Half a leagee higher is a secondi
tarn, which appeirs still more dis-'
mal in the rising mist. Around,'
patches of snow are sprinkled on the'
peaks, and these descending in rivu-
lets, produce nioraases. The small
country ponies, with a sure instinct,
mount the bog, and we arrive at an
elevation whence the eye, as far as
it can leach, embraces nothing but
an amphitheater of desolate, yet
green summits; owing to the des-
truction of timber, everything else
bas perished ; a scene of reined na-
ture is far more -melancholy a spec.

our return across the lke, a bag -
piper played co his instrument. Th
music is strange and wild, its effect
harmonizing with the aspect of th
bubbling streams, veined with strik
ing or sombre reflections. The same
simple note, a :kind of :lance music,
runs through the whole piece in an
incorrect and odd manner, and con-
tinually recurs, but it is alwaye
harsh and rough; it might be liken-
ed to an orange shriveled ,with the
cold and rendered bitter. These are

are stone heaps, resembling the re-
mains of a quarry. In winter, tor-

leaving on the slopes a leprous,
whitened scar, badly tinted by the
•too feeble sun. The summits are
truncated, and Want boldnees.
Patches of miserable verdure seam
