!By t, JO . Hti S. t. Atte,ll

After passing the Notch of the White
Mountains, the Varellerepters ulvi a plain,
through which. titearidert.the , Ammonoosuc
river, as it itastens.oll*aid to unite its waters
t with the floods of the Connesticur. As you
ride along Vs pleasant roali-ilie valley, 0•
pen in the west, is fritited otithe north and
khe south by high hilts, while behind you
rise the inajestie, summit of the mountain
range you-have jiist.passed. For four miles
you ride along, much of the way under the
Annie of overhanging trees, meeting with no
house, and:With - no signs of human life ex
cept the road over which you are travelling.
A turn in the road suudenly opens to you a
beautiful scene. In .the midst of a smooth
and verdant meadow, appears the spacious
establishment of Mr. Fabyan. The house
—2OO feet in length,-three stories high, with
large barns and.sheds adjoining it, with mul
titudes of children
.. Rlaying upon:the green
grass, and groups of gentlemen and ladies
seated upon'the piazza; and parties coming
and going, in carriages anchon liorsebacli—
. presents a scene of cheerfulness and of do
mestic happiness, strikingly jn . enntrast with
thesombre and sublime scene's With which
your mind has been both : exalted and op- ,
pressed, in passing through the wild gorge. of
the mountains.
The magnitude of F,nbyan 4 s establish- ,
ment, and the nice table which he spreads,
seem to make his house, this season; the 1
fashionable place of resort, though it is far
less favorably . ituuted, na to scenery, than
die house of Thomas Crawford, at the Notch.
As you sit underthe piazza at Falwell's, you,
see a range of high hills, covered with for
est, funning along the border of the valley
upon, the north and the south, the spurs Or
abutments of the White Mountains,. which
at the distance of about ten miles rear •their
majestic stimmits into the eloUds. - 7
At 8 o'clock in the evening a small can
non is fired from a little mound in the vicin
ity of the house, and the echoes roll along
the hill-sides like reverberating thunder,': till
far oil' in the distance, they die away.,-,.
There are few scenes in nature which ha'e
ever affected my mind so deeply as some of
the echoes to whiehl have listened among
these hills. You stand at Fabyan's door in
the dark hoot-ot night, and blown trumpet ;
in a moment, far away upon the summit of
the forest-crowned hills, you hear thdse
trumpet tones in softened, yet deeper and
infinitely -more .solenin notes, rolled hack 4; 1

trient. As those notes rolled along the hill
sides in the gloom of night, it seemed ns
•,thotigli the Archangel must he there, giving
utterance to that summons which shall
wake the dead. The allusion will, for a
.Moment, come so forcibly over the mind,
:as you listen to those echoes expanding and
siding ;Wing the mountain range, that you
--almost expect to see the flutter of the arch
angel's wing as lie emerges from the obsc-U
-rity of his pavilion of clouds and darkness.
Bat if these feeble echoes can so overwhelm
the soul, what must that scene be, when the
throne of God shall be open in the skies,
and the boil of heaven shall he a.s.senditing,
and the doomsday trump shrill call the in
numerable dead from their g raves, and the
world shall _ be in flames- What is pleas
ure; what is honor; what is wealth,in spew
of this dread scene ! . .
•• That day of wrath !. that dreadful dav,
. When beaver and earth shall pass away ! '
What power shall be the sinner's sety 1
• flow shall he meet that dreadful day,
When, shivering as a parched scroll.
The flaming heavens t a gether.roll;
And louder yet—ard yet more dread,
&vigils the high trump that wakes the dead ? •
011! on that day—that wrathful day, ' -
When matz to judgment - wakes from clay,
Be Thou.() Christ! the sinner's-stay,
Though heaven and earth shall taw , away."
' The next morning after our arrival at
Fabyan's, we prepared to ascend Mt. Wash
ington. The scene of departure is a ier3 , l
interesting one. IMmediately after break
'fast the horses were found, all saddled, stand
' ing by the side of the piazza, and the gen ! .
'tlemen •and ladies, in great variety of 'cos
tume, were selecting their steeds -for 'the'
•mountain ride. Our-party consisted of thir,
teen, three ladies,
,nine gentlemen, ; and a
guide, with a knapsack containing ;provis
ionsoriur pie . nic upon the'summit. All
the company in the house were aiiemblad•
to witness the departure. The whole.acene
was one of Unusual animation and hifuritY.
It wag a, bright and beautiful morning, al h 1
a cool mountain 'breeze, breathing along
through' the -valley, gave invigoration bath
to body "and mind. Soon all were mOnuted,
sand starting off at - a brisk trot, we rodC along

