V THE LIBRARY OF sA1xr cHR1sropHER.
b: The Library of St. Christopher is an
old Roman Roma tower, built in the days Of
Charlemange.: It consists Of three
chambers, or rather halls, one over the
other, with massive winding stair of
stone from base to -battlements, from
whose summit the eye spans a broad
lanscape of plain and river, with dense
forests here, and; there like black
shadows cast over the fertile valleys,
and the spires and roofs Of villages
scattered picturesquely in the lap of
the luxurisat, yinelaads. At each story,
on each side Of the square tower, are
six windows, sunk deeply in the heavy
masonry. With rudely carved mulliops,
aud small dismond:shaped panes Of
thick glass:-:7;tthl.e, ut &, last, = comparatively
modern improvement. In 6ne, It IS a
stern old relic Of feudal barbarism, with
I3au taik.of rugged domination, giyen!sby
its commanding positionon an eminence
just outside the town upon the bank 81
the rushing. Filbach.-There.: is little
appearance Of peaceful library about
it, and its, oaken doors are usually
closed from Christmas to Christmas;
We mounted the winding stair, in :
gloomy twilig ht, scarce aided. by the
faint CLEANS from narrow loopholes
pierced here and there in the thick
walls 3ss%s-: ''Ezp IL -: ".', -.
