Niagara Falls.

Volumes have been written in relation
to the great cataract, but we have seen
nothing more to the point than the fol.
lowing refusal to describe this wonder OF
the western world. No one who has
heard the roar of the Falls, or stood on
Table Rock and viewed the sea of foam
wreatted with rainbews, will fail to ap.
prcciate it. 1t is from the editor of the
New York Day Book, who, on an excur-
sion from Montreal westward, says I'VE
reached Niagara about one o'clock. l
have never before visited the Falls,
though had passed them and seen them
from distance. Let no one suppose
however, that | am going to attempt a
description of them. That no one CAN
do, for Niagara;s not describable. Poets
may tear themselves like unfedgcd trag-
edians, into tatters, and orators in pin
feathers may bubble, boil, and trouble.
equal to the whirlpool. and yet they
would convey no very adequate idea of
Niagara. There has been almost stuff
enough written about it to dam up
the river and make enothcr fall
about as great. The truth is, Niagara is
very much like great man, the simplest
thing in the world. Newton playing
with an apple, and Webster inquiring
about the Washington markets the price
of squashcs, would have been thought by
some people very undisnifed. So l sus-
pect there are those who come here who
are much disgusted to find Niagara moth

gets parted by small island, and then
falls off a precipice about one hundred
and fifty feet in height. 1t evidently
strikes mass ofrough and jagged rocks,
for the water is literally chopped. or as
it were, mechanically analysed until
there is nothing left Of it but spray and
foam. After it gets over foamins and
bubbling it runs away looking very blue
perhaps almost green, though l should
think not green enough to be caught in
another such scrape. Those who have
never seen Niagara ought to do so, if
they can conveniently. 1t is worth look.
ing at in detail, and man Of leisure

rude young gentlemen conspired secretly
to rob the reverend divine of his meal
The moment the coach arrived, they
fastened with all speed to the table, and
hurriedly swallowed their dinner. The
Doctor, through age, moved but slowly,
and had barely time to invoke blessing
and begin his meal when they arose, and
called loudly upon the driver that they
were ready to start, and the time was up.
'All aboard they Justify screamed. The
driver was in the dinin room. The
Doctor saw Immediately their object.

cheating him out of his meal. With
