frst impressions when beheld It before
me in all its savage grandeur. The glacier,
thickly studded with enormous loose rocks
and earth, is about mile in width, and
extends upwards many miles tawards an
immense mountain, covered with perpetual
snow down to its base, and its glittering
summit piercing the very skies, rising
FL 900 feet above the level Of the sea-
The chasm in the glacier, through which
the sacred stream lrushes forth into the
light of day, is named the Cows Mouth,
and is held in the deepest reverence by
oil the Hindoos and the regions of eter-
nal frost in its vicinity are the scenes Of
many Of their most sacred mysteries. The
Ganges enters the world no puny stream,
but bursts forth from its icy womb, river
thirty or forty yards in breadth. Of great
depth and very rapid. A burrell was killed
by lucky shot across the river just at the
mouth it fell backwards into the torrent,
and was no more seen. Extensive as my
travels since this day have been through
these beautiful mountains, and amidst all
the splendid scenery have looked on, l
can recall none so strikingly magnificent
as the glacier of the Ganges

Let US look at Darwin and Capt. Fitz.
roy threading their pcrilous way from the
Atlantic to the Pacific through the Beagle
Channel. 1t is straight passage. not
more than two miles wide, but a hundred
and twenty miles long, bounded on each
side by mountains rising in unbi oxen
sweep from the waters edge, and termi-
mating in sharp and jagged points three
thousand feet high. The mountain-sides
for half their height are clothed with a
dense forest, almost wholly composed Of
a single kind Of tree, the s0mbre-leafed
southern beech. The upper line Of this
forest is well defined, and perfectly horri-
zontal; below, the dropping twigs actually
dip into the sea. Above the forest line
the crags are covered by glttering man.
tie Of perpetual snow, and cascades are
pouring their foaming waters through the
woods into the Channel below In some
places magnificent glaciers extend from
the mountain-side to the waters edge
at is scarcely possible to imagine any
thing more beautiful than the beryl-like
blue Of these glaciers, and especially as
contrasted with the dead white Of the up
per expanse ofsnow.' Heavy and sudden
squalls come down from the ravines, rails
ing the sea, and covering it with foam, like
a dark plain studded with patches of
drifted snow. which the furious wind is
ever lifting in sheets of driving spray. The
albatross with its wide spread wings comes
careering up the Channel against the wind
and screams as IL it were the spirit OF the
storm. The surf breaks fesrfully against
the narrow shores, and mounts to an i'm
mensc height against the rocks. Yonder
is promontory Of blue ice, the sheer emu
Of glacier; the wind and sea are telling
upon it. and now down plunges huge
mass, which breaking into fragments, be-
spreads the angry sea with mimic icebergs.
In the midst Of this war Of the elements,
appear a pair Of sperm-whales. They
swim within stones cast Of the shore,
spouting at intervals, and jumping in their
unwieldy mirth clean out OF the waters,
falling back On their huge sides, and splash
ing the sea high on every hand. with a
sound like the reverberation Of distant
broadside. How appropriate place for
these giants Of the deep TO appear and
how immensely must their presence have
enhanccd the wild grandeur Of that ro-
mantle scene.
