There is first the valley | of the Susquehannab, â€" Formiles and miles | the Erie Railroad hbugs> that beautifol | stream ; and we pass, in rapid succession, ‘[ fine farms of aluvial land, viilages and | towns, with a perpetual rampart of hills, l covered with wood on each side, our road, I now nearing the river, and, then, receding We go, then, by way of Buffalo. We need not stay long here for as a gentleman who had seen many cities once saidâ€""Of ali the cities in the worid the most uninâ€" teresting is Buffulo. There is nothing to be seen there." Well, perhaps not; but close to Buffalo there are two remarkable sights;â€"there is the view of Lake Erie quietly and smoothly passing into the Niâ€" agara River in such % contrast to the noise at Nincara, where the river makes its leap for Lake Ontario. And again there is the mouth of the Erie Canal, a great and bold undertaking in its day, which carries the waters of Lake Erie over plain and dale, under highways and over them, till at last the ocean is reached, pouring the producâ€" ‘ tions of the West into the lap of New York and thus giving it its first lift and helping to make it the first city of the Americlnl Continent. But as our frace is towards the Atlanticat Philadelphia we must hasten on, How can the iron horse make its way thither across the sea of hills and the chain of the rugged Blue Mountaius that lie between us and the occanâ€"beach 2 Well, the engineers that surveyed these roads did notâ€"that is sure enoughâ€"copy General Wade, who as some of you may havo seon in your young days, ran his military roads through the Highâ€" ands of Seotland as straight as an arrow up hills and across valleys. The engineers of the Erie and Lehigh did not run their roud as the crow fies,but as the watgr runs. After running their line across the great plain, (once the bettom of a lake) which lies south of Buffale they got hold of ariver and they followed it as far ag it suited their view. â€" But as soon as this river threatenâ€" ed to carry them ont of their course they watched its tributaries and struck up the bank of the first ond that suited their course And so on, turning and twisting among the hills like the path and of a huge snake, perâ€" sistently kecping in yiew, however, the point where they intended striking the occanâ€"shore. THE JoUkxEy. Let me suppose that by some means we find ourselves at the Suspension Bridge. We are in too great haste to linger by the Falls. We wish to press forward as we have a long day‘s journey before us. Which road ‘ghall we take 2 The New York Cenâ€" tral is a good and rafe road, but although it takes in New York it runs across a dull level country,. Let us take the Erie and Lehigh Valley Railroad in preference. Dr. Johnson used to say to his friends in Lonâ€" don, after they were tired of books, "Let us take a walk down Chenpside and see men." So I would say let us who live in this flatiOntario, ride by the Lehigh Valâ€" ley Railroad to see hills. It is good to see menâ€"that is when they are good ;â€"but it is good also to hold communion with the ever|asting hills. [ I do not wish you to consider what I Lave to say to you toâ€"night as a lecture. That is too dignified a name for it. It is to be only a quiet talk on a quiect subject. I am to speak to you on three points: the journey to Philadelphia; aglimpse of that city ; and a short skeich of the Presbyterâ€" ian Conneil that met there in September last. The Rev. Jaomes Cameron delivered the following lecture in the Presbyteriau Charch Priceville, on Wednesday evening, the 15th met. Mr. Robert Robertson occupied the chair. The church was well filled, there boing many presont from Flesherton and other places :â€" Ar. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : them, Ora single ray draw from their darsling light! Then farewell to Durham, the home of my loved ones, Bwoet spot whore the holiest memories rest ; While my heart is still true it shall turn back to Hallowed spot, where the purest of memories The green mossy banks, whero I wandored in those days, And culled the sweet fow‘rets thht grew by the n'l.runm; Or thy deep wildwoods where I gatherod the nosegays, They rush to my memory ~sweet enchanting droam I POETRY l from it.

