From the Uhne Mountains.

Such u rush to the mountains,
'and still il continues. People sleep
on floors, sofas, billiard tables, any
where and everywhere. About a
thousand people were served with
dinner at the Fabyan House this
last "Bcecher Sunday"
Excursion trains Of the p. Il o.
Il. r., 80 over the line several times
a day, heavily loaded. The obser-
walton cars of this route, with their
tasteful curtains and rattan furni.
turc are charming in fine weather.
AS the trains pass points OF interest,
they slackcn speed, and to the gaz.
cr-on there seems but II mass of
floating fans. levelel opera glasses,
bands of music and mystic organi,
cations in rcgalia. Safely and tri.
umphan,ly they pass through the
pprllous Notch of the White Noun,
tains, in spite of crOakings of OPP
ponents. God grant it may ever
continue as long as railroaus thread
our beloved land. One sometimes
feels like closing their eyes until all
is over.
Bcecher in his big new tent last
Sabbath, preached to nearly four
thousand persons. The Eastern
trains were late and some of the
cars did not even unload, while
some of the crowd rushed up in

wards of six hundred dollars and
collections are to be taken up among
the guests to detray expenses.
Last Friday morning we attend
ed morning prayers at the Twin
Mountain House. The exercises,
conducted by Mr.. Beecller were
very interesting. Singing in the
':PIymouth Collection" reading of
the Scriptures with explanatory
comments, and tervent prayer.
One is led to stop and think amidst
the whirl of summer gayety, that
this life is not all. The small par.
Tor or morning room was hardly
large enough to contain all who
WISHED to join. At the same time
in another part of the house, some
were reading and embroidering,
promenadiug the piazzas, playing
croQuer, while children in the game
room, are busy at the delightful
game of "Dcvil among the Tailors,"
&c. Such is life.
Last week Monday night was con-
sidered the finest night on Mount
Washington for several years. The
glorious moon made everything
grand and lovely, tinting the great
banks of clouds with strange and
beautiful colors. Marvelously clear,
still and radiant, the guests stood
still in speechlcSs admiration, when
some one struck up the DoXology,
"Praise Got from whom all bles-
sings tlow." Simultaneously every
hat was lifted and every voice swell
led the anthem. 1t hardly proved
a dorology however, for it was fol
lowed by Windham, Mortified and
other good tunes. All were 10th to
enter the house, and were persuad-
ed to do so only by visions of IA mag.

which was all that could lie desired.

Weather quite cool. Oh ye ladies
who visit the mountains, do not for
get the soft, bright cashmeres and
merinOcS of last winter. There is
many morning when it is COM
fort to wear them and a real delight
to the eye to behold them.
"To Portland" yesterday, a flying
visit to Lincoln Park, the Harbor,

through North Conway, full of sum

the aristocratic Crawford House.
