MOORE, Proprietor 0.11011118 HOPPES, Proprietor Notttts. Vress TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1858 John S. balmy, the Horse-Turner. During the present year, though little more than half of it has elapsed, Mr. J. S. BARMY, the American horse-tamer, has contrived to make himself ono of the best known men in those portions of Europe respectively under The sovereign rule of Queen Vicroau I. and the Emperor Neroxvoit 111. We understand that Mr. Rasar comes from Ohio, where be tamed horses, and gave instructions in the art. It Is declared that he did not originato all the art, but that ho systemized it. If not a man of genius, ho has no ordinary share of tact, talent, and shrewdness. ' Successful in Ohio and Texas, he visited Eng land, where he was so fortunate as to interest the editor of The Times in his favor. Those great borse-dealers, the Messrs. Tarrzasaitt, also were made acquainted with his preten sions, and subjecting them to the proof, be came assured that ho .ivas titian of. , note and mark.:3Bitetediltermilited - rumors 1 of.hfortnakable pewers. The Times holdly announced them. The rest Of the press soon folloWed the lead. To a seloetfew some pri vate exhibitions of skill were made, find the spectators went away, finite astonished; and bent on mysteriously whispering his praises, each In his own circle. Every where there was a rumor of the skill of the wonderful American, who was greater than CASITNIt and Van Mattnion, the Lion-Kings, and whose achievements threw Sur.mvair, the Irish "Whisperer," in the shade. Still Mr. Ram eschewed all public manifestations. He was fishing for the patronage of Queen Vicroata, and—she nibbled I Hearing much about Mr. RiatlCY, and not finding any distinct account of his performances in the newspapers, her curiosity was so much excitedithat she did ex actly what ho walled fOr—she commanded his attendance at her palace,, to show how he could g , witch the world with noble horse manchlp," or rather, subdue the most fiery and unmanageable horses. Having pleased the Queen, by examples of his art, tried upon some of her stud hitherto looked upon as irretrievably wild • and Ill tempered, Vicronth became his special 1114-* tton, and, under her winddr. Illaxt became the fashion. Young and bld were 'wild aflar, him. The world believed that,hossing time an unicorn, and he actually did tame a xebra. People wanted to know his secret. Re °filmed to sell ft. All ranks enrolled Mein - selves as his pupils. and paid him a high price, cash ii hand. He commenced teaching hOrtte.tamitli, and is said to have sent home .£2fi,090 frem England alone, many ladies being among his pupils. He had proportionate success In Ire land and Scotland. Then, going to Paris, fortified with letters of introduction and recommendation from Queen Yieronu., and the leading nobility of her kingdom, he was especially made much of by Nheobsos and Ecosars. His pecuniary harvest was much smaller in Paris, however, than it had been in London, or even in Edinburgh or Dublin. There was a degree of raystery about Mr. Ranar's processes much calculated to whet curiosity. There was almost as much prO thus secrecy as presides at the Initiation of a Freemason or a Son of Malta. No one ob jected. If there were no restriction, Mr. Rstistli secret weakd speedily irittopfro p it was worth paying for. Therefore, each pupil, on paying down his money, gave a legal bond for the Sum of £5OO not to com municate to others the knowledge imparted to himself by .MrsRAREY. Thera was a great desire to have the secretL particularly among the ladies. In fact, those who did not go in for it were "ram nantea." Meanwhile, certain circus-people contended that the secret was no secret—that others had done what Mr. Ramer taught—and that they, also, could make a horse Ito down at