Burgh:rim—Early on Saturday morning Borne scoundrel entered the saloon of Eli George, through a back window, and robbed the till of the change left' therein, besides carrying off whiskey, tobacco and cigars. The robbery was committed at about three o'clock—shortly after the pollee had been relieved.

F. Trexler, Esq., of this city. We arc not conver sant enough with the German Language to pass Judgment on the merits of the contents of the book, but knowing, that publications of Mr. Trex ler are of a high character, we willingly believe that its contents are as valuable as the outer ap pearance of the little book Is tine. Price only 30 cents. Mr. Trexlcr has also issued his programme for the publication of Shilling's works, in parts. Shilling is said to have been one of the best Ger man writers, and thisedithin of his works, with remarks by a well-learned gentleman, will be the first in America. Mr. T's enterprise deserves the support of all who are acquainted with the Ger man language. . _ Summary.—The Allentown office of the Delaware River Telegraph Company is to be lo cated at the American Hotel. The election for city, ward and township officers will beheld this year ou the 19th of March. It was Samuel Thomas, and not David Thomas, :Jr., who went to Alabama last week. The Messrs. Thomas own In that State about 6000 acres of the best Iron and coal laud In the country. In a local, last week, occurred a mortifying error—promisment Instead of promise. The proof reader marked the error In the proof, but It was overlooked by the galley man. Some errors arc excusable, but this one Is not. Tho weather is in direct contrast with that of last week. We rejoice, for every body feels bet ter. Allentown erected 64 more houses last year than Reading. We will beat them this year and will keep on beating them until Allentown, in a few years, will have the larger population. Suspicious Characters. Several strange. looking men, white and colored, are in the city, and it behooves the police to keep an eye on them. They can be found on the outskirts of the city during the day. They are either fugitives from Justice, or else preparing for sonic rascality In this city.—Daily Nee,. Why not be more explicit, Mr. Nees? Why not give us a full description of these alarming char acters ? The police, how are they to distinguish these fugitives from. Justice? Arc there many of theme Who cut their hair? Who 'made their clothes? What do they look like 1 Please tell us, .for we feel seared and we are sure the rest of the community share our feelings, for while we know the pollee are vigilant, their number is not Inge and It is Impossible for seven guardians of the peace to have an eye for every man they never saw before. Doors and windows will now receive ex tra attention at locking-Up time and treasures will be hidden, yet these "strange-looking men, white and colored," may be hid under our bedirand we not know it. We saw the same Item in the Read ing Times, the other day, word for word. Reading was the afflicted city then, now Allentown will suffer from the ‘ strange-looking men," who "can be found on the outskirts of the city during the day," and we fear they will visit every town lu the State.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—On Monday evening as the 5 o'clock train from Philadelphia' on the North Pennsylvania Railroad was running into Coopersburg, au old man named Lewis In attempt ing to Jump off the train, fell and was severely cut about the head. It is thought he will recover. The press generally pitches Into the company when, such railroad accidents occur, but they never dis turb our tranquility of mind In the least.

