THE CATSKILLS.

You would scarcely think, arrived at the
Catskill landing, on the Hudson. just before
you enter the coach which CONVEYS you to
the Mountain, that any extraordinary pros
pect was about TO open upon your vision.
True, as when on the water, the great

long level country between it and you; and
it is too early in the day to drink in the
grandeur Of the scene. You are content
with watching the complex operations Of that

little whether they stood or fell; turn OF
mind which induces them to move their
forward legs more glibly than those in the
opposite quarter, quickening the former
from pride, and contracting the latter from
motives of decency. This is said to be
their philosophy, and they act upon it with
a religious devotion, worthy q better

Pollock "A work entitled "La vie mil.

been published in Paris, which is said to
possess much merit as work Of humour

furnish some extracts, from among which
we are tempted TO translate the following !:
Sour troops were en- piroaac one beau