command. Of course, they could do so, with a previously well-trained 'animal. But it had been incon testibly proved, before intelligent audiences well acquainted with equitation, that Mr. RAREr could tame, at the first effort, such a notoriously hard customer as Cruiser, the ter ror of grooms, or such a wild animal as tho zebra, neither of which ho had seen before. The man should bo fairly treated. He has re markable power as a horse-tamer, and did not exaggerate it in any advertisement or an nouncement. A few weeks ago, Mr. ROUTLEDGE, pub lisher in London, obtained a small pam phlet of instruction to his pupils, which Mr. RAM had drawn up and had printed while teaching his art in this country. Roux- Lanus republished it for sixpence a copy. The Illustrated Times also reprinted it. Thus Mr. RABET'S market has been spoiled. Called upon by the press to make a statement, he has published a letter in The Times in which he releases his pupils from the penalty attached to their bond of secrecy, but does not return any money to his pupils. It seems doubtful whether it will be worth his while to attempt to give further instructions in England, where the impression is (and not very fairly) that be “sold" his subscribers. . Mr. BARRY'S actual letter is worth preserv ing, because it clearly states his own case. It is dated " Tatteraall's, July 6," and runs thus: 11 0 a my return from Paris, after an absence of ten days, my attention has been drawn to several letters which have appeared In the newspapers re• waling the bond as to secrecy given by my sub soribers at the time of entry. I beg now to inform them, through the medium of your widely-ciroula ted paper, that I at once and entirely release them from the penalty attached to it, and sincerely re• gra t that what was merely designed as a protection to myself should have been the came of distal's. faction to any of my pupils. As to the pamphlet which has been so extensively circulated in London without my knowledge or consent, it was written by me three years ago, immediately upon the discovery of my eye : tem, and contains bat a meagre and impel.. ! feet description of it as now praotised by me. It was printed for private eiroulation in my native State of Ohio, and I believe is rerfeetly unknown in New York and the other cities of the United States, as I never gave lessons on my.gilikeno cr eeps in Ohio and Texas, where I passer,' length of time experimenting on wild horses, mules, ao. I do not believe that any book that ever was writ ten out teeth this system eo well and fully as an hour's lesson with personal observation. In con• elusion, I beg to state that I have never instructed any person, either in America or Europe, withcot making thorn sign a bond, under a penalty, not to divulge it,•and that the only copies of my pam phlet ever before the world were those given to each of my pupils in America when they received their instructions. I remain, As., J. B. Pinky." We shall take an opportunity of stating the male points in Mr. RAREYN pamphlet. We commend to public attention a highly inte resting illustrated article, describing.o The American Art of Taming Horses," which ap peared In tho New York Tribune of Saturday, and covers a pago of that Journal. It shows a main part of RAnsir's secret to be—kindness to the horse, and something . like an appeal to his sagacity and understanding, if we may use the IMO word. It will bo remembered that Pops spoke of the " half-reasoning elephant," and, indeed, various others of the brute crea tion have occasionally displayed such very remarkable intelligence, that ono might be puzzled, at times, to answer the question whether they did not think. Tho faculty of memory is undoubtedly very common. Not only horses, but dogs and cats, have a recol lection of persons, places, and things.

