Ely A STUDENT OF YALE.

In passing through the Mountains there IS no
nr;vate dwelling for % miles From the White
Mountain House Is miles bring US to tranconIa.
This is that cold place, where mercury freezes
:, no z,;,tar Here are extensive IRON works.
The ore is obtained in Lisbon, four miles distant
the ride thither is very pleasant, and the NINE
well worthy OF visit 1t is interesting TO trace
the veins of one as they wind through the granite
The LONG ditch. a chasm 80 feet deep Is now
nearly filled with water-the drift, a hoTlzon'a
arch enterino the hill about 100 feet Is fne
place for singing-everv note sounds iull-and Is
prolonged By the cavern through winch 1t passes
Six miles from the iron works is the trancona
Noo,ch. pass between Mounts La Fayette and
Jackson. On the peak of Mount Jackson, ,OUO
feet above the road is the remarkable Profile or
..OId Man of the Mountain" a wonderfully
correct delineation of the human face. Tins
probably is one of the greatest natural curosltles
which our country affords. OF solid rock Ii
stands unmoved, whether IN the tempest or the
storm. Its resemblance to the human features IS
not Pigment OF the imagination, for It stands
forth in bold relief. Beneath it is beautiful
sheet of water, the source Of the PemgewasSet-
which afterwards takes the name OF the McrTi-
mack. In the adjoining town Of Lincoln there
are curiositics worthy OF note The BASIN and
Pool arc interesting. But the Flume is very Wild
ness For about an eighth OF mile a branch
of the Pemigewosset pours through channel OF
solid rock. and is thrown into forms diversified
and beautiful But the channel itself is perfectly
awful 1t varies from four to ten feet IN width
with perpendicular sides OF ragged granite from
ten to fifty feet in length. This surpasses all the
mountain scenery in awful wlldncss! In one
part OF the course the surface OF the rock over
which the water flows is no. broken, but takes
different directions, over which the water gdes
as thin crystal Sheet shooting from one turn to
another of the rock in byilliancy and splendor.
The most direct way to Concord Is through
Plymouth and Sanbornton-yet. by turning aside
you can, without greatly lengthcnlng your Jour
ney, visit Centre Harbor-and by ascending Red
hill obtain fine view OF Lake NllnneplSlogee,
which studded with isles, is SAID to present one
of the most delightful views of water scenery.
To its beauties can bear no testimony as did
not visit it. Before you come TO the many pleas
ant villages which skirt the Merrmack, YOU
must pass many log hut and see frequent marks
Of poverty. Whichever way you will, there Is
much beauty and grandeur IN the roughness OF
nature. AS you approach Concord the beautiful
villages display much taste and refinement. Bos
cawen is neat, pleasant and delightful. But few
places of equal business display so much taste
and beauty as Concord. The State House is a
noble edifcc of granite. The State Prison and
Insane Hospital are fine buildings and well
adapted, each to its design. Entering the cars
we were borne along the banks of the river, which
abounds with scenery refreshing and lovely To
enjoy this journey one must have leisure and
spend much time 4 glimpse of mountain scenery
is worth but little But as we stand and gaze
upon its majesty, and explore It's nights and its
depths, we cannot but wonder and admire! lis
not strange that the wild Savage thought these
Handicapped nights the dwelling place OF 4
higher order of beings, and feared to attempt
their ascent. But enlightened as we are by the
"Word of TRUTH they are to US magnificent
display of Almighty power And in these won
dcrs of creation we can view the goodness and
benevolencc of God-Gor from them flow almost
all the rivers which water the length and breadth
Of New England They are reservoir of water
for the supply of this happy land-adminsterlng
also to our health, by waiting to us pure breezcs,
and driving from lis pestllential air.
