BEAUTIFUL KENT.A EAMELE THROUGH THE GABBER OT

ENGLAND.

A Hre-un Teeming with Wealth andLcvelinest.Her Many Rains of

Ancient Churehei.

'» b'n hms! letter !n 'leeton Herald.!Two weeks in Kent, and narrow as

may be ber geographical limits she is

magnificently erand and wide in herfertility snd hospitality. No writer htsever exaggerated ber magnifi .lenee,cither in landscape or historical in*terrst. Kent not only bears the name

of being the .. Garden of England," andbeing pre-eminent in ber associations con-r.ecttd with the history of England, butthe contains more ruinsof an ol 1 eccle¬siastical risst and more prereforuii-tion churches whore the regular ser¬

vices are held to-day than any othercounty in England. In ftct, there ll a

speciil and peculiar interest in nearlyevery village snd town in Kent, andtho antiquary, archieologist, student,or tourist may always find pleasure andinstruction in this part of England.

For two weeks I walked throughKen!, and this is the only way to tho¬roughly enjoy this county. There are

quiet, comfortable inns, distant fromeach other by only three or four hours'walk. These walks are through wind¬ing lanes, over roads narrow yetsmooth, hard as Hint, and as clean as a

well-scrubbed float. Either sile ofthese pleasant highways aro bankedwith thick hedges of beautiful flowers.Estates large and small, under the mostperfect state of cultivation, all oldand retaining the appearance ofthree centuries ago. are on every side.I could not see a stone as largeas a roan's band on any ol these greenfields. What a contrast to the stub¬born stony acres of New Hampshiresnd parts of Massachusetts! Thenthere are the ivy-mtntled towers scat¬tered fccre and there; each are a-so-

eiatcd with some interesting fact of a

luilliant past. There is the old coun¬

try parish church nestling under the oldoaks or elms; most of the villages ofan ancient date arc piously guarded forfear of modern improvements ; and thegTind old manorial mansions whi-h forcenturies have been the scents of greatimportance to the kingdom, of festivityand intrigue, and of w:m- statesmanship.

Here is old Swinglield, the spot whereRta* John laid down the crown of Eng¬land. It was within thc walls of thocommandery of the Knights Templars,afterwards occupied (1312) as a pre-ceptory by tbe Knights Hospitallers, or

Knights of St. John. The arms of theorder are yet visible in the rooialas ofthis ancient buildin.'. BOW a fari'ih.iuse.

There in Ilever Castle, which promi¬nently stands in tbe midst of thc broadgreen meadows of the Weald of KentIt is a strong castellated mansion, builtin tho time of Edward III. Ootafoliami luxuriance aro exhibited in all ofthe surroundings without and within :

but thc chief interest of this placi is on

account of its being the hjine for miltyyears ofTHE BEAUTIFUL Aftftl iim.KVN.

Here it was that Henry Till, madelove to her, which made her his wifeand which brought her to the scatfold.William Caxton, thc great Englilhprinter, was born in the " wealds,"and the beautiful .summer residence ofCharles Dickens is one of the many ob¬jects of interest. lt was duringone of hiswalks that he selected Cobham, whi-hho immortalized in Pickwick Papers.Tb* Duke of Edinburgh's summer homeis in this country, while hundreds ofvast estates, owned by prominent mem¬bers of the nobility, meet the eye inevery ramble.

There is Chiselhurst, where NapoleonIII. and his son, who fell at the hand-.of tbe /.ulus, lie buried. TunbridgeWells, always the seat of fashion andpleasure, is at present particularly at¬tractive on account of its being thetemporary hom* of Comte do Paris andDue d'A utiiale. the recent exiles ofTrance. Greenwich, fatuous for a longtime aa one of England's great navalstations, and Woolwich as the war de¬pository for great ordnance stores, are

both in Kent, while Dover, Margate.Leal, Ramsgate, and other places are

justly celebrated as popular Englishseaside resorts. .

'Ihe geologist can also spend manydays with as much pleasure and prolitin the sear, h nf his Btudies as thearchio-ologist. Special interest of this cha-lacter is found among the great chalk¬pits of Kent. There is one of thesepitl in Camden Park, in which, whenopened in l<-*.r<7, were found numerousskeletons of dogs, wolves, oxen, pigs,horses, and other animals, and thewhole was intermixed with shells ofthe leii's siemoralis. These relics of a

prehistoric age were buried undermasses of squared chalk and large flint,apparently the walling up of the pit,which had yielded te tho gradual opera¬tions of nature. This pit is supposedto be of Celtic origin. When liomincivilization spread over England it wasi ni ably abandoned, and animalsroving through the dense woods may-have fallen in and lhere remainedduring all the centuries.

