Some ycars ago—almost threo decades and a half— during a visit to this delightful place, I had the ploasure of meeting some gentlemen born to make their mark in the world, (and they have made it,) who were on a tour through the United States. One summer 200n it was that a carriage drove up in front of the Mountain House, from which four young men hastily atighted. Instead of rushing into the office to secure rooms, as is the custom of most American travellers, they moved off to the brink of the pre- cipice, and took a deliberate view of the spiendid soenery around them. They were dressed, as Evglisi travellers usua)!y are, for comfort not for show, and all wore shoes snd white stockings, not yet in fashion with american gepticmen. They were Gre looking men. After a few mizutes they simuitaneously took olf their caps, and gave Ubree loud ard bearty cheers, to the astonisoment of those who were lounging on the piazza. They proved to de no ot tha Mr. Stanley, now Premier of Kogland, and bis frieoés Labouchere, Wortley aud Deunistoa, all members of Parlement. With their party were an eminent lawyer end his wire, from Baltimore; and as the Englishmen wero | gay, friendiy and communicative, they soon had a circlo ubout them from the élite of the visiters. One of their subjects of general conversation, | remember, was aoout ‘comparative beauty of american and English women, lady claiming patm for ber own coun- try. “Ah,” replied Denniston, “I could show you one ip mice who is uneurpaseable!’” They were alzo noticed for thelr ixquiries about the occupations, ¢rers and cultivation of the American wo- mer, and one of them, admirirg some elegant lace worn by a indy present, asked her if she worked it horsalf. Op the way down to thesteamboat th¢y were very amus jog, ard to be, and as wo had hurried cf without fast, they made an extempore meal | in tbe coach on some pies which they miey at atavernon the wayside.
