a striking feature Of Westminster, to
the stranger, as he approaches, is the
spires Of its Churches. These beauti.
full temples, dedicated to the worship Of
the Most High, say to all men =

Another striking feature of the town,
when one gets into it, is the piles OF
brick, lumber, and other building ma

town is not finished and ready to be
walled in; but that she is spreading and
enlargiug herself and that a brilliant
and prosperous future is before her.
