An Evening on the Rhine.

The hall of che Y. M. q. Association
was uncomfortatly crowded Tuesday night
to hear Rev. DR.. Barnas Sears lecture on
On The Rhine" Dr.. S. had thoughtful
ly prepared rough wall map. besides hay
ing number of smaller drawings distrib-
uted among the audience, which greatly as
sisted the holders, who were chiefly ladies',
in following him. He commenced at the
headwaters of the river and mentioned the
lakes which serve as reservoirs md prevent
such flooding of the country as was recent
ly felt in Virginia. Among the cities
along the Rhine is Wurms, where was
once stationed the same Roman legion that
captured Jerusalem. In that city also was
colony of Jews who, tradition said, had
come from Jerusalem before the crucifiX-
ion OF Christ and who not only took no
part in it but when they heard OF it disap-
proved the act. 1t was at Wurms in for
mer days that the electors met to choose
a ruler, each elector bringing a large army
with him in order to be sure Of fair play
in the electoral college. Along the Rhine
is the great wine country, planted with
grapes from the mountain top down to the
river bank-those near the top making the
strongest wine, and those near the bank
the most pleasant. The familiar names of
Rudisheim, JOhannisberg and others find
their origin here. The castellated Rhine
was where the robber chiefs lived, and
where by such expedients as putting heavy
chains across the river they made vessels
pay toll before passing-a revenue system
that WAS broken up by Rudolph, who
cleared them all out. The chiefs were
hung to oak trees, which oaks were af-
forwards cut down and made into d chapel
where prayers were said for their souls.
DR.. Sears gave many of the old legends of
the Rhine in verse, which he had trans
lated from the German. The lecture was
interesting aud Instructive, and at its close
re- olution of thanks to the lecturer, Of
fered by Mr.. IL. ID. Peck, was unanimous
ly adopted.
