If he decline to thread the entire length of the ravine, he may make the circuit of the public road, the side of which borders the brink of the gorge, permitting him to trace its Avindings as he proceeds, and look down into its dizzy de]3ths.
'' Then Jie can descend from the road by the per- pendicular ladder to the bottom of the ravine on his* Avay to the second fall. The gorge swells upward and around him into a magnificent amphitheatre, echoing and reechoing with the noise of the distant rap...id and fall. Suddenly there breaks upon his MR. Welch's accouxt. 25 view a cataract, making a single leap of two hun- dred and fifty feet from a pathway sixty feet wide and a hundred feet deep, which it has cut throngh the solid rock. Sometimes, when the gorge is filled with water, it is a raging cataract, shaking the firm hills with its thunder. 'Now, when the stream is low, it forms one of the most beautiful cascades that any land can boast. It resembles the Dust-Falls of Staubbach, which is the pride of Switzerland ; though inferior in height, yet it is superior to it in some other respects ; its waters are nearer milky white, the height is not so great as to dash it completely to dew-dust in its fall; it has just water enough to re- tain some consistency, and yet descent enough to make it thin, and light, and soft, as a pendent vail of snowy gauze, with which the air is fondly sporting and which occasional gusts from below lift into suc- cessive graceful snowy folds, inwrought with colors of the rainbow, which float awhile before the eye ere thev sink into the seethino; lakelet that circles below.
