PREFACE. 
 
 Gkntlk reader, when you open 
 Oft the pages of tliis vohnne, 
 Full we trust 'twill he of interest, 
 As a summer day of sunshine, 
 Full of pleasure and instruction 
 As the ocean is of billows. 
 It will take you on a journey, 
 On a rare and wondrous journey, 
 From the shores of Columbia 
 And the cities of New England, 
 To the vast and great Niagara, 
 Roaring loutl and roaring louder, 
 Till your ears are filled with thunder ; 
 It will take you to the south land, 
 View the cotton-fields and negroes. 
 View the marvelous plantations, 
 And the great Palmetto swamp lands ; 
 It will take you to the wheat-fields. 
 Through the rolling, verdant jjrairies; 
 It will traverse to yon mountains — 
 Mountains great and highlands mighty, 
 (jardens wonderful 'twill show you, 
 Manv a deep and wooded valley, 
 Many a fall of "Laughing Water;" 
 And from off the shores of Freedom 
 It will take you o'er the ocean — 
 O'er the mild and calm Pacific, 
 To the island land Australia, 
 Through its gullies filled with fern-trees, 
 Through its gold-fields and its cities. 
 It will lead you ever onward 
 Where the spicy breezes linger. 
 Where the Devil-dancers worship; 
 In Ceylon's all beauteous island, 
 Where the temples of Benares 
 Border on the sacred river, 
 
 Delaware, Ohio, April lo, 18S7. 
 
 Where the Taj-Tomb most majestic 
 
 Fills the looker-on with wonder, 
 
 It will take you in its journeys. 
 
 Then from Inilia's land of idols 
 
 It will lead you up to Egypt, 
 
 It will climb the lofty Pyramids, 
 
 Antl will view the Nile on flowing; 
 
 Into Palestine 'twill bring you. 
 
 Where the Savior lived and suffered, 
 
 Glorious land of gospel history. 
 
 Then to Italy, land of painters. 
 
 Land of architects and sculptors ; 
 
 And to France and mighty Paris, 
 
 Past the vineyards all about you. 
 
 It will onward take its journey, 
 
 It will climb the Alpine glacier, 
 
 It will sail the Rhine historic. 
 
 It will view the dykes of Holland 
 
 And old Briton's wondrous country. 
 
 Think you then this trip worth taking? 
 
 Would you see these marvels mighty, 
 
 View the strange and curious customs ? 
 
 If you would, then scan these pages. 
 
 Give them thought and deep attention, 
 
 And perhaps with pen and pencil 
 
 I may paint the moaning forest. 
 
 Paint the sad and heaving ocean, 
 
 Paint the mountains high and hoary, 
 
 And the rivers deep and mighty. 
 
 With these kindly words of promise, 
 
 Gentle reader, now I leave you, 
 
 And I trust will make the pleasure 
 
 Of the seeing and the viewing 
 
 Of these w^ondrous scenes and marvels 
 
 Yours, as much as books can make them.

*: . INTRODUCTION. ^^- 
 
 BY REV. J. H. VINCENT, D.D., LL. D. 
 
 ^M^G"^ 
 
 ';UT few words are necessary in introducing this volume to the "wide, wide world" 
 of general readers, and especially to that large part of it made uj) of persons who 
 
 £> have listened to the songs of the singer himself, Mr. Philip Phillips, a world- 
 
 CO. wide traveler, who has compassed the globe, reaching, perhaps, a larger number of 
 hearers than any other religious singer of our day. 
 
 There is a realm of classic music in which success has been sought and achieved 
 by gifted and ambitious singers. They have subjected their vocal powers to the severest 
 training, under the great masters of voice-culture on two continents. They have been able 
 to perform vocal feats rivaling in boldness and wonder the achievements of the athlete. They 
 have studied for immediate effect. They have sought human applause, and have won it. 
 The triumphs of a single concert have compensated them for years of patient toil and frequent 
 failure. Amidst the ringing plaudits of enthusiastic auditors, they find reward for persist- 
 ency, fatigue, expense, and patient waiting. 
 
 Art, in its highest forms, is to be glorified, .^rt may indeed be of man, but man is of 
 God; and true art is but the evolution, through human j)urpose, energy, and skill of the di- 
 vine conception and ideal. It is legitimate and praiseworthy to seek the highest attainments 
 in whatever line of life one has a peculiar aptitude, and to which he is by natural endow- 
 ment called ; for thus man may glorify his Creator. 
 
 Men sometimes achieve success in specialties of thought and labor without protracted 
 preparatory training. Native taste and tact sometimes produce the most delicate and power- 
 ful effects of high art. This is true in oratory as in music. John Summerfield, without the 
 training of the schools, held the multitudes who thronged to hear him, spell-bound by his 
 matchless eloquence. An Everett might well have coveted the magnetic power and jieculiar 
 grace of that young Methodist orator. 
 
 Bailey says in "Festus" that '-love is the art of hearts, and the heart of arts." The 
 burning eloquence of Summerfield, while resulting from natural power, was also dependent 
 largely upon the intensity of the divine love which dwelt within him. 
 
 Many of the early preachers of Methodism in England and in the far West and South 
 of our own country, derived their success from this twofold endowment— inborn tact and 
 divine impulse. Some of the finest oratory ever heard on this continent has been of this 
 natural sort — developed entirely outside of the schools. 
 
 In music we discover the same law. Culture exalts mediocrity. An ordinary voice well 
 trained gives pleasure by its clearness, accuracy, and the perfect control in which it is held.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Where genius enjoys culture tlie largest results are secured ; and where genius and a leriain 
 divine inspiration are combined — the inspiration of tender, genuine love — we find, even where 
 culture may be lacking, the success already mentioned. 
 
 The modern religious awakenings on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as the enthusiasm 
 enkindled during our civil war, now happily lying in quite a remote past, were largely at- 
 tributable to the i)ower of song — the song of the individual singer or of great choruses or 
 the thunder of song from the enraptured multitudes. Mr. Moody owes a large part of his 
 success to Mr. Sankey. It is doubtful whether he could ever, by any powers which he jjos- 
 sesses. have achieved a tithe of his success but for the musical inspirations excited by his coni- 
 ])eer, and the immense choirs which he had the wise ixjlicy to organize, .■\mong the human 
 instrumentalities which God has so abundantly blessed in this great revival movement, the 
 principal one is the inartistic, uncultivated, fervent singing of Sankey and his associates. In 
 the honors to be awarded in the future by a grateful Republic, the writers and singers of 
 our most pojuilar war songs will receive a share of the glory once bestowed so lavishly — anil 
 none too lavishly — upon the war president and his successful generals. The old "Glory, glory, 
 hallelujah! " " Your mission," " Tramp, tramp, tramp,'" and others of our patriotic songs stirred 
 the hearts of the people to their very depths, and rallied the masses of the people round the 
 banner of the nation. 
 
 In this department of naturally-endowed and inspired singing we must place the subject 
 of the present volume. In the war time and its revival services, at Sunday-school conven- 
 tions and elsewhere he has been a great blessing to the church and the nation. Untrained 
 in the schools, as indifferent to the laws of high art in vocal performance as was John Sum- 
 merfield to the mere theory of elocution, Mr. Phillips has, perhaps, done more than any 
 man of his time for the promotion of congregational singing in the churches — the kindling 
 of fervor in public conventions. He has been criticised by foe and friend, but he has gone 
 steadily forward singing his simj)le melodies, publishing books, crossing continents and oceans, 
 and inciting many a heart to renewed consecration and holy service. 
 
 From personal knowledge of Mr. Phlliips for more than twenty years, from intimate 
 association with him in Sunday-school and church work, from long weeks of travel in his 
 company on both sides of the continent, I am glad to be able to pay this willing tribute to 
 his genuineness as a man, his earnestness, fidelity, and conscientiousness as a Christian, 
 his simplicity and effectiveness as a singer for the cause of lumianity and Christ.

 Chap II- R I. — Xr.w ^■oRK. 
 
 t'i^^^J Hf) will grudge me a moment tu linger in ccintcmplation of such a rity? If I. af- 
 |''KV\|:'w" '"'"'' '^'-'^^ York to be tlie finest city in the world, no American will dis]nite with 
 """"^^■1; me, and no foreigner would wish to dim the native ardor of my pride. Rut I 
 
 'p shall not say that; for I have visited the hundred mighty cities of the East, and 
 have learned to know that no one city can claim pre-eminence in everything, and 
 that each has something which gives it a prior claim to fame. If Xew York has its 
 Fifth Avenue and Central Park, it has not the romantic history of a thousand years 
 whi< h makes every stone of some older cities a monument of greatness passed away. 
 But though I have walked the fashionable boulevards of Paris, the busy avenues of Berlin, 
 and the densely populated thoroughfares of London, 1 know I shall be forgiven by my friends 
 in each, if I give preference for my home city. New York. Before proceeding with New 
 York, let me just say a word or two about myself, in order that both my book and work 
 may be better understood. 
 
 In starting upon my new departure, three objects impressed themselves upon me as the 
 aim of my efforts, and I will here name them in the order of their importance : 
 
 First, — To cheer and uplift Christians by the sweet Bible promises; 
 
 Second, — To lure the erring or indifferent to Christ, by the charm of lofty sentiment and 
 pleasing melody; and. 
 
 Third, — To provide an honest living for myself and family, in such a way as to be able 
 to aid many Christian enterprises, without being a burden to any organization for my expenses. 
 
 With these objects in my heart, I have continued singing until now. 
 
 New York, as most people know, was originally a Dutch settlement: after which it ( ame 
 into the possession of the English, who gave the city its name, in honor of the Duke of York, 
 to whom, at that time, it belonged. Two hundred years, however, have passed away since 
 thin, and little remains to perpetuate the story of its origin. 
 
 Of my especial work in New York, 1 will give two illustrations, showing bright and dark 
 sides of New York life. The first of these was the occasion of my singing at the anniversary 
 of the Christian Commission, in the New York Academy of Music. I shall never forget the 
 trepidation with which I anticipated this effort. The audience, I knew, would be a most 
 brilliant one, and, to a great extent, it was an experiment to attempt their entertainment by 
 simple gospel songs. The elite of the metropolis were present — an assemblage of over three 
 thousand persons ; but soon the resjwnses from the audience reassured me, and I felt that I 
 was safe. The sentiments uttered in song found answers in many hearts, and the applause 
 was frequent and hearty. Even the New York ])ress ventured, on the following day, to speak 
 in ap[)roving terms of this "new departure ' in sacred song. The New York Triluiiie re- 
 marked: "Since the days of the ^\'esleys there has jjrobably been no man who has been so 
 popular as a leader and singer of sacred song as Mr. Phillips.'' 
 
 But to my other illustration: That which, to my c/wa soul, is the most satisfactory work 
 
 91 
 
A/iir yoa'a: 
 
 1 have ever done, was singing in the slums of New York, in connection with Rev. WilHani 
 Hooles' and Jerry McCauly's mission. Water Street is well known as one of ilic vilest (gar- 
 ters in New York. Here at this time, a plain mission-room stood, while a sinall band of 
 no!)le workers were laboring to save the fallen. One Sunday evening the little mission hall 
 war. crowded with Magdalenes and others of the most vicious characters of the Fourth Ward. 
 I was to sing for this strange audience. 
 
 At the time for opening exercises, the famous Kit lUirns, a notorious and desperate char- 
 acter at that time, heading a band of about thirty "roughs," marched iij) the aisle and look 
 a ])osition immediately in front of me. 
 
 I feared we should have trouble with him before the evening was over; but, trusting in 
 God, began the services as usual. For a time all went well. Kit and his companions list- 
 ened with marked attention through several songs. Then some one called out from the door : 
 ■•Kit, you're wanted." Rising at once in his seat. Kit sent back the ready answer: "Tell 
 
 "em to go to ." Not noticing the interruption, I went on singing of Jesus and his love. 
 
 Again the rough shouted from the door: "Kit, you're wanted outside.'' "I'his time the burly 
 leader stood up, and in his hoarse voice called back: "Tell 'em this is the first Jesus meetin' 
 I've ever been at, and I shall stay till it's out." This seemed to settle the matter, and we 
 had no more trouble from outside. During the evening I gave a short exhortation, pleading 
 with the unconverted to come to Christ, and begin a better life. So close was the crowd 
 as they sat around me, that I could hear some of the women say: "We will do better! 
 Yes, we will I" No doubt they were sincere in these promises; but only God and the poor 
 chained soul can fully understand the galling bondage of habit. Many a woman there would 
 weep with remorseful emotion over the tender allusions to "little baby fingers," and all the 
 motherhood in her be aroused to pledge itself for her own darlings ; yet, when to-morrow 
 came, the bad associations drew so powerfully that the old neglect and sin went on. ^Vhile 
 1 sang "Scatter seeds of kindness," it all seemed quite possible; but the to-morrow's test too 
 often found them unequal to it. Sin had left its mark of irresolution upon them. Only by 
 sovereign grace can such poor, weakened souls be held to a better purpose and life. 
 
 
 TERRACE, CENTRAL YAKK. 
 
 A few days after this, one of the women who attended the meeting on this .Sunday even- 
 ing, was found dnmk on the street. The Matron of the Mission, seeing her condition, man- 
 aged to get her into the mission-room, that she might be saved from the idle gaze of the 
 crowd until she came to herself. For some time she lay in a dnmken stupor on the floor, 
 and then the influence of her dram began to pass off Raising herself on her elbow, she looked 
 around, and, thinking .she was in the "Tombs" or "lock-up," thus began to soliloquize: 
 "Now, I'll have to stay here thirty days'' — that being the penalty for drunkenness on the 
 street — "my business will all go to sticks! I know the policeman, d — n him! When I get 
 out I'll show him ; " but just here, looking about more closely, she perceived her mistake, 
 and muttered: "I ain't in the Tombs after all. Where am I?" Then, after a moment: 
 "Oh. Fm in tliat jilace where they scatter seeds of kindness." She remembered the song 
 
A"a;;' yoj^a: 
 
 of the previous Sunday night. The Matron, overhearing her words, came to her and said : 
 "Yes, I found you on the sidewalk, drunk, and I knew the pohceman would soon get you 
 into the Tombs ; so I brought you in here to rest. Now, won't you come with me, and 
 have a good wash and a cup of tea?" "Oh, 1 am too dirty," was her reply, as she sur- 
 veyed her bedraggled clothing and soiled hands. "No, come; it will do you good," still 
 argued her new "friend; and, by her winning kindness, the poor woman was ])ersuaded to 
 go in, wash herself, and have a cup of the good Matron's tea. ^Vhile the abashed woman 
 sat there, a few earnest Christians dropped in, and a short prayer-meeting ensued, in which 
 she was hopefully converted to (lod. She held fast her profession of faith; and, after three 
 months, died in the triumphs of the gospel. 
 
 BLEVATED RAILROAD. 
 
 Since singing at the Academy of Music, I have given upwards of two hundred evenings 
 of song in New York City, besides conducting the music at numerous religious gatherings. 
 
 New York is a very cosmopolitan city. There is about it all the busy aspect which has 
 often been described. The Broadway is frequently dangerously crowded with traffic. I-ifth 
 .•\ venue is the finest fashionable street in America, and one of the handsomest in the world. 
 Here the cream of New York society live, and the evidences of wealth on every hand are 
 apparent. 
 
 Central Park, however, is the greatest boast of New Yorkers, and they have reason to 
 be proud of it. The ornamental gardening is one of the chief features, and it aids to make the 
 park not only attractive but picturesque. Pleasure boats of various sizes are seen ujion the 
 numerous lakes in the summer time, and with their little flags and the awnmgs of the larger 
 boats help to make a pretty and effective sight. From here we will take the Elevated Rail- 
 road, or L road, as the railway is called. 'I'his is a novelty which no other city in the world 
 l)resents. The line now almost encircles the city, the rails being on a level with the second 
 floor windows of the houses and places of business, and in some streets higher than this. 
 
.\/.;c ioA'A: 
 
 The fare for any distance is five cents, and it is said that over 300,000 ride daily in tliese 
 cars. Leaving the elevated at the Battery, we make our way to the harbor to get a glinijise 
 of the colossal statue of Liberty erected on Bedloc's Island. 
 
 This new wonder of the world is the largest statue ever i)roduted. l-iberty's torch 
 towers three hundred and five feet six inches above the waters of the bay. The conception 
 and execution of this vast work are due to the great French sculptor, M. Bartholdi, who 
 devoted to it eight years of his life and most of his fortune, and whose generous imijulses 
 prompted him to make such a gift to the United States. 
 
 l-'rom here we proceed to the Suspensi<;n Bridge over the East River from New Wnk 
 to the Brooklyn side. 
 
 BROOKLYN KRIDOE. 
 
 This is a gigantic piece of engineering, and the largest suspension bridge in the world. 
 The whole length of the bridge is five thousand nine hundred and eighty-nine feet. Its width 
 is eighty-five feet, which includes a promenade for foot passengers, two railroad tracks on whi( h 
 run passenger cable cars, and roadways for vehicles. It usually takes about twenty minutts 
 to pass over on foot to Brooklyn, the third largest city in the United States. The commer- 
 cial growth of the city during the past forty years is a wonder even of .-Vmerican ])rogress. 
 The warehouses here comprise the largest granaries in the world. The main business thor- 
 oughfare is Fulton Street, while Clinton Avenue is the handsomest street in the city, being 
 embowered with trees and lined with fine residences, surrounded by ornamental grounds. 
 Greenwood Cemetery should also be visited, being one of the finest burial places on the glolie. 
 Costly monuments abound on every hand, and, aided by rising ground, with lakes and shady 
 groves, a very picturesque scene is made up. Brooklyn is said to be a city of churches. 
 Here are the Tabernacle of Dr. Tallmage and the Plymouth Church of the late Henry 
 Ward Beecher, both of which should be visited. 
 
 Ch.\ptf.r II. — Up the Hudson. 
 
 IKE the pebble thrown into the lake, which .shows its influence by the ever-widen- 
 ing circles, so I, proceeding to widen the area of my operations, re -cross the 
 suspension bridge and proceed on my way up the beautiful Hudson, where may 
 be seen some of the most charming scenery in America, stopping at Yonkers, a 
 populous suburban town situated on villa-crowned slopes, and also at Tarrytown, where 
 Washington Irving resided. This name, he says, was given in former times by the 
 housewives of the neighboring country in consequence of the inveterate propensity of 
 their husbands to linger about the village taxerns on market-days. Sing Sing, the 
 prison, is also near here. 
 The next place of interest is Peekskill, and after leaving here the highlands of the Hud- 
 son are entered. These present a continual change of rich scenery. 
 
 West Fomt comes next. Here is the Military Academy, one of the first of its kind in 
 America. The cadets' parade, morning and evening, is quite a sight. 
 
 My next stop was at Newburg, a beautifully-situated city, and the scene of many inter- 
 esting events during the Revolution. On the bluffs below it were Washington's headquarters, 
 and other reminders are ]jresent of the struggle of a hundred years ago.

 Fifteen miles further \\\t on the east bank of the river is Poughkeepsie, built on an elevated 
 ])lain, having several fine churches and no less than eight important educational institutions, 
 including Vassar College, one of the leading female colleges of the world. The buildings 
 occupy a commanding site, and are modeled after the Tuilleries. The college stands on its 
 own grounds, which cover some two hundred acres. .Xfter leaving Pcnighkeepsie, the ("atskill 
 .Mountains, which can be seen for a very long distance from the river, begin now to assume 
 a nobler aspect, and form a striking background to the beautiful scenery stretched from them 
 to the river side. 
 
 VASSAR rOLI.EGE ON THK HUDSON. 
 
 Catskill Station is the landing place for tlie mountains, and for those who desire to remain 
 for a time in this deliglitful spot. Here there are always stage coaches waiting, which will 
 convey the tourists through Sleejjy Hollow, where Rip Van Winkel is fabled to have had his 
 long, deep sleep. The journey from Catskill to Albany can either be jierformed by the boat 
 or by rail. Albany is the State's cai)ital; it is also known as the Knickerbocker city of 
 .Vmerica. It is very picturesquely situated, and contains many features of interest, among 
 which may be mentioned the New State Capitol, with one exception the most sjjlendid edifice 
 in America. 
 
 Troy is only eight miles from Albany, with a choice of reaching it by street car, omnibus 
 fir railway. 
 
 Glen Falls and Saratoga Springs are well deserving of a visit. The latter is one of the 
 most famous ])laces of summer resort in the United States, and is fretpiented by Americans 
 from all sections, and by foreign tourists from all parts of Europe. Another agreeable resort 
 is Mount Mc(iregor, lying one thousand feet higher than the Sjirings, where the late (Jeneral 
 Grant was taken during his sickness, and where he breathed his last. We now take rail for 
 Utica, a handsome manufacturing city noted for its great State Lunatic Asylum. Leaving 
 LUica, the train ])asses on to Rome, a flourishing city with several fine buildings, of which 
 the handsomest is the seminary; thence to .Vuburn, the famous prison city, where the crim- 
 inals of the western half of the State are confined. Syracuse is the next important city on 
 the line of the road. It is famous for its salt springs, the most extensive in America. Next 
 comes Rochester, the metropolis of central New York, w-here years before, in a large hall, 
 at the age of eighteen, I made my debut as a singer. My next engagement was at Buffalo, 
 the immense wheat granary of the lower lakes. Among the public and prominent buildings 
 the following may be named: St. Paul's Cathedral (E])isco|>al), the State .Arsenal, the State 
 .\rmory, the (leneral Hospital, Court House, and City Hall, St. Joseph's (Roman Catholic) 
 ("athedral, and the State .'Xsylmn for the Insane, which the Buffalonites claim to be the largest 
 in the States, if not in the world. The next point of interest is one which deserves a new 
 chapter.

 fe^O write a coni[)rehcnsive descriiJtion 
 tWi? of the Falls of Niagara is a task 
 far beyond the power of [(en. Many 
 writers liave essayed to give a de- 
 scription of Niagara, but the best at- 
 tempts have given but a mere idea 
 of its stupendous might, its chang- 
 ing color, its tremendous 
 ^ rush, its never-ceasing roar. 
 '- The State of New York, 
 
 on July 15, 18S5, purchased 
 the land about the Falls, and 
 opened it free to the world, 
 and now no toll-gates con- 
 front the tourists. 
 
 The first jilace visited is 
 generally Prospect Park, as 
 it is nearest the Falls. The 
 grounds are kept in a neat 
 and tidy condition, and the 
 Reservation Police are ever 
 on the alert to see that the 
 regulations are enforced. 
 Leaving the Park, the next 
 point of interest is Goat Isl- 
 and. From it may 
 be obtained a fine 
 view of the Amer- 
 ican and Horse 
 Shoe Falls. The 
 Cave of the ^\'inds 
 is also entered 
 from this island. 
 
 The morning is 
 the best time to 
 visit Goat Island, 
 as the sun is at 
 your back, throw- 
 ing a magnificent 
 light on the scen- 
 ery. It is a very 
 r- general, but a 
 g" true expression 
 L^i with regard to the 
 ^. Falls, that the im- 
 jt' pression on first 
 j ; glancing at them 
 ^ ' is one of keen 
 disappointment.

 Wf- glance does not, 
 = however, realize 
 Niagara. It is 
 requisite to stand

 appointment disappears, and gives jilace to an indescribable sensation ol awe at its grandeur. 
 It is one of those tilings which must be seen and studied to lje appreciated. An honest 
 Hiliernian, while he gazed ujjon it, being asked if it was not the most wonderful thing that 
 ha had ever seen, replied: "Never a bit, never a bit. Shure, it's no wonder at all that the 
 water should fall down there, for I would like to know what could hinder it; but it's mighty 
 ([uare. though, I'm thinking, how the mischief it ever got u])." 
 
 From Niagara we will make a brief visit to the Dominion of Canada. The examination 
 of baggage as we cross the Canadian frontier is very rigid, and visitors will do well to in- 
 clude only such articles as are strictly of necessary personal use. 
 
 Canada is chiefly an agricultural country. It is jiractically an independent stale, though 
 it holds allegiance to the British Crown. Our first halt is at Hamilton, the Queen City 
 of Canada, with its wealth of churches, colleges, and schools, abounding in the highest Chris- 
 tian intelligence and culture. While here I visited the Branch Children's Home, originated 
 by Rev. r. 15owman Stephenson, of London, heard the little ones sing sweet hymns of praise, 
 and gave them a word of kind encouragement. 
 
 1 ne.\t visited Tcjronto, the ca])ital of the province of Ontario. It is situated on a beau- 
 tiful bay. The streets are regular, and, in general, well paved. "Toronto" means, in the 
 language of the 
 North American 
 Indians, "the place 
 of meeting." There 
 are manv commer- 
 cial buildings of 
 interest in the lead- 
 ing thoroughfares 
 of King and Yonge 
 streets, while the 
 beautiful Queen's 
 College and i)ark 
 are approached by 
 one of the stateliest 
 tree-lined avenues 
 in the world. 
 Some of the pret- 
 tiest churches and 
 chajjels in the en- 
 tire Dominion are 
 to be found in To- 
 ronto. Dr. Pun- 
 shon's church, of 
 which an engrav- 
 ing is given, is a 
 very handsome 
 building. The 
 Normal and Model 
 schools, the Educa- 
 tional Museum, 
 
 Trinity College, General Hospital, and Crystal Palace are all objects of interest. The distance 
 from Toronto to Montreal is three hundred and thirty-three miles by Grand Trunk Railway, 
 or the whole distance can be made by steamer on Lake Ontario and River St. Lawrenie, 
 if the visitor has inclination and time, and the sail is a most enjoyable one. Montreal is 
 the commercial metropolis of British North America, situated on an island of the St. Law- 
 rence River. The houses are built of a grayish limestone from adjacent quarries, and with 
 its tall spires and glittering roofs and domes, and the beautiful villas that stud its lofty back- 
 ground, the city presents as picturesque a panorama as is to be seen on the entire continent. 
 While here I found myself nicely and comfortably quartered as the -guest of James S. Matthew- 
 son, the great tea merchant, in a home which, though luxurious, is rendered doubly pleasant 
 by the piety of its inmates. My services here commenced at the great St. James Street 
 Church, where I was greeted by a large audience, which included the eloquent Dr. Morley 
 Punshon. The next morning witnessed the opening of the Wesleyan Missionary Anniversary 
 for a session of several days, at which Dr. O. H. Tiffany. Dr. Punshon, Dr. Douglass, and

 Dr. Sutherland were the principal speakers, whose addresses I interspersed with Gospel songs. 
 It was a season of great spiritual and intellectual Christian enjoyment, at which I sang for 
 the first time some lines written for me by Dr. Punshon, and for which I had composed a 
 new tune, .^s Dr. Punshon has since gone to his rest, it may be of interest to give the 
 words he wrote for me on that occasion : 
 
 THE IMLGKI.M S MISSION. 
 
 Listen ! the M.isler beseecheth, 
 
 Calling each one by his name, 
 His voice to each loving heart reachcth, 
 
 Its checrfulest service to claim. 
 Go where the vineyard demandeth 
 
 ^'ine-(lresser's nurture and care; 
 Or go where the white harvest standeth, 
 
 The joy ol the reaper to share. 
 
 Work for tlie good that is nighest; 
 
 Dream not of greatness afar; 
 That glory is ever the highest 
 
 Which shines upon men as they are. 
 Work, though the world would defeat you ; 
 
 Heed not its slander and scorn; 
 Nor weary till angels shall greet you 
 
 With smiles through the gates of the morn. 
 
 Work, though the enemies' laughter 
 
 Over the valleys may sweep; 
 For (iod's patient workers hereafter 
 
 Shall laugh when the enemies weep. 
 Ever on Jesus reliant, 
 
 Tress on your chivalrous way; 
 The mightiest Thilistine giant 
 
 His Davids are chartered to slay. 
 
 Offer thy life on the altar: 
 
 In the high purpose be strong. 
 And if the tired spirit should falter, 
 
 Then sweeten thy labor with song. 
 What if the jjoor heart complaineth? 
 
 Soon shall its wailing be o'er; 
 For there, in the rest that remaineth, 
 
 It shall grieve and be weary no more. 
 
 From Montreal I journeyed to St. John's, New Brunswick, the largest city in the province, 
 situated on the St. John's River, at the point of its entrance into the Bay of Ftmdy. Here, 
 owing to the good management of my friends, I was most successful. Proceeding thence to 
 Halifax, the principal city and capital of Nova Scotia, situated on an inlet of the extreme 
 south-eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean, the principal naval and commercial station of the 
 North -American colonies, I gave my first service in the Brunswick Wesleyan Church, and 
 met with eipial success. I also receixed a hearty welcome at Pictou, Truro, Moncton. Wind- 
 sor, Fredericton, Woodstock, and as far down as Charlottestown, the beautiful capital of Prince 
 Edward's Island. 
 
 The station of the Direct Cable Company, in Nova Scotia, situated at Webber's Cove, 
 Torbay, one hundred and twenty miles east of Halifax, consists of a cable-house for testing 
 purposes, two large houses in which are provided office accommodation for the telegraphic 
 business, and comfortable quarters for the staff, stabling, boat-house, etc., and, notwithstanding 
 the minor inconveniences, inseparable from comparative isolation — the nearest town being 
 twenty-two miles away — is a pleasant place of abode. 
 
 The system of land-lines and cables, four thousand three hundred miles in length, over 
 which pass all messages sent "7'w Direct" between London and New- "\'<)rk, is entirely con- 
 trolled by the Direct Company, and the cin/thyi-s are in its service. Telegrams from and for 
 places beyond New York are collected and distributed by the .Vtlantic and Pacific and the 
 Dominion Telegraph Companies, with which the Direct Company has special working arrange- 
 ments. 
 
 The cables are laid in two sections, between Ballinskelligs Bay, Ireland, and Torbay, 
 Nova Scotia, and Torbay and Rye Beach, New Hamjishire; the lengths of those sections 
 being two thousand seven hundred and ninety miles, and six hundred and fifty miles, re- 
 spectively. 
 
 We must now go on to Quebec, the oldest and, after Montreal, the most important city 
 in British North America. Quebec has been called the "Gibraltar of America," on account 
 of the extensive fortifications of the "citadel," which occupy some forty acres, and are con- 
 sidered to be im])regnable. Dufferin Terrace here is an unequalled promenade, the outlook 
 is one of the finest in the world, and is of itself worth a trij) to Quebec. From the city 
 several interesting excursions may be made. The Isle of Orleans, by ferry-boat, the Falls 
 of Montniorenci, is only eight miles distant. 
 
 Even a brief visit to the Dominion would, of course, be very incomjjiete if Ottawa, the 
 seat of government, and where the Governor-General resides, were not seen. 
 
 Ottawa is one of the most picturesque and attractive cities in Canada. Its public build- 
 ings are particularly fine, while elegant private residences are numerous; but it is the enchant- 
 ing scenery of the locality which charms visitors. The Parliamentary Buildings includes the 
 
1 8 LAKE SUPERIOR DISTRICT. 
 
 Main Blocks, Departmental Blocks, and the Dominion Library. 'I'he Senate and Commons 
 fhamber, where legislation is effected, are located in the main building, while in the Eastern 
 Block is the Patent t)ffice, where there are some twelve thousand models of inventions [jat- 
 ented. a museum of wonders in itself. Upon Parliament Hill the Supreme Court Building is 
 located, and from the Hill a magnificent view can be obtained of the surrounding country, 
 which is unexcelled for beauty and picturestjueness. The cost of the Government Buildings 
 was some five million dollars. The large saw-mills of the Chaudiere are a source of much 
 interest to the sight-seer. Nearly five hundred million feet of lumber are i)roduced annually 
 by the mills of this locality. Several of them are now lighted by electricity, and it is ([uite 
 novel to see the men at work at night under the electric light. The Chandierc Falls should 
 also be visited, as they have been placed second only to Niagara Falls in jioint of grandeur 
 and beauty. 
 
 After visiting Kingston and London (the latter city being laid out after the plan of its 
 great namesake, having also its river Thames, and many streets named after those so famous 
 in the mother-land), we pass over into Michigan, halting at Detriot, its principal city. This 
 great central metropolis, with a jjopulation of one hundred thousand people, is of great com- 
 mercial importance, being charmingly situated on the Detroit River, the great water avenue 
 connecting the north-western lakes of Michigan, Huron, and Superior with that of Erie ; and 
 thence, by the Welland Canal, with Ontario, the St. Lawrence, and the Atlantic seaboard. 
 
 I next visited Ann Arbor, situated on the Huron River, where my service was well at- 
 tended and gave great satisfaction, being given almost within the shadow of the structures 
 of the State University. Adrian, a young and rising city, was the next point reached. Here 
 is the home of my old friend Major Cole, and his cheerful presence greatly helped me. 
 Thence I proceeded to Jackson, where I sang in the Methodist Episcopal Church, being in- 
 troduced to my large audience by Rev. J. S. Smart, D. D., whose Christian worth and man- 
 liness of character make him much more than an ordinary doctor of divinity. 
 
 Lansing, the capital of the State, situated at the confluence of Grand and Cedar rivers, 
 and Saginaw City, were the scenes of my next services, both being young cities of wonderful 
 growth. 1 sang two evenings in the latter, in aid of the Methodist Church, which was then 
 largely in debt, both services proving very successful under the management of Rev. Dr. J. 
 H. McCarthy. While this excellent minister and his wife were listening to my songs, thieves 
 entered the parsonage, strippijig it of several hundred dollars' worth of clothing and furniture. 
 But the misfortune was not long grieved over, for these good people had laid up their price- 
 less treasures "where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break 
 through nor steal." 
 
 I next gave services at Grand Rapids and Grand Haven, both places of great enterprise 
 and natural beauty; and moving forward to Kalamazoo, to me the gem city of Michigan, I 
 found the Methodist Episcopal Conference in session. After singing in Niles, Hillsdale, 
 Jonesville, and other smaller towns, I started with my dear family on a trip to the Lake Su- 
 perior districts, in the extreme north-western portion of the State. Through all these immense 
 mining and lumbering sections, in which are the towns of Sheboygan, Marquette, Pere, 
 Nagauna, and Ishpeming, I gave my services to most enthusiastic audiences; meeting many 
 Cornish people, proverbial for their love of sacred song. From these regions I crossed over 
 into the State of Wisconsin, to the west of Lake Michigan, and bounded by the great waters 
 of Lake Superior on the north. I gave my first service in Milwaukee, which has two hun- 
 dred thousand inhabitants, fully two-thirds of whom are Germans ; and which, besides being 
 the most populous city in the state, is one of the greatest primary wheat markets and ports 
 in the Union. This beautiful metropolis is a favorite resort for both pleasure-seekers and 
 invalids, on account of the purity of its atmosphere ; while its cream-colored brick, with which 
 its public and business buildings and residences are mostly constructed, are of world-wide fame. 
 These bricks are made in great quantities for exportation to all parts of the United States; 
 being much sought after for the construction of the fronts of public edifices, business blocks, 
 and elegant mansions. My evening of song was held in the Summerfield Methodist Epis- 
 copal Church, which was crowded with attentive listeners, and which was so thoroughly 
 pleasing as to ever afterward bespeak me a full house in visiting the city. 
 
 Passing westward to Madison, the state's capital, one of the most beautiful cities within 
 its borders, I found it planted on an isthmus between two charming inland lakes, for which 
 isolated bodies of water Wisconsin is peculiarly famous. I sang here in a hall to a few 
 people, who received my songs with unmistakable heartiness. Passing on, I gave very well- 
 attended services at Janesville, Monroe, Racine, Kenosha, Green Bay, Menasha, Portage City, 
 Appleton, Oshkosh, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Baraboo, La Crosse, Waunakee, Waukesha,

 Mineral I'oint, lirodliead, Plattville, Waupun, and other well-known towns. At Waupun I 
 visited the State Penitentiary, where [ gave a service of song in the presence of nearly a 
 thousand convicts. Crossing the Mississippi, I entered the great wheat-liekl of the west, the 
 State of Minnesota, whose principal cities are St. Paul and .Minneajjolis. Here one is thor- 
 oughly ini|)ressed with western thrift and jjrogress; and if he is accustomed only to small 
 things, the enterprising peojjle and fertile country at the head of the great waters of the Mis- 
 sisstpi)i will be sure to expand him. St. Paul is a finely built and located city, while Min- 
 nea])olis, with its great flour and lumber mills, and St. .\nthony, with its unequaled water- 
 ]50wer, teem with the hum of busy industry. Not forgetful of the Falls of Minnehaha, whose 
 "laughing waters" have been so beautifully described in verse by Longfellow, 1 go thither to 
 find them laughing still, as they playfully leap from that beautiful cascade. 
 
 Fine hotels, good audiences, appreciative listeners, were mine to enjoy in this state, from 
 whose centers I made several expeditions, giving services at Stillwater, Austin, Rochester, 
 Fairibault, Xorthfield, Mankato, and other smaller towns, laking steamer, I visited Red 
 Wing and Winona, two charming localities on the Mississippi's banks, in both of which I 
 met most hearty welcome. These u|)per waters of the great river are full of beauty and 
 sublimity, bordered on both banks with many miles of high bluffs and rocks, through which 
 the stream seems for ages to have been wearing down, ajid receding to its ]>resent channel. 
 For imiTiense distances these bluffs rise in unbroken and often preci])itous front on both 
 banks of the river, with great uniformity of height, shape, and feature, though often with 
 great stretches of lowland, marsh, and prairie between them and the stream, to which they 
 occasionally return, to frown at and overshadow with their grim battlements, again to recede 
 to a distance of from one to five miles. 
 
 Hurriedly passing through Iowa and Illinois, I came to Indiana. My first service in 
 this State was at Indianapolis, the State capitol. I also visited Richmond, Vincennes, Mad- 
 ison, Terre Haute, Greencastle (the .\thens of Western Methodism), Muncie, Columbus, Fort 
 Wayne, Lafayette, Warsaw, Logansport, Michigan City, and South Bend, the latter place 
 the home of Hon. Schuyler Colfax, associated in the presidency with the lamented Lincoln, 
 and whose public career so singularly terminated with that of his illustrious associate with 
 whose inner life and thoughts no one in this land was so well acquainted. 
 
 There is a noticeable contrast in many particulars between the Western and Eastern 
 States. New England will ever have a special interest for the friends of religious liberty, in 
 the freedom it gave to the Pilgrim fathers. Boston, the capitol city, bears the name of 
 "Hub" from the original laying out of the streets in the forin of a wheel, but now retaining 
 the appellation becau-se of its being the eastern entrepot for culture, wealth, and intelligence. 
 It is the oldest portion, and the most familiar jjart of our country, and to give a description 
 of the many interesting places and immense industries would re(|uire a volume of itself. As 
 my space is limited I prefer to mention parts of the country less familiar, and refer the reader 
 to the many r.r// written books on New England. 
 
 I wmII, therefore, only give a cursory mention of some of the places in which I have 
 repeatedly visited and given my services, and generally with gratifying results. New Haven, 
 Hartford, Springfield, Worcester, Providence, Newport, New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard, 
 Cape Cod country, Portland, Bangor, Augusta, Lewiston, Fitzburg, Pittsfield, Lawrence, 
 Lowell, Charlestown, Concord, Manchester, Nashua, Rutland, Burlington, Montpelier, and 
 Brattlesboro. As the "star of empire is westward," wx hasten on into Illinois, with its en- 
 terprising and wide-awake population, and which the Chicago jjeople will tell you is the 
 banner state of both Hemispheres. 
 
JX HIE WEST. 
 
 CiiAi'iiiR 1 \'. — Chicago. 
 
 i I I I'.RE is no other town or city in the entire States which has been so mucli talked 
 nd written about as Chicago. Even .San Francisco, with its (iolden (iate and ]jer- 
 I'lexing Chinese jirobleni, sinks info insignificance when comijared with "wonderful 
 Cliicago.'' In almost any way you may view it, it has not its ecjual on llie face of 
 the globe. It is the largest of its age, having a population of more than 700,000; it is 
 the llnest-bLiilt and truest American tyi)e of indomitable pluck and ]jerseverance; it is 
 the king grain dei)ository and market of the world, and the greatest railroad center in 
 the States, besides being the largest shijiping jiort of cattle and swine known in any land. 
 
 All will remember the great fire of 1S71 which destroyed some two hundred and nine 
 million dollars worth of property. Even before the fire had exhausted itself, plans were made 
 
 f 
 
 for new streets and stores, and with all the vigor of modern American enterprise, the major 
 part of the present vast city rose towering above the ruins, a monument to succeeding genera- 
 tions of Western progress. Amusing reports were heard of the commercial announcements 
 of some of the ruined tradesmen, who had to begin business over again. "Nothing left out 
 of the fire but a five dollar bill, wife, and four children ; never say die," was not an uncom- 
 mon appeal to the public. 
 
 I have sung in Chicago many times, both in song service and religious convention, before 
 the largest audiences, and always with eminent success; and, while it may properly be termed 
 tlie wickedest city of America, it has been the home of some of the most earnest and faithful 
 ministers of the gospel. Christian workers and evangelists known to both the eastern and west- 
 ern continents. Here was the residence of D. L. Moody, and here he began his great Chris- 
 tian work in earnest. Here lives B. F. Jacobs, the inventor of the uniform National Sunday- 
 school Lessons. Here Dr. Edward Eggleston arose in might of mental strength and eloquence, 
 and shot out like a new star into the evangelical firmament ; and here our Dr. Vincent com- 
 menced his great and successful mission in Sabbath-school work, by starting and publishing 
 the Ahitional Sunday-school Teacher. Here, also, our good, true worker, S. A. Kean, com- 
 menced his great missionary Sabbath-school, which has grown up into the full stature of a 
 noble Church of Christ. This, too, is the city which gave the world the lamented song 
 evangelist, P. P. Bliss, whose translated soul, with that of his dear wife, in one disastrous 
 midwinter night, ascended to glory in a chariot of fire, but whose sweet songs go circling 
 through and singing over the earth, while their author sings the praises of the redeemed 
 standing among the harpers "around about the throne." Here, too, is the home of George 
 F. Root, who always seemed to me to be the parent of our American song-poets, as also of 
 the princely John V. Farwell, whose modest ways and unassuming charities have made him 
 well known to the Christian world. 
 
 Having so proud a record, even in its infancy, and having given so many good things

 to the world, Chicago, or its suburbs, is a good place to hail from, be you in any portion 
 of the Christianized or civilized globe. 
 
 From Chicago we visit Springfield, tiie capital of the Slate, also known as the " Flower 
 City " from the beauty of the place and its surroundings. The new Stale Capitol here is one 
 of the finest buildings of the kind in Anieri<;a. Two miles north of the city is Oak Ridge 
 Cemetery, where rest the remains of President F>incoln. 
 
 The noble monument erected to his memory cost $215,000. My course now lies uj) the 
 great Mississippi and on to Lake I'epin, an expansion of the river considered by many the 
 most beautiful portion of the .Mississii)pi. The forests reach to the river bank, and the water 
 is so beautifully clear that fish may be seen man)- feet below the surface. 
 
