THE ALPINE HORN.

The Alpine Horn is an instrument
constructed with the bark OF the cherry
tree, and which. like speaking trum-
pet, is used to convey sounds to great
distance. When the last rays Of the
sun silds the submits of the A Pc, the
shepherd, who dwells highest on those
mountains. takes his horn and calls a.
loud Praised be the Lord' As soon
ss he ia heard. the neighboring shep-
herds leave their huts and repeat those
words. The soands last many mi-
NOTES, for every echo of the moantain
and grotto of the rocks repeat the name
of God. How solemn the scene!-Im.
agination cannot picture itself any thing
more sublime; the profound silence
that succeeds, the sigh of those stupen-
duous mountains. upon which the vault
of heaven seems to rest; every thing ex.
cites the mind to enthusiasm.
Inthe meanwhile, the shepherds bend
their knees and pray in the open air,
and soon after retire to their huts to en-.
