Farowolls arobiard to say, nd wo watched tho effeets of light and shado mutho top of “Gisnt of tho Valler,"” until Apollo hid his jeweled hoad behind tho hills, nd wo, like Olytio, wore left to wait 8 reap- poarance. In tho morning, long boforo ko vhowed his beaming countenance, wo wers ready tor tho last breakfast among the Adirondncks. It was oaten lko pilgrims, staves in hand; and, 3t 7 &, m., wo had lefb our agrecablo host and tostese, Maj. 1Tall and wifo, and woro on OUR WAY TO LAKE CHAMPLAIN, It was dsrk and loworing ; our imaginationa sonrad to tho clonds, and they would have picte nred our feolings had thoy chanced to weep at our departure. Buch postical notions, however, woro brought low when we dashed through the fut mud-pool. As wo nscended & slight om- inonce, we bnd o view of tho valley once more. The sun shot one ray through his dark mantlo, lighting tho valloy, aud the last glimpse of our mountain-home was ono of light aud glo- ry. And—aud—oli desri—uow wo aro go- ing to town. Why must we bo prac- tical, and go soon #escond from Drosm-Land and Mount Glory to the convortialitics of ofty- lifo? Tho ides of such o descent quite disturbiod my equanimity. _Wo passed through & wooded valley and over littlo brooks, and, aftor riding 16 miles, reached Llizabothtown. This is tho county-seat, and a tiriviog plsco (fudgo Hala bus » pretiy rosl- donco hero). 1tia quiten scat of justico; iu fuct, it takes cight or toro’ luwyors to_ satisfy tho domauds. As wo cromsed Boynot, tho town looked vary home-like, with its whifo cottagos and churchi-spires, After leaving this place, it grow colder aud coldor. Our faces wero & curios- ily; overy veinstood out in bold roliof ; onr lips wore ‘aroyal purple; and tho wind csneed every hair on our hieads to tremblo with extremo diepust, Dofore wo ronched Westport, we pass- od the Whitelall & Plattsburgy Railroad, which is well under way, and willbo finished by Nov. 1, 1875, ‘Ihen thore will bo & dircol routo from Now York City to this part of tha Adirondacks, Drivivg through Westport, wo reached tho whart in o fossilized atato.

Interesting, vory! We drove to tho hotol, and calmed our troubled spirits with tho pleagunt influences of hoat. Afterdinner wo were making owsolves as comfortable ns possi- Dblo, when tho stago drove up, and the attist, il Krugeman Vau Eltony and wife, alighted and en- tored tho parlor. As oux Now York friond twas acquainted with thom, wo soon formed a ploas- ont party, Tho afterncon woroe pleasautly away; bat, aftor tea, ideas scemed to fail and conversn~ tion lagged. At D p. m. wo all assumed the onsf- eat positions possiblo for rest. Aly rosting-place for tho next two hours was a gofa, mndo, I should think, of iron, having no spring whatever, Atll P m. wo wero informed that it was TIME FOR THE DOAT, and this annonucemont crented o little breeze of excitoment, which wes refreshing. The land~ lord, with tho mail-bag over his shoulder, aud lontern in haud, procoeded to escort us to the wharf, 1t was about ten minutes’ walk down hill. I headed the procession, next tothe guido, and several times camo very near embracing the mail-bag ; it was much like *‘blind loading tho blivd,” Wo reached the waiting-room, found our trunks, and, with ‘“‘traps " in our hands, waited for ‘*All abonrd!™—but eoon learncd that the bost was nowhero to bo seen, and so concluded to take things easy. Tho next hour Ispentin studying tho ceiling, until I knew ovory crack in it. This was much moro iutor- esting than studying tho faces of the peoplo as- sombled there ; for they were vacant, and thoir mouths were open for a yawn. I shall nover forget that thero is » Weed Sowing Machine, according to the placard posted up opposite mo, or that thero 18 o United Btates and Canadn map, with & Grand Trunk Railroad running through it. (Tho latter fact we Lave had cause to rograt.) At fagt the Vormont “louded on our cosst,” ‘We walled tho plauk, and wera on board. While checking our trunks, a bystander remarked, “Tho seagon is over on Laka Gieorgo; no boats runniog.” Now, wo had bought tickots of tho Graud Trunk Railroad for the round trip, good until Nov. 1, vin Fort Ticouderaga, day-bont through Lake Georpo to Caldwell, ¥e.

