 Upon the southern coast ot Lake Stu perior, about fifty miles from the falls of St. Mary, are the immense spreeipi- tons cliffs, called by the yoyagers le Por-3 trait and the Pictured Rocks. This name has been given them in conse-. qneiace of the different appearances which they present to the traveller as 1ile passed her base IT his canoe. II re. quircs little aid from the imagination 10 discern in ihem ihc easteIlated tower and lofty dome, spires and pinnaeles, and every sublime, grotesaue or faptas- tic shape, which the genius of archlicc- Iurc ever invented. These cliffs are an. unbrolscn mass of rocks, rising 10 an elevation of 900 feet above inc level of the lake, and stretching along the coast except in the most profound calm; and
 the indians, before they make the at tempt, offer their accustomed obiations, I to propitiG.le the favor of their Niani- ltoss. The eye instinctively searches along this eternal rampant of single
 place of security; but the search IS in vain. With an impossible barrier of rocks on one side, and an interminable e 1panse of wateron the other, a sudden storm upon the lake would as inesita- |biy ensure destruction of the passenger in his frail canoe, as if he were on the brink of slle cataract of Niagara. The rock itselfis a sandstone, which is di- sentegrated by iilc continual action of the water with comparative facility. - [ There arc no broken masses upon which fiie eye can rest and find relief The flake is so deep, that these masses as ltbcy are torn from the precipice, are concealed beneath It's waters until they are reduced to sand. The action of the waves has undermined every project- 1 ing point, and there the immense preci- pices rest upon arches, and the foun-
 dalton is intersected with cayerns in ev- cry direction.
 When we passed this mighty fabric
 -of nature, the wind was s.llI and the Ilake was calm. But even the slightest motion of the waves, which in the most
 profound calm, agitate these interval lseas, swept through the deep casAfns with the noise of distant thunder, and l died away uponthe ear, as il rolled for l ward in the dark recesses inaccessible
 te hmm n observation. No sennd moro
 melancholy or more awful ever vibrat- led upon human nerves. 1t has left an Ijmpression which neither time nor dis I tance can ever eiface. Resting in a ] frail bark.canoe upon the limpid waters of the lake, we seemed almost suspend ed in air, so peiiucid is the element or which we aoated. In gazing upon the towering battlements which inpendee
 over us, we felt, and felt intensely, oul own insignifcancc. No situation cal