In war, religion, and politios:—in the progries of all the great passions and impulses which soon the mind of mankind, as well u in the smoother and less couplet:tons course of the more gentle dovee . which disturb the even progress of domestia ,life, there are always turning points in the tide— Marked and salient epochs, which fornithe land. `marks of history. We aro in the midst of rich a period in Illinois. From its admission in 1819 up to the campaign of 18311, no State could have been more firmly De- Mocratio than Illinois. The opposition of the Whig party was, except In the north, merely nominal— just enough, oven there, to afford a healthy excite went in the canvass ; in the southern and central portions of the Stale the Democracy had it' all . their own way. Illinois could not be °hailed with, nor did it entertain the slightest tincture of Abolitionisin. But in 188 a nightmare took. possession of our vied people.. An apprehension of unfair dealing o; the part of, the. Federal Royerrnment towsirds Kansas, too Well borne out In the Sequel, carried slimy thousands of well-meanings honest, moderate Men from the nnks .both of the Democrats and Whigs, and, forced them temporarily to sot with tbe. Republican party. But now.the most stolid may lee the dawn—nay, the full morning of the birth of a new era hero. Disgusted with the ultraism of the unwilling to see the - fair fields of this noble State =Ufa by ibe presence of in inferior race, brought do 'Matson with the whiter on • tams of equality; dontent with the jostles of the existing laws, whloh reserve our heritage for our own race, the mass of the citizen, of Oil State have no sympathy with the ultra wing of the Republicans. Unfortunately for himself, Mr. Lincoln, at the very opening of the canvass, took The most ultra Abolition ground,. The Old• Line Whip cannot follow him in this course ;. the Democrats who left their party. In 11156, seeing now that Rams will nob be a Blare State, and appreciating the coarse of Senator Douglas in the matter, are returning in multi. Ludes to his eta ndard. OnCa the other hand we see a course taken by the immediate supporters of the Administration-7%e few, ttL. ignoble few, who enjoy the sweets of Federal patronage—violating the essential prin. eipleiof Democracy. When WSJ it before urged that the people, the men who sleet the President as their common eerritnt, must at ail give way to his opinions of policy, or be ruled out of the party? Nay more, th at they'll ould openly and deliberatt4. Uniterilth their antirtat toes - to 116311 iii the •dbletitor the great ohampion of the true principles of the Party ? There are, of course, three sets of men in Illinois—the.rank Abolitionists, the Administra tion party, a contemptible faction, whd. disregard all the principles of Democracy, in order to secure their short-lived salaries, and the great majority of true Democrats and old-line Whigs who s laud by the national prineiples of Senator Douglas. Let no see what these principles are, as enunciated In the admirable speeches of the Senator at Chi cago, Springfield, Bloomington, and Clinton. They constitute the bold, plain platform on which we of the North may stand side by side with our brethren of the South ; a few words will suffice to explain them. First comes the broad doctrine of State Sover eignty, which allows every State to regulate its own domestic institutions, and forbids it to inter fere with those of others; this principle allows Maine and New 3Cork to give to negroos the full elective franchise ; it permits Illinois to determine that no negro, free, or slave, shall inhabit its do mains ; it gives full authority to Louisiana to say that negroes shall exist within its limits in thu condition of slaves. The same great principle al lows every Territory fully and freely to determine, its ultimate condition as to the relations of the in ferior Mel. Can lie not all stand on this plat form? especially when the Senator unequivocally expresses his opinion that the exercise of Interfe rence, on the part of ono State in the affairs of any other, must always be attended solely with Ws oblevons consequences; that the only safety is to follow the doctrine that we all acknowledge to be essential in private life—the golden maxim, "Let every one mind his own business, and not inter fere with that which does not omens him." The nett great principle enunciated by the Sena tor is, that our Government, our Constitution, our revered Declaration of Independence, were intend ed solely and entirely for the white race, That since every man who sat in the Continental Con gress, every delegate who signed the Declaration, the Representative of every. State save one, who voted fur our present Constitution, represented a slave State. These men must have intended to de clare the principle advocated by the Senator, else they would have liberated their slaves, and also have placed them and the Indians upon a perfect footing of equality with themselves. They did not do this. Washington, Jefferson, Madison,Mon roe, and our Northern men failed to do so; they must have taken the view entertained by Senator Douglas, or they were dishonest. No true Ameri can will may that they were dishonest ; therefore they did not Intend to place these inferior races on an equality with ourselves. These are in few words the doctrines expressed by Senator Douglas In his recent speed:ice. The writer of this enjoyed the pleasure of hearing his latest address—at Clinton. In this oration he not oely boldly, like a lion, uttered his national send ments of Democracy as I have already expressed them, but met and fully refuted the charges brought against him by his opponent, in reference to a conspiracy with two Presidents of the United States, and the entire Supreme bench, in the Dud Scott matter. There was a majesty, a noble sim plicity In his demand, and emphatic refutation, which went to the hearts of his audience, and com pletely crushed his antagonist who might have been seen, by a keen observer, crouching in tho crowd. even in the comparatively small place of Clinton, thousands of the yeomanry congregated to listen to their Senator; gray-haired men, ro bust youth, matrons, blooming girls, wore there— mothers lifted their children in their arms to catch a glance at the man whom they had assembled to honor; all hung upon his words, and watched every movement of his countenance; those who came prepossessed in his favor, went away confirmed In their opinions; many who attended to scoff and sneer, departed either entholastlo in his favor, quietly determined that he was right, or with ,that food for contemplation in their minds which will finally bring them ever to the right cause. None left without a feeling of admiration for the candor and boldness of the man, and a sen timent of pride that he belonged to the State of Illinois. Such seems, fairly, to be the progress which marks his steps; he never loses, but ever gains ground. We are national men, here in the far-off State of Illinojs; we are proud of our State pOSItiOII, progress, and resources—but above all, we are proud that we have a Sonator who bee dared to etake everything in the oatmo of right, justioe, and the Un ion, and we feet that the honor of the State requires us to sustain him. lion.

