Miss Phelps, in ‘Gates Ayar,”” benevolently informs an ignorant world that there will be pianos in that happy place; pnt pertaps all the'preiminary fugering will be done in this world apd only the perfect results will be heard there. Let us hope a I have been moved to ask this question by the sounds that have ponetrated the space and the various intervening substances be- tween the parlor and my room for the lasthour. 1 have come to the conclusion that nowhere except in the hoped-for region indicated above can we ever expect to escape from that varisty of the genus young lady who wishes to improve her music. 50 let us be pauent; ‘for it Is better to bear the ills we have than to fy,” &c. After two days of sunshine we are again lost in the fog. The railing of the piazza bounds our view. Sky, mountain, vafley and plain are nowhere, Memory, with the “backward glance” we have all heard so much of, says there is scenery, though tt 1s hidden for a time; and Hope, with that everlast ing forefinger of hers, points to a brighter day when the foggy veil shall be drawn away from our en- chanting mountains. But really we don't care much about the weather. This is such a delightfully éasy- going place that nothing short of annihilation could disturb our equanimity; and now that I stop to think (a thing very dangerous for writers to do) we shoulda’t know anything about that, and 60 you my consider us safe from all mortal cares. There is neither gong nor bell allowed here. In these celestial regions we get up when tis bed becomes contemptible from too long famillarity; we eat when We are hungry; we sleep when we can no longer keep our eyes open. The stream of time flows on in harmonious tranquility, and ia never dammed up by “regulations,” for which we offer dhethank & to the powers that be at Overlook. I always de- tested regularity, and lol here it Is not. Breakfast runs deliciously into dinner; and dinner barely gets outofthe way oftea. Alltimes of day we straggle Mtoe the broad, airy dining room, and all times of day the festoons and bouquets of colored walters that so Picturesquely adorn the white walls somehow undo themselves and fly to our relief. It is.all very well for you down in the world to have your time cut short off by some horrid sharp rule; up here we are as indefinite as our beloved fog, as {ree as our fresh, suany breezes. What-do wodo all day? Whatdo we do, indeed? But, of course, you could'nt be expected to know from your level. So I will be good and tell you that wa enjoy our- selves, We pfomenade. Oh, don’t we!

Five min- ote ago the world was made of must; now, although the clouds are swooping by us, far, far below \lfes the valley of the Hudson, soft and warm in the sun- shine, In the west'R mountain sy 3 looks exactly like @ smoking voicano, the blackness 1s 80 concen- trated justabove it, Upand down the green mon+ sters that are crouched at our right and leit run tho str chased by the golden light; in the dis- tance, where the mountains crowd each otter, the are veiled im tenderest blue, Here the sky 1s black, there it {sa delicate gray, and yonder are Tits, showing fatbomless depths of light.

The wind Semhous; the white clouds are torn in a hundred places; the darkness 1s conquered, and everywhere “blue and green are glad together.” In fve miintes more we may be tified again, for atght that anybody can say to tne contrary.
