Sometimes the road ran between walls of rook which almost abut oat the sky; over these huge frozen water falls, that spring down in summer with a sin gle leap—now one huge icicle flitted like la Doric coking, The streams that feed them frost bound in their rooky beds; we saw no areliving water neap% the torrent which rush: ea sparkling asd foaming beside the track, its, clear waves looking bright and black be tween the snow covered haulm. Sometimes the road crossed a bridge where We hang io endleeked down into the heart of the mountain rent with gorges and chasms, a mere chaos of crags and 'abysses, and the snow lying over aU. At long intervals we saw perched on a lei e overhead a village in its solitary,squalor, a mere huddle of wiser. able cottages, with a little church; is anoth er instaet we were looking down upon its spire.

Raub, a rock in eight; we were crossing:a plain sheeted in White.. Close above It were, the highest peaks of the mountain, and stoop big-dole over aims the dark blue mid win ter night sky and its great stars. The tuff vereal snow around .us lies there for half the year; the snow above us is the snow' that never melts. The moonlight shed tr silvery sheen over the whole; there was only the, snow, the mountain top, the sky and the lights of heaven. As we sped silently aleog we passed a large building in this frozen wil derness; it were the Hospice, half of it still 'iieetipied by the good monks, and half used aii-barraeks,--Iteatood-rip—dark—vgainst—the snow, for it was nine e'elock and every light was . oat. It was sent ont of sight and noth ing remained but the railroad traok - and the telegraph wires-to-reminduis-of tuan's tense tied of his constant warfare with the tremendous powers of nature.

We now began to pass through the snow sheds which enclosed the road for miles together, and answer the. purpose of tunnels for depriving Ace of sight and hearing, and driving-in all the steam, Batlike and foul air. There is chain of these from the summit of the as down the southern side, and as we rusk -ed serpontwise down and through the dark the effect was bewildering. One felt as if olio had a eorkecrew in one's brain; one felt as if one were drunk; one felt as if ene had taken opium, one felt as it one were spinning head foremost Town the circles of space, one grew giddy, sleepy, stunned unconscious. When horizontal motion and a breath of fresh air brought back the senses we were down in the pine woods. By and bl j we came to the - deciduous forests and then we raft into the fog again. At length there was - a ballot great, dark arch, some feeble lights and a amell.ot thaw. We were asked for our tickets; we had taken them in the morning at a place called by its inhabitance Geof; it was now spoken of to us as Ginevra. We were invited to descend and oneemore open our trunks. One of the ladies, a little numb and dazed perhaps by the journey, was rath er slow to comply La maudine qui ue yens pas obeirl ('The she maudlin woo won't do as she's told') growled one official to another. The room where we underwent this process bad been ealled Zen when we stopped in the morning; at noon it wai — Douane; now it was La Dogana— The place was Sum We-were at the foot of the, peas; it was Italy, and everything was io a warm slop. Hunting the Buffalo. At present hunting buffalo for market has become a regular trade, and all along the route of the Railroad the business is carried on. A party generally consists of font per sons, at the outside six, with one head him ter, who employs the men and who always has a wagon with its team of 'rough Indian ponies. The hunters are of course, admira ble shots, and very rarely if ever is more than one shot used. Said our informant, 'One shut behind the shoulder almost alwaya brings them down: so many shots so many buffaloes.' They would laugh at nay one who would shoot twice. Their gnus, their only extrav agance, are as perfect as can be, always breech•loadors, in fact the old heavy mimic loaders is becoming obsolete. The heard is neared in such a way that the wind shall come from the animals. to the party. They can be approaebed readily Within a wile with the team. The men then commence, a still hunt. Hunting them on horseback is fun, but it is not successful. It requires great ekill and patience to stalk them. People who have never been on the plains have a false idea of what prairie grass is. In Illinois the grass is as high as your middle, but on the true prarie, where the buffalo feeds, the grass be lives off from is hardly two Inches high. It is not very green, save in early Spripg— mostly it is of a russet brown, but always tender. Ail kinds of tame stock eat it, and improve en it wonderfully. Snow does not hurt it; the hunters even think the litiffalo fattens most when the grass has been cover ed by snow. The herd is invariably guarded .by some two or three old bulls, who are very watehfil. They will feed awhile, then stop, coif the air, look anxiously around, and, if seeing nothing to exaite them,. will recom mence Weir feeding. The cows and calves are always in the middle of the flock. The moo, dragging. thetnielvekee the ground, ap proach to within very long range; and, se• boating the indicated, one shot always does the business. To shoot at the head of a bull is to waste ammunition; be dote not mind ft any more than he would a fly. tot might ebeot all the lead in Galena there, and be would never notice it. If care is taken, you may kill a large number iti the same beard, providiog you leave the calves alone, or do not shoot a sow , with a Gall; this goner ally makes them uneasy, sad they may scam per off: It is no uncommon thing for goad set of men to kill and „briny iii a load of twelve hindquarter', to average 225 pounds each, in a day. The hunters are a brave, wild set, true frontiersmen, making their Money - easily, and spending it freely. Often the pay of a month will begambled away is half a* bones time. Cards and whiskey ate their only awintesmee,t. Their pay is about $5O a month sod found. They have atrium° titles ‘W japan.