 St. I'aui, the capital of Minnesota, is a beautiful city, built on both banks of the Missi.s- 
 sippi. The principal |niblic buildings are the State Capitol, occupying an entire block, and 
 the United States Custom House, which also contains the post-office. In the winter an im- 
 mense ice palace is erected, and a 
 
 great skating carnival is held. There 
 are some beautiful drives in and 
 around St. Paul, a most charming 
 one being along the boulevaril past 
 Fort Snelling to Minnehaha Falls, 
 immortalized by Longfellow. No 
 visitor to St. Paul should fail to 
 visit Minneapolis, which overlooks 
 the Falls of St. .\nthony. .This is 
 the center of immense lumber and 
 flouring interest, and has a popula- 
 tion of 125,000. 
 
 We now go into Dakota, a terri 
 tory twice as large as all the New 
 England States. Bismarck is the 
 capital. Fargo, Moorhead, and 
 Miles City are all thriving towns. 
 Through the whole of northern Da- 
 kota the road passes through the 
 finest wheat lands in the world, and 
 there are many farms where thou- 
 sands of acres are inclosed within 
 one fence, and wheat-growing is fol- 
 lowed on a gigantic scale. Leaving 
 the immense farm lands we go on 
 to the Wonderland of the I'nited 
 States, 
 
 THE VEI.I.OW.STOXE N.\TIOX..\I, P.\RK. 
 
 No language can do justice to thi- 
 wonderful grandeur and beautv of 
 this vast pleasure domain, which 
 comprises an area of three thousand 
 five hundred and seventy-five square 
 miles, hemmed in by mountain ranges 
 feet, and ca])ped with perpetual snow.

 that rise to a height of from ten to twelve thousand 
 In the number and magnitude of its geysers and hot 
 sprmgs, the jiark sur|)asses all the rest of the world. Resuming our journey, we soon reach 
 Helena, the ca|)ital of Montana Territory, noted for ils rich mines of gold and silver and 
 medicinal hot springs. 
 
 \yashington Territory and the State of Oregon are now known as the "New North-west," 
 as it is only within a few years that the great capacities and attractions of this vast region 
 have been realized by the world. Portland, Oregon's capital, is the commercial metropolis of 
 the Pacific North-west. It lies in the very heart of a great producing country, and for which 
 it must serve as a receiver and distributor of exports and imports. It is virtually a seajjort, 
 to which large vessels may come direct from any part of the world and find wharf accommo- 
 dation. Here Dr. Vincent and myself conducted the first Sunday-school convention held in 
 Oregon. Several very agreeable excursions may be made from Portland, the most attractive

 is that up the Columbia River to the Dalles. The st encrv all the way is grand and impressive. 
 .Vnother pleasant tri]) is to Paget Sound, one of the most ])iclures(iue bodies of water in the 
 world. A little over fifty miles from Portland, and we reach .Salem, the cajntal of Oregon, 
 beautifully situated on the Willamette River, and surrounded l)y a fertile j)rairie. From Hal- 
 se)', accom|xinied with Dr. X'incent, we took stage overland for California, riding for seven 
 hundred miles over the worst roads or trails ever traversed with vehicle, being at the complete 
 mercy of drunken drivers; and, on one occasion, being overturned in a roaring creek at mid- 
 night, covered with mud and drenched with water, and so soaked and bedraggled as to be 
 com]jelled to build a " tramp" fire to dry our clothing. Our vehicle being unfit, from the 
 results of this accident, for further present and ])robable future use, we were transferred, with 
 
 our soiled baggage, to a lum- 
 ber cart, in which sorry i>light 
 we made the balance of our 
 journey, stopping at rough 
 hovels for our meals, or 
 " grub," as they term it here ; 
 and learning, through both 
 fear and hunger, to devour 
 almost any thing, palataljle or 
 un])alatable, in the semblance 
 of food which was set before 
 us, knowing that if we at- 
 tempted any criticism on our 
 bill of fare, or made manifest 
 any dislike at the preparation 
 of our dishes, we should be 
 violently ejected from the ta- 
 hlc-iliiiic, or be treated to a 
 shower of profanity fully up 
 to the powers of old Beelze- 
 bub himself. Thus we rode 
 forward for nine days and 
 nights on the very worst trij) 
 I was ever called upon to 
 experience ; and never were 
 two travelers more glad to ex- 
 change the mudwagon for a 
 railway carriage than were 
 we, as we arrived at Redding. 
 This was at a time when road- 
 making was comparatively 
 new in this region. From 
 Redding we go to Chico, 
 where resides the noble Gen- 
 eral Bidwell and his most 
 charming wife, w'ho enter- 
 tained us for several days in 
 their fine home, in the center 
 of a giant farm of twenty-two 
 thousand acres. But on we 
 go over the Upper Sacra- 
 mento Valley to Marysville, and thence in a southern direction. Following the Sacramento 
 River, we soon arrive at Sacramento, the capital of California. Here a luxuriant growth of 
 flowers and shrubs may be seen in the open air at all seasons of the year. The State capitol 
 is a magnificent building, situated almost in the very heart of the city, the grounds covering 
 eighteen blocks. Tourists who desire to visit the Calaveras Grove of Big Trees, en route from 
 Sacramento to San F-rancisco, should take the old route via Stockton to Milton, and thence by 
 stage. There are ninety-three trees of large size in the grove. The tallest is three hundred 
 and twenty-five feet high, and forty-five feet in circumference. Their age is supposed to be 
 one thousand five hundred years. 
 
 But we resume our jcurncy, pnd go on to Oakland, the Brooklyn of the Pacific coast,

 situated nearly opposite San Francisco, of which it is practically a suburb. Oakland is lux- 
 uriantly shaded with oak trees, is remarkably well built, and has a deliginful climate. From 
 here we take ferryboat for three miles to San Francisco, the chief city of California and com- 
 mercial metropolis of the Pacific coast. 
 
 It is hardly ]jossible that there is any locality in the world where more radical changes 
 take i)lace in a short time than in California. Since a previous visit two years before, hy- 
 draulic mining had torn down the mountains, and new rivers and streams had been jjrovided 
 with channels for the purpose of irrigation, which had caused the desert places to spring up 
 and blossom like a rose. In fields where wild oats grew indigenously, stood beautiful wheat, 
 Ijroducing seventy bushels to the acre, waiting the coming of the reapers, while the wild 
 canons were becoming prolific vineyariis and orchards of fruit, in one of which latter I \yas 
 shown thirty-eight thousand cherry trees, all of which were in bearing. Towns were becoming 
 cities, railroads taking the j)lace of stage-routes, little Sabbath-school missions were becoming 
 lar"e and influential churches, and improvement in society was correspondingly advancing. 
 
 Remaining in San Francisco for a ])eri()d of five months, I gave services of song in the 
 country each week, returning to sing every Sunday morning at the meetings held by the late 
 Dr. Cunningham in the Presbyterian tabernacle, at the Sabbath-school service at noon, at the 
 ])rayer-meetings in the afternoon, and also at the preaching services on Sabbath evenings. 
 These meetings were truly blessed of God, and were the most hap])y in which I have par- 
 ticipated in the course of my life-long services in sacred song. 
 
 If I desired to make a home in any part of the world other than New York, my choice 
 would certainly fiill upon California with its even climate, delightful valleys, thrifty wheat fields, 
 dfelicious fruits, beautiful flowers, wonderful vegetation, and its richness in minerals, surpassing, 
 as it does in these and many other particulars, almost every other country in the world. 
 
 One of the excursions most frequently recommended to the stranger in San Francisco 
 is that of San Jose, noted for its educational institutions, and in the vicinity are some of the 
 finest vineyards in the country. From here we can take horse cars to the jjicturesque village 
 of Santa Clara. Another favorite excursion from San Francisco is to Calistoga, and about 
 five miles from Calistoga is the Petrified Forest, which is justly regarded as one of the great 
 natural wonders of California. From Calistoga we can take the stages to the famous (ieyser 
 Springs. Here hot and cold springs lie within a few feet of each other. They differ in color, 
 smell," and taste. Los Angeles was the next important i)oint visited. This is the largest city 
 in Southern California, and the center of the orange growing business of the State. Still 
 another favorite trip is a visit to the Yosemite \'alley, calling at the Mariposa Grove of Big 
 Trees en route. There are two of these groves ; the upper one contains three hundred and 
 sixty-five trees, of which one hundred and fifty-four are over fifteen feet in diameter. The 
 largest tree in the lower grove is ninety-four feet in circumference. We now enter the unsur- 
 passed Yosemite Valley. This most wonderful valley is six miles in length, and looks like a 
 vast flower garden. Plants, shrubs, and flowers of every color cover the ground until the eye 
 is dazzled, and the air is heavy with the fragrance of a million blossoms. Trees of several 
 centuries' growth raise their tall heads heavenward, yet in comjiarison with the vast perpendic- 
 ular rocks, they look like daisies beside a tall ])ine. Cascades, cataracts, lakes, rivers, and 
 some of the grandest waterfalls in the world are found here. Passing through the silver terri- 
 tory of Arizona, we next enter New Mexico, visiting the ancient and interesting city of Santa 
 Fe, the oldest town in the United States. It is mostly built of adobe, and its streets present 
 a very picturesijue commingling of Americans, Mexicans, and Indians. Passing into Texas 
 we make a brief halt at San Antonio, the chief city of the western jiart of the State. The 
 market-places and street scenes here will amuse the visitor as being more foreign and queer 
 than those of any other .American city. 
 
 From San .\ntonio I started for Dallas, the central metropolis of Texas, and a city of 
 considerable pentensions. Sherman is another thriving Texas city which demanded my atten- 
 tion. Everybody one meets here seems to be in a hurry, yet most have that complaisant 
 look u|)on their faces which makes one sure that they are successful in something or other. 
 A happy state, truly! My next stop was at Waco, where just at this time the comic lecturer, 
 Josh Billings, was setting the people wild with his drolleries. In going from here to Austin, 
 the capital of Texas, we pass through the most fertile parts of the great State. I was shown 
 fields where wheat, corn, and cotton would grow thriftily side by side. Young farmers would 
 do well to consider Texas before settling down on a hill farm in crowded Eastern districts. 
 
 Texas does a heavy trade in cattle: indeed, it is the chief interest. This has drawn a 
 class of po])ulation to the State, which has given it the name of being somewhat lawless. 
 There is not that strict regard for ••the proprieties" which we find in States fiirther east. 
 
24 TEXAS. 
 
 The lierdcr ami irader are "a law unto themselves," as they pursue their free life on the 
 plains. 
 
 But the cattle-trade is immense. Some men own as many as one hundred thousand head. 
 There is an aristocracy in the trade, too, it .seems. A society has been formed into which 
 no one is allowed to enter as a member unless owning one thousand head of cattle at least. 
 The members of this society brand their stock, and once a year they go among the flocks 
 and claim their calves in proportion to the number they own. These animals are perfectly 
 wild, and often quite vicious. In going among them, the herders ride on horses or mules 
 for safet)'. These cattle roam over the wide, grassy plains, and are no more valuable to their 
 owners as milch cows than a wild beast. Conseciuently, milk is almost as scarce in Texas as 
 in Ceylon. The large drovers, or cattle-dealers, have a stuffed ox with broad horns mounted 
 on the tops of their houses; so that when one sees this sign in passing through a Texas town, 
 the conclusion may at once be arrived at that a cattle-dealer lives there. 
 
 In going from .Austin to Houston, I was induced to stop over at the thriving little town 
 of Hrenham, and give an hour of song in the afternoon. About thirty miles from this i)lace 
 my old -Mabama friend. Dr. Pitts, came on board the train with some fifty of his young lady 
 students from "Chaiiel Hill." This was quite flattering, I thought, and, as pious Frederick 
 Faber would have said, " was the source of very profitable confusion to me." It did my soul 
 good to see my friend's cheery face again, and to look into the dancing eyes of so many 
 blooming girls. They were modest, intelligent, and well-behaved. The good doctor had 
 given them a holiday, for the purpose of bringing them to hear me sing. Brenham is only 
 a smart young town of three thousand, but had just erected a neat opera house. It was here 
 that my service was held, at the solicitation of the Presbyterians of the community, who wor- 
 shiped there temporarily. 
 
 At Houston my meeting, despite its sacred nature, had some very comical features. It- 
 was held in Market Hall, w-hich was kindly given by the people. I found a good old fruit- 
 vender under the hall, who assisted me in carrying up my organ. So much done! Then 
 the next thing which filled me with dismay was the lack of a stool. What should I do for 
 a stool? Nothing in that bare room sent me back any word of comfort. The matter began 
 to look serious. All at once my odd new friend trotted from my side without a word, and 
 disappeared by some mysterious- door at the farther end of the hall. Soon I heard his un- 
 certain steps descending the stairs. What now? My last friend had forsaken me! Had I 
 said any thing, done any thing, to hurt the good soul's feelings? But just in the midst of 
 these harrowing thoughts, the same step, with its little halt, is heard again on the stairs, and 
 the old man comes triumphantly toward me with a great Italf-bushd measure in his arms ! Do 
 not smile, gentle reader, but rejoice with me. That simple measure, if you would review its 
 public career, may not have been, it is true, as innocent as it looks; but rest assured it did 
 honest work as a seat for the Pilgrim that night at Market Hall. 
 
 From Houston, via the Texas Central Railroad, I started for Galveston, about sixty miles 
 distant. Galveston is a fine, growing city of about forty-five thousand inhabitants. It shares 
 the fame peculiar to many of our larger Western cities — that of being very wicked. The class 
 of emigration which has been drawn to these border towns explains at once how they have 
 received this fame. The hope of large gains, with small outlay of labor, at first attracted 
 many idle and adventurous persons to the West. Those who had the courage to break off 
 from all old associations in the Eastern States, and try their fortunes in a new land, were 
 certainly possessed of much spirit: and this same spirit finds outlet in a hundred different 
 ways, when the country is new and all the restrictions of a home society are removed. No 
 doubt they well deserve the name of "fast cities;" but there is an immense amount of mental 
 activity and power w-asted here, just because the missionary has not come along to turn it 
 into better channels. A superabundant energy, either of brain or body, must expend itself 
 upon something, and the object upon which it is spent proves it vicious or holy. So Chris- 
 tians should bear into these Western cities such objects of public interest as will be pure and 
 elevating, if they would not have them still "fast cities." 
 
 (ialveston is noted for its miles and miles of beautiful beach. A drive of eight miles 
 along this surf-way was to me one of the grandest features of my Southern travels. The car- 
 riagedrixe winds along o\er the clean sand close by the water's edge. The salt spray sifts 
 gently down into your face: but the salt breezes fan it quickly away, and refresh you with 
 their invigorating breath. The city is rather low, which is a great disadvantage. A very 
 disastrous flood happened here a few years ago, doing much damage. The streets of Gal- 
 veston are bordered with the most beautiful oleanders. In May these are all in full bloom, 
 presenting a fairy-like picture.

 The attendance upon my services here was much lessened by the celebration known 
 through the South as the "'Mardi Gras." On this occasion of festivity the whole city seems 
 to abandon itself to merriment, and to actually run mad in masquerade and public procession. 
 I also visited the great cotton markets and presses here, where they squeeze a bale of cotton, 
 five feet long by four feet deep and wide, down to four feet long and one foot deep, in less 
 time than a minute. To a stranger this is very interesting. 
 
 (".oing on board one of Morgan's line of s])lendid steamers, I left Galveston for New Or- 
 leans. A delightful passage of twenty hours brought me to my jjlace of destination. 
 
 Chaptkr V. — Nkw Orleans. 
 
 JK EW ORLEANS, the great Southern shipping port and metropolis, contains a population 
 of about two hundred and thirty thousand, and is one of the most (luaint and ancient- 
 looking cities in our country. Every-where are evidences of its French and Spanish 
 origin. The ])eople themselves are not free from this foreign air, and, indeed, the 
 old blood still courses in the veins of many. To go around the city slowly, in an open 
 car or carriage, up and down its avenues of fragrant magnolias, is almost worth a trip 
 South. Nearly every house is a study. There is a combination of the antique and 
 and modern styles of architecture, often in the same building, which would verily set 
 our good friend John Ruskin daft were he over here to see. The oddities jut out at every 
 angle, and leer comically at you from the black, tumbling walls. Vou almost fancy they have 
 some appreciation of the funniness of the old town; for, leaning so confidentially toward you 
 as you pass, you laugh outright at their rows of mysterious-looking, little French eyes — win- 
 dows. Yes, the old city is yet alive, and mocks the new for a time ; then sleeps again to dream. 
 But I have wandered far away from my subject. In New (Jrleans I gave several services 
 of song, and, in every case, to full houses. At the Union Colored Church I had arranged to 
 give every one who purchased a full ticket a copy of iny book. In this way several hundred 
 were dispersed among the colored people. 
 
 A Northerner, or one unused to our characteristic "darkey," can form but a poor esti- 
 mate of the scene of that evening. The negro soul seems nine-tenths emotion, and nothing 
 is so potent to arouse it as religious song. They actually bore me along on their own meas- 
 ures; for feet, heads, and often books, were going at once, hel])ing me keep time. Tears 
 flowed, hands were clapped, and various pious e}aculations could be continually heard in the 
 crowd. It was extremely laughable at times ; but I could not but wish that all iny 7i7///c con- 
 gregations would so readily catch and appreciate the religious tone of these services. The 
 colored folks understand at once, and come to the service expecting to be made good. 
 
 From New Orleans to Baton Rouge, " the coast," as it is called, is lined with planta- 
 tions. Every spot seems to be transformed into beautiful gardens, containing specimens of 
 all those choice flowers and fruits, which flourish only in tropical climes. The town, as seen 
 from the water, rising regularly and beautifully from the banks with its singularly shaped 
 French and Spanish houses, looks like a fmely-painted landsca])e. From Baton Rouge we 
 take the river steamer Natchez for Vicksburg, passing the beautiful little town of Natchez 
 en route. I found the city of Vicksburg to be one of great natural beauty. It stands upon 
 an eminence overlooking the grand "Father of Waters," and smiles in a wild lu.xuriance of 
 tropical trees and flowers. Its commerce is very considerable, though it is quite modest in 
 its pretensions, with New Orleans and Mobile close at hand. Here, wherever you turn, you 
 are met by war memories. Old times flash up before the mind, and you seem to hear the 
 tramp of soldiers just beside you. Buried scenes revive. You are again in \'icksburg with 
 Grant or Pemberton, and it is 1863. 
 
 Since those days of my pilgrimage through this Southern land, a scourge almost worse 
 than war has fallen upon its cities, and well-nigh depo[nilated them. The yellow fever reign 
 of 1878 will long be remembered as the most fatal and wide-spread known for many years. 
 New Orleans, >Iemphis, Vicksburg, and many cities and villages of smaller size were utterly 
 desolated for many months. The fever claimed its victim.s by the thousand, and made great 
 charnel-houses of populous cities in a few days. The spirit of business was entirely quenched, 
 and every one either sought refuge in some other place, or remained to minister to the sick 
 and hel]) to bury the dead. Such a calamity had rarely been known in our countrv. Nothing 
 seemed to arrest its ravages from early summer until late in November. The North v.as eager

 and bountiful in its expressions of sympathy and brotherhood, and sent its hundreds of hel))fiil 
 hands, and thousands of wilhng dollars, to aid the numberless sufferers. Old grudges were 
 not so much thought of for the time; for, after all, our disputes are matters which usually 
 arise in our heads, and leave our hearts true and united, as the Master begged His followers 
 to be. "That they all may be one," you remember He sflid. And that sumn»er's dire afflic- 
 tion in the South brought much more of the spirit of real union to light than we ever dreamed 
 could exist since the war. 
 
 Moving on, I was soon at Jackson, the capital of .Mississippi. My service was held in 
 the Hall of Re])resentatives, Capitol building. It was most atlroitly managed by the State 
 Secretary, James Lynch, Esq., a man ever fearless of public opinion when great jirinciples 
 were at stake. He was an eloquent minister of the gospel, as wx-ll as a politician. I was 
 told that this was the first time that a mixed audience had ever assembled under the same 
 roof in the town. Here were all classes, waiting to listen to my singing. His Excellency, 
 the Clovernor of Mississippi, was one of my hearers. I felt very much in the sjnrit of song 
 that evening, and so enjoyed it. An excellent notice of the service apjjeared in the daily 
 papers the following morning. From here I ticketed for Meridian, in the eastern part of 
 Mississippi. I had heard and read much of the people of this little town, and was glad my 
 pilgrimage hap|)ened to lead me through it. My service was held in the court-house, which, 
 a lxi\s months before, was the scene of bloodshed and murder. Previous to my coming, the 
 sheriff, and my good friend Mr. Brown, rearranged the hall so as to banish any unpleasant 
 suggestions which might arise in the people's minds. I sang an hour and a half; and what 
 a privilege it was! How the exultant notes of gos])el joy must have contrasted in air with 
 the mad shouts of an infuriated mob! But we will not dwell on it here. 
 
 My next apijointment was at Macon. Here I was most heartily received, and sang at 
 the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Hicks, the i)astor of the church, is a man of ability, 
 .and tulieves in "Christian progression," even in this life. The success of my service was 
 greatly owing to his earnest efforts in exciting an interest in it. It seemed to do good. 
 
 I next made tracks for Mobile, a fine commercial city of 40,000 inhabitants, situated on 
 Mobile Bay, an arm of the Gulf of Mexico. Immense shipments of cotton are made from 
 this iilace. Tobacco, rice, sugar, and sweet j)olatoes are also largely exported. From its 
 communication with so many water-courses. Mobile has grown to be second only to New Or- 
 leans in its commercial importance as a Southern seajjort city. The weatlicr seemed intensely 
 warm to me, which is probably because I was imused to s«ich extreme heat as they have 
 down there; for others did not appear to suffer much. 
 
 I next visited Montgomery, Alaliama, a truly beautiful city. It was once proposed, during 
 the late civil war, to make Montgomery the capital of the Confederate States; but, upon 
 further consultation, the idea was abandoned. 'I'he city shows taste and refinement in its 
 buildings, decorations, and streets. The State-house is so situated as to make a most imposing 
 appearance. As Alabama is one of the great cotton-jiroducing States, we give a characteristic 
 scene in the cotton-fields. 
 
 From .Alabama I went to Florida, the land of fiowers! What memories of old John Ponce 
 de Leo.i linger here! I wondered why the grave looked so dark to him, and why he wished 
 so much to prolong a life which had already become a burden! Ah! could he have indeed 
 accepted the water of life, whose healing stream issues from Calvary, he would have sought 
 no further for the fountain of perennial youth! But his heart was disajjpointed in its c)uest, 
 and he went home only to tell of his failure, and of a land floating in perfumes, which he 
 named Florida. .Alas! poor Leon! Mark Twain also hails from Florida, describing as he 
 does', far better than I can, experiences which both he and I have had when, in our jnlgrim- 
 ages, we have been "innocents abroad." 
 
 Every mile of my travel now was through a delightfully green coimtry, flooded with 
 sunshine and the grateful odors of flowering trees. The i)ine, cedar, and live-oak forests send 
 into the 0|)en car-windows most pungent and refreshing draughts as we whirl along on our 
 way to Tallahassee, the capital of the State. It is a shady little city of about two thousand 
 inhabitants. I arrived just in time to appear before my waiting audience, which was a good 
 one. I was compelled to use the organ jirovided me, which had been elevated to the top 
 of the pulpit, on a level with the sides of the galleries. Between me and the audience was 
 a great, burly negro, with a lever, pumping away with all his might to give wind for the 
 organ. It was a very comical sight, and my sense of the ridiculous nearly overmastered me 
 several times. How could one be expected to do one's best, perched up in that stvle as if 
 some strange s])ecimen to be examined? and that white-eyed, tugging, sweating creature just 
 before one! It would be unreasonable, certainly.

 /X THE SOUTH. 
 
 My next engagement in the State called me to Jacksonville, a beautiful city situated on 
 the St. Johns River. Here oranges hang temptingly above one's head on the trees in Jan- 
 uary and February; flowers perfume the air, and birds circle about in the sunshine. This 
 State is our Italv. 
 
 PICKING COTTON IN THE SOCTH, 
 
 I had the great pleasure of singing to a large number of invalids, who had come here 
 in search of health. Oh, how many weary ones there are in this world who spend the larger 
 part of their lives in "looking for a climate!" and yet where does the Great Healer dwell? 
 Faith, more faith, is what our poor humanity needs. The Good Physician can cure us in 
 our homes — can he not ? — if we will but believe for healing. At Jacksonville we embark for 
 the West India Islands, making a thorough pilgrimage through Jamaica.

 In our circuit and detours of Jamaica, we have traveled nine hundred and twenty-five 
 miles without an insult or accident. The things that most inii)ressed us were the unbounded 
 hospitality of the Jamaicans, the intelligence of the natives, the jjleasant appearance and large- 
 ness of the places of worshi]), the catholicity of spirit cherished by many Christian people, 
 the excellence of the roads, the varieties of climate, and the surpassing natural beauty of the 
 Island. Our first engagement called us to Kingston, and after a most cordial and delightful 
 reception in this city we started with our horses and carriage for a three month's tour of the 
 Island. The old Spanish caijital ne.xt claimed our attention through the medium of the W'es- 
 leyans, who gave us a hearty greeting. At Vere \ve were for the first time shown over the 
 great sugar estates and factories, which I could not help contrasting with my boyhood expe- 
 rience of making sugar from the sap of maple trees on a small scale. The lamous "Bog

 Walk" treated us with its grandeur as we went on to sing at Linstead and Old Harlior. 
 Lea\ing the Hat lands of the Alley we journeyed to Porus "and Mandeville. At the former 
 place, by the kindness nf the Rev. Thomas B. Black, we greatly enjoyed a two days' stop at 
 their mission home overlooking a varied landscape, while at Mandeville we were the guests 
 of Rev. Mr. Panton and his estimable family. At Wesley Mount we were made at home 
 by the R.ev. Mr. Rleby. who seems to be following the footsteps of his heroic father. Next 
 came Mizpah and Fairfield, the Moravian headquarter, where we almost seemed to catch 
 glimpses of Beulah Land. These good people seem to take to the hills, where they can let 
 their light shine all over the surrounding country. Here we could see one of the most 
 charming landscapes in the world. At our feet stretched broad savannahs of morass and 
 cane, while beyond lay another range of hills with the blue backgroimd of the sea, revealing 
 every oudinc of their summits and varied colored foliage, intersjiersed with coffee bush, and 
 native flowers, and these all tinted by the shades of the fast setting sun, served to make as 
 lovely a panorama of nature's beauty as can be imagined. By the kind introduction of his 
 
IV /-.sr IXDJA JSLAXDS. 
 
 lordship — good IJishop Nuttall — and the hearty siipi)ort of ministers of nearly every denom- 
 ination, the churches and chapels have been open to us wherever we went; and such cour- 
 tesies as we have experienced during our sojourn we can not forget, and the cordiality seems 
 to have come from all classes. Our engagements having called us to almost every jiarl of 
 Jamaica, has caused us to put it down as one of the most jdeasant places we have visited. 
 Santa Cruz, Lacovia, Black River, Bethlehem, and Mountain Side gave us fine audiences 
 and marked attention. The Black River malaria, of which we were warned, did not trouble 
 us in the least. 
 
 .\fter spending a delightful Sabbath at the hospitable home of W. H. Alljjort, Esq., at 
 
 Kepps, we visited C.'armel, 
 meeting another genial spirit, 
 Rev. Jonathan Reinke. At 
 Sav-la-Mar we were recijjients 
 of the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. 
 Prior's hospitality. We were 
 a little amused to see one 
 hundred children swarming in 
 and around the mission home 
 witii their mothers (not fa- 
 thers) asking Mr. Prior to 
 baptize them before leaving 
 for his new field of labor. 
 From Lucea, with its fine har- 
 bor and surrounding cane- 
 fields, we journeyed over thirty 
 miles to Chichester, and after 
 singing to a good audience at 
 Mount AVard w-e reached 
 Montego Bay, where, for six 
 days, we greatly enjoyed our- 
 selves. The Rev. Adam 
 Thomjison and his interesting 
 daughters, by their kind hos- 
 pitality, making us loth to 
 leave. At Falmouth and 
 lirown's Town we held four 
 "Evenings'" under the auspi- 
 ces of the Baptists. At the 
 latter place our first service 
 was in the Rev. George Hen- 
 derson's church, and as Mr. 
 Hender.son was educated at 
 Hamilton University in my 
 own State, we could hardly 
 help feeling at hoine in his 
 church and family. Our sec- 
 ond service was in the Taber- 
 nacle, which was splendidly 
 decorated with flags, flowers, 
 mottoes, even a bearing ba- 
 nana tree, and filled with as 
 ajjiireciative and attentive an audience as we have sung to in Jamaica. 
 
 Dry Harbor (though wet that night) and Beechamville came next on our program, the 
 latter place being the home of the oldest Wesleyan missionary on the Island, Rev. H. B. 
 Foster, who treated us with a kindness long to J3e remembered. Moneague, St. Anns Bay, 
 and Port Maria were our next stops. En route we left our carriage in order to get a view 
 of the thousand cascades of the clear waters of the Roaring River. 
 
 The road from here to Ocho Rios we think the most charming coast road we have ever 
 traveled over. Port Ontonio impressed us as a thriving little seaport, with its enterprise and 
 thrifty inhabitants. Here the Wesleyans seem alive under the care of a Welchman. At 
 Golden Grove we enjoyed seeing the cultivated plains of sugar-cane, tarrying for the night

 and for the first time at a planter's house, afterwards visiting Bath and Morant Bay. But 
 before bringing these remarks to a elose I can not help mentioning our ajjpreeiation of the 
 kind patronage of his excellency Sir Anthony and Lady Musgrove, his lordship the Bishop 
 of Jamaica and Royal Commissioners, and several ("ustodes, who gave their inlluence towards 
 the success of our services. To sum up, we enjoyed our trip beyond all ex[)ectations. But 
 we must bid farewell to Jamaica and its good peo])le, and return to the United States, giving 
 my next service in the great south-eastern cotton market. Savannah, the capital of Georgia, 
 after which I went to Atlanta, where my old Iriend, Rev. George Standing, had charge of 
 the church in which my service was conducted; and we had a most enjoyable evening. I 
 was never in better voice and spirits, and my audience seemed well entertained. It was 
 com|)osed mostly of colored people, with several teachers and members of the -'Clark School 
 Institute." 
 
 Leaving here quite early in the morning, I reached Opelika, a town of about three thou- 
 sand inhabitants, "away down in Alabama." While walking from the depot to the hotel, I 
 was met by a half-drunken fellow, who jirotessed to be a((|uainted with me. It is probable 
 that he had attended some of my meetings somewhere, but 1 did not recall his features. 
 His good-nature was consummate. He insisted upon walking with me, and introducing me to 
 almost every one we met. It was ludicrous in the extreme. Perhaps he was one of my con- 
 verts. I should look for no better result if I did not depend upon God to do the con\erting 
 in my work. After being presented to over a dozen persons by in)' jolly companion, we 
 reached the hotel, and I managed to shake off the intruder. 
 
 My singing had been well advertised, and an excursion jjarty from Albany had come 
 on, to be present at the service. Here I spent my first Sabbath in Alabama. In the after- 
 noon I went to a large church — more like a barn with the windows out — to hear a young 
 colored preacher give his first sermon. 1 could hear nothing but his text, and that only 
 about once in fifteen minutes. He spoke all the other parts in such a high, unnatural key 
 that I could make nothing of it. He frothed at the mouth and watered at the eyes with his 
 efforts. When completely exhausted he let his voice sink down to an ordinary tone, and 
 repeated what he gave as his text: "I tell 'e what it is, ye must fear (iod." He had a 
 congregation of at least one thousand people. During the exercises two colored "mothers in 
 Israel " were walking up and down through the audience, shouting, jumping, and clapping 
 their hands. This evidenced religious joy, I sujjpose; but it was the most ludicrous thing 
 imaginable. The din was incessant. i\Iy ears were fairly ringing with the strain u|)on the 
 tympanum. 
 
 Selma, near the center of the State, was the next jioint I visited. I found it a beautiful 
 Southern city. Through the excellent management of Mr. Hobbs I had a good audience 
 and a pleasant time. Jefferson Davis, ex-President of the Confederate States, sat in the as- 
 sembly Ijefore me. What thoughts stirred in my mind as I gazed upon his careworn face 
 I shall not undertake to relate ; but how thankful I was that 1 from the North and he from 
 the South had no more need of embarrassment in meeting, but could rejoice in sweet fellow- 
 ship over a simple gospel song I 
 
 My next journey was to Augusta, the third city of Georgia in ])opulation, and one of 
 the most beautiful in the South; and from here to the chief commercial city of South Car- 
 olina, Charleston. It was here that the first gun was fired during our civil war. In the 
 month of January, i86i, the steamer Star of tlu West attempted to enter Charleston harbor 
 witii supplies for the garrison stationed at Fort Sumter. In doing so, however, the vessel 
 was fired upon and driven back by batteries which the South Carolinians had erected on the 
 adjacent shores. Thus began one of the most lamentable wars on record. And now it was 
 here, after all those terrible years of bloodshed and national disintegration, that I was called 
 in a time of peace to sing to an audience oi fnrJmoi ! There before me, with their ebony 
 faces all aglow with enthusiasm, was the grand result of that fearful struggle. Let us be 
 thankful that it is over, and that we still have a uniied ])eo])le in North and South ! My 
 congregation was made up of colored people of all shades of complexion. There were many 
 whose fairness made one doubt the taint of their blood: while others displayed the unmistak- 
 able features of the full-born African. They were very extravagant in their demonstrations 
 of appreciation, and seemed a refined class of their race. Since my visit to Charleston the 
 city has almost been completely destroyed by a fearful earthquake. 
 
 From this point I went to Columbia, the cai)ital of South Carolina. This litde State 
 has long been noted as the first rice-growing State in the Union. The coast is skirted with 
 fertile islands, which produce the Sea Island cotton. Among the pleasant things of my visit 
 to Columbia, was the new acquaintance and Christian sympathy of J. W. Wigluman, D. D., 
 
JX THE SOUTH. 
 
 wliusc hospitable '■manse" sheltered me for a few days. I spent a most delightful Sabbath 
 with Jiim, heard the gos])el from his eiocjuent lips, and in the evening gave a song-seimon 
 service to a large and intelligent congregation. I labored to some disadvantage, however, 
 for lack of singing-books, twenty being all I had with me; yet, notwithstanding, the ready 
 sympathy of the people enabled me to forget the embarrassment, and to have a very pleasant 
 evening. .'Vt the close of the exercises a collection was taken up to helj) pay for the church, 
 which was new. The former building had been burned by the Union soldiers during the 
 late war under peculiar circumstances.. It will be remembered that the first ordinance of 
 secession during the War of the Rebellion was adopted in the- Uajnist church of that city. 
 When the Federal soldiers passed through Columbia they mistook the Methodist Episcopal 
 building for the Ba])tist, and in their ijatriotic zeal burned it to the ground. It was a sad 
 mistake which the church of the same name North should endeavor to rectify. The organiza- 
 tion is poor, notwithstanding it has made noble self-denial, and has built again. A beautiful 
 boucpiet of Southern flowers, handed me just at leaving, reminded me for weary miles of the 
 delightful Christian parsonage I had left. I sent them home — the beautiful messengers they 
 ever are — as a January present to my dear wife in the North. 
 
 But my arrangements made it necessary to push on until another long day's ride by train 
 brought me to Coldsboro, and a journey the next day to Wilmington, North Carolina, the 
 State from which we obtain much of our tar, pitch, and turpentine. Though on the sea-coast 
 it has no commerce of its own on account of the shallow, unnavigable nature of its inlets, 
 and the presence of numerous low islands and sand-bars along the shore. Its people, how- 
 ever, are practical and persevering, and have developed various other resources in their State — 
 mining, agriculture, lumbering, and commerce through other ports. 
 
 At Norfolk I met a crowd of most attentive listeners. Many of the Southern brethren 
 were present and extended to me the kindly hand of Christian greeting at the close. "Stay 
 another night," they said, "or come again and we will give you a larger room than this, and 
 fill it with people for you." 
 
 From Norfolk to Raleigh was my next journey; but imagine my astonishment upon reach- 
 ing the place to find that it was decided not to open the church for me. No previous notice 
 had been given ; and there I was with my organ (which had been purposely ordered on from 
 Boston, forty dollars of traveling expenses, two hundred miles out of my way, and no engage- 
 ment I I managed to restrain my "righteous indignation," settle my bills, and then shake 
 off the dust of their city against them. 
 
 My next engagement was at Richmond, Virginia. The "Old Dominion" has the honor 
 of being the birthplace of seven of our Presidents. It is low and level toward the east, but 
 gradually rises as the land grades westward into the Blue Ridge Mountains. The history of 
 Virginia is one full of interest, as she took such active part in the early colonial struggles. 
 
 No State in the Union has such universal reputation for whole-hearted hospitality as this 
 one. Before the war "an old Virginia planter's home" was the Northern guest's paradise. 
 
 Richmond is a very old city, comprising a population of some 70,000 inhabitants. It is 
 beautifully situated on the James River. During our late civil war this city was rendered 
 ever memorable by the horrors and cruelty practiced upon Union prisoners at Libby prison, 
 which is located here. 
 
 The fearful sufferings there endured by our patriotic braves have sickened the world's 
 memory of Richmond ; and one passes through her busy marts seeming to hear the cries of 
 distress from those black walls, even when far away from them. Heaven only can atone to 
 them for those tragic days at Libby Prison. While in Libby I thought of Chaplain McCabe, 
 who, being a prisoner here during the war, managed to dig himself out, and bear to the 
 outside world a true account of what was taking jilace inside these walls. Oh, how grandly 
 he had sung the " Battle Hymn of the Republic" within its barriers to cheer up the despairing 
 boys, and then let his brain and fingers contrive as grandly to find means for their escape 
 or relief! No wonder now that people crowd houses to hear his story, sad as it is; for it 
 has an heroic side which is always attractive to patriotic hearts. But Libby is no more ! 
 The stranger may pass in and out of the dark building, which has been converted to a busi- 
 ness use, and never gather more than the faintest hint within its precincts of that terrible time. 
 
 Here I gave my first song sermon to a Southern audience, and my own soul told me 
 that it was a profitable service. It was well received. Before leaving the city I gave three 
 more "evenings of song" to rather small but appreciative houses. My next engagement was 
 but twenty miles away, at Petersburg, a city numbering about twenty thousand in population. 
 The chief commercial interest seems to be tobacco. I'\isited the large factories, where the 
 weed is manufactured into the various trade articles, and heard one thousand five hundred

 coloreil men siiij; logetlicr as they twisted the narcotic weeil. Here I smelled, and smeiled, 
 and smelled, and smelled, until I felt like esr/ii-ji'/'/ix' the abominable thing forever. 'I'he very 
 air seemed contaminated with it. In this State is the grand "natural bridge,'' one of the 
 world's great wonders, an incident in connection with which has been so graphically descriljed 
 by Elilui Burritt, in his sketch "One Niche the Highest.' 
 
 I sang in the Baptist church to a large audience. In this church the pul|)it is baptized 
 with the candidates. The pastor has but to touch a spring and the entire pulpit immediately 
 immerses itself beneath the baptistry. This gives all in the congregation an opportiniity of 
 witnessing the baptismal scenes to better advantage. 
 
 My ne.xt ap[)ointment was at Lynchburg, situated on the James River. This is a noted 
 railroad center, and vast fields of coal and iron ore are found in the vicinity. From here 
 I hurried on to Chattanooga, a city near the famous Lookout Mountain. The place is his- 
 toric. Most of it has been built since the war of 1861. The National Soldiers Cemeteries 
 are here, where over ten thousand are buried. Chattanooga impresses one as a very fast 
 town. I was glad to sing in sight of Lookout Mountain. Knoxville was next my objective 
 point. Near here is the model farm of Colonel Dickinson, which comprises over five hundred 
 acres in the highest state of cultivation; and after this Greenville, the former home and now 
 the burial-jilace of our ex-President Andrew Johnson. The place has little interest to the 
 traveler but for this. The greater part of Eastern Tennessee is mountainous, and a fine grazing 
 country. 
 
 Nashville is very picturesquely situated on an eminence, which gives it a most imposing 
 appearance. Indeed, the city rambles over the hills, and gives one a very delightful feeling 
 of grace and freedom. Two institutions of learning, " Fisk Lhiiversity " and "Central Col- 
 lege," add fame to the place, and bring in a class of cultured people, which nothing else would 
 do so readily. 
 
 The "Fisk University," it will be remembered, was built by the noted "Jubilee Singers," 
 for the education of the colored class who aspired to a higher intellectual training and admis- 
 sion to the professions. These "Jubilee Singers," a small company of gifted colored persons, 
 determined upon a musical tour to raise funds. They possessed remarkably fine, rich voices — 
 as do almost all of their race. Their plan was to give religious concerts, using only the old plan- 
 tation songs of their days of slavery. The attempt proving very successful in the L'nited States, 
 they were encouraged to go abroad, and here we have the result of their praiseworthy efforts. 
 Here we find the true aristocracy of the State, both colored and white. "Central Col- 
 lege" is also for this class, and attracts a good attendance. It is presided over by the faithful 
 Dr. John Braden. It is worth a visit to Nashville to witness the "educated airs" which 
 many of these people of color put on. They can not //<•//' feeling the improved difference in 
 their position, and this knowledge /las and does elevate them. 
 
 Memphis called me next. This is a city of sixty-five thousand inhabitants. It is situated 
 on the Mississippi River, about one hundred miles below the point where the Ohio makes its 
 junction with the former. Memphis is, consequently, the greatest commercial city in Ten- 
 nessee. The State produces wheat, cotton, corn, and tobacco, which, with hogs, mules, and 
 cattle — largely raised in some counties — find a ready market at Memphis. This city also was 
 sadly de]3opulated by the yellow fever scourge of 1878. 
 
 When I reached Memjjhis it was nearly time for my singing. If any of my readers have 
 been over the M. K. & L. R. R. , or the hsf of those South-western lines, some idea can be 
 formed of how I felt after that bouncing trip. But I was thankful to escape with unbroken 
 limbs, and hurried away to my appointment, doing as well as the circumstances would permit. 
 My next stop was at Brownsville, somewhat of a rural town, with the old style forms and 
 sentiments of the South. 
 
