Tli climbs from Dunmore, Pa., to a height of 2,100 feet in a distance of live of 33 miles, and then by another route back to Dunmore, one mile from road extends from Honesdale to Carbondale, seventeen miles, and back by another route. The highest point on this road is 2,000 feet, and from the car windows the CatsklU mountains may be seen, sixty miles away. Lakes, waterfalls, glens, and valleys make these two excursions by gravity unrivalled. The Erie Railway Company has made every arrange- ment to introduce these roads to the public this season. The accompanying schedule will give all information in regard to routes and rates of fare, while the map published in connection herewith will show at a glance the novelty of theexcur- sion. Trains on these gravity roads connect with Erie Express trains to and from New York. Holders of other excursions, passing Lackawaxen at any portion of the route, can take in the Erie Switchback at a trifling additional expense, by means of the Side Trip Extension Excursions T, W, Y, ami Z. f the loftiest spurs of the Allegheuies. ."^ome of the peaks are 2,500 feet in d nowhere else in the State of Pennsylvania is the scenery grander or more iisrliusms, and threading its dense forests, are two of the most novel railroads 1 1 n.lson Canal Company's Gravity Road and the Gravity Road of the Penn- I " I ati'd by an ingenious system of inclined planes, up and down the mountain, i> lo annoy the tourists.

The story runs that wlien a certain revivalist celebrity took up the horn, to suraiuon the worshippers to service, after dinner, one day, he blew a strong blast of Rift, soap all over the astonished brethren. It is also said by the chronicler of this "item" that the brother was .so wroth at this joke that hi^ crioil out aloud, '• Brethren, I have passed throuL'h many trials and tribulations, but nothing- like iIiIn 1 have served the ministry for thirty years, and in that time ha\e never uttered a profane word, but T'U be cussed if I can't whip the man that .soapeil that horn."

It was the darkest hour in all our revolutionary history. Washington's room is preserved in precisely the same condition in which he kept it. In one of the deep window-seats is discovered a secret, repository, which he used for his private papers. Several old cannon-balls were rolled out on the floor by the young lady who showed us the room, with the explanation that they were samples of many more which had been ploughed up in the fields. From Washington's headquarters the ground gradually rises toward the south, and by gentle swells spreads out for over a mile, forming the camping-grounds where the log-barracks were erected. Surrounding these rolling meadows on the northwest are high bluifs, upon which was posted the main portion of the army. Washington chose this position for the canton- ing of his troops, not only because it was near enough to Pliiladelphia to keep a vigilant watch over that city, but also on account of its natural advantages, as it was well adapted for a strongly entrenched encampment, and had a good supply of fresh water always on hand. It is situated at the entrance to the valley, in Chester county, on the west side of the Schuyl- kill, about twenty-three miles from Philadelphia. To the north-west a deep creek runs between high and rugged hills, and debouches into tin- Schuylkill. This stream is called the "\'alley Creek. A forge which was located some distance up the creek, and whose hammers were worked by the stream, is supposed to have originated the name " Valley Forge," which was afterwards applied first to the village, and then to the whole camp ground. This old forge, built previous t« the Revolution, was standing there during the war. It was used for the conversion of pig iron into ." blooms," and then into rod iron. This was before the day of rolling mills. Watkins' Glen — Havana Glen — Geneva — Ithaca. New York, Lake T.rW Northern Central Kai Seneca Lake Steainei New York Central ai.

