo gauge: and it isl•probably forttulate teletteb tatirg. FRE PILLAR OF BEAIIII4 thit Ilmunts. No: XLVII for the fame of the man who com posed "Home, Sweet Home," that he was not born a Frenchmm Yet even these, their volatile Continental neighbors, display far more attach= mot to domestic( life than clo the English, in that they . have less dispo sition to seek for enjoyment abroad. Were we to refer to the great mass of the French-speaking communities of. Europe, we should find a superior and conclusive reason for home at tachment in the fact that their honies are their own; while in England, Ire land and Sco tland, the actual °wads of lands and domiciles are few in number; the class •of small proprie tors, so extensive upon the continent, being in the former countries almost unknown. The world at larks, how ever; will certainly not be disposed to find fault with this propensity to travel,- among those who are able to pay their way. Swiss, Ck4mans, Munch and Italians, ministering in various capacities to the real or fan cied Wanta.of their foreign visitors, find their account in it to such a de gree, that were the ebb and flow of this living current suddenly to cease, a financial panic would soon ensue among the shop-keepers and hotel keepers, rai e lways and diligences, guides, couriers, and mule-drivers of the continent. " Oar American Cousin," display ing, as he does, a full share (whether onginal or inherited) of this tenden cy to travel, is certainly in no situa bon to criticize it unfavorably. For him the English traveler may be said in a measure to pave the - - way, af fording him countenance and com panionship, through an identity not only of religion and language, bat to a considerable extent-also, of general usages and ideas. One institution may here be mentioned, for which English travelers and residents abroad must have the chief credit, and for which the AmeriCan will oft en experience a feeling of gratitude; it is that of regularly established re, ligions i services in our common 'lan guage, at most cities and , places of resort along the line of European travel. The niipual bill . of "Foreign Ex penditures," by English absentees, would no doubt foot up in an im mense sum, Which it may be said, were better devoted to improving the conditi?n of the lower classes and suffering poor at home, whom they have " always with them," and in sufficient numbers. Yet ley this ex penditure of time and money by her citizens abroad, the moral influence of the nation is greatly enhanced and extended. The` traveler will not fail to observe that the British sovereign, Britishlexchange and letters of cred it are received with especial favor by continental banleers; while the En glish language is everywhere grow ing in use and favor, even more than the French: and according to the observations of Bayard Taylor and other eminent travelers, it bids fair to become in time, ',the language of the world. In connection with which idea, who:omen estimate the vast ad vantages of ready communication and a consequent "good understand ing " bet Ween all the nations of the earth through a common language? Truly the Curse of Babel was a heavy one, and its removal "were a consummation most devoutly to be wished for?" Embarking upon a steamer at Margate, on my return thence to London, I was again ,forcibly im pressed with the utter lack of the superior style and- accommodation that characterize our American steam vessels• on similar routes. The distance from Margate to London is some seventy-five miles, for about one-half of which we coasted along the southern side of the bay, display ing-the same white cliffs which mark the Eastern shore. A conspicuous landmark is afforded by the lofty double towers of a church knowu as the Two Sisters, deriving its name, as I was informed, from its having been erected by two maiden sisters, in memory of an only brother, who re turning home from a long-.absence, lOst his life by a fall from the cliffs in the vicinity:. Some grains of al lowance are however due to the sto ries which travelers hear,—as well as to those they sometimes tell: and while the magnificent edifice derived its origin from the pious liberality of the Two Sisters, the story, no doubt, oft told in connection of the brother's fate, is probably without foundation. Beyond Horne Bay, upon an arm of - the sea near the, mouth of the Thames, 'stands the somewhat impor tant city of Rochester, with • its fine Cathedral, which has been much ad mired as a work of architecture. —Bearing more wealth upon its bosom than any other river of the world, the Thames, below tondon, is perhaps as deioid of natural beau ty as almost any- other,—it can, in fact, claim but little superiority, in this respect, to a Dutch canaL Its turbid waters meander slowly !Imo' a flat region, abounding in what are called " levels " and "marshes," and have a fall , of but 376 feet in an 'en tire course of . 215 miles. What a contrast to the descent of the Jordan, which is said to.be nearly 1,000 feet in 60 miles ! There are bat few towns along its margin; the most import ant points being Gravesend, Tilbury and its fort, where Queen rlizabeth is said to have reviewed and address ed her troops in the days of 1 the Spanish Armada,—Wixdsvich, with its immense naval depots, and Green wich, famous for its hospital and ob servatory. For miles along our course, as we appriiiched Woolwich, a strange odor was strongly perceptible in the atmosphere: on enquiry into its ori gin, I was told that it arose from ,the discharge of the London sewers into . the Thames, near this point. While certainly not of the most agreeable description, (if at all susceptible of 'description) it may at 'the same time be said not to be as utterly offensive as might be - sukiosed. A connois seur in strange smells, might well here congratulate himself on the dis covery of a sensation in that line en tirely new, and wholly different from aught that bad ever before greeted his nostrils--even had he been with Coleridge at Cologne. Its wide dif fusion* may be understood, when we consider that the discharge from the • .161 1. 4 0( Al I= araAlinals TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, P : 10, 1874. fifty. miles 1 of; London sewerage, amounts to no less than 9,000,000 cubic feet each day! A company has, however, • been formed, with a capital of millions, for the purpose of diverting this dis charge, and conveying it across Es sex, for the fertilization of a large area of territory to be reclaimed from the German Ocean: and well might the voyager urn the Mamas wish to the enterprise that success which it has probably already achieved. Circling round the Me of Dop,ive traversed Limehouse Beach, and far ther on, what, is called' the Pool, where the larger vessels which reach London, suspend their progress, re calving and discharging cargoes at the Docks. Onr steamer, ' however, continued to thread its 'way amid barges, lighters, ands crowd of other dark-looking craft, until a landing was made at Waterloo Bridge, and once more I found myself in the streets of London,—not so much a stranger here as on my first arrival, although •my American, friends had meanwhile departed homeward. In stead of returning. 'to my former quarters near St. Paul's, I took lodg ings in Norfolk street, Strand,; near Exeter Hall and Temple Bar; and, ,as I had anticipated from previous observations, the 'wait) , proved much more agreeable, as being more central and within easy access of the most interesting and attractive points of the city,—although in fact out of the "Oity".proper. The Strand, in many of its fea tures, reminds one of Broadway, New York, although decidedly infe rier to, the latter in elegance and ex ten 4 its name was probably derived froml c ts nearness to the shore of the Thames. For the purpose of more readily distinguishing their location, the suffix 9f Strand is commonly ad ded to the lesser streets 'leading into it. Many o'k these, such as Norfolk, Bedford, Ch dos and Essei, are said to have derived their names from those of the no'llemen whose court residences were f rmerly here when this was the aristo tic quarter and absolutely the ', l We k End" of Lon %7 don. As relics of th times, just without Temple Bar, e still stand ing ancient edifices once upied by Henry VIII. and his Pre ter Wol.- sey : while , near by and still eontina ing its former name and business, 'is the Boar's.

