A TRIP TO NIAGARA.
cel- - Under the above head, we find a very pleas
ant, as well as instructive article in the November
No. of the Southern Literary Messenger, from
tha pen of a Washingtonian_ We regret that we
cannot copy the article entire. We cannot forego
however extracting that portion of the article de.
acnbing the author's “trip to the falls" of Niagara
and the "wonders" he there beheld. lie says—
From Lockport the cars pursue what is
called the ridge route, which is on a level
with the- waters before their descent: The
scenery is fine; you behold,na you prtirrres,
the bosom of Ontario and the opposite sl e ores,
which cannot be less than fifteen or twenty
miles distant. As you approach the falls,
you are whizzed in your course, over most
fearful precipices; lookingout from the cur-
Windows, you seem sailing , nir—the trou
bled waters of the Niagara, trees and rocks
Mutest immediately beneath your body. It
was nearly sunset when niy straining gaze
first rested on the long:sought wonder; and
surely no pen can describe, even at a dis
tance, its surpassing beauty. When first it
became visible, a friend at my side pointed
towards it, without uttering a word. 1 shall
long remember the mellow and departing
sunshine—the cloud -rising and suspended
over the spot—the verdure of the surround
ing forest—the green waters,und the wintry
looking snowy foam; but I will reserve all
description fur one mare in detail. Arrived
at the falls, we were well entertained in a
splendid house most appropriately called the
"Cataract." 1 retired to rest, lulled by the
sound of the rushing waters. The weather
had been cool, and as usual, it was the sig
nal of departure; so that but few visiters
were remaining. After an catty breakfast,
in company with a friend, I sallied forth. I
might now discourse in general terms, and
were 1 capable, put together most euphoni
ous sentences,compouuded ofsun-shine,rain
bows,roar and thunder; and however I might
succeed on the score of poetry or eloquence,
1 should convey nothing to the reader which
would prove satisfactory or descriptive. Dis
carding, then, ambition of style, and all at
tempt at display, 1 shall endeavor to keep
the reader as it were at my side, during my
rambles, and communicate to him, with all
the perspicuity which I can command,what
1 saw and how 1 felt.
To commence—we are on-the American
side; we will cross the river on that part
which is immediately between us and Goat
Island. The volume of water is here com
pressed into the space (I may not be very
accurate) of about 2 . .00 sards, over whic h
is constructed a rude bridge, spanning from
rack to rock. You will pause to observe
the passing flood—its fury and violence you
cannot imagine. It is covered all over with
.froth and . foam—it leaps, dashes up, whirls
around and around in every-direction, 'and
pursues its course onwards to the precipice,
brawling and clamorous! Goat Island is
soon gailied-a wild, roma .t[c, beautiful
spet,seearating the two sheets of, killing. wat
er. The (*west trees are numerous, afford
ing dense shade—the bark of many of thein
curiously carved with the names of candi

of any other available means of indulging
their laudable ambition. Thig island• is
about three-fourths of a mile in circumfer
ence; its northeast corner is at the very edge
of the precipice—hie we there. You stand
upon the spot barely sufficient for a pathway
which there terminates. Grasp the oak
tree at your side; li,r safety sake eneircle it
in your arms—betiding Your head over, you
look Intraight dovvii to the level 'of the river
below—"how fearful and how dizzy 'tis."
Far, fair, far beneath you is the rocky shore
—you distrust youirfooting—you leek one
instant—your glance rests upon the-whiten
ed surface of the waters—you hasten to re
tire. Receding a few sieps, you crintintte
your view. To the right (the Ametican
side) the water descends in one unbroken ,
mass; green and tranquil at t lie.very surface,
it becomes, in its down-going, like a vast,
concentrated, compressed snow shower,
which will answer us generally descriptive
Of the fulling water in every direction.. The
Amer lean falls are almost due north. Now
look to the northwest—the British side; there