Creat efteet.s upon the stage are produced only \<\ great pre|)aration. When Charlotte Cushinan lilayed the part of Mig Merrillrs, and .letVerstm enaet.s the iiait (if Jlip Ian iri'nWe, and Sotlurn produces l.riid Dundriiinj, our delight and .satisfaction are the result of a profound anil untiring application of the actor to study of the art ; and no man or woman can hold audiciu'cs for a lifetime without that pre- paration which great artists always give to great rcmccptions. There was once an Knglish actor So Icrrilily in carui'st with the study of his profession, lliat he made a mark on his generation never ex- ceeded liy any other tragedian ! He was a litth', (lark man, with a voice naturally harsh, hut he determined, when comi>aratively young, to play the character of Giles Overreach, in Massinger's drama, as no other man ever played it before. He resolved to give years of indefatigable industry in jircparing himself for the part, and to devote his whole intellect to a proper conception of the char- acter. In the whole range of Engligh dnimatie literature, the character of Sir OiUs is estimated line of the greatest pieces of etfective villany and lui- taiiialde i)xs.si(m ever portrayed, and little Kdmuiid Kcan .set himself to the task of j)roondon stage all the etVect which the author in- f<-iuled. With what intensity lie studied the lan- guage, how he flung himself, with a kind of rage, into the feeling of the piece, all his biographci-x have recorded. His wife .sjiid that he would often remain up all night before the pier-gla.ss, endeavor- ing to realize, by gesture, modulation and action, the conception at which he had arrived. At last, after repejited refusals of the management to appear as Sir Giles, Sixying he was not ready yet, and must still give more time to the rehearsal, he consented to have the play announced, lus now he felt he c(nild do it justice. And what was the eftect of all this hard work and unceasing study of the part ':" For- tunately we know all about it, although Keaii jilayed it on that memorable evening more than fifty years ago. It wa.s one of the grandest eti'ects ever witnessed on the English stage. AVe have accounts from various eye-witnesses of the .sensiition and the enthusia.sm the presentation of this char- acter produced, when Keari, full ripe for the occasion, came upon the stage as Sir Giles ; and some of the triumphs of that wonderful evening in ix(il, at Drury Lane, are well known. It was obscrx cd that when he walked in from the wings there was thai in his burning eye which betokened greater deter- mination than usual, and Ix)rd Byron, who wa.s in a st!ige-bo.\, whispered to the poet Moore, that something dreadful was written on the great actor's countenance, something more suggestive of power even than he had ever noticed before. And never till then, in the history of the stage, wa.s there witnessed such an e.vhibition of forceful endeavor. Throughout the whole play Kean bore himself like a lury ; but it was reserved for the last scene to stamp an impres-sion which existed during the lifetime of all who were present. The great actor himself shook like a .strong oak in the whirlwind of his pii.s.sionate vengeance, as displayed in the closing sentences of the play, and when he was removed from the stage, his face, turned lo the spectators, was so awful, that Byron was seized with a convulsive fit, and fell forward pale as death it.self. The solemn stillnessofthe house was broken by screams of terror fron\ boxes and gallery ; the pit ro.se en masse. Mrs. Glover, an actress of long e.vperience and great talent, fainted outright on the stage ; Mrs. Horn, who was also playing in the piece, staggered to a chair and wept aloud at the appalling sightof Kean's agony and rage. Munden, a veteran on t\w boards, who played the ])art of Marall, stood so transfixed with a.stoni.shment and terror that he had to be carried oft" from the scene by main force, his eyes rivet<'d on Kean's convulsive and awful countenance. The actor that night was master of the situation, and profound and earnest .study gave him the due to his great a(>hicvement.

" j Naher shtmted to him to stop a nioninit an.l I listen; and Daher, sure uf nut beini;- nvcrlakin, stopped. I "You have taken uiy horse.' said .Naher; "since Heaven ha.s permitted it, I still wish you well, but I conjure yon never 1.. tell any oni' ln.w you obtained him. " '•And why?" asked Daher in surprise. •■Because many a one whose heart -is pitiful would pass by distress, suspicious of deception.

When he saw him approaching, mounted on his beautiful steed, he hailed him in a weak-voice, and implored his aid, saying he had been unable for three days to move from that spot, and was faint from hunger and thirst. "Get on my horse behind me," said the kind- hearted Arab, instantly, "and I will carry you where you want to go." Daher pretended to try to rise, failing to do so, of course ; and Naher, as he expected, dismounted and placed the beggar in the saddle. Instantly Duller paused, in utter shame. Presently he turned, rode back ti restored his horse — and thus began that lasted for life. '• Pull out. Bill!

But before the juvenile could get in motion, she had him by the ear, and he was laid up with a hot box. A I'UMf IN TIIK WOODS, A\' 'K'NIC. lirk.'d ill 1 man, cease your jciiiriiriLrs.

