ITALY.

We have been politely favoured with the follow
ing extract Of letter from gentleman travelling
in Europe, to his friends in this city dated
"PARIS, July Is, 1928.
con the 18th. ofths month, my friend w and
self reached this city, on our return from Italy.
We have reason for gratitude to the Father OF
Mercies for our preservation.
Our Journey was extremely pleasant and instruc-
tive The Alpine scenery is bold and eleyatedbeyond
what had conceived. Nothing have ever read
CON muncates correct idea Of the scene OF horror
which the eternal SHOWS, the awful avalanche, and
the tremendous glacier, inspire. The passage over
the Alps is good.-The road cut by Napoleon is
worthy that astonishing man. 1t is the same by
which Hannibal entered Italy, but is now no longer
beset wth precpces and dangers, 1t has been SAID
that now there are Alps: certainly they present
no obstruction to the traveller.
Perhaps no spot on the face Of the earth is more
interesting TO man Of education than Italy. 1t re
Gals wildly to the mind the ideas which the school
boy forms OF the dignity Of the Roman Nation, the
splendor Of he senate house, and the magnihcence
Of the capitol. Every spot, not only in Rome, but
throughout Italy, is consecraied by some classic
recollection 1t is not only the palaces, the tenn
pies, the trumphaI arches. and the aqueducts tha
interest hut when, as al Herculaneum and Penn
pe you descend into their houses visit their baths
shops chambe,s, and kitchens, you feel as if yor
were admitted INTO their families, and were instruct
ed in i cir manners. ! can truly say the satleiac
ton derived from this Journe, tar surpasses VIVA
| had anticipated. The remembrance Of having
visited the tombs Of Scipio and ot Virgil OF having
drunk of the fountain OF Egeria, and q! having de
Seconded into the entombed city, Herr ulaneum,
shall always cherish with pleasure.
| Most Of The monuments OF ancient grandeur u
Il Rome az e in ruinous state. Only the Pantheon
and the two columns, with some trumphal arches
approach near to integrity Yet still, how interest
! ing are these ruins The Forum and rs environ
: a a rio field. Here usually spent my mornings
With the Capitol behind you, and the Tarpeian roc
on your right, you look down the Via Sacrs
, through isolated pillars and broken coonades, un
. til the huge mass of the Coliseum, the Amphilhea
tiv OF Vcspasian shuts the scene.
) Italy, on { the mistress Of the world, now en-
shaved and degraded teaches US useful lesson
: When an American looks on the debased inhaoiant
of this delicious cline, and them ground into th
dust by their oppressive governments, bowling un