dimensiens, of a horseshoe shape--;the cere
Ire apparently worn in considerably more
than the edges. The current theie b •owing
to the greater width of the river. is mueli •
less vi xed and rapid. The surface of the
water, near the edge, becomes smooth, and
ofa color the most beautiful emerald. You
behold a stone obserYatory near the shore
of Gout Island, and thence a kind.of scaffold
ing extends out over the very abyss. -It is
not, however, .advisable to indulge in the
curiosity which will assail you of going out
upon it. You have a distinct view of the
British shoe i 7hich here are not very eleva-;
ted; the tavein beyond the national bounde
ry, with its white portiro, looks well. We
have limited ourselves hitherto, to the level
of the river above. We are all along sup.
posed tube upon the edge of Goat Island.'
We will now attempt to give a feeble por
traiture of what meets the eye, as you look
bAow upon the bosom of the river. • I had
fergotteirto odd that the water falls on the
British side, in a direction neatly eastward.
ly. Looking down, you perceive the mist.
rising to a considerable height, light and
vaporish, and passing off into the sky, in the
shape of white clouds—these clouds fre
queritly connected,in one continuous volume,
with the very surfuce of the water. The
grand, engros4ing, and most beautifulspec
tacle, however, is the rainbow: it spans the
river, resting between the two shores, hang
int. in pictorial and gorgeous splendor,ethe
aild,brilliant,between the ungry elements
and the tranquil heavens; not more lovely'
could it have looked to Nouh, when, after
the flood, he beheld it from the windmvs of
his ark of safety, than there it seems. The
surface of the -water, for a considerable dis
tance, is all foomovith a tinge here and there
of the natural blue color of the river, work
ing in with a handsome and frequent eon
trast. The sound of the cataract is not un
pleasant; it fills the whole sense of hearing,
and may be compared, with great justness
and correctness, to the impressive, solemn,
loud and continued murmur which the wind,
at might ; frequently occasions in the pine
woods of mountain forests, Indeed, the
scene without it, would want one of the most '
material of those components which, com
bined, make up its unrivalled sibliMity.
I took occasion to cross the ferry, which
starts froth a point near the base (tithe Arner•
icau falls. The boat is propelled by a Single
oarsman, and is whirled and dancedribote
upon the troubled flood. Seated in her stern
you have a full view of both sides ofihe cilia.'
ract, and perhaps the very best which you
can attain. The stairs leading dotiii to the
shore, from which you are ferried over, are
long and most lalririotia. Arrived below,
you look up the river bunk to an enormous
altitude of solid rock, with, small streams
dripping down through the fissures. On the
British side, is a like enormous rocky wall,'
less sudden, howeveri and abrupt than that
which you have left,, which is gained by a
winding and apparently (lunge, ous road; at
its termination—the landing-place—you find
vehicles ready to wait upon you.
The effect upon the feelings, of this gigan
tic prodigy of nature (the falls,) may not be
easily described. I have frequently read
of the sentiment of his own nothingness
which it excites hit he bosom of the beholder.
With me it had no such effect. I felt lie if
in the immediate presence of t he great Crea
tor—his heavenly bow of peace and beauty
hanging over the vapory tribute of the wat
ers. , My mind was filled with ideas of im
mensity and power, and my soul seemed di
vested of its load of earth, and hovering in
contemplation towards the great source of
existence—material and intellectual—at
whose word the seas were filled with waters
—the waters with the finny broed—the shell.
fish and the leviathan—and the earth covered '
with verdure, forests and fruits. Ile, who
before; the wild savage wandered in pursuit
of game upon these rocky cliffs, commanded
this flood to thunder and to foam—unttred,
,unchanged, and unabated, from age to age
—created not man,_ in all the - mysteries of
his elevated nature,fer a transitory existence-
No—when the stars shall cease to hang in
nightly splendor over this scene—When the
tints of the rainbow shell fade upon its bosom
--when thirblacketied walls which surround
it shall 'be molten, and flow like the stream
at their base-the glorious intelligence,which
can see Deity through the grandeur of hut
works of sublimity and awe, shall survive to
behold Omnipotence face to face,and to glory
in the enjoyment of him above, whose being
and whose nature it could appreciate, love,
and reverence here below., Elevated to such
feelings by•even the comps rutivelrfeeld,a

cream, ow;ng perbaps to causes not exactly
understood; and every dairy woman-knows
that cases occur in which the manufacture
of ft good article is Impracticable.. A friend
assures us that in ordinary cases, the difficul

quality procured, by the addition of a little
sula3ratus to the cream We. have since
tried it when cream proved refractory and
found it to succeed admirably. A spoonful
Of salmratus, pulverized is a sufficient dose
for two gallons of cream. After the cream
has been churned a proper time, if no signs
of butter appear, sprinkle the -powdered
salwratus over the surface, half at a time, as
it is possible no more than hallfrnay be re

The philosophy of the matter, we take to
