LETTERS FROM EUROPE-NO. 9.
The Toar,of the. Scottish Lakes•
AuousT, 1868.—1 n these letters I have
gone ahead of my story. I have not ob
served much order, nor did I care to. My
abject in writing is to give those interested
—especially the members of my own be-
loved church—some idea as to where we
have been and what we have seen. When
one is in a. foreign land, and among stran
gers, every scrap of information that can
be had concerning home and friends there,
is most cheerfully welcomed; so," have no
doubt, those at home are interested in learn-
ing all they can ribout the different places
visited, and objects seen by their friends
abroad. That which I most admire, and
which delights me most of all, is natural
scenery. A rich, beautiful and extensive
/an&Klktpe spread out before you-0, how
grand ;and inspiring it is! Often have I
said.-to myself, as when beholdiug- the
mountains of Scotland, looking on the banks
of the Rhine, or up the valley of
the Neckar as seen from Heidleberg,
end the great Castle on the hill
beyond often have I said, _What
a beautiful world God has made I And
were it not for one thing—Sin—how
happy men might be in it ! The mountains,
the lakes, the hills, valleys and forests—how
grand and beautiful they all are Shakes
peare writes'of the man •' who has no music
in his soul. " So a man who has no delight
in the gr?at works of God, as seen in nature,
must be destitute of the sources of much
happiness and enjoyment. So far as I have
seen,
t-p
I am norepared to say that nature
has
done more for the old than the new
world. Ido not think so. Airt from
Switzerland, we have scenery equal to any
in Europe,- but art has done more for the
Art and the taste of man have
old world.
beautified and adorned, and so made attrac-
tive. There are richly cultivated fields, fine
lawns, extended rows of shade trees, spark
ling fountains, glittering water falls, and
silver cascades- 1 -all bf which are delightful
to the eyel and pleasing to the taste. In a
former letter I described our trip up Loch
.Lemond, as far as Inversnaid, where we
left the boat to go across the country to
Loch Marine. Inversnaid is a town only
in name. It has a hotel, and there is no
other building in sight. It is a landing,
and has a small fortification built
for defence against the MacGregors; when
about the year 1713 Rob Roy was at their'
head. Every one has read more or less
concerning the beauty of the Scottish lakes,
and the grandeur of the scenery around
them. It must be seen, however, to be en
joyed and fully appreciated. Sir Walter
Scott has not only immortalized himself,
but he has also immortalized the lakes of
Scotland and the surrounding country. It
was among these lakes and hills and moun
tains that he torated his taste fort the his
torical and romantic; and I do not wonder
that he was accustomed to spend a few
weeks every summer on the banks of the
lovely and placid Katrine. Getting upon,
not zn,—for in this region the vehicles are
made without co' rs and very high to give
passengers a fine and unobstructed out-look
—the coach we rode five miles over a beau-
tifully green, romantic and picturesque
country. It was mountainous and charm
ing beyond description. Here and there a
little lake was to be seen; often on our side
a clear sparkling , stream, and at some dis
tance on our right a log cabin, in which
Hellen MacGregor, Rob Roy's wife, is said
to have been born. Irish miles I thought
extremely long, but these five Scot
tish miles between the two lakes I
thought very short. We were at their
end far too soon. Halting in front of the
hotel at the - landing at the head of Loch
Katrine, (the Scotch call itToch, not Lake,)
there lay spread ont before us the whole
length of what is regarded as one of the
_ most beautiful lakes in the world. Having
passed through the very heart of the,"Rob
Roy country," our eyerested on that lovely
sheet of -water, amid the scenes of which
was laid the foundation of that remarkable
poem called "The Lady of the Lake." In
half an hour alto alighting we were again
on the little steamer, Making our way down
the lake. The afternoon was, pleasant. The
sun shone 'upon the waters and mountain
sides, and the heavens overhead were blue.
Nature seemed to be clad in her loveliest
robes. We had with ns•a-copy of Scott's
Lady of the Lake, and as we passed along,
tee points , named in that masterly poem
rapidly presented themselves: Ellen's Isle,
very small and covered with wood and
