“Lrth«l of the free ami lioro* of the lifnro."—F. 8. Kit.
Many of you have doubtless stood upon the.
shore of soma lake or ocean, and gated off
upon its bosom, while the “storm-god" (ashed
iuwayes to fury and billows rolled like huge
leviathans, crashing upon their rocky con
fines. You then saw, perhaps, great ships
come rocking and wrecked ip sigh’., while
far away in ihe elemental battle,, jou saw bv,
the (lashes of lightning, some granhe tflyk,

al\,andon the west the vine clad hills of
France. Thus placed in the centre of Europe,
it forms a protecting line of separation between'
the principal nations and great powers of Ihe

The land is watered by the and
romantic streams, the Rhine, the Rhone, the
Tesino an) the Inn. No orlV&f* division ofthe
globe presents n panorama so astonishing,—
no other exhibits "so surprising a diversity of

their matures. Nowhere such extremes meet
as in Switzerland, where ctcrnalAlplne snows

"here dizzling glaciers rise nbo'e valleys
breathing aromatic scents, and where the
temperatures of every zone alternately reign

‘ t‘(h the expectation of evil limes,” "thirty-'
three men were assembled nf the rletid of ,
niuhl by the Lake of tlri to consult for Ihe,
salvalinn nf their country. At the moment
when tf>e beams of mornipn,s‘fruck ihe "neigh- ]
boring Alps, and seamej as signal fires to
light theth on their .enterprise, they clasped
each othefi hands and raising them Ip henvnii.
swore a solemn league to fhnl'Cfjtf who fash-;
iotied all men for equal freedom, to bn lirince
fonh as “one body and one soul” in the strug
gle for Independence. These men knew that
their oath would find an echo in the hearts of
their fellow-citizen*. Gessler scorned thesC
signs of resistance, and resolved to add mock
ery to nppresssinn. B'Ture the gale of iii.-f
castle He had n pole placed upon it
his (ini, arid ord.iined lint every one who
passed by shquld, bow tq it. Tlius he would
know, he said, who were, rebels‘and who
were loyal to ihe house of Austria. Wm.
Tell, one of the thirty-three happened (o pass
that way with his cross-bow qn his arm /find
leading hi* little son. lie looked up at the
hoi, stopped, and did not how his head, ~ fie

brought -before, him. You nil know the story
of Ihe npple, and how miraculously he pcN
formed the;.cruel iqsk; and how too, when
himself wife about to be -imprisoned for life,
when he thought on his wife and child host
ages in the enemy’s hands, and of his own
dent fatherland, he drew his,bow, and Tells
arrow pfetcrid trio tyrant’s heart; and Telfs
nation threw off.the Hapilntrg yoke forever'.
The twang of that bow clear ns the blast of
a bugle summoned the nation to arms. The
united Cantons wjth invincible perseverance
won end secured their dear-butt Jit liberty;
after : six>,v. pitched bailies with ihe-Austrtaij
