 t.C4sNARvos, Sunday Eyening. APrivate lodg Eings with very excellent Welch woman ant her man both of them at least sixty five The old ladyhas sister in Philadelphia who she says, is as full of patriotism as g young vol unteer. I got here-last night at ten, and cam' to theselodgings recommended from the Fem perance hotel at Bangor. The city -fud olt and packed together in a lump, with the castle walls almost entire, comrharding it. There wa! plenty of hustle in the streets last night. To day, have attended rWo Welch services il the morning at the Methodist Chapel; and 1T the afternoon, in a tent, now raised within thu old Castle walls, for the Eisteddfed that take. place here this week. The Methodist Church is large squarish buildings sort of box chick en coop inside, with roosting place for the pastor. It was remarkably well filled for SC large building. Ofcourse, could understand nothing, all being in the Welch language, but noticed of the singing that it was very good The tunes were minor, and sung by the whole congregation; but the chords were finely struck This afternoon, there was large crowd at the tent; the services also in Welch. I had intend ed going to an English service this evening. but finding on the table here little book of Mary Howet's, it detained me- Since finishing this |" Love and Money" have been looking over another, "Woman's Misslon," but no author ship given. E This noon took small walk on the heigh above the town: From it you again see the fa island of Anglesey, now over the river to ths West; on the other side, within eight miles, are the Snowden range of mountains, the loftiest o all in Wales but after having viewed the Alps or even the Scotch Highlands, they do not look very fearful. Isnowden itself is 3,57l,feet high There is very pleasing extent of rolling up land between us and the mountains. The Snow. den valley, too, makes 8 pretty gap. .
 I have been down to enquire about my route tomorrow. The good woman and her man are reading their Wech Bible, They are both of them exc llent Methodists, and were quite anx. ious to-day to arrange my meals so that the girl could go to meeting. It is comfort to get among such people, though the home made bread IS unnecessarily heavy. To write more, or not '? That's the question ''Shall we go to Lena P asked, as we ate together under a tree on sweet Ennisfallen. We were alone, and my arm around her. "Yes l-No we won't either, only when the rest come in sight, you take your arm aWay.' '" '.

 MONDAY EVENING. thought some this morning of writing home for some one to go on to Snowden with me to-day. The " Eisteddfod doesn't commence until tomorrow hence, to- day was to be planned, for took return ticket for the hotel under Snowden. The day bade fue, so, arriving, had some sandwiches built and struck directly up the path for the summit. The little Welch youngsters declared it would be impossible, Sir, without guide, Sir" but the five franc guide that pulled up the Jura mountains in Switzerland, has guided me ever since. TodayI gave little hero penny Ina : penny to start me right; another ha'penny to young heroine for courtesying la mode: and there, aside from sandwiches, the expense end ed. Both my spy-glass and myself in our trav- els have learned how to climb. To-day we went by party of four, all men; then Welch couple, man and wife, probably. Passing these, there was long gap to another pair, and further on still, a mule party were going. as the snail did, slow but sure. We hardly intended to overtake he mules. Thespy glass knew they were along ways ahead but the girl, surely we could do that Fifteen minutes and half an hour went by. By Georgel that girl was like the Phan- tom Ship-nsyer the nearer. Up, up she went , not bit ofa rest.
 "Its now or never," said the spy-glass as we came to the steepest climb. If she reaches wonder rock first, we shan't see her again"
 And if we never saw any girl again, we couldn't throw another inch into an hour up this rock"
 "She wavers,' cried the spy glass, See she wavers Hurrah we'll have her now, the hus. sy-ankles and a. She looks at us, and she goes again. No! you don't do it, my beauty you can't do it! Vous etes trop tatiquee ct q'uen luis 6ien content. The ,spy-glass wasn't right the girl faltered more and more, and then, she stopped. She stopped, and we went by shouting victory.
 And the wind blew on the top 80 that all the girls made short stays. (No pun intended The day was fair, and the near view good, giv ing us an excellent impression of the, mountains of North Wales; and adding to it, beauty witf the extensive plains of the Anglesey island, al we'll as with the ocean, or the valleys more near The little lake shows we'll in the valley of Llan beris and, when going up or coming down, you see dug out some two thirds up the opposite mountains, the slate quarries.
 The spy-glass says it did not try much; but let the truth be told, that girl beat us coming Fdown. For half mile we saw her jump like { deer. tAs she was-a pun intended.) sh had fine, frank, merry face, and took it vel when told her she was about the best walker

 To drive to and hence, that hack from Llar