(florrespondence of The Press ] Naw :Yomr, July 26, IBM .My DEAR PRESS : Seated in ono of the luxu rious parhirs of •the Gt. Nicholae, with the never ceasing rumble of the omnibuses along Broadway making a strange contrast with the scenes of quiet and elevating beauty we have left but a few hours since, I proceed to take your readers for a short time longer among the beauties and attractions of the Water Gap, and shall then bring them thus far on our journey before we haiten northward in the morning to join in the festivities and joyous re unions of long-parted friends during Commence ment week at Old Yale. We could have lingered yet many days at the Gap, wandering through the wooded paths which ascend its mountain sides, or riding to longer distances in quest of new objects of beauty, or gently rowing in the early morning or beneath the silvery light of the moon over the dark waters which flow so smoothly and steadily .through the vast °left which divides the Blue Mountain. But it is better to leave a scene of en joyment, before satiety has wearied one, and to look book upon it with the hope of returning at some future time with a keener zest for its plea sures. Time was pressing, and we must improve the rapidly passing hours to the beet advantage and hasten on our journey. • Let us ascend once more the hill in front of the house to Lake Lenape, ever calm and still, Its smooth bright surface undisturbed by even a rip ple, or turning short to the loft at the little ele vation upon which stands the bowling alley, wander through the woods, aiut up a more gentle ascent, though still steoponough to unaccustomed ramblers among the mountains, crossing a bright green meadow which lies in a hollow of small extent, hemmed in by the forest upon the mountain side, and then ascending yet higher, come out upon the rooky brow of the mountain some distance south of the point whence we. were enjoying the view by ,the light of thosetting sun, at the close of my last letter. Here we are upon Table Rook, which, with aperpendioular rugged face toward the river, and overlooking the valley, slopes with a gentle decli vity westward—a broad surface of the bare rook, with a few stunted pines and low bushes finding a scanty growth among the seams and crevices which 'cross its surface. The bright glare of the morning' sun now throws its brilliant• warming rays over valley and hill-side, grassy meadow and waving fields of grain, lighting up the dark bosom of the stream beneath, and giving to the whole landscape 'a tone of joyous beauty. If we turn off westward, through the woody, we soon come upon a winding path whin loads down into a steep and shady glen, through whose dark defile lies the course of a small rivulet. As we reach the bottom of the glen upon the brink of tho stream, we see directly before us the Goldin° Palls, where the water, spreading out into a broader sheet as it runs over the edge of a rocky 'ledge, falls in a graceful, feathery sheet from a. height of six or eight feet, and pausing a moment among the recite which here form a deep basin at the foot of the fall, rune bounding and dashing down its rugged channel. This basin is called :Venus' Bath, and is always filled with the purest, 'dearest, freshest water, tempting one to repose in its cool, refreshing depths. Above the edge of the fall, the rooky bed of the stream slopes up. ward at an angle of Borne fifteen or twenty de; grace in a smooth and slippery ascent, over which the water glides hurriedly, yet quietly along, be fore it leaps down the fall and into Venus' Bnth below. Ascending by the side of this eloping fall WO cross the rivulet upon the natural stepping stones which obstruct its passage, and see the stream descending from a point higher up its course, over rooks completely carpeted with the softest covering of moss, of every shade. This part of the stream is most appropriately named Moss Cataract. The light of the sun scarce penetrates through the thick foliage which shuts in from 'above this charming spot; end. among its cool, dark recesses one may find many a comfortable resting place where, with book in hand, he can repose in quiet enjoyment, undisturbed by any sound except the gentle rippling and bubbling of the rivulet as it leaps over its rocky bed. Ilia it is evening again. Let us go down the birl', , ;•Re back of the'bete i r and; crossing