 My next State was Arkansas, and I went directly to the capital city, Little Rock. This 
 is a fine, healthy city, and is rapidly growing. Situated on the Arkansas River, which com- 
 municates with the great Mississipjji, sonieAvhat farther down, it forms a popular shi]ij)ing 
 point for the agricultural and the other productions of the interior. It adorns a State which 
 has, thus far, not many attractions; for much of the Arkansas country is dreary in the extreme 
 to the traveler, and not very promising to the politician. Cattle-raising, it is true, is a profit- 
 able business in many parts; but the whole State has yet to be developed in its resources. 
 Railroad trains vex you with their slowness and rough riding. You protest that you could 
 make as good time in walking, and have more comfort. Travelers are constitutional grum- 
 blers, of course ; but there ts much truth in what is .said here. Time is going to do great 
 things for Arkansas, and we must be patient. 
 
 From here we went to Hot Springs, one of the most frequented health resorts in America. 
 
THE CEXIKAL STATES. 
 
 The springs are sixty-six in number, and vary in temperature from 93° to 160° Kahreniieit. 
 Issuing from the slope of the mountain, they discharge about five hundred thousand gallons 
 per day into the creek. The waters are taken both internally and externally, and have effected 
 some marvelous cures of skin diseases. 
 
 Cairo, Illinois, built at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi, was my next st0])|)ing 
 place, and from here we journey to Louis\ille, stopping cii rottle at Paducah and New AUiany, 
 the only important cities on the way. 
 
 C'llAPTII! \\. — I.OtlSVIl.I.K . 
 
 OUISVILLE is the chief city of Kentucky. Its site is one of ])eculiar excellence. 
 This great mart has a population of one hundred and thirty-five thousand, and is 
 consitlered one of the most ])rosperous of Southern cities. It is situated on the 
 Ohio River, and forms a great center of trade for tlx; surrounding country. Ken- 
 tucky is a State of mild and healthful climate, most of it being mountainous. Strangers 
 find an unfiiiling attraction in the magnificent Mammoth Cave, near (Jreen River, which 
 has been worthily classed among the '"seven wonders of the world." 
 
 At one time the cave pro|jerty embraced two himdred acres, and was valued at forty 
 dollars. At present it embraces two thousand acres, and is valued at one hundred and fifty 
 thousand dollars. The Rotunda, Star Chamber, Giant's Coffin, Methodist Church, CJoihic 
 Chajiel, liridal .\ltar, should all be visited ; but as these things must be seen to be understood, 
 I will not attempt to describe the wonders we saw during our wanderings underground. 
 
 Lexington was the next to hear from me. It is, perha])s, the most aristocratic city in 
 Kentucky. Here our noble Henry Clay declared that he would "rather be right than be 
 President" — and he had his choice. In Lexington sacred song received a hearty welcome. I 
 sang under tlie auspices of the Presbyterian Church ; then went forward to Frankfort, the cap- 
 ital of Kentucky. Several smaller places in Kentucky called me to fill engagements — Paris, 
 Cynthiana, and Maysville, one of the oldest towns in the State — in all of which I held my 
 services, and found the people full of hosi)itality and kindly feeling. 
 
 Still moving on, in due time I reached the fine old city of Covington. It does not seem 
 like a Southern city, though accounted such. Situated on the southern bank of the Ohio 
 River, just opposite Cincinnati, and with a population of thirty-two thousand people, it forms 
 one of the most important of trade centers. It is now connected w ith the great city just over 
 the river by tw-o most substantial and attractive bridges. These bridges make the two cities 
 one. Singing in Covington was by no means a new thing to me. 1 had sung here many 
 times before, and always with good encouragement. This last service was not an exception 
 to the rule. 
 
 From Covington I journeyed to Charleston, West Virginia, celebrated as the scene of 
 John Brown's execution. While in this vicinity the remarkable subterranean caverns of Luray 
 should be visited. They offer a spectacle which, in vastness, variety, and beauty, are unsur- 
 ])assed. ^\'e next visited the capital of West Virginia — Wheeling — a flourishing city of over 
 thirty-five thousand inhabitants. I have always been greeted here with large audiences. From 
 here I enter Ohio, a State rich in agricultural resources, and far ahead of many older States 
 in manufactures and commerce. Cohmibus is the capital, with a jjopulation estimated at over 
 seventy-five thou.sand. Twenty-four miles from here and we reach the neat little city of Del- 
 aware. The Ohio Wesleyan University and the Ohio Wesleyan Female College are located 
 here. It was at Marion, in this State, that I found my dear wife, whose devoted comjianion- 
 ship and love have been the chief comfort and solace of my life. No wonder, therefore, that 
 I associate with Ohio my happiest memories of the past. Cincinnati, the Queen City of the 
 State, next to New Vork, claimed the greatest share of my attention. 
 
 FYom Ohio we pass into Indiana, stopping at Richmond, the headquarters of the Western 
 Quakers. Indianapolis, the State capital, in which there is a strong Methodist element, has 
 ever received me heartily. The new State-house here is a magnificent building. A\'e now 
 take train for 'I'erre Haute, beautifully situated on the banks of the Wabash River, and thence 
 to Lafayette, situated at the head of navigation on the Wabash River, and from here to Fort 
 Wayne, one of the chief cities of Indiana, with a population of about thirty thousand. 
 
 The next important point is Toledo, situated on the Maumee River. Its commerce is 
 very large and its manufactures are numerous and important. Leaving Toledo we next ticket 
 for Cleveland, stopping on the way at Oberlin, the seat of Oberlin College, from which no 
 one is excluded on account of sex or color. Cleveland is the second city in size and impor- 
 
■I HE CKXTKAL STATES. 
 
 tance in Ohio. It is laid out witii great taste, the streets being remarkalily wide and uell 
 ])aved. The abundance of shade-trees has given it the title of '-Forest City." 
 
 Going on to Pittsburgh, which we proudly designate the great metropolis of iron, the 
 busy sounds to be a key-note of our transatlantic industr)- and enterprise. Yet after all this 
 busy city is, as it were, a black forest of high smoking and (laming chimneys, reared u])on 
 and amid the grand old Alleghany Mountains, and whose wharves are washed by both the 
 Monongahela and Alleghany rivers just as they merge their waters in the broad Ohio. Here 
 was the home and field of labor of my friend, the late Dr. Alexander Clark: and since his 
 decease I iiave felt that it can never be the same Pittsburgh to me. When there I may not 
 hear his kindly voice, and look again upon his dear familiar face, although the city has itself 
 most tenderly exjiressed its bereavement at his loss. 
 
 My course from thi,s point was on to Newcastle, to sing at the kind invitation of Ira 1). 
 Sankey, who has of late years been doing his own singing, and with blessed results, and wlio. 
 in a recent letter to me, says: "I shall ever look ujion you as one of the biggest factors in 
 my life; for it was you who opened up to me the wondrous power there is in singing the 
 blessed gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." At this time Mr. Sankey was engaged 
 in the revenue department, and was the efficient superintendent of the Newcastle Methodist 
 Sunday-school. Subsequently he became associated with me in singing and in a business 
 capacity for a few years, and in this position came in contact with Mr. Moody, the dual services 
 of whom, in sermon and in song, the Christian world to-day delights to honor. 
 
 In the next stage of my journey I struck Oil City, the center and headquarters of the 
 oil region. It is not particularly attractive to either the eye or the nose, but it will afford 
 the best opportunity of witnessing the various operations of obtaining, refuiing, guaging, and 
 shipping petroleum. 
 
 The vast quantities of petroleum or kerosene oil, which were at first discovered and ob- 
 tained by driving and drilling artesian wells into the earth, from which this wonderful fluid 
 deposit flowed out for many months, and was afterward pumped by steam power, have become 
 in a great measure exhausted, and the world is now supplied with three-fourths of all the oil 
 consumed from the mountain liasin in which the city of Bradford, in this same State, is sit- 
 uated, which fields are immediately reached by narrow-gauge railroads, running up the steep 
 grades of the hills, and crossing the great chasms between them, on skeleton bridges of timber 
 and spiles. Four years ago this agricultural hamlet, nestling among these old hills, was almost 
 isolated from the outer world by the huge batdements of nature, and barely contained one 
 thousand inhabitants. But as if by magic wand it has sprung up into the proportions of a 
 large city of thirteen thousand inhabitants by the discovery of its rich oil deposits ; and in 
 an area of thirty miles in length by from tw^o and one-half to seven miles in width, six thou- 
 sand wells have been sunk, at an average cost of three thousand dollars each, whose skeleton 
 derricks, upreared against the sky, dot all the hills and valleys like so many sentinels — e\en 
 the streets, yards, and gardens of the city proper having these not strictly ornamental struct- 
 ures planted therein, as thickly as shade-trees in many less fortunate but more aristocratic 
 localities. 
 
 The product or yield of these wells is conducted to vast wooden tanks, and from thence 
 forced by steam power through several main lines of large iron pipe (which extend one hun- 
 dred miles or more under ground), over hills, mountains, and plains, and through valleys, 
 gorges, and rivers, to Olean, Williamsport, Salamanca, and other railroad centers, where the 
 oil is conducted into huge oil-tanks built upon platform cars, and thence takei: to the refin- 
 eries in different sections of the country. These oil wells flow spontaneously for about two 
 years, and are pumped for two more, by which time the supply is generally exhausted. The 
 paying wells average a yield of two hundred and forty barrels every twenty-four hours, while 
 the aggregate supply of petroleum from this great subterranean vat, or reservoir, at Bradford, 
 is forty-five thousand barrels each day. Here are gathered speculative and money-seeking 
 characters from not only all portions of my own, but from many foreign countries. 
 
 This entire region has received a fresh boom by the finding of natural gas, which is likely 
 to outrival the oil industry. Natural gas is being found in many parts of Pennsylvania and 
 Ohio, notably in the vicinity of Pittsburgh and Findlay, Ohio. The gas is used for both heating 
 and illuminating purposes, and I think it would be safe to predict that in the next few years all 
 the principal cities in Ohio, ^\'estern Pennsylvania, and New York will be heated by natural 
 gas. Many of the wells have a pressure of six hundred ].)ounds. 
 
 ^Ve next went to ^^^1shington, Pa., to have a look at the crematory, erected about a mile 
 and a half from the town, and where a few bodies have been cremated; and I could not 
 avoid contrasting this with a somewhat similar practice performed by the heathen on the

 banks of the Ganges. We next visit Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania. The city is 
 handsomely built, and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. From the dome of the State-house 
 (which is situated on an eminence) a delightful view can be obtained, l-'rom here we visit 
 Hagerstown. This was the scene of several severe conflicts during the civil war. .Annai)olis, 
 the cai)ital of Maryland, is deserving of a visit if the tourist has time. 
 
 Cii.-vrrrK \'ll. — Washincton. 
 
 ASHINGTON, D. C, was my ne.vt rendezvous, America's Capital City, the center 
 of the great Republican Government. It contains a population of about one hun- 
 
 l,l|£(!|? ot me gre 
 •? V V t}jl ilf'-'tl 'Tul fifiy thousand, and is much admired for its elegant buildings, lastelul 
 
 -) decorations, and wide, clean streets. My first singing here occurred some )ears 
 before, in the Hall of Representatives, in the presence of the President, Abraham 
 •^y^^ Lincoln, and his Cabinet. 
 
 n The simi)licity of the melodies, combined with their lofty sentiment, touched these 
 
 great minds, wearied with the tangled affairs of State, and for a time seemed to bring 
 
 comfort and rest. Mr. Lincoln w-as particularly ]jleased with "Your Mission," and sent up 
 
 a wrilleii request (which I now have in my possession, and regard as a rare relic) to ha\e it

 repeated. .Among those present on that occasion may be mentioned \Vm. H. Seward, Salmon 
 P. Chase, Charles Sumner, Fessenden, Secretary of the Treasury; Stanton, Secretary of A\'ar; 
 Wells, Schuyler Colfax, Washburne, Blaine. Dawes, Boutwell, W. S. Hancock, General James 
 A. Garfield, and representatives of the highest social culture of the country adorned and 
 graced the occasion. I have given many services in the capital since then, and have always

 had good audiences. I visited Washington in the winter of 1878, en route for Texas, on 
 which occasion I i)aid my resjjects to President Hayes and his estimable lady at the White 
 House. 
 
 HALL OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON. 
 
 The most prominent object in the city is the Capitol building. The beholder is impressed 
 with its noble proportions, its magnificent collonades, and its great dome. The United States 
 Treasury, War and Navy Departments. Patent Office, new Pension Building, Smithsonian In- 
 stitution, and Washington Monument should all be visited. 
 
 Singing on in my course I soon found myself at Baltimore, the " Monumental City," and 
 largest city of Maryland. This State lies directly west of Delaware, and is pierced by the 
 Chesa])eake Bay. Tlie area is about nine thousand three hundred square miles. The western 
 part of the State is hilly, or mountainous, but as it slo|)es eastward it becomes level. 
 
 The Bay forms a most excellent avenue of commerce, and furnishes the State with other 
 important resources. Baltimore is famed as a beautiful city all over the world. It contains 
 a population of about four hundred thousand souls. My first appearance here was at the 
 anniversary of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Churfh. My style of music 
 was altogether new to Baltimoreans, and they seemed (juite entranced with it. Some in the 
 audience even fell to shouting over it. There is no city in America more Methodistic than 
 Baltimore; nor scarcely another equal to it in hospitality to strangers. I went from church 
 to church here, and sang to gathered crowds; and over seven thousand children collected to 
 listen to my songs, at the Market Hall. I stood on a stand and sang until I was tired and 
 hoarse. Afterward I gave a service in one of the Baptist churches. The program of the 
 evening was just about half finished when the Rev. Griffith Owen came to me, and asked 
 if I would allow an interruption for a few moments. Of course I willingly consented, and 
 seated myself to rest awhile. There was a slight rustle in the congregation, and in a moment 
 a couple stood before the altar to be married. Why they had chosen this time for the beau- 
 tiful ceremony, I do not know; but it seemed most appropriate to celebrate so glad a sacra- 
 ment in the midst of joy and song. At the close of the ceremony I sang a nuptial hymn, 
 and they went on their way rejoicing. It formed a very pleasant episode in our meeting, 
 as one may imagine. 
 
 From here I was invited to give about twenty-five services of song through the State 
 under the auspices of the State Sunday-school Association. 
 
 Dover is the capital of Delaware, and Wilmington its chief city. Here I held a service 
 of song, as I did in all the larger cities and towns of the State, every-where finding the people 
 hospitable and appreciative. 
 
 From here I turned to the "Quaker city" of Philadelphia, a city of staid, quiet. God- 
 fearing and law-abiding people, whose natural characteristics display themselves in the regu- 
 larity and width of the streets, the cleanliness, wealth, and refinement evident every-where. 
 It has a proud history, having been the birth-place of .American Independence.

 My audience here was four thousand strong. I was introduced to the assembly by George 
 H. Stuart, who, in presenting me, said: "Ahhough my friends tell me I have no taste in 
 mu^ic, yet I have eyes that could weep with I'resident Lincoln, when Mr. Thillips sang his 
 touching songs in Washington." While here I met Mr. R. Pearsall Smith, who has since 
 scattered his notes on the "Rest of Faith" over our own land. Great liritain, and even up 
 into the palace of the German king. It was after a "service of song," held at the Ebenezer 
 Church, that Mr. Smith called me aside and gave me some words of strong encouragement 
 which have been a great blessing to me ever since. Shortly after this Mr. Smith wrote me 
 a very urgent request to visit his father's house, and there sing some of my songs. He said : 
 ".My father is a good man; but although all his children are Christians, he has never made 
 a profession. Now, Brother Phillips, I have faith to believe that if you will go there, and 
 sing some of your hymns, he will give his heart to Christ." Such was the entreaty; so I 
 fi.\ed upon a date, and went. Most of the family were present, and nearly all in the somber 
 garb of Quakers. Pearsall Smith had forethought to invite that saintly man, Rev. Alfred 
 Cookman, to be present; he and myself were the only ones there besides the family. 
 
 At Pearsall Smith's request I sang, the old man, with his white locks, listening attentively. 
 After I had finislied one piece he said to me: "Will you jjlease sing that over again?" So 
 I sang the hymn, "What hast Thou done for me?" again to please him — 
 
 "I spent long years for thee 
 
 In weariness and woe, 
 That one eternity 
 
 Of joy thou mijjhtest know! 
 I spent long years lor thee, for thee. 
 
 Hast tliou spent one for me?'' 
 
 The father of seventy years was weeping as I closed. "Let us pray," said Alfred Cook- 
 man. They all knelt, and he did pray for the old man's salvation; and that prayer was heard 
 above! Then and there the old man had born within him a hojie of eternal life. He gave 
 himself up to Christ, who had given His life for him, as the hymn said, and we all rejoiced 
 together. Speaking aside to Pearsall Smith in the course of the evening, 1 said: " How 
 strange this is!" "Why so?" he returned; "I expected it, just as I wrote you, for I felt that 
 God would honor the means." This was one of the happiest evenings of my life, for i't was 
 one of song and salvation. 
 
 From Philadelphia I made for Trenton, the capital of New Jersey, to sing at a reunion 
 conference of Methodist ministers. This convention is associated in my recollection with very 
 happy memories. I met with a most appreciative reception at the hands of both the confer- 
 ence and the press: but, better than this, my work was owned by Him whose divine approval 
 far outvalues every earthly triumph. No less than three persons wrote to me after that con- 
 
J.V THE U EST. 
 
 fcrence, dating llicir conversion to it, and ascribing tiicir change of heart to the gospel of 
 my songs. New Jersey is an old i)lace for An\erica; Fins, Swedes, and English being among 
 its earlier settlers. Krom this mixed ancestry has develojied that quaint character — a "Jersey- 
 man" — who is famous every-where for his oddity. In the last century the State constitution 
 of New Jersey provided for universal suffrage; white and black, male and female, sharing 
 equally the privilege. This, however, has been considerably modified since. 
 
 At Ocean Grove, this State, I conducted a song jubilee for a week. I'rom this delighiful 
 place I proceeded to the coal-fields in the Juniata valley, receiving a hearty receiition from 
 the citizens of Altoona, which seems to be a mountain railroad center; at Mauch Chunk, the 
 Switzerland of .America, where the railway cars are carried over liie mountain by the force of 
 gravity; at Scranton, Wilkesbarre, \\'illiamsi)ort, and Pittston, in which latter place a mountain 
 of coal has been burning for the last three years, and almost threatening to undermine the 
 city itself. All these localities are the centers of immense coal interests, and beneath the .soil 
 on which they are built, and with which they are surrounded, lie great beds of anthracite 
 coal, sufficient to furnish fuel for the whole world for centuries to come. Every-where in this 
 section of the State my services were largely attended and well received. 
 
 From thence I went on to Chambersburg, and then to Gettysburg, where the great and 
 decisive battle of the Rebellion was successfully fought under General Meade. After a lengthy 
 visit to the great battle-field, where so many of my countrymen yielded up their lives, I re- 
 turned to the city and gave my evening's service of song ; but during its e.xercises I could 
 almost imagine I heard the sounds of the carnage which so lately filled the air where now I 
 was singing the hymns of peace and love. 
 
 Shortly after my visit to this great battle-ground, we started upon our tour around the 
 world, and as the important points intervening between here and St. Louis have been already, 
 described, I must ask the attention of my readers to the metropolis of Missouri. 
 
 SI. LOUIS LUlDGIi 0\ EK THE Mis 
 
 Missouri can boast one of the largest, and, perhaps, for its size, one of the wealthiest cities 
 in America, having a population of over 500.000 souls, and of vast commercial importance 
 to the South-west and the world. St. Louis is finely situated on the west bank of the great 
 Mississippi River; and had its citizens possessed the driving spirit of enterprise which char- 
 acterizes those of Chicago, it could not have failed to become preeminently above all others 
 the great commercial center of export and import for our Western world. Here the Missis- 
 sippi" is spanned by the longest and finest bridge in the United States, connecting the Illinois 
 and Missouri shores, over which passes an almost constant stream of railway, passenger, and 
 freight cars, as well as vehicles and foot passengers, while the city proper is so tunneled that 
 
JX /J/J: llhS/. 
 
 43 
 
 passengers and freight pass under it in transit to and from the far West without change or 
 transfer. 
 
 I'Vom St. Louis we pass on to Jefferson City, the capital of the State of Missouri, and 
 thence to Kansas City, which appears to be grandly struggling to become the gate city to 
 the great South-west, whose high bluffs are graduall) being le\eled by the enterprising people 
 of this fast-growing city. Thence I went on to Sedalia and St. Joseph, which latter is, |)er- 
 haps, the wealthiest city in this portion of the State, and which is quite jealous of its rival, 
 Kansas City. 
 
 OAKIiEN OF THE l.nHS- 
 
 My next stop was at Quincy, one of the liveliest cities in Illinois. We also visited Peoria, 
 another thriving Illinois town. Rock Island is another flourishing city. Here is the Central 
 United States Arsenal and Armory. Just oi)i)Osite is the city of Davenport, the second city 
 of Iowa; At the head of navigation, on the Des Moines River, is situated the city of Des 
 ^Toines, the capital of Iowa. The ne.xt stop I made was at Council Bluffs. Here the great 
 Missouri River bridge connects with Omaha, the largest city of Nebraska. It occupies a

 evening; but, although the building had been secured, there seemed no possible way of 
 advertising the occasion; but the Lord made all things easy in the following manner: On 
 Sunday morning we three friends visited the Mormon schools, where we foimd one of my 
 music-books in use; and, my presence being announced, I was asked to sing, which I prom- 
 ised to do after Mr. Moody had spok- 
 en, doing from thence we attended 
 service in the new 'rabernacle, where, 
 after a two-hours' address by Orson 
 Pratt, the Mormon apostle, one of the 
 elders said: "Brother Pratt, you've 
 preached long encjugh;" and the su- 
 perintendent of the school we had just 
 left added: "We've got Philip Phil- 
 lijjs here, from New York, and many 
 of us would like to hear him sing." 
 Upon this I was invited forward ; but 
 there being no instrument I merely 
 told the peo[)le tiiat if they wanted to 
 hear me they must attend the service 
 that was to be held afterwards in the 
 old Tabernacle. This was the only 
 announcement that was possible; but 
 as there were ten thousand people 
 present, it was more than enough. 
 Upon hearing the name of the old 
 Tabernacle, several people called out: 
 "Why not the new? the old one is 
 too small ; " and it was immediately 
 arranged that the service should be 
 held in the very place that had been 
 
 ])reviously refused for it, and an audience of eight thousand was secured in the only possible 
 way. Such was an early result of Mr. Moody's faith, which afterwards accomplished so much 
 both in England and America. 
 
 Again we seated ourselves in a comfortable parlor car, and went speeding over the broad 
 plains, through the flickering light and darkness of the snow-sheds, erected to guard the line 
 against destruction by snow-slides. These sheds are like tunnels, and interrupt the view of 
 some of the most romantic scenery on the line. Through tunnels and gulches, and along 
 the brow of ravines and precipices our iron pathway takes us until we reach San Francisco.

 Chaptf.r IX. — Through the Golden Gate. 
 
 Ip-T was on the eighth of March that we once more bade our California friends adieu; 
 and, being nicely located on board the staunch steamer Cy])hrenes, set sail for the 
 ^Ifr largest island in the world — Australia; the wc in the case being myself, my wife, 
 '(' '^'*^ ^ffl ™y t^^'o sons. From childhood a charm has l)een associated with the name 
 ^''^ of Australia. The word is from the Latin australis, signifying "southern." A strange- 
 ness and far-offness has always lingered in the meaning of the word ; and no books 
 on the subject, nor any of the occasional newspaper accounts — although I have latterly 
 ' perused not a few — have ever fully dispelled the sense of isolation and weirdness rej)- 
 resented by the musical syllables — Australia. 
 
 The anchor weighed, the ropes cast from the moorings and hauled in, the gangway drawn 
 which separates us from friends and native land, slowly we glide away from the wharf — 
 jiast Alketras Island and Seal Rock, down through the CJolden (late ; while the waving hand- 
 kerchiefs of our dear friends, growing fainter and fainter to our sight, now become as tiny 
 white specks upon the horizon of our vision, and finally disappearing altogether, make us alive 
 to the reality of crossing the great Pacific. 
 
 Our steamer was a good, strong ship, built on the River Clyde for the Eastern tea trade, 
 owned in Liverpool, and well manned by English sailors. Its captain, Mr. Wood, was an 
 excellent mariner. Among the officers we may mention specially the chief engineer, who, 
 
40

 being a teetotaler, was a world of comfort to us during the entire passage on account of his 
 freeilom from a vice to which so many who follow the high seas are addicted. The ship's 
 surgeon, however, was directly the opposite of this gentleman, being profane in language, 
 jirolific in abuse, brutal in habit; and had not the captain |)laced him under guard on sev- 
 eral occasions during the voyage, serious troubles miglit have resulted in consequence of his 
 overbearing disposition. .\s to his medical skill, evidently some special providence gave little 
 or no op|)ortunity of jnitting it to the test. 
 
 Imagine yourself and family confined within the narrow limits of a ship, on a thirty-eight- 
 days' passage on the |)athless ocean, bound for a far land of which you know but little, 
 accompanied by twentv-six jiassengers from almost as many different nations, whose principal 
 pastime is gambling and drinking, and you will appreciate my condition. 
 
 THROfCH THE GOI.DEX CATR, CALIFORNIA. 
 
 There was a complete sense of isolation from mankind to me in this voyage, as with my 
 dear little family I occupied my time in reading, conversation, playing at quoits, and other 
 simple pastimes, which served to relieve the monotony of sea life. 
 
 Our steamer, although of staunch build, was not noted for speed, its average being about 
 two hundred miles in twenty-four hours. On pleasant days we spent much time upon the 
 deck. Here we watched the hundreds of sea gulls that circled round and round the ship on 
 graceful wing in quest of food that might be thrown to them, while they wildly screamed in 
 their attempts to preserve their maritime rights, one against the other, in gaining possession 
 of the same. But the sailors told us we were soon to lose sight of our aerial cornpanions, 
 as these birds would cease to follow us when our prow began to part the waters of mid-ocean. 
 
 The habits of the flying fish also afforded us much amusement, as they suddenly started 
 up from the waves in shoals, and alighted again about two hundred yards away. It is said 
 that the larger fish chase them, and that the good Creator has bestowed upon them this won- 
 derful power to e.scape from the pursuit of their imjjlacable enemies. I would that humanity 
 were possessed of such a gracious gift wherewith to baffle and fly away from the clutches of 
 temptation '. These singular fish are from four to eight inches in length, and glisten like pieces

 of burnished silver as they dart through the air about ten feet above the water. It often 
 happens that they fall upon the decks of vessels, and are accounted most delicious food. 
 
 With beautiful moonlight nights and wooing breezes we began to feel the warmer jjreaih 
 of the tropics fanning our cheeks. The sea gull had been left behind; and that large brown 
 bird, the albatross, measuring several feet from tij) to tip of wing, had taken its place as ocean 
 mendicant. On our first Sabbath on the Pacific, at eleven o'clock in the morning, the ca])tain 
 read the service on deck, but it seemed cold and heartless. How the Christian heart loves 
 to whisper into the Infinite ear its almost infinite necessities, communing with the great Father 
 in the warmth of child-like affection, unchilled by the fanaticism of stereotyjied prayer; and 
 how thankful were we on board this good sliip that the " K\er-present " is also the "ever 
 ready " to hear and bless his children I 
 
 HONOLULU, SANDWICH 
 
 After a smooth passage of ten days, at two o'clock in the morning, we were safely moored 
 in the peaceful harbor of Honolulu. Late in the afternoon we had passed .Maui to our e.\- 
 treme left, but were too far distant to behold her luxuriant tropical growth of fruit, flower, 
 and foliage. Soon after we were passing through the Molokai Channel, but it was so late 
 that we could only see the volcanic clifis of Oahu, of which Honolulu is the capital, faintly 
 outlined by the moonlight. Rounding Diamond Head at about midnight, rockets were sent 
 up to signal jiilots that they might come on board and take our ship safely through the hidden 
 reefs and coral beds, so plentiful in the beautiful bay of the metropolis of this famous island 
 group. 
 
 Landing at the unseasonable hour of three o'clock in the morning, we proceeded to the 
 only hotel on the island, and which is under the management of the government. Here we 
 found every room occupied; but the clerk kindly vacated and prepared his own room for 
 our accommodation that we might take a short rest; and for about two hours our little family 
 quartette lay crosswise on one bed and soundly slept. When we awakened in the early morn- 
 ing, and looked out upon our surroimdings, it seemed as though we had been suddenly 
 transported into an earthly paradise of fresh fruits, beautiful flowers, and rare exotics. At 
 six o'clock we were agreeably sur|irised by a visit from the good Dr. Damon, the. seamen's 
 friend, one of the oldest missionaries upon the island, and known the world over by the 
 mariners as the spiritual father of the children of the seas. His gentle tap at the door and 
 a response from his lips brought me cpiickly to my feet, and I found him all aglow with hos

 il.i\oi.ri r. OK iiM<noK of kust.- 
 
 piiality, and anxious for a service of song before 1 should recmhark. Ascertaining that our 
 ship would remain in port for twenty hours, a service was accordingly arranged and adver- 
 tised for six o'clock that afternoon, to be held al the Congregational Church, of which Rev. 
 Dr. Friers was i)astor. 
 
 Now for a full day of sight-seeing in and about Honolulu, which then seemed to us the 
 most enchanting s]jot that our eyes had ever rested upon. Hut, first of all, we desired to see 
 Mrs. 'I'luirston and Mrs. W'elib, the dear old missionaries of more than thirty years' residence 
 on these islands — the latter a sister of Dr. Thomas Hastings, of New York. Dr. Damon 
 l)laced himself and his carriage at our disposal, and a kind stranger lent a fine riding-horse 
 for James to follow us from behind ; but he followed us as most l)oys do, by going on before, 
 and secured to himself an amount of e.vercise in the saddle which nearly inca])acitated him 
 from keeping his feet when he dismounted. Never did «e spend a more enjoyable day than 
 here on this pioneer American missionary ground. 
 
 Honolulu is a city of about 10,000 inhabitants, 4.000 of whom are, for the most part, 
 Americans, and the balance natives. The latter are a noble-looking, large, and well-propor- 
 tioned people, of about the same complexion as the 
 North American Indian, cleanly in habit, and well 
 dressed. Very little of the African type is visible in 
 their features. The women are of large build and 
 good-looking, and wear long dresses, hanging loose 
 from neck to feet. 
 
 It has often been stated that the natives were 
 once cannibals, but the more intelligent ]ieople here 
 deny the charge, and assert that it is incapable of 
 |)roof. It is true, however, that fifty years ago this 
 ])eople were uncivilized, and living in heathenish 
 darkness ; and we can not but be grateful that God 
 ever jjut it into the hearts of some of New England's 
 sons and daughters to try to do them good, and that 
 He has blessed their efforts so signally. 
 
 During the forty years that the Hawaiian lan- 
 guage has been written and printed, school-houses 
 and churches have sprung up as plentifully, accord- 
 ing to the population, as in the United States; and 
 I have been informed that as large a proportion of 
 the people can read and write as in either England 
 or .America. It is estimated that there are about 
 sixtv thousand inhabitants on all the islands of the 
 group; but it is authoritatively stated that, for the 
 last twenty years, the native population has steadily 
 decreased. 
 
 The principal product of these islands is sugar, 
 and it is believed that in no part of the world can 
 so large a crop be raised to the acre as here. Up 
 to the time of my visit, the ])lanters had labored under the great disadvantage of not having 
 a market for this crop near home, the expense of transportation to distant parts leaving the 
 grower but litde profit, if any at all. In the year 1875 ^^^ king, Kalakaua, made an ex- 
 tensive visit to the United States, and by his genial and winning manner and diplomatic skill 
 so managed his suit as to induce our government to pass the Hawaiian sugars through our 
 customs free — or nearly so — from duty. Now the islands are more prosperous than ever be- 
 fore ; and this great triumph of the king, in the interests of his subjects, has made him ex- 
 ceedingly po]nilar. 
 
 As we were driving past the king's palace, we observed a collection of natives in front 
 of the main entrance, who, upon alighting from our carriage and going near, we learned were 
 singing the king's welcome home again, he having returned only a day or two previous from 
 his visit to America. Several hundred of them had also come bearing little tokens of regard 
 to their king, such as eggs, jiotatoes, cabbage, money, and any thing by which they might 
 express their loyalty to their sovereign, and their joy and gladness at his return. We were 
 much interested in witnessing this devotion of the people to their ruler, and in gazing upon 
 his great piles of vegetable gifts, as well as listening to the Hawaiian festivities, partaking so 
 thoroughly of the aboriginnl custom of celebrating this event.

 The king, having observed us near his palace, came to the front door and invited lis to 
 €nter, which courtesy we gladly accepted. 1 had a very enjoyable chat with his majesty, in 
 the course of which he e.\[)ressed himself as having been very much pleased with every thing 
 which came to his notice during his recent visit to America. He speaks the English lan- 
 guage fluently, is a good conversationalist, and is seemingly as thoroughly polite and intelli- 
 gent as any of our members of Congress. 
 
 From the ])alace we went to the House of Parliament, a fine structure, whose walls were 
 tastefully adorned with pictures, having for their subject the history of the island. We also 
 visited one of the native churches, having seating capacity for at least twenty-five hundred 
 people, where the gospel is preached in the Hawaiian language. Without doubt no field of 
 labor has shown a greater success in answer to missionary effort than this, and all in the short 
 sp^ce of forty years. 
 
 The tropical fruits are of the finest quality and in great abundance; the oranges and 
 bananas are luscious and beautiful. The chief food of the natives is poie, a vegetable some- 
 what resembling our potato, which is jjrepared for eating in the form of a batter, and sold 
 in the public streets. The hospitality of the jieople is unbounded, and one ot» their most 
 striking characteristics. It is not unusual for them to vacate their own apartments for the 
 accommodation and entertainment of strangers. 
 
 Some of the residences are ecpial in beauty and elegance to many found in Europe or 
 .\merica, and are embellished with fine grounds, adorned with flowers and shrubbery. Of 
 these we particularly noticed the |)alatial homes of several wealthy Chinese merchants. M'e 
 dined with Mr. H. Si. Whitney, the editor and luiblisher of the daily newspajjer, a large book- 
 seller, and one of the most influential citizens of the island, from whom we gathered much 
 information concerning the islands and their population. Perhaps Mr. John Waterhouse has 
 the finest residence in Honolulu, to which we were invited after my service of song, and ]>ar- 
 took of one of the most luxurious repasts ever spread for the refreshment of the body. Dur- 
 ing jhe hour which we spent at his stable in the enjoyment of the good English cooking and 
 rare delicacies of confection and fruit, he set his music boxes in play and his birds to singing, 
 while he discoursed of religious works and enterprises with his soul full of evangelistic ardor. 
 
 Evening came on apace, and had I not been so weary in body, I really should have 
 felt myself in an earthly paradise, the people were so cordial, loving, and kind, while these 
 fair islands looked as beautiful and peaceful as the gardens of the Lord. Then came to mc 
 an almost overmastering desire to rest for a time among the Sandwich Islanders, and sing 
 the new song of our Savior- King to the curious inhabitants who had been transformed from 
 paganism by the power of the go.spel, and of sharing the joys of salvation with the missionaries 
 and Christianized multitude. 
 
 At my only service of song at Honolulu was a large audience of English-speaking people, 
 to whom I sang as well as I could for an hour, with the soft tro])ical breeze fanning my 
 cheeks, and the distant roar of the waves of the old ocean falling u|)on my ears. The a.ssem- 
 blage listened to my songs with deep attention, one of the natives expressing himself con- 
 cerning them as being "so restful." Ne\er have I spent a more intensely interesting and 
 enjoyable day than the one just closed upon this island, so memorable in connection with the 
 murder of Captain Cook, the great sea explorer, but now filled with intelligence and gosjiel 
 liberty, and j)erha])s the most quiet, peaceful spot on earth. 
 
 Our shi|) berths brought us the sweetest repose after this eventful day ; and next morning 
 when we arose the lovely Oahu was out of sight. At the breakfast-table we missed four of 
 our former fellow-passengers, but in their ])lace had gained another — a fine-looking young 
 man about twenty-six years of age, well dressed and of prepossessing appearance. So quiet 
 and reticent in manner was this gentleman that for several days we thought that he might 
 be a young clergyman seeking health, recreation, or knowledge by foreign travel. A few 
 ■days after my wife said to me, "Why does our friend look so wild and singular, evidently 
 seeking to avoid every one upon the deck ? " This strangeness soon became so noticeable 
 that we made inquiries of the captain a.s to its cause, and learned to our great sorrow that he 
 had been indulging in intoxicating drink, and wa.s suffering from an attack of delirium tremens, 
 that fearful disease which is so sure to attack all who become a prey to the pernicious habit 
 so fiital to the highest interests of humanity, both in this world and that which is to come. 
 We further learned that this unfortunate young man was the only child of a wealthy Catholic 
 widow, who had fitted him out for a voyage from San Franci-sco to Australia in order to sep- 
 arate him from the evil companions with which he associated in the former city: that on account 
 of his inebrieties he had been put ashore at Honolulu from the vessel in which he originally 
 embarked, and that he had taken our boat to complete his trip. Alas! if that mother could

 have seen liiin ilien, luitiliiig with wild liallut illations and struggling to escape the chitehes- 
 of imaginary demons, all hope would have died in her heart. The evil conduct (jf the ship's 
 surgeon urging him to drink when orilers had been given to withhold it from him, and thoughts 
 of that |)oor mother who loved him, drew us toward this unfortunate man in kindly symjjathy, 
 for he had finally become so delirious that it was necessary to i)lace a watch over him. 
 
 C)ne Sabbath evening as we were singing hymns in the cabin, he suddenly jinii|)ed up 
 from his chair, and exclaiming, "1 am not going down with this ship!" ran swiftly u]j the 
 comi)anion way and leajied overboard. The women shrieked and swooned with fear, the 
 great engines were brought to a standstill, the boat was lowered, and three sailors went out 
 in the darkness of the night in search of him. In about thirty minutes, filled with anxious- 
 suspense to those in waiting, he was discovered and brought on board in an insensible con- 
 dition, and the greater part of the night was spent in resuscitating him and saving his life. 
 
 When he came to his senses he said: "Well, I've been with the devil three months, and 
 I did not like it, and so came back." The dangerous sea-bath had a good effect u[)on him, 
 however; and he became more and more frightened at his narrow escape from drowning as- 
 his mind grew clearer, and entreated us to watch over him, which we did until we reached 
 Auckland, New Zealand. Since that time we have neither seen nor heard from him. How- 
 true it is that there is no bondage so galling and so degrading as that of intemperance, whose 
 ways take hold on death ! 
 
 AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND. 
 
 The evenings on deck were lo\ely, and atoned, in part, for the heat and the severe 
 blowing of the trade winds during the day. The .sea was very quiet as we sailed along with 
 nothing to attract our attention but the appearance of a large white bird called the Boatswain. 
 The day after crossing the e(iuator we observed a little brown land-bird hovering about the 
 ship, which had evidently followed some ves.«el out to sea and become lost; like those human 
 beings who have been lured from duty and home by some object, which to their blinded im- 
 aginations promised profit and pleasure, but has proved the veriest will-o'-the-wisp, and left 
 them homeless and shelterless on the ocean of life. 
 
 We have felt often in our history that we had lost a day especially wherein we had failed 
 to do some work for Jesus and our fellow-man. But now we have really experienced the loss 
 of twenty-four hours out of 'the calendar of time. Yesterday was Friday, March 5th, when 
 we crossed the one hundred and eightieth meridian; and to-day is not Saturday but. Sunday, 
 March 7th. We are half way round the world, and the chronometer at Greenwich marks 
 eight o'clock at night, the very hour in which our clock marks the hour of eight in the 
 morning. Practically we have lost but just half a day; but should we continue on to Green- 
 wich, making the same discrepancy of time, we should lose the other half; and the scientific 
 world has decided that one full day is totally blotted out on the one hundred and eightieth, 
 meridian. 
 
ACSTKA/./A, THE LAND OF GOLD. SI 
 
 We are now sailing beneath new skies, having exchanged the North Star r.nd ilie Hig 
 Dipper for wiiat is to us a most l)eautitiil constellation, the Southern Cross. It is ( oniposcd 
 <if live fixed stars in the shape of a cross, four of which shine with wonderful brilliant y in 
 the southern heavens, and by this the mariners steer their course. The nights are most en- 
 < hanting, the waters gleam with phosphorescent light in the wake of our shijj, and the moon- 
 light touches the dark waves as with pencils of light and glory. 
 
 After seventeen days' voyaging we came in sight of New Zealand at three o'clock in 
 the atternoon, and anchored at Auckland, an English-looking city of about twenty five thou- 
 sand inhabitants. \\'e were met at the wharf by Rev. Mr. liaker and two other jjrominent 
 citizens; were shown the principal streets and buildings, and after we had sjjent a pleasant 
 evening in song, prayer, and conversation, we again took ship at eleven o'clock the same 
 evening. Just before the anchor was weighed a party of friends came on board bearing a 
 large basket of peaches, figs, fresh butter, and other delicacies for our comfort and refresh- 
 ment, gave me an earnest invitation to come and give them fifty evenings of soiig-service on 
 my return homeward, and bade lis good-bye. 
 
 Sailing over the calm, hot waste of waters, where the sun quivers in direct beams upon 
 the pla<id exjianse, and where the air is sluggish in the ojipressive noons, we slowly ap- 
 proached the shores of the mysterious i.sland-continent. Day l)y day the temperature changed 
 until the mornings became delightful, the torrid heats receded behind us, and we had solved 
 the mystery known as the ''Sunny South." U'e had penetrated through the very pulsing 
 heart of that problem. The southerly skies now indicated a cooler and jjleasanter climate. 
 The spirits of the weary voyagers took courage. Here and there along the level horizon 
 appeared strange islands, rimmed with coral reefs and set in tufted palms. The color of the 
 sea assumed a deeper hue, the heavens arched in clearer and ampler grandeur as we ad- 
 \anced, and at length our good steam-ship was anchored within sight of the long-expected 
 haven. 
 
 Ch.-m'tkk X. — AusTUAi.iA, rill-. Land of (hii.d. 
 
 JE?-MMEDIATELV upon landing we were most kindly met by Rev. J. C. Symons, ex- 
 '^I'j^^i^ Mayor Crouch, and S. G. King, representatives of the committee under whose 
 Ip^'l' ^i'sp'<-"es I had undertaken this journey to the great far-off. Victoria, of which 
 'i^' Melbourne is the capital, and which is tlie most southern of the Australian colonies, 
 
 was discovered in 1802, by Lieutenant John Murray. Its geographical position gives 
 it a much better title to the a|)j)ellation of "South Australia," than its sister colony, 
 which bears that title, hardly any portion of the latter being as far south as the most 
 northerly portion of Victoria. 
 Melbourne has a population of about three hundred thousand, and was named after Lord 
 Melbourne, who was Premier of Great Britain when the city was founded some forty years 
 ago. It is a monument of what wealth and enterprise can do in so short a space of time, 
 abounding in costly public works arnl magnificent edifices, which rival those of the older 
 capitals of Europe. Its principal thoroughfares are a mile in length by ninety-nine feet in 
 width, and run at right angles, being intersected by smaller streets, which also bear the names 
 of the larger with the prefix of "little." 
 