and the forest e trees., whi h had towered so

size fill they became onl :one or two feet in
heiglit,: , and spread their ' nnrled and scrag ,
gy.lbrancltelt over : the und, .We soon
rose tdxwe this stunted vegetation, and the
herites climbed froar rock to rock over the

vealed below us ,a wild nail solitary wofld of
sombre fo ests, and rsouPtain ranges furrow

i t.
aisle, and torrents, nowlivisible by a silvery
foam leaping down some rocky bed, and
again onl by-a; long line in the forest,eliow
ing-the p ath it had cut through the trees.—
The precipitous ascent now became at times
rather fearful, and one could not hut shud
der as balook,ed down in the gloomy gulfs
below him, at the thought of the conseqence
of !one mis-step by his horse. When we had
ariived - within about half a mile of the sum
mit of the minintain, we came to a dilapida
ted stonei hut, without•diaor or roof; and here
we left the horses, though adventurous per
sons sometinles keep upon their backs, and
climb over these precipitous and Crumbling
messes of granite, to i the very top of -the
mountain , . We, hotvever, found the last
halflmile,as arduous at undertaking as we
were willing to adveliture even on foot.—
Climbing slowly in Jading) file among the
huge blocks of stone Witiel'eare piled togeth

upon the summit. • There is something aw
fat in the aspect of the! dark, crushed, storm

Mountain monarch. No life is seen here ;
nb Sounds are heard but the rush of the
storiP and the roar of,the thunder. A scene
of wildness and desolation is spread around
which is.indescribable,, hut which amuses in
the soul the highest emotions of sublimity.
An ocean of mountain is outspread in every

We 'Spent an hunt upon the summit. It
was the middle of Joly. At a short distance
from us were seen Severul acres of snow.—
lSPrending our refreshments upon a fiat rock,
- wej partook' ..f our repast,. and' at 4 o'clock
we were greeted by pur friends at Fabyan's
.as we dismounted nt his door. .
The question is often asked, Is it wise
for ladies to undertake the ascent ? Aly
advice: is this : if a lady is in feeble
health, or of very nervous temperament, she
will.firtd herself far tnore comfortable to re
main in her rocking-chair at Fabyan's.—
But ifw lady is in ordinary health, and has
the least love of adventure, , let her by no
means forego the pleasure of the enterprise.
Every hour will be 'fraught with luxury, and
the remembra4ice Will be a source of joy
1 while life shall last!
In my last letter! I gave an account of the
ascent of Mti Washington, under circa in
stances peculiarly favorable. The day wusil
fine from moriningltill evening, the company,
was agreeable, of no accident occurred.
There are, hoWever, other narratives which
may be written, of a very different charac-'
, ter, and it is right that both sides of the pic
ture should be exhibited. A few - days be-,
fore our ascent a horse; far up the mountain s ,
tripped and fell, throwing a lady among the
rocks and breaking her arm. Such acci;
dents are extremely rare ; but I could not
init think, while winding along among those
craggy cliffs; many miles from any human
habitation, how awful would be the calami-
ty, - if the fall of a horse should cause the
fracture offs . thigh bone. To convey the 1
offerer down the precipitous path would be
extremely; difficult, and must cause intense
agony 1 Tht# ascent is not without its per
il ; and wNen- a party have safely reituned t
i
they all hye cruise for thankfulness. Still,
it is eldomithat any accident occurs ;
and thou h now, for several years, the ave

oceans of water upon those tempest-beaten
ledges, where we expected that otat . friemis
were pe'Jted by it ivithut the slighest possi
bilityl a
shelter. In he course of half no
J ot
hour tlie cloud gradu lly arose till It rested
like a, clap on the very (summit of the moun
tain,— .S.; white silvery #treak was plainly vis
ible t 9 }he naked eye, extending from the
rough (rine of the clouds at the top till it
was 104 t in the gleam 0 . the forest below.
" Witat is that white streak 1" inquired some
one of an attendant. "It is the focal, of the
wateT," was the reply i " rushing down the
ravine; you always pee it after a heavy
showei on -the mount , in." It told in most
eloquent .languugc w
our friends inu.st•shav,

