the .ocety Of the place.

passage for Copenhagen. After issuing from the
SkdrRaard, or rocky archipelago which protects
the approach to GOttenburg from the sea, we made
direct course to Elsinore, down the Swedi.h
coast, but too distant to observe more than ita
general outline. This part of Sweden, however
the province of Haland-is very rough and stony,
and not until after passing the Sound does one see
the fertile hills and wales Of Scania. The Cattegat

Zealand rose blue from the wave, and the increase
in the number of small sailing craft denoted our
approach to the Sound. The opposite shores drew
nearer to each other, and finally the spires of He!

peared in sight. Inspite of its BARE wintry aspect
the panorama was charming. The picturesque
Gothic buttTesses and gables of Kronborg rose
above the ziezag of its turfed outworks; beyond
we're the houses and gardens Of Helsng0r( Elsncre)
while on the CLASSY breast Of the Sound feet Of
merchant vessels lay at anchor, and beyond, the
fields and towns of Sweden cleaned in the light Of
the setting sum- Yet here, again, must find fault
with Campbell, splendid lyrist as he is. We should

Only that the level shore with its fair gardens and
groves, wouldn't admit the possibility of such
thing. The music of the line remains the same,
but you mast not read it on the spot.
There was beautiful American clipper at an
Choir of the Castle. "There," said Danish pas

and felt gratifsd, as an American, to hear the re-

that the same principle might be applied at home
We have Denmark, lying between New-Yerk and
Philadelphia and l have often paid sand dues for
crossing her territory.
At dusk, We landed under the battements Of Co
pei4aaen. "ATe You travellers merchants 7"
asked the Custom House officers Travellers"
we replied. "Then," was the answer, " there is
10 necessity for examining your trunks, and We
were politely ushered out at the opposite door, and
drove without further hindrance to hotel. A gen.
tleman from Stockholm had said to me: "When
you get to Copenhagon, you will find yourself in
Europe" and was at once struck with the truth
of his remark Although Copenhagen is by no
means commercial city-scarcely more so than
stockholm-its streets are gay brilliant and bust
ling, and have an air of life and joyousness which
contrasts stikisgly with the gravity of the latter
capital. From without it makes very little impress

is one of the largest and lveest in all Europe. In
costume, there is such thing as individuality; 10
manners somewhat Of independence. The Danish
nature appears to be more plant and flexible than
the Swedish, but cannot judge whether the charge
of inconsistency and assimilation, which have
heard brought against it, is just With regard to
morals, Copenhagen is said to be an improvement
upon Stockholm.
During our short stay Of three days, We saw the
principal sights of the place. The first, and one
of the pleassntest, to me, was the park Of Rosen.
borg Palace, with its fresh, green turf, starred
with dandekons, and its grand avenues Of chest

18th of May, we found Spring, at last, after six
months of uninterrupted Winter. 1 don't much