 Elizabeth Street is laid out at the base of the two principal hills or eminences on which 
 the city is built, and divides it into " East" and "West." This street is very low, and some- 
 times in rainy weather becomes the bed of an angry torrent, and quite impassable to foot 
 passengers. 
 
 The city proper is situated on the banks of the \':irra-\'arra, or "ever-flowing" river, 
 tight miles from the sea by water, and two and one-half by land. It is connected by rail- 
 road with Sandridge, its seaport, which is at the head of Hobson's Bay, and where massive 
 piers extend far out into the water, alongside of which vessels of almost any tonnage can lie 
 with safety. The Van-Vean Reservoir su|j])lies the inhabitants with abundant water of an 
 excellent quality. The Free Library contains over one hundred and fifty thousand volumes, 
 and the .\thena2um twelve thoiLsand three hundred and fifty-six. The most noteworthy 
 structures are the Houses of Parliament, Government buildings, the Post-office, Town Hall, 
 the Exchange, the University, the Voting Men's Christian Association building, Wesleyan 
 (liiirch, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Independent Church, and Baptist Chapel. It has a branch 
 of the Royal Miiit, a Royal Theater, and Opera-house, well-appointed public markets, good 
 hospitals and institutions for the care of the aged, infirm and unfortunate, many fine hotels,

 Australia is the largest island in the world. In dimensions and resources it is almost a 
 continent, its extent being from east to west two thousand five hundred and forty, and from 
 north to south one thousand si.\ hundred miles, compassing an area of two million nine hun- 
 dred and seventy-five thousand scpiare miles. 'I'tiis vast domain lay imknown in the bosom 
 of the ocean, untouched by the foot of civilization, for more than two hundred years after 
 Columbus landed upon an island of the New World; but like America it was a jjrize awarded 
 to the perseverance of a Spanish navigator, for Louis Vaez Torrez, commanding an expedition

 from Peru, was the original discoverer of Australia. He landed upon its coast in 1605, al- 
 though the Dutch descried its northern borders from the ship Duyfen early the next year. 
 
 Australia is indeed a remarkable land. There are but few ocean indentures or bays ; 
 and for a thousand miles of its southern coast there is not one permanent river. The streams 
 are swollen and muddy in the rainy season, and run dry the rest of the year, the winds raising 
 clouds of dust from their sandy beds. The trees are scattered in the forests like the trees 
 of an orchard or park, and such as bear leaves are evergreen. The foliage is leathery and 
 less beautiful than that of our own country. There are but few tangled or compact forests, 
 such as abound in Nortli and South America, while s])rings of sjjarkling cold water are of 
 rare occurrence. The plants are abundant, varied, and often magnificent in their array of 
 blossoms.

 British convicts were sent to this remote frontier to serve their years of i)enalty for crime 
 in utter isolation and hardship. These outlaws were indeed rough pioneers to develo]) the 
 ])ossil)ilitics of a new country; but Christian missionaries and teachers speedily followed the 
 forced immigration, and were soon alongside of the criminals ; and the gosjjel made contjuesls 
 over the stubborn hearts of the convicts, as well as over the wandering and benighted souls 
 
 of the natives, .\fter groups of felons came colonies of honest settlers from Great Britain 
 and from Holland. The cities of Sydney and Melbourne were planted; and now their splen- 
 did streets stretch for mile^ along the once desolate wastes of a pagan wilderness, and the 
 stranger meets as many evidences of enlightenment here as in the older communities on the 
 Thames, the Tweed, or the Ziiyder Zee. Hut the population of the towns is mostly British. 
 The habits of the people are strikingly similar to those of England. Australia might be called

 another New I'higland with the characteristic Yankee left out. There is no dis])osition to rebel 
 against the Crown, or to change any of the jieciiharities which every-where in the liritish 
 dominio;is stand for loyalty to the Queen. 
 
 Bill I set foot upon this land as an evangelist of sacred song, and not as a tourist, stat- 
 i.itieian, speculator, or adventurer. While 1 enjo)ed the scenery, studied the history and 
 geography, and read the current events with real interest, still my mission was to sing. 
 
 It was an anxious time for me, the commencement of my Australian camjjaigii. The 
 ])ress had announced me in generous words; and even the mayor of Melbourne had given 
 me a formal welcome in the great Town Hall. The committee of noble Christian men, under 
 whose iiusiiices I came from the United States, were all full of excitement, wondering whether 
 the novel exiieriment would prove a success, or whether they might be involved in consider- 
 able pecuniary loss. It was but human nature to exjiress anxiety under such circumstances. 
 It was an hour of imusual concern to myself and family, as well as to the friends who had 
 assumed the responsibility of introducing song-sermons into Australia. 
 
 \\'ith an earnest prayer, and my heart beating rather irregular time, I ascended the jjlat- 
 form of the Wesle)'an Church at my first meeting, fronting as attractive an audience as ever 
 
 WESLEYAN CHLRCH, MELBOLRNE- 
 
 assemb'.etl anywhere. I felt something like a Botany Bay convict, gauging my own resources 
 by the evident demands of the hour. And yet I knew that divine grace makes liberty for 
 heart and tongue and pen whenever and wherever faith takes hold upon the promises. 
 
 1 was pleasantly introduced to the two thousand listeners by the Rev, John Harcourt, 
 the President of the Wesleyan Conference, amid demonstrations of kindly greeting, which gave 
 courage to deliver my message here as I had often tried to do in distant lands. 
 
 Two of the morning papers— the Age and the A;.?/— spoke very favorably of the meet- 
 ing, and one pronounced emphatically against it as an imwarrantable innovation. 
 
 My first ride in the country was a trip to Ballarat, one hundred miles by rail from Mel- 
 bourne, although the distance in an air-line is but sixty-five miles. The route bears south- 
 westward for half the distance, skirting the Bay of Fort 'Philip, to Geelong on Corio Bay. 
 
 It will be remembered that in 1857 near this i)lace was found the great nugget of gold 
 valued at fifty thousand dollars. A model of this rich treasure is on exhibition at the British 
 Museum. No wonder such an attraction brought thousands of jieople from the cities to the 
 Bush, as the Melbourne people call the country. 
 
 The yield of gold is gradually decreasing, and the jiopulation of Ballarat is probably less 
 at jiresent than ten years ago, but it is still a busy, beautiful city of near sixty-five thousand 
 souls. The once comely hills surrounding the place bear marks of the gold-diggers, being 
 grooved, broken, and yellow. The impetuous dash for money always mars the peaceful aspects 
 of nature.

 substantial manner. There are no doubtful embankments, no flimsy trestles, nor any perilous 
 <:urves. Science has had a voice, and genuine economy a hand in every mile of the system. 
 
 At the station I was kindly met and escorted to the home of George Smith, Esc|., across 
 the Park Lake, a charming s])ot indeed. On my way to the hos])itable mansion of this new- 
 found friend, I was pointed out the beauties of the city, such as the Town Hall, Opera-house, 
 Park Lake, and Botanical (hardens. The Australian gardens excel all others I have seen in 
 luxuriant foliage, brilliant flowers, and varied forms. I will not except our New \oxV Central 
 Park, or the parks of London or Paris. This great island of the southern seas has a climate 
 peculiarly prolilic of vegetable perfections. Nowhere else have I ever beheld such exiiuisite

 displays of the beautiful in form and hue and texture. I doubt whether the gardens of Sol- 
 omon excelled these of the newest of the new worlds. The foliage of Tyre and Damascus 
 in its prime could not have been more enchanting. Here \?ere leaves in infinite variety — 
 ovate, serrate, spiral, palmate, lobed. and cleft. Here were the finest interlacings of fiber and 
 vein, living leaves, jeweled with diadems of dew, and armed with shining spears before the 
 sun. Here were velvet and mossy leaves, gossamer and oval leaves, pendants and blades 
 and spines, colored in emerald, in crimson, in purple, in white. Here were ferns in infinite 
 variety, tendrils clinging to posts, curtain-leafed vines arching overhead, ground ivy, strange 
 grasses — all seeming to live on air and dew and light. There was something almost spiritual 
 in the magnificent array. The only thing lacking in the gardens was the odor; this being 
 deficient in some degree even in the most beauiiful flowers. 
 
 The principal street in the city is very wide, with a long, narrow j)ark in the middle,

 and large, stately trees growing on eacli side with a peliMed higli-way made doidjle l>y the 
 intervening and ornamental park. 
 
 My next week was spent in the country; and I gave my first service in Oeelong, a 
 town of some thirty thousand inhabitants, which is beautifully situated on Corio Hay, forty- 
 five miles distant from Melbourne by rail. It is noted for its fine ])iiblic and jjrivate build- 
 ings, excellent harbor, public baths, and woolen mills; and the surrounding country is laid 
 out in farms, vineyards, and orchards. Here the first woolen mill in Victoria was built, and 
 received the government award of one thousand five hundred ])ounds. It was for some time 
 considered the second city in Victoria, but has l)ecn disjjossessed of this preeminence by 
 liallarat. It is built on an inclined plane or smooth side hill, and jiresents a most jjicturesque 
 appearance either from the bay or from the hills above. The botanical gardens and parks of 
 this town are beautiful beyond descrijjtion. The former are cultivated by a most exjjerienced 
 man and noble Christian, Mr. J. Radensburg, who jjresented Mrs. I'liillips on our dei)arture 
 from the place, with a bouquet of rich exotic flowers, and a package containing many varie- 
 ties of choice seeds. The botanical gardens of this island arc undoubtedly the most luxuriant. 
 in the world, the climate being jjeculiarly adapted to their culture, while in mo>t of them are 
 to be found fine collections of animals. 
 
 MINING DISTRICTS OF ALSTRALIA. 
 
 My next visit was to CasUemaine and the old gold-fields. This town has about eighteen 
 thousand inhabitants, and is the locality where gold was first discovered in Australia, and 
 was for a long time its most important mining field. Its streets are well laid out, it is (luite 
 notable in public buildings, its water-works are fine and very cosdy, and it has a spacious 
 market building. The entire surface of the locality has been dug over and over again in 
 search of the precious metal. The ground in the vicinity is a mixture of red earth and gravel. 
 Vine-growing and wine-making are carried on to a considerable extent. Rev. Mr. Daniels, 
 my polite host, pointed out to me many fine vineyards, but informed me that the district 
 relied principally on its mining and agricultural resources for its prosperity. My services 
 were held in the theater. The audience was very attentive to the service, and at its close- 
 many of them desired me to come again, and give them more information of America and 
 my travels about the world. 
 
 The people of Australia are more demonstrative than the English or the Americans. 
 They are scarcely willing to desist from outward manifestations of apjirobation e\en when re- 
 ([uested. 
 
 My next service was at Sandhurst, where I was entertained in a princely manner by- 
 Captain Williams, a brother-in-law of the famous gold miner, John AVatson. This genial host 
 took me through and over the great quartz-mills, where the massive machinery ground the 
 rock into a dust as fine as flour, from which other machinery extracted every particle of the 
 much-prized metal.

 A stroll through the city markets with Captain Fletcher, who ])ointed out many objects 
 of interest, amused me for awhile; but my observations did not aid me in the work of singing 
 with the sijirii. Noisy crowds and dram and gambling shops were on every hand, the rich 
 and da/./.ling specimens shone in many windows, wiiile every thing seemed to be wrapped in 
 a blaze of gold and glitter. I was grateful when Sunday came, 
 
 "Sweet day, of all the week the best." 
 
 From this point I reached the banks of the River Murray, the largest and longest of the 
 few navigable rivers of Australia, the rarity of which is the greatest obstacle in the opening 
 
 THK Kl\KK MVKKAV, Af^ 
 
 up of the country. This river is one thousand one hundred and twenty miles in length, but 
 is only navigable for small boats and barges. It is a low, muddy, sluggish stream, the ap- 
 proaches being infested with venomous serpents, and upon its banks in the interior live, in 
 the rudest state, the aboriginal Australians. They are a swarthy race, quite distinct from the 
 Malay and .\frican types, with coarse, bushy hair, short, attenuated figures, and. in their nat- 
 ural state, low, degraded, weak, and miserable. They are certainly one of the meanest races 
 on the face of the earth, a 'perfect description of whom would baffle even Darwin himself. 
 Some of the tribes are cannibals. Even these, however, have been rescued by the power of 
 the gospel, and here and there have begun the better life. But only by patient processes of 
 education, by methods which shall attract and win and ultimately hold these heathen masses, 
 can there be any hope of success. 
 
 My next service was held just over the River Murray in Albury; and after a ride of 
 one hundred and fifty miles I was kindly met at the station by Dr. H. 15. Hutchinson. After 
 quite a routine of examination in getting my organ through the customs, I was driven to 
 my ho.st's neat home, over which presided one of his prepossessing and intelligent daughters. 
 
 The next morning I returned to Victoria, to visit what is termed the Ovens District, and 
 after a ride of ten miles reached Beechworth, a town of four thousand population. Here I 
 was guest of the Rev. and Mrs. Flockheart. 
 
 I next visited a village which bears the name of Eldorado, and is inhabited by about one 
 thousand peo])le. It is located on the banks of Reed's Creek, and is the center of a large 
 mining district, being the only place in \'ictoria where tin ore is found. In my ride thither I 
 stopped several times to converse with the miners, many of whom were Chinese, and to look 
 at the precious stones which were exhibited by them. I found Eldorado a very quiet, lonely 
 place, which seemed to me almost out of the world. Here I stopped over a Sabbath, and, 
 though desiring to be with my family, I kept occupied. .After my service I slejjt soundly 
 on my little couch, over which hung a picture of the Rev. William Taylor. Thoughts that 
 after a'.l I was treading in the footsteps of so good a man acted as a soothing balm to my 
 spirit

 I also \ isited the agricultural town of Ihinningyong, near liic great gold-fields of Ballarat, 
 with a ])opulati()n of three thousand. Here I was nu).-.! <ordiaily entertained by Mr. R. Allan, 
 a Scotchman by birth. .\ few facts of his history are not unworthy of record here: Making 
 his fortune in the earlier years of the island's settlement, he returned home to Scotland, with 
 the iTiteniion of sjx'nding the remainder of his days in his native land. After spending some 
 time in his old home, the spirjt of Christian zeal began to light uj) his soul so brightly and 
 fervidly that he again took ship for Australia, where he has ever since devoted his whole 
 talent, time, and energy to Christian work. He has erected a model Sunday-school Institute, 
 and, under his novel and successful methods of instruction, with a heart desperately in earnest, 
 his labors have been and now are very fruitful. Nearly all of his flock have become Chris- 
 tians, and a few among the number have been called to preach the glad tidings. He is 
 known throughout the length and breadth of the colonies as the most devoted and successful

 of Sunday-schml teachers, and an earnest man of faith and good works. One of his school 
 exercises is the writing of six questions upon a large slate in a plain, bold hand, and turning 
 the same toward the school. Each scholar is also provided with a slate, upon which all write 
 answers to these interrogations. Then the slates are gathered up. and each scholar's answers 
 are drawn off into a book or report, for future reference. It will be seen at once that this 
 exercise gives an interchange and expression of thoucht most interesting and instructive. 
 
 From this pomt I returned to my dear ones at Melbourne, where I gave a song-sermon — 
 the theme, "Sweetest Note of Praise," in the Rev. P. R. C. Usher's church. 
 
 On Tuesday, June 22, I took the steamer Otivay for Warnamliool. On board this steamer 
 I was pained to witness the terrible effects of strong drink on the part of a number of pas- 
 sengers. One finelv-dressed man became so thoroughly crazed under its influence as to com- 
 ]iel his little son only eleven years of age to drink. One of the saddest sights I ever witnessed 
 was the inebriated father forcing this drink upon the dear boy. 
 
 The town of Warnambool. well built and cleanly, is a seaport, located on Lady Bay. and 
 has a population of four thousand. Here I had a fine audience, who seemed to enjoy the 
 service, and I w.is entertained bv the Re%', Mr. Kings at the Wesleyan Home. From this

 place I was driven twelve miles in the rain and tlir(nigh the black mud to the little village of 
 Karoit, where 1 remained lor the night, having previously sung to a small but demonstrative 
 audience. 
 
 After a ride of five hours, rendered very unpleasant by the mud and rain, 1 came to 
 the little town of McArthur, where I was invited to a sjilendid dinner prejxired for me by 
 Mr. Joseph Law, who, knowing I was to pass that way, gave me this most pleasant surprise.

 He said that he felt like an old acquaintance of mine, having known me a long time by my 
 songs, many of which I found upon his j)iano. Ooing forward to Belfast I gave my next 
 service to a large audience, but who I felt had but little sympathy for my peculiar >v/r of song. 
 
 A ride of fifty-two miles, in a sort of mud-barge stage, brought me to Hamilton, the 
 metropolis of the western interior, and eminently an agricultural and grazing land. 
 
 I shall never forget that ride. Coming as we did upon a flock of kangaroos, I was beset 
 with the tem|)tation to try and catch one of these nimble jumpers, and I ordered the stage

 to halt, that 1 might try the experiment. Not imtil after the excitement was over did I 
 reahze the ridiculousness of the adventure. The whole llock were facing me when I entered 
 upon the chase; but the older members of the family soon i)ut a hopeless distance between 
 me anil them by their immense lea[)s, which were imitated by their younger relations to such an 
 extent as to completely baffle my hunter cajjabilities. One unsusiiecling young kangaroo, how- 
 ever, lingered behind, and seemed to be unmindful of my jiresence and intentions. Stealthily 
 creeping ujjon him in the rear, I was about to clasp him in my arms as a captive, when, 
 taking in my person and evident ])urpose, wiili long, swift bounds, he ])assed into the dis- 
 tance like a fleeting cloud. Hunting the kangaroo is a sport engaged in by l)olh men and 
 women. They pursue them on horses at break-neck speed, riding over ditches and fences 
 with impunity.

 Y next detour from Melbourne was by steamer City of Adelaide for Sydney, the 
 
 parent city of Australia and cajjital of the colony of New South Wales. We 
 
 reached the beautiful harbor of Botany Bay (so-called from the numbers of new 
 
 specimens of plants which were discovered there) at eleven o'clock, on the evening 
 
 of the third day, and effected safe landing at Sydney. My tirst evening of song 
 
 was given in the large Wesleyan Church, York Street, Rev. George Woolnough, M. A., 
 
 pastor, as also chairman of the district and of my meeting. His remarks in introducing 
 
 me were very apropos, making me feel at home and among friends, and I was enaliled

 to sing in excellent spirit and voice. As it was the Fourth of July, I took the liberty cf pre- 
 suming somewhat on English delicacy by mentioning the fact. Three cheers ^yere then pro- 
 posed and given with hearty good will, and, with Hon. S. D. Hastings at my side, we closed 
 the exercises, joined by the audience, with singing "God Save ^he Queen.'' The Sydney

 The staple industry of New South Wales seems to be sheep-raising. In some of the "sheep 
 stations" from one to six million sheep may be found. The slice]) are remarkable for quality, 
 their wool being long and silky. 
 
 In this far-off land we seem to experience a reverse of nature's laws, the hottest month 
 being January, and the coldest July. In January hay is cut and wheat harvesting commences. 
 
 
 SHKEP '.TATIOV. AISTRALtA. 
 
 On the morning of July 14th I set out for Bathurst, distant from Sydney one hundred 
 and twenty miles, and twenty-five thousand feet above sea level. I had for my companion on 
 this trip Rev. Dr. Kelynack — learned, eloquent, and devout, and considered by all who know 
 him to be the Punshon of .Australia. The journey was made on the most famous zigzag rail- 
 road in the world. — over rocky wastes, steep canons, deep gorges, perpendicular crags, and 
 wild hills. This route is one of the greatest triumphs of engineering science that has ever

 been accomplished. Willi the great blue mountains in the distance, and the wonderful land- 
 scape of earth and sky, it was the inost delightful journey by rail that I experienced in the 
 colonies. 
 
 At length we reached the base of the hills, with which the lovely little town of Bathurst 
 is surroimded, and saw it standing out in charming jierspective upon a gently-sloping mountain 
 plain. From the station I was driven to the delightful home of Hon. Mr. Webb, a member 
 of the Provincial Parliament and mayor of the town. The grounds surroimding his res- 
 idence are tastefully laid out with plots of shrubber)- and flowering plants, fountains, and 
 miniature lakes, in which latter beautiful black and white swans and other acpiatic birds dis- 
 |)orted. The kindness, thoughtfulness, and courtesy of this family, so thoroughly and effect- 
 ively engaged in their several cajiacities in the forwarding of the Master's work, will never 
 grow dim in my memory. Here I sang two evenings to large assemblies, and with good 
 success, and took the return train to Sydney over the same pictures(iue route. 
 
 
 SYDNEY HARBOR, AUSTRALIA. 
 
 The next day an excursion was planned and carried out to show me Sydney harbor, which 
 is regarded as the most picturesque in the world. Its deep, clear waters are studded with 
 many charming little islands, which are covered with elegant villas, flower and fruit gardens. 
 A trim little steamer had been chartered, and with the leading men of the Wesleyan Church 
 and their wives on board, as also the mayor of the city, we moved off from the wharf, pro- 
 vided with a bountiful and delicious supply of refreshments. We touched at several of the 
 most beautiful of the islands, and at the Quarantine, at which latter a ship containing several 
 hundred emigrants was just coming in from sea. Passing so near we threw on board oranges, 
 cakes, and other dainties from our store i and had it not been for the influence of an official 
 in our behalf, we might have been quarantined with the newcomers, having scraped so close 
 an accpiaintance as to attract the attention of the governmental guardians of the health of the 
 port. 
 
 At length, amid good-byes and "God bless you" from the lips of many friends, and gifts 
 of flowers and fruits from their hands, I departed for my steamer, preparatory to five hundred

 and sixty miles sail of sixty-three hours for Melliourne, greeted hy a cloud of waving hand-

 friend come out upon the shore of a small island we were passing, and wave the stars and 
 stripes in his good-bye, to remind me of my dear native land as the shore of this new land 
 faded from my sight!

 With smiling skies and favorable winds I was soon permitted to rejoin my family in Mel- 
 bourne. On .Monday, August 9, we took leave of our Melbourne home at Royal Terrace, 
 and taking passage in the steamer Alhambra for Adelaide, in South Australia, moved off from 
 the wharf at two o'clock, sailed up the river through St. Philip's Bay, and by nightfall were 
 rock'ng "in the cradle of the deep." The five hundred miles were accomplished after a. 
 oug'i passage of three days, and we were glad enough to reach harbor at Port .Adelaide.

 The city of Adelaide, the capital and seat of government of the colony, is built nearly 
 in the form of a square, with its streets running at right angles, and is located on a large 
 plain of the Mount Lofty range, which walls it on the eastern and southern sides. The entire

 city IS bordered by four grand terraces, sloping to the north, south, east, and west, which form 
 a broad belt, or reservation of land, which entirely encompasses this beautiful metropolis. 
 It is as it were a brilliant, wide ribbon of living greensward, surrounded with the finest of 
 promenades, paths, and carriage-ways. This entire area is the jiroperly and under care of

 the government, as are the beautiful paddocks and gardens lining each bank of the River 
 'I'orrens, which runs between North and .South Adelaide, and is crossed bv two massive iron 
 and two wooden bridges. No palatial edifices or great works of art could give the inviting 
 effect of this intermarriage of civilization and nature, rendering the city's suburbs equally as 
 charming and desirable as its centers, and giving its population health-laden breezes, quiet 
 retreats from the noise and bustle of business, and recreation of soul and bod v.

 The Botanical Gardens of Adelaide, arranged by their accomplished director. Dr. Richard

 always with increasing delight.

 Thousands of acres of vines have lieuii [ilanted in Soiitii Australia, and tlic nianufaclure 
 •of wine is now an established industry, though at first much prejudice was c:rcated against 
 these wines because ill-made, immature, and tinsoimd samples were sent home. 
 
 Collingrove affords a fair specimen of a suburban residence in South Australia. Many 
 of the suburban gardens are rich and beautiful, and vineyards and orangeries aboinid. When 
 the fruit-trees are in bloom, or covered with the rijjeiiing fruit, they [iresent a scene of rare 
 beauty. 
 
 Among the native birds of .Australia may be mentioned the emu. It somewhat resembles 
 the ostrich. When assailed it strikes obliquely backward with its foot with such force as to 
 break a man's leg. The lyre bird is the most beautiful found in the Southern Hemisphere. 
 The tail, which consists of sixteen feathers, is often ten feet long, and arranged in the shape 
 of an ancient lyre. 
 
 From Adelaide, with my .son James, since deceased, I took stage for Kadina, one him- 
 dred miles distant — a fine little city of four thousand inhabitants, and noted for its rich mines 
 of copper. My son and myself both enjoyed the style of staging, with two wheel-horses and 
 three leaders, e-\changing the horses for fresh ones every ten miles. Much of the country 
 on the route was bushv and monotonous, although 
 we often passed through large wheat-fields, some of 
 which were one thousand acres in extent; and it is 
 ■claimed that the best wheat in the world is grown 
 in this locality. The gathering at my services was 
 large, and seemed to be ver)' satisfactory to the 
 hardy, good people of this mining town. 
 
 Another trip of one hundred and twelve miles 
 brought us to Gawler, a pastoral and agricultural 
 town, and the oldest established port in connection 
 with the trade of the River Murray and its tribu- 
 taries. Here we were entertained by Mr. Clem- 
 •ents, and sang to an audience of one thousand 
 people. Thence we i)assed to Kapimda, noted for 
 its copper mines and quarries of marble. Here i 
 was entertained by Hon. James Price and his e.x- 
 cellent family. 
 
 A drive of forty miles, and I reached the neat 
 httle town of Clare, located among the hills ami 
 hlue-gum trees, having a jiopulation of about three 
 thousand, and famous for its cattle stations and 
 stock-raising. As I was alighting from my carriage 
 at the place appointed for me to sing, an .Vustralian 
 magpie suddenly struck uj) a distinct whistle to the 
 exact tune of "Yankee Doodle's Come to Town," 
 as if in welcome of my arrival. I afterward learned 
 that an American resident had taught the singularly 
 
 imitative little bird this popular air. I greatly enjoyed my next song-service at the famous 
 Burra copper mines: as also my entertainment at the residence of Mr. E. Lipsett. 
 
 On Wednesday forenoon, September 15th, we embarked at Melbourne for Tasmania in 
 the steamer Dcrweiit. and after sailing twenty-four hours reached the mouth of the river Tama 
 at daybreak, and sailed up its waters seventy miles to its head at Launceston. The only in- 
 cident of the voyage was the meeting of a small boat containing Captain Marshall and the 
 almost starved crew of the shipwrecked sailing vessel City of Camlnidi^i'. These unfortunate 
 men had nothing to eat but a scanty mess of salt pork, which they were cooking on a fiat 
 stone in the center of their little craft. We took them on board. 
 
 Tasmania was discovered in 1642 by a Dutch navigator, Abel James Tasman, who was 
 cotnmissioned by Anthony Van Dieman, (lovernor-Ceneral of Hatavia, to exjjlore the conti- 
 nent now called .Australia, but then termed "the great unknown South Land," and who named 
 it after his patron. Although known by several navigators, who had encounters with the 
 hostile natives, it was not discovered to be separate from Australia until 1798, when Mr. Geo. 
 Bass, a surgeon in the British J<.oyal Navy, discovered the existence of a dividing channel. 
 The first settlement was made at Hobart Town, and was followed by that at York Town and 
 Launceston, and in 18 13 its ports were opened to English commerce. The profits made on 
 the first importations of English goods were enormous; and many men who have since counted

 Tasmania is divided into eighteen counties, four of which are wholly unoccupied. The 
 great Wellington range of mountains traverses the length of the island, and has been ajjtly 
 termed the "backbone" of the colony. The loftiest eminence does not reach si.x thousand 
 feet elevation. .Ml portions of the country not occupied by primary ranges are generally 
 hilly, the surface swelling into long and lofty ridges tailed "tiers, " and viewed from an em- 
 inence give to the landscape a very unequal and undulatory aspect. A\'hcre granite, cjuartz, 
 and micaceous rock is found the soil is uniformly poor, while in the trajj-rock district!*, which 
 cover many thousands of scpiare miles, nearly all the best lands are found. U])on these lands 
 most of the ])opulation of the country is settled, and here alone agriculture flourishes and the 
 live stock of the colony is su])|)orled. I'assing from these, either cast or west, settlements are 
 few and far between, and the existence of man is hardly to be traced. The lands on which 
 the forests stood — with musk, sassafras, silver wattle, laurel, palm, and massive gum-trees, to- 
 gether with ferns and gorgeously beautiful flowering shrubs — are richest from the accumulated 
 soil of ages of decaying vegetation. 
 
 The city of Launceston has a po]3ulation of about twelve thousand, and is at the head 
 of the Tama River, and in the peninsula formed by the junction of the two rivers, the North 
 and South Esk. Its ajjpearance as seen on entering it riverward, with its profu.sely wooded 
 background, its hills studded with pretty villas and majestic mountains in the distance, is ex- 
 ceedingly picturesque. .A pleasant feature is, that almost every residence, even in the heart 
 of the town, has its well-stocked garden of fruits and flowers. In the spring white blossoms 
 are so profuse as to give the imjiression that every thing is snow-clad, and they mingle their 
 perfume with hawthorn and sweetbrier, which crop out over the fences in die highways and 
 l)yways, while the sweet songs of migratory birds give a charming home as])ect to the ])lace. 
 Launceston is sui)plied with abundance of water from St. Patrick Ri\er, flowing through an 
 artificial tunnel to reservoirs on an eminence two miles above the city, being conveyed into 
 the city by pipes. It has elegant public buildings and churches, a fine park, and its spacious 
 botanical gardens are prettily laid out, adorned with fountains and conservatories, and filled 
 with choice shrubbery and flowers. 
 
 From Launceston we took the royal stage coach for Hobart Town, leaving at si.x o'clock 
 in the morning, and arriving just after sunset. We were driven with great rapidity, and with 
 frequent and fresh relays of horses, over a magnificent macadamized road-bed of one hundred 
 and twenty miles in length, constructed by convicts in the earlier penal history of the colonv, 
 a few of whom are now living, and still bear evidence in their walk and movements of the 
 galling ball and chain. This grand island avenue was literally bordered with the beautiful 
 yellow blossoms of the wattle-tree, whose branches seemed alive with gay-plumaged paroipiets 
 and other tropical tuneless and tuneful birds, while now and then an innocent pair of fawns 
 would look out at us from the shrubbery with their almost human eyes. 
 
 The ])0]Hilation of Hobart Town is about twenty thousand. Approached by sea it ])re- 
 sents some of the finest coast scenery extant, with huge basaltic pillared cliffs in the foreground. 
 The metropolis is built upon hilly and undulating land, back of which rises the often-clouded 
 and snow-ca[)ped pinnacle of .Mount ^Vellington in majestic grandeur. It is situated on the 
 shores of a beautiful inlet called Sullivan's Cove, close to the mouth of the celebrated Der- 
 went River, which derives its source from the Tasmanian lakes. The main streets of the 
 city are of good width and finely macadamized, its public and business structures elegant and 
 imposing, and its private residences seem to be built with an especial view to the good old 
 English idea of comfort. The Houses of Parliament occup)' a commanding position facing 
 the harbor. The many fine churches, charitable institutions, and school buildings, together 
 with the Tasmanian library, botanical gardens, and other motherland features, give the place 
 quite the air of one of the older Euroi)ean cities. 
 
 On Monday I gave my first evening of song at A\"esley Church to a large, appreciative, 
 and demonstrative audience, who oftentimes became so enthusiastic as to stop me with their 
 apjilause between the verses of my songs, and to whom I had been handsomely introduced 
 by my chairman, Hon. Mr. Moore, a member of the ]5rovincial Parliament. 
 
 The foMowing day, in company with Mr. Marsh's family, we were driven to that most 
 romantic locality, the Fern-tree Valleys, clothed in deep verdure of brier, shrub, and vegeta- 
 tion, and overarched by the sun-excluding, feathery fronds of great fern-trees, bending in 
 ]5alm-like grandeur, with every curve and leaflet instinct with lines of beauty and tints of 
 color. Leaving our carriages at "Fern-tree Inn," we traversed a path of about one mile Jn 
 length through Fern-tree Gully, where these mammoth ferns, some of them one hundred feet

 high, and two feet through at the base, with their umbrella-sha|je(l tops, vied with the eu- 
 calyptus or bhie gum-lree in i)reventing the sun from jiiercing the density of the shade. A 
 bright, rapid streamlet came gurgling under the fringing ferns, dropping from the rocky 
 margin, or leaping out into light, flinging its silvery waters in a glittering cascade over wails 
 of [jerpendicular black rocks, clad in livid green of moss, lichen, and cryptoganious plants. 
 Reaching the "Bower,'' a tent-like little nook, with a glorious canopy of fern-branches, and 
 jjrovided with comfortable seats for the relief of tired jjilgrims to this beautiful shrine of nature, 
 we were joined by my son James and Master Marsh, who had availed themselves of the early 
 niorninjj hours, and visited the summit of Moimt Wellington, and were thus far on their way 
 back bearing a snow-ball trophy in hand. 
 
 Having entered the day s|)ent in this ferny ravine among the ■•white ones in our calen- 
 dar," we wended our way homeward. Among the grand \ie«s which we caught in ilescend- 
 ing was that of Derwent River, flashing in the sunlight like a long sheet of burnished silver, 
 stretching far inland, while its broatl bosom and highhuul battlements reminded me of our 
 own dear Hudson. 
 
 But we must return to the Victoria metropolis once more, and after giving several serv- 
 ices in aid of temperance, or[)han, and other charitable institutions, and my farewell service 
 of song in the great Lonsdale church, where I held my first service in the colonies, March 
 30, having since my arrival conducted one hundred and one song-services, and given forty song- 
 sermons, by the grace of God having been able to fill every engagement. This great edifice 
 was again filled with people; and at the close of the exercises I was presented by Hon. Mr. 
 Crouch, in behalf of the committee who invited me to Australia, a beautiful illuminated ad- 
 dress, which read as follows ; 
 
 " Mr. Philip Piiii.lips — Dear Sir: At the close of your services in Australia we, the 
 committee, in connection with whom they have been given, desire to express our entire sat- 
 isfaction with the manner in which they have been conducted. 
 
 "The evenings of .sacred song in various parts of \'ictoria, New Soiuh Wales, South 
 .\ustralia, and Tasmania have contributed to the ])leasure and profit of many thousands, and 
 will, we believe, have the effect of exciting an increased attention to singing as a handmaid 
 to social, family, and public worship. 
 
 "The song-sermons which you have given gratuitously on Sunday evenings have, under 
 God, been the means of leading many to the Savior, and of awakening deeper religious feel- 
 ing in the hearts of great numbers. 
 
 "Your name as a composer and singer had of course become familiar to us, and we 
 are glad to have the opportunity of personal acquaintance and intercourse. 
 
 "We anticipate j)ermanent and beneficial results from the solo singing as a part of public 
 wcfrship, of which you have afforded us illustrations, and believe that it will open up a form 
 of presenting divine truth to the hearts and consciences, of which the church has not hitherto 
 fully availed itself. 
 
 "(Jur personal intercourse with you has been of a very happy and ])rofital)le kind: and 
 we desire to bear testimony to the manner in which you have subordinated other consider- 
 ations to the chief oljject of doing good by singing the gospel. 
 
 "We wish you, Mrs. Philli|)s and your sons, every blessing from our kind heavenly 
 Father; we shall cherish many pleasant memories of your visit and labors among us: we shall 
 follow with interest your continued efforts of Christian song; we shall iiray that you and your 
 family may be f;ivored with a pleasant and safe voyage, by the will of God, to India and 
 your native land; and trusting that you may be spared long to serve God and His church 
 in the path which He has chosen for you, we are, dear sir, for the committee: 
 
 "John Harcourt, President of Conference,

 We spent our last evening in Melbourne, taking leave of the committee and private 
 friends, and on the morning of October 7th were accompanied by a number of them to the

 OX THE Sli.i. 
 
 sUMiiiLT Xuhia, at Willianistown wharf. After a season of j)raycr on board the steamer, in 
 which (loci's blessing was besought for our i)rosperous voyage to India, and upon our services 
 there — a precious hour full of tenderest emotions — our farewells all spoken, the steamer moved 
 oceanward ; and from the deck we could see Dr. Dare, Brothers Simmons, Crouch, Marsh, 
 and others, waving their handkerchiefs until the shore faded from our view. 
 
 The Niihia was one of the largest and staunchest of the steamers of the Peninsular and 
 Oriental line, but was not a fast boat. For the first few days the waters were smooth and 
 calm, then suddenly it set in so stormy and rough that the captain was unable to leave the 
 mails and passengers for South Australia at the usual port, and after Ijing to all nigJit out- 
 side the harbor, only succeeded in discharging them at a land-locked harbor at Kangaroo 
 Island early the ne.xt afternoon. 
 
 As we neared the waters of King (leorge's Sound the extremely "nasty" weather, as 
 the sailors termed it, culminated, one dark night, in a fearful storm. As it approached in 
 its great strength, the whistling of the wind through the rigging of the staunch old \cssel, 
 
 STORM AT SEA. 
 
 blended with the hoarse, melancholy moaning of the sea. struck upon the ear with terrible 
 significance. Then the great winds shook our good ship, which was nothing but a feather 
 in their giant grasp, tossing it mountains high or plunging it fathoms deep as if in wild wrath, 
 engulfing it in the embrace of a crashing sea-wave, which filled the decks with Niagara rivers, 
 penetrated the hatchways to the cabin, and drenched us to the skin, as if to show us how 
 feeble and helpless we were as opposed to its mighty strength. I never passed a night on 
 the ocean so full of terrible anxiety, and was never so thankful for the morning light, when 
 Jesus said to these surging waters as to those of Galilee, "Peace, be still!" How forcibly 
 this perilous night brought to mind the terror of the little sailor boy on such a night as this, 
 whose feelings the poet has expressed in these lines: 
 
 "O pilot, 'lis a fearful night. 
 There's danger on the deep : 
 I'll come and pace the deck with thee, 
 I do not dare to sleep. 
 
 'Go down,' the sailor cries, 'go down, 
 This is no place for thee: 
 Fear not, but trust in Providence 
 Wherever thou niay'st be.' " 
 
 On the afternoon of October i6th we glided out of this treacherous sea among the little 
 islands of King George's Sound, to Princess Royal Harbor, and came to a stand-still along-

 side the town of Albany. No sooner had our anchor drojiped ilian that good Wesleyan mis- 
 sionary, Rev. T. C. Lawrence, boarded the vessel in search of myself and family, he having 
 learned that I was about leaving Melbourne, thought I might be prevailed upon to give a 
 service of song to the \)to\)\<t of his town while the steamer was taking coal, which it could 
 not accomplish before midnight. Accordingly, with my little family and my peripatetic organ 
 we were rowed to shore in the little boat in which my brother came out. The church-bells 
 
 were at once sounded to 
 give the people notice of 
 the service at eight o'clock 
 that evening, and we were 
 conducted to the parsonage, 
 where we were so rested 
 and refreshed after our rude 
 jostling on the water that 
 j^.,, .,. ;^^^^^^ ''^'^ missionary home has 
 
 1\^}' -■ '^^^•^KKKIK'- '^'' ^^^"^ been a bright spot in 
 
 our memory. It seemed 
 then, and has always seemed 
 since, that such a cup of tea 
 as Mrs. Lawrence prepared 
 for us never was matched 
 in tealand itself, much less 
 wherever in the wide world 
 this wonderful leaf has been 
 imjiorted. 
 
 After we had rested, our 
 
 host took us out to see the 
 
 sights in Albany, which is 
 
 a pretty little hamlet, and a 
 
 jjrincijjal coaling station for 
 
 the mail steamships. Here 
 
 for the first time as we were landing we saw about 
 
 fifteen men, women, and children who had come down 
 
 to sell kangaroo, opossum, and wombat skins to the 
 
 sailors. These ])roved to be the genuine aborigines 
 
 of Australia, whom we had feared our curiosity would 
 
 never be gratified in beholding, but which in the end 
 
 was abundantly satisfied. 
 
 Without doubt those people are of the lowest type 
 of humanity, subsisting as they principally do upon 
 roots and herbs, and many of them without other cov- 
 ering or garment than the skins of animals, which they 
 wear loosely hanging from their shoulders. Their 
 skin is black, and to this feature is added an appear- 
 ance of filth. They evidently never indulge in a wash 
 or bath, which, taken in connection with their almost 
 fleshless limbs, and the peculiar odor attending their 
 presenc:e, makes their vicinage any thing but agreeable 
 " to the Anglo-Sa.xon. Having often read of the famous 
 
 "boomerang" and its de.\ter(jus management as a weapon of offense and defense, in the hand- 
 ling of which these native Australians are superior to all others, our good missionary friend 
 induced some of them to go out into a large open field and throw this instrument for our 
 amusement, and we confess to never having been so thoroughly interested in a feat of dexterity. 
 The boomerang resembles a huge ox rib in size and shape, being curved on an angle 
 of one hundred to one hundred and forty degrees, and beveled sharp at each edge and end. 
 It is made of iron-wood, which is hard enough to cut but not to batter or break. It is usually 
 from twenty to thirty inches in length, and an inch and a half wide, and aliout one-half 
 inch through the thickest part, and is thrown from the hand with a cpiick rotary motion; 
 describing very remnrkabic curves, it returns and drops at the owner's feet. In our presence 
 they hurled it a distance of ten rods into the air, where, after spinning roimd and round, it 
 returned to the thrower, and was picked up by the children and handed to him. Several 
 
70 I HE ISLAND OJ-' CEVJ.OiV. 
 
 times they threw it so that it described a circle around a tree, coming back with force enough 
 to kill a man il" it had hit him. So correct is the aim of the natives with this curious in- 
 strument that it is in constant use for killing game and as a weapon of warfare. These 
 natives also throw the sjjcar with great accuracy of aim, which they fully proved to us by 
 hitting three times in succession four shilling pieces, which we set up on the top of a split 
 stick at a distance of five rods, relieving our ])ockets of an even dollar. 
 
 Notwithstanding railroads, steamboats, and telegraphs have brought the lands and nations 
 so near to each other, very (|ueer ideas still linger in the minds of some of the peo])le of 
 every land concerning their far-off brethren. In my own country I have found many people 
 who imagined that .Australia was mostly populated by blacks, when the f;ict is we met with 
 them as seldom as we see the Indian east of the Mississipjji River; and others have talked 
 of this great island as though nearly all its pojnilation were convicts who had been annually 
 sent there from (Jreat Britain, but who are now in fact about as scarce as the aboriginals 
 themselves. On the other hand. I found a number of intelligent people in Australia who 
 believe that the mass of the ])opulation of America are Indians, and were surprised that I was 
 not versed in the vernacular of the wild Indians of the ^^"est. Imagine the feelings of a 
 gentleman friend from Chicago, who was about to land at Bombay, on being asked by an 
 Australian lady ''if Chicago had any stores or shops, or if the goods were all sold in bazars 
 kept by native Indians?" 
 
