spoil the prospect.

_Interlaken_.--Jungfrau splendid, _but_ not free from 'ARRIES and
'ARRIETTS.

_Jerusalem_.--Interesting associations, _but_ travelling on mule-back
is a trial to born pedestrians.

_Kissingen_.--Out of the beaten track, _but_ query rather too much so.

_Lucerne_.--Lovely; _but_ comfort takes a back seat if the
Schweitzerhoff is full.

_Madrid_.--Plenty of pictures, _but_ cholera in the neighbourhood.

_Naples_.--Famous Bay never off, _but_ scarcely the place to face an
epidemic.

_Ouchy_.--Beau Rivage beyond all praise, _but_ environs uninteresting.

_Paris_.--Always pleasant--_save_ in August.

_Quebec_.--Possibly attractive to the wildly adventurous, _but_
scarcely worthy of a jaunt across the Atlantic.

_Rome_.--The City of the Popes and the Cæsars, _but_ not to be thought
of before the early winter.

_St. Malo_.--Quaint old Breton port, _but_ journey from Southampton
frequently dangerous, and always disagreeable.