but as this series of letters belongsexclusively to cathedrals, ancientchurches, and monastic ruins, I shallcontine myself in this and a subsequentletter to those ecclesiastical sights whichought to be of interest to every church¬man.As I said before, no other county in

England can compare with Kent in herecclesiastical glory. She boasts of theoldest cathedrals, Canterbury and Ro¬chester ; of tho oldest church in Hag-land, St. Martin's, in Canterbury, whileruins and remains of abbeys and otherbuildings tell plainly of a former greatmonastic power and influence.Among the abhoys which were once

famous and remains of which are now

interesting I will mention a few tbat Ivisited. Lesnes Abbey, founded andendowed by Augustinian canons in tbatwelfth century, and became one of theobjects of Woohoy'¦ rapacity in 1524,and one of Henry VU L's seizures, ilnow represented by only a few crum¬

bling walls covered with thick greenivy. It lies on the edge of Abbeywood, only twelve mild from London,bayham Abbey was founded about

tbe year IflOO. end nourished untilthe reign of Henry VIII., when this,with All other monasteries in England,was despoiled. Its ruins aro very line,and carefully preserved by its presentowner, the Marquis of Camden. Thechief attraction of these ruins is thelittle church made serviceeble out of a

portion of tbe Abbey, And presentingmany pointe of architectural interest.A massive gateway, hung With luxu¬

riant ivy, t dwelling-house, which was

formerly part of a monaUic chapel,with various subterranean passages, aretbe present remains of Bradsole Abbey.Tbe Carmelite friary of Aylesford, ofwhich many picturesqie ruins exist,has a peculiar interest in the feet thatwhen Urary Till, made so many pri¬vate individuals rich by his bold deliv¬ery into their bands of aM this richmonastic property til over Engltnd, hepresented thia friary to the lover ofAnne Boleyn; but the son lost themall, at well ss his bead.

There are many other ruins of a mo¬nistic order in Rent which ere of more

er lets in'crest, while crumbling wall,of churches of a prereforniaU-m periodare numerous. Hardly e year pissesaway uilete gome long-buried relic mtten or twelve centuries- is unearthedand many e barn, cartiiga-hou-e, sta¬ble, ard in a few instances the spaciousdwelling-hour.* itself, i. built of the¦tones which formerly belonged to someone of the monastic BefMlRgl of Kent.

But, after all, it is the churches ofKent which make it ao inti res*.mg tonot only tbe churchman, hut to thesludent-touiist, for it is frura tho re¬

cords of miry in old church in Kentthat lar;:e volumes of the biographicaland historical .story of England are found.lt is surprising to see how intimatelyconnected are the Church and Slate ofEngland in eve* a political s-onso. Timeanil spire will allow but a brief men¬

tion of seine of these churches.There are more edifices connected

with the Church of England in thecounty of Kent than there are Episco¬pal churches in the State of Massachu¬setts. Within the crypts or under thechancel or nave of almost every one ofthere old churches lie the bones of manyprominent characters. It ia also singu¬lar to notice that there wa. not so muchbigoted feeling in regard to the burialof a man iu church or churchyard riveor ,*ix centuries ago a. there is inthis so-called aiivanced state of civili-zalitn and Christianity. It wouldnow ic in very mi gular if a requestwas made that the bodies of EdwinBooth or Mrs. Vinceut (whom Iremember thirty years ago at the Bos-ion Museum) might be interred underthe chancel of Old St. Paul's in Bos¬ton. It is doubtful if even a tabletwould bo allowed on the walls; but youcan go into but very few of the oldenchurches of England unless you lind themonuments or tablets of bishops andactors, playwrights ami archdeacons,authors and generals, admirals and art¬ists. It ia pleasant to feel that therewas an idea of levelling or equality indeath in those- .lays of the Church.I was parlicii]*!ly impressed with thisfeeling as I visited Eltham and her quietchurch. This wa.s a most jolly placecenturies ago. The ruins of Elthami'alace remain, and as one looks uponthe walls and inquires of its formerhistory lie cannot tail to bo impressedwith the intimate relationship of clergyand laity, of Church and State, in

former days. It was hero that HenryIII. and bia Queen (1270) made high( hri.-imas revels, ami that about thesame time Anthony Bede, Bishop olDuibam and Patriarch of Jerusalem.spent much of his time, and died herein LUI.