Tho ofilcluts on board the boat were all wa esuld ask in politeness, and partly oxchanged tickots, through by rail to tho faot of Luke George, Wo passed the night ina very wrathy stato of midd; sleep failed to shod & quicting _influonce, and we felt a4 amiable to- ward tho Company a8 Samitel Champlain probe- bly did toward the I'ive Nations when ho entered this lakeon his way to exterminate them.

We did not seo_much of Whitehall ; it” is situated mostly under the hills, though soma clegant residences nre being orected on tho bluffs. On onr routo we could sco tha canal- boats wiuding their weary way; mountain. ranges in tho bluo distance ; sorrated bhills snd angular rocks, gradusliy softening into rolling proirie-laudy, rich in farms,—until, passing Fort Ann, Swith’s Busin, and other places with whero Coopexs horolnos we=+ concenlod.

History informs na that, fn 1755, 5,000 men, under Bir Willinm Johnson and Gon.

Peculiar peoplo recoive peculiar treatmont, and the Oberlin colo- nlsta wers no oxception to thia law of invective. Every oninnation from this singular community was paseed from ono to another, until it gained hugo proportions, and good peoplo at the Bast woro shocked at the practicos and doctrines of thia Grahamite sooicty. From an articlo prepared by Presidont Fair- cbild, I quoto thego words with refcronco to the poculiar dootrino of the poople: ‘Tho Oberlin Lioreay—a stiadowy form which has not yot faded {rom the imagluntions of men—waa & heres ibat rejofced in tho Gus, lel;' in the * graco of Godl which givoth salvation ;” in *the crosa of our Lord Josus Ohrist,” by which Paul was erucified to the world sud tho world to him$ and in thoso “ excoeding great and precious_promises, by which wearo made partalers of the Dlvine natu having cscaped tho corruption which is {n tho world through lust,” Bome, perhaps, in the fresh oy of a Pentacotcal bapilem, Aoemad to unsympathizing obscrvers to bo full of new wine ; yet, if you lstenod well, you would hear thom ppeak only the * wondorful work of God.” Some may have shoutod thoir Eurcka moro loudly than was or callod thelr exporience by & pomo that was illchosen, or proposed a thicory for its oxplanation which conld not bo austain- ed; yot it was o reproach to {ho Ohristianity of tho land 'that it should bo thought o hercsy lo proclaim “ the Goapel of Ohrist the power of Gud unto galva= tion to every one that belleves ;¥ and that a theory of sanctification which planted Itaclf upon God's revealed word should hava been oceaslon for 80 persistont sus- pleion and distrnst, % The impression mado on the mass of tho peo- ple by distortion of doctrino, and oxaggorated statement of Lollef and practico, was ANYTIING BUT COMPLIMENTARE to the sturdy reformors who signed the Oborlin Covouant, Even'to this doy, Deacon Authaine relates to tho rising genoration in Bunkhaze, near tho head-watora of the Moluncus, *tuo c-normities of thom Oberlinera.” | Tho Oberlin Covenant, though it was essen- tinlly laid aside after a fow yoars, will alwaysre- nin o document of considerablo intorost.

It ia’ supposed that this rumor was the immodiate hacitomont to the pirnoy which followod. If thi bo true, tho thioves wero sadly disappointedin the smount of tho spoils. Mo this a8 it may, it is cortain that about twouty-five ruffians took passsge on tuo sleamer with tho promeditated dosign of cap- turing and rifling her, and that thoy succoedod in their attompt, after inurdaring and wonnding sevoral of tho passongers.

Woall know that tho motion of a oo in ]iuuiug his hand in this pocket is tho same o4 that made in drawiug a pistol, which is ususlly worn in the same position. The other day & man shot another on board of & vassel here, Tho onc who shot says the otler mado & motion as if to draw u pistol. This may be 8o, and yet the latter be unarmed, and ho might only have been going to take a chaw of tobacco. The motiou, however, will alwayn cauge apprebension in the miunda of thoso who carry woapons, especially whon porsons are angry. \Wa recollect years ago hoaring ihe late Edward Marsball, in Bumming up & murdor cose 1o » jury, when Lo took occasion to refer to this snmo suggostion. He said that it might not mean auything for s man in Massaohusetts, when ho had an altercation, to put his hands under Lis coat-tail, but that in Bouth Carolina it might meoan a good deal. JIn this community, whors woapons hiavo atwayd boon #o generally carried, this motion by an sngry man is tull of dauger, It there is no pooket on the hip, this mation will not be made by an unarmed man, and more than ono life thus saved, Wo go for abolishing the pockot en the hip. —_—— A Wnslhoe Grecting. .