Scotch' heather, supposed - to be the meeting
place of Fitz James and Douglass. To the
right Ben Nevis, bold and rugged in optline.
To the left here and there a level flat of
ground, ifrom which the eye followed the
mountain up toward the sky. This lake is
too small. If it were larger, perhaps, it
would' not be so lovely. The ride from
the one extremity thereof to the' other
was too short, and soon we had to
take a last look at its fair surface,
and getting upon another coach, we
rode through a wild, rough, but most pictur
esque region to Callender. Taking the cars,
in one hour we were at Stirling, a very fa
mous place in Scottish history, having made
the tour of the Lakes, and having seen some
of the fairest portions of God's beautiful
world. 'Monday the 20th of July, 1888,
will be ever remembered by us. Stirling is
a town built on the hillside, and is a place
.of much interest because of its antiquity,
its great castle, and because of the important
events that have transpired in its vicinity. It
is an old town, with crooked, narrow and
uneven streets, and though weary with our
day's journey and sight-seeing, after reach
ing our lodging place, we sauntered forth in
the dusk of evening to catch a glimpse of its
very old and famous castle. in the valley
of the Eorth there is a slope of ground.'
The slope beglnir on the East, rises gradually,
and abruptly terminates in the West at the
heighth of 400 feet. On this slope Stir
ling is situatrd, and on its extreme West,
and very highest point, stands a great castle
Ohich dates back to the 12th century.
When Scotland was independent? her • Par
liament met here. Her kings and queens
were wont to stay - within its walls. The,
castle now belongs to the government,
and is used as barracks for; soldiers. On
the East the castle is surrounded
by a deep meat over which was' a draw
bridge, and on the West by: an alnicist
perpendicular d'acent of-, - mearly , four
hundred feet, so that it would have been ex
oeedingly difficult, If' not iniporldigei to
have taken it. From the Castle wall on the
west is presented what Is regarded by ail
admirers of natural scenery as one of the
finest views in Euro - pe: 'the eye
takes in a
wide reach of greatly di vers ifi e d
apd bean
tifiil country. The highlands to the north;
- the Ochill 'hills to the west; the Grampian
hills, rising one above the other and stretch
-frig a way in the distance•• thirty miles off,
Ben Lomond, lifting up ?ils p r o u d peak to=
- ward and near to the sky, and the fertile and
richly cultivated valley 'of the w i n di ng
Forth on the' east and immediate west; all.
contributedito make the view sublime and
-one never to be forgotten.
While at Anstruther, in Fifesbire, Scot
land; we visited the very interesting and old
town of St. Andrews. It is situated on a
bay of the German ocean, and possesses
much of interest, but, because of its being
out of the ordinary line of travel, it is not
visited by tourists as much as it should be.
It is the seat of the oldest University in
Sco'
Itland, and is still a place of great fame
for learning. Students come thither from
nearly all parts of the world, to be educa
ted; from India,
from Australia, from
China, from New Zealand, from America,
and all parts of the United Kingdom.
The city was singularly laid out. Orig
inally the streets all centered in a single
point, and thence radiated in every direction
like the spokes of a wheel from the hub
The streets on the east side, however, have
all been washed away by the gradual but
constant encroachment of the sea. St. An
drews was once "the Canterbury of Scot
land, the nursery of the Reformation, and
the scene of many memorable occurren
ces." We saw here the most magnificent
ruins that we saw in Scotland— the ruins
of a great castle, of a church and cathedral
which was 358 feet In length. John Knox
Hied. and preached for many years ~at St.
Andrews, and under his preaching., the
-Cathedral was demolished, and has been
for three centuries and more a pile of ruins.
Much could be said about this place, but
time and space forbid.
The pious Samuel Rutherford, lived and
died at St. Andrews, and I will close this
letter by transcribing the epitaph on his
tombstone. It is somewhat laudatory and
not very good poetry, but Rutherford, as
his life and "letters" show,
was a deeply
earnest and true servant of God. I copy as
I find the words spelled.
Here Ives the Reverend Samuell itutherfoord, Pro