Hartzell, at California, in Richland town ship, two miles north of Quakertown, was destroy ed by fire on Wednesday morning last. The fire broke out about midnight. It is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. While the build ing was burning an attempt was 'made to break Into the house of Mr. Hartzel, but on his wife giv ing the alarm the Villain fled. Mr. 'forint had returned from New York the day before, and the robber evidently supposed him to have consider. able money In his possession. The presumption Is that the building was set on fire to attract the attention of the family while he secured the coveted plunder. The loss is estimated at between $3,000 and 4,000. There was an Insurance of $2,600 on the property In a Philadelphia company.--Busks County Intetlignicer. THE. JusT Jonas.—lt is seldom that a per son holding an offee of great responsibility and trust, at such an curly day after his entry into office, displays such admirable fitness as Ims J edge Lougaker, the lately elected President Judge of this Judicial district. He has Infused new life and vigor into all the proceedings of the Court, and has not allowed cases "to drag their slow length along," as has too often been the ease heretofore. Hisinstructions of the Juries on points of Lowboy° been plain yet comprehensive, and he has not hes itated to do full and impartial Justice in all coach brought before him. Its relations with the mem, bars of the bar are of a pleasing nature, but not such as to force him to depart from his line of duty. All who have had any dealings with him at all are pleased with his conduct, both on and off the bench. We have no doubt, that while Judge Longaker presides over our courts the most equal and exact Justice will be done toward alLmen.— Reffilehent Monet.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BETIILEIIENI.—The well-known Lnekenbach Mills at Bethlehem were destroyed by fire last Wednesday night._ The fire was first noticed about 11 o'clock, when the flames spread so rapidly that the whole of the building was soon entirely enveloped by them, defying every effort and exertion of the firemen—who were promptly on the spot—to subdue them. They, however, succeeded in saving the adjoining dwel lings, while the mill with its contents was almost wholly consumed by the conflagration. The stor age In the mill consisted of grain to the amount of nearly 4,000 bushels, and about 1000 sacks of flour. The flour was to be shipped the following day. The cause of the fire is attributed to the heat of a flue, which was supposed to have communicated with a pile of feed. The loss Is estimated at about $30,000. There was an insuntncti on the property and stock of $9,000. ' The mill was an old, but very substantial stmts.- tore, and in a historical view, was one of the most memorable landmarks that any modern Betide hcznite or any of the rising generation could gaze at to remind him of the early history of our coun try. Let the reader transport himself in imagina tion to the time in the history of our country when Washington had his mission to the French forts, when George II was King of England, and when Ohio and Indiana were still claimed by the French, no Revolutionary War yet thought of, and then you are at a period when this mill had already been grinding the products of the early settlers for two years. September 2d, 1761 , 8 ground its first grist, aid on the 27th ofJanuary;69, it ground its last. Thus another relic that (bought back to us theinfancy of our country's hory—a monu ment with which was associated incidents of an cestral famo—is among the things that were, but what time and changes has it outlived. AFFAIRS II: EASTON. —Our spicy corres pondent sends as the following batch of items:— President Catlett, of Lafayette College, Is pre paring for a tour In Europe. Ile will attend the Scotch General Assembly In June, as a delegate from the 0. S. Presbyterian Assembly of this county. Easton, for a week or more, has been afflicted with a Trumbore Drum Corps, and It is unani mously voted to be worse than n bore—rather a nuijance. On Friday morning the drum corps In parading the streets met a funeral corpse ; the drums frightened the horses and for about ten minutes there was a lively time at that funeral. Mr. Albright is making a lot of velocipedes for our people. Last Friday one of the workmen mounted the restive steed in the open street and a large crowd assembled to witness the velocipedes- Man exhibition. As he_diknot understand the thing perfectly, he was thrown three or four times, although without Injury. The velocipede made no attempt to escape when Its rider was thrown, but it behaved finely. The convicts in the Rhode Island State prisons are to have weekly lectures delivered to them with a view to their reformation. We think it will be a failure, for we know men lu Easton by the score who have been lectured nightly by their wives for the last ten years or snore, and they have not re formed. The lecture system is a failure, at least we fear that it is so, but if they think differently up in New England, why, let them amuse them selves for a while in that style. Lafayette College has a model representing the whole operation of.coal-breaking, with outhouses, engine, boners, breakeN, screens and fans. 'Prof. Osborne uses it in his lectures. Phillipsburg is excited about is fortune of any million dollars ready in England to be distributed among the heirs, supposed to be residents of that place and vicinity. It is about time that this thing was stopped, as we do not know of a family of any siz6 who are not helm to some estate in England, 'or somewhere, of front lve to five hundred millions. Rev. J. Sanders Reed, of Philadelphia, the new rector of the P. E. Church, (late Mr. Elsegood's) of this place, has entered uptin his Ilutics. ' A Young Men's Christian Association has been organized In this place. Much.good will be done, we hope, for it was greatly needed. Such of our citizens who had pleces.of glass nicely smoked to be able to witness the eclipse of the moon last Wednesday night were greatly dis appointed, as the moon was hid by the clouds and did not show her face. Proctor R. Smith's lecture here last Tuesday night was, financially, a failure. Our passenger railroad company Is thriving and the °facers arc to Increase their facilities for hnsi- Steel mils ureheing used by the L. V. R. R. at this place. They talk of using them all the way up to Mauch Chunk. The Union Prayer Meetings still keep up their interest and are nightly crowded. It is useless to keep you acquainted with all the railroad accidents in the vicinity, of Easton. On the average, we believe, Ilve men are burled Into eternity every week by these so-called railroad accident's. The Court spent parts of two days in trying a case where nine inches of one man's stable roof extends and projects that much over his property line upon his relatives' side. The stable was built 17 years ago, and the actren has just been brought to recover damages. It Is a family quarrel, and the defendant gains the case—nrut the stable it shall stand. A sheep killing case was up. Bushels of papers are brought forward to prove that some dogs killed some sheep. The dogs damaged the sheep, but the law will damage the owners before they 'are done with it. A house of ill-fame was broken up last Thursday evening; but what is one among so many 1 Three lard thieves—unctuous rascals—were also arrested, and an Illy-looking chap, the receiver of the stolen property, brought before the proper au thorities'and held to bail, and the lard recovered and restored to the owner before he found out that he had been robbed.

