CONCLUSION.

Palais Schimmelmann, April 16th, 1860.-My journal is at an end, for to-morrow we leave Copenhagen. I have faithfully transcribed what I have seen, what I have visited, and my impressions thereon. My wanderings through the kingdom of Denmark have to me been of great interest. Still, recollect, I do not recommend this tour to every one. The boy in the Blues-à moustache naissante—the youth late escaped from college, with leave of absence, and a life of hard military duty, or the prospect of a country parish before his eyes-may far better employ his time. Let him stop his two days at Copenhagen, fish his way up Norway, shoot it down Sweden, quaff the champagne of the "mère Cliquot " at St. Petersburg-he'll get it nowhere else-buy tur quoises of the Tartars at Moscow (they'll all turn green a week after), on to Constantinople, poke his nose in a harem garden and get shot at, or say he did—ten to one if he's believed, if its true-and then on, on, avoiding all the interstices of travel, seeing what is best worth visiting in the world, sowing his wild oats, liberally, not wantonly-anything better than a later crop-and return to his own country and "do his duty in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call him.” But for those more advanced in life-who have been everywhere and have done everything-who abominate being whirled for pleasure across the fair face of Europe by a locomotive-who detest German baths and their wickednesses-who, feeling they really know and are judges of what is grand and beautiful in this world, can afford, without losing their dignity, to be pleased with

what is not perhaps first-rate-who like to drive through a country, to study its history, its customs, and its legends -who are content to take people as they find them— who prefer civil and kind treatment, with moderate prices, to fawning obsequiousness and robbery-to such people I can conscientiously promise much pleasure, much interest-especially if in spring-time-in their travels through the ancient province of Jutland and the fertile sea-girt islands of the Danish Archipelago.
