the task Of learning the name and history OF each
broken wall or dapidaed tower that presented itself
10 my view Every bend Of the river brings into
view new heap Of ruins, differing in appearance
from those which preceded it, and at points the
attention is divided among four five, which look
gloomily down from the craggy heights which rise on
every hand Thus, the interest is kept constantly on
the stretch and the mind is not suffered TO rest for
moment from the beginning to the end Of the striking
and varied panorama
The castles of the Rhine have been deserted and
defenceless for many centuries, and most OF them
bear rude marks Of the fierce attacks which drove
their possessors from them. Some so completely
in ruins that is impossible to make out their origin
al FORM and sometimes difficult to distinguish their
remains from the surrounding heaps of rock. Others
still vast and imposing when their lords quar-
relied fought and robbed, in all their ancient and
wild independence. Occasionally, tall and slender
tower perched upon the highest point of projecting
crag, forms an object Of striking beauty. ! will vary
my own dull narrative with stanza or two from By
son the banks of the majestic Rhine
There Harold gazes on a work divine,
A blending of all beauties: streams and dells,
Fruit, foliage crag wood, cornfed, mountain, vine,
And chieHess castles breathing stern farewells,
From grey but leafy walls, where ruin greeny
dwells
And there they stand as stands lofty mind
Worn, but unstoopng to the bascr crowd,
All tenantless, save to the cranying wind,
Or holding dark communion with the cloud.
There was day when they were young and proud,
Banners on high, and battles passed below.
But they who fought in bloody shroud,
And those which waved arashroudess dust now,
And the bleak battlements shall bear future blow.
Beneath those battements within those walls
Power dwelt amidst her passions; in proud state,
Each robber chief upheld his arm'd halls,
Doing his evil will, nor less elate,
Than mighter heroes of longer date"

After flowing westward for some distance, the
Rhine makes sudden turn at Bngen, and resumes
its norhward course. At this point it enters gorge
or chasm bounded on either hand by lofty and pre-
cipous heights through which it would seem (f ge-
ologiss will permit the expression) to have broken
passage for itself The stream is narrowed down to
two-thrds of its former width in its passage through
this defle, and its current acquires proportional in.
crease of velocity. A river flowing between dou-
BILE range of hills and rocky cliffs, often a thousand
feet in height, could not be otherwise than grand
but it is not to these natural elements that the Rhine
owes its peculiar grandeur. Its scenery, as nature
left it, would be less grand than that of the Hudson.
But with ruined castle upon each rocky promonto-
ny, and decayed tower, with crumbling walls, at
almost every turn Of the river, the scenery of the
Rhine acquires new and douby interesting charac-
ter. To us Americans, who are strangers to antIqu-
ty, and know not the beauty Of ruin, it is difficult to
form idea Of the picturesque effect of those long
deserted and halfruned fortresses which crown the
rocky cliffs of the Rhine, seeming as il they formed
part of the unchanging base on which they stand
The impression which the sight Of them produced
upon my mind was hardly less vivid than that pro-
duced by the first view of the snowy Alps. These
picturesque ruins begin to appear at the very COM
mencement Of the rocky passage, which the Rhine
enters at Bingen and from that point nearly to Cob
entz, they follow each other in such rapid success.
