money, which We could only account for
by the lsteness Of the hour. Yes, that
ride actually cost us nothing, though We
subsequently found it the only instance
where We we're not charged exorbitantly.
After registering our names, we took an
individusl and collective survey of our
selves after our day and night ride. Were

amendment, "without regard to color"
who should We have found to take us in,
for New York, naturally dark, had got

and the whites of his eyes shine lumin-
ously, Iowa had an artistic streak down
each side of his nose, and around his
chin, while his eyes seemed sunken into
two black csverns. On Illinois the car

at myself, but after listening to few
comments from the others, sought the
shade of the piazza, the others following
my example.
As We stood there, the full moon, we'll
up in the heavens, giving to nature q
beauty which she only can give, and the
grand old falls booming away at the
right, made up mind that sleep was out
Of the question until I had got at least q
glimpse of the spray, and announced my
intention of seeing what could that
night, the others declaring such to be
their sentiments exactly. In vain the
clerk said that it would be of no use, that
Niagara was fenced n,.and that we could
see nothing; we expressed our intention
of looking over, under, or between the
slats of that fence, and started of down
the silent street. The roaring every mo-
ment grew louder, until we came to the
fence, as the clerk had said, but, as he
forgot Cd to say, there was q small gate
which stood open, and through
which we at once passed, down some
wooden steps, along plank walk, and
over short bridge to q sort of summer
house built on the rocks out in the stream,
short distance above the falls.
To say the sight was grand is q
feeble expression. Before, behind, on
either side rushed the water, like herd
Of frightened buffalo driven over cliff,
the waves struggling and tumbling
against each other, in the mad hurry
to get over and past the rocks (;
here. one striking large rock is stayed
for moment, rearing up mass of what
looks in the moonlight like molten silver;
then another, hurying up behind, dashes
against it, and they both 60 over, rolling
and roaring towards that last awful leap,
leaving beneath the rock what looks like
. chasm, deep and dark, which is again
filled up, and the same performance is re-
peated. Looking up the river, - far a.
