The rude savage when he came out from the
depths Of the forest, looked upon the Ohio, anu
gave it the name which signifies NE oeaafV"
rioeT; the polished Frenchman came from among
the reGnements of Pans, and gazing upon inc
stream with equal admiration, gave II name
expressing the same idea-La Belle RipieTe.-
The two extremes Of society united IN adinlflig
its beauty, and VIC believe there Is not one DC
tween these two extremes who will refuse to agree
with them in their Judgment II winds among
its beautiful hills, as if, like the stream IN the
island of Calypso, it were unwilling to leave
the glorious regions through which II passes.
At this season Of the year, the scenery OF the
Ohio is particularly beautiful. Theleaves, when
about TO depart, have assumed the most beauii-
full colors; as the sun surrounds himself WIN
the most brilliant lues at his setting As We
stood.upon the deck Of the steamboat, the beau
iiful hills seemed TO be under the influence OF
enchantment. Longiollow represents the trees
in Indian Summer as clothed in "robes Of russell
and scarlet, and yellow" but this docs not do
Justice 10 the gorgeous variety Of colors IN our
western forests. As we looked upon the foliage,
il seemed as if not one beautiful color were abb
sent. Above the water were the hills clothed
with the brightest OF hues, and below, were the
colors soitened in tone. The spint OF beauty
seemed to have concentrated itself in every spot
we passed = 1t was as # our atmosphere had
been displaced by some OF the air in which an
gels Ievel. As the sun disappeared, we looked
| back at the waves our boat left behind. On one
side of each wave, the mild tints Of the sky were
| reflected, and the other shone like FURNISHED
steel The poet could scarcely imagine any
| thing more glorious around the throne of the
Fairy Queen. Our feelings were so punhed by
the LONELINESS around US, that TO harbor the
thought Of crime seemed TO us impossible.
| cit was like an eve in snless world"
After the sun had ceased TO look upon us with
his "eye Of love, through the golden vapors
around him." the moon began TO rise from her
bed of glory in the East. The lower part of her
disk was deep red, while the upper portion as 1t
emerged from the almost invisible mist, assumed
a brighter appearance. Between us and the
moon was a long path of splendor. This, by de-
grees contracted and seemed to be laboriDg to
form another moon. We seemed to be witness
ing the condensation of nebulous matter into a
solid mass. The work of creation was going on
before our eyes. The luminous matter would
contract till if had almost fonned moon; then
the particles would fly of from each other with
the caprclousness Of little faiIies, or like lovers
coquetting with each other on the eve of mar
mage Al last, the particles were permanently
united, and we saw another moon.
There seems 10 be no hope that Cincinnati
will ever be FINISHED" Several Of the finest
streets are filled up with pile, Of bricks and otheI
building materials. The great hotel has made
considerable progress. The time is not very dis.
Itant when almost the whole of the space now
occupied by this city will be filled with business
houses, and the dwelling houses will be crowded
out to the hills. But no respectable house Will
be sorry for the change. The hills around Gin
cinnati were made for people to live on. II Is
strange that larger number Of the Cincinnati
ans have not discovered this. From some Of
these hills are OF the finest views IN all the
West. How any one that has the power of 10
comotlon can stay in the city, when little mus
cular exertion would take him to scenes so beau
tiful, is inconceivable.
Amidst all the excitement produced by the
late election, and the anxiety to Learn the result
Madame Ablamowicz has given a concert
which was well attended. She is appreciated
here. We did not reach the city in time forth,
public concert, but we have had the pleasure o
hearing her sing at a private party. To on
, taste, she is far superior to Madame Bishop. Sh'
has a soul which gushes forth in her songs. Yol
are not called upon TO admire, SO much as Il
feel Her songs seem to gush from her heart,
GAS drops from the clouds of summer,
| Or tears irom the eye-lds start"
Those nch deep tones which Madame BishoI
could never reach, sink TO the depths of you
) heart In addition, Madame Ablamowiscz is
lady-a dutiful wife and mother, respected b,
all who have had the pleasure of becoming &C
quanted with her. We hope she may be indu
ced TO visit Louisville. NIB.