 After the service of song, Mr. Lawrence took us off to the steamer in his little boat. 
 Here he w-alked the deck with us in pleasant and profitable conversation until the signal gun 
 was fired to announce the vessel's departure, when at midnight he bade us good-bye, giving 
 me a beautiful cane in token of remembrance. 
 
 After a passage of fourteen days, with a goodly company of jjassengers, and with but 
 little to disturb the monotony, we came in sight of the palm-girded shores of the island of 
 Ceylon just before nightfall, and were obliged to stop outside the harbor. 
 
 The vessel, being unable to anchor, drifted back with the current, and when morning 
 dawned we found ourselves out of sight of the coveted haven. How wonderfully similar to 
 our ]jr()gre.ss many times is the Christian life, in which the anchors of our faith loosen while 
 gazing upon the very turrets of the heavenly city, leaving us in darkness and doubt, to struggle 
 back to the haven of our hopes, from which we have so unconsciously drifted in our fancied 
 security ! 
 
 Ch.\pter XII. — The Isi,.4nd of Ceylon. 
 
 Cf^T noon, however, we were safely anchored in the exquisite bay off Point de Galle, 
 which is encircled by wooded hills of lovely tropical growth, chief among them the 
 beautiful palm-trees that, inclining toward the sea, bend their crowns above the water. 
 I shall never forget my first impressions as I gazed upon the scenes which were here 
 spread before me. Every thing was so intensely fascinating and interesting, and so 
 thoroughly unlike what 1 had pictured in my imagination, that I was hardly able to 
 believe my own eyes. Almost the moment the Nubia came to anchor it was surrounded by 
 native boats,' and boarded by scores of dark and yellow-visaged natives, looking like so many 
 ])ieces of bronzed statuary, who came swarming over the bulwarks, eager to sell their carved 
 curiosities of ebony, ivory, and tortoise-shell, and many of them so persistent in entreating 
 passengers to go ashore in their little crafts as to oblige the ship's officers to drive them away 
 with a whip. 
 
 \\'e were kindly met on board by a native minister. Rev. William Willemburg, who, 
 after seeing our luggage safe, guided us in his queer little boat through crowds of the Tamil 
 and Cingalese safely to shore, where he had a carriage, or "bandy," in waiting. In this 
 vehicle he took us along the banks of a rill bordered w-ith palm-trees, and through streets 
 and groves fairly alive with bustling, clattering, wriggling natives — a locality crowded with 
 confusion and the wrestling noises of a strange humanity — to the " Weslevan Home" on 
 "Richmond Hill." Here lives Rev. George Baugh. the superintendent of missions, in a 
 ([uiet and charming residence, situated in the center of an elevated comiiound of several 
 acres. From this point we could look down upon sloping, green-canopied grove-tops of the 
 magnificent cocoanut palm, catching now and then bright 5;limpses of the waters of the bay, 
 while through the tropic air we could almost hear the poetical strains of Heber, which ever 
 breathe so softly o'er Ceylon's isle. 
 
 The beautiful twilight soon arrived, but sooner passed away, for darkness comes here

 immediately after the sun sets, as though a thick mantle were suddenly cast over the fate 
 of the earth. Through the darkness strange murniurings and noises saluted our ears from 
 all sides, while lights were seen flashing and disap|)earing in every direction below and around 
 us. The wild chattering of the mischievous monkeys in the jungles and groves was amusing 
 
 to the unpracticed ear; and thoughts of the venom- 
 ous reptiles crawling upon the roof, and likely to 
 enter our room from the open crevices beneath the 
 eaves, and the rustling footsteps of the brown liz- 
 ards promenading the matted floor were any thing 
 but soothing to our nerves, somewhat startled as 
 they had been by the good missionary's story of a 
 deadly cobra snake which bad crawled into an ad- 
 joining room but a few months before, and which 
 relation he ended with the timely suggestion: "It 
 is always well to look under your pillows to dislodge 
 poisonous reptiles before lying down." Adding to- 
 these mental anti-anassthetics came the weird noise 
 of the poor heathen's "tomtom," vainly trying to 
 wake up his inanimate idols — a sound sad and ]j:t- 
 iful to the sense of those who worship that true and 
 living God "whose eye never slumbers nor sleeps." 
 We retired to our beds and slept soundly and 
 sweetly, however, until the morning dawned, when, 
 as I lifted my coat from the wall and was about 
 jnitting it on my wife discovered what she thougb.t 
 an enormous spider on the sleeve, but calling our 
 hostess's attention to it was told that it was a ven- 
 omous scorpion. 
 
 The second day after my arrival I gave my first 
 service in the Wesleyan Church at Point de (lalle, 
 before an audience of three hundred people, but 
 most of whom spoke the English language, and 
 gave every evidence of appreciation of the exercises. The day following I took stage for 
 Matura, some twenty-eight miles distant, situated on the extreme southern coast of the island. 
 The most of its population is native. The drive along the coast through groves of ])alm- 
 trees, meeting at every turn the nicely-shaved and beautifully-combed Cingalese, with Japanese 
 
 CINGALESE.

 umbrellas spread above them, the priests with long yellow gowns, smoothly-shaved heads, 
 and always carrying a palm-leaf tan, together with the hundreds of native poi)ulation in all 
 styles of native dress and undress, was novel and strange. 
 
 At Matura I was made most welcome by Rev. Mr. Nicholson and his estimable lady, 
 whose kind hospitality and society I had greatly enjoyed four years before while in Paris. 
 Preparations which had been made by these good missionaries for my comfort and jjleasure 
 seemed to greet me on every hand, and every preliminary had been arranged by them for 
 my evening of song, .\fter 
 a refreshing nap at mid- 
 day I was awakened for a 
 delightful dinner with sev- 
 eral of ^[r. Nicholson's 
 workers, who had come 
 in from their res])ective 
 fields of missionary labor 
 to hear me sing hymns of 
 "Jesus and his love." 
 The little church was dec- 
 orated with beautiful llow- 
 ers, the perfume of the 
 little blossom called the 
 "temple flower' filling 
 the room with a fragrance 
 which outvied the "spicy 
 breezes" themselves. Here 
 were gathered a goodly 
 number of attentive list- 
 eners, upon whose ears 
 my songs seemed to fall 
 like old acquaintances, as 
 many of them had been 
 translated into the Tamil 
 and Cingalese language ; 
 and they listened with the 
 deepest attention and in- 
 terest. 
 
 We also visited the 
 heathen city of the gods 
 and " Dondra," said to be 
 the oldest Buddhish temi)le 
 in Ceylon. 
 
 Some of the inscrip- 
 tions upon the tablets and 
 pillars are readily deciph- 
 ered. Here idols are seen 
 at every turn. The Tem- 
 ple is on the summit of a 
 steep eminence, and in- 
 closes a colossal statue of idols. 
 Buddha in a reclining 
 
 posture. It is built of brick and gorgeously painted. In front of the statue is a table con- 
 taining floral offerings, |)rominent among which was the temple flower, a beautiful white and 
 wonderfully fragrant blossom, somewhat resembling our cape jasmine. We paid a visit to a 
 wealthy native, whose residence is on a point of land extending into the sea, and who has 
 given the Rev. Mr. Nicholson ground on which to build his new school. Here we had a 
 fine view of the sea, with its huge breakers rolling up against the rocks, and splashing their 
 briny foam at our feet. Cocoanut, banana, bread-fruit, and jjalm-trees were on every hand, 
 the latter inclining their tufted heads toward the water, as if rn grateful obeisance to that 
 prolific element of their ^fe and growth. 
 
 After a very pleasant forenoon we were invited to lunch with the Presbyterian minister, 
 and went home with our friends to dinner at six o'clock, returning next morning to our

 pleasant quarters at "Richmond Hill." AIut a iKHimlay naj) and "uffin," we scaled our- 
 selves on the wide, pleasant veranda, whic h encircled the whole house, and whose overhang- 
 ing roof formed a comforting sliade. While we were looking at some coffee bushes, one of 
 the native ser\anls climbed a cocoanut-tree for our amusement. He fastened the rope made 
 
 of cocoanul fiber aroimd 
 his waist and the trunk 
 of the tree, and after 
 looking that it was se- 
 cure, he planted his feet 
 firmly against the body 
 of the tree, carrying the 
 rojje stra]) upwards with 
 liis hands at every step, 
 ascending it as easy as 
 a s(juirrel and as nimbly 
 as a frog, throwing the 
 greatly-prized fruit at 
 our feet. The floors of 
 the English houses a-re 
 covered with a carpet 
 or matting woven from 
 the cocoa-bark; the na- 
 tive vehicles are cov- 
 ered with its leaves, and 
 tlie houses of the natives 
 thatched with them; co- 
 coa-oil is burned in their 
 lamps; curry is com- 
 bined with the flesh of 
 the nut, making a most 
 palatable dish ; and its 
 milk is considered a 
 great luxury. 
 
 AVe saw the Areca 
 palm growing in every 
 native garden, being 
 planted near the walls 
 or water-courses, with its 
 thin, polished stem and 
 crown of green leaves, 
 often running to the 
 height of forty feet. 
 Just beneath its leaves 
 are die nuts, which the 
 natives prepare, with a 
 lime made from calcined 
 shells and the leaf of the 
 betal pepper for the pur- 
 pose of chewing. If 
 possible, it is more of- 
 fensive than American 
 tobacco, as the com- 
 bined articles color the saliva so deep a red that the lips and teeth look as though they were 
 bathed in blood. 
 
 After a pleasant day in this angel land, but not land of angels, we gave our second 
 song-service in Point de Galle to a large audience, and I greatly enjoyed the sweet Christian 
 spirit which pervaded all present. Here I was deeply impressed with the truth that the lan- 
 guage of Christ and his religion is the same the wide world over; and the name of Jesus has 
 every-where the same sweet sound and significance. , 
 
 The next morning, as the regular stage had overlooked our order, we were assisted by 
 Brothers Baugh and Willemburg in hiring a special one to take us to Columbo. We started

 about eleven o'clock with a driver and a boy to blow the stage-horn as we advanced to give 
 the natives warning to get out of the way and avoid being run over. 
 
 About seven miles out I was jileasantly surprised by a good native brother — an attendant 
 at my service the evening before — who brought to the coach |)resents of choiie tropical fruits 
 of several kinds, cakes and sweetmeats, and with many expressions of pleasure and good-will, 
 wished us "(;ods]jeed." I am sorry I have forgotten his name, but I shall never forget his 
 kindly countenance as he handed me these tokens of his friendship and love in this far-off 
 land. Our entire drive — a distance of seventy-four miles — lay along the sea through avenues 
 of palm-trees, native houses and villages being siatternd thickly all the way. We met and 
 passed such crowds of humanity all the time that it seemed to us like a great fair or ])arade 
 day. \\'e changed horses several times, and stop|)ed once at a government house, called 
 '•house of rest,'' for lunch or '-tiffin." It was very odd to see these black jjeople standing 
 in the waters of the brooks and little inlets, pouring water upon their heads from little earthen 
 cups, called "chatties," their bodies being previously anointed with cocoanut-oil. 
 
 CART. CEVLON. 
 
 During this journey we saw several scaffolds erected by the roadside upon which the 
 famous Devil Dancers were performing. Hundreds of the poor deluded natives will bring 
 their sick for miles through the Inirning sun in order that these miserable creatures may 
 dance around them, believing that by so doing their diseases will leave them. It is a piti- 
 able sight, enough to fire the heart of any Christian man or woman. 
 
 We arrived at Columbo at eight o'clock in the evening thoroughly fatigued, and with 
 keenly whetted appetites. We were at once made at home at the residence of Rev. John 
 Scott, the superintendent of the Weslevan Mission, where, with delicious soup, curry and rice, 
 tender roast l)eef, etc., our cravings were speedily satisfied. This home is pleasantly situated 
 near the water, its compound extending to the .sea-beach. The gratefiil breezes from the 
 water and the lullaby of the surf, as it beat ujion the pebbly shore, soon brought us the 
 sweetest and most refreshing slumber. 
 
 We arose greatly invigorated on the following morning, and the day proved to us a 
 memorable Sabbath. Earlv in the dnv we attendee! a Sabbath-school session, or Bible-class,

 conducted by Miss Scott, a lady of rare mental gifts, and cheerful and loving in her work. 
 The chapel was in the same compound as the homo, and here we heard our American Sun- 
 day-school songs sung by the children of Ceylon. 'I'lie season was most jjrecious and re- 
 freshing, and we all worshiped with the same liooks and the same songs the same Savior. 
 
 In the evening we listened to an excellent sermon by Rev. I. Landon, previous to which, 
 just as the twilight was falling, I gave my song-sermon, " .Xbout Jesus our Savior." My little 
 slijis had been well distributed, and many who came were unable to gain admission on ac- 
 count of the chapel having been filled a few minutes after the door was c])ened. So new 
 was the character of the exercises, and so eager and attentive were the people present, — 
 the children being especially attentive and ])ai ticipntive, — that all seemed loth to leave the 
 edifice, while I gained new confidence that through the voice of song the gospel truths would 
 eventually reach the hearts of the heathen of every land and clime. 
 
 DEVIL DANCE, CEVLON. 
 
 We spent some time on Monday in looking at the sights in and about Columbo, which has 
 a population of one hundred thousand, is the capital of Ceylon, and is its principal seaport. 
 One portion of the town is open, while the other is fortified. The interior has some appear- 
 ance of an English town. Its harbor, which is small, is defended by several forts. 
 
 In the afternoon, taking my eldest son, we loaded my organ on a wagon in order to visit 
 Mortura and give my first evening of song in that city. On the road we encountered a 
 religious procession, coinposed of several hundred natives, making loud and most discordant 
 sounds on all sorts of rude instruments, which evidently seemed to them to emit the grandest 
 music. I could not help thinking that this was a strange prelude to my singing ; but it fired

 my heart to sing with new ardor the sweet old story of God's love. I'assiiig by a number 
 of cinnamon groves, our curiosity led us to stop at one of them, where we peeled off the 
 green bark from one of the shrubs, and took it away as a curiosity. The soil where this 
 shrub grows most luxuriantly, has a white ajipearance, reminding one of the famous alkaline 
 beds which we see in crossing our own continent.

 PEELING CINNAMON-IIAKK, CEVI-ON. 
 
 On Thursday, November nth. we took train for Kandy, the ancient capital of Ceylon, 
 accomplishing the ride of seventy miles in four hours and a half. The scenery on this trip 
 was most enchanting, combining the grandeur of the .Mpine view with the splendor of trop- 
 ical vegetation. It was a perfect panorama, hill, valley, plain, gorge, ravine, and cascade, 
 of foliage, fruit, and flower, with great "paddi," or rice-fields and coffee-bush plantations on 
 every hand, in which were to be seen the natives at their accustomed toil. The resident 
 missionary, the Rev. Mr. Tebb. was waiting at the station, and escorted us to his home. 
 
 On Friday morning our kind host took us to the public gardens, which overlook the

 river on three siiles, and, though not remarkalile for their display of flowers or artificial 
 beauty, were grand in their wealth of stately tro|)ical trees, ])lanted on an area of one hun- 
 
 " " an avenue of India nibher, or caout- 
 
 groiind looked like brick jjiled up in 
 many fanciful and grotes()ue shapes. 
 On every hand were the Taliput, the 
 Palmyra, the Katool, and the slender 
 Arica palm-trees, and the famous 
 Travelers' tree of Madagascar, which, 
 in many instances, grew fifty feet in 
 height. ^Ve were also much inter- 
 ested with the display of flowering, 
 creeping vines, and the "jungle- 
 ro])e,'' whose strong vegetable sinews 
 spread from trunk to trunk, and 
 c las]j them together in serpent-like 
 
 roils. 
 
 Our hostess kindly took us in a 
 ■■handy" some three miles distance, 
 to the large coffee estates of her 
 brother, .\fter winding round and 
 round the hills, and stopping to gaze 
 from terrace to terrace in our ascent, 
 here and there catching charming 
 L;lim])ses of the little lake, ])ark, and 
 town at our feet, and the peak of old 
 Mount .-Vdams in the distance, we 
 aijjjroaclied the pleasantest little spot 
 imaginable, located on a tree-em- 
 bowered terrace, with delightful ris- 
 ing grounds in the rear, and geiiimed 
 with flowering shrubs and plants. 
 In this charming spot stood the residence of our host, its roof and sides completely covered 
 with three varieties of creeping roses in full bloom, from which the estate had evidently re- 
 ceived its pretty name. 
 
 Here we took tiffin with I. L. Dewer, Esq., a courteous and wealthy gentleman, who both 
 owns and manages his extensive estates, and the richest and rarest food and fruit of the 
 tropics were set before us. We were then shown the coffee in its different stages of growth 
 and preparation for the market, and looked with interest upon the dark-green foliage of this 
 evergreen tree or shrub. Its gray-barked trunk is generally from two to four feet high, and 
 its long branches are covered with beautiful leaves and white blossoms in thick clusters — 
 nature's process of budding, flowering, and ripening going on upon the same branches and 
 at all seasons of the year. Returning to the veranda of the house, we passed a pleasant hour, 
 which was only disturbed by an occasional thumping upon the roof, which excited my curi- 
 osity to the extent of venturing an inquiry as to its cause, when I was very quietly and un- 
 concernedly informed that it was a snake. Verily, "there is no rose without a thorn," e\en 
 in such a delightful spot as this. 
 
 The following morning, by .special invitation, we breakfasted with Mr. and Mrs. Spaar, 
 and a novel meal it was to us on account of the addition of "hoppers" to the customary 
 breakfast — a delicious cake, made of cocoanut and rice, and served with sugar or syrup. On 
 this occasion one variety was made of pounded rice and grated cocoanut and a little arrak ; 
 another of the cocoanut shredded; another with an egg broken and dropped in the center of 
 the cake, and each baked in a chatty — a small earthen cup. 
 
 We reached our old quarters at "Richmond Hill" in the evening, glad to a\ail ourselves 
 of an early hour for rest and sleep. 
 
 The next day we dined with a number of Wesleyan native ministers, and in the evening 
 I gave my farewell song-sermon to a large gathering of people, who manifested intense in- 
 terest from the opening to the close. Then taking our luggage we repaired to a hotel near 
 the steamboat landing for an early start for India the following morning. 
 
 Along came the grand old ship Mirzapore. the great steamer of the Peninsula and Oriental 
 line, under the conimand of Commodore Parish, a thorough and skillful seaman, and an

 earnest Christian, who held prayers in the saloons ;is regularly as the striking of the morning

 noble captain, i)leasant jiassengers, refreshing punkas, spacious saloons, airy and pleasant cab- 
 ins, and inviting tables. (Ireatly adding to the pleasures of the voyage was our meeting with 
 Hon. I. M. Francis, United States Minister to CIreece, as well as the veteran editor of the 
 Troy Daily Times, and his wife, of my own native State (New York), together with two 
 other American ladies, who were traveling witli them en route from China.

 HREE days' sail after leaving Ceylon brought us alongside Madras, where our ship 
 dropped anchor, and remained eight hours. On ajjproaching the city we were 
 alarmed at seeing our dear country's flag at half mast over the office of the resident 
 consul there, and soon learned from the pajiers brought on board of the death \'ice- 
 President Henry Wilson. Hardly had our steamer's engines ceased when swarms of 
 the Tamil men came shouting over the high surfs, in their frail bark canoes, and clam- 
 bered on board our vessel, eager and anxious to dispose of their wares, consisting of 
 
 ■ ALHinsit S-.IAR

 embroideries, sandal-wood fans, carved images of animals, and various articles, for all of which 
 \vc soon learned that the purchaser sets the correct price upon them, and not the vender. 
 A number of native jugglers came on board, and |)erformed wonderful feats of jugglery, which 
 almost led us to repudiate the laws of nature and those which govern the human body, and 
 which would. I am sure, put to shame all the feeble attempts at the su|)ernatural practiced by 
 the .so-called spiritual mediums of my own country. Not only would they eat knives, take 
 out their eyes, grow plants, swallow snakes, but they would drink water mingled with three 
 different colors of paint, and spit the decoction from their mouths into three separate piles 
 ol colored dry sand. 
 
 Madras was a very cheerless looking city from the deck ol our steamer, and it seems 
 strange that it should have been built down so closely to the shores of the sea without a harbor

 of any kind. Reserving my visit to Madras until a later period, we did not disembark : and 
 the good ship having taken on board a supply of ice and fruits, we sailed away up the ]5ay 
 of Bengal, with slight liead-winds, at the rate of nine knots an hour; and on the following 
 day we find recorded in our journal "the most pleasant day we ever spent on the ocean 
 wave." Awnings were spread over the entire deck, and, hanging half way down the shi]js 
 sides, protected us from the fearful rays and glare of the burning sun; and the cool, grateful 
 ripples of air, produced by the noiseless waving of the jnuikas, with an atmosphere of velvet 
 softness, and a calm, still sea, in whose waters were prismed all the colors of light, there is 
 no adjective in our store of language to adequately describe the beauty, comfort, and tran- 
 quility of these hours. 
 
 Another lovely day, and a blessed one, followed, for it was the holy Sabbath. In the 
 morning the entire ship's crew, excejjt those required on duty at the time, came on deck in 
 full nautical dress, and stood in file for review, each one raising his right hand, and bowing 
 to the captain as he marched down in front of them. The native sailors were dressed in 
 loose white gowns, each carrying a bright i)ocket-handkerchief in his hand. Divine service 
 was held both morning and evening. A\'e found it a real pleasure to use the piano on board 
 this ship; for, unlike most instruments at sea, it was a good one, and in tune; a rare circum- 
 stance, as any one can testify who has tried one of them. 
 
 DIAMOND HARBOR, OR MOUTH OF THE GANGES. 
 
 Early on the morning of November 29th we were in sight of the light-houses and island 
 at the .mouth of the Hoogly, or Ganges, of which so much has been written by missionaries 
 and tourists. But owing to the absence of flood-tide we were obliged to anchor between the 
 capes which guard the river's entrance into the Bay of Bengal until eight o'clock the ne.xt 
 morning, when we had a charming sail up the stream, the scenery upon the banks, though 
 not particularly tropical, being very pretty. 
 
 As we neared Calcutta, the city of palaces, floating thither upon the Ganges, held in such 
 sacred veneration by pagans for centuries, and in whose waters so many lives have been 
 sacrificed to superstition in idolatrous worship, we found the river to resemble in depth and 
 width our Hudson as it -appears above West Point. Landing in boats at the wharf amid a 
 babel of chattering, unknown tongues, and a din of noise entirely new and novel to our 
 ears, we were met by Rev. J. AI. Thoburn, D. D., bearing to us from the ladies of the 
 "Union Missionary American Home" the very kind invitation to make their home ouis while 
 in Calcutta. 
 
 Dr. Thoburn kindly escorted us thither, where the first to greet us was Miss Josie Kim- 
 ball, whom we had often seen at home in New York, and who is now engaged as a missionary

 teacher, doing efficient work for the Master. Here we were soon domiciled in spacious and 
 comfortable apartments, furnished after both the American and Oriental style. This home, 
 under the supervision of "The Woman's Union Mission Society of America for Heathen 
 Lands,' was established thirteen years |)revious to our visit by Miss Brittan, its ]>resent pres- 
 ident or manager, who has associated with her twelve American ladies as teachers. They 
 have already instructed seventy native women, who have become assistant teachers, thus 
 bringing into operation a practical i)lan for the restoration of woman here in India to her 
 lawful sjihere. M\- good wife was often invited by Miss Brittan and her associates to ac- 
 compan) them to the ••zenanas" or homes of the wealthy Baboos, as well as the dwellings 
 of those of inferior caste, and had thereby a rare opportunity of gaining some knowledge of 
 the details of this zenana mission work. 
 
 First, these teachers gain access to the families of households by teaching embroidery, 
 fancy needle-work, and elementary lessons. These families are often quite large from the fact

 that the betrothed of the sons live with the intended step-mother from childhood up to and 
 after marriage: and in many cases fifty persons, consisting of the Baboo and wife, the married 
 sons and their wives and children, their unmarried sons and their betrothed wives, the widows 
 and children of deceased sons are to be foimd living under one roof: the female portion of 
 this household is secluded from the outside world by bars and veils. In the course of needle 
 instruction, the teacher, having previously mastered the language, seeks to impress upon the 
 women that industry is preferable to idleness, that knowledge is a gift as necessary to them as 
 to their husbands, sons, and brothers, and that such acquirements will make them happier and 
 better, as well as thoroughly useful in whatever sphere of life they may be placed. Mrs. Phil- 
 lips was kindly received in these homes in company with the teachers, and freely conversed 
 with the occupants, and heard their simple instruction by interpretation. The women seemed 
 pleased to show her their toilets and jewels, but in no case was she allowed to handle them,

 as the touch of a Christian is considered to so pollute tliese articles as to necessitate a thorough 
 cleansing, it" not their destruction. 
 
 The sad fate of the widows of these people called out her deep sympathy. They are 
 consigned to an almost solitary life, in the most wretched apartments of the father-in-law's- 
 home, and are not allowed to wear jewels, so evidently one of the greatest jirivileges of the 
 women of Hindostan. 'J'he mothers consider themselves very unfortunate in the birth of a 
 daughter, who, however strong their affection, is taken from them and affianced when hut a 
 {ii\i years old; and, on the other hand, they are greatly rejoiced in giving birth to a son, for 
 he can remain with them during life. 
 
 While the missionaries of India are well housed, and have no difficulty in obtaining food, 
 and have it prepared for them without any trouble of their own, their efforts to overcome 
 caste, and to find means of approach to the hearts of the people, wherein to sow the precious 
 seed of the gospel, are full of anxious care and great trial and perplexity. 
 
 At an early hour each morning we were awakened by our soft-footed waiter, who tapped 
 gently on the lattice-door of our room, bringing to us our "chotohazra," or early breakfast, 
 consisting of tea, toast, oranges, and bananas, which we were supposed to eat sitting in our 
 beds, after which we arose and took our baths, and after completing our toilets were ready to 
 receive the early morning call w^hich is so common in India. \\'e breakfasted at eleven o'clock, 
 dined at five, and had tea at seven, served in the drawing-room or verandas, and supper 
 at ten. 
 
 The next morning .Mr. William Meyers called to take us to visit the market-house — a long 
 and commodious structure, one-half of which was occupied by native venders, and the other 
 half by European. My wife and little son rode home therefrom in a palanquin, carried on the 
 shoulders of four natives. The same day we visited some English stores for articles which we 
 needed; also, purchasing "sun topeys," a sort of cork hat for protecting the head from the 
 fierce rays of the sun, to which it is never safe to expose that portion of the body. 
 
 In company with Dr. Thoburn, Miss Brittan, and a party of twelve, we sailed down the 
 Hoogly six miles, in a boat chartered for the purpose, to the garden which is called Eden, 
 named after an accomplished sister of a former governor-general, and not after paradise. It is 
 a great resort for promenade by European and native citizens alike. On entering the garden 
 we saw a live cobra de capello, whose bite is deadly poison. Dr. Thoburn pinned it to the 
 ground with the point of his umbrella until we all had an opportunity of seeing its distended 
 hood, and then he dispatched it, not being able to call on certain Hindoo servants to kill 
 this reptile, as they think the spirits of their deceased relatives dwell in animals, reptiles, and 
 insects, and they might in this act be slaying their fathers or grandfathers. The five servants 
 who accompanied us spread our luncheon beneath a banyan-tree, which covered over an acre 
 of ground, presenting, with its huge parent trunk and myriad tree-column-supported branches, 
 one of the most curious sights we ever gazed upon. That evening in company with Dr. 
 Thoburn I took dinner with Sir Richard Muir, a government officer in British India. 
 
 Our first Sabbath in this city we attended morning service at the Methodist Episcopal 
 Church in Dhuremtollah Street, and listened to a deeply interesting and spiritual sermon by 
 Rev. Dr. J. M. Thoburn, who is the superintendent of American missions in Calcutta, and 
 who is eminentlv successful in carrying out the work which was inaugurated by the world's 
 evangelist. Rev. William Taylor, now bishop of Africa. 
 
 In the evening I gave my first song-sermon in this church, which was attended by an 
 immense audience, and at which four persons rose for prayers. I felt quite anxious to know 
 how many of my hearers were professed Christians, and having requested such to rise, great 
 was my astonishment to see the entire assembly stand up. Not till then did I learn that 
 their idea of a Christian was any one who w-ears European clothing or garments. 
 
 My friends thinking my singing the songs of Jesus in this old city of heathen temples 
 and idolatry seemed to warrant a special effort, it was concluded to commence holding two 
 meetings a day, one in the morning at seven o'clock, and the other in the evening. These 
 were all held in the Methodist Episcopal Chapel, which seats six hundred people. It has no 
 ceilings, but an overhanging roof, beneath the eaves of which ventilation is given the structure 
 on all sides, and being without glass windows, but with latticed blinds, it is as free to the 
 birds of the air as to the people. For awhile but few of the natives attended these services, 
 at which Dr. Thoburn preached and I sang, while the English people seemed to manifest that 
 indifference peculiar to large centers, in which it is so difficult to reach the masses with the 
 preached word. Yet greatly aided by Christian workers, w-e persevered until the interest began 
 to increase, and many expressed a desire for the prayers of God's peo|:)le. These meetings 
 in Calcutta did not compare with those held in the cities of our own land, but taking the sur-

 roundings and influences into consideration, they seemed to result e\ en more successfully than 
 many held in our more civilized and highly favored land. 
 
 After one of the morning services a native came to me and asked for a ]?ihle, which I 
 gave him, with an earnest prayer that it might open u[) to him the way of salvation. On 
 taking it into his hands he manifested the greatest delight, and moved off looking at it as 
 gratified as a lad with his first top. 
 
 One morning after 
 service, with a party 
 of "workers" from 
 the " home," we vis- 
 ited the Kali (Ihaut, 
 where poor deluded 
 souls were bowing 
 down to inanimate 
 images of wood and 
 stone. We were un- 
 der the guidance of 
 Rev. Mr. Muckagee, 
 a converted Brahmin. 
 Once this excellent 
 preacher of the gos- 
 pel, a man of great 
 faith and i)iety, mut- 
 tered the same pray- 
 ers and bowed down 
 at the same shrines to 
 which we now saw his 
 countrymen so de- 
 voted ; and it was 
 most pitiful to witness 
 
 his sadness as we together looked upon them in these acts of idolatrous worship, for the 
 abandonment of which and acceptance of the Saviour he had been forsaken by his parents 
 and kindred. Here we saw the natives bathing in the waters of the .supposed sacred (ianges, 
 and dip]3ing in or sprinkling with its waters the young kids and other offerings they were 
 about to lay at the feet of their different idols. Here animals were being slain, flowers borne, 
 beads counted, and self-infliction made upon the body. Here, too, we came uijon a wretched 
 fakir, sitting motionless over a slow fire, all covered with ashes from the burning embers be- 
 neath him, receiving 
 their smoke in his' 
 eyes until the tears 
 had worn channels 
 down his wan and 
 sunken cheeks. We 
 talked with the poor 
 misguided creature, 
 and learned that for 
 some sixteen years he 
 had repaired to this 
 ])lace for his daily tor- 
 ture. In this misera- 
 ble locality, where 
 crowds were kneeling 
 before their shrines, 
 and offering up sacri- 
 fices and gifts to their 
 idols, w'e were impor- 
 tuned by wretched

 for hel|). 'I'hc Ibllowing descrijitinn uf soiiif of the priiK i|ial idols worshiped in India was 
 given nie by Brother Miickagee: 
 
 " I'he idol Jiii^v^irihiulh, by whose huge car worshipers consider it a great merit to l)e 
 run over and crushed to death, and which has been suppressed by British laws, is represented 
 by the dark-faced figure of Juggernauth on the right, with his green-faced brother on the left, 
 and yellow-faced sister between thcni, with ornamental bands or collars of crimson, yellow, 
 and green hanging from their necks. The heathen god Kislnia is rejiresented standing ujjon 
 the red-hooded head of tlie blue serjjent Kaligua in upright coil. Two forms on either side 
 of this god, with female heads, breasts, and arms attached to serpent tails, are the wives of 
 Kaligua, whom Kishna is said to have destroyed. 'I'here is much that is mysterious con- 
 nected with Hindoo mythology, and the rejiresentation of the incarnate Kishna standing ujjon 
 the head of a huge serpent, and totally destroying it, reminds one of the 'old serpent' having 
 his head bruised by the seed of the woman. Yet the Hindoos themselves know nothing of 
 the typical meaning which seems to be attached to some of their idols, but worship them 
 blindly without being able to give any explanation or reason therefor. 
 
 ••Doo/va, the ten-handed goddess, much worshiped in Bengal in September and October, 
 is rejiresented with her hands full of warlike weajions, among which the bow and sjtear are 
 prominent, and as standing with one foot upon the back of a lion, with the other resting upon 
 the shoulder of the giant .\zoor, whose breast the raging lion is rending with his teeth and 
 claws. Doorga is also worshiped with her elephant-headed son, Clanesh, seated in her lap, 
 with his arms clasjied about her body, which son the devotee is commanded to invoke be- 
 fore the mother, lest he be despised on account of his deformity and uncouth appearance. 
 
 '■The goddess Kali is the wife of Mohedena, the third jierson in the Hindoo idol triad, 
 and is so generally worshiped throughout India that her image is to be seen in almost every 
 Hindoo home, except among the devotees of Kishna. ' She assumes different forms on dif- 
 ferent occasions, is exceedingly bloodthirsty, and is represented in one form with a great knife 
 in the- left hand, with a crimson clot of blood upon her right hand and foot, while with the 
 toes of the left foot she holds a severed human head suspended by the hair. The most re- 
 volting human sacrifices were formerly offered to her, but the cruel practice has been discon- 
 tinued by an edict of the British government. Thieves and robbers always invoke this 
 goddess before going out on their predatory excursions. 
 
 " S/iarasnati, the goddess of learning, is represented as sitting among the leaves of a lotus- 
 tree and jilaying upon a guitar, while one of her feet rests upon an expanded flower. Young 
 Hindoo students worship her at certain seasons of the year, she being pictured out on their 
 desks, ink-stands, and pens. But those who commence the study of the English language 
 soon discontinue doing her reverence, finding in industry and perseverance a surer and a 
 better way of acquiring knowledge. 
 
 ^^ Mohedena, or the great god, is represented in a sitting posture, clothed in tiger skins, 
 and intoxicated with the fumes of burning hemp, the smoke of which is curling about his 
 head. He is worshiped in several other forms, however, and much that is revolting and in- 
 decent is connected with these rites. 
 
 "The monkey god is worshiped because when his devotion and loyalty to his master 
 was questioned he tore open his breast and showed his heart, in which the idols Rama and 
 his wife were to be seen enthroned. In honor of this proof of devoted service to Rama, all 
 monkeys are held sacred by the Hindoos, who suffer them to commit all kinds of depreda- 
 tions upon their ]iroperty without molestation or retaliation. 
 
 '■'Garoier, a horrid-looking, yellow-bodied, green-w-inged old bird w-ith web feet, an old 
 friend of Rama and his fiither, who imprisoned Laban the king of Lanka, or Ceylon, together 
 with his chariot and horses, in his monstrous beak as he was kidnaping Sista, the wife of 
 Rama, and who had to be slain before that king was rescued, is also an object of devout 
 worship. 
 
 "/agafd/tata, who is believed to support or hold up the earth, is a four-armed goddess, 
 and is represented as seated upon the back of a human-faced tiger, w^ho in turn is standing 
 ui)on the head of an elephant. She is another form of Shera's wife, and is accredited as 
 having slain a giant who was a terror to men and gods alike. 
 
 "Other Hindoo idols are a representation of Mohedena begging rice from his wife, who 
 had assumed a form known and worshiped as Annapurna, signifying full of rice and alms. 
 Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Sarasw^ati, the goddess of learning, both the reputed 
 daughters of Mohedena and Doorga, standing together on blossoms of the lotus-tree, as also 
 Krishna and his wife, Radhika, who are ])ictured out in the act of dancing beneath the 
 branches of a palm."

 After leaving these pagan sights behind we visited the ("hina and Borroiigh bazars, where 
 in little, narrow streets the natives display their merchandise, sitting about like so many tailors 
 on their benches, and where, among other trifles, we purchased several pictures representing 
 their heathen deities. 
 
 The next afternoon we went to the inclosure where the natives burn their dead on the 
 funeral jjyre, and saw several bodies thus publicly cremated. One husband was in the act of 
 burning the body of his w-ife, which had been laid upon the pyre, and covered with sandal- 
 wood, her beautiful long hair depending from the ghastly pile. He muttered over some rite, 
 and, placing ri( e upon her mouth, ignited a sort of bamboo broom, touched the flaming torch 
 to her hair, and ran swiftly around the fiercely burning mound three times. He then turned 
 to me and said: "My duty is done. Can you tell me any better way? She was a good 
 woman,'' etc. I was so filled with horror that I could make no reply, and stood there in 
 silence. My wife not desiring to look any longer upon the scene, we turned away. 
 
 But India is the land of superstition and fanatical enthusiasm, .\mong the curious and 
 remarkable religious devotees of this land may be mentioned the Fakirs. In the illustration on 
 next page one of them is represented as standing upon one foot. In this position they stand 
 for hours or days and even for weeks. Others swing their bodies in the air by being sus- 
 pended from hooks fastened in their flesh. But the facts are horrible to contemplate, and we 
 lea\e them to the imagination of the reader, thankful that in our own beloved land religious 
 enthusiasm and devotional zeal takes more agreeable and less harmful forms. 
 
 During our stay in Calcutta the Prince of Wtiles made his famous visit to India, and as 
 the time for the arrival of the Prince, the future Emperor of India, was at hand, the city was 
 thoroughly aglow with expectancy, and all other matters were set aside in order to do be- 
 coming "honor to the king." The i)reparations which had been and were being made were 
 on the most gigantic scale. Triumjjhal arches of great width and many feet in height had 
 been reared at the entrances of the most prominent streets, grand displays were upon every 
 street corner, while miles on miles of public and private buildings were festooned, garlanded, 
 and decorated with the richest magnificence. The Hoogly River was crowded for a long

 In due time the great British man-of-war Scnipis came to anchor with the Prince on board, 
 and pre])arations for his landing commenced. 'I'he wharves and streets were closely packed 
 with at least one hundred thousand people of all nations, lands, and climes, and, mingled 
 with the gayly dressed natives from every part of India, turband with the brightest colors, 
 ])resented a strange and novel spectacle. 'J"he maharajahs and rajahs, native kings and princes, 
 clad in rich velvet and satin vestments, broidered with silver and gold, and sparkling from 
 head to foot with glittering gems, sat ]iroiidly upon their finely-caparisoned steeds in front

 of their bronze-faced retinues. These were also richly dressed; the finest feathers were pinned 
 to their turbans with diamonds, which gleamed in the throng like so many resplendent stars. 
 The reception committee had strewn with the rarest tropical flowers the walk on which 
 the Prince was to pass from the landing to his carriage ; while a bower of evergreen, gar- 
 landed with beautiful scarlet blossoms, was to shield his royal person from the rays of the 
 sun. The moment had come when his feet first pressed the soil of India, and the cannon 
 from a hundred ships and the naval fortifications welcomed him with hoarse-throated thun- 
 ders, which caused the earth to quake, and filled the air with trembling, while great, hot col- 
 umns of smoke rolled into the sky from land and sea. The occasion and its attendant pomp

 and circumstance were replete with exhibitions of human power and grandeur, and were 
 greatly enhanced by the presence of the nati\e royalty in force, with their numerous bands 
 of bronze-faced soUliery, clad in gorgeous robes and uniforms of every color of the j^rism, 
 while their jiiercing black eyes gleamed witii brilliant intensity as they stood in serried ranks, 
 headed by the tawny-eyed prince and potentate of this famed Eastern Empire. 
 
 The Bishop of Calciu- 
 ta, accompanied by Lord 
 Northcote, the \'iceroy 
 of India, and a large ret- 
 inue of prominent offi- 
 cials and native kings 
 and jirinces, was the first 
 to greet the Prince. The 
 bishop read to him the 
 address of welcome, 
 which precious docu- 
 ment, inclosed in a box 
 of gold, and re|)osiiig 
 \ipon a velvet cushion, 
 was borne in the proces- 
 sion by a sentinel. After 
 the address came the in- 
 troductions and hand- 
 shaking, while the bands 
 made the air resonant 
 •with the national anthem, 
 "God save the Queen." 
 The great assemblage 
 then formed in proces- 
 sion, and moved through 
 the principal streets, ])ass- 
 ing imder the trium|)hal 
 arches and their loyal in- 
 scriptions, with the Prince 
 at the front, who was re- 
 ceived with the waving 
 of flags, banners, and 
 handkerchiefs, while the 
 air was filled with the 
 music and cheers. The 
 Prince appeared in the 
 uniform of an English 
 soldier, having on his 
 head a helmet surmount- 
 ed with his three-featlier- 
 €d plume. His carriage 
 was immediately followed 
 liy the English and nati\ e 
 regiments of the line, and 
 by the respective com- 
 mands of the maharajahs 
 and rajahs, it being drawn 
 by four beautiful white 
 horses. 
 
 The exercises and fes- 
 tivities of the evening ' 
 
 were even more grand and imposing ihan those of the day, the whole city being illuminated 
 with a blaze of splendor, to accomplish which every device for turning 'darkness into light 
 was brought into use. .Mile after mile of streets glowed with streams of fire. The buildings 
 were fairly wreathed with millions of Chinese lanterns of variegated colors, while great ban- 
 ners lettered in flame bore the inscriptions "God bless the noble Prince,'' " God" keep the

 al)scnt Princess/' "(Jod bless our future King." It was altogether a day and a night never 
 to be forgotten l)y the jjeople of the Indian Empire; and as 1 looked ujjon its pageantry, and 
 heard the multitude hail their future monarch, ' could not help thinking what a day that will 
 be, when the great Ruler of the universe, the Prince of Peace, shall come to claim His own. 
 Finally, tired in limb and weary in brain, we repaired to our beds, but far too much excited 
 by the day's ])roceedings to enjoy quiet sleep, ahhough the next day was to witness our de- 
 parture for the up-country. 
 
 At II o'clock on the evening of December 29th, after liidding the ladies at the '•Home' 
 good-bye, and taking leave of a number of friends who had assembled at the depot, we took 
 the train for Benares, seven hundred and sixty miles distant, this being our first railroad ride 
 in India. 1 give here an illustration of Indian traveling as it 70a s : and 1 must <(infess that. 
 