THE LEHIGH COUNTS BIBLE SOCIETY.-At the meeting of the Lehigh County Bible Society, held in the German Reformed Church, in Allen town, on Sunday, January 10th, the following ad dress was delivered by Rev. J. W. Wood, Pastor of the let Presbyterian Church, on the manage ment and relations of the Pennsylvania Bible So ciety and the American Bible Society : The object of a Bible Society Is very plain and simple. It Is to circulate the holy Bible without note or comment. Wherever on earth there Is a human being without a Bible, such a society offers to fur nish that person with a t•opy of the word of God by •sale or by gift. In 59 years the American Bible Society have received nearly twelve millions of dollars (11,892,- 149.56), and has Issued In the same time 23,855,120 volumes . About four hundred thousand Bibles and Testaments arc Issued every year In this country by private publishers, and there are im ported Into this country from England annually as many copies as are published by the American Society and private ,publishers together. The Pennsylvania, Society has distributed 2,211,436 I copies of the scriptures, that Is, about one-tenth of the issues of the parent Society. • These are largo figures, and It may seem to some persons that the work ought to be about completed. But a little consideration will show that such Is not the fact. Bibles wear out by use—some are lost ; every wed ding calls for a new Bible—sometimes every men= ber of a family wishes a copy ; Sunday-schools, hotels, asylums, prisons, ships, &c., must be sup plied; largo numbers of immigrants arrive with out a copy of the word of God ; frontier settlers very often carry with them the axe and the plough, but not the Bible ; an immense field and a very needy one now ails for the Bible in those parts of our country where Slavery , existed. It would be a crime against God and man if we withheld any longer the Word of Life from the colored people. Besides, experience has shown that where a terri tory is %applied every five years, about ono family in six is found to be destitute—and, added to all this, the 'nations that have a corrupted Christianity, the followers of Mahommed, and the pagans, all now need and call for the word of God. No, the work is not done—it is only fairly begun, and at the present rate of supply, it would not be finished in a thousand years. We must enlarge rather than diminish our efforts. It has been the constant aim of the American Bible Society to secure systent in all departments of their labor, and to do this by dividing and spread ing, among the people in all our country, the re sponsibility, the labor, and the credit of the good work. The policy of that Society is the opposite of centralization. Its excellent plan of having auxili aries everywhere does not centralize money and power In Its own hands, but it scatters the money, the 'power, the work, and the praise among the friends of the cause. That plan is to have each auxiliary attend to the whole work in its ownneld —to collect the money in whatever way it thinks best, and to spend that money on its own field— the whole of it, if necessary—and If there is a sur plus, to send that to the pareut society. If all the friends of the enterprise were organized into aux iliaries, as the parent society wishes them to be, and would faithfully and thoroughly do their own work on their own field, then all the destitute would be supplied by their own neighbors, and the national Society would become only a publishing Mae for this country, and a disbursing agent for foreign lands. As things now are, the Society receives and applies a great deal of money simply because the people of many localities will not apply their own money, nor do what is properly their own work. The surplus 'paid to the parent Society by Its auxiliaries is only about one-eighth of its receipts —last year In was $112,520.48, while the total re ceipts were $804,314.84, and the year 'before the last the proportion was the same. The donations last year, outside of the auxiliaries, amounted to $135,633.86, and the year before, to $167,518.04. This shows two things : First, that there is a great_ amount of work which the people will not perform, and that the parent Society must do it, or it would be left undone • and secondly, that the largest amount of Boat o put directly into the hands of the American Socie • by the donors themselves, which seems to argue that the majority of donors prefer to trust the ministration of the Society rather than t apply their own funds by some other agency. The donations of the Pennsylvania Bible Society to the AMerlean Society for the tirsklifty years of the latter are given at $49,113.17, which is less than a thousand dollars a year, on an aver age, from the great Keystone State ! The remit tances for Bibles in the same time front this State were $467,663.75. This last item is a purely busi ness transaction, In whirl, value received in money is returned in books at cost, or less, to the decided advantage of the purchaser. The donations made to the parent Society from all sources are about one-third of its annual re ceipts,and less than half of this third is from the surplus funds of auxiliaries. These auxiliaries, moreover, obtain books front the parent Society at five per cent. below the cost or catalogue