joing it upon mine host 10 let the Colo
mel sleep so long as he would. AT the
end of two or three hours he awoke. and
learning the trick that had been played
upon him, he mounted his good sized
and making his way 10 the narrowest
part of the channel plunged in and swan
his horse across to the point of Plymouth
beach, a distance at high tide of more
than two miles.
"Never, ] ween, did swimmer,
In such an eril case,
Struggle through such a raging food
Safe to the landing place"
But when there he was within five
miles of his destination, which he soon
devourcd up, and had been long arrived
at The goal with the supper ordered, when
his party arrived "bloody with squirting,
fiery hot with haste" and found that The
more haste they had made the worse
speed they had. The same hero once at
a drinking bout, when all the supplies of
lemons in Plymouth had given out, with
a spirit equal to the emergency, galloped
to Boston and back, seven,y-iwo miles in
all, returning with the supplies before the
TOPPING session was over. We have no
such men now The Temperance So
cieties have much TO answer forl
The Pilgrim Hall, in front Of which q
fragment Of the Rock is inclosed in an
iron fence, having the names of The first
emigrants on mcdallions around it, con.
tains many interesting relics Of the first
settlers. Furniture and utensils, hooks
and weapons, writings and autographs of
Carver, Bradford, Standish, Brewster, and
others must be ever increasingly curious
and valuable. A considerable collection
Of the few rude antiquities of the Indian
race will also grow in value as years pass
away and the races they represent disap-
pear from the earth. Interesting manu-
scripts Of the Pilgrims, among them ma
ny valuable documents, are deposited
here, as well as a small collection of Gu.
rious books, as the neuclus of a large Ii.
brary. Among other objects OF curiosity
is a Commission from Cromwell to one
of the Winslows, with a ~pen-and-ink
likeness of him at the head. The sigma

My own personal mission TO Plymouth
attended with great satisfaction to
myself and all outward marks Of prosper
ny. Our meetings were held on Sunday
at the usual hour of religious ssr#ioa, in
a handsome hall belonging to the Sons
Of Temperance. Notwithstanding this
lying in the face Of the pious prophecies
Of the town, the hall was we'll filled in the
morning, and crowded in the afternoon,
with attentive listeners. In the evening
the meeting was held in a desecrated
meeting house, abandoned to p~rofane
secular uses, holding twice as many as
