Dear Crescent: trip up the Mississippi river
is an occurrence so common that it seems almost like
folly to make it the subject Of letter. Yet of the
thousands who have sailed upon its waters very few
have described for others the incidents and emotions
crowded into the trip. The old river is too much
neglected 1t does its mighty work for commerce,
rolls along silently with the contributions Of the rich
est valley in the world, and say it is good old,
1hardworking, practical rver-yery useful and very
LARGE and to be praised ever praise the bridge
which carries them over in safety Tourists give 1t
the gobye Whoever read of a trip on the Missis-
sippi by Lord Smokes or Lady Snacks that was not
6osh throughout, and in any way showed proper
appreciation Of the genius of the stream? / am not
SO ambitious as to expect to succeed where titled
lords and renowned authors have failed, but never
theess, in the trip to ST. Louis there was much enjoy
ment-both in the scenery and in the fitting thoughts
thereby awakened. Others may have experienced
similar emotions, and may find pleasure in reading as
it were reflex Of their own minds.
To man wearied and depressed with the cares of
le-and stealing away from dusty streets and heated
walls, long after the winter birds have fedhow de-
lghtfu is the first breath of fresh air. One almost
feels the wrinkles clear up from his brow the head
is raised, and the lungs expand to catch the first
breeze laden with the perfume Of flowers and the
gladness Of the forest. The noble steamer too if
endowed with sensiblity, shakes the town from its
heel and with gathering speed pushes its way through
the grim and turbid waters. How swiftly we glide
by the ships at their moorings-and see fading away
the turrets, and steeples and domes of familiar land
marks. There are no tears shed, but we turn away
with familiar nod of good.bye-satisfed that in
our wanderings we shall meet with few places better
or iearer than the Old Crescant .i