 TRAVELING IN INDIA AS IT WAS. 
 
 although Indian traveling as it is. is not the most enjoyable, it is at least not subject to incon- 
 veniences such as those portrayed in our sketch, and is, therefore, much to be preferred to 
 the older mode. Most of the people avail themselves of night travel in this country, it being 
 hot and dusty in the day; so with pillows, blankets, lunch-baskets, and my dear ones at my 
 side, we took our compartments in the English-built, first-class car. and soon were speeding 
 on our way, tired enough to go to sleep without being rocked or lullabied. The scenery along 
 the route was, for the most part, quite monotonous. Indeed, had it not been for the mud- 
 houses and the ox-carts with their many yokes of toiling cattle, their bronze-faced drivers, and 
 the immense fields of the castor-bean, we could have imagined ourselves in some portions of 
 Illinois. 
 
 From our compartments we also had a view of the awkward implements still used by the 
 Hindoos for cultivating and irrigating the soil, for gathering and grinding grain, for cutting 
 and sawing timber, for spinning and weaving cotton, silk, and wool, so thoroughly simple as 
 never to have taxed inventive genius, and never improved since first brought into use a thou- 
 sand years ago. These additional evidences of a half civilized country completely scattered 
 our morning fancies of being in the great railway arteries of industry in our own great \\est. 
 
 At eight o'clock the evening following our departure from Calcutta, we came in sight of 
 the tall spires, stately domes, and myriad pagodas and minarets of the famed city of pagan 
 temples. 
 
 Benares is considered the most holy city by the Hindoos, who call it the Lotus of the 
 world, and insist that it is perched upon one of the prongs of the idol Shiva's trident. To 
 bathe here in the sacred Ganges will, they believe, bring blessing and purification .-ilmost in- 
 conceivable; and the town teems with Brahmin priests and mendicant fakirs, who subsist u]ion

 the gifts of the faithful. This idolatrous stream, which is sixteen hundred miles from its 
 source to its mouth at the bay of IJengal, is worshiped by millions of Hindoos, and thou- 
 sands die in or have their ashes strewn upon its waters annually, exjjecting to obtain eternal 
 life through their efficacy. A bath or di|) in the stream is sujjpo.sed to heal the sick, com- 
 fort the dying, and cleanse from sin however black and heinous, while thoughts of it from 
 afar will remove the foul effects of sin. 
 
 In company with our good missionary friend, the Rev. Dr. Richardson, we visited sev- 
 eral of the Hindoo temples, and saw the sacred oxen and peafowls, and the natives bowing 
 to them. 
 
 Now that the English control the government, no money can be had to build new heathen 
 temples, or even to repair the old ones, the consecpience of which is that many of these struct- 
 ures are ra])idly going to decay. The ground floors of some of them are sunken several feet 
 under water. The (Janges is the river of the Almighty (lod, and its ebb and flow and flood, 
 so silentl)' and rapidly undermining and causing the destruction of those ancient monuments 
 a id shrines of heathenism, brings forcibly to mind the Scriptural ]jassage, "And the idols 
 He shall utlerly aliolish." 
 
 FEA-iT OF THE MOMt RRLM. 
 
 Close by these teni]jle.-; to false gods,' but further removed from old Canges' waves, stands 
 a Christian church, where the. gospel is preached every Sabbath, and where the white and 
 black alike, whose faith is founded on the rock of Christ Jesus instead of upon imaginary 
 spirits dwelling in idols and temples builded on the sand, meet to praise and glorify His name. 
 To my service of song that evening there was a goodly gathering, and the two hours seemed 
 to give those attending thorough pleasure. 
 
 The next day we walked through .several of the narrow streets, darkened by the tall build- 
 ings, and witnessed many curious sights, among whicli was a native funeral procession, the 
 wails of the women falling sadly upon our ears. 
 
 While here the Mohammedan festival, called the Mohurrum, took ]jlace. This is an an- 
 nual feast and lasts three days. In the gorgeous pageant men may be seen bearing upon their 
 shoulders jiagoda-like structures su])])osed to represent the tombs of the martyrs. 'I'hey are 
 covered with gilt and tinsel, some of them being thirty feet in height. While the soft strains

 of mujic were wafted in the air, indeed the surging mass, with the many-colored robes and 
 great turbans, seemed like fairy creations. .Antl the ilesire to behold an oriental scene was 
 fully satisfied. 
 
 Our next journey was to .Mlahabad. On our arrival we were met bv the Re\. J. II. 
 .\nderson, a Hapiist missionary, and escorted to the .Xnierican Zenana home, to which place 
 we had been previously invited. We were kindly received, and foimd delightful c[uiet. The 
 house was large and the compound spacious, the latter being irrigated with water drawn by

 oxen from wells. Natives with the skins of goats filled with water, and carried under their 
 left arms, sprinkled the flowers and gardens, which are ten inches below the raised avenues 
 or paths leading through the grounds. 
 
 .\t the close of my evening service in this city an English officer invited myself and family 
 to ride about the city next day. Judge of our surprise on being called out at an early hour 
 next morning to take a seat upon a large and gorgeously caparisoned elephant, from which 
 elevation we took in the sights of Allahabad. 
 
 This was formerly a Klohammedan town, and called by them the city of God; but it 
 has relapsed from the old faith into that of Brahma. It is located on the banks of the River 
 Jumma, just before its entrance into the Ganges, — is the junction of the Bombay and Calcutta 
 lines of railway with those of Northern India, and the capital of the north-western provinces.

 Tliroiigh its streets we passed on a level with its second-story windows, our native driver guid- 
 ing the inanimoth and intelligent king of the larger beasts' by touching his ears with an iron 
 hook. We rode through the native portion of the city, with its clay walls — which seemed 
 strong enough in dry weather, but which crumble and fall in wet seasons — and i)assed the old 
 fort, and the blood-tree, which many of the Hindoos worshi]). Then we were jostled on the 
 ba( k of this great servant of mankind through the English portion of the place, which ajijjeared 
 to much advantage, and in which the trees gave refreshing shade. ' 
 
 After giving an evening of song here, we took train for Agra at midnight, the richness 
 and architecture of whose tombs e.xcel those of any other land or clime. On the wide seats 
 of the cars we spread our comforts and pillows, awakening in the early morning to enjoy a 
 view of an interesting country as far as natural beaut\- is concerned, but more intensely inter- 
 esting on account of the ajipearance of the people, and the agricultural employments in which 
 they were indolently engaged, aided by the use of the rudest implements for tillmg and irriga-

 ting the .soil. Here we saw vast wheat-fields watered from hundreds of wells, from which the 
 water was drawn by ox-power and caught in leather bags or buckets, and thus conducted 
 over the grounds; here were large, purplehued ]jlantations of the castor-bean, from which 
 the oil is expressed, and which is also planted and harvested with the most ancient of tools 
 and appliances. We were much amused at the methods used by the natives in making ex- 
 cavations in the soil or clay, carrying away all debris in baskets on their heads, while small 
 columns of earth were left standing beside the wells or holes to indicate their depth, the 
 excavators being so dishonest that their employers comj)el them to keep this kind of "double 
 entry " of dejjth in order to ascertain the exact amount due for their labor, and to prevent 
 cheating in their work. 
 
 Arriving at the city about noon we were met at the station by Mr. T. Bailey, and con- 
 veyed to his i)leasant home, where we found every thing most charmingly arranged for health 
 and CDiifort in this tropical climate, and where we were most hosijitably entertained by this 
 Christian banker and his wife and daughters, .\fter a refreshing night's rest, our host gave

 US a splendid morning drive about the city. We visited the fort, a circular wall of massive 
 red sandstone, one mile and a half in circumference, seventy feet in height, and once the 
 residence of an ancient Indian kinj;. Within the fort we came upon the crumbling ruins of 
 some of the finest architecture extant: but only the imperial palace and Pearl Mosque remain 
 in a sufficient state of preservation to give one an idea of the past regal grandeur and mag- 
 nificence of the buildings. 
 
 The following morning we made our visit to the Taj Mahal, the grandest monument of 
 the spiritual love "of man for woman, built from the materials of earth, anil adorned with the 
 highest intelligence of human skill and craft. It was Shah Jehan. a grandson of the mighty 
 king Akbar, the Cxsar of India, who extended the Mogul Rminre from Indus to the Bay of 
 Bengal, and who not only built the fort of Agra, the great and massive tomb Fultehpore 
 Sikra, to Sheik Selim Christi, his religious monitor, but also his own imposing and wonderful 
 tomb at Secundra. He outrivaled his great ancestor, and both the ancient and the modern 
 world, in the erection of this beautiful tomb-palace over the ashes of his sultana, Bunoo Begum, 
 whom in life and death he loved with a surpassing love.

 TAJ M\HAL. 
 
 Tradition has it that this beloved and loving woman exacted a promise from Shah Jehan 
 at her death that he would build her the most beautiful tomb on earth, and also that he would 
 not marry again. But those most familiar with the emotions of the human heart reject this 
 latter request as improbable from a woman who could inspire in her lifetime the lasting affec- 
 tion and fidelity exhibited by her bereaved lord after she had passed away in her loveliness 
 and devotedness from the earth and his sight. 
 
 Taj Mahal rises in solemn grandeur and beauty m the center of finely terraced grounds, 
 on a slight eminence on the west bank of the Jumma, about three miles from the city, and 
 is surrounded with twenty-five acres of land, laid out in immense gardens of indescribable 
 richness and magnificence. Within its groves carol all the sweetest songsters of the air, 
 springing fountains and silver streams leap up murmuringly on every hand, and the choicest

 and most beautiful flowers fill the atmospheri.- with the rare fragrance of perfume which only 
 Oriental climes can boast. The grounds are sinrounded by high, massive walls of brown 
 stone, not unlike those used in the fronts of many of our Fifth Avenue residences, the en- 
 trance being through a grand gateway of immense [jroportions, overhung by an arch eighty 
 feet in height, composed of the same stone, and adorned with jjanelings of while marlile. 
 These panels are covered with texts from the Koran: the letters are most skillfully inlaid witii 
 black marble; each tablet or jjanel is surmounted with a delicate white marble minaret, and 
 the massivcness of the arcli and its architectural enil)ellisiiments is calculated to inijiress the 
 beholder with astonishment. Such exhibitions of man's creative faculty in the rearing of ma- 
 jestic buildings, composed of giant i)locks of stone, arrangetl in the most beautiful shajies, 
 inspire the mind with awe. 
 
 We passed beneath this might)- arch and trod the paved walks of variegated marl)les, 
 bordered with stone water-trenches, along which ran curbing of ric'hly carved marble, bor- 
 dered with the rarest and loveliest flowers. Through the vista of waving cypress-trees inter- 
 sected with fountains, we beheld the Taj, situated on an elevated stjuare of thirty feet in 
 height, which is paved with white and colored marble blocks, with a beautifully proi)ortioned 
 but slender white marble minaret rising at each corner of the platen full two hundred and 
 seventy-five feet into the air. In the center of this square, which is supported on its four 
 sides by foundation walls of .solid granite, stands the Taj, an octagonal structure of jiolished 
 white marble, one hundred and fifty feet long at each ])oint of the compass, and surmounted 
 by a huge dome seventy feet in diameter, which glistens in the sun like a burnished castle 
 of silver, and tapers from a globular into a spiral shape, terminating with a golden crescent. 
 Four smaller domes of the same beautiful form crown the center of the fa<;ades, which rise 
 two-thirds the height of the edifice over the four entrances or porches entering the tomb, a 
 series of lesser arches being built in below them and extending inwards, upon and about which 
 the entire chapters of the Koran are lettered in delicately inlaid black marble. The Taj, or 
 tonib-|xilace, is two hundred and forty-five feet in height, while the distance from the tessel- 
 ated pavement to the golden crescent is two hundred and seventy-five feet. 
 
 But if we find the majesty of the outward view of this wonderful structure to bafile de- 
 scription, how can we hope to depict its matchless wealth of loveliness within, which rests 
 lather than wearies our sight with grand visions, filling our souls with longing anticipations 
 tor the "house of many mansions, whose Maker and builder is God" — a home of everlasting 
 life instead of a mausoleum of the dead ? Through the great kindness of the superintendent, 
 Mr. Smith, we were permitted to see the e.xterior of the tomb by moonlight and tho interior 
 by lamp-light, both of which .sights filled us with wonder and admiration, and left an impres- 
 sion upon our minds never to be effaced. 
 
 Upon entering the tomb, beneath you in the very center of the structtire, in a sunken 
 circular chamber in the main floor, you behold the sarcophagi of Bunoo Begum and .Shah 
 Jehan. That of the empress is in the center of the chamber, and that of the emperor just 
 by its side, both being constructed of spotless marble as white as the falling snow. But the 
 glory of the building is embodied in its matchless dome of i)urest white marble glittering with 
 precious stones, through which a single delicate stream of light falls with mellowed softness 
 on the tombs below. "The floor of this dome-vaulted chamber is of polished marble and 
 jasper, ornamented with wainscoting of sculptured marble tablets, inlaid with flowers formed 
 of precious stones. Around are windows of screens of marble filigree, richly wrought in va- 
 rious patterns, which admit a faint and delicate illumination into the gorgeous apartment, all 
 of which is of purest marble, so pierced and carved as to look like a high curtain of most 
 exquisite lace-work, but is even far more refining, for everywhere along the panels are wreaths 
 of flowers composed of lapis lazuli, jasper, chalcedony, carnelian, and other gems, so that lo 
 make one of the hundreds of these boquets a hundred different stones are required." 
 
 All this magnificence was executed for the empress, while Shah Jehan contem|)lated build- 
 ing a toml) as beautiful for himself on the other side of the river Jumma, designing to connect 
 the two with a bridge of ivory. But giving up the latter ]jroject he decided to occupy the 
 Taj with his empress, and consequently applied the |)urest marble and richest gems to the 
 construction of her sarco])hagus. The Rev. Dr. William Butler, who has the great honor of 
 being the founder of .Methodism of India, in his very interesting book entitled, "The Land 
 of the Veda," thus describes her tomb: "But her tomb, how beautiful! The snow-white 
 marble is injaid with flowers of ]5recious stones, .so delicately formed that they look like em- 
 broidery on white .satin, so exquisitely executed in mosaic with carnelian, blood-stone, agate, 
 jasper, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and other gem-stones!" On one side of her tomb, recorded in 
 Arabic, the sacred language of the Mohammedans, each letter formed of gems, is the name 
 
94 
 
 TAJ M.I//.U.. 
 
 of the empress, the date of her death, and a tribute to her virtuous quahties. The tomb of 
 the emperor, though not so costly, has his name and the date of his death inscribed upon it, 
 and is ornamented with flower-work in brilliant gems. 
 
 The great dome which rises above their last resting-place is so constructed as to jjroduce 
 an echo, which is unrivaled for its purity and sweetness. Seated on the marble floor beneath 
 this great structure with my dear family at my side, Superintendent Smith said, "Sing some-

 thing." Accordingly, my son James struck up to the hymn of the "Better Land, ' whose soft 
 cadences were repeated by the echo with overpowering and sublime sweetness. The melody, 
 passing from earth to heaven, seemed to be caught up by choir after choir in the ascent, and 
 re-uttered by millions of unseen vocalists of the air, and could only be compared to that which 
 we all some time hope to hear when the angel convoy of glory shall descend to earth to 
 bear our ransomed spirits home. 
 
 Says a brilliant author in speaking of this most singular phenomenon: "It is the very 
 element of which sweet dreams .nre builded. It is the melancholy echo of the past, and the

 bright, delicate harping of the future. It is the atmosphere breathed by Ariel, and playing 
 about the fountains of Chindori. It is the spirit of Taj, the voice of the inspired love which 
 called into being the peerless wonder of the world, and elaborated its symmetry, and composed 
 its harmony, and 
 eddying around its 
 grand minarets and 
 domes, bleniled 
 them without a line 
 in the azure of im- 
 mensity." 
 
 Leaving .Vgra 
 we came to the an- 
 cient sites and pres- 
 ent city of Delhi, 
 which is the most 
 eminently historic 
 in all India, and 
 which as it now 
 stands was com- 
 menced to be built 
 in 1647. It is en- 
 circled by a mass- 
 ive wall of five and 
 one-half miles in 
 length, which is 
 pierced with ten 
 gates, the principal 
 ..ones in use by the 
 Europeans being 
 the Cashmere, Ca- 
 bul. and Mora. 
 The ruins of the 
 former cities of 
 th:it name which 
 surround the pres- 
 ent Delhi cover a 
 territory of not less 
 than forty-five S(]. 
 miles. Here, it is 
 asserted, fully a 
 dozen ])roud cities 
 have been built by 
 Persian, Moham- 
 medan, and Brah- 
 min, and con- 
 r[uered and razed

 he occupied and where he established the great Nfogul Empire, which Great Britain only suc- 
 ceeded in entirely suppressing in the period extending from 1803 to 1857. 
 
 Towering two hundred and thirty-eight feet in the air and overlooking all these miles of 
 ruins is the famous Kootal Minor, which is claimed to be the highest pillar in the world, a 
 massive circular column of fluted red .sandstone and marble, rising in five sections, or stories.

 the base of each story being ornamented with a landing ;md bahistrade, and all w<)n<lerfiilly 
 graduated from the base to the apex. Upon this pillar are rarved texts from the Koran in 
 Arabic letters, while a circular iron staircase rises from the earth to its summit. For what 
 ))urpose or by whom this time-defying work of centuries, now thought to be fully three ihou- 
 sanil old, was built, is not known. A cylindrical iron shaft, sixteen feet thick and sixty feet 
 in length, and thought to weigh seventeen tons, which stands ujiright in the earth (piite near 
 the pillar, is, if any thing, of still greater antiquity. Here, too, is seen the tomb of Huma- 
 yuan, more massive and imposing than those of -■Xgra, with its great dome of white marble 
 resting on arcades of red sandstone inlaid with richly carved ornaments of the former material. 
 We took advantage of the charming weather to visit .several other places of interest, among 
 which was the Jumma Musjid, the most famous as well as magnificent mosipie on the earth. 
 This wonderful structure is built on a rocky eminence, within the inclosure of the city walls, 
 and extends from the Cashmere to the 1 )elhi gate. It has three massive gateways of red sand-

 Stone, approached by three magnificent flights of steps composed of the same material, all of 
 which led into an immense quadrangular court, occupied in the center by a spacious reservoir 
 of water. On the west side of this court stands the mosque, two hundred and twenty feel 
 long by twenty feet in width, which is surmounted with marble cujwlas and gilded s[)ires. At 
 each end of the structure are two beautiful minarets, composed of white and black marble, 
 each rising to a height of one hundred and thirty feet. Here we saw the Mohammedans at

 their devotions. After washing at the basin, they removed their sandals and knelt on the 
 white marble scjuares with which their mosque was paved. Each block or square is designed 
 for the use of a single worshiper, the entire floor being surrounded with an inlaid border of 
 black and white marble. 
 
 We next visited the crumbling and thoroughly stripped palace of Shah Jehan, from which 
 the British soldiers were driven in the great mutiny of 1857; as also the heights which those 
 brave men afterward occupied and fortified, withstanding a six months' siege, and from whence, 
 being reinforced, they descended and retook both the palace and the city. After inspecting

 these historic spots we made our way to our hosiiitablo (juarters. Here, too. the people were

 soldiers were to take part, and which was to be illustrative of the retaking of Delhi from the 
 mutineers. Therefore, bidding this locality, so full of ancient and modern interest, adieu, we 
 took the night train for Lucknow, the capital of Oude. 
 
 Arriving at the famous capital of the ancient Indian kingdom of Oude, which has be- 
 come a sort of Methodist center in this empire, we were driven to the American Mission 
 
/.C'CAXOir 7 CAllXJ'0/iE. 99 
 
 Home, presided over by Miss Thoburn, assisted by a noble band of lady associates, who are 
 doing a great and good work. My three services were held in the Methodist Episcopal 
 Church, which is undoiibtetlly the largest edifice of the denomination in Northern India, and 
 all of them were well attended and seemed to be generally appreciated. In addition to other 
 branches of our denominational work in this city, is a sort of .Methodist book-house, and also 
 a newspaper, established by Rev. J. M. Thoburn, and now edited by Rev. J. M. Mudge, 
 entitled 7'/h' Liickiiow llVOirss. The advantage and inlUience of this i)aper is felt not only in 
 the city and vicinity, but throughout all Northern Indiii. 
 
 Lucknow is built on the south side of the (uiomitee River, which is navigable downward 
 through its whole course to its confluence with the (kmges. It contains nearly half a million 
 inhabitants, and is divided into three distinct quarters, the first being the old native city, or 
 "Chowk," spreading over considerable territory, but meanly built, and very dirty; the second 
 being the site of the palaces of the native king and the residences of his court, and the third 
 consisting of palaces, religious edifices, and European residences. 
 
 The great mutiny broke out at Lucknow, May 30, 1857, and continued until September 
 25th of the same year. During this period the English kept up a constant siege, commencing 
 the cannonade at daybreak, which continued for three hours, giving themselves a rest through 
 the heat uf midday, and again commencing the fire in the afternoon. With the fall of this 
 city and the victory of the British troops under the command of General Havelock, the back- 
 bone of this fearful rebellion was broken, and the distracted province was restored to peace. 
 
 Among our pleasant experiences here was a ride on an elephant, kindly sent us by a 
 rajah for a day's enjoyment. In our seats u[)on the back of the huge animal we were photo- 
 graphed by an accommodating artist, a Urasian gentleman, who was in our company. Riding 
 through the nati\e portion of the city we were enabled from our commanding position to 
 obtain a fine view; but the panorama of strange sights, and the babel of strange sounds which 
 came to our eyes and ears as we threaded the narrow avenues, crowded with native bazars, 
 baffles all power of description. 
 
 We could not de])art from this famous locality without driving some four miles in a 
 gharry in company with Mrs. Waugh, one of the noble ladies of the American Home, who 
 kindly acted as our "friend, philosojjher, and guide" to several ])laces of interest. Prominent 
 among these was the Residency, which was nearly rendered a ma.ss of ruins in the Sepoy 
 mutiny, and in the attack upon and siege of which I'y the insurgents the English residents 
 and soldiery endured such horrible sufferings. Almost within the shadow of these ruins we 
 came upon the quiet and peaceful sj)ot where repose the remains of the gallant Christian 
 soldier. Sir Henry Havelock, whose life proved to be the ransom paid for the great victory 
 gained in 1857. His simple grave and monument are overshadowed by a large and beautiful 
 tamarind tree, from which we plucked some dark green leaves in token of our visit, and bade 
 a sad and reverential farewell to the silent sleeper lieneath it. 
 
 After a glance at the liome of Dr. Butler, while he was resident here, and a visit to the 
 magnificent tomb of one of the ancient kings of the province, we came to a monkey temple. 
 The grounds and surrountlings, as well as the interior of this building, fairly swarmed with 
 troops of these curious and cunning animals, which are here held in sacred veneration. As 
 at the temple at Benares, they were left to wander where they pleased, and some of them 
 jumped into our vehicle, mounted tlie backs of our horses, and indulged in other humorous 
 familiarities. 
 
 From Lucknow we w-ent to Cawnpore to attend a session of the North India Conference. 
 Here we were delightfully entertained at the splendfd home of Arnold Beers, Estp, a prom- 
 inent German citizen. This home seemed to be a sort of head-quarters for missionaries and 
 good people coming to the town, tor it must be remembered that there are no hotels in the 
 smaller towns in India, the.se being found only in the populous centers. In such localities, 
 therefore, strangers and visitors are entertained and cared for by the missionaries and their 
 associate Christians, who seem to take delight in ministering to the temi)oral wants of Amer- 
 ican and European travelers, as well as caring for the souls of men. It was a privilege to 
 me to attend a Methodist Conference in a heathen land, and note the rapid jjrogress of the 
 Church during the few short years since it had been jilanted here by Dr. \\'illiam Butler, 
 as also to hear the sixty ministers and their working companions devising methods and plans 
 to give the gospel to the famishing millions of that far-off land. 
 
 Before leaving Cawnjiore we visited the site of one of the most intensely horrible scenes 
 of the mutiny of 1857, where some two hundred women and children were ruthlessly butch- 
 ered by the Sepoys, cast shrieking into a great well, and there left to die — an act of barbarity 
 
JXD/.I. 
 
 without ]>arallel in the annals of history. Over this well the government has built a magnifi- 
 cent monument, with an appropriate inscrijjtion recording the event. 
 
 A very jjleasant incident during our stay here was our attendance upon a charming 
 "tiffin," or garden party, which was held on very pleasant grounds some five miles distant 
 from the town, a large number of the members of the conference with their wives being 
 j)resent. 
 
 MEMOKIAL WELL, LAWM'OKE. 
 
 Here I was handed by Rev. B. H. Badley, the secretary of the India Methodist Epis- 
 copal Conference, a copy of a resolution adopted by that body extending to me a most cordial 
 welcome. 
 
 The next morning we again took the train to revisit Allahabad, and after a pleasant 
 journey, soon found ourselves among the rank and file of the followers of the Lamb and sol- 
 diers of the Cross in the salvation army of the Indian provinces. Here at this time took 
 place two gatherings of worshipers of the widest distinction. Supplied with horse, bullock, 
 
BOMBAY— THE PARSEES. 
 
 and elephant conveyance, we went with a i)arty of ("hristian ladies and gentlemen to look 
 upon one of the great heathen fetes of the Hindoos called "Mela," which is iield annually 
 at the mouth of the river Jumma, where it enters the (Janges. This is considered by the 
 Hindoos to be the holiest sjjot on the sacred river, and hither the j)Oor heathen make annual 
 pilgrimage from hundreds of miles around to bathe and make offerings, occupying temporary 
 huts or booths in which they offer their wares and trinkets to |)urchasers. Here we saw a 
 perfect army of blind, disfigured, and disabled men and women asking alms, and hundreds of 
 fakirs, or holy men as they are called, their faces begrimed with smoke, their bodies sprinkled 
 with dirt and ashes, and their hair singed and matted, all busy with their idolatrous and 
 blasphemous rites. So much heathenism in its vilest and most disgusting forms made our 
 souls sick and our hearts ache. 
 
 We returned to the city to attend another gathering, which was that of the first India 
 Sunday-school Convention, to which 1 had <ome by s[)ecial invitation to sing the songs of 
 Zion, and where were gathered the leading Sunday-school workers of India. 
 
 Oh, what a contrast was here as we lifted our hearts to Jesus and counseled how we could 
 best make known and glorify His name to the jiitiable scenes being enacted upon the banks 
 of the Oanges by poor, deluded, and misguided men and women! We were housed and 
 dined with the delegates to the convention in a large bungalo, which was our first experience 
 in a native residence, and the occasion and the circumstances will never be forgotten. 
 
 Taking the night train we arrived the following afternoon at Bombay, having been greatly 
 interested on the route by the miles and miles of cobcactus with which the railway was for- 
 midably and securely fenced in. Bombay is one of the greatest commercial centers, has the 
 finest and most spacious harbor, and is really the golden gate of India. It is built on Bombay 
 Island, which is connected with the island of Salsette, as also with the main land, liy extensive 
 causeways. It has a mixed po|Hilation of all nations, tongues, and kindred. Its most dis- 
 tinguished, jjrosperous, intelligent, and public-s[)irited citizens are the Parsees, descendants 
 from the ancient Persian worshi])ers of fire, who are also noted for their commercial and busi- 
 ness qualifications and for their great wealth, and are in charge of most of the government 
 works of the city. 
 
 We took up our quarters for a few days at the Esplanade Hotel, a massive structure, 
 seven stories in height. In fact, most of the government and mercantile buildings of this great 
 city are noteworthy, spacious, and imposing. Then, too. unlike other Indian cities, the streets 
 and dwellings more exclusively occujjied by the English are with difficulty designated from 
 those of the natives, as all are of quite modest and modern construction, and embowered in 
 the shade of the favorite cocoanut-palm, planted in the streets, yards, and gardens by the 
 thousand. 
 
 Here also, as in Calcutta, are miles on miles of native bazars, in which all castes, sects, 
 and colors sell their fruits and wares. As the crowds jiass along the streets, the eye is re- 
 lieved, not only by the appearance of those clad in garments of European fashion and fabric, 
 but by the awkward funnel-shaped hats worn by the Parsee men, as also by tlie bright colored 
 silk dresses and turlians of their wives and daughters. 
 
 I gave several of my services, and in no city of the East did I receive a more hearty 
 reception than in Bombay, for not only was I warmly welcomed by the Baptist, Methodist, 
 Presbyterian, and Wesleyan Missions, but the Church of England people met me with great 
 cordiality. Here I met the Rev. (leorge Bowen, editor of the Bombay Guardian, and Mr. 
 Henry Conder, otie of the managers of the great India Railway. While singing here, the 
 Bombay Gazclk did me the great honor of publishing a sketch of my life, speaking in 
 highest compliment and with much enthusiasm of my singing services, for all of whi( h I 
 felt thankful for the sake of the cause in which I was engaged as well as for myself. I also 
 attended a large tea-meeting, held by the city merchants, where I met a number of distin- 
 guished Parsees. 
 
 The Parsees are of Persian origin, and are disciples of Zoroaster, who is supposed to have 
 brought his sacred fire from heaven. That portion of the race which wandered from Persia 
 to India after they had been conquered by the Mohammedans, and who were taken under 
 I)rotection by the Rajah of Cuzerat, claim to have brought hither with them this sacred fire, 
 which has never been extinguished, and which their priests keep burning in their temples, 
 feeding it with the choicest woods and spices. They recognize one omnipresent, omnipotent, 
 and invisible (iod without form, the creator, ruler, and preserver of the universe, and the last 
 judge, whom they call Ormazd. They believe in astrology, and that the stars have a benef- 
 icent influence ujion the affairs of men, and, to those who understand them, can reveal the 
 secrets of the future. While they abominate idols, they reverence fire and the sun as emblems 
 
102 JXDIA. 
 
 of the supreme deity, the sun being recognized as the eye of Orma/.d, their God. 'I'hcir re- 
 hgion enjoins prayer, obedience, industry, honesty, hosi)i'tality, charity, chastity, and trutliful- 
 ness; while envy, hatred, anger, revenge, and ])olygamy are strictly forbidden. They have 
 borrowed somewhat the fashion of jiriesthood and caste from the Hindoos, and their funeral 
 rites and the disjwsal of their dead are very strange. Their cemeteries are erected on a 
 liigh eminence, and are in the form of a circle, being (-moothly jjaved with stone and sur- 
 rounded witli high walls, which rise even above the tops of tall trees within the inclosure. 
 U|)on the summit of a lofty stone tower, built in the center of the inclosure, is an open iron 
 grating ui)on which they lay the naked bodies of their dead to be stripped of flesh by birds of 
 ])rey. The bones, falling through the grating into a pit or common receptacle beneath, are 
 in due time secredy removed through subterranean passages. The males have worn the same 
 ungainly and jjcculiar shaiied hat for ages. The number of Tarsees resident in India and 
 its "adjacent islands is estimated at about one himdred and twenty-five thousand. 
 
 Completing my arrangements for a trip to Madras on an absence of two weeks, I accepted 
 the kind invitation of Miss Butts to leave my family at the Chur< h of England Mission Home, 
 located in Kyculla, a charming little suburb of Bombay. While there my dear wife gained 
 additional insight into the methods of this most important branch of the India mission work, 
 which is so vitally aided by the English and American lady physicians. The skill of these 
 ladies is so greatly prized by the native idolaters of all castes that they soon gain access into 
 their homes to attend to the medical wants of the women and children, and in so doing often 
 pave the way for the admittance of the Zenana teachers. 
 
 A few of the pupils at this church home boarded there, and were instructed in the En- 
 glish and Mahratti languages by both English and native pundits. My wife in company with 
 Miss Butts visited the Alexandria Institute, presided over by a Parsee gentleman. The school 
 was composed of the daughters of well-to-do Parsees, who were here taught drawing, em- 
 broidery, and the elementary branches of study. There were about fifty in attendance, all 
 wearing bright little turbans handsomely embroidered on silk with beads and precious stones. 
 They were robed in the brightest colored silk trowsers, with silk or lace tunics, all of which 
 were beautifully embroidered. Their shoes, which were cut high, seemed to represent the 
 hues of the rainbow. 
 
 Accompanying Miss Butts, they called upon a Hindoo lady of high caste, who spoke 
 Ensjlish and seemed much inclined to our religion. In another family, where she was teach- 
 ing" the children embroidery and needle-work, it was very interesting to see the litde, eager, 
 daVk-faced group gathered about her. Here she had recently gained admission, and must 
 not force or" urge her religious ideas upon the children, but first gain their attention by teach- 
 ini; them some bright jjicture, or telling some interesting story. She commenced this day by 
 askim; these little ones if they ever knew any little lioy who never did any thing wrong, never 
 told l"ies, never struck his little friends, and always loved and minded his ])arents. Of course, 
 they replied, they never knew one so good, and she said she would tell them of one such 
 good boy. Then gradually she told them in simple, earnest words about the childhood of 
 Jesus, never mentioning his name in the connection, but reserving it for future lessons, when, 
 as she gains their full love and confidence, she will gradually unfold "the old, old story." 
 
 Taking the train for Madras, seven hundred miles distant, I made my first halt at Poonah, 
 where I met our good brother, the Rev. D. O. Fox, working for the Master. I sang in the 
 Scotch Presbyterian Church to a great audience, who seemed to be in closest sympatliy with 
 my work. 
 
 From Poonah I went forward to Secunderbad, in the Decan district, where, m connection 
 with the Rev. I. E. Robinson, I held several excellently attended services, which were blessed 
 of God to the "salvation of many present. Mr. Robinson is a thoroughly active Christian, an 
 excellent singer and Sunday-school worker, as well as preacher, and, possessing the love and 
 respect of all with whom he comes in contact, is, as a conseipience, doing a great and good 
 work in his localitv. Presenting his ])eople with several hundred singing-books, I bade them 
 good-bye, even as they were voicing hvmns of praise. 
 
 Stopping at Shahabad, I sang my 'songs to a few who had gathered at the railroad depot 
 in a room without chairs or benches, and continued on my journey to Bellary, where I was 
 joined by the Rev. C. P. Hard. Here I held a service in a large government school-house, 
 which was filled with people. They were so enthusiastic that at the close several contributed 
 very liberally towards building a new Methodist chapel, an amount thus being raised nearly 
 sufficient to complete the structure. The chapel was subsequently built, and the gospel is 
 now preached there. I also gave one other service at this town, which seemed to be a kind 
 of military station or government barracks, and where we were kindly cared for by a man

 of authority among men, who reminded nie of the centurion of old. At the close of this 
 service Mr. Hard and myself took an all-night's ride by rail, and arrived at .Madras, his field 
 of labor, in the early morning. 
 
 My first appointments in Madras were in connection with Rev. James Gelling, a most 
 successful Wesleyan missionar)-, who has been stationed here for many years ; and, although 
 my first service was not largely attended, 1 never felt more thoroughly the ])resence of the 
 Holy Spirit. My second service was to the children, and some four hundred being ]jresent 
 we had a most delightful and refreshing meeting, whic h fully repaid me for the discomforts 
 of the journey hither. 
 
 Madras borders the ojien sea-coast for a distance of several miles, and is especially noted 
 as the first place where the English began tlie subjugation of India. It is a beautiful city, 
 its spacious districts being sejwrated by fine groves and gardens, while its principal objects 
 of interest are its magnificent government buiklings and the great Fort of St. George, whose 
 esplanade is protected from the sea li)' a great wall of heav\- masonry.

 I'ANDAL (native MEETING HOCSE), MADRAS. 
 
 On Salihath evening I sang in Mr. Hard's cliurch to a large congregation. At the close 
 of the service over two thousand ru])ees were contributed towards building a new chapel, 
 which has since been completed and dedicated. On Monday morning at eight o'clock I sang 
 to a fine gathering in the large Pandal, and in the afternoon before Dr. Duff's Scottish school, 
 composed of four hundred young native students of all ranks aand castes. That evening I 
 gave my farewell service before another excellent house in the large .Memorial Hall and Bible 
 Depository of the East. On coming out of the hall into the street my eyes rested upon the 
 curious procession of Mohammedans, called the Marhovrim, a company of nude men be- 
 smeared with filth and mud, who were marching to the beat of native drums. 
 
 The next morning, after two weeks of intense and interesting labor, I took the train 
 towards Bombay, making my first halt at Bangalore, where, in company with Brothers Hard 
 and Newland, I gave a service of an hour and a half in length to a very apjjreciative audi- 
 ence. We all stopped for the night with the Rev. James Shaw, the resident missionary, where 
 I dined on the only strawberries and raspberries which I saw while in India. 
 
 I was of course delighted to get back to Bombay and to my dear ones, and found that 
 an evening of song in the large parlors of the Missionary Home had been ])lanned for me, 
 but being somewhat fatigued I fear 1 did not sing with my usual freedom. The ne.\t morn- 
 ing I awoke tpiite rested and refreshed, and gave my last and farewell song-service in India 
 at the great hall, where I was greeted with a fine audience of English-sj)enking people. 
 
 At my song-sermon in the hall of the Methodist Episcopal Church the same evening 
 there was a large attendance, and at the close of the exercises many came forward for jiray- 
 ers. Being much fatigued. Brother George Bowen said to me, ''You rest, and I will pray 
 for these mourners;'' and thus I left him on his knees, jiouring out his soul to God for the 
 salvation and redemjnion of these poor sinners. Thus ended my ever-to-be-cherished song- 
 labors among the Christian and pagan people of the great Eastern Empire.

 ^i^Sb-NDIA detained us Init one night more, ;ind early tlie next day, accompanied by a few 
 ^JRI^ friends, we lioarded a vessel liearing the name of tlie great empire we were leaving; 
 4|^^i| so that, altlioiigh we left India, Jnditi went with us. 
 
 '■^'^'^ • We had for fellow-])assengers the Rev. Mr. Burton and family of Madras, and 
 
 the Rev. Mr. Clark, of Punjab, and Miss l,e Fevre, an .American lady who was re- 
 turning home from her mission work in Hurmah. The eight days' passage to Aden, 
 tlie celebrated ostrich-feather sea[)ort, was calm, and we passed the time in conversa- 
 tion and reading, and in looking upon the .\rabian Sea and its wonders. The waters 
 were so clear that we could see the reflection of our steamer, the prow looking like some 
 great alligator, or other living monster, moving along with us; and as we came nearer shore 
 we could see hundreds of jelly-fish — pretty little ])ink creatures, with their soft little umbrellas 
 spread. At night the.se waters were beautifully illuminated with [jhosjihorescent light. 
 
 On entering the Red Sea through the straits from the Gulf of Aden, we encountered 
 headwinds, which continued almost the entire passage up its long and narrow channel. In 
 si.x days mare we entered the (lulf of Suez, with Kgypt on the one hand and Arabia on the 
 
 other, and were able to discern the 
 ijj- ^y- -^^ Mount Sinai range in the distance. 
 
 As w-e were gazing for the first 
 time upon these scenes, rendered 
 so interesting because of Bible 
 history, my little son Philip crept 
 into my lap with this inquiry: 
 "Papa, why is not the water of 
 tliis sea redV I tried to explain, 
 and this led to many other ques- 
 tions in regard to Bible countries, 
 and he seemed astonished to hear 
 that scenes of Bible stories took 
 jilace upon our earth instead, gs 
 he had imagined, in some far-off 
 country, of which we had no def- 
 inite or particular knowledge. 
 Mv, , i,,i. This little incident, so character- 
 
 istic of childhood inquiry, seemed 
 to say to me. Do not we Christians and Sunday-school teachers mystif}' and darken the minds 
 of our youth by speaking of Biblical scenes and events as so hug gone by, and so /(?r away, 
 while even as we teach and e.xhort, the crucified and risen Savicr, with the marks of the 
 thorns and spears of Judea, is ever present with us? for has he not said emphatically, "Where 
 two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them " ? 
 
 Going up to Suez, a lonely place situated near the sea on the sand, we entered the 
 famous Suez Canal just before sunset, and our steamer was tied up to posts like an ox for 
 the night. It was a strange sensation that crept over us here, with a wilderness of desert 
 on each side ; for we could hear no sound of living or animate thing except that produced 
 by ourselves and companions; even the noise of the sea would have been music to our ears 
 in this solitude of solitudes. The Suez Canal, as every one knows, is a channel cut from 
 Suez to Port Said, connecting the Arabian and Red Sea with the Mediterranean, and is one 
 hundred miles in length and three hundred feet in width. No vessel is allowed to enter either 
 of its mouths after sunset or before sunrise; and all vessels sailing therein are compelled to 
 stop and tie up to posts on the banks during the night, in order to prevent accident from 
 collision. There is a telegraph station every five miles along its banks, which regulates the 
 passage of vessels as trains are regulated by the same method on railroads. At each of these 
 stations can be seen a bit of green sward, all the rest of the land through which this great 
 thoroughfare is constructed being a barren stretch of desert sand. 
 
 At six o'clock in the morning the steamer left her mooring, passing Ishmalia about three 
 hours later, where we discharged several passengers, reaching Port Said, on the Mediterranean 
 Sea, the location of the great electric light-house of the canal, at four o'clock in the after- 
 noon. On coming to anchor we were at once surrounded with litde crafts most prettily cush- 
 ioned with bright chintz, whose pilots were clamorous to take ])assengers ashore. Coolies

 swarmed the banks, some of whom took our luggage on their backs and heads to the "Hotel 
 de France," they being accustomed to bear the heaviest burdens in this manner; and of such 
 strength and muscle were they that we did not so much wonder after all that the pyramids 
 reared their massive forms in this land. 
 
 It is always a relief to get on land after a long sea voyage, even if it be the miserable 
 land of the Arabs. \Ve remained at Port Said for two days waiting for a steamer, during 
 which time it rained incessantly. On Saturday, wet and dripping, we l)oarded from a little 
 boat the steamer Aurora, bouncl for Jop[)a and the Holy Land. After we were on board the 
 vessel, the storm continued with such violence that we did not move out of the harlxjr until 
 Monday morning, as passengers could not be landed at Joppa in such a boisterous sea. We 
 found on board the steamer several .\mericans, who were bound for Palestine ; and, although 
 they were strangers, we were glad to meet our countrymen. 'I'here was a large company of 
 pilgrims going to " Mecca," and a crowd of the most filthy and hideous-looking second-class 
 passengers we ever looked upon. There were twenty-si.\ nationalities represented on our pas-

 senger-list. Notwithstanding the storm and delay, we had a service on board the steamer 
 in which I sang, and the Rev. Mr. ("lark jirearhed a most affecting discourse from tiie words: 
 "And they crucified Him." 
 
