TWO ROADS
Head the course, one whose principal features were
described IN yesterdays HERALD, teeming with the his
torical landmarks and reminscence OF bygone days;
another less suggestive of the past but aboundng
less in beauteous scenery Leaving Hoboken we rido
ap gentle slope, lined by cosy little villas and few
brick residences. Most of these dwelling places
tenanted BY the German aud French settlers in tho
aeighborhood, whose first care, on attaining a
ssierably Independent position, is to purchase
aa abode wherein live rent free. All these
cottages are neat and in good order, the few yards
sf green sward surrounding them carefully
ssvascd aud the childish faces peering forth from the
windows OF the houses give evidence Of the tranquil
happiness of the family within As pass further up
tho hill splendid panorama is unroad TO our sight
Looking down see the tree tops the waves OF
the Hudson giisenng in the sunlight and beyond the
houses and spires of the Empire city, overhung by the
haze that forms canopy such as IS always stretched

beautiful nook, and envy the shade of the pleasant
groves scattered about the glen al ieet and The cool

ecves stopping TO look the ay Leading 70 the