Yes, very ensily. Let us visit Fairmount Park, embraciog 2,740 acros of land and water. There, on a high knoll, is an iron tower. For ten cents they will lift you by steam to the top, and thenee at your leisure and with the breeze fanning your cheek you can "view the landscape o‘er." At your feet lies the Schuylkill river; then across to the enst is the Deloware; yonder to the south the two rivers meet, and you can very plainly see them now united with ships on their bosom, bearing away towards Cape May and the Atlantic Ocean. Reâ€" tween the two riverslies the grent city with a population elose on 900,000 by last cenâ€" sus. _ If it is a clear day you can seo every object, for no cloud of smoke hangs over this great manufactnring cityâ€"a great conâ€" trast to places where soft coal is usedâ€"beâ€" cause here they use nothing but hard coal, which emits no smoke whatever. Having feasted our cyes on the glorious panorama of extended plain, river and city, let us deâ€" scend, and view the city in detail. First of all step into Independence Hall, where the first Congress sat, There are the tables and chairs in which the men:bers sat and there are por‘taits of the men who signed the Declaration of Indepenence, I PRILADELPHIA, This city stands first in the Union and «econd in the world as a manufacturing city; but in population and commerce it ranks second to New York,. Itis a city of homes ; for in proportion to its population it contains a larger number of separate houses and covers n greater number of acros than any otherlarge city in the world. It is a city of churches, for by the last cenâ€" sus it has 485 churches, being more than any other city in the Union. Here, now, is the third memorable seene on this route. _ We stop for supper nt at White Haven and take it by lamplight. We leave the station with a full harvest moon in the cast, and plunge at once into the wild gorges of what has been called the Switzerland of Americaâ€"gorges so narrow that there is barely room for the river and the road to squeeze through together, and so crooked that wa haye the moon looking in now on the right hand and then on the left. In this awful solitade whose only inâ€" habitants are at work in coal pits underâ€" ground, we come suddenly on a busy city with hotels, gas and comnibuses to carry passengers to the city across the stream. This is Mauch Chunk, the seat of the hard coal trade of the Lehigh Valleyâ€"as like a fairy seene in that bright morn as anything ever I saw excepting in dreams. We now pass out to the plain through the Lehigh gap, a gato of nature‘s grand architecture with a rocky pillow 1500 feet on cach side, and room between barely enough for the river, the canal and the iron road. That rocky barrier hoard for cemturies the wild moan of the sen and bore the fury of the waves, but the sea retired, sud for over 60 miles we travel across what was once a seaâ€" bottom but what is now a splendid agriculâ€" tural country ; and about 11 o‘clock we are landed in the heart of the Quaker city, some 435 miles from Niagara and nearly | 600 miles from Priceville, in round numbers. ‘ Let us now glance rapidly at this great city. At last we gain the crest of the hill, the ridge of the Blue Mountain chain whence we begin our descent towards the Atlantic. Up here we lave grand views in various directions ; only for a few minutes, however for we have got hold of the sources of the Lehigh River, and as we are going to keep it company till it gets on out of the hills to the plain, wo begin a rapid descent through a rocky wilderness. Wilkesbarre, a great coal centre, full of mines and surrounded by coal mines, that suddenly, as a hare pursued by the hounds the railway train takes a sharp curve and doubles back on its path. After the train turns, look behind ! ‘There is the valley of overhangs the beautiful yalley of Wyoming that the sccond remarkable sight is to be seen. . It is atter that we passed through Itis not my intention to weary your patience by giving even a bare eutline of the papers resd some of them of great uwbility, others not so able. ~1 wou‘ld rather give you a genoral description of one ofthe The Cquncil embraced the ablest and most experienced ministers and Iaymen, from the Presbyterien Churches of Europe, Asic, Africa, America and Australasia, Conspicuous among those from the British Isles were Drs. Flint and Taming from the Established Church of Seotland. Drs. Cairns and Childerwood from the United Presbyterian Church, and Drs. Rennie and Blaikie from the Free Cuurch. Among the olders wore some remarkable liaymen, such as General George McLellan of the United States, and the Hon. Mr. Maynard, Post Master General, with Judge Stoney of the Supreme Court. From the old land we bad great and noble men; and among them the prospective Earl of Moray. Time would fail wers we to visit this evening all the places of interest in Philaâ€" delphia. It would be interesting to visit the old Exnibition ground where the Ponnâ€" sylvama State Fair is now going on. For two days they were trying the skill of Shepherd‘s dogs or which of them would lead six sheep from a pen on one sido of the ground and fold them safely in anothor pen. An English dog of great fame got out of temper wiih bis sheep and bit one of them and lost his chance of a prize; Bat a Philadelphia dog whose daily work is to conduct sheep from the railway depots to the shambles took his sheep quietly with his head down and without any fuss penoned them all right and got the prize. This is not withont a lesson to those whose business it is to lead children, or even men. We can command best when we seem least domg it We might visit the new City Hall covering 4} neres of ground and to eost $10,000,000, the picture galleries, &c., but the object of our visit is not to see these things. â€" TheiPresbyterian Councilis sitting there during the latter day of last Septemâ€" ber and we want to have a glimpse of that gathering of notable men. THE PRESBYTERIAN â€" CcorKeIt. What is this Couuncil? You ask. Well, I reply by saying .â€"It is the top story of the Prosbyterian Pyramid. The Kirk Scsâ€" sions are the base ; then comes the Presbyâ€" teries ; then the Synods ; then the General Assemblics. But the Sapreme Church Court, about 40 or 50 in number, all over the world representing between seventeen and 19 thousand ministers and some twenâ€" ty thousand congregations have had hitherâ€" to no bond of union, although as tar back as the time of Calvin men longed to soe it. Steam has now made it possible, and the first Couneil was held in EJinbnrgh in 1677 and the second in Piulsdelphia in Sept., 1880 : while the third will be held in Bol-i fast in 1884. The object of this union is to gathor into one "Universal Kirk" all the branches of the Presbyterian Family that hold the doctrine of the Reformed faith, with the view of mutual nequaintance, mutual strength, mutual council, mutual growth in In that same hall hangs the bell, now eracked, that proclaimed the birth of the new lepublic, with these words of prophetâ€" ic import, from Ley. xxv. 10. "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land and to alt the inhabitants thereof." "No" replied his friend. *‘Then," was the quick retort, "that shows that it must be cracked." I have heard anothcr story about his hamor in regard to which I am not so sure, still it is like the man. On the ship in which he @rossed the Atlantic there were a number of English officers. One of them, to banter the minister wanted to have his dog baptized. "Take the dog in your arms," said the minister looking quite grave. ‘Thé officer did so. ‘Then when @11 stood in wonder to see what was the next atep, the officiating clergyman said, "Now Fir do you acknowledge yourself to be the fnther of this child ?" _ That was cnough and amid the laughter of his companions the officer was beaten with his own weapon.