the rail road track, descend to the brink'of the itieam, step into a row-boat, and, pushing off from the Shore, pull lazily down through the Gap. The rays of the letting sun gild the tops of the eastern range of mountains, while the valley beneath, and the steep acclivities of the western side of the river, have long since lost his light. The surface of the water is undisturbed by the slighest ripple, and the deep, dark stream rolls sluggishly onward In its ours°, as we urge the boat onward with gentle strait& of the oars. And now we reach a bend in the river about half a mile from our start ing point, where it turns abruptly to the eastward, and after flowing onward in that direction half a mile farther, turns again to the southward.. As you turn eastward, at the first bond in the stream, directly in front rises the bold, rugged face of the mountain on the New Jersey side, towering up to the height of about sixteen hundred feet, its craggy and lofty brow crowned with a luxu riant forest growth. The sun has by this time gone down in the west, and the shades of evening are fast deepening over the whole landscape. We pull down around the second bend in the river, and upon the right, rising up from the narrow strip of meadow which hero skirts the water's edge, the lofty summit of the mountain on the Pennsylvania side stands out boldly defined against the western sky atilt light with the lingering gleams of departing day. The mountain on the New Jersey side comes down close to the edge of the water, and the opposite faces of the two cliffs look is if they bad been rent violently asunder; and were some mighty force to bring them to gether again, as if they would lit into each other with their rugged projections and jagged seams, and form a barrier to the further flow of the river, until deepening and swelling out over all the face of the valley qprthward for miles and miles far beek, the vest lake would surge against the con fining ridge of the Blue Mountain, and then roll ing over the edge in a gradually increasing volume, plunge down the mountain-side in a vast cataract. A short distance below the Gap, the river shoals again, and divided bye small island, runs swiftly downward over a rift, and bubbles and ripples.over its reeky bed,.formieg a rapid which prevents our further progress In that direotion. As we turn our bow up stream the eastern sky Is lighted by the silvery beams of the moon just rift. log over the brow of the mountain. As she ascends higher and higher, a flood of mellow radiance il luminates the dark and shadowy °beam, and glances from the smooth surface of the water. The black and sombre mountain sides, not yet reached by the light, frown down in sullen gloom on either band. Not a sound can be heard, save the gentle plash of the water against the bowel the boat as she glides along, or the dip of the oar die: turbing the smooth surface with spreading circlets of ripples. Pull leisurely now beneath the gentle light of the moon, each stroke of the oar sending the boat onward to a now and more beautiful scene; the jutting crags, silvery in the moonlight, casting great black shadows over the foliage be neath; here and there a solitary tree rising above the surrounding forest stands boldly out, each branch and twig clearly defined against the pure deep blue sky; the bare and rugged face of the eliffs checkered over with a thousand varying lights and shadowe ; and as we turn the band again the ripples higher up the stream gleaming and dancing over the rocks in the silvery light, and high up on the bank, set deep in the dark green forest of the mountain side, looms out the broad white hotel, the lights twinkling fremlits windows paled beneath the brighter radiance of the moon. A few vigorous strokes, and we era at the landing place ; and ascending to the hotel, lot as go out on the beak piazza, and lighting a cigar, enjoy the beauty of the scone as we rest after the exertion of rowing. We found ourselves compelled to leave the Gap, with many places of interest and beauty unvisited, and with a firm intention of returning at some future time. There is one advantage which the traveller in Bean% of the beautiful and picturesque will appreciate at the Water Gap. The scenery is not disfigured by the works of man; and though the whistle of the locomotive and roar of the cam is heard through the