Remaining yet a fortnightan Lon don before my departure to - the con tinent, my way of life was sufficient ly-quiet and retired; breakfast being the only meal I took at my lodgings, and this served' in my rdoms.

C. -P. A PLEASANT PLACE.—A good story is told at the expense of a somewhat inexperienced housekeeper in this city who found herielf one morning without a servant to cook or wash. A few hours' trial convinsed her that she must have help, and she started out in search of a girl. After calling_ at several places without success, she was passing one of the best residen ces in the city,,and observed a tidy looking woman clearing the yard. Halting, she inouired of the woman whether she knew of a girl that could be hired. The answer was in the negative: The lady had by this time become desperate, and resolved .to hire the woman before her, al though she knew it was wrong to covet her neighbor's servant.. In a . low tone of voice she began to relate her trodbles, and wound up by tirg• ing the woman to leave. Mrs.—and come with her, offering her a dollar a week more than she was receiving. The woman answered that she liked her place, and.could not be induced to give it np. And.she added: "Besides, I generally sleep with Mr. M—, and T. don't think he would allow me to go."

About tyears ago I was em ploed as n ight-watchman in a sugar refinery in Greenock, a town where there are probably more sugar-re= fteries than' n any other place in rifitin. That in which 1 - was en gaged was; the burst in the place, and on accbuit of its size there was another TiVatehinan beside myself. Ips' name wan -Blackwood; he was a l in widower ; d his only son, a boy of about twel e, used often to come and sleep in' e little room where we Dept watch. Blackwood bad prom bed to take his son .a sail, and asked me one dby if I would accompany toem. I did so; and we went to Lock , ' , mond and spent a very pleasant! y, andreturned just in time to go to the ang4-house. It was hot weath er at the thee, and baring done with out our usnal sleep, we felt very tired. The heat of the sugar-house was not calculated to refreskus, and we could hardly kee p our eyes open. We tried as tp reading, usual, but it was useless. Before to b"clock, Blackwood had fzllen ties . I determined to keep awake, and intended, after a couple of -1 oars or ad, to :owe my companion end take asleep; myself, for I , felt it would beinipossible to - asp watch all night . 1 I mast, however, have f en asleep unconsciously, and have r maimed, so for several hours.

