First sentence: WHEN there comes a warm autumnal rainy day, it gives us great enjoyment to go over (omnes solus) to Hoboken, and repair to a gable-angle of the Swiss chalet, built by the tasteful STEVENS, and there, under an open 'weather-board' canopy, gaze for hours upon the distant city, spreading before us like a map, and our noble harbor and bay, covered with tall ships, their tapering masts and cordage pencilled against the sky, or the lighter craft, with their white sails glinting for an instant in the fitful sunlight that steals through a broken cloud.