Lost Arts In regard to colors we - are far behind the aceients. None of .the colors in Egyptian paintings of thousands of yeirs ago are in the - least faded, except the green. The Ty- rian purple of the entombectoity of Pompei i ie 'as fresh today as it was three thousand years ago. Seine of the mum, painted . eges before the Christian era, broken up and mix ed, reverted to its original lustre. And yet we pity the ignoranso of the dark-skin • ned children of the ancient Egypt. The color upon the walls of Nero's testa vault tire as fresh an if painted yesterday. So is the cheek of the Egyptian prince who was contemporaneous with Solomon, and Cleo patra, at whose feet Crecer laid the riches of his empire. And in regard to motets The edges of the statues and obelisks' of Egypt, and of the ancient walls of Rome are as sharp as if but hewnyesterday. And the stones still I remain so closely fitted together that t heir weams, lithwitkinuttar, cannot be penetra ted with the edge of a peeknife,—An-d -their surfaces are exceedingly hard, so hard that when French artists- engraved-two-lines upon the obelisk brought from Egypt, they destroyed„._ in the tedious task, many of the best tools which can be manufactured.— And yet these ancient moonments are traced all over with ineeriptions placed upon them in olden times. This, with other facts of a striking character, prove that they were far more skillful in metals than we are.— Quite recently it is recorded that when an American venni was on -the shore's of Airiea a son of that benighted region made from an iron hoop a knife superior to any on board the vessel, and another made a sword of Da masons exielleoce from a piece of iron. rietion is very old; Scott had his eons-- torpors two thousand parrs ago. A story is , told of a warrior who had no time to wait for the proper forging of his weapon, but seized it red hot, and found to his purpose that-the-coo-l-air-had-tem-pered-his—irotr-into on excellent steel weapon. The tempering" of steel; therefore, which was new. to us a century since, was (pith old over two thou sand years ago. Ventilation is deemed a very modern art.

A Yankee from the green Mountains. vie ited the city of London. While passing through eke of tVe thoroughfares, his atten- lion was arrested by some speeimente of writing paper, exposed for sale in a shop window. Seeing the proprietor of the eetab liehment etaaciing at the door, the Yankee civilly inquired what he did with them 'nice bits of paper.' 'We keep them to tie ap gape seed in' said the eoekeey, snappishly. 'Oh, ye du— du ye?' said Jonathan. Passing down the street a few steps, our indignant Yankee eaw another merchant. 'I say, Mister, ,an you tell me what that feller does for a livin' what keeps them ere nice bits of paper at the winder. ' 'Yes, sir. lie is a small dealer in paper and a sort of scribe. He writes letters for persons.' • ' 'I reckon it is a very small dealer and that ho is a pharisee as well as scribe. Do you think he will write a letter for we if I pay him for it?'
