Now, how ever, to bas let us into a war. These usual lectures of his entering his travels abroad 'were "the net irksome tusk of the whole your. They were "altogether out of his line."!! In fact, it was remarked at the time that Mr. Spurgeon did nos acem quite at home in Rome, and that his impressicca of Ita lianark were a title arade. But having to deliver at another lectura to his friends in the South of London, Mr. Sporgeou lete foreign countrice, foreign art, and to reigners to thoir own devices, and devoted himself to giving a gbert count of a trip through some of our English counties, which he! tcok in June last. Here he was quite at home, Mr: Spargeva and a friend of his started off in carrigo belonging to the latter, and drove down through Surrey and Bumpshire to the Now Forest. They seem to have. had a plakj annt exeraise, through berofiful sonegut a delightful time of the year; and it would sure ly be the baseet ingratitude if Mr. Spurgeon had spoken in nagthing but doquent terms of such a trip. Wo do not tour that Mr. Spur geop met with any strange adventures during the progress of bis plineson or waggonette;, we do not hear even of one of the horses having cast a shoe; but there is no qualification of the terms in which be expressce hin satisfaction with this botte-journey; there is no speak of cloud in the serene sky which, looking mek, ha beholda atretching over the country which they traversed.