valley, yet the construction of the railroad has interfered but little with the natural scenery of the place. on Sunday evening, after tea, we ascended to the top of thO mountain in front of the hotel, and sat for an hour or more, enjoying the sweet ealmewhich, unbroken by any ° harsher sound than tho gentle rustling of the foli- age, or the distant ripple of the river, rested upon all the face of nature ; and as the shadows deepened, and the hour of evening service approached, up from the valley beneath us stela...the sound of tho Ausnicus church-going bell, its mellowed ring falling sooth ingly on the ear as it summoned the worshippers. A more lovely scene has hardly ever been epread out before me. The whole of the Sabbath is, in deed, here a day of rest. There is a neat brick ohuroll within it short distance of the hotel, where service is regularly held morning and eve ning. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Howell, preached yesterday morning, when we attended. Ills ser mon was not "an eloquent discourse," in the hackneyed phrase of newspaper oriticism. It was an earnest, simple, practical exposition of the truth, delivered without pretension, yet appropri ately, and showed that the heart and soul of the preacher was in he work, and that he felt the force df the truth he was striving to bring home to rhobeartoof hle harm. .• There is bit little formality' or' fashion at the Waterllap. But to those who wish to enjoy some of the richest beautled of nature, where they can have the comforts of a well kept hotel, with a most obliging host, and have the freest scope to in dulge their own flukey anclpleasure as to, the dis position of their time, unfettered by the formal restraints of fashion, a few dayi at Biodhoact's Kittatinny Douse - cannot fail to afford pleasant memorleiof 'their sojeurn. It is is eontemplation to erect a new hotel upon Sunset Rill, at a higher point on the mountain than the present house, and to have it completed in time for the neat see son. The present building Is hardly large enough to accommodate all who wish to avail themselves of the advantages of the plaoe. To4tiy, at two o'clock, we tools the oars on the Delaware, Lackawanna, arid. Weitern road, and loft the Water Gap. Tho broad ivage track runs all the way to Elizabethport; lint beyond' the junction with the Now Jeisei , Central road,. about -khirty miles below the Gap, is used for the freight and coal trains only. At the junction paasengers change ears, and take the train upon the Central road. The road runs across Now 4ot:soh-through the valleys, and over the hills of the upper and western part of the State, then down through'the rich level lands of the otisterOporiloti to tilsabetii• port. The country through' whieli passed pre sentedo varied and obarmingapliearance.• Gree& hill-sides, valleys rieh with 'golden grain fields; bright grassy meadows, and fields of waving corn —cheerful farm-heroes, neat and elegant cottages. and villas, were passed in rapid succession. The south branch of the Raritan river is creased upon a bridge fourteen hundred andilfty feet long, at an elevation of one hundred' and' five five feet above the water. At Elisabethport, which wo reached a little after six o'clock, the steamboat Red Jacket was in waiting to convoy us to New York. The sail through Newark Bay, and upthe inner bay of New York harbor, was delightful 'in the cool of the evening, and the braoing sea-breeze from the Narrows was gratefully refreshing after our rijo. A TRAVELLER. Cresson-.lts Surroundings..A Romantic rOorreepondence of The Prem.) Crtgasox, July 25th, 1858. EDITOR OF THR PRESS :—While the town'seems deserted,and the fashionable and business thorough fares of the city suffer alike an unusual and en foreed'solitude, there is a . glorioue tide of humanity flowing to the shrines where the goddess of health holds high and' holy . worship.' The . doctrine of compensation, which rune through all theyamifica. tione of the universe, is thus' abundantly' end hap. pily illustrated.. The decay of animal economy, which results from the debilitating action of the artificialities of city life is made up by the regene rating and invigorating influence of, the blessed country—compelling the rejoiced soul to murmur again and again the words of the poet—" Man made the town, but God made the country." Go where you