Kiugs and queens,princos and nobles, have sojourned hero,and Cobham Hall has been the scene ofgrand, sumptuous entcrta;:ime!it, suchas few manorial residences have experi¬enced. The walls of tho ancient churchin Cobham arc covered with brasses ofBtuisual interest. They arc in memoryof all classes of "ociety, from a consta¬ble of Rochester in 135 I, to John de Cob¬ban, the founder of Cobham Collegeand church. Tho Church of St. ICerjMagdalen consists of a stately Normantower, a very large chancel, and threeaisles. The porch entrance is very cu¬

rious, and the steps which lead to thealtar aro made of encaustic tilis ofgreat antiquity. It was built in 1360,and everything connected with it is ot'thc most solid and beautiful character.

But I mus; close this letter of a fort¬night in Kent, every hour of which hasteen of a most interesting and instruc-tive.nature ; and in cloting I cannot re¬

1st. LoaS Glob*¦ Pmaoeiat,]Two weeks ago the GLbe-Democrat

spoke of the principal constellationswithin tlfty degrees of the North Star,ind of some of thu more prominent orbsin each group, gi. ing directions for find-ir.g them, and pointing out ihe me.oa

by which thoy might be identilie 1 whenfound. Those OOfl -tillations nero UrsaMajor (tho Great Bear), I'r»a Minor (theLittle Bear), Draco (tho Dragon), Cassio¬peia, Cepheus, Perseus, Pegaeei tthiFlying Horse), Cygnus tihe Saan), An¬dromeda, and Lyra (the Lyre). The in¬dividual stars spoken of were Polaris(the North Star or Pole Star), Vega, theleading luminary in the constellation ofthe Lyre, and Deneb, the principal orbin the Swan. To-day tome of the prin¬cipal star groups and individual starsvisible at this time between K o'clockat night end li o'clock, snd situatedsouth of the Lyre, except the most

southerly ones, will be similarly tre.te 1.AK< Tl'KI'S.

Vega, it will be remembered, is thesteel-blue first-magnitude star which isalmost directly in the zenith of personsin this latitude about 9 o'clock at nightat this period of every yeer. Abouthalf-way between Vega and tbe west¬ern horizon shines a star even mon

brilliant than Vega. It is of a pale-reddish hue, ind carmot possibly bemistaken for any other orb in the west¬ern .-ky. This is Arcturus, the lead¬ing luminary in the constellation ofBootee, or the Cowherd. Arcturus ranksfifth in order of brightness amongnrst-rosgnitude stan. Sirius Rtml*first, being tho brightest ofall the fixedstars. Thia orb sill not be visible be¬fore midoight until November. Thevariable afar Eta, of tba constellationof the Ship, ranks next to Sirius inbrightness, Canopus of the Veeeel third,Alpha of the Centaur fourth, and Arc-tin ui fifth.

Arcturus's distance is morethan seven timtfl ts great, or aboutI'M 'rill,-mo oi'MOOO miles. Thesodis¬tances- are, of course, utterly incompre¬hensible to the human mind. A ray oflight, travelling at the inconceivable ve¬

locity of MG.OCO miles in s second,gould be about twenty-six years intraversing the space which separatesthe earth from Arcturus. Vega is nit

quite so far tway as this, being, in

ttrms of the velocity of light, tbouttwenty-one years' distance, so to speak.

About half way between Veg* andAi n.s is a collection of third-andfourth-magnitude stars arranged in tbeform af a semi-circle. This is theNoiihcrii Crown.its namo being sug¬gested bj the distribution of the**start. This constellation is notablufrom the fact that in it a star blazedout suddenly to brighting of tho se¬

cond magnitude in 186tl, and thenslowly faded away and was lost toview by the naked eye. Tbt*was believed by BOfltl amateurobservers at the time to be a

tar. which had, os it were, sud-dei,ly sprung into fliUttctct. Research,however, revealed the fact that it hadbeen recorded in Argelander's cata¬

logue of stars as of the ninth marni-tni.'c, ihoi.gb it appeared not to havebeen noticed by other astronomers un¬

Between tho Northern Crown and theI.)re is a collection ol' third-, fourth-,and tilth-magnitude stars called Ii *r-

coltt. This group is invested with au

inti rest far beyond whit it would ap¬pear to merit, jadgiag solely from its

gf aui the apparent brightness ol

ita individual fOtflthfts. The tateflttin question sj rings frost tho tact thatmany astioiiomeis believe that thj sun,w nh i's fani'ly of wini ll, tt B*tbtf frithail the stars belongil.g to die la0Vs*,>uin, are sweeping through a

the direction of tbat little group of ap¬parently insignificant orbs would prac¬tically be demonstrated.

South of the lyre is seen thrco stars,rangeu in a nearly straight line, themiddle one of which is of the first ung-nituds, and the other two of tho .-econd.This is the constellation of Aquilla theEagle Its central stai is Altair, whichis classed as sixteenth in tho order ofbrightcoss of the first-magnitude stars,
