The boat was now at Randalls Island. The soldiers
stepped Ashore to the music Of the Union, and rmng
In line, each Guard supporting two Blues the varied
colors and sizes making picturesque effect, marched
up the road. The Light Guard were drawn mp in
double column-more than 300 boys, all clean and
similar who made manual salute. The mon then drew
up, and salu,ed the boys. And very amusing was the
wind then high, which took the straw hats of the lit
tie warriors-tbs real infantry-snd whirled them
around and away, causing undignifed pursuit The
homage of the little girls arrayed before one of the
budings, was sweet to every heart. Fifty still small
voices Joined in patriotic chorus about the Flag Still

Led by the Light Guard, the visitors went to the

said he and his fellows were surrounded with all that
is desirable for health, comfort, and enjoyment. he
hoped the visit Of the Blues would be the means Of c-
mentipg the North and the South. He invoked the
blessing Of God upon them and wished they might have
a cafe return to the bosoms of their families. Capt.
Anderson responded. His heart was 50 foil that he
could scarcely give ut,erance to his feelings. How
thankful all the Boys should be They should daily
lift up sbeir hearts in gratitude to God for their birth
in this land. They might all live to be Its President.
Look stesdfastly TO high goal Rise above farmers
and mechanics; and mignt the Almighty's richest
blessing rest upon each one of them
The gymnasium was visited. Little things twisted
around poles, and SWING by ropes, and when the big
things went and tried 10 do likewise they came to con.

the solemn duty of the day-forgot that here is frac.
tured country to be oemented-ard overAowed with
pity and envy Of he'll lessness and innoceucs. The
little ones were happy too. 1t was holiday for them.
They smiled for pennies, and called upon Dodworth
for music and wound their dimpled arms about the
.taw art legs.
Was not this scene better for the Blues than ce.
ment They were plainly of that impression, and
proposed to present the Randels Island Light Guard
with standard of colors, in commemoration Of their
visit. About two o'clock 1t was ended. All were
aboard the Satellite. Another steamboat went along
and saluted The gun sounded. The Boys cheered
frc the receding shore. Going to BlackwelPs leland
the negro drummer aud fer Of the Blues performed,
as well as white musicians, without the white mu-
siciaps reward Of applause The Lunatic Asylum was
not entered but the soldiers tramped through the bed
rooms of the old paupers. Some OF the feeble women
were in their beds. Their wan faces and shriveled
limbs afforded entertainment In the prison there were
some persons, Just come down. who eating their
fret meal in confinement and disgrace, to whom the
sight of the brave soldiers seemed not pleasant. We
protest againit the brutality of these shows.
At last leaving all the wicked to themselves, the ex-
cursonists steamed cbeeruly do vp among the green
islands and the shady shores, with steamers dasbng
by, to the fair domains of Mr. B. NJ Whitock. From
patriotic considerations that gentleman had asked t'e
privilege of extending hospitality to the Southern sol
ders and their guardians; and although there was
some misrepresentation of the time of its acceptance,
bountful provision was made for their entertainments
A cannon welcomed them The grounds are spacious
AID uudulang, and pervaded with GOODNESS. The men
marched through with music, and were brought TO
halt on the lawn before the mansion now in process Of
erection. The first art of hospitality exercised WAS the
Photographic art. A camera was raised by Broad
vsy artist and the Blues and the Guard were formed
before it in plaoons, all the standing rigid with
arms shouldered while the impression was taken.
III Ell they stacked arms and went TO the stables which
are Justly considered great attraction OF the place.
They contain sixty horses. Is there larger private
stud in the country, North or South There are vehi.
cles of every supposable build The Blues examined
the sleighs with curiosity, several of them having
never seen seghs before. Refreshing punch was pro-
vided Just without the stables. The dippers were
very delicate idea They the cilabashes such as
sre used In the sunny land which fanatics have en-
deavo red to rend.
Under the old trees that stand around the family
mansion tables were extended. The guests seated
themselves. But, first, they were welcomed in front
of the house. fresh supply of cement was produced
while the men were quafing wine. Sergeant Mercer
of the Blues, and Mr.. Henriques, President OF the
Guard, referred to certain clouds which have lowered
over our country but are disspatei by the bayo'
nets of their two companies Thsre were cheers Tor
almost every glorious word.
Councilman Lent was around. He made speech
in behalf of the city. He said the Blues bad come