 Anchoring off Jo|)pa on Tuesday morning, a distance of one mile from shore, we took 
 a small boat and sailed in between the huge old rocks lining the dangerous channel. Our 
 landing was effected sat'ely, but not without considerable fear on our part. Oh, what emo- 
 tions fill the soul at the first sight of Palestine as caught from the hill of Joppa, "the watch- 
 tower of joy and beauty!" At last we beheld the Christ land with our own eyes; but how 
 sad it seemed as we touched the sacred soil, to look upon the filth and squalor on every 
 side ! .\\. the wharf we were met by a dragoman, who took us through the queer, old, narrow, 
 and muddy streets, to the "Jerusalem Hotel," situated in the German quarter of the city. 
 
 .\fter visiting the house of Simon the tanner, we called at the mission and one of its 
 schools ; soon after we took horses for Jerusalem and made our first stay at Ramleh. Near 
 Joppa we w^ere greatly attracted by the large orchards of orange-trees literally loaded down 
 with luscious, seedless fruit, which at this sea.son of the year was at its prime. But as the 
 soil is not cultivated to any e.xtent, except in the immediate vicinity of the towns and cities 
 of Palestine, we gladly left these scenes behind us, and, after twelve miles ride, came to the 
 quiet old city of Ramleh. situated in a fertile valley. Having ridden with my little Phillie 
 in front, I was glad to dismount from my hard .Arabian saddle, and rest. We stopped for

 the night at a curiously constructed old Latin convent, where we were hosjiitahly entertained; 
 our stone-paved bed-rooms, opening into a large court, were lighted from the to]) instead of 
 sides. Amid the ruins of okl towers, walls, and vaults, we slept soundly on this our first 
 night in the Holy Land. 
 
 We resumed our journey in the early morning, and passing over the plains of Ksdrrclon, 
 we came into a mountainous country abounding in wooded ravines, flowers of various hues 
 adorning the way. The view became more and more interesting as we ascended the hills lead- 
 ing up to Jerusalem. Some five miles from the city we were met by our good consul. Dr. De 
 Hass, who was mounted on a fine white horse, and who escorted us thither, ])ointing out the 
 many places of interest on the way. among whi( h were the toml) of Samuel, Mount Olivet, 
 Mount Moriah, and Mount Zion. 
 
 JERUSALEM AND GETHSEMANE. 
 
 We entered the Joppa gate into the city, and took up our quarters in the Mediterranean 
 Hotel. Though thoroughly fatigued, such had been our emotions at the sight of so many 
 scenes and objects with which our Bible had made us familiar, that it was long before sleep 
 visited us. situated as we were with the window of our a])artments looking out u]Don the pool 
 of Hezekiah. We could hardly understand the next morning that we had come into the reaL 
 ization of our hopes, and were indeed beholding the sun rise in the land of the prophets. 
 
 After breakfast we took a stroll in the narrow, ill-paved streets, which were dark and 
 filthy, and crowded with a motley assemblage of people, and ])urchased some souvenirs of 
 our visit. During the forenoon we changed our quarters to the Cazenovia or Latin Convent, 
 where we found pleasant apartments, and after a call at the consul's in the afternoon with a 
 small party, we visited the Mosque of Omar, built over the ruins of King Solomon's temple, 
 and inclosing the ground where God tested the faith of Abraham to the point of offering his 
 only son for sacrifice. The mosque is a beautiful structure, and with its grounds occupies 
 nearly one-fifth the area of the city ; but its intense interest to us was because of its hallowed 
 associations. Near the golden gate we mounted the walls of the city, from which we could 
 see more iirominently that Jerusalem was situated on an elevation, with the higher peaks of

 Jiulca rising in tlie distance: but we fixed our earnest gaze down the valley of Jehoshaphat 
 to the garden of (Jethsemane. a small patch of ground covering ]ierhaps half an acre enclosed 
 by a stone wall eight or ten feet high. Some of the olive-trees here are supposed to l)e one 
 thousand years old, and some claim them to be the identical trees which grew here in the 
 time of our Savior. 
 
 The olive-tree 
 often periJetuates it- 
 self by sending up 
 shoots from the dy-

 which in time forms 
 a new tree. It may, 
 therefore, be possi- 
 ble that some of 
 these trees sprang 
 up from the very 
 ones under which 
 Jesus and his dis- 
 ciples reclined.

 Name ever dear to me, 
 
 When shall my labors have an end

 In the course of the day 
 I was introduced to the 
 Reverend Hishop Bogart, 
 who kindly invited me 
 to give one of my serv- 
 ices in Saint Paul's 
 Church. I was glad 
 to have the way^thus 
 opened to sing in the 
 city of David, him- 
 self the sweet singer 
 of Israel. I had a 
 good attendance on 
 this occasion, and at 
 its close one of tlie 
 audience, a very 
 intelligent looking 
 young German resi- 
 dent, said that my 
 singing had been the 
 means of bringing 
 him to Christ; this 
 tilled my heart with 
 rejoicing as I left the 
 edifice. 
 
 The next day 
 our party went out- 
 side the city walls, 
 leaving by the Da- 
 mascus gate, to visit 
 the quarries from 
 which the immense 
 stones used in the 
 erection of Solo- 
 mon's temple were 
 obtained. Return- 
 ing, we stopped at 
 the Church of the 
 Holy Sepulcher, cer- 
 tain parts of which 
 are common proper- 
 ty, all sects — Latin, 
 Greek, Armenian, 
 and Coptic — having 
 free access to them. 
 The principal 
 part of the building 
 is the rotunda, which 
 
 has a dome ojien at the top, like the Pantheon. Beneath the dome stands the Holy Sepul- 
 cher, a little structure like a church in miniature, encased in white stone profusely orna- 
 mented, and surmounted by a crown-shaped cu]5ola. It contains two small chambers — the 
 first called the "Chapel of the Angel," and said to be the place where the angel sat after 
 he had rolled away the stone from the door of the sepulcher. 
 The stone itself is there tool 
 
 Through this we pass and enter the Sepulcher by a very low door. It is a vault meas- 
 uring six feet by seven. The tomb — a raised couch covered with a slab of white marble —

 occupies the whole of the 
 right side. Over it hang 
 forty lamps of gold and sil- 
 ver kept constantly burn- 
 ing. 
 
 1 lingereil long here — 
 solemnized, almost awe- 
 stricken — looking at jnl- 
 grim after pilgrim in end- 
 less succession, crawling in 
 on bended knees, putting 
 lips, forehead, and cheeks 
 to the cokl marble, bathing 
 it with tears, then dragging 
 himself away backwards, 
 still in the attitude c)f devo- 
 tion, until the threshold is 
 again crossed. 
 
 It was a sad sight to 
 see this locality, hallowed 
 by the death antl presence 
 of our Saviour, under guard 
 of the Mohammedan sol- 
 diers and police to prevent 
 pilgrims of rival beliefs 
 from fighting for the first 
 opportmiity to put their 
 lips to the cold rocks and 
 stones, and even with these precautions to witness the exchange of blows and angry e])ithets. 
 Of course as we looked upon the reinited relics of the i)resence of Jesus u])on this spot, 
 being shown the stone of unction, Golgotha, and many other objects which these poor pil- 
 grims worship instead of the true and living CJod, we felt no inclination either to acce[)t or 
 reject them in a literal sense, satisfied as we were to breathe the air of Jerusalem and Judea, 
 made sacred by His presence, to gaze upon the hills over which His footsteps had fallen, 
 and to feel the same sunshine upon our faces which bathe'd Him in its glory from the in- 
 ception at Bethlehem to the transfiguration on the mount. 
 
 Thence we proceeded to the inhabited part of the old city, to the Jews' "wailing jjlace," 
 where every Friday these poor creatures assemble to bewail because of the long catalogue 
 of woes that have fallen upon Jerusalem, chanting the jirophetic words of their own Psalmist: 
 "O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple they have defiled." 
 
 Having engaged a dragoman, and completed our arrangements on Saturday for a trip to 
 the River Jordan on Monday, we tried our horses in a short excursion through Damascus 
 Gate, around the city, across the valley of Jehoshaphat, and up the Mount of Olives, where 
 we drank in the grand view over Judea. Some twenty-fi\e miles away to the east we beheld 
 
 the mountains of Moab and the 
 ~':--;_^ .1 l)ead Sea, while w^e could trace 
 
 the winding course of the Jordan 
 by the deeper green of the ver- 
 dure along its banks. Below us 
 stood the sacred city, encircled 
 with its belt of walls and its high 
 domes, minarets, and towers, 
 imposing even in their decay. 
 To the north lay the wilderness 
 of Judea, and to the south we 
 saw the hills which surround 
 Bethlehem. Here, too, we 
 looked down upon the pathways 
 that lead from Jerusalem to the 
 solitudes of Bethany, to Jericho, 
 SOLOMONS TOOLS. to Gethseuiane — paths that have

 been trodden by Him "who lived as never man lived, and spake as never man spake." Re- 
 turning to Jerusalem, we attended tlie English church on the Sal)l)ath, where Rev. Mr. Wal- 
 ton gave an excellent discourse tVoni the te.xt, "1 am the light of the world." 
 
 Leaving Jerusalem at an early hour through the Joppa gate, we rode past the tunih of 
 Rachel, to the pools of Solomon, partly excavated from the rock and partly constructed of 
 masonry. There are three of these reservoirs, |)laced one above the other on the slope, but 
 not in a direct line. They are so arranged that tlie bottom of the second is higher than the 
 surfitce of the lowest, and that of the third higher than the surface of the second. Flights 
 of steps lead down to the water. Taken altogether they are about thirteen hundred feet long 
 and two hundred and fifty feet wide, and it is said the supply of water is from a concealed 
 fountain. The gardens of .Solomon are suj)posed to be near here, which he so often fre- 
 quented, and where he wrote the bea\itiful and soul-inspiring "Proverbs." 
 
 BETHLEHEM. 
 
 Pa.«sing over the plains where David fed his sheep, where Ruth gleaned, where the shep- 
 herds were watching their flocks when thev saw the "Star in the East," onward we went to 
 Bethlehem, which lies about ten miles nearly south of Jerusalem. It ranks among the holiest 
 places of earth, and, excepting Jerusalem, contains more attraction to the Christian traveler 
 than any spot on the globe. Here we visited the Church of the Nativity, alleged to be built 
 over the spot where the Savior was born. In the interior the visitor is led to a ])lace called 
 the "Grotto of the Nativity," a semi-circular space covered with marble, adorned in the 
 center by a silver star, over which sixteen lamps are kept burning night and day. Around 
 the star is the Latin inscription: "Here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary." \\<i 
 descended into the cave by a dark flight of stone steps to the reputed manger. Finding an 
 old harmonium in a niche of the wall as we approached, I opened it and sang, "I will sing 
 for Jesus." Remembering that it was assuredly somewhere near this spot Christ was born. 
 Who could fail to utter praises, both in song and in prayer, in such a place, e.xalted above 
 all the earth as the birth-place of our Savior King?

 In the afternoon we visited one of the 
 
 wildest, most remote and silent spots in all 
 
 Palestine. Here the grim old convent of 
 
 Marsaba is located in a lonely gorge. The 
 
 assistants of our dragoman, guard, guide. 
 
 and commissary had preceded us, and as 
 
 we came in sight of its walls we saw our 
 
 tents all pitched in the valley below, with 
 
 the American flag furled in front, and on 
 
 our arrival found our dinner awaiting us. 
 
 After a night of sweet, refreshing sleej), mi 
 
 disturbed by hardly a sound from nature or 
 
 beast or bird, we were in our saddles at 
 
 smirise, and soon emerged from a wiM 
 
 mass of rock and ravine into the cheerle-, 
 
 desert or plain, occasionally catching sight 
 
 of a solitary Bedouin, with striped bhinkei 
 
 dependent from the siioulder and a mur- 
 derous looking gun in his hand. 
 
 Coming to the Dead Sea about noon 
 
 we dismounted, and a few of our party 
 
 tried a bath, coming out of the heavy wa- 
 ters refreshed, salted, undryable, and vvith 
 
 tongues agonized with bitterness. They 
 
 tested the fact that the human body will 
 
 not sink in its waters owing to its specific 
 
 gravity, composed as it is of twenty-si.K parts 
 
 salt, while ordinary sea-water is but four. 
 
 They were also fully satisfied that only the 
 
 lowest species of animal life can exist therein, and that the Dead Sea is both a jihysical and 
 
 historical wonder. 
 
 Taking our departure from this famous lycality, we passed over great alkaline beds or 
 
 deposits, until we came to the Jordan, with its muddy stream, swift current, and willowy 
 
 banks, stojjping at the point where the waters were so miraculously parted for the safe pass- 
 age of God's 
 p e o ]) 1 e , and 
 where the dove 
 descended up- 
 on the head of 
 Jesus as He was 
 baptized. Af- 
 ter washing our 
 faces in this his- 
 toric stream, 
 bottling some 
 of its water for 
 keepsakes, and 
 lunching upon 
 its banks, we 
 passed on to- 
 ward Jericho, 
 and found this 
 once renowned 
 ancient Israel- 
 itish city, a col- 
 lection of mis- 
 erable huts, 
 roofed with the 
 stalks of jilants 
 and thorn-bush- 
 es ; and close

 by a mound of ruins, among which a tower rises, reputed to be a portion of the house in 
 which Zaccheus Hved. The inhabitants are a jjoor, dirty, [jrofligatc-looking class of ]jeoi)le. 
 In the evening our jjleasant httle party assembled in one tent, and together read of the early 
 history of this i)late, ranking as it does among the most profound in the ]5ible ; for it is the 
 ivonJers which Clod wrought which awes one here! After thanking CJod for the j)rivilege of 
 seeing this land and for tlie Bible, wliich gives us its history, we sought our couches for 
 needed rest. After an early breakfast we left our tents and rejiaired to a fountain near the 
 town, said to be the ''])ool of Elisha," and drank of its jjure, sweet waters, near the source 
 of which 1 cut me a staff of thorn. Again mounting our horses, we rode along, twice cross- 
 ing the "brook Cherith," where Elisha was fed by the ravens. The gorge of the brook 
 Cherith is very magnificent. 
 
 On Monday morning, March 2olh, we turned our fiices seaward and our backs upon 
 these sacred places, making our e.\it through the Joppa gate; and when about three miles 
 away from the old city we turned our eyes once more toward " Olivet," bidding a long "good

 bye " to the locality so dear to us because once the home of Him who did so much for 
 mankind. As we stood and cast one lingering look at the old city and its walls, surrounded 
 by valleys and hills, with their many sacred associations, and reflected that we were leaving 
 this sacred place, the history of the ages past, when kings and prophets and apostles and 
 the Son of God walked the streets of this wonderful city, came crowding into my mind, and 
 I stood absorbed in deepest meditation. We arrived at Ramleh just in the evening, and 
 found the convent full of tourists. 
 
 Resuming our journey at day-break, we reached Jop|)a in time to take passage for Egypt. 
 A pleasant sail and we were at Alexandria on the 22d of March; and after going through 
 the ordeal of the customs, and being besieged by boatmen, we reached the Hotel Europe, 
 situated on a large and pleasant square, and found the city, contrary to our expectations, to 
 be very fine and s])acious. 
 
 The next morning we took the cars for Cairo, arriving in the afternoon, and taking up 
 our quarters at the Hotel d'Orento. The route thither was through a beautiful green valley 
 along the banks of the Nile ; but the mud-huts of the natives resembled those of Syria, and 
 the children who surrounded us at the stations were filthily clad, sore-eyed, and covered with 
 flies, of which thev did not make the least effort to rid themselves.

 STREET bl.l£.NE 
 
 Visiting the bazars and walking the streets, we found the Egyptians to be a very common- 
 looking, in fact homely, people, as far as the males are concerned. The faces of the women 
 being concealed, excepting their eyes, we were not able to decide upon their beauty. Nearly 
 every male, great and small, rich or poor, is clad in Turkish trousers and vest, and wears 
 upon his head the red fez or felt cap, to which depends a black tassel; and if he is not 
 afflicted with ophthalmia, or sore eyes, the fact is an exception to the general rule. In the 
 streets we observed that the mothers carried their infants astride the left shoulder. Donkeys 
 are for hire on every corner, and have been called the "omnibus of EgyiJt." The boy at- 
 tendant runs beside the animal, and assists you to embark or disembark with great convenience. 
 
 We visited among jwints of interest the mosque of alabaster marble, in which repose the 
 remains of Mahomet Ali. We were driven seven miles thither, through a lovely green val- 
 ley, over a fine road planted on either side with acacia-trees, bordering great stretches of 
 magnificent fields of white and red clover in full bloom. On the way we met great numbers 
 of camels and donkeys loaded with bales of this sweet red clover, the blossoms hanging from

 both sides of their panniers, making an exceedingly pretty sight. Little bunches of clover 
 are always to be seen in the front of vehicles, the drivers feeding their horses from it with 
 
 their hands when making a 
 halt or while waiting for 
 their passengers. 
 
 The a])proach to the 
 pyramids is truly calculated 
 to strike the beholder with 
 awe, rising as they do ter- 
 race above terrace in massive 
 limestone block against the 
 eastern heavens. With two 
 dirty Arabs to pull or lift on 
 your arms, and one to push 
 or hoist from behind, after 
 several rests we reached the 
 summit, and were more 
 than compensated for our 
 trouble by the fine view we 
 obtained from the lofty em- 
 inence. Standing here as 
 they have for thousands of 
 years, probably from these 
 same massive monuments 
 Abraham and Moses and 
 Joseph have looked out 
 over the fertile valley of 
 the ancient Nile, but pos- 
 sibly unlike us with the 
 knowledge of how these 
 great rocks were piled on 
 high, and what great ma- 
 < hinery or power had been 
 ini])ressed by the Egyptian 
 architect and builder to 
 rear them as a wonder for

 ages to come, perhaps not to crumble or fall until that time when the earth shall be con- 
 sumed with fervent heat, and the heavens rolled together like a scroll. Descending, we stood 
 before the great Sphinx with its stony, far-off gaze, which seems to pierce the veil of the In- 
 finite, and fills the soul with mingled awe and wonder. To us this wonderful creation of 
 unknown conception 
 and workmanship is a 
 symbol of the grave, 
 the unknown country 
 of the dead from which 
 "no traveler returns." 
 
 The day following 
 we went over to old 
 Cairo, the very nest of 
 paganism, where we 
 saw the howling and 
 whirling dervishes in 
 their disgusting devo- 
 tions. 
 
 The "howlers." 
 sitting in a circle, 
 would simultaneously 
 bow their faces to the 
 floor, each uttering a 
 fearful groan, then ris- 
 ing to their feet, they 
 would sway their bod- 
 ies backward and for- 
 ward, their long hair 
 sweeping over their 
 faces at each move- 
 ment, at the same time 
 uttering a most doleful 
 guttural sound which 
 gradually increased in 
 violence to a prolonged 
 /loii'l. The " whirl- 
 ers" were habited in 
 mud -colored, high 
 peaked felt hats, with 
 gored skirts, having 
 weights in the hem for 
 ballast, and in their 
 dance accomi)anied by 
 a dull sound, would 
 whirl round and round, 
 with their hands and 
 heads in one position, 
 while, by the celerity 
 of the movement, their 
 skirts would expand 
 and remain in the shape 
 of a bell. The sum to- 
 tal of the "religion" of these enthusiasts is to endeavor to propitiate divine favor by their 
 antics, and to make their "piety" so wonderfully prominent as to lead the ignorant to pay 
 them bountifully for their pretended intercessions with Deity. Superstition has its quack pud- 
 dings as well as Bartholomew's fair, and this is one of them. 
 
 On Monday morning we returned to Alexandria, where I was booked for three services 
 in connection with the noble missionary. Rev. Dr. Yule. Judge Barring, an English judgtf, 
 took much interest in these services, which were held in the large Scotch Presbyterian Church, 
 which had recently been built, and where the exercises were received with even more than 
 Usual interest.

 In tlic oldor poriions of tlie city the streets are very tlingy and narrow, but in the newer 
 part the lioiises are \ery good, the streets nicely paved, while there are large avenues studded 
 with fine coninien iai structures, which under gas-light give one a sort of reminiscence of 
 Paris. A visit to romi)ey's Pillar, Cleopatra's Needle, the Khedive's jjalace, and otlier points 
 of interest, terminated our stay in this old city, which by the hand of man and the process 
 of irrigation has been built upon the desert sands.

 fN the afternoon of April 7th we found ourselves again on board the steamer India 
 
 bound for Ital\. A\'e remained on deck for a long time as the Egy])tian shores 
 
 -p|$ receded, and until onl}- a long white line of sandy shore was visible, and alter rather 
 
 a stormy voyage anchored off Messina, on the Island of Sicily, at midnight, ha\ing 
 before sunset caught a glimi)se of Mount Etna and the island mountain ranges. 
 
 In the morning the air was fragrant with the ])erfume of orange-blossoms, helio- 
 trope, and other flowers. After purchasing a basket of strawberries, my wife and 
 myself, with Miss Le Fevre and a few others, disembarked to visit some places of 
 mterest, among whiih was a beautiful cathedral. 
 
 Leaving at noon, we sailed up through the straits of Messina, with Sicily on the one 
 side and Italy on the other, passing Mount Stromboli, whose rocky cone rises sheer out of 
 the sea, and now being in a state of eruption, was belching forth great clouds of fire and 
 smoke. 
 
 The next morning from the ([uarter-deck we caught our first view of the charming Bay 
 of Naples and its surroundings. To the left was the famed Mount Vesuvius, so different 
 from the ideal treasured up in my mind from school-day hours to the very moment my vision 
 rested upon it. On the right nestled the Island of Capri, surrounded by others of equal size

 and beauty, bathed in the beams of the rising sun, while seauard tlie resplendent waters of 
 the bay shone like burnished silver. Turning thence our eyes were filled with delight as we 
 looked on the palaces and villas of this exquisite cit}', resting on its half-amjjhitheater stone- 
 front, with its hill slopes in the back ground, rendered so famous to the world by the pen 
 of the historian and tourist, as well as by minstrel and ]joet in song and verse. My expe- 
 rience in getting my baggage through the customs was (juite humorous. My organ seemed 
 
 to be the perplexing mystery to the officials, who w^ere only convinced of its non-warlike and 
 inoffensive character by my opening it and playing a tune; after which, laughing at the ridic- 
 ulousness of the affair, they permitted us to seek our i|uarters at the Hotel Washington. 
 
 After a visit to the museum, where were gathered many Egyptian curiosities, relics from 
 Pompeii, paintings by ancient and modern masters, statuary, and bronzes, and after a call at 
 the aquarium, which proved to be very interesting, and where we witnessed the feeding of 
 a huge devil-fish, we took carnage the morning following in company with several friends, 
 and were driven to the excavations at Pompeii. It had always seemed to me that in order 
 to visit the ruins of this buried city, it would be necessary to descend below the surface of 
 the earth with torches in hand, as into a cave, and I was surprised to find a large portion 
 of it thoroughly exhumed, and s\irrounded by an inclosure,. to gain admission to which w-e

 were charged one franc each, 
 which sum also furnished us 
 with a guide. About one-half 
 of the city still remains in sej)- 
 ulcher, while the exhumed por- 
 tion consists of long rows of 
 liundreds of solidly built but 
 molless houses, bordering a 
 tangled maze of narrow streets, 
 in the intricate windings and 
 ( rossings of which without a 
 numitor it would be an easy 
 matter to become lost. 
 
 Here we looked in upon 
 temiiles, halls, baths, bake- 
 shojjs. theaters, and amphi- 
 theaters, as also at some mo- 
 saics, which were just as bright 
 as when that fearful night of 
 destruction swe])t down upon 
 poMi-Eii— sTKKi.. ,vr.., 3,ij drowned this city in a 
 
 lake of liquid mud and ashes 
 full eighteen hundred years ago. One is continually wondering amid these ruins how old 
 the cit^y could have been before it met with its terrible fate. The curiosity is heightened at 
 the sight of doorstejis, full two feet in thickness, almost worn through in the center by the 
 feet of its luckless inhabitants, as also by the deej) ruts or lines worn in the solid stone pave- 
 ments by vehicles. Gathering some flowers and maiden"s-hair fern, which were growing on 
 the ruins, we partook of our'luncheon near the entrance, and then drove to Herculaneum, 
 a part of which can only be viewed by descending beneath the surface with torches in hand; 
 for, though as suddenly entombed as Pompeii, it was swallowed up in a molten sea of scoria. 
 
 A few mornings afterwards our party drove four miles to the city's boundary, riding in 
 carriages up and beyond the cultivated side of Vesuvius to and over the black, gnarled old 
 lava-flow — an inky ocean tumbled into a thousand fantastic shapes. Reaching the Hermitage, 
 some eighteen hundred feet above the level of the sea, we there left our conveyance. From 
 this point the journey to the summit is conducted on foot, and any number of guides with 
 climbing-stock in hand are ready to assist you. Myself and wife, not desiring to go higher, 
 walked leisurely on until we reached the base of the principal cone, and here had a fine 
 opportunity of studying the panoramic natural jjicture presented to our view. At our feet 
 upon one side lay the clear blue sea, with its charming island clusters; on the other, or land 
 side, a carpet of living green verdure stretched far away into the distance, while at our front 
 the old city of Naples nestled 
 quietly and peacefully at the 
 foot of the headlands of its 
 beautiful bay. Others of our 
 party, however, including my 
 son James, reached the sides 
 of the crater, and looked 
 dow-n into the seething, sul- 
 phurous cauldron; but their 
 view outward from these vol- 
 canic heights was much cur- 
 tailed by mingled cloud and 
 smoke, which enveloped the 
 summit as with a thick man- 
 tle. .According to jirevious 
 arrangement we left Naples 
 on the following Friday for 
 Rome, the Eternal City, 
 where we were kindly met at 
 the depot by our old friend.

 took up our quarters at the Hotel d'Europe. By jirevious appointment, I gave two services 
 in our Methodist Episcopal Church, Dr. Vernon's Italian mission exclusively, as also two in 
 the American Union Church. On these occasions I sang my songs in my native tongue, 
 -which were faithfully translated to the audience by the Rev. Dr. Leuna; and thus they re- 
 ceived the gospel of song through the instrumentality of a converted Italian priest of much 
 more than ordinary ability. 
 
 On Sunday we attended the .American chapel, and listened to a good sermon by Rev. 
 Mr. Langley from the words, "And they were all with one accord in one place." The re- 
 mainder of the day we spent with Dr. Vernon and his wife, talking of his mission work, in

 which we felt a lively interest. He had just completed a neat little Methodist Episcopal 
 church, which was situated in a pleasant locality in the very center of the city. In the serv- 
 ices at this place his amiable wife led the singing in Italian, having thoroughly mastered the 
 language in their four years' residence at Rome. 
 
 In our rambles about the city we visited St. Paul's Church, a modern built edifice, most 
 elegantly constructed; its delicately stained windows producing a rich and softening effect 
 upon its interior, where we were shown some fine malachite altars and twelve pillars, which 
 are said to have been brought from Solomon's temple. Thence we repaired to the Pantheon, 
 entering it on a level from the ground, though recent excavations have brought to light the 
 fact that its portico, the bronze on whose jMllars has been taken to cover the high altar at St. 
 Peter's, was once reached by a colossal flight of broad steps. Here among many other objects 
 
KOMI:. 
 
 of interest we looked upon the tomb of Ra|ihael. with his last "sketch ' inscribed above it 
 upon a tablet. After a short visit to the old Roman j-'onnn. we rejiaired to the ruins of the 
 palace of the ("jEsars, and uantkred wonderinj^l)- amon^ its old vine-covered walls and decay- 
 inj;, crumbling arches and apartments. A short distance further on we came upon the ruins 
 of the mighty Coliseum, so symbolic of the ])o\ver and grandeur of the ancient Roman Km- 
 l>ire, and jjicking our way downward into its magnificent amphiteater, could hear nothing to 
 break the awful silence excejit the twittering of a few birds that circled above our heads; and 
 this all that remained of the vast temple where once the i)roud shouts of thousands on thou- 
 sands, assembleil Id witness the most terrible scenes of barbarity, which in those days rang out 
 
 and were echoed and reech- 
 oed by its massive walls. 
 
 On Monday, with Dr. 
 Vernon as our chaperon, we 
 visited St. Peter's, the largest 
 church in the world, kwking 
 with especial curiosity ujjon 
 its magnificent altars and its 
 rich pictures in mosaic, the 
 pieces in some of these be- 
 ing so diminutive as to be 
 hardly discernible with the 
 naked eye. Here we saw 
 the reputed tomb and the 
 chair of St. Peter, whose 
 disciple hfe has such pecu- 
 liar interest to the Christian 
 believer as delineated in the 
 sacred page. From thence 
 we proceeded to the Vati- 
 can hall of statuary, where 
 we were greatly interested 
 in the representation in mar- 
 ble of the "Dying Gladia- 
 tor," with Raphael's paint- 
 ings of the "Madonna," 
 the "Transfiguration," and 
 Jerome's "Last Commun- 
 ion." 
 
 From Rome we de- 
 
 ])arted for Florence, the city 
 
 of art. where we put up at 
 
 Hotel de Paix, situated on 
 
 the banks of the Arno, the 
 
 falling waters from a great 
 
 dam just opposite reminding 
 
 me of one other night in 
 
 which I tried in \ain to 
 
 sleep in the vicinity of the great cataract of the Niagara. I gave three services here, two 
 
 of which were in connection with the church of Rev. Dr. Kittredge, and one with the Scotch 
 
 Presbyterian Church, all being most cordially received. 
 
 Our route to Florence was through a most highly cultivated country, its broad and fertile 
 fields being as choicely kept as a flower-garden. Those accustomed only to seeing our farms 
 in America can have but a faint idea from the description of any pen of its transceiident 
 natural and agricultural beauty. While in Florence we paid a visit to the famous church. Santa 
 Maria Novello, the pride of the great artist, architect, and builder, Michael Angelo, and which 
 he called "his bride." From here we went to the National Museum, where among the thou- 
 sands of rich and rare curiosities, we noticed a great collection of ancient weapons and armor, 
 furniture manufactured in the vear 1600, majolicas from the famed manufactories of Urbino and 
 Grabbio, as also "The Ma.sk of a Satyr,'! the first work of Michael .•\ngelo, when but fifteen 
 years of age. During our stay in Florence we also visited the celebrated Uiifizi galleries.

 containing without doiiht the richest and most celebrated collection of paintings and statutary 
 in either hemisphere, among which are the "Venus de iMedici" and other works of Raphael, 
 besides thirty-seven original drawmgs by this great master, and twenty-one by Michael Angelo. 
 In this attractive gallery we wandered for hours, feasting our eyes on the sublime achieve- 
 ments of the pencil, brush, and chisel, and amid a perfect mine of bronzes and engraved 
 jirecious stones and gems, feeling our inability to fix upon the memory even a tithe of the 
 rare and beautiful objects which met our vision. 
 
 OF ST. PETER S AT ROME. 
 
 Our last afternoon in this entrancing city was spent in visiting the church of Santa Croce, 
 in which are the tombs of Dante, Galileo, and Michael Angefo; San Lorenzo, where the 
 Medici are entombed in the wonderful sacristy erected by Michael Angelo, and within whose 
 walls are the famous statues of Pay and Night; ending by a call on an Italian Methodist 
 minister, who wedded a wife in Delaware, Ohio, and in whose company we visited a cem- 
 etery adjacent or near his residence, where we looked upon the silent mounds that cover the 
 remains of Mrs. E. B. Browning, Hiram Powers, and Theodore Parker. 
 
 Climbing the Apennines by rail, we passed through the gloomv cavern of the Mont Cenis 
 tunnel, to find ourselves in the charming city of Tiirin, the capital of Piedmont, which is 
 situated on the left bank of the River Po in full view of Monte Rosa and the Aljis. Here 
 we spent the Sabbath, and on the following evening I gave a song-service, in connection with 
 one of Dr. Vernon's ministers, to a fine audience. 
 
 'i'aking the train we passed on to (lenoa, the tall < itv of marble, and whi( h 1 i all the 
 
MiL.i: 
 
 "step-stone" city of all Europe, it being one of the (liief ])orts of Italy. 'I'he ground on 
 wiiich ClenoiX it built is rolling and uneven ; a noble succession of large and ancient-looking 
 white marble jjalaces are situated upon its three principal streets, and beautiful villas and gar- 
 dens cover the hills in its background, jjresenting an inspiring sight from the sea. 
 
 During my stay in (Jenoa 1 visited its famous i emetery, about two miles from the city, 
 which, with its carved cloisters and sculptured tombs, embraces an area of nearly four acres. 
 
 LITV OF .MILAN, ITALY. 
 
 .\s I passed its gates it seemed to me that I was entering a hall of exquisite statuary rather 
 than a silent city of the dead. On every hand finely executed human forms in stone rose 
 before me, on jiedestal after pedestal, to mark the resting-place of the silent sleepers. In the 
 <-enter was a circular plot, or area, in which the poorer people were interred. I also visited 
 the celebrated cathedral of .San Lorenzo, which both in exterior and interior is one of the 
 most gorgeous buildings in the world, its chapel of St. John being literally decked with gold 
 and precious stones. 
 
 ArrivinL' in the citv of Milan, we visited the Domo Cathedral. This is considered the 
 
J'AKJS. 
 
 second largest structure of its character in Europe, and the greatest work of Michael Angelu. 
 It is built entirely of white marble, and is of the richest and most massive architecture. 
 From its roof rises into the air a forest of domes or spires to the number of one hundred and 
 thirty-five; its facades and eaves are decorated with nineteen hundred and twenty-three, and 
 its interior with six hundred and seventy-nine marble statues. The massiveness of this great 
 building without is fully ecjualed by the richness of its ornamentation and decoration within, 
 the Virgin's Chajjel being most beautifully constructed and adorned, while its stained windows 
 are said to surpass ail similar workmanship on either continent.

 rUR visit to Paris was an occasion of great gratification and delight; an indescribable 
 
 sensation of pleasure pervaded our minds on finding ourselves in the very cradle 
 
 of courtesy, gentility and politeness ; the palace city of the genius of artifice, taste, 
 
 ,,j_, and fashion; the Mecca of the painter, novelist, and sculptor; the great caravansary 
 
 bM' of the amusement-loving, pleasure-seeking, and fashionable world. Paris as a city is 
 
 jf the crowning glory of the earth; it is beauty, brilliancy, grandeur, and splendor all 
 
 harmoniously combined, in adoration of which the whole civilized world may be truly 
 
 ' said to bend the knee. In order to see Paris thoroughly it is necessary to take a 
 
 twelve-mile sail up and down the waters of the River Seine, spanned with its twenty-seven 
 
 bridges of stone, iron, and wire, many of which are of the most elaborate construction and 
 
 architecture, and ornamented with a richness to which no jien can do justice in descri])tion. 
 
 From these bridges can be seen nearly the entire river front, with its massive granite quays.

 a large part ol' iho inosl interesting portion of the city, long, richly-sli.Tdtd lioulevards and 
 extensive gardens, with ])alaces and world-famed structures beside and in the midst of them, 
 ])resenting a sjiectacle of melrD])olitan beauty and attractiveness not to be found in any other 
 city in either hemisiihere. 
 
 The thousands and thousands upon i)leasure lient, to be seen during jjleasant afternoons 
 on the famous boulevards, the Champs Klysees, and the Gardens of the 'I'uilleries, riding in 
 gay equipages, mounted on beautiful steeds, or on the promenade, was a novel experience 
 to our eyes, only to be excelled in splendor and ])ageantry by Paris at night, blazing in a 
 jierfect sea of illumination from myriad gas-jets, dependent from curbs to facade, hanging over 
 river, garden, and grove like wizard fires, flooding palaces and stately edifices in licpiid light, 
 and crowning and encircling l(ifi\ monuments of granite, niarhle, and bronze with wreaths 
 of translucent flame. 
 
 Studded with dazzling lights and lamps as thickly as skies of Bethlehem plain with stars, 
 gay, careless, giddy Paris at night on mirtli, fashion, and revelry bent, yet ga\e us a sweet 
 and peaieful and restful thought of the great city of our (Jotl in which it is written, "There 
 shall be no night." 
 
 Among other places of historic and national interest we visited the Tuilleries and Louvre, 
 which aflford to the beholder the finest architectural view on earth. The palaces and build-

 ings inclose the Place du Carrousal, in whose grounds is located the celebrated .^rc de 
 Trium])he du Carrousal, a monument erected b\- the First Na]5oleon, commemorative of the 
 celebrated battle of the First Empire. 
 
 The renowned Cathedral of Notre Dame next claimed our attention, which, though so 
 often rudely attacked and injured by armies in change of dj'nasty, and so often sacked, rifled, 
 and disfigured by the mobs of many a revolution, — so often the scene of royal triumph and 
 coronation and kingly humiliation and dethronement, — still stands forth grand, inspiring, and 
 'beautiful, the peer of all the Cothic monuments of France, if not of the world. 
 
 Thence we took our way to the Hotel des Invalides, whose l)uildings and grounds oc- 
 cupy sixteen charming acres, and which is the noble asylum for the disabled and invalid 
 veterans of the I-rench army. Here directly beneath a massive church dome the great warrior 
 of France and the world. Napoleon I., sleeps the last sleep of earth. At the head of the 
 sarcophagus is his life-like statue in marble; near by is his victorious sword; and here hang 
 the standards taken by his victorious armies in the great battles which made the whole civ- 
 ilized world tremble. 
 
 Next in order was our visit to the Bourse, the great money and stock exchange, which 
 structure is pronounced the finest specimen of classical architecture in the city, the main or 
 central building being surrounded with a colonnade of sixty-six massive Corinthian pillars, 
 standing boldly out like a grim patrol of granite sentinels. 
 
 Thence we proceeded to the famed jjalace at Versailles, that historic and stupendous pile

 of palaces, so renowned as the home retreat of the French kings and emperors and their royal 
 families in the golden epoch of her monarchy until the nation at last emerged from the storm 
 of succession of rival kingly factions, and threw off the clutch of ambitious rulers, and en- 
 tered upon the full realization of its dreams and hopes of a century — a re])ublican form of 
 government. 
 
 The Palais Royal, the Cemetery, the Morgue, and the National I.ilirary— the latter the 
 largest in the world — also claimed a large portion of our time and attention, after which we 
 passed several delicious and long-to-be-remebered hours on the Champs Ely sees, or Elysian 
 Fields, the finest promenade in France, and a most enjoyable day in the Bois de Boulogne, 
 whose park embraces an area of two thousand five hundred acres. 
 
 We did not turn our faces from Paris, and pass out from the soft and soothing sunshine 
 of France without throwing many backward glances upon its magnificence metropolis, richness 
 of landscape, and grape-crowned vineyards, — glances in which the artist memory etched, in 
 ineffaceable tracery upon the tablets of our mind, remembrances not to be obliterated until the 
 golden cord shall be loosened and the pitcher lies broken at the fountain of our earthly ex- 
 istence. 
 
 jut U lULEKlES. 
 
 In a few hours, accompanied by our dear friends the Rev. Dr. L. M. Vernon and the 
 Rev. Dr. C. S. Robinson, we pressed our feet upon the soil of the first-born republic of the 
 Old World, Switzerland, so famed in both ancient and modern times in history, in song, and 
 in story. 
 
 .\rriving at Chamounix, we secured guides and mules and departed on an Alpine trip, 
 taking our way to Martigny. The snowy peaks of the Alps, the famed Mont Blanc, the ice- 
 fed Rhone, the glaciers, the ravines, the canons and cantons, the torrents, the hospices, the 
 chalets, the precijjice walled villages have all been too often described to warrant our entering 
 upon any thing of a minute description of our journey, more replete with novel sights and 
 exijeriences than our wildest imagination had pictured as in the range of possibility. 
 
 Ours was an odd-looking procession. My little son Phillie occupying my saddle in co- 
 partnership, James clinging to the waist of our good friend Dr. Vernon (who, being over six 
 feet in height, in order to keep his feet from the ground, was forced to keep his legs bent 
 akimbo), while Dr. Robinson and my dear wife presented quite as laughable an appearance as 
 they guided their ungainly steeds, not without fear of possible accidents and mishaps along the 
 narrow roadways, bordering on deep chasms or fenced in with beetling and abrupt cliffs. 
 
 At Martigny we visited the ruins of the Castle of La Bathia on the summit of a precip- 
 itous rock, the ])riory of St. Bernard, and other points of interest; and at our evening meal

 partook of the celebrated Martigny honey, which is considered the best in Switzerland. Thence 
 we journeyed on to (Jeneva, one of the oldest fortified cities of Europe, beautifully situated 
 on Lake Geneva, through which flows the River Rhone, and which has played a very im- 
 portant and stirring part in the history of the mother hemisphere. Here we visited many 
 ancient churches and military buildings, imiversities, etc., and enjoyed the great beauty of 
 the fine promenades, from which we could command extensive views of the Jura, the Vouache, 
 Mont Sion, the .\lps of Savoy, the Grand and Petit Saleve the Voirons, and the hills of 
 Coligny and Boissy, overhanging the lake which is situated between the Alps and the Jura, 
 and which is a trifle over eighteen leagues in length and about three leagues and a quarter in 
 breadth. 
 
 From Geneva we journeyed on to Freiburg, mostly built on the sunniiit of a toppling 
 precipice, the principal depository of the celebrated Gruyeres cheese. The place has an old 
 castle and a handsome church, in which is said to be the largest organ in the world, built 
 by the famous Moser, of Freiburg, and which was played for our benefit by a master hand. 
 Thence we proceeded to the quaint old fortified city of Berne, the Swiss seat of government, 
 whose principal streets are watered by a canal of running water, which supplies numerous 
 fountains surrounded with figures of sacred or heroic personages, among which is one of 
 Moses smiting the rock with his staff; another of a Switzer woman grasping a plump of 
 spears; and another of Saturn, represented as an ogre devouring little children; while in their 
 vicinity is an old tower called the Goliaththorn. whicli is surmounted with a figure represent- 
 ing little David and his sling. Berne was founded as far back as 11 91. It is inclosed with 
 ramparts, walls, and tombs, in one of the latter of which a den of large bears is constantlv 
 maintained. The bear is the emblem of Berne, and the city is said to have derived its name 
 from the great frequency of this animal in its environs. The city is also famous for its towers, 
 among the most conspicuous being the Cage Tower, or Tour des Prisons, and the Clock Tower, 
 which contains a clock of curious mechanism, a procession of armed bears and small figures 
 announcing the striking of the hours, after which a steel-clad warrior in full armor strikes the 
 hours upon a htige bell with a heavy club tipped with metal. The cathedral is another point 
 of interest, whose building was commenced in 1421, and which was completed in 1502. Over 
 its gate is a curious piece of sculpture representing the last judgment, and within its walls 
 are many vestments and relics of antiquity, and two conspicuous monuments of the founder 
 of the city, and one of its earliest chief magistrates. In the public library are thirty thou- 
 sand volumes, and one thousand five hundred manuscripts relating to Swiss history. Here 
 also is to be seen the stuffed skin of the dog Barry, long a faithful agent of the monks of 
 the great St. Bernard, in whose service he saved the lives of no less than fifteen persons, 
 while in the arsenal near by is a figure of William Tell, the Swiss Washington, in the act of 
 shooting the apple from the head of his son. From the Terrosse, a handsome promenade 
 adjoining the cathedral, shaded with beautiful alleys of walnut-trees, and elevated over one 
 hundred feet above the River Aar, we obtained a magnificent view of the Bernese Alps and 
 its glaciers. 
 
