Magazins: Standing Oh the cliff, eight
hundred feet above the valley, we looked
down into it's dtiiet Shadows; where tiny
cascades went leaping over the stones to
tanzplatz-a broad open plateau still
away we saw the weird form of the
Brocken, dimly visible behihd its misty
veil. Meadows and green pastures lay
now in sunshine, now in shade from
the light clouds floating above; level
plains studded with cities and villages
stretched away, and were lost in vapor.
We were hemmed in by mountains, some
of which were SO gatint and stony that
no smallest plant could grow thereon,
while others were gay with blossoms and
rich with foliage. Suddenly one peak
after another was lost in the rain !;
showers were falling all about us, the
drops glistening like gems in the sun
shine. The valley lay in darkest gloom,
and we were in the midst of clear rays
from the setting sun. Soon the tops of
the trees---the pale birch, the dark green
frs, pine, oak, and beech--were brightly
defined against the sky, where the clouds
burst into sudden glory of red and
gold rainbow rested on the mountain
tops, spanned the valley, crept down the
sides, and was lost in night far, far be.

Elsewhere in the world there are
loftier heights, softer landscapes, gran
der waterfalls; but in variety of tim
and depth of color, none of them cal
surpass a sunset on the Rosstrappe.

One of these, the most powerful, called
upon the delegate, telling him he was

enough to remove him from Office:
+" It is very well, my lord marquis, -
quoth Pecci, "but meanwhile l will
shut you up in Jail for three months,
where will keep you on bread and

And he was as good as his word, and
