that is another exhibition Of the soul
cursing effects of intemperance. There
goes poor fellow whom those wretches
have robbed and imbruited, and are now
about TO imprison because "he isn't res
pectable company about a hotel" Good
Heaven, when will humanity be human
"Water," waterw Lady in silks
reached her hand for cup, saying, "Mr.
-, have you'll didn't hear what
whereupon the getleman handed her a
bottle containing something that looked
like -, from which she poured about
two (wines, ! presume to one water and
drank it in the most approved style, with
the remark, ats awful unpleasant riding,
don't you think so?' TO her escort.
AT 4 90 we were at Suspension Bridge.
/ stationed myself on the platform of the
car in which / had been riding, while
crossing the Bridge, and admired and
wondered at as much as | could in the
time, both the Bridge and Falls. AS the
train, East, started at six, had but little
time to see, and Of course can not des-
cribe much of Niagara scenery. You
know there is a saying that it takes two
10 see beauty in nature" and as | am
still unit, concluded to wait until such
time as | should have company to take
a very extensive ramble about this noted
spot. Although very tired, and not a
little sleepy, employed all the time that
daylight lasted in observing and admiring
the country through which | was passing.
| am yet 10 see more inviting spot, TO
any one in quest of comfort pleasant sur
roundings, rich forms, and all that makes
rural life happy, than western New York.
For man TO leave home, there, for the
West, is, it seems to me, simply streak
of American Stiffness. At about hall
past eight we reached Rochester. Day
light had gone westward, and the stars
came pecping out, one 10y one, and while
nusing upon the past, the scenes which
had lately surrounded me, and Anticipating
those that hoped soon TO enjoy, l drop
ed into the arms Of Morpheus, and was
soon alike unconscious TO the danger that
always attends the traveller, as the acci-
dent that occurred on the M. s. r. r.
at about that same hour, forcibly reminds
me, and noise Of the swift moving train
was aroused from my slumber long
enough, at Rome, 10 see not what we al
would expect to see, wero we TO visit the
home of Plus, long candles and brilliant
torches, and school for the prophets, and
long robed and sanctimonius looking
priests, censors of incense, and vessels o.
holy water, but what was equally foolish
a man blowing himself through clario
nette, to amuse a few simple ones who
were manifesting their delight by going
call hands round"
Once moro darkness had faded out into
daylight, the Ruler had taken in the star
lamp that had been hanging all night sus
pended from the vault of the heavens
and Sol, with his fiery chariot, was jus
rushing up from behind the good old hill
Of Vermont, when we came whizzing owe
the Highlands, and looked down upon tn
big willows and antiquated residences o
Albany. Here found my friend, "JoHN,
b." who | learned had been my compan
ion from Geneva. We passed on togeth
er to Springfield, where we parted, h
for Amherst, l for up North" w
arrived at Springfield at 1915 A. M
and / found that had until 20 P. M
to wait. l at once determined TO i'm
prove this opportunity by visiting the .
S. Armory. visited all the shops wher
the deadly weapons are being made, eS
cept one. l found the workmen gentle
men, kindly showing me all the machine
ry employed, and explaining the metho
of its operation in the formation of tb
different parts Of the arms. The mul
