LETTER FROM SWITZERLAND.

Gersau, Switzerland Sept. 18th, 1899.
Dear Brother mailed my last letter
to you at Basel, though 1t was written the
day before at Freiburg. At Sihlbrugg
we were delayed half day and wrote let
ters. l ought not, however, to speak of
our stay In any place in Switzerland, as
delay or detention, for we are at home
wherever we are, enjoy every place, and
have no such definite plan that we need
at any time to be impatient to get on.
Isn't that an ideal way to travel, especial
ly In such country as this? E. Is
enraptured with the scenery of Switzer-
land; thinks there is nothing In or about
Stafford, or even Monson, quite equal to
it. How wild and unpatriotic man must
be to entertain such notions. Leaving
Sihlbrugg at p. m. on Thursday last, we
ran up the sihl few miles in mud, then,
turning to the right, ran over divide to-
wards Zug few miles, and, 10! the up
per half of the lake in its unequaled set
ting of hills, pastures and orchards and
strips of forests, lay around and below
US. 1t was scene for painter to grow
wild over in his despair of ever putting it
on canvas. In this favored country the
Divine painter has scattered in profusion
scenes that the efforts of the highest
genius in art make futile attempts to ex-
press, but to live among these scenes,
with nothing to do but enjoy them as we
have been privileged to do the past week,
Is to be exalted to Heaven in experiences
that all might well covet.
We now have fine down grade past
Cham at the north end of the lake, along
its east shore to Zug, where we stopped
half an hour to see the quaint old church
of st. Oswald and some Of the old mural
towers still well preserved, the wall OF
defence having all disappeared. One OF
the towers is built in, in picturesque
way, with houses of later construction.
1t has clock and sweet toned bells In 1t,
which struck the hour as we stood neal
it. Then on to the south end of the lake
through the village of Walchwyl to Arth.
Goldau, where we stopped for the night
expecting to climb Rigi Friday, If the
weather is propitious. We stopped at q
little Gasthof near the railroad leading
up to the top of Rigi, at the edge of the
village of Arth. Are up early the next
morning, but Rigi is invisible, and the
heights all around are buried In cloud
sea. The fates are against us.
We breakfast on coffee, rolls, butter
and Swiss honey. E., not accustomed
to bread breakfast, sometimes complains
at the hard crust, and longs for the "flest
pots of Egypt" to wit, the gravy and po
tatoes and pie of New England. We are
happy in spite Of threatening clouds, fol
we set our faces toward Brunnen anG
Lake Uri and that fine stretch of scenery
up the valley of Reuss, toward the St
Gothard Pass. 1t all lies before US, ant
our wheels and legs are In fine trim. Isaac
Walton, with all his fine raptures ovel
the pleasure of fishing, never dreamed O
one tithe of the pleasure, delights ant
raptures the cycler has every day Of hl'
life In such a country as this. We reach
Brunnen In due time, loiter about few
Tninutps takiDO In tho s.To,,< o,, oovohIo ;
The Press. (Stafford Springs, Conn.) 1883-1935, 1899-10-19

then up the grade on the east shore of
Uri, past Hotel Pension Mytenstein,
where M and spent the night and
following forenoon in April, 1893, I in
bed most of the time threatened with
pneumonia. Still, Brunnen seems pleas
antly familiar and home like. We have
to dismount and walk little now and
then, and thus get even better views than
from the wheel. The wheel is too swift q
vehicle for best scenery, and then up
grades are providentially disturbed. Every
road along Lake Uri deserves to be meas
ured by foot rule. We stop at Tells
Chapel below at Fluelen and in Fluelen
few minutes, then to Altdorf, famous and
favored town of Tell. In the center of
the town monument of him, noble
tribute to noble patriot. The town it.
self is interesting, aside from its associa-
tions with Tell and the achievement of
Swiss independence.
After short stop we are off up the
valley, wheeling past Erstfelt. E. be-
gins TO wonder If we haven't gone far
enough, especially as we have to go right
back over the same road. About four
miles above Erstfelt we turn back. l do
so with great reluctance, and can hardly
resist the impulse to go over into Italy.
Italy, like a siren, ever beckons me to-
ward her. shall yield at last, and sealed
will be my fate. If I never come back
yon can guess where I am.
Back to Brunnen we fly, most of the
way beautiful grade for the wheel, and
stop at Gasthof. Left Brunnen yester-
day at 10 a. m., and rode along the north
shore of Lake Lucerne to this place, and
were so captivated with it and it's sur
roundings and the views that we decided
to settle down and stay over Sunday, es-
pecially as had only the day before sent
to London for mail, which would not ar
rive probably before Tuesday morning.
Shall remain until tomorrow after break
fast, then keep ON around the lake to Lu-
cerne, where in due time we hope for let
ters from you and other friends.
After dinner yesterday we climbed up
on one of the southern spurs of the Rigi
Range, near Gersau, about four thousand
feet, and had grand views of Lake Lu-
cerne and its environments, Pilatus tow
erlng above all, grand, cloud-capped.
and, though we returned tired and hun
CRY, we felt that 1t had been a new and
profitable experience to US. We go from
here to Lucerne and then over the Brunig
to Interlaken. A. N. THREsHER.
