curiously depots But its surroundings romantic and lovely in the extreme Skirling one side was a ing river bordered with beautiful willows and on tho other a high thickly wooded and in places craggy and precipitous These woods in spring and summer full of and wild vines and a cleat cold stream that had its birth in a recess among the dashed over the rocks and alter many wonderful bends and plunges found to the river At the loot of the hill wound the railroad track at some points nearly filling the space be- tween the brook and the rocks at others almost overhung by the latter Some oi

progress uas far behind of free states That their relative position at this time is as bad il not worse than it was then is undoubtedly true And if tho slave states were con- fined entirely to their