will, upon this continent, amid the wealth of natural beauty so lavishly mattered on every hand, and you will find no spot nearer heaven than this, where the atmosphere and the surroundings act more astonishingly upon the spirits. Cresson, perched upon one of the highest peaks of the central range of the, Alleghenies, is. nearly twenty-five hundred' . feet above the ocean level, giving a mountain-banal) in wooing proximity with the oloude. To leave the low, alluvial Mile near the Delaware, and to plunge into an atoms phone so essentially changed by vilification, is positively equivalent to a visit to another planet. The elasticity sr the rental envelope communicates a corresponding lightness and gaiety to the feel ings of him who moves within its influence. You can see the emits of happiness on every face pre ceding naturally the blooming blush of health. Here are at present two hundred strangers from all parts gathered at the Mountain [louse of the Allegheny Health Institute, and I will challenge the most bigoted believer in the stoical philosophy to pink out from the number a single . face which does not show good humor. The atmosphere nets like champagne, and unlike that older decoction leaves no headache the day after. It is a conti nual stimulant, making cheeks to glow like rose buds under vernal showers, and the eyes to brighten like diamatklinder:the punning hand, ef,the la pidary. The pale phYslognointea, whieh'como here' from the fashionable female boarding-Mhool peni tentiaries, are no longer telling tales of the secret action of decay's relentless finger: They change as if by magic beneath the glorious ministrations of the mountain. They fairly drink in inspira tion from the pure fountain of Ifygela, which mums sparkling like or stal gems from the mountain's able. here, if any whore, the soul goes out irt• stinetively to commune with the Infinite and the Eternal, and to utter forth a hearty benison of gra tulation to the 'Giver of Good for the blessings which breathe in the air and murmur through the forests of the mountain-top. Tigre was a grand significance in the erection of altars by the old time world upon the mountain-summits. They whose pious faith raised those alter stones know whore tho Divinity made his home. It is no wonder, then, that every soul that comes here gives Instinctive dismissal to the thousand little worrying cares vrhioh, in a lower atmospheric level, smite the spirit, as the French have it, d coup a' epingle. Grumblers are transmuted at once into laughing phifosophers, whom Heraelitus might envy. In all the company, the one idea uppermost seems to be, how to give most pleasure to eaoh other, and how to rob from Nature the moat enjoyment. And of doing's°, there is no lack of means about Cresson, First in grandeur anti impressive beauty is the boundless wilderness of shade which lies em• bosomed beneath the gigantic trees of a muob earlier world of bustling humanities than we now find. By a single step almostwo wander into the heart of the mountain solitude. The primeval forest is a revelation of the divine, and strikes the heart of him who first ventures amid its silent re- IMBEIMI with a reverential awe. The feeling IS also tempered with a sentiment of thankfulness that we have at last reached the spot where Nature has been left to herself. Bore lie the decaying forms, just as they fell, of the proud monarchs of the wood, who in the centuries of the far distrust past towered in grand sublimity over the panorama of beauty at its feet. And here, elect beside them, as if in living sympathy with the dead, stand the legitimate inheritors of their sovereignty. What grand, delightful rambles the Cresson-dweller can enjoy ! And there are drives for those who still cling to city reminiscences, and roads whioh' run through perfect realms of loveliness. There is the old turn pike—monument of the ante-diluvinn period of singe-coach development--which leads you, one way; to Ebensburg, the capital of tho county of Oambria; and in the other direction across the summit to Hollidaysburg. I have not time to ut ter new apostrophes to the beauties which hang , In sylvan freshness on either route. I will , not here tell of the inevitable trout-supper at Erarts's " where the trout glide, violimised in pools, kept waiting for the hungry tooth of the invading for eigner—of this chapter of