I awoke' as if I 4 viere s ling for life, and found the room lied with stifling vapor, and felt a intense heat, and I heard without th crackling of flames. The il ei sugar-hon was on fire. • I Blackly° d was still asleep, and I 'knocked 'm up, and opened the dpor of th room. A cargo of raw sugar and molassess had jast been taken in, nd this was piled up' on each side f the vaulted passage that led from he main door of the re finery. I is , mass was on fire, and was sending out dense volumes of , smoke; o' the other 'bide of us were wooden s airs, which led to various / parts of the building, and these were. also in flaines. The refinery had ev idently ben on fire for a long time, and 'we could hear the shouts of the people without. We were s surround -11 by the flames, and the heat was great that it was certain we could ant survive long. Blackwood and I irked at ' ach other in dismay. His boy appe red to be calmer than ti ter of u , and suddenly cried out, \ ' Father,, I the beer-cellar !

I could not feel this with my lands, as they sad my face- were fearfully scorched, but l i did so with my tongue.

Several months elapsed,when one day he was notified that the bills had been returned 'to the bank. Upon inquiry he found that they had come from a bank in the. North of Eng,land. Thereupon he 'posted north and found that 'the bills had been depos ited by a person who opened' an se-, ' count with them. The gentleman and hank clerk returned to London, when, upon rival at his house, a detective was -!lent - for, and at the same time the. father of the stolen i - child was requ e st ed to meet them in order to inform him of- their', discov ery. Immediately upon the father coming into the room the bank ;clerk said:- • Why, this is the gentleman who ', deposited the hills with' us."

"yam Within the, , last few years Jhe breaking of, water-spouts—if that is 4 proper, name for the phenomenon —like that, which desolated a town in Nevada " recently, has been fre quently noticed. A few years ago a water spout, or the bursting of a cloud, caused ; very serions damage near the bridge of the Chicago and Northwestern railway across the Rock River, three miles west of Dix on; and ' ' a similar, disaster also befell the same road a' few miles east of Dixon. There is an abundance of evidence in most parts of- - the coun try that tbey have oceurred in all of its past history. Especially is this .tree along the lino of the Pacific railway. Broad beds• Of streams per fectly dry are Common in 'Black Hills and Rocky Mouniaie d s ric ts, which show plainly the actioll of ter rible torrents not many years previ ous. Eiiierienced railway-men haVe given it as their Opinion that WI- ctent; allowance is not made in the construction of our roads.' to let tiff the water in such cases. LA similar disaster occurred in senthern Minne sota. recently, Where , very considera ble damage- was done, and a fe i cC Years since the; president Of . the Mi chigan Southern railway and many passengers carne near losing their lives, not far from 'Mishawaka,' from_ the same cause. Several persons in the car next t p them were drowned. • Some years i earlier, a portion Of - the city of Denver, California., was submerged in; the night" time by, a flood coining; down . the valley of Cherry creek, of which the inhabi tants had had Ino previous warning. ; - A cloud had burst on the side of 'the mountain so far distant that no sign of its existenpe could bediscerned, and spilled itecontents into the np ier valley of Cherry creek. This creek been dry for many years—eo dry thatits bed had been surveyed And laid off in toWn lots and wilt uPon, constituting, indeed, one of the most thick-settled Parts of Deriver. The flood s'rack the town shortly 4fter midnight ; and; in an instant of swept off every vestige Of human habitation and handicraft in the Old bed of the creek and'adjacent there to, destroying i many lives and a large amount of preperty,Whichwas hurled into' the ,South Platte, which latter stream was raised several feet in : ` 'a few minutes. ' Probably nothing can e done tot ward off the calamities that often re sult from " cloud-bursts " or water sponts,, but they are worthy of cere al study.

The phenomenon of a ?loud-burst consists 'of the sudden„rierhaps in stantaneous, condensation; of a vast quantity of warm moisture in the at mosphere by , rming l in contact with ( the cold side f a menntain, or with a current of cold . air.