emptying itself' f its
st rivp4, rushing, roar' ig, and foaming on its
way, and of such. magnitude as to ; attract
the eye of the beholdfr though ten miles from
it.. ,
BIM soon. the clotici again beg k att to settle
calmly, deliberately,' portentously. There
was : an expression ofjnflexible determination
,
in its steady and majestic gatherings, which
was awfully sublitne 7 Blacker and blacker
grew. ; the accumul Ring masses,, till our
friends were involv d again in its midnight
gloom, It seemed ;yr though the Spirit of
theiMbuntain bad .caught intruders in her
sacred haunts, and with Merciless severity
was wreaking upon title-in her vengeance.—
But language Gnus at express the emotion
with which we ga4ed upon these threaten
ing‘mnoinetta, in She midst of whose inys
tepeA our friends were suffering we knew
not what. The. mcjrc mirthful ai Fabyati's
were making themsplves very merry ; in view
oft:lie gratuitous shinver bath the adventitr
.era were receiving, while others; endeavored
ill vain to disguise, under forced smiles, the
feelings of awe and apprehension. Thus it
continued all the day. Cloud after cloud
was gathered and iixhausted, and the ravine,
afier each successive deluge, was white with
the foam from the 'rushing torrent.
About the middle of pil - afternoon all the
inmates of the houke were assembled at the
windows and tinder the piazza, waiting for
OM return of the pnrty. Soon we saw one
gentleman nod lad i y ripproauthing nt full gal
lop ;' they had oltstripped the rest of their
companions, and the wholh household was
etmgregated, with( perhitps pardonable un
phlitepess, to lot at them. But such a
..iitvaca j lete. as they.. i,re.,seateiiheinntrs de:-serko-..
i .x...,... Drunehutr through- and through, cotr
ered with niud, and with hat and clothes in
'letters, they alighted at the door, and speed
,dr sought refuge in their rooms. . One after
another the partvi carne straggling along in
as woeful a plight ns can well be imagined.
The ladies were plastered ,with mud to the
waist, from clanthering up and down the
slippery path. *heir garments, perfectly
ISaturated with water, had draggled behind,
Catching on the I flinty rocks and upon the
roots of trees, until they were torn into
shreds ; and the gentlemen, with pen-knives,
had cut off about a fnot of this ungraceful
and inconvenient trail. The boughs of the
trees, burdened With water, had hung down
•
!over the path and moulded their hats into
ivpictiiresque forms, which a French milliner
I . :might despair dt imitating. Their soiled
and tattered garments were clinging tena
ciously around I them, dripppilig,‘ with the
mountain shon+rs. Several of the ladies,
when they saw the numerous company as
sembled at the door to witness their woeful
[ plight, reined in" their horses and. hesitated,
I shrinking from the exposure of the grotesque
I masquerade in Which the Spirit of the Moun
tain had decked them. Btit immediately
seeing there was no alternative hut to face
the foe, they applied the whip to the horses,
and in a canter; anything but triumphant,
i hastened to the door, and leaping from their
`saddles; pressed through the admiringcrowd
Ito their apartinents. In the course of an
hour, however., all appeared again in the
parlors, bright and blooming, and apparent
! ly very much refreshed by their cool tuoun
tain bath. - They all insisted that they had
bad a most delightful time—the storm upon
I the mountain Was most sublime, and that
they would not have lost it on any account
I—that the rain-drops •were of the size of
!ordinary apple's—that in one instant 'after
the cloud had ( opened upon them, they were
Ikon as thoroughly drenched through and,
through as if they had been plunged into
the ocean. Ilknow not that any one receiv
ed the slightest permanent inconvenience
from the adventure. And instead of having
thir. zeal abated by this discomfiture, the
sight of the iimuntain in a storm had in
creased their desire :to see it in its clearness
and splendor and they were all eager for
another . excursion. •

1110 TIME To READ.
Ho* often do we hear men excusla thern
selves from subscribingto a - newspaper or
periodical, by saying they have no newspaper
read. When we liehr a man thus exciiise
himself we conclude he has never-found
tint? to confer any substantial advaritage ei
ther upon his family, his count - 1-y, orlhimsell.
To hear a freeman thus express himself, .'is
truly humiliating; arid we can farm no tith
er opinion than that such a an isl of little
importance to society. uc men ieneral
ly have time to andnd pu • brOrhecues,
meetings, sales, and other gatherings, but
they have "no time to read." They fre
quently spend whole ,days in goSsipping,
tippling, and tradingliorses, but they lose a
day in asking advice of 'their neighbors,
sometimes a day in picking up news, -- The
prices current, and the exchauges--ibuttliese
men never have" tiny tine to tenth" They
have time to hunt, to fish,, to fiddle,.to drink,
to do nothing," but no time to rembl'—
Such men generally have uneducated chil
dren, unimproved. farms and unhappy fire
sides. They have no energy, no spirit of
improvement, no love.of knowledge; they
live " unknowing and :unknown," and often
die unwept and uuregretted.
