The Alpine Horn is an instrument con-
structed with the bark of the cherry tree
and which like speaking trumpet IS used
to convey sounds to great distance w hen
the last rays of the sun giid the summit OF
the Alps, the shepherd who dwells highest
on those mountains, takes his horn and calls
aloud, Praised be the I.ord!' AS soon as
he is heard, the neighboring shepherds leave
their huts and repeat those words. The
sounds last many minutes, for every echo
Of the mountains and grotto of the rocks re-
peat the name of God. How solemn the
scene Imagination cannot picture itself any
thing more Sublime the profound silence
that succeeds, the sight of those stupenduous
mountains, upon which the vault of Heavan
seems to rest, every thing seems to excite
the mind to enthusiasm.


In the mean while, the shepherds bend
their knees, and pray in the open air, and
soon after return to their huts to enjoy the
repose of innocence.
