passage is supposed to have on each
side a perpendicular wall (luw*ldh|
to an unknown depth, as no bottom
has over been found. Below the Dalles
the river is broad and has sufficient
water for- large steamers. Some miles
below, hoWcver, there is another rap

some points, a way for the track Mad
to be_ made by blartiug the rocks
which rise perpendicular from the
water's edge to the bight of five bun
’’ died feet, and on a lodge of rook thus
formed, the track is laid and the can
run along a perpedicular wall on one
side and the river on the other* Some
places over hanging rocks threaten to
fall and crush the entire train. At
points where the rocky wall it little
further from the water, the rocks do
tumble, many tons ait a time, oocbt
pletely covering up the trade so that
trains cannot pass. To provide against
this diffoulty, at these dangerous
points, the road has been moved out
> over the water’s edge, a wall of rock
haring been built np from the water
for this purpose, and yet it is exceed*
ingly dangerous. *
A merciful Providence brought us
safely through as many others have
been and yet we should not wonder if.
hear of a dreadful catastrophe at that
point at any time. The danger, how*
ever, could only be wholly removed
by the expenditure of vast amounts of
money., To cut away these rocks, the
workmen have to lec themselves down
hundreds of feet by rope from the top.
In passing down this river we see col
umns of rock rising hundreds of feet
high. Quo appears as if it might be
as high as theWashington monument

comes ruihihg over a perpendicular
rock from a bight of 700 fest, and in
its fell it has the appearance of a
white vail, hence the name, “Bridal
Vail.” Thejoamstop here 15 minutes
and the passengers get out and feast
their eyes upon this; grand sigbtwhich
if once semi, will never be fbi*gotten,

,Thebou,r of 3 o’clock having, been
assigned for the discussion of Sunday
school w<arjc9#nd inteiRstR Rev J $
Smith introduced the subject by ad*
i^csng the subject of regeneration;
ttH^tfoning the possibility of the child
growing up into Christ without under
going . a specific and instantaneous
phJSuge,.a»d knowing beyond a doubt
the time and place thereof. His doubts
and fears of the perpetuity of Mothodj
ism iwere conclusively answered by the
Rev R R Morris, through his very
pertinent reference to the 26th article
in our book pf discipline, and his in
sisting upon that portion that main
tains that “We hold that all children
kingdom of (rod,” (Art, 26, sec. 2,
item 1, page 82.) The subject was
further debated by Prof Price. Ink
few eloquent'words he sustained the
doctrine of the gradual regeneration
of childhood, and the possibility of
them growing up into a living and
savma faith in Chnst without their
