dressed IN their most gauiy costumes. the birds
sing their sweetest song, the sun shines with
spiendor and ali nature seems To dwell az har-
mOny. We are eager 60 see the falls We viii 60
down Ia Prospect Point. Now. be careful. You
are standing within SIX feet OF the American Fails
leaning over the wall aud gazing down, down,
down into the mist aud river below.
Turn your eyes TO the Rapids. Imagination =
Instantly arrested, aud you can only admire ia
silence. Your soul Is full OF what you would utter
but your tongue is too weak,
We will now cross the river TO Goat Island and
take a look Mt the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls
About thrcciourths 81 all the Nier in the river -
GA this side We will go down 10 the very brink
Of the falls, out those large rocks no danger,
but rather conspicuous situation. A walk around
Guai Island Is worth the time and trouble, but We
VIII go down 10 Suspension Bridge aud get ticket
for Canada.
This viii be our FIRST breath in foreign country.
Grand old bridge isn't a.? Eight hundred feet
long, all iron, and hung on wire Here we are IN
Canada. Now you can see the falls from slfnrc to
shore with one sweep OF the eve. The AR seems
about the in the United States. Have cK-
perenced no difficulty in breathing. The grass
looks just as green. but do not think the hlTds
slug quite sweety. Guess we had better
wend our way back 20 the arms OF Liberty, sat
down in the shade 81 our own hg-tree, aud thank
