men on exhibition; you recognize the
foreigner and turn away in disgust.
Taking barge for twenty-five cents
to the monument, mile distant, we
ride through pleasant streets, shaded
by trees but dusty and vegetation dry
and parched by the drouth. You
scarcely realize the size of the colossal
statue of Faith, on the top of the mon
ument, looking earthward out pointing
heavenward. OF three side statues,
only one has been completed and plac-
ed here. Memorial HaIln with its an
tiquities, historic paintings and relics,
occupies much time. "The Landing"
and "The Embarkation," two very
large central pictures, tells the tale and
touches your heart, but You must climb
Burial HILL" visit the resting place of
those heroes, decipher the quaint old
inscriptions and deaths head on those
tOmb-stones, so mOss-eaten and clip
ped away by the relic-hunter, admire
the new monument erected by the de-
scendants of elder Cushman and fami-
ly, or stand by the enclosure, sacred to
the memory of that pioneer mission
AIRY, DR.. Judson, and his wife Emily.
CHANGING up, a most charming view
of the harbor, islands and mountains
delights your eyes, and HOlland-was
it not who said, mature is vocal if
we listen well" and we lOnged to spend
hours in such spot and place hasti-
ly glancing to our right, the tall spire
of the Standish monument at Duxbury
met our gaze, and below the place
where the French cable was laid, and
this brings pang of regret that the
brave leader, Miles Standish, could not
have foreseen what wonderful re-
public they were founding.
But time flies and we fastened down
the First street, now called Leyden,
and tried to imagine those nineteen
log huts first erected by as many fami-
lies, and contrasted with the oldest
house now standing erected in 1868.
Three o'clock and all the struggling
passengers were again on the steamer
with faces turned hOmeward. You are
surprised to find so many Bostonians
who have visited Plymouth the first
time and it reminded us of the aston
ishment expressed by many tourists
from distant states on visiting Mount
| Washington, to learn that so many
persons in its proximity had never as
cended to its summit and enjoyed the
grand views.
Sabbath day Rev. DR.. GOodell of st.
LOnis preached in Rev. Reuen Thomas
church in BrOOkline to Il very good
sized audience for this season and
many people from the city went to hear
him. Last Sabbath DR.. Lawrence from
Chicago preached in the Warren ave-
nue. Baptist church. Mr.. Clifford, the
pastor, is travelling in the west, his ex-
penses paid by a wedding fee, a most
timely present. DR.. Twitchell of
Cleveland, Ohio, occupied Shawmut
Congregational pulpit, and Rev. Mr.
Bates, one of the twelve missionaries
under appointment by the A. B. F. NJ.
to Mexico, spoke in Park street in the
evening, giving quite a full and de-
tailed account of the country, "Our
western neighbour" the future pros
poets of which are encouraging, owing
to this great system of railways, which
are being built and projected, the
wealth of its mining resources, just be-
ginning to be developed, the great
roadway discovered by Humboldt, des-
tined to be such a thoroughfare, and
what was especially interesting, the
landed estates, which were nine tenths
owned sometime since by the Roman
Catholics, but are now cOnfiscated by
the government for its own protection
and well being, and prominent persons
desired and stood with extended hands
ready to welcome the Protestants. He
spent some time last year in visiting
and examining the country and was
enthusiastic concerning its future.
