CATARACT AT TERM.

There is rare union of beauty and
grandeur in the fall of Terni. Though
the quantity of water is much less than
the Rhine discharges at Schaf hansen,
| yet the scene is much more imposing,
from the greater height Of the prec
piee. Niagara alone more completely
absorbs the imagination. The Ameri-
can cataract has an overwhelming ma
jesty that belongs to its flood of waters,
and which at first Supplies the faculties
of every observer; but Terni has an at
tractive grandeur, which induces you
to advance deliberately to examine a
, wonder which nature and ant have uni
ted to produce.
The rapids in the American river, be-
fore youreach the edge OF the precirice,
combined with the distant :oar of the
falls, form a more sublime spectacle
than the full view of Schaf hansen.
while the prospect from the Table Rock
! is like glance into eternity. We are
obliged to call up the force of our minds
to keep us from recoiling with dread.
But at the Cascata del Marmore, as this
! italian waterfall is styled, the eye rests
upon the scene with pleasing astonish-
ment, in which there is more of delight
, than terror.
It's situated at few miles distance
from Terni. The country is beautifully
romantic. The road lies for the most
part through fields OF olive trees. At
Papania, YOU are obliged to leave the
carriage; and after descending and eros
sing the Nera, and traversing a garden,
and beautiful line oftress. you approach
the celebrated fall. When | saw it
the melting of the snow, and the late
rains, had swollen the river to nearly
Double its ordinary size. This outlet
for the Lake Velinus has been most
! happily chosen; for there are few situa-
tons where an artificial cataract could
be more than beautiful, but this is ex-
quisite. An ancient castle crowns the
summit the lofty mountain near you;
and numberIess rlls run down near the
main sheet of water. But ole of the
/ most beautiful objects is occasioned by
the quantity of foam, produced by the
/ fall, which ascends in clouds, and being
collected by projecting ridge, runs
down in innumerable little cascades, and
as you cannot at first divine the cause,
/; the rock seems bursting with the waters
it holds in its bosom. Besides its other
attributes, this fall has the best of all
/ charms association. 1t is in Italy, is a
work of the Romans,-these foamng
waters wash the walls of the Eternal
City
When the adnrer of natures won
ders visits Niagara, he travels through
distant forests, Just beginning to be the
residence of civilized men: and he re-
fleets upon the generations of aboriainal
inhabitants that vanished from these
woods during many centuries, as the foam
Of the cataract has risen daily to fall a
gain, and to be swept away. But they
have passed, and have left no memorials
the traveller is forced inward for topics
of meditation; the scene wants drapery
it is too much like the summit Of Chin
borazzo. ofunequalled holiness but free
zi"g cold.
On the contrary, the Fall Velino ba,

been approached in course from the
Vale of CltumBus, towards the banks
of the Tiber; the ruin Of Augusiues's
Bridge, at Narni, is to be the picture of
Tomorrow. Agrippa's Pantheon is soon
to be seen. We have not the feeling of
sadness that we are at toe end of an en-
joyment when we have beheld this won
der, a sentiment which forces itself up
on the traveller who stands between
Erie and Ontario. Such causes give a
richness and mellowness to the scene,
which cannot operate upon the transat-
lantic cataract.
Yet, with all this,if we could select
but one of the two wonders TO be seen,
it would not be easy to decide between
their respective claims. Men of the
sterner mould would choose the. object
of unmingled sublimity, and those of
miider sentiment, that which is the per-
lection of grandeur and beauty. 1t is
not unlike a comparison between Ho-
| mer and Virgil.
The Italian fall Of waters is indeed

MEN,
The impression which isproduced by
the sight of a great waterfall is unique:
unlike any ofour other feelings, it makes
the most giddy thoughtful, and offers
many points of comparison with human
life. The landmarks are permanent
as the fields we live in, the waters fleet
ing as our breath; the plunge that they
make into unknown depths, like our
descent into the grave; the rainbow
which sits upon the ably SIS, like our hope
of Immortality. There is the dread of
danger, and this curiosity of hope, and
the impressions of the irresistible impe-
tus by which we are borne forward, to
make US feel that we, too, are gliding on
ward, though sometimes as unconscious
as the bubble. to the gulfof eternity, in
to which the troubled waters of life dis
charge themselves. An immortal and
immutable condition awaits us, though
we sport with what seems TO be the con-
tingencies of exist ence. How often are
we reckless of the star that might guide,
and the chart that should direct us in our
voyage, while we are floating onward,
with accelerated velocity, to the last
leap of life. It's the highest crime man
can commit against reason and revela-
ton. if he venture to make the leap in
the dark.
