It's waters, now seant agd hmpld, now volumnous and turbld. sas $ a writer in Scrihner's Magazine. are poured at length into larger and more sluggish stream. which. fed-by a hundfe ed other snow born fountains that descend from the almost perpetually snow clad mountains on the south. flows westward in it's :urn. through broad and fruitful plain and then through narrow deflie, to lose itsself and it's yellow hue at last in the clear eXpanse of the Bay of Smyrna which at this point represents the Ae- gean Sea
