West Shore, in process of building below Newburg. We again looked for the house of the authors, Misses Warner, and it lay directly up from small boat house at the brink of the river, and we were obliged to use keenest discernment to get a glimpse of 1t through the forest of trees. We saw it. while others just anxious, missed it. Be- fore Nyack we were shown Haverstraw bay where Is the widest part of the river. Five miles in width it is called here.
 Sing Sing looked pleasant, notwithstand- ing its prison, which was pointed out by the pilot, at the waters edge 'gThere, he said, any one can have ten years for refreshments and board free, summer or winter" The old Dutch church at Sleepy Hollow, POO years old, was the next mark of interest We made the acquaintance of some very enter tanning persons, who had travelled in many parts of the world and they said that the Hudson river was incomparable with any other, the Rhine not excepted, which, aside from its ancient castles and ruins, was infe- rior in elegance and grandeur of scenery.
 Our final landing was made about the usu- al hour, (half-past five, and we hastened to the Annex ferry boat, and were soon on our way to Brooklyn. The high waters of the ferry and the numerous boats all lighted were fine sight. At that very hour the confagration of the large curtain factory in South Brook lyn was at it's height and lens grandeur to the scene The ferry house. at we neared it, threw into the waters it's red. green and yellow lights, which appeared like meteors in the water. Fares were taken at the landing, where we found our horse car among lots of others waiting. We now had a half hours ride and quite different from our late peaceful one over the beautiful river. Here was the great city's hustle, and it seemed as if hustle and racket must be the chief end of existence. The tiny newsboys jumped aboard the car when in motion, thrust1pg the evening papers in the faces of passengers. The city looked brilliant and everybody wide awake. We were, ere long, at the house of our friends There we found quietness, comfort and grateful rest. Next morning our life in Brooklyn began, and we spent the charming day in pleasure.
 We spent Monday afternoon in looking over different portions of Brooklyn. We called on friends on Brooklyn Heights. The evening we passed with Mrs Howard ('Anna Holyoke, '') a lady of fine literary ability, and leading contributor to ''The Household" and other publications. She is of very ta1- ented family, and entertained us with music and singing social converse, and the sight of many curiosities, among which were very old paintings and relics One box she showed to was made by a prisoner of the Inquisition, of the meat which he ate, and material sup posed to be human bones. The lady's mai den name was Cutts, and she is of a long and arlstocratlc lineage. We painting of President Holyoke, first president of liar yard College. Also we saw the coat of arms of the Pepperell family, another branch of her ancestry. An aunt of the lady, Miss Cutts, assisted in entertaining us, and she is a poet We are at present interested in her poetical romance, "Grondalla." A young son of Mrs. Howard is a rising author.
