MACBETH Twin Lakes.
 Since our letter of last week was written, our number has been reduced by the depart ure of MT. J. L. Tinker, who has exchanged camp fare and pond water for hotel menu and the sparkling mineral waters of Saratoga. Last night was spent in Canaan by "the in- corrigible punster," leaving only two of us in camp.
 Those who visit the Lakes in the day time do not see these beautiful twins in their best attire; it is only in early evening during the full of the moon that the Lakes together with the surrounding hills and dales take upon themselves the most attractive garb which Nature can bestow. Last evening, to enjoy more fully the grandeur of the scene, we stepped into our boat, (the Delta, and showed off upon the lake, sometimes leisurely rowing and again permitting our boat to float where gentle current would carry her. The dark deep lake was a splendid mirror reflecting Nature on every side, from the bright planets that sparkled millions of miles above US, to the little trees that fringed the shores of the lake, all were reflected on the calm bosom of the still water. As our boat gllded forward it caused ripple on the lake, and the little waves seemed to make the reflected stars each one of Heavens gems throwing back it's light from hundred tiny waves until the water on each side seemed like sparkling bed of diamonds or weird and magic scene of beauty in the Arabian Nights We turned the Delta's prov toward a little island about mile away, and as soon as we touched the shore, climbed to large rock half covered with moss, from which we could see the whole lake. It seemed as though all Nature were asleep-not a rustic of a leaf, not splash in the water-and that the bright face that shone from fair Luna's surface was the guardian of it all There was nothing to do but lie there, on the old weath. er-beaten rock and gaze in wonder The mountains, towering up two thousand feet stood out in bold relief against the cloudless dome of Heaven, while just above their sum nit in the West, Venus shed her light, seem ing like pearl ofpriceless value in the crowr and all was repeated in the mirror beneath as though Nature were trying to outdo herself Above and in front the moon in unrivaled splendor was throwing over the whole pic. ture that soft peculiar light which gave the entertainment of fairy land to the scene.
