‘Tuar travel in romantic regions tnspires men and makes them ambitious to mount Pegasus has Lecn Ulustrated again by Horace C. Du Val, who sent these lines to a friend in New York, after he had completed # tour by carriage through the Bidniz Vas: We drove 10 luterlaken tn landau from Lucerne ; ‘There was much to tnterest us, there was scenery ‘to burn. * From the shadow of Pilatus, through the gorgeous Brinig Pass, Hamlets, rocks and preciptces, lakes all shimmering like glass ; Far below us in the valleys peasants raking o'er the hay, Looking like so many midgets tn a toy land far away ; Here and there were ittie glimpses of some wond'rous snow-capp'd range, Gilstentog, shining iu the unlight, making pictures weird and strange ; Underneath the mountaln torrents, tumbling from thelr alivery beds, Leaping, laughing, white and foaming velis of Nature when she weds ; Earth and sky, her rocks and glaciers, hills of snow and verdure clad, Lakes and swiftly rushing streamlets, grand and dalty, gay and sad | Suddenly the thunder rattles, lightuings play across the aky, Gusts of wind go tearing past us, whitecaps o'er the waters fy. Quick the carrtage snug ts hooded, downward comes the pelting rain; All prepared, we laugh in proving Nature's trick to scare us vain, || Jealously she wraps her mountains In a feecy hood of gray, Mista and sunshine intermingling ‘round the towering summits play. Here a grim old mountain sentry shakes tts nightcap from Its head, Just to show that while on daty he Is not asleep or dead ; Or a wand ring sunbeam dailies with a graceful suowcapped belle, Flirting til the rosy Liushes mantic swift beneath tts spell, ‘This aud more we saw while driving in our landau from Lucerne, On the road so full of interest, and with scenery “to barn.” WN.
