[No. 1. Vol. XXIV. RELIGIOUS COMMUNICATIONS. For the Christian Observer. THE PENSIONER AFEW years since, for the restoration of my health, I resolved to visit the waters of Lake George, and the country adjacent. This section of country is well known; for, independently of its neighbourhood to the fort and battle-grounds of Ticonderoga, where many a warrior bled in our Revolutionary struggle, its scenes, in themselves, are objects of great interest. The passing stranger can scarcely refrain from feeling very sublime emotions, as he rambles over the grounds, and surveys the ruins of the old fort, now almost gone to decay. He cannot well refrain, if he possess a tolerable share of imagination, from calling to his mind the heroes and struggles of other times. He will fancy he can almost hear the savage yell, and see uplifted the murderous tomahawk ;can almost hear the roar of thundering cannon, and see fall the groups of the dying. But grand, awful, and interesting as may be the emotions which imagination and recollection awaken, while recalling the deeds of days gone by; they can scarcely transcend those which he feels, while he surveys the sublime scenes opened to his view, in every direction around Lake George. The beautiful transparency of the waters, and the grandeur of the neighbouring mountains, which seem to rise This affecting narrative was communicated to the American Christian Spectator in June 1823. Our readers on both sides of the Atlantic will thank us for giving it wider publicity. CHIRST. OBSERV.

What traveller has passed this way, and did not feel himself transported at the sight of Rogers' Rock stretching its proud summit to the sky? Often does the stranger, as he is gliding swiftly in his boat down the lake, when he comes in full view of this rock, request the watermen to rest on their oars that he may contemplate its sublimity in silence. I can distinctly recollect my emotions when I first saw it. I had heard its story, and the circumstances which gave name to it, and fancied I could almost see the bold Rogers, and his daring followers, descending its steep and then icy declivity, with the ra pidity of lightning, and the astonished and blood-thirsty savages, shouting above on its bleak summit, and looking down with the keenest vexation upon those who so late had been their prisoners, and who were to have been burnt alive on that very summit, whence none but themselves would have dared to descend. It was such scenes that I intended to make my study and delight, as I left home, and in two days arrived at the borders of the lake. If any of my readers have passed from one end of this lake to the other, they may have observed on the eastern shore, about ten or eleven miles from the outlet, a little cottage. It stands at the bottom of a narrow glen, a few rods distant from the water's edge. A little cove B |