fessor or Divinity in the Univert ity of St. Andrews.
who Died March 20. 1661.
Wha tongue, what pen, or skill of men,
Can famous Itutherfoord commend,
Ills learning justly ialsd ha fame.
True godlinh , s adorned his name;
He old converse with things above,
Acquainted with Emanel's love;
Most orthodox- he was and sound,
And, many errors did confound.
For Zion's King and Zion's cause.
And Scotland's covenanted laws,
Most e-nstanily he did commend,
Until) his time was at an end.
Then he won to the full fruition.
Of that which he had seen In vision. •
The Saratoga Styles
The Rev. Thomas L. Cuyler writes from
Saratoga to the Independent:
"A procession of splendors is moving
through the 'Congress Hall' parlors till
midnight. In the long line marches a lady
from one of the interior towns of thii State,
whose garniture of diamonds and gold is
reputed at $lOO,OOO. Verily, 'her price is
far above rubies.' How happily cloth Scrip
ture describe these belles: 'They toil net,
neither do they spin, yet Solomon, iu all his
glory, was not arrayed like one of these.'
I have never seen.so much of female beauty
here in any previous season. Perhaps we
ought to emphasize the word seen; for some
of the female charms have been startlingly
visible. The theory on which the fashion
able dresses are constructed is to expose the
;upperpertion of a lady'S form, and to con
ceal the carpet for several feet, or even
yards, behind'her. The silk or the satin
garment extends for two or three inches
above the waist, and the rest is enveloped in
a sort of gossamer, 'illusion,' or delusion,
or whatever else it may be called.
"Rumor has it that a father was permitted
the exquisite satisfactidn of seeing his
daughter hissed when she entered a hotel
drawing-room ! The story may be false;
but it is certainly true that many a parent
(and husband too) has richly deserved to be
more than hissed for permitting a fair, beau
tiful girl to become the indecent gazing
stock of a crowd of strangers, and the butt
for ribald jokes of rakes and roues. This is
too serious a matter' for jests. In these
times, there is no little discussion about
'woman's rights'—her duties, dangers, &c.
But let us tell our eountrywomen,plainly
that one of her chief dangers comes from
Paris. Even Low the indolent, indelicate,
extravagant devote of fashion in Paris may
say, to her Yankee sister in New York or
Saratoga, 'How art thou become like one of
us.'
"Dark:eyed Cubans abound here this
year. One family are reported to have a
retinue of fifteen servants. The horse
mania, too, is increasing every year. Bu
perb four-horse turn-outs, costing thousands,
are seen every day en Broadway and the
drives to the lake. Within proper limits,
this growing rage for horses may be com
mendable. It may mean the healthful recre
ation of a father with his family in the
parks or the suburbs of our cities; but then,
on the other hand, it often means a most
reckless ostentation, which ends in bank
ruptcy of purse and of morals. I would
rather trust a young man who has a sharp
eye for books than one'who has a sharp eye
for horse-flesh. The Saratoga gambling
houses are said to have reaped large ham
Vests. Their victims are mostly among the
'weak, extravagant sons of rich fathers.
The bait to the 'club-room' is a free, sump
tuous supper with abundance of 'choice
wines.' What water-power is to Lowell
and Lawrence, that is wine power for the
driving of nearly , all the devil's machinery."

from the use of tobacco by the mere exercise of the

dreds hive used it who art willing to bear witness
to the fact that ORTON'S PREPARATION com
pletely destroys the appetite for tobacco and leaves
the personas area from any desire for it as before
he commenced its use. It is Perfectly safe and
harmless in all cases. The Preparation acts directly
upon the same glands and secretions affected by to

ly cleansing the poison of tobacco from the system,
and thus allaying the unnatural cravings of tobacco.

I hereby certify that I have used tobacco for thir

used two pounds per month. I have made attempts
to leavt off at different 'times. 1 have left oft one
rear at a time, but always continued to hanker for
it until 1 used Orton's Prtpuratlon, which has com

would recommend all who are affected with this ter

This Is to certify that I had used tobacco to such
an extent that my htalth had become greatly im

down. In June. MT, 1 purchased - one box of Or

was completely cured. t have not had any hanker
