AN EXPERIMENT.

Wuute Jonas had been telling the story
of the two ways of going to sea, the whole
party of travellers had gradually emerged
from the mountain district, and descended
into a spacious and beautiful plain, or rather
valley beyond. ‘They could see, many miles
before them, a large river flowing through
the plain, with villages, and richly cultivated
fields, and green meadows, spotted with elm-
trees, on either side. The children admired
the beauty of the scene, and after riding
about twenty miles in this open country;
they arrived at a large town upon the banks
of the river, which was the end of their
journey. Mr. Holiday soon despatched his
business. Jonas helped him, about some
writing that he had to do, the whole of one
day. He was copying papers almost all the
time, and Rollo, and his mother, and Lucy,
rambled about during that time, in the
fields.