Bis face indicates great ability and suggests something of the dark face and sparkling eyes that look from the old canvass hanging from tne wall of Holyrood in the portrait of the Scottish Reformer. And. Witherspoon, though inferior to his great ancestor in moral grandeur, had the same fearless spirit, the samo mastery of words, of ideas, and of men, and the same dry, almost sareastic, humsor. On the ship in which the Doctor crossed the Atlantic there was an old profane sailor whom he often rebuked for his profanity.

This old‘ sailor came to the "man of Ged" and bogan to talk piously, finishing by saying to Dr. Wâ€"â€"â€" "If we never see land I hope we are all going to the same place." ‘Thiswas too much and the Doctor instantly repliod, "I hope we are not." BASUTO LAXD. RBev. Mr. Nabille of South Africa (which is now alas! in a state of rebellion and the work of God thrown into confusisn for a time) a missionary sent out by the French Presbyterian churches, said in substance : As m delegate of the Basuto land, I will give a short resume of our work. Our work was begun in 1863, when the tribe was very small, and has developed and exâ€" tended. Station after station was added until seventeen stations were made as many centres of light and life. About 1862 the first band of missionaries had, as it were, completed thoir work. In 1869 we established a normal school; wo have also a training school of girls and an industrial school. ‘The general influence of our misâ€" sion upon the tribe has been good; the tribe generally observes the Sabbath day and are greatly improved; education is adâ€" vancing; about 8,000 children are in the day school«, and grants to above £4,000 have been given us, . Noarly one third of the 3,000 children belong to heathen parâ€" ents. The Lord has blessed the work of His servants in this land, and bas given us abundant cavse to bless His name, as He; has made immanifest to the Basutos His great.love and morey ‘by giving them tlwi Gospel. ‘ After him eame Mr. Wright, a Choctaw Indian, who said : "You see in mo the frait of the gospcl." "Indians," he said, "are natural Presbyterians." The Iudian is a firm believer in Predestination, and it is this that gives them the courage and conâ€" tempt of danger for which they are known. As the result of the work of the Mission, there aro twohty six churches of his countâ€" ryâ€"men and 1,100 communicants, Their Presbytery is carrying on by their own means mission work among what is called the "afflicted tribes "â€"their kinsmen ac, cording to the flesh. The evening of a Thursday was devoted to the hearing the latestnews from all parts of the mission field as to the progress of Christs Kingdom,. . Among the speakers were a Hindoo from India, a jet black Afâ€" rican from Liberia, a ‘red Iudian from the foot of the Rockies; all the rest wore Euroâ€" peans who labor on foreign shores, Each speaker was full of his subject, and being allowed only ten minutes it was someâ€" times amusing, but indeed rather regretful, to see the look of despair, or of good naturâ€" ed protest, or of quiet resistance, as the Chairman rose to order,and as the speaker had to close his remarks. Mr. N:ilsou brought news from the New Hebrides, where several Prosbterian bodios have allowed their various missionaries to meet in one general Synod. There are siz European missionaries in thegroup,100 teachers at a salary of $800 per aunum, and three printing presses at work. Oneâ€" third is still in heathen darkness. The statemont with which Dr. Mitchell, who is one of the bost authorities on India, coneluded his #peech, should be pondered by all the Church: "In India," he said, we no longer meet opposition to Christianâ€" ity.
