From Spoleto we went to Terni, and saw the cataract of the Velino The gla- ciers of Montanyert and the sources of the Arveiron is the grandest spectacle l ever saw. This is the second Imagine a river sixty feet in breadth, with vast volume of waters, the outlet of great lake t..se.fis.s fIar,ltsf fUifffS TdIiIrIS, OUR feet into a sighttvss gulf of snow white va DOT. which bursts up forever and forever from cir cle of black crags, and thence leaping downwards, make five or six other cataracts, each fifty or hundred feet high which exhibit on a smaller scale, and with beautiful and sublimary variety, the same appearances. But words (and far less could painting) wlll not express it. Stand upon the brink of the platform of the cliff, which is directly opposite You see the ever moving water stream down

 It comes in thick and tawney folds, flaking of like solid snow gliding down noun tain Ii does not seem hollow within, but without it is unequal, like the folding of ln- en carelesely thrown down, your eye fol- lows it, and it is lost below-not in the black rocks which aird it around, but its own foam and spray, in the cloudlike va DOTS boiling up from below, which is not like rain, nor mist nor spray, nor foam, but water, in shape wholly unlike any thing ever saw before. It is as white as snow but thick and impenetrable to the eye The very imagination is bewildered in lit A thunder comes up from the abyss won derful to hear, for, though it ever sounds it is never the same, but modulated by the changing motion, rises and falls unremit- hngly; we passed half an hour in one spot looking at it. and thought but few minutes had gone by The surrounding scenery is, in its kind, the loveliest and most sub lime that can be conceived. In our first walk we passed through some olive groves of large and ancient trees, whose hoay and twisted trunks leaned in all directions We then crossed path of orange trees by the river side, laden with their golden fruit, and came to a forest of ilex of large size whose evergreen and acronbearing boughs were intertwined over our winding path Around, hemming in the narrow vale, were pinnacles of lofty mountains of pyramidicai rock clothed with all the ever green plants and trees; the vast pine whose feathery foliage trembled in the blue air the Hex, that ancestral inhabitant of these mountains--the arbutus, with it's crimson colored fruit and gittering leaves.

 After an hours walk. we came beneath the cataract of Terni, within the distance of half mile: nearer you cannot approach, for the Mar, which has here it's confluence with the Velino bars the passage We then crossed the river formed by this con huence, over a narrow natural bridge of rock, and saw the cataract from the plat form first mentioned. We think of spending some time next year near this wa terfal. The inn is very bad, pr we should have stayed there longer. Shelley's Re mains.
