Editor or The Graphic:— From Liverpool 1 took the train for Bowness. this beautiful little village on Like Winder - mere. 1 sailed across this placid lake, surrounded on all sides by mountains covered with green grass, and as the sun shone upon the mountain sides and peaks, the effect upon the beholder was such as to produce a feeling never to be forgotten. A stage Coach, with seats on top for twenty-four persons, awaited us. We rode eighteen miles over splendid roads between the mountains, until we reached Keswick. During the day, we passed the home of Dr. Arnold, of Rugby fume; we also passed Wordsworth's cottage, and at Keswick 1 saw the home of Cole eridge and visited his grave. Wordsworth wrote of Grassmere, one of the places we passed, as follows: “The loveliest spot that man has ever found.” Every person who visits England should come to this lake district. The next day I sailed over Ulswater, and this lake was as beautiful and the scenery us line as its sister lake. Dumfries was my next stopping place. I had visited Stratford, the home of Shakespeare, and was anxious to visit the land of the poet Burns. I first visited the monument erected to his memory. 1 then entered the church of St, Michael's, where he was accustomed to worship, and next I entered the Mauso leum erected over his remains. I then went to the house where he died, after which I called on Mrs Brown, the granddaughter of the poet, and 1 also met Miss Jean Brown, a great granddaugh ter of Burns. She presented me with one of her cards as a me mento of tny visit. I then visit ed the Globe hotel, where I saw many mementos of the poet. I next went to Ayr, where I visited the cottage in which he was born He was born in the part of the bouse known as the kitchen. The room has an old-Tashioued fire place, with an iron rack for hang ing pots, and the floor is covered with flat rocks. I next visited the “Auld Kirk,” from which the witches came after Tam O'Shan ter. I crossed the Brig O’Doon, where Mag lost her tail. A splendid Burns memorial in the church, near by the Brig O’Doon At-Kilmarnock, the place where Burn’s first poem was published, a magnificent monument of red sandstone has been erected. Glascow was the next city in my route through Scotlard. I visited the Cathedra! and saw the towering monument erected to John Knox. I rode by the Ginscow University and saw many of the places of interest. I vis'ted the Fairfield Ship Build ing Co.’s works. I sent in my card and I was admitted. This firm is one of the largest ship builders in the world I saw a number of first-class cruiser*, troopships, and torpedo boats being constructed. After a good night’s rest, I was prepared to sail across the far famed and historic Loch Lomond and Loch Katrine. A shower interfered with the pleas ure of our passage over Loch Lomond, but all the mists had cleared away and Loch Katrine presented herself in royal beauty with her evergreen mountain peaks on each side. Walter Scott, Stoddard, and other writers have written and sung of the beauties of these lakes, and I fully endorse all they have said. A ride through the Trossachs with a party of twenty-five, on the top of an omnibus—some from Australia, some from New Zealand, some from the United States, and other lands—brought us to the station, where we took the train for Edinburg. 1 stopped at Sterling Here I visited the field of Bannockburn, where Robert Bruce won the victory over the English force. I then spent an hour in Sterling Castle, which has played such an im portant part in the history of England. The field where Wal lace overcame the English forces was pointed out. On an eminence a monument to commemorate the valor of Wallace has been placed which can be seen for miles around, and it acts as a great in centive to the youths of Scotland to emulate the deeds of daring of this great hero. In the graveyard at this place is buried Prof. Henry Drummond whose writings are read with such interest throughout the world. The Martyr’s Monument is here to be seen. It was erected to the memory of Margaret Wilson and her younger sister Agnes. Mar garet was oound to a stake with in flood mark of the Solway tide, and she died a martyr’s death rather than renounce her faith. At Oxford a few days ago I looked upon the spot where Lati mer and Ridley offered up their lives rather than renounce their faith in Christ. They were burnt at the stake. To day I visited the home of John Knox, the firm defender of the faith. 1 lingered for a moment in the litt'e room set apart as his study, where he offered up many a fervent piayer. 1 spent a short time in the church, where regardless of Queen Mary and other enemies of protestant ism, he boldly spoke the truth. John Knox wrote: ‘ From Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other inspired writers, I have learned t.o call a tig a fig and a spade a spade.” Day by day 1 am visiting magnifi cent cathedrals dedicated to the service of God. Surely, tbest things ought to arouse and in spire me to live a more conse crated life. I am now in Edinburg. It, like Rome, is situated upon hills. I arose early and visited the mar ket. I then went to the hall where the Woman’s ’A orld’s Christian Temperance Union is in session. America is well represented. Wherever I go, I meet A mericans On tomorrow, I will hear the Rev. Charles Sheldon, wiio wrote “In His Steps,” and also, John O’Neal, the great London preacher I visited the Castle, Holyrood Palace, Parliament House, Edin burg College, and Roslin. The old Parliament house is now used for the higher courts. As I en tered the building, a novel sight presented itself to me About forty barristers, or lawyers, w c re promenading up and down the hall, talking merrily to each other, with white curly wigs on and dressed iu long, black gowns. I asked what all this meant. I was told th it no one was allowed to practice in the higher courts of Scotland unless he was thus arrayed. Would not this style of dress be becoming to my friends, Col. Thompson, Col “Prop” McLendon and Judge Cotter? I went into one of the court rooms and the. Judge was dressed in the same way, lam stopping at the Royal Hotel on Princes streen just in front of a splendid monument, erected to the memory of Sir Waltet Scott. The guide book says Princes street is the most beautiful street in the world. Oa one. side rise business’ houses: on the opposite side is a beautiful park, and beyond is to be seen the old city, with its towering Castle, its St. Giles’ Cathedra . Parliament House and Holyrood Palace. In this historic and class 5 c city I will spend Sunday. How often I have wished for my friends, as visions of beauty and grandeur presented themselves, so they might enjoy these things with me! I expect to visit Melrose Ab bey on Monday and then 1 will return to London, s’oppiug at York. Then I will go to Paris. Very truly, A. W. Lynch, Macon Birmingham RAILWAY COMPANY.