price, and sometimes at a still further deduction ; so that Bibles may be sold at one price everywhere:and also, by the Constitution of the parent Society, the officers of alt its auxiliaries hare the rigid to Inert with the Board of Managers in New York on the first Thursday of each month, to speak and to rote on any garetion before the board. • These remarks are intended -to show, and do show, that the American Bible Society neither claims nor exercises any superiority or lordship over its auxiliaries or their funds, but fully consid ers its auxiliaries as parts of itself engaged in the one great, good work, while "it is God that work eth all in all." There arc six State Societies in vigorous and successful operation, to which the whole work in their respective fields is given up: viz, Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Louisiana. The monies collected in these States (and whenever a like relation exists, as between a County Society and its branches) have two chances of being used up, before the parent Society can expect anything from that field. The collections taken in Lehigh county are used in this countyl if this Society think best to do so—then, if there is a surplus, it Is sent to the Pennsylvania Society, and it is used anywhere in this State as that Society judges to be wise—and vies:, if there is a surplus left again, it Is sent to the parent So ciety in New York. Surely the auxiliaries ought not to complain. The reports of the American Ilible Society show that the gratuitous grants about equal the Dona tions. As the Bibles that are sold are sold at cost there is of course no money made or lost by the operation. But the printing presses wear out, type and type-plates become useless, and other expenses arc necessarily incurred In tho working of the es tablishment. These outlays nmot bo mot, and they must be met by the gifts of the friends of the Bible cause. It is, therefore, impossible for the Society to give away the whole amount of its dona tions, if it continue Its operations. The repair, or the enlargement of its manufacturing facilities, must be paid for by the voluntary benevolence of its friends, and sometimes men of large hearts and large views have made donations for specific ob jects, that the donations from auxiliaries might not be used. This was . prominently the case in regard to the erection of the Bible House in Phila delphia and New York. The Bible House in New York covers three.ptarters of an acre, and is six stories high. Its cost was about $300,000, and was paid by special gifts front liberal men, so that not a cent was expended in its erection that had been given for the circulation of the Scriptures. The parent Society, by recent additions to its printing machinery, naking nineteen large Attains' presses now at work, Is able to furnish 12 copies of the Bible beery minute, or 720 every hour, or about two and a-half million a year. About four hundred persons are employed in the building every day, and are paid for their work ; about 200 are females. Of course, a large amount of money is expended In salaries and wages. It is just here that lealousie;3 — and suspicions sometimes arise, and remarks arc thrown out which arc adapted to prejudice the public against the State and national institutions. It can be said In reply that the Society in Philadelphia and New York court investigation into all their ways and works. Besides, the character of the thirty-six laymen who constitute the Board of Managers of the parent Society, and Of the officers of the auxii lades who have it right to sit and vote with them, and the character of the twenty-four gentlemen in the Board of the Pentisyivania Society (fifteen laymen and nine clergymen) representing seven religious denominations, are a guarantee against any unwise or extravagant use of funds committed to their charge. Some statements in the Treasurer's report of the American Bible Society might; without explana tion, lead to the thought that the salaries of the chief executive officers were extravagantly large One item runs thus: " Services of secretaries, gen eral agent and assistant treasurer, $25,000." (Repcirt, 1868.) Do five men receive that amount The whole force of men in the Bible House is di vided into two departments, the executive and the manufacturing. The first Is thsifof the soureta ries, treasurer, and agent, and in this are fifteen men. The amount referred to, we suppose, Is pall to those fifteen, making the average to each $1,666.00. lint this is paid by the rent of moms in the Bible House, which last year amounted to $27,000. The donations of auxiliaries are not used to pay those executive officers. The Managers work gratui tously and contribute largely. They are all lay men, of several denominations, of high standing, and of eminent proft;ssional and financial ability, and they are Christians who love Jesus and the souls of men. These brethren guard with consci entious and laborious care the money entrusted to them. After the experience of half a century, and the handling of many millions of dollars, it may be emphatically asserted that in no organization on earth Is money so safe, and so likely to be hon estly used, as in the hands of those Boards, or Committees who manage the benevolent enterprises of our times. Among these, the