Cummins, d i; Vim should bear constantly in mind that iiinc- leiilhs of us are, from tlie very nature and iieeessities of the world, born to earn our liveli- hood by the sweat of the brow.-' Wbat reason have we then to presuiue ibal our ebildreii are not to do the same':' If tliey lie. as now and then one will be, endowed with extraordinary jiowers of uiiud, those powers may have au opportunity of developing themselves; and if they luver have that opportunity the harm is not very great to us or to them. Nor does it hence follow that the descendants of laborers are always to be laborers. The path upward is steep and long to be sure. Industry, care, skill, e.\cellenee in the present parent, lay the foundation of a ri.so under more favorable circumstances for the children. The children of the.se take another rise ; and by-and-by the descendants of the present laborer become gentlemen. This is the natural progress. It is by aftemptiilg to reach the top at a single leap that so much misery is produced in the world ; and the propensity to make such attempt has been cherished and encouraged by the strange projects that we have witnessed of late years for making the laborers virtuous and happy by giving tiiem what is called education. The edueatioii wbicli 1 speak of eoii.si.sts in bringing up eliildreu t.i labor with steadiness, with care, and with skill ; to show them how to do as many useful thitigs b;s possible, to teach them how to do them in the best manner; to set I belli ail example of iiidiislry. .sobriety, cleanli- ness, and iiealiiess ; to make all these habitual to them, so that tbey shall never be liable to fidl into the contrary ; to let them always see a good living proceeding from labor, and thus to remove from tlieiii t\\r leiiiptafinii lo get at the goods of otiieis by violi'iit or tiaiiduleiit means, and to hypocrisy and deceit.

