PYRAMID OF CHEOPS.—This monument of

brethren must have seen the sun set behind it every daY,to

considered it impious to transgress, stand here on the suntll3-d,

PLEASURES OF EASTERN TRAVEL.—There
none of that languor and feverishness that so generally re;s,-i.
from travelling on wheels. The very hardships bring ett•I;01
ments with them, in invigorated health, braced nervesce,
elevated spirits. You are in immediate contact with as":.cst
every circumstance of scenery and climate becomes of inte,„'cal
and value, and the minutest incident of country, or of 1
e.
habits, cannot escape observation. A burning sun may 661,0"
;0
times exhaust, or a summer storm may drench you ; but -ed
can be more exhilirating than the sight of the length°,
troop of variegated and gay costumes dashing at full col
along, to the crack of the Tartar whip, and the wild whtleir
of the surrigee? what more picturesque than to watch tine
reckless career over upland or dale, or along the waving eio%
of the landscape,—bursting away on a dewy morn, 0,,r ,r 2
" home" on a rosy eve ? Urquhart's Travels in the -Dast. the
AMERICAN LAKES.--The alarming rise of our
waters in the great lakes continues, and is now nearit sto

which had front time immemorial discharged itself into drift,

wood, stumps, &c., and its entire volume turned intteiges
Superior. Such an event might produce vast eu oers
throughout whole regions of North America. If the tril

years of age, son of Mr. Kay, of Spring Hill, near R"ert;
whilst playing in the yard adjoining his father's house, vi was
