UNDER THE SHADOWS OF TRINITY.
TIE c1TT OF TIE DEAD.
To the occasional visitor Of the great City OF
New York there are countless objec1s which de-
light and surprise, many that pain and astonish
but to the dreamer. idler, or antiquarian, tum-
ble~down rookerlesy or ,time-bliBtered, decaying
buildings looming up through the years. are rich
NTH associative interest.
Sauntering down Broadway through the crush
Of the hurrying crowds to the head Of Wall
street, whose cease!ess din resounds 50 loudly
throughout the whole commercial world, one will
almost 1esistlessly pauEe before the City Of tho
Dead to pass beneath the shadows OF Trinity.
Although the edihce, grand. unique, and i'm
posing, has stood but little more than four de-
cados, yet, as it rests among the dead Of two
centuries, and its dim aud hme-worn walls,
gathering additional interest from its present
strange location, rise monastlo and solemn like
q holy man among a restless people, it cannot
but compel mute reverence, aud compel strange,
weird thoughts that fantastically follow each other
like it's own shadows fitting upon the broken
nead-stones over the choked and leyeled graves.
Such thoughts Will come to you aud me who are
strangers to it but to those who have looked
upon it daiiy for years, giving it no heed or
place among more practical matters, it has be-
