nv which Mr.. b. thinks will be worth F" ioi-
time when opened. We now drive ~ the
mountain until we arc almost at the CHEST
point, and have a grand view OF the iru'.
farm. we see peach trees in their beaatiiui
green foliage for miles.
Driving a mile or so we come to oeauu-
f,l new cottage. This is Mr.. BIS summer
home. and here we are introduced to Mrs. b.
and their four very interesting children
After few minutes conversation we are
invited to step in and take dinner. Being
as hungry as mountain woodchoppers, we
were in good condition TO partake OF the ex-
cellent dinner Of roast lamb, roast chicken
and variety of vegetabes-all grown right
here on the mountain, and prepared by Mrs.
SNYDER. whose husband is general manager
Of the fruit farm. We all relished the din
ner and | will always remember and feel
grateful to Mrs. Becker and her daughter for
their kind attention during our visit.
After few minutes rest we took walk
through this grove 10 look at tue u'Aeieu'
varieties Of fruit. Judging from the healthy
appearance of this young fruit, We are satis-
fed that it is not only 4 big undertaking,
but will be a grand success, which man of
such pluck as Mr.. B. certainly deserves.
We now say good bye to the folks at the
cottage and drive slowly along the noun
tain and down to Harper's Ferry, arriving
there at 6 p. m, where we separate and give
our friends who have contributed so much
to our days pleasure, good bye" Having
spent the night at Harper's Ferry, we take

irving home at 1858, fully satisfied with our
trip and our investment. :. G. NJ.

BRiTAiNS PARLIAMENT.
As a Political School the House of Com
mons Is "A Complete Failure.

As Political School the House of Com
mons Is a Complete Failure.
The House of Commons is falling as
all thoroughly democratic assemblies
fail, in the function it once served ad.
mirably, as a political school. 1t fails
doubly-first, in getting number OF
scholars young enough to learn; and
next, in giving them their lesson when
1t does get them. 1t may be questioned
whether we have at present, properly
speaking, any parliamentary youth at
all. At the present moment we can
hardly recall any but Sir E. Grey, Lord
Carmarthen and Lord Cranborne, who
poperly deserve that title, and even of
these, the first two will complete their
twenty-eighth and the last his twenty
ninth year respectively this year, and
can certainly not be called boys. We
can not recall single member who
came into Parliament at Pitts age, and
though we do not know the average age
of the members, we suspect that 1t
would turn out to be not much, If at all,
below fifty. Take it all in all, it is GER
tainly a parliament of middleaged or
old men, and by no means as good
school as the earlier parliaments of this
century have been for youthful states
men.
Almost every thing tells unfavorably
on the election of very young men, be-
cause large constituencies, such as are
now universal, always prefer a known
man to an unknown, and 1t is impossi.
BILE for young man to be known to such
constituencies, except in rare cases as
the son of his father; and al
most every thing tells unfavorably on
their training, because the concentra-
ton of the attention of the democracy
on single questions, like the Irish home
rule question, involves a monotony of
political subject, and to insure success,
vehemence of political defamation
which disgusts young men of any lively
political intellect, and repels them from
politics. Finally, every thing tells I'M
favorably on their oratory, because the
immense waste of time on obstruction,
and the perpetual re-discussion of the
same subjects, render it hardly possible
for them to speak often, even if they
are elected, and inspire the leaders with
aversion for those party members who
take up the same house, instead of press
Ing for a division. For the most part
tie promising young men" of the party
are men of thirtyeight, at least'-Lon
