a malicious pleasure in appearing happy

We determined to be easy and say notlnns.

and gloating over the faireSt landscape one
ever sees in Virginia. From the hill that over
tons the picturesque little village OF Upper
vile we saw the most highly cultivated, the
most beautiful, and the most Variegated coun-
try OF this Old Dominion. There may De
other scenery elsewhere surprising this IN
extent or LONELINESS, but seemed impossible
to us that any should combineso much that IS
attractive with so little or nothing that re-
pels. We do not expect to see any country,
nrettier than this part Of Fauquler and
ioudoun, and we verify believe IL ourSta,e
had noting else to show than this lovely
section, it were well worth an ocean Trip
to behold such glorious panorama. =,
The road from Upperyille towards the
esmn.meeting divides Fauquer from LOU
doun. On either side are seen gracefully
s]opipg fields, divided by the solid and dura-
BILE stone fence 90 characteristic OF this coun-
try. Cattle of splendid size and condition

flowers, give such a happy effect to sur
face already diversified that the eye rests
with delight wherever you turn 1t. so grea'
is the recuperative power OF the country
that one passing through sees notrace o!

The Loudoun camp-meeting is afamou:
institution in this country, and has peer
famous for long while. Every year abou
the latter part Of August the goou Metno
dis. disposes his affairs to spend week OF
more from home in social and religious con
verse with his brother and neighbors
When the time comes he transports hi
family and much OF his furniture TO the &C
cu>ton,ed spot, and their erects his tent o
builds his hut. 3a

underneath rows of rude benches and al
elevated rostrum indicate the place OF pun
lie worship. With this as centre, tents
or huts, as the proprietor may prefer, are ar
ranged in q quadrangle so rs to present tn
face of the tent or the entrance OF the hui
to the public awning. A thoroughfare o
three or four yards width intervenes be
tween the line, OF tents and the place o
worship. The locality selected is always
wood with the trees Just thick enough t.
admit and shade tents, vehicles. and horses
Such place as this met my curious gaz
after drive Of fifteen miles. There had al
ready gathered upon the ground a.larg'
number OF people from all directions in thu
surrounding country and not a few from
the large cities. Nor was the crowd en-
tirely methodistic. There seemed to bt