There are few more romantic loealities tlian that jiart of the Valley of the Raiuapo which is traversed by the Erie Railway. Eleven lakes, perched high en the mountains that are a distinguishing characteristic of this portion of New York state, send their tumbling outlets into the valley and form the stream known as the Ramapo River. There are forty of these lakes within a few miles of the spot where the Erie Railway enters the valley. The entrance is made at S'lffern, through a great gap in the Hudson Highhxnds, which extend north-east- ward, in rugged peaks, some of them 1,800 feet in heiglit. The railroad presents the ever varying scenery of the valley to the tourist for a dist.iiice of 16 miles. The river courses meadows and ravines, tumbles over mcky b.itttun. himI .-iicmIs out here and tliere into beautiful lakes. Fixed ledges of lofty rock, and Imj.' |iil. s (!' (iioiuinus boulders tower above and lie along its borders. No region is more intcivsting liistmiLally. Among its attractions is the bold mountain peak, near Ramapo Station, known ;s the Torne. Upon the summit of this mountain General Washington stood, while the American troops were quartered in the valley during the Revolution, and survevcd the movenK-nts of the British fleet in the; New York harbor. There are nniiieroiis Innl.lin.js Mill stiiii.liii- tiiat wiv luiilt Inl^re tlie ];.\nlntinn, and many relics of fortitic-Lti. HIS ;iii,| cim-ihiii nts, IhIw.vh Sullrni and SlnMislniri;'. Tlic re-inu is the very home of health. Its ;iii- is .vspeeiiilly aiitagniiisti.- to brniuliial and lung diseases. It is the same air that makes the Cornwall mountains, on the Hudson, the favorite retreat of invalids. Good hotels and boarding houses may be found at any of the Erie Railway stations in the valley. MINNEWASKA AND AWASTING. Among the highest and raggedest jieaks of the Shawaiigiink mountains, in Twister county, N. Y., where only a few years since the foot of man had seldom trod, are a number of most remarkable and charming lakes. One of these, Lake Mohonk, has been accessible for several years, and tourists and permanent summer guests have found an excellent stopping place at the large hotel there. It was only a year or two ago, however, tliat a still grander resort was made known to the outside world. This is Lake Minrnwaska, ]h n lud on the rocky crest of a Shawangunk peak, near "Sam's Point," the gic at inui.il helL:lit that ov. rlu,,ks the entire AVall- kill Valley, immediately beneath it, and eominands an uiinlistrueted view of the greater part of the Eastern and Middle States. IMiiniewaska has a lovely companion in Lake Awitsting, near by, the outlet of which K-ijis over a jireeiiiiee lllO feet in height, forming a cataract of beauty and grandeur. Our Artist's pencil describes these rare Ulster county mountain retreats in a moie jil.isin- and satisfactory manner than can be done with the pen. They are reached by a inn>t riiioyiMc drive, on a way that commands as many wonderful glimpses of scenery as any of the lainnns White ^lountaia drives. The railroad station is New Paltz, N. Y., reached by" tlie Erie Railway direct. A RAILROAD IN THE CLOUDS. The most novel and pleasurable summer excursion route in this country is that offered by the New Y'ork, Lake Erie and Western Railway over the fiimous " Gravity Roads " of Northern Pennsylvania. These Railroads are a series of inclined planes, and reach an altitude of 2,500 feet above tide.. They traverse a country of rugged mountains and glens; waterlalls, gcirges, streams and valleys greet the tourist in magnificent variety. One ofthe.se mivel mads cnnncets with the Erie at Hone.sdale, Pa. It is owned by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, and climbs the Moosic mountains to Carbondale by one route, and returns to Honcsdale by another — both offering continuous delight to the tourist. The sketch of the '• Shepherd's Crook " in another place, which is a view of tins road, will give an idea of the character of the scenery along the route. This "crook" is the nintrmied in this country for actual transportatiim basiness, having been completed in 1829. The other road of this kind open to Erie tourists extends from Hawley, Pa., to Scranton, and is the property of the Pennsylvania Coal Company. It offers a round trip of 70 miles. It also climbs the lofty IMoosio range. The scenery is inde- scribably grand. The peculiarity of these roads is the absence erf locomotives in running trains, hence the entire freedom from cinders, dust and smoke. They are ecjuipped with luxuriant coaches of miniature patterns, and with open excursion cars. The trains run up hill and down at the rate of 25 miles an hour. At the points where the summits of the mountains are reached the view from the cars embraces a panorama extending over thousands of S(|uare miles of the most beautiful country. Both roads take the tourist into the heart of the romantic Lacka- wanna Coal region. SCENE OX THE SCHUYLKILL. ;| '"^ SUBURBAN HOMES. For a distance of 30 miles the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad extends throngrii a I country especially aiiapted in every way to the Tvants ol' those wlio, while engaged in business in ' Ni'W York and neighboring cities, desire to live amid the quietude and healthliil surroundings of siilmilian retreats. Within the distance named the road traverses the fairest portions of three historic and ]]iituiLS(|ue valleys — the Passaic, the Paramus and the Eamapo. The advantages ottered in these lijcalities for rural homes have already been seized by thousands, but there is still room lor • thousands more among the tields, hills, streams and lakes of the region. Choice building sites are in the market constantly at very reasonable prices and terms: cottages, ready for occupancy, can readily be secured by tenants, or purchased at low rates; and parties who prefer to board may be accommodated the year around at convenient, pleasant and home-like hotels