Managers of our Slate and national 'Bible Societies are not excelled by any in the purity of their motives, and the wis dom of their plans. Our Pennsylvanht Society employs two General Agents, the Rev. Irvin 11. Torrence in the eastern, and the Rev. W. W. Fells in the western part of the State, and those occasionally employ assistants. Mr. J. P. Rhoads has charge of the Depository at the corner of Seventh and Walnut streets, Phila delphia. The individual salaries of these brethren are given in an aggregate of $8,266.07, which in cludes " freight, awning, insurance, post office and revenue stamps, gas, fuel,traveling and incidental expenses." By these details we may reasonably suppose that their salaries are not too high, yet it would give greater satisfaction If the Pennsylvania and American Bible Societies would publish a more detailed account of their respective treasuries touching the salaries of officers and agents. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions at Boston commands unquestioned confl- Seam, and gives complete satisfaction, by publish ing the name and salary of every officer and agent in Its connection. The American Society last year employed forty two agents, three of whom are in foreign countries. An item in the Treasurer's hult report reads thus : "Collecting and distributing agents and their trav eling expenses, $114,383.22," and this refers exclu sively to agents in this country: If 39 Is the whole number who receive this $84,383.21, inclusive of traveling expenses, it is clear that their individual salary must be less than $2,000, and it Is equally clear that such an aecrage Is nbt extravagant In these days of bight prices. The "distributing" .agents are probably not included in the thirty-nine, but are employed temporarily, and on a limited field, by the General Agent, to distribute Bibles to the destitute. This would again make the average salary of bath of the thirty-nine still less—but I cannot avoid the conviction that the American Bible Society ought to make its Treasurer's report more definite by names and details. These agents are an indispensible necessity, Several counties in this Stath have no county or ganizations—ln some twenty-five counties the Societies am Inactive and Irregular, or If they act at all It is inefficiently and on a narrow field. There are about one hundred auxiliaries in this State and nearly half of them make no systematic and con tinuous efforts. In large portions of the Stale, the work would not be done at all without the services of an agent. Their office is no sinecure, and its Income makes no one rich. The agent who Is fit for his work is fit also to fill responsible and well paid positions in other spheres. lie appreciates the comforts of borne and the sweetness of family tics, but leaves them for the life of a pilgrim and the work of a servant. Ills mission is mainly to those who neglect their duty, or are careless in performing it—to the prejudiced, the Gault-finding and the stingy, to those who have no Bible find often I / no Sabbath or sanctuary. Next to the auxiliaries, the faithful agent is the most efficient arm of the Bible Society. In the vast field of the South, now calling fbr help, and, in the widely scattered popu lation west of the Mississippi, his labors cannot be dispensed with. The selection of the right kind of men, the supervision and compensation of their labors we can safely trust to the Managers of the State and national Societies. One topic more. The Bible Society aims to publish mainly the cheaper kinds of Bibles, so as to supply the largest possible number of people with the Word of Salvation, and sells them at cost for the same reason. But it never sells below cost to any parties except to auxiliaries. It Belts to no one who wishes to sell again fora profit. Ninety-six of every hundred Bibles issued by the Society are of the cheaper binding, that all may be aisle to procure a copy. But the friends of the Society desire n. few copies in more expensive bindings and form, because of the correctness of the text, the beauty.of the typography, and they are willing to pay for them. In conclusion. The great enterprise of furnish ing "the Words of Eternal Life" to every soul is wisely organized, and honestly administered, In the national, State, and locust Societies. The lead ing managers are men of unimpeachable integrity, full of Christ-like love and zeal, and are prepared to multiply and circulate copies of the Will of God ns far as the Christian community will give them the means of doing so. They are willing and de sirous to rectify every real defect in administration, and to co-operate:ln themost efficient methods with all who love the Savior of lost men, to bring about the time when all shall know Illm and be saved by Ills grace. Very solemn responsibility is upon us. Let its do our duty in giving our money,.sending up our prayers and earnestly working until we are called to enter into the joy of our Lord. SIi'ITZERLAND. CI LAREN'S, SWITZEI U how the dark masses of Elder Moeneh and the Jungfrau, In their ley garmehtu, reared their hooded hepds into the grey light of morn, and 'the valley yet lay In silent sleep, as we put our things In our knapsacks, a hot breakfast In our stomachs, 11110 ourselves In the streets of Inter laken In the morning.

