The COIdStreanns.

The coldstreams were raised in tie year
1860, i'll the little town near Berwich-on-
Tweed from whence the regiment takes its
name. The first colonel was the renowned
George Monk, (afterwards Duke of AIbe-
marle,) general in the Parliamentary Army
and an admiral of the fleet. 1t is owing to
this latter fact that a small union jack is
permitted to be borne on the queens color of
the regiment. proud distinction enjoyed
by no other corps in the service. In the year
1860 brave Monk and his gallant Coldstream-
ers materially assisted in the happy restora-
ton of the English monarchy, and to perform
this patriotic and eminently loyal act, they
marched from Berwick-on-Twe to London.
meeting with warm and enthusiastic greet
ing from the Inhabitants of the towns and
villages through which they passed After
the restoration was accomplished the troops
were paraded on Tower Hill for the purpose
of taking the oath of allegiance to the king,
and among those present were the three
noble regiments that form the subject of this
brief history. Having grounded their arms
in token of submission to tho new regime,
they were at once commanded to take them
up again as the First, Second and Third
regiments of the Foot Guards. The First
and Third regiments obeyed, but the Cold
strean1ers stood firm, and their muskets re-
mained on the ground. S'Why does your
regiment hesitate?' inquired the king of
Gen. Monk. MAY it please your majesty"
said the stern old soldier ''my Coldstreamers
are your majesty's devoted soldiers, but after
the important service they have rendered
your highness they declined to take up arms
as second to any other regiment III your
majesty's service!" ''They are right" said
the king, ''and they shall be Second to

One great feature of interest possessed by
these mountains is the number of lakes found
among TEEN. These lakes are, however,
propeoly tarns, and are situated high up the
sides, near the SUBMITS. Indeed, they oc-
cupy crater-like depressions under the noun
tain tops. This gives them certain amount
of sameness. At the npper end Is a wall of
granite precipice rising to the mountains
crown, forming a segment of a circle; the
rest of the lake is enfolded In the pine-clad
arms of the mountain. They all sombre,
solitary, and wild. These tarns are of great
depth; some are, of course, supposed to be
unfathomable. Thess are the Schwarz See,
and the DEVILS Lake, near Eysenstein
Under the brow of the Rahel lies another,
very wild and lonely, but perhaps the most
beautiful is the Plochsteiner See. The
gloomy Teufe1s See in one excursion It lies
far below the foot of the traveller in basin
of rock and somber forest, and the waters
from a height look like ink Popular
superstition says that if a stone be cast in
the lake is agitated, boiIs, and a tampest
rises out of it. AS I saw it on a rainy day
the effect was singular and such as to give
color to the superstition. Vapor condensed
over the cold water and rose from it in spi-
raj columns of gauzy wreathes, much like
steam from a ealdron. l stood some time on

gray canopy. The appearance was quite

bridged, SO that the lake, at one time unap-
