THE ALPS.

My first view of the Alps was at Berne,
which city occurs next in the path of my mar
ratlve. | had taken a walk toward evening to
the ''Engischo Promenade" as it is called,
mile OF two from the city. Thence a fine
view of the city is obtained, with its tower
lag cathedral steeple, and the amuegris col
bard-Aar winding around it, as almost TO iso-
late it completely from the main land had
seated myself, taken a cup of coffee, and
bread and honey, was observing the people
and the scenery. and occasionally casting my
ewes in the direction of some white clouds,
which seemed to hang heavily upon the east
ern horizon. The thought occurred to me if
those clouds were but mountains, how mag
niicent they would be; they would be beyond
all conception and description; they would
satisfy the most intense yearnings of the i'm
agination; they would fill forever that great
desire of the mind to feel, il only once, AN
i'm preston of the purely sublime. | had list
ened to the music for half an hour, saunter-
ing around under the trees, and then strayed
along the promenade, little further ON, away
from the crowd; but my eve continued from
time to time, to fasten itself involuntarily in
the direction of those white clouds. They
were the most Interchangeable clouds had ever
seen; and the impression gradually grew up
on me, that there was something unnaturally
hard and angular in their outline. Can these
be m0untainsl / confess this thought, as it
first darted into my mind, occasioned kind
of trembling and sinking through my whole
frame. Is it possible that these clouds in
heaven, so white, so ETHEREAL, so high above
other clouds, that these are mountains!
Two peasants were coming along at the
time, their coats and scythes under their arms,
| walked up to them and said:
| '-Will you tell me if those clouds there are
really clouds or mountains 20 they locked at
me for an instant with some establishment,
either at the energy Of the action, or the sin
gularity Of the question, and then, with bow
and a scrape answered:
"Mountains, sir, at your service"
And there were, indeed the Alps, the high
Alps, like the imperisheble pillars Of Gods
throne piercing into Heaven, incrusted with
pure marble of snow, and family tinged
with ruby light as if it were the smile of
the Almighty. | had seen enough. ] felt ST

TROUBLE AMONG THE SOUTHERN
METHODISTS.

The troubles of the Methodist church,
which have caused division of that body,
have appeared in the Cherokee country. The
Church north sent among the Indians min
lister to represent the cause Of freedom, and
the consequence has been riot, and one
which viii tend materially to endanger the
religious advancement of that people. The
Cherokee Advocate, Of the Goth ult., speaking
Of some Of the late scenes, says: mo re-
ligious meetings can be held at night without
a riot Mr.. Gurley attempted 1t at private
house, where, it was supposed, he intended
to lecture his disciples secretly upon matters
which he deemed prudent not to breach IN the
public congregation. The house was sur
rounded by the mob, Mr.. Gurley compelled
to flee, and the meeting broke ap. The win
dows of our new brick church have heen dash
ed to pieces, the stoves thrown down, and
the interior of the church thrown into the
widest disorder. Hence acts OF retaildtioh
follow. The excitement has got among the
irrelioious portion of the nation, and matters
must come to a crisis shortly"