The southern shore of the lake becomes here, momentarily, nuire striking and sulflttne. The sharp peaks of the Stm.ithoorn. mid the pyr amidal manses of the 'Meson, rise like two gigan tic sentinels guarding Ilut narrow entrance Into the valleys of Simmenthal and Barden. Should ering our worldly effects, we funnelled down the Vale of Simutentlial, and arrived at Zuffersimmen at R o'clock In tho evening, having been fourteen and a-half hours on the train'', ',whaling the intervals for resrand detours. This Is one of the most beautiful pastoral vat i..p•a or the Herrn.° Oberland, abounding in 11 cultivated fields, thriving orchards, gardens a meads, and soft, given, lams-like slopes, extm .ng to the tops of the hills, and embellished w• wild flowers. pretty little cots perched way up among the wild shrubbery, or seeming to' dang le from the clouds upon the slopes. Picturesque little villages dot the plains, and towns resting on the banks of n wild, foatniag river winding along the defile, Intermingle IF ith bleak, grey walls of limestone, wild ravines from whose dark recesses small streams gurgle forth into the day light, present a picture of sliblime beauty. Then, too, the tinkling of the cow-bells, and the songs of the mowers In the valley, or the Joe audible voices of the wild hay gatherers away toi among the crags of the wild Alps, afford n strut log scene of contentment, Inipplocas and sync Here one meets with n repolsive contrast will the natural beauty of the scenery; for It is In the midst of this scene that loan seems to be stricken with a visitation that renders him nhideous object Goitre and Cretinism, two maladies, If maladies they may be called, are found In many of the Swiss valleys, as well as In Italy. Their muse has not yet been definitely ascertained, but the want of a propCr circulation of sir Is Hui 'awed by some physicians to have something to do w Ihe matter. The former Is a swelling in the gh or other part of the nevi:, which generally creases with the growth of the person so afflict until In some cases It attains such au enorm size as to hang like a huge pouch 110W11 over breast, and as It grows, Increases ha weight, at tics body, unable to copier t it, sinks lacnamth I actually 811 W an old W0111:111 going very ueur tier hawk and feet.

