OVER THE ALPS AND Down THE RHINE.
A lecture by Rev Frank O. Hall. ID. d., of
Cambridge, Mass, VIII be given at the
Universalist church, this, Thursday, even
ing at O'Clock DR.. Hall, with "a friend,
having made a tour of Italy, came into
Switzerland from the Italian lake over the
Alps. Some time was spent climbing noun
tains and enjoying the delights of the Swiss
watering places, and then the tourists fol-
lowed the River Rhine to it's outlet, taking
in the places of interest on and near the
river. This journey embraced the most
picturesque portion Of Europe Nor is it
picturesque alone in its scenery. 1t abounds
with pictures of the imagination. Every
old castle has its ghost story, every cliff has
its legend, and the whole country is alive
with a history that stretches back two
thousand years. The views will depict the
majesty of the mountains. the splendid
architecture of the cities, the delicate beauty
of the lakes and the suggestive grandeur of
| Uncovered ruins. This lecture will be
finely illustrated with stereopticon views.
The remainder of the course will probably
be by Rev. c. A. Crane, D. d. of Boston, a
prominent and brilliant speaker of the
Methodist church, Feb. 18th; Prof. A. j.
Roberts of Colby college, Feb 2Sth; Major
Holman F. Day, readings and recitations
