The Great Dismal swamp.

The Dismal Swamp in Virginia is by nc
means so dismal as it has been painted, and
according to the description of local geogra.
pliers possesses features which ought to
make it an attractive watering-pldce and
sanitarum. 1t is not, as most people i'm
agine vast bog sunk low in the ground.
into which the drainage of the surrounding
country flows. On the contrary, according
to accurate surveys, it is above the level
ground, some fifteen or twenty feet and.
instead of being the receptacle, is, in its
immense spOngelike bulk, gathering the
waters that descend upon it, the source of
rivers, five of which take their origin with
in it and flow onward to the sea. The
swamp is entirely Of green timber: there is
no decaying wood, the two principal woods
that grow there being the iuiper and the
cypress, which never rot. They fall on
the ground like other trees. but instead of
decomposing, they turn into peat, and in
that form remain interchangeable and ndis-
soluble. There is nothing in the swamp
TO create miasma: no rising of the tides
and decomposition of rank vegetables: no
marshes exposed to the burning rays of the
sun. All is fresh and sweet. and the air is
ltden with balmy: doors. The water is ting
ed with the juniper to a faint wine hue.
and is thought to possess valuable sanitary
qualities. 1t is often used by vessels going
on foreign cruise on account of its health
full properties, and also because it keep,
fresh and clear for years. Those who live
near it are not slow to declare that it is the
healthiest place on the continent, and are
perhaps not without reason for the faith
which is in them.
