WNDERMERE, june Is, 1868

NY DEAR Mn PoLASp:
In all continental railroad stations there is
wa" M and sway out" am now on
my way out !" through the most beautiful
part of England, unless Wales may be an ex-
ception. ! admire the scenery on the Dee in
Wales and about Ruavon and Llangollen, but
there is peculiar charm to the lake region
which can belong to no other.
Associations have much to do with beauty.
Other things being equal, the residence Of
Walter Scott is more beautiful than the resi-
dence of the Duke of Devonshire The las-
cinaton of genius still fingers about It's earth
lv home, and the aroma of pleasant memory
ever is exhaled II was this that made Scot
land so attractive to me- II was the land Of
Wallace and Bruce, Of Rob Roy and the
Douglas This invested Holyrood and fdin-
bureh Castle and Linlithgow with theirwondcr-
ful interest to me. For in the ono, Mary, Queen
of Scots was born, in the other she met many
of the deep sorrows Of her unhappy life, and
in the other she gave birth to the progenitor
Of the monarchs of England confess al
ways to a warm sentiment toward this hapess
and iatally-dowered queen. II she was a sin
ner she was also sufferer. aud more by the
fault of Others So the place whore she lived
and which now remains IA il was when She
/ left it for her weary imprisonment and cruel
death Is fragrant ,till with the presence and
power of her beauty. The Abbey and Palace
/ IF IIolvrood will hold their nlace ALWAYS in
my most pleasant recolcctions.
