Tho morning Of 18th Of May, 1874,
was drawing nigh-the time when !
should bid my friends farewell, leave
the land Of my infancy, and SGT sail
for tho "City Of Elms," The immor-
tai morning dawned. After a hasty
breakfast; aud ere the sun was shed.
ding his silver light DER the world, !
bid adieu to the dear ones at home. and
was on my way to Clarksburg, West
Virginia, intending to take the eastern
bound train 10 Baltimore that evening.
l arrived at the depot 10 due time ; and
after waiting q few moments, tho sound
Of the approaching train was heard,
aud the next instant tho train wa.
dashing in sight. A person who has
never experienced IL, cannot realize
what q sad thing 1t is to leave home.

next thing on programme was to OBJ

whlch must have been two miles away.
l. was easily found, however. After a

Two dollars ,,a less in my pocket, ! ar
rived. Tho train was soon to leave.
! looked around for my trunk, had it
checked and purchased q ticket to New
Haven, Connecticut. Ia a few min
titcs l was again comfortably seated 10
the car. There was now beautiful
scenery. The old Chesapeake stretched
out on either side for miles. We were
now passing over tho grand trussel
works. The susquehana was now pre-
sensed to our view, and soon the Della
ware Bay. Sometime 10 tho after
noon We passed Philadelphia on The
west, then crossing the Delaware river,
we we're soon up to Trenton, tho CAPT.
toll OF New Jersey. We travelled from
there to Jersey City; and | must say
1t is q delightful country. Many
pleasant sig ht, are seen going from
Baltimore to Jersey City. / believe
there is not Q tunnel through which we
had to pass in going from Baltimore
to Jersey City. We stopped at New
ark, Elizabeth, aud several other sta
tons. and reached Jersey City about
3 o'clock z. III. Here the cars were
totally deserted, and by inquiriug l
found passengers VINO wcrc going on
farther would have to take Ferry
Boat aud cross tho Hudson river to
New York. l walked dowa . long
platform which was crowded with peo.
pie. A fcw minutes walk brought me
down to the ferry landing, and a fee Of
8 cents was required before stepping
aboard the boat. l thought the fec
very cheap TO ride across The Hudson.
When l got to the landing the boat
