It looked down upon the'whole tengthof the one wide, level street along' whufi the' vib lage was situated, though the patrWrom ttin valley below up to this temple of learning was tortuous and steep. At it name im ports, it was red; though niucfi of the bril liancy of it hue- had disappeared with the year and blasts that had sweyjt over it. A Howlong it.bad flourished I know not: it had been the scene of my mot Iter's ' schol days, and, my father, too,, had sfudied Pike and Murray wiihio those walls. Jt was the most wonderful of placet to my young mind. I had beard of it from my first re collection, and at three years of age, I was sent on my first pilgrimage thitherward. It was no insignificant journey to a child l:ke me throngh deep sand ail across the valley and then the steep ascent The latter, however, was delightful, for the pathway led me among rueffed, brown recks, half o'er grown with met a,, and here and there on every sunny aide, -some wild flowers might be found, and the green grass was cool aud pleasant to my weary lilt! feet. Wiihin the sch o1 house there was a solemn kind of look jhat half frightened me at first, though the' fear soon faded out.- The-walla had (ge go it teemed) been plastered ; bttt then 'tber were huge nk-d places, brown and sooty, from wh'ch the plaster had fallen long ago. jTlie windows were high and -small, and had the look of sentinel., so spectral was the t&Jy light that came to , little ones.
