THE FOG.
| can't forget the fog. 1t rose at gilt and
was so thick as to envelope US in white
shroud, through which vision could not
reach more than foot or two. The steamer
was compelled to anchor. There we re-
manned. We could hear the cocks crow on
the shore and the noise OF the returning
morning, the farmers voice, the milkmaids
song as she went TO her duty, the laugh OF
children, and the very frying Of the sausage
in the farmers kitchen. and yet we dared
not move. In the mean time the fog-bell

strangely enough, and were seemingly not

Well, down the Ohio we went to the solid

considerably greasy, city of Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI.
This Ohio river town is exceedingly
wealthy iu proportion to population. 1t
has wonderfully stood the drain upon it by
the lake cities. 1t suffered considerable
check, but it held it's own, and has of late |
years gone ahead. 1t now numbers $780, 900 |
inhabitants, and its wealth may be well ap- |
preciated by any one who visits the heights |
which look down upon it. | took drive |
through the maZcs OF Clifton. My eyes
never beheld such evidences of opuence and |
lavish expenditure in fine buildings and Or
grounds. Very fine taste is dis
played in them. Some OF the dwellings |
cost over million of dollars, and the |
grounds are so clearly and trim that a weed |
is no where to be seen, while the grass is as
q lovely carpet. The roads that meander
amongst the graceful hills which are adorned |
by these fue establishments, and free of |
fencing, are all perfect for smoothness and |
solidity, and the ravines have here aud there |
the lakes that so enhance the picture.
THE EARTHLY PARADISE.
The place is an earthly paradise. 1 could |