It was already 8 Melt lei: nest morning when we started on our wadi:. The sky above us gave faint indications of rain„and all along the valley small clouds swept along the slopes,or hung lazily over the hill-tops, imparting a rather strange aspect to the landscape. At noon we halted In the thriving town of St' la- men, where the peasants were Just holding their weekly market. 1 was surprised at the 'number of pretty faces I encountered. The dresses, too, were unlike those of other %Alleys, showing more of the modern cut In their garments, while not a few sported kid gloves and silk aprons. Stumm is the prinelkal.town in the valley: The best 5,1 cheese is here made which, with rattle Of the llnest breeds, forms the chief trade. Soon after leaving Haanen, It commenced mining, and for the rest of the day we Jogged on through mud and mire,' our ••" umbrella" doing the sheltering until it became wet, when It leaked so badly that we found itadvisable to shut it down a n d turn it into a commissary department. A little below the town the German language gives way to the French, while the houses assume a dilrerellt all penntnee,nelng not so neatly built 1. thus 01 the Canton of Berne. Each house is decorated with Scripture verses. Ilere also tine laces are made, and I san' many old women busily engaged in knitting, twisting, I braiding the article, and I could not help wondering what some of cony lady acquaintances would say if I were m tell them that the exquisite laces which adorn their hats were made by the homeliest out women in erca -tion. • ' The rain increasing, we were compelled to re main over night in a small village called Muhl.. helm, from whence we Set out next morning to cross the Gemini Pass to the Lake of Geneys. The words of Byron "Beautiful as a drain.," or. cdrred to me frequently and I was "all anxiety" to see for myself. Ishall never forget the Monte, the grandeur, the sublime scene t hat met myeves as we wound up tne narrow bridal path. The almost deafening chirp of the grasshoppers, the humming of the bees, the twitter of the many little hints, all Mingling with the mellow tink ling of the cowherds, the lc of the rippling fountains that gushed down the mountain sides, and the many variously colored dowers upon which the insect tribes were feasting; all seem ingly blended Into one strain of hallowed music, which sounded like some anal chorus among the wild crags that lock in this small paradise. There was something in this scene, so soft, so sweet, and yet so lonely, that it seemed Indeed more like a dream that reality.' There was tile drowsy hum of bees that conscious that summer is but short, were toiling diligently. The songs of the birds that must soon forsake this lovely spot, the tinkling oft s lie d pa.Vur l ing eo f w t ibe i lls . And ender, render!! hearty scene more uo dre?i e ngite o than e real. " A sUiTclimb of four hours brought us to the summit, and the whole Indescribable scene burst Into view. Beneath us lay the Lake of Geneva, locked In by snow-crowned mountains on one side, and soft, green slopes and vineyards on the other. I cannot describe the scene As I saw it, nor the two whole hours I spent in reflection and contemplation on the smotnit. It was beautiful and grand without parallel. I have seen lakes closed in on all sides by gi gantic mountains; lakes whose shores were tit tabled with habitations, and whose slopes were the no plus ultra of loveliness; lakes with wild. romantic beauty, where cascades and cataracts hung like threads from the sky into them; but Lake Geneva surpasses them nil. An I ran my eye over its Waters, and saw the many little skifls gliding like phantoms over Its bosom, I imagined I saw it again ruffled under the oars of the Ro mans, and lived in ages long since post. But a cloud hung between the scene and my eyes, and I could not see it right; for I had partedwlth my g'nltle, and the parting was " fu' tender." Ile had lightened many a wca y tulle, bad nude so many a lonely hour flow bypleasantly, and had id not been for him the hand that scrawls these lines might by this time lie stark in the cseylee, or at the loot of the precipice. To him I owe a foot Journey, a most pleasant incident in my life, and the render must not censure me when I took the hand of Joseph to say farewell, we both looked nt each other through moist eyes. " Farewell, we may meet again," was all we spoke,' and so he turned on his heel anti was soon out of sight. The last I saw of him was his '• umbrella" describing several scald reles in the air, as lie hurried down the uneven pathway, • here I was alone again In the world, and betook myself to whistling for fear of taking to that more consoling amusement, crying. llurrying down the mountain side I arrived at Clare's at four in the afternoon, where, after de posit log my knapsack in the Inn, I 'droned down to toe lake. It being hot, and I dusty, I soon plunged ink) the water and swain out in the lake. And now I nit me down to finish these lines; golden gleam.of light falls through my window. and the deep-dyed waters of the lake break with lulling nwtudi upon the shore. • Away in the distance the Jura mountains are capped with clouds of tinted glory; a few lonely sea gulls win now lazily over the waters, and the white walls of Chilton are reflected in the liquid element, while a few sailing vessels. hover near it, like glior is of the gaines that once besieged it. Over on the Savoyard side, the perpentliciarr rocks of the Dent du Midi, with its everlasting dont; of snow, has caught up the purple tint oft he sinking sun, and sends a streak down upon the lake like a long line, while around me I hear a strange .lan gunge spoken, and I lay down my pen, and rub my eves to annure myself that I am not dreaming, ' and finding I am not, I hasten to close this letter by greeting you all from the classic and beautiful waters of Lake Leman. My Journey is ended for lice present. and while I feel that what T have Ile romplished Is but moan and ineonstderable In comparason with what lies before me, yet, like one whose chief labor Ilan been to toil for the welfare of his fellowdnen, and has succeeded to some extent, I can say that nt least something 1111,1 been necomplinhed.'