or private residences. t No other road running out of New York oilers so many attractions to seekers after suburban homes ;»s the Erie. The stations included in this near-by territory are as follows, with their distances from Jersey City : Rutherford Park, 9 miles; Passaic, 12 miles; Clifton, 14 miles; Lake View, 15 miles; Paterson, 17 miles- Hawthorne, 19 miles; Ridgewood, 22 miles; Hohokus, 24 miles; Allendale, 26 miles; Ramsey's, 28 miles; Mahwah, 30 miles; Suti'ern, 32 jiiles. There are the best of schools and churches of all denominations in these places, and vital statistics show the entire region to be one of extraordinary healthfuluess. MOUNTAIN RESORTS. The New York, Lake Eric and Westtiu Railroad is peculiarly favored by the country through which it passes in the matter of those resorts which are always most in demand during the summer months — resorts among the mountains. The Hudson River Highlands, the Schunemunk, the Com- fort Hills, the Shawangunks, and the lofty Catskill, spurs of the Delaware valley, are all made easy 1 and quick of access by this road, lite Hiyhlands, which are encountered at Suft'ern, 32 miles from New York, are followed for 19 miles by the Newburgh Short Cut branch of the Erie, which joins ' the main line at Turners. Central Vulley, Highland Mills, Woodhunj, Jiiountainville, Cornwall, New Windsor and Kewhuryh are among the resorts visited every year by thousands. They are from 1,500 to 2,000 feet above tide. Forty crystal lakes, on the borders of many of which stand magnificent liotels and cottages, are perched among the ancient crags, on the summits of which these resorts are located. They are stocked with the gamest of fish, and amply supplied with row and sail boats. These Highland retreats are annually sought by suflerers from pulmonary complaints, who find great ] relief in the pure air of the mountains, many invalids have been completely restored to health by a few seasons spent in among the Highlands. The late N. P. Willis, the poet, was the first to dis- co\er the remarkable curative properties of the mountain air of the Highlands, he being himself (■(inipletely restored to health from an advanced stage of consumption. The historic attractions of the Highlands, especially those of Newburgh and New Windsor, are familiar throughout the country. Tile full biauty of the Highlands can only be enjoyed by a ride over the Erie branch that follows tlicir rugged sides and penetrates their storied valleys. The Schunemunk Mountains are a spur of the Highlands, and are the Northern boundary of the Ramapo Valley. Turner's .Station, with its pleasant surroundings, and il/on»oe, 48 miles from New York, are stations on the Erie from which the many hotels and boarding houses, high on the I range of hills, are reached. i The Shawangunk Mountains cross the state of New York in a north-eastward direction, through the counties of Orange, Sullivan and Ulster. They are a continuation of the Blue Monn- ; tains of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In Northern Ulster they become the famous Catskills. I The main line of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad begins the ascent of the Shaw an- [1 gunks 65 miles from New York, and cro.sses them at Otisville, at an elevation of 1,500 feet above 1 tide. The Montgomery branch of the Erie, from Goshen; reaches the base of the Shawangunks in Ulster county, at New Paltz, 88 miles from New York. In this latter vicinity are .some of the highest peaks of the range, Paltz Point, Sky-top, Eagle's Clifi", and others, nearly 3,000 feet high. The re-sorts among these lofty hills are reached from New Palz Station. Princijial among them are Lake Mohonk and Lake Minnewaska. {See Lakeside Jiesorls.) Easy conveyamres run to the sum- mit of the mountains. The road up the mountain commands such sublime views that the steepness L '.II of the way is rather a zest than an annoyance. The crags are rugged and the lionie.s of peqjetnal breeze. From their lofty tops an expanse of counlry enibraeiug the W'allkill, Konilout and Shaw- angunk Valleys, the farthest Cat.skills, the broad Iliidsoii, the great mountain-ranges of tlie Eii-stern States, and the di-stant Alleghanies, is hrouglit beneath tlie eye. Near Lake MinuewjLski is Sams Point, 2,700 feet in lieiglit, and the al)riipt terminus of a spur of the range. Its tiu-e is a perjjeu- dicular blulT of white roek, visible from the main line of the Erie at Otis\ ille, :J0 wiles distant. In the Shawangunks, reiiehed by the main line, is Gui/manl, in a most j)ictiiresque spot, and with the attractions of lake and streanr, ius well as mountain. Guymard Mineral Si)ring is a great attraction for invalids at this station. There are grand mountain drives about Guymard and a large modern hotel to accommodate guests. The place is HO miles from New York. From Port Jervis— itself surrounded by high, breezy summits, — several noted siiiumering places among the mountains are reached. By a drive down the Delaware Valley.— a 7(i. Cochecton and vicinity oiler a grand field for the antiquarian, as near it was made one of the lirst white settlements in Pennsylvania, and it became the .scene of many of the most bloody and dramatic episodes of the early days. At Luclcawaxen the Honesdale Branch of the Erie connects with the main line. Honesdale, the western terminus of the Branch, is one of the most interesting and attractive points on the entire road. It is the starting point of one of the celebrated " Railroads in the Clouds," over which tourists are whirled without any vi.sible motive power, o\er mouulain.s 2,.5()0 feet high. From Hawley, ou the Honesdale Branch, another of these wonderful railroaortions of the Shawangunk. Near LmUc Awasting, Awasting Falls, and the celelnatcd ice ca\cs of Ulster County.

Chautauqua — "the gem of western New York"— is now one of the most fashionable and popular resorts in the country. All of these lakes are visited annually by thousands.