gustatory delight I will not now relate. I have another chapter of romanco to unfold, which betel upon another road, that - which leads to "the shrine of Loretto"--and, by the way, this same avenue Is to me enshrined forever by the memories which cluster round it. You have heard of Count Gentile', Sao Russian hermit, who made his home in these mountain felt nooses. He died after a life of eccentric benevo lonco and Christian charity, and his remains lie buried, placed there by good Catholics, in a gra nite mausoleum at a village five miles distant from Cresson, and known as Loretto. the population of the place is warmly Cathollo, and the ovidenoo of the predominant faith stands conspicious in the landsoape. Here, crowning the brow of a hill on your right as you approach from Cresson, is the cathedral, a large massive brink building, with the ornamental tracery of Gothic myetioism, in front of which is Galitzin's tomb. In close proximity is the convent, where those bound with vows may look out on a prospect which might well lead the soul to heaven. On the outer side of the sim plo lattice-fence, which serves as enclosures to these devotional homes, stands the symbol of Christian faith—a rude wooden cross six or seven foot high, with a crucifix in a niche to call the wayfarer to communion with the Highest. Out of the Catholic countries of Europe, I have never seen this aug , gestiee incentive to worship, and, Protestant as I am in my feelings, I can declare, with truth, that this feature of religious progress struck ale with pleasurable emotion. At the bass of the gentle elope, which the convent and the church watch over, lies the village of Loretto, in a valley nest ; and on the opposite side, as if guarding it from profane footsteps, rises.the Catholic monastery. Hero a brotherhood of monks, thirty-five or forty in number, under the fatherly care of a Superior, pursue, in rustic quiet, their theological studies, and suporietend the eollekiate education of sixty or seventy students, who come here from Retakes far distant as lowa and bilesissippi. Thus mob of Loretto, and its geography, and its edifices. But it is the rood which leads to it which, as I have Intimated already, has reason to live in my memory, and If the long preface has not wearied you, I will toll you why. A stranger, not to the manor born, I was, It must be confessed, unprepared for the good nature and amiability whioh pervade the atmosphere of Cresson; and, you may be sure, I was startled to a awed aurptise when an invitation to two fate eo• journers of this mountain paradise, to visit the Witte Of Loretto, ROA tuetintly aeoepted.

Midway to Oregon, as we readied the'sum mit of ono of the many hillowhich add infinite variety' to the landscape, , a rare revelation of magnificence buret upon our view, in the glories of the setting sun. As we turned to it, tht3 horizon, broken by mountain peaks, crowned' with every imaginable tint of ' foliage, seemed 'on fire with golden light, and es the full radianee softened to a milder glow, and the folks leaveiput on the evening's sombre hue in the app oohing twilight, our hearts, beat In unislon, an underwent a cre puscular soberness: In the hush of the eleMents which scented to be Nature's silent worship of the Infinite, our spirits revelled in . a happy Wm, which was unohanged until we neared the Moun tain Homo. As we looked toward it, resting as it does in a piditiresque sylvan bower, "fair Dian rose above the hills." This eight was the fitting contusion of our jaunt. The rays of tbe full-moon, undlnimed by the mists of lower altitudes, streamed, atiown the mountain side M a gush of divine offulg4ice. Beneath the influence plea/Unit fancies came troop ing like ministering angels to our wrapt spirits; and we mutually pledged each other to prey for a renewal of such entrancing gratification.

My mother is now with me, free from all re straint, and about, at her own wish, to travel for a short time, in company with myself and a female friend and relation of her own selection. From tho moment my father felt compelled to authorize those steps which hive been made the subject of so 11111011IIIIBTOMBOTaBt1011,:bin anxiety was to obtain,the opinion of the most experienced and able physioians, in order that my mother should not be subject to restraint ono militant longer than was strictly justifiable.