 From Berne we departed for Interlaken (signifying between the lakes), and in the journey 
 had a pleasurable sail on a little steamer over Lake Thun. By way of Brienz and its beau- 
 tiful lake, thence to Alpnach-Gustad by diligence, and thence by steamer on Lake Lucerne, 
 we pass through a wilderness of wild and romantic scenery to the city of Lucerne. With 
 a passing glance at the Black Forest and the Jura, we reach Basle, and leave Switzerland by 
 one of its principal mountain and lake-locked entrances for Heidelberg. 
 
 The Castle of Heidelberg is a combined fortress and palace, showing the styles of arch- 
 itecture of many centuries, and presents to view the most magnificent and imposing ruin in 
 the world. It stands on a high hill overlooking the town and the River Neckar ; and, though 
 bombarded, sacked, and mutilated by many a hostile army, and riddled by the lightning bolts 
 of heaven, it yet is rich in its magnificence of ruin, and that which speaks of its past beauty, 
 strength, and grandeur. 
 
 After a short delay at Frankfort, renowned for Ijeing the wealthiest city on the globe, 
 and also for being the birthplace of the great German banker, Rothschild, we proceeded to 
 sail down the Rhine, bristling with impregnable fortifications, to Baden-Baden, so famous for 
 its baths, gambling, and gayety, and thence passed on to Cologne, and visited its famous 
 cathedral and the Church of St. Ursula, with its curious catacombs of nearly three thousand 
 skulls and bones of saints and virgins, and other interesting sights. 
 
 Our train whirled over the great drawbridge and through the huge fortifications into a 
 long and treeless prairie; through the coal and iron-laden hills of Liege, with its wealth of 
 furnaces and manufactories: onward to .\ix-la-Chapelle, so famous as the birth and burial place 
 
1.1:1 rsii 
 
 of the great Emperor Charlemagne; past the renowned waterMig-phi. e of S|m. and the level 
 garden land of Belgium, one hundred and forty miles to Brussels. 
 
 This brilliant, splendid, and sparkling city, with its wide streets, fme [lavements, charming 
 houlevards, ])romenades, fountains, and s(|uares. is rightly called the miniature Paris. At 
 Brussels is located the French House of Parliament and many public edifices and famous 
 palaces of rich historical interest in the record of this portion of the former kingdom and 
 empire, but ])resent republic. 
 
 It is situated on the River .Seine, some fill)' miles from the sea, is beautifully shaded 
 with linden-trees, has seventy bridges ui)on which is lavished the purest architectural adorn- 
 ment, and is a veritable bee-hive of industry, its principal business being the manufacture of 
 carpets, laces, hosiery, linen, and many other articles in which the French people are so pre- 
 eminently skillful. 
 
 I'rom Italy I went forward to Vienna, the capital of Austria, with a population of over 
 one million one hundred thousand, and many jilaces of interest to amuse the traveler. During 
 my stay at the Hotel Imperial, which was once the palace of the Duke of Wurtemburg, I 
 
 went out to view the Prater, 
 
 ,^ M^^^^fii -_ — ,t ^= or Hyde Park of the city, 
 
 -'"--•'- '- ' containing four English s(|uare 
 
 miles, and beautifully studded 
 J ' with lime and chestnut-trees,

 T national Exhibition of 1873. 
 
 as also the Stadtpark, or Im- 
 [jerial (larden, besides visiting 
 the Cathedral of St. Stephens, 
 the churches of St. Augustine 
 and the Capuchine, with their 
 celebrated tombs in which so 
 many royal dead are sepul- 
 chered. 
 
 My next stop was at the 
 quaint old city of Prague, 
 where my service had already 
 been arranged by that most 
 energetic missionary brother. 
 Re\'. Andrew Moody, who 
 kindly met me at the railway 
 station, and escorted me to 
 my delightful lodgings. Here 
 "'""'""'"■ I received a most hearty wel- 
 
 come from a fine audience, 
 who manifested much enthusiasm over my service, and I was sorry that my visit had to be 
 curtailed because of previous arrangements. 
 
 The population of this ancient city is about two hundred thousand, of whom full two- 
 thirds are Jews. It was the seat of learning in the Austrian Empire until the foundation of 
 the Universities at Heidelberg, Leipsic, and Cracow. From Prague I proceeded to Dresden, 
 the tourist's paradise. 
 
 At Dresden I spent several days, including the Sabbath. This is a most delightful city, 
 and is inuch admired by both English and American tourists, who are consequently to be 
 found assembled here in large numbers, ])eing especially delighted with its cheap living, ex- 
 cellent music, and rare works of art. Here the eye is delighted with beautiful paintings, 
 sculpture, and rare china and other wares, and the ear is entranced by the grand music of the 
 brass bands in their open-air concerts. I gave my first service of song on the evening of my 
 arrival to a large audience, composed mostly of English and American visitors, who seemed 
 much pleased with the songs of homeland; and a song-sermon the Sabbath evening following 
 in Rev. Mr. Fogo's church, in which the spirit of the Master was truly manifest, and from 
 which the audience seemed to depart reluctantly. 
 
 My next visit was to Leipsic, the publishing city and musical center of the empire. Here, 
 also, is the great (lerman Booksellers' E.xchange, the city having over three hundred book- 
 sellers and publishers, one hundred steam and two hundred hand-presses, constantly engaged 
 in printing works in all languages, it being the great metropolis of the Cerman book-trade.

 Through the kindness of the London Sunday-school Union, I was next received at the 
 city of Berhn. the capital of the Prussian and German Empire, which has fully one million in- 
 habitants, is finely situated on the River Spree, has five hundred streets and fifty-eight squares, 
 is twelve miles in circumference, and is one of the largest and handsomest cities of the Old 
 World. Here are to be found some of the very finest hotels on the Continent, with many 
 ]jublic and private structures of great magnificence, charming zoological and botanical gar- 
 dens, and many fine equestrian and other statues in marble and bronze. The old and new 
 museums are filled with the finest paintings and bronzes, while the royal library of seven hun- 
 dred thousand volumes and fifteen manuscripts contains the Gutenberg Bible, the first book 
 printed from movable types. I also visited several other localities of much interest; and 
 while passing the Royal Palace caught a glimpse of Emperor William sitting at one of the 
 windows. 
 
 From Berlin I journeyed on to the beautiful city of Hamburg, which, in my estimation, 
 outside of Paris, is the handsomest city in Europe. 
 
 HAMBURG. 
 
 Hamburg with its environs has a population of 300,000 souls, and is situtaed on the north 
 bank of the river Elbe, and about seventy miles from its mouth. A magnificent view of the 
 city and its suburbs was obtained by me from the tower of St. Michael's Church, which rises 
 four hundred and fifty-six feet into the air. The botanical and zoological gardens, which are 
 very extensive, claimed much of my attention. This city being the chief commercial port of 
 the transit trade of Germany, of course it bustled with business; and a glance at its mer- 
 chants assembled in their spacious exchange gave me a thought of the busy throngs in my 
 own home city of New York. 
 
 The next stage of our journey brought me to Amsterdam in old Holland; and in no sec- 
 tion of Europe did I find myself better known, or was I welcomed with such heartiness as by 
 the good old Knickerbocker Dutch. Here Pasteur Adania von Scheltama for a number of 
 years had been engaged in translating sermons and songs into the Holland Dutch, and had 
 completed my entire Song Ministry in that language. 
 
 There are nearly 300,000 inhabitants in this famous old city, which is fully nine miles 
 
 in circumference. Its foundations are reared upon spiles driven into the shifting sands upon 
 
 land snatched from the embrace of the sea, the city proper being ribboned with a perfect 
 
 network of canals which are crossed bv more than three hundred bridges. Here I gave 
 
 8 
 
•30 
 
 DKXAf.tKK ,IX/> Stl'EDEA'. 
 
 fifty consecutive services in the same b\ii!ding with an average audience of eight hundred 
 people. 
 
 From Amsterdam I proceeded in company with Pasteur von Scheltama, to The Hague, 
 or capital of Holland, where we were kindly entertained by a good baron, a grand type of 
 Dutch nobility ami hospitality. The Hague, having nearly 100,000 population, is the resi- 
 dence of the Court and the seat of government ; it is fourteen miles from Rotterdam and 
 five from the sea. Bronze statues of William, Prince of Orange, and \Villiam, King of the 
 Netherlands, adorn the grounds of the Parliament House and the Museum, in which latter is 
 a fine collection of iiaintings by the old Dutch masters, including Rembrandt's "Anatomical 
 Lesson" and \'andyck's j)ortrait of ".Simon the Painter." 
 
 This city had further interest to me from the fact of its being the birthplace of Huygens, 
 the inventor of the pendulum clock, now in use in every jjortion of the habitable globe. I 
 next visited the city of Rotterdam, the second in size and imi)ortance in Holland, situated on 
 the river Maas, which though twenty miles distant from the sea, greatly resembles at this point 
 an arm thereof. The city has a pojjulation of one hundred and thirty thousand, and is 
 threaded with canals, spanned by many liridges, and bordered with lu.vuriant shade-trees. It 
 is a port of great ccmmercial wealth and importance, the home of opulent and thriving mer- 
 chants and ship owners, the largest steamers and sail-vessels landing passengers and the prod- 
 ucts of all countries upon its massive cjuays. 
 
 GuTTtM;LKG. 
 
 My excursions from here to Denmark and Sweden were full of pleasant experiences, for 
 although I was only able to spend a few days in each country, I was in both long enough to 
 form some very happy associations, and store my mind with very pleasant memories. 
 
 On our arrival at Copenhagen, the busy Danish capital, we sought accommodation at the 
 Hotel d'Angleterre. Copenhagen is a very interesting old city, rich in fine collections of 
 statuary and other objects of interest. 
 
 The hospitality of the Danes we have never seen exceeded except, perhaps, in the San- 
 wich Islands. Crossing the borders of Sweden, Melmo was our first stop. Sea-bathing is 
 very popular here, and indeed as we looked upon the water it seemed as though the whole 
 population were enjoying its cool refreshment. 
 
 After singing at Helsinborg we traveled through some uninteresting country to Jonkop- 
 ing, where we had an audience of two thousand people in a large state church — cathedral- 
 like in its loftiness, and though loth to leave, we were compelled to pass on to Xorkoping, 
 the Manchester of Sweden, where we sang under the presidency of a chairman who did not 
 
JiXGLAA'V -LO.VDOX. 
 
 speak English. From Norkoping we proceeded to Stockholm, where we were kindly enter- 
 tained by E. F. Larsson, Esq. 
 
 The home life which we experienced during the month of our stay in Sweden impressed 
 us as much as those of any country we have ever traveled in. Richly furnished parlors, 
 with a profusion of mirrors, but minus a carpet, seemed a decided novety; also the huge 
 stoves, which much resembled some monument transported from a neighboring grave-yard; 
 the well-laden tables at which we helped ourselves, standing or sitting, as we liked ; these 
 strange things and customs, together with the kind hospitality with which we were greeted, 
 stamps the remembrance of our sojourn among the Swedes indelibly and pleasantly on our 
 memories. 
 
 Gaefle, Upsula ftlie university city of Sweden), Oreliro, and ( njttenburg, followed in quick 
 succession. From Gottenburg we sailed to the port of Hull for an extended tour through 
 the United Kingdom, first visiting the world's metropolis, Old London, where we received 
 that heartv welcome which Englishmen so well know how to give. 
 
 Ch.\ptek XVII. — Enhii.anl) — London. 
 
 '°^^W^\ HOEVER the visitor may be, and from whatever part he may hail, he can not but 
 wHli ^"^ impressed with the vastness and commerce of London. We are accustomed at 
 , , ,^^^ 9 home to look upon our own fine city of New York as a wonderful spot; but when 
 5i&p we find upon referring to statistics that London is three times as populous, it is 
 difficult to credit the fact. London contains more people than the whole of Scot- 
 land, more Scotch than Edinburgh, more Irish than Dublin, more Roman Catholics 
 than Rome itself, and more Jews than in all Palestine. Its commerce is enormous, 
 its wealth beyond calculation, its munificence princely, and its charity unparalleled. 
 Every five minutes a child is born within its boundaries, and every eight minutes a soul 
 ascends to its last account. A thousand sliips are always in its port, and two hundred and 
 fifty millions of letters pass through its post-office yearly. Among its inhabitants it numbers 
 
'.^2 
 
 HXGIA Xl>—LO.\DO.\: 
 
 one hundred and twenty thousand habitual crimiii;ii>., liy whom one-third of the crime of the 
 whole country is committed. Forty thousand coster-mongers may be numbered among its 
 tradesmen; and these jnirsue their avocations in streets which, if placed end to end, would 
 reach seven thousand miles. 
 
 But if some of these statistics throw a shadow on the picture, there are others which en- 
 circle it with light. 'I'liere is no city in the world which has one-half its charities, while its 
 religious institutions are as numerous as they are diverse. But it is not by size nor by ([uantity 
 that London must be judged, though in these particulars she is far ahead of all liie cities of the 
 earth. Other cities may in process of time become larger, but two thousand years must pass 
 over the head of a new city ere it can become encrusted with the traditions and associations by 
 which nearly every stone in London is covered. Think of London as it was before the Roman 
 sway, when a temjjle of Diana stood where now stands the Cathedral of St. Paul's, where 
 the lawless hunters, who chased their prey in the surrounding forests, offered sacrifice to the 
 
 WESTMINSTER ADl'EY (SIDE VIEW). 
 
 heathen deity; and think of it now. where for every tree that once witnessed the liounding 
 deer flying the huntsman's clutches or gamboling in sportive play, there stands a house, the 
 scene of honest labor or the home of civilized life, while the temi^le of Diana is supplanted 
 by the largest Christian church in the world; and then think of the wonderful story that 
 connects the two scenes, extending over century after century for more than two thousand 
 years. There is scarcely a street in London where some great man has not lived, or some 
 great event transpired ; and almost every spot is surrounded with associations of historic in- 
 terest which ]3erpetuate the memory of the social and political conflicts from which less favored 
 nations may learn the way to liberty and light. 
 
 Westminster .\bbey, around which so many sacred memories cluster, occupies the site of 
 Apollo's Temple. Here lie England's illustrious dead — crowned heads, jihilosophers, sages, 
 poets, artists, and warriors — whose monuments have been dimmed by the mould of ages. It 
 was here Queen Victoria's great jubilee was held to celebrate the fiftieth year of her reign. 
 The kings, queens, and rulers of nearly every country were present, and the scene was one 
 of the most imposing ever witnessed within the grand old cathedral.

 Of my efforts in London I need not speak in detail, though some of the occasions may 
 not be unworthy of record. The largest place in which I ever sang, and the largest audi- 
 ence I ever had was at the Crystal Palace, London, when some fifty thousand persons must 
 have been present. 
 
 This wonderful building deserves a great deal more than passing mention, and is one 
 of the sights which no American should fail to see before leaving England. Situated in the 
 midst of a beautiful park, and upon an elevation which renders it conspicuous for many 
 miles, it impresses the eye of the beholder as a building of great beauty, the graceful curves 
 of its nave and transepts forming an outline, of which bright-blue painted iron-work and 
 transparent glass panels form the detail. Some idea of its outside may be gleaned from our 
 illustration, which gives a view of the building as seen from the immediate fore-front. The 
 
 
 j.JIIII!l 
 
 
 CRYSTAL I'ALACE. LONDON. 
 
 inside is no less beautiful. The view, as seen by a person standing at the end of the nave, 
 is most delightful, the whole palace presenting the appearance of some vast conservatory with 
 all its attendant beauty of fountains and foliage. The nave, before the fire which consumed 
 one end of it, measured something like a thousand feet; and the scene it jiresents, with its 
 tastefully arranged beds of rare and flowering plants, and with its hanging baskets of vari- 
 egated creepers, is that of a lovely arcade of vernal beauty. 
 
 Next to that of the Crystal Palace, my largest congregation in London was that of the 
 Metropolitan Tabernacle, the world-renowned building, which is the home of the church min- 
 istered to by God's honored servant. Rev. C. H. Spurgeon. I believe he has disclaimed the 
 reverend, and allows himself to be advertised only as Mr. C. H. Spurgeon. 
 
 The Metro]:iolitan Tabernacle is a handsome building of solid and massive appearance. 
 It is one hundred and forty-six feet in length, eighty-one feet in breadth, and sixty-two feet 
 in height. There are actual sittings for five thousand five hundred people, but six thousand 
 can easily be accommodated without much crowding. It ).^ almost needless to say that this 
 building is crowded every Sunday with an enthusiastic and working people, or to add that

 the enthusiasm and the work are part of a contagion which spreads with the warmth and 
 rai)idity of fire from the ])latform to the pew. 
 
 \\'hile in London I also liad the pleasure of stantling in the jiulpit of City Road C"iia])el, 
 and from the same ])lace where the immortal John Wesley swayed the multitude by his elo- 
 quence I sang of thai wonderful Savior he had extolled }ears before. 
 
 C. H. SI'L-RGFON S TABERNACLE, LONDON. 
 
 My farewell service in the world's metropolis was given at the City Temple with its 
 pastor, the Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker, in the chair. It was a meeting long to be remembered, 
 and one which I number among the pleasantest experiences of my life. 
 
 Among the principal places of interest we visited while here may be mentioned the 
 British Museum, one of the largest libraries in the world. It contains more than one and a 
 half million volumes. St. Paul's Cathedral, the most imposing and magnificent specimen of 
 architecture in the city, containing numerous marble statues of England's heroes. The clock 
 on the Tower goes eight days and strikes a bell which can be heard twenty miles away. The 
 Tower of London, on the banks of the Thames, should also be visited. This fortress was 
 the residence of the sovereigns of England until the time of Elizabeth. In the Jewel Tower 
 here we saw the crown jewels and regalia, valued at twenty million dollars. The houses of 
 Parliament, Bank of England, and Underground Railway are all worthy a visit. 
 
 Scarcely stopping to do more than take breath in London, I was off again, and this time 
 to the royal borough of Windsor. 
 
 Windsor abounds in interest, both on account of historic associations and natural beauty. 
 It is situated on the banks of the Thames, in the county of Berkshire. The great park liere 
 comprises ten thousand acres, and is well stocked with deer. Besides this there is Windsor 
 Forest, which is fifty-si.\ miles in circumference. 
 
 The castle (of which we give a river view) was erected by William the Conqueror in 
 the eleventh century, and has been beautified and extended by almost all of the illustrious 
 tenants who have, from time to time, inhabited its ancient halls. It covers twelve acres of 
 ground; and as it has been the principal residence of the kings of England for nearly eight 
 hundred years, it is rich in historic associations as well as architectural beauty. As may be 
 imagined, the works of art and other treasures here are of immense value. The state apart- 
 ments, which are on exhibition at certain times, are well worthy of inspection. 
 
 St. George's Chapel, which is one of the most beautiful ecclesiastical buildings in the 
 world, covers the ashes of many illustrious dead — kings and courtiers sharing alike the quiet 
 resting-place beneath its shade.

 Across the Thames is the beautiful Eton College. Here are educated the sons of En- 
 gland's nobility, and many a name famous in history first won its honors in these college 
 halls. Mr. (Madstone, the modern Demosthenes and prime minister of England, commenced 
 his studies here. Adjacent to London and easily and (|uickly reached are numerous places 
 of interest to all travelers. A score of one-day trips can be made which bring the tourist 
 to his London hotel every evening, while the i)laces of note within the old city are almost 
 without number, one of which we must mention here, tlie burial ]>lace of the renowned Kun- 
 
 yan. The place is called 
 "Bunhill Fields.^' 
 
 Bunyan's monument con- 
 sists of a white marl)le figure 
 u[)on a high tomb, and is al- 
 most in the centre of the 
 cemetery. Dr. Watts, the au- 
 thor of so many well known 
 hymns, is also buried in this 
 jjiace. Near to the ceme- 
 tery is the house of John 
 AWsley, the founder of Meth- 
 odism. But we must hasten 
 on to the manufacturing me- 
 tropolis of England, .NLin- 
 chester, the chief consumer 
 of American and other cot- 
 tons. It has a large num- 
 ber of public buildings, in- 
 cluding magnificent public 
 halls, exchanges, infirmaries, 
 libraries, and colleges, as well 
 as a cathedral and numerous 
 churches and chapels. It is 
 surrounded on every side 
 with vast factories, and its 
 spacious streets are the scenes 
 of that continued bustle and 
 noise incident to the prose- 
 cution of great commercial undertakings. From Manchester I went to Nottingham, the cen- 
 ter of the great lace industries of England. On the outskirts of Nottingham is Sherwood 
 forest, celebrated for its connection with the bold outlaw, of whom the song says: 
 
 JOHN BCNVAN S TOMB. 
 
 "Bold Robin Hood 
 Was a forester good 
 As ever drew bow in the merry green-wood.' 
 
 Many an old legend is still extant among the local peasantry concerning this wonderful indi- 
 vidual. Next came Derby, a town in which the first English silk-mill was erected, and where 
 Spa and marble ornaments are largely manufactured. From Derby I passed to Loughbor- 
 ough, and from thence to Leicester, one of the oldest and most flourishing towns in England. 
 
 My next engagement was at Birmingham, the center of the hardware manufactures of 
 England, as well as having an extensive trade in cheap jewelry. Bristol was my next stop- 
 ping-place; and Bristol is associated in my recollection with very pleasant thoughts. It was 
 prior to my service here that I paid a visit to that monument to faith and prayer, the or- 
 phanage, erected by Mr. Muller, at Ashley Down. This institution is, perhaps, the most 
 wonderful in the world. Here are fed, clothed, and educated at the present time no less 
 than two thousand and fifty orphans, the whole of the funds for the support of which are 
 sought and obtained wholly by faith and prayer. 
 
 The next morning I started early for the South Coast, having undertaken to sing at Ryde 
 and Newport, in the Isle of Wight. As I had to wait two hours at Salisbury, when changing 
 trains, I took the opportunity to visit its cathedral, which is said to have the most beautiful 
 spire in the world, with other very attractive features. 
 
 After this I visited Carlisle, an old historic town on the borders of Scotland, and subse-

 quently the town of Hawley, in Staffordshire, and in the midst of the world's famed ]iotteries 
 of England. Torquay is a charming spot and has become one of the most popular places in 
 England for a winter residence. 
 
 On Monday, August 6th, I was due to sing at Plymouth, which is, in many respects, 
 the most important town on England's southern coast; the extent of its anchorage marking 
 it out from an early period as the chief station of the British navy. 
 
 Perhaps, however, the most remarkable feature of Plymouth is the breakwater, which is 
 certainly the greatest artificial sea-wall ever built. It is upwards of a mile in length, and 
 cost nearly eight million dollars. In width, at the top, it is forty-five feet; its depth varies 
 from fifty-si.x to eighty, and the total weight of stone deposited to form this gigantic structure 
 exceeds four millions of tons. 
 Inside this barrier is anchor- 
 age for hundreds of ships, safe 
 from the tempests of the wild 
 Atlantic. It was from here 
 that the "Mayflower" started 
 across the bounding ocean with 
 its faithful band of voluntary 
 e.xiles, who sought a free soil 
 whereon to worship God. 
 
 My next service was at 
 Devonport, which is so con- 
 tiguous to Plymouth as to 
 seem, in company with Stone- 
 house, to be but a subdivision 
 of one large and populous 
 whole. On the day following. 
 I crossed the borders of the 
 country, and passed into Som- 
 ersetshire to visit the town of 
 Frome, and to go from thence 
 to Stoke. Both of these towns 
 are tjuiet country places, com- 
 pared with some of the cities 
 I afterward had occasion to 
 visit. 
 
 My next engagement was 
 at Tunbridge Wells, at one 
 time one of the most fashion- 
 able resorts of aristocratic 
 London, a spot celebrated for 
 its mineral wells. From thence 
 I went to Brighton, at the 
 present time the most fashion- 
 able of southern watering- 
 places. At Brighton I sang 
 at the Royal Pavilion, built by 
 George the Fourth as a coun- 
 try residence. This is a splen- 
 did pile of buildings ; and the 
 dome room in which I sang is 
 frequently used for high-class 
 concerts. Here I was the 
 guest of the late Mr. Alder- 
 man Ireland, a man to whom 
 Brighton is much indebted. 
 
 From Brighton I went on to Hastings and from Hastings to Portsea and Southampton, 
 which latter place is celebrated from two widely different circumstances: First, on account 
 of its maritime importance ; and, second, on account of its having been the birthplace of 
 Isaac Watts, the "sweet singer" of England. I had the pleasure of singing in the church 
 with which he was connected, and in the vestry of which hangs a fine oil-painting of him.

 On Monday, August 12, I found myself once more in Devonshire, and this time for the 
 purpose of visiting its chief city, Exeter; and, although I had not much time to spare for sight- 
 seeing, 1 could not but spend an hour in its magnificent cathedral. 
 
 Passing from Exeter, I was soon on my way to another cathedral town, of scarcely less 
 interesting character; for, on the evening following my ai>pearance at Exeter, I was to sing 
 in the ancient city of Bath. 
 
 It is not always easy to discern a reason for the name given to a jilace one visits; Imt 
 the reason is not far to seek in Bath. The city is rich in the possession of some remarkable 
 medicinal springs, which have been used many centuries for drinking and bathing jjurposes. 
 
 At the present day Bath is one of the handsomest cities in the country : and. a])parently, 
 throughout its history has enjoyed a large share of public patronage as a fashionable watering- 
 place. Taking a last look at Bath from the railway station — from which, by the way, an excel- 
 lent view of the city may be had — I passed on to the next scene of my labors, Yeovil. This 
 is as picturesque a country town as any one could wish to see ; but, like all country towns and 
 villages of England, it is different from the outlying townships of America. There is no ap- 
 pearance of the wild, uncultivated luxuriance so familiar on the outskirts of American cities. 
 All here bears the unmistakable impress of careful husbandry and scientific farming, in which

 the utmost use seems to be made of even the smallest-t plots of ground. From Yeovil I 
 |)roceeded to Swansea, and in so doing entered the j^rincipality of Wales. It is a matter of 
 curious interest to the traveler to note the diversities of dialect, habit, and fashion, which 
 may be seen in the different quarters of this " United Kingdom." I suppo.se it would be 
 impossible to find within so small an area elsewhere races as distinct as those of England, 
 Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. The vernacular of the Welsh peo])le — which, however, is only 
 by the poorer classes in the country districts — is, though somewhat musical of sound, most 
 strange of appearance in manuscript or ])rint, the double f's, y's, and w's, which aboinid in 
 its etymology, making the words ajjpear i)e<uliar in the extreme. The aijjiearance of the old 
 market women, too, who speak this language, and who wear short skirts and high-crowned 
 hats, with enormous broad brims, like great extinguishers, is very novel to eyes accustomed 
 to "the latest fashion." 
 
 My next engagement was at Kidderminster, a manufacturing town of considerable im- 
 portance, and where the best English carjiets are made. 
 
 .Vfter visiting Stafford I went on to Chester. Chester abounds with anti(|uities, having 
 once been a Roman station. Its ancient walls are still standing, and are about two miles 
 in circumference, and form a delightful promenade. The older houses are singularly con- 
 structed. They have porticoes running along the front, affording a covered walk to pedes-

 trians. Heneaili lliese arc shops and warehouses on a level with the street. For the next 
 three clays 1 moved amidst the vast nianufactiirin); centers of England, giving my songs in all 
 these ])laces to large audiences, first going to Oldham, where the largest machine works of 
 England are situated ; passing thence to Dewsbury, an interesting spot, being one of the 
 earliest ])laces to receive Christianity in England. 
 
 1 can not attempt to take my reader over the route of all my tours in England. whi( h 
 comprise over five hundred (lifferont cities and towns 1 have visited and conducted my services, 
 nor describe all that is really grand and interesting, for my space forbids. I must, therefore, 
 content myself with a few brief notes. 
 
 Soulli .Shields, New (Jastle-upon-Tyne, Scarborough, the fashionable watering-place. Hull, 
 the busiest oQ ports and the abiding place of trade and work. Lincoln, the. city of the fa- 
 mous C'athedral, which, situated on the summit of a hill, may be seen for many miles around. 
 1 must not neglect to mention my visit to Bedford, as few towns that I have ever visited 
 afforded me greater pleasure — the scene of Eunyan's inimitable dream. I could not help 
 being intensely interested in all that could be seen in any way connected with the author of 
 the "Pilgrim's Progress;" and I can w^ell remember the thrill of pleasure I experienced when 
 standing up to commence my evening of song in " Bunyan's Meeting House." I realized 
 that it was in connection with this same church that the glorious "dreamer" ministered and 
 suffered persecution. Of course there are many spots in and around Bedford connected 
 closely with the history of Bunyan's remarkable career. The old prison consecrated by his 
 incarceration has given place to a modern and more commodious building, but the spot still 
 remains to prove that the greatest achievements may be sometimes accomplished by the humb- 
 lest means, and under circumstances of the utmost disadvantage. 
 
 From the city of the unlettered preacher I turned my steps towards the ecclesiastical and 
 university city of Cambridge. As it is interesting to stand at the source of mighty rivers, 
 
 and contemplate 
 the influences and 
 uses of the many 
 streams that flow 
 toward the sea, so 
 is it interesting to 
 stand in a city like 
 Cambridge, a no- 
 ble seat of learn- 
 ing, and think of 
 the vast influence 
 it has exercised 
 upon the world, 
 century after cen- 
 tury, for a thou- 
 sand years. While 
 here it may be 
 convenient to re- 
 fer to the sister 
 University of Ox- 
 ford. 
 
 The Univer- 
 sity of Oxford con- 
 sists of twenty col- 
 leges and five 
 halls. I must not 
 pass from Oxford 
 without referring 
 to the celebrated, 
 and. indeed, un- 
 Ijaralleled, Bod- 
 lean library. This 
 marvelous library 
 contains three 
 hundred and fifty- 
 six thousand vol- 
 
 OXFORD COLLEGE.

 umes, and twenty-five thousand manuscripts, many af them of the greatest rarity and vah;e. 
 PubHshers are compelled by law to give to this library, as well as to the library of the British 
 Museum in London, a copy of every book published in England. In addition to this, mu- 
 seums, institutions, observatories, scientific and learned societies abound in the citv, and alto- 
 gether it is a city of prodigious knowledge. 
 
 One other object of interest I must mention before I pass on, and that is the spot made 
 sacred by the blood of the saints — Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley — who were burned here in 
 the days of so-called religious intolerance. 
 
 During a subsequent visit to England, I revisited most of the old spots, and renewed 
 many friendships of which I had cherished such fond recollection, in addition to which I 
 visited at least a hundred towns I had never seen before, in connection with each of which 
 
 EARLY HOME OF THE WASHINCTONS. 
 
 some special interest seemed to exist. Most of these, however, I must pass by with the merest 
 mention. Colchester, Beccles, Bury St. Edmund's Kettering, and Duventry headed the list. 
 The county (Northampton) contains a house which should be of great interest to every 
 American, The engraving represents the former abode of Lawrence Washington, whose son 
 John emigrated to America in 1657. and became the great-grandfather of the illustrious 
 president. Over the door is the following inscription: "The Lord gave, and the Lord taketh 
 away, blessed be the name of the Lord," supposed to be an allusion to the death of a child 
 in the year the house was built. It is situated in the village of Little Brighton, Northamp- 
 tonshire, and it is a remarkable fact that in the church are the arms of the family exhibiting 
 the "stars and stripes," since embodied in the American national flag, 
 
 Northampton, the county town, next claimed my attention, now the place from which 
 hails one of the most blasphemous infidels. This town was once the home of the good Dr. 
 Doddridge, of whose house I here give an illustration. In Doddridge's time this was one 
 house, though now it is divided into several tenements. Few better illustrations could be 
 given of the good which may be effected by a good book than the striking results which at- 
 tended the publication of Doddridge's "Rise and Progress of Religion in tlie Soul." It was 
 the thoughtful perusal of this work which led to the conversion of the great Wilberforce, who 
 afterwards became the eloquent opponent of slavery, who fought out the battles of emancipa- 
 tion in the British House of Commons, and liberated every slave then living under British rule.

 DR. DODDRIDGE S HorsE, SHEEP STREET, NORTHAMI'TON. 
 
 My visit to Gloucester deserves 
 more than a passing mention, a town 
 in whiLh commenced an institution 
 wliicli has grown to such mighty 
 projjortions as should be of interest 
 to the whole Christian community. 
 I'he story of the origin of the Sun- 
 day-schools has been so often told 
 that it scarcely needs a repetition 
 here; and yet, as it is ever interest- 
 ing to trace how "great events from 
 little causes spring," it may be worth 
 while to give explanation of our il- 
 lustration. It apjjcars that Robert 
 Raikes, the editor and proprietor of 
 the Gloucester Jimnial, was once vis- 
 iting the ])Oorer parts of the town, 
 when he was struck with the pro- 
 fanity and lawlessness which there 
 prevailed among the young. Upon 
 inquiry of a woman if such things 
 always were, he was told that on 
 Sundays things were even worse. 
 His heart was touched, and he de- 
 
 termined to open a school for the gathering of children on Simday. It was in the house of 
 a Mr. King, in St. Catherine's Street, at Gloucester, that the first Sunday-school was opened 
 in the month of July, 1780, and Mrs. King was engaged as the first teacher, at a salary of 
 one shilling per day. Contrast this with the Sunday-schools of the present time, and I think 
 we can not do better than quote Dr. J. H. Vincent's remarks on the Sunday-school of to- 
 day. He says : 
 
 "It is a product of the church. 
 
 It is a part of the church. 
 
 It is the primitive method of the church. 
 
 It should be controlled and supported by the church. 
 
 It should be resjionsible to the church.

 It should cooperate with the entire part of the rhurch. 
 
 It should promote the unity of the church. 
 
 It should be the Bible-school for the church." 
 
 Cheltenham, Taunton, Barnstable, and Guildford followed Crloucester in quick succession. 
 I also visited York, where stands the old Cathedral, acknowledged by many to be the most 
 beautiful in the kmgdom. From the quiet which always seems more or less to reign in 
 cathedral towns, I passed the next morning to the noise of furnace-burning, hammer-wielding, 
 scissor-grinding Sheffield. 
 
 From the time of Chaucer, Sheffield has been celebrated for its cutlery; and now its hun- 
 dreds of factories turn out, week by week, enormous quantities of cutlery of various kinds. 
 It is here that many of the guns are cast, which are at all times ready to pour their tons 
 of missiles upon the foes of Britain, or to engage in the more peaceful, and happily the more 
 frequent, occupation of firing a royal salute. 
 
 Subsequently to this I visited many of the principal towns in Cornwall, including Pen- 
 zance, Falmouth, etc., finding among the Cornish miners responsive hearts, and sympathies 
 quite open to the acceptance of sacred song. 
 
 But I must not bid farewell to Great Britain without a few words concerning the spot 
 which is the first, and usually the last, seen by the American traveler, — I mean Liverpool, 
 the great shipiiing metropolis of Mother England. 
 
 ST. GEOK^iE s HALL. LI \' E FCLi )' iL. 
 
 Though irregularly laid out, it has many broad, straight, and handsome thoroughfares. 
 Its docks and shipping accommodations are, however, its most remarkable features. Along 
 the shores of the Mersey there is a line of docks and basins over nine miles in length, having 
 an aggregate water area of three hundred acres, and a quay space of twenty miles in extent, 
 reclaimed from the river. About twenty-fi\e hundred vessels belong to the port, and upwards 
 of fifteen thousand enter it annually, besides numerous crafts engaged in the fisheries. Im- 
 mense warehouses surround the docks to accommodate the cargoes of this commercial fleet; 
 and these, as may be supposed, are fitted with hydraulic lifts and suitable appliances for the 
 removal and storage of goods. The town abounds in churches, chapels, hospitals, and other 
 charities, and with Manchester ranks next to London in commercial importance. 
 
 St. George's Hall, which is used for large meetings and concerts, is another fine build- 
 ing. It is built in the Corinthian style, and has apartments in which the assize courts are 
 held. There is a magnificent organ in the concert room. From Liverpool we make a short 
 visit to the land o' cakes.

 I^N passing rapidly from one country to another, few things strike the traveler as more 
 Jfc curious than the short time it taives him, in these days of express locomotion, to 
 S^a, pass from one community to another of totally different national characteristics. 
 
 I su])pose there is scarcely a land in all the earth with which the feet of Scotch- 
 men are unfamiliar. Every one knows how a brave son of Scotland, Dr. Livingstone, 
 labored for the civilization of Africa; and how our American Stanley ministered to him 
 in the trackless region where he found him ; and this is no more a solitary instance 
 of Scotch devotion than an isolated case of American enterprise. Born in a country 
 calculated to develo]3 hardihood of character, the natives of Scotland have shown themselves 
 capable of great endurance, perseverance, and enterprise in almost every quarter of .the earth. 
 
 PRINCE S STREET, EDINBURGH. 
 
 In literature, law, and learning they have filled the foremost ranks; while in other branches 
 of enterprise they have attained a distinction of which their country may well be proud. 
 
 Our first stop in Scotland is in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. It is difficult to say for 
 which Edinburgh is the most famous : its historic associations, its literary annals, or its nat- 
 ural beauty. The crumbling walls of Holyrood remind us of the unhappy Mary Queen of 
 Scots, and the ])almy days of the kings of Scotland ; the castle in the center of the old town, 
 of the birth of James the First, under whose dynasty the kingdom of Scotland became united 
 with that of England, and to whom the authorized version of the English Bible was dedicated. 
 
 The beautiful memorial, peeping out from its surroundings of shrubs and flowers, reminds 
 us of the great Scotch novelist. Sir Walter Scott, whose works produced such a profound sen- 
 sation fifty years ago; while the position of the town reminds us of that passage in .Sacred 
 Scripture which speaks of a city that is set upon a hill, and which can not be hid. 
 
 John Knox lived and died here in a house which still stands; besides whom Dr. Chal- 
 
EDI.Xin KGH. 
 
 •47 
 
 mers, Dr. Livingstone, Dr. Guthrie, and many others continue to Hve in the hearts of their 
 countr)inen. 
 
 Many days might be spent in visiting the spots of interest in and adjacent to this beau- 
 tiful city, and many hours be profitably employed in reading the lessons of the lives of Edin- 
 burgh's illustrious dead and livina". 
 
 ABERDEEN. 
 
 No one should leave Edinburgh without having climbed the Castle Hill to look down 
 upon the city beneath; nor the Castle Hill without viewing it from end to end. One would 
 fain linger in thought, as well as in reality, among these scenes of beauty and romance. 
 Here my services were held in the famous Free Assembly Hall, at which Dr. H. Bonar, the 
 poet, presided. But a pilgrim who is circling the globe must not linge'r anvwhere; and when 
 he has circled he must not weary his friends with descriptions of places which must be seen 
 to be appreciated. 
 
 From Edinburgh I went to the busiest city in Scotland, Glasgow. It has a population 
 of some six hundred thousand or seven hundred thousand people, who supply the motive 
 power to its many enterprises. The city is divided by the River Clyde, which is spanned 
 by several handsome bridges. It was in this town that Watt commenced his improvements 
 on the steam engine, and it was on the Clyde that the Comet, the first steamboat, was launched 
 in 1812. Extensive trade is done here in iron shipbuilding, as well as in many other branches 
 of commercial enterprise. Thomas Campbell, the poet, was born here, as was also Sir John 
 Moore, the great soldier, and Lord Clyde, the great statesman. After visiting Glasgow I 
 gave evenings of song at a number of different jjlaces in Scotland, enjoying the wild Scotch 
 scenery as much as the hospitality of the people. 
 
 Aberdeen is a very fine citv, built of granite, and it is said of it, "The more it rains 
 the cleaner it is.'" However this may be, there can be no doubt that the material of which 
 the city is built gives it a very massive and cleanly appearance. Aberdeen is an exceedingly 
 interesting city, having its uni\'ersity and other public buildings. It is on the sea coast, and 
 
I4S IKEI.AXn. 
 
 has a fine harbor aiul a granite j)ier two thousand feet long. It has many manufactories, 
 and does a consiiierahle trade with London. 
 
 Journeying sometimes in one direction ami sometimes in another, I visited Arbroath, 
 Inverness. l)undee, Forfar, Elgin, and Paisley, from whence we have the far-famed Paisley 
 shawls. Perth, also, came in for a share of my attention, a city of many attractions; Stir- 
 ling, too, with its beautiful castle and jjicturesque scenery, besides Tain and Wick, in the 
 northernmost point of Scotland, w^here the inhabitants have hardly two hours of night, it 
 being in my memory while in this locality that 1 was able to read without lamp, candle, or 
 gas at midnight, and to have risen at two o'clock in the morning, it then being early dawn. 
 Dumfries also detained me one evening, in the church-yard of which town lie the remains 
 of Robert IJurns, the Scotch poet. 
 
 In all of these old Scotch towns and cities my services were gratifyingly received; and 
 such was the charming scenery in these grand old Highlands, and the hospitality of its people. 
 that I sincerely regretted that my stay was necessarily so short. July is the most delightful 
 of all the months for a visit to these noble northern hills, with their bracing and healthful 
 breezes, their beautiful heather, dancing cascades, and pure atmosphere, upon which even the 
 Scotch mists conspire with the rest to make the change from the lowlands sweet in present 
 enjoyment and dear to after memory. 
 
 A short journey across the channel from Glasgow to Londonderry brings the traveler upon 
 Irish soil, and into connection with a singular and interesting people. American readers may 
 think that they do not need to be introduced to the typical Irish character, as they have met 
 with many Irishmen in New York and other parts of the United States ; but I am able to 
 say that but scant justice will be done to the Irish character if it is judged by that with 
 which we are generally familiar at home. 
 
 Chapter XIX. — Ireland. 
 
 fO the admirers of the beautiful and picturesque no country in the world possesses 
 greater attractions than Ireland. From the Giant's Causeway in the north to the 
 unrivalled lakes of Killarney in the south, the "Green Isle" presents a vast par- 
 '^W\ terre, abounding with the most sublime scenery, while the sweet melodies of the 
 
 ■j^ ancient bards blend with and lend an additional charm to almost every locality. Ire- 
 * T land is indeed a country of rare and exquisite beauty, viewed under whatever aspect 
 I we may. It is surrounded by one hundred and ninety-six islands like satellites, many 
 of them of considerable size, and all of them invested with legends that impart to each a 
 peculiar and uniipie interest. It is astonishing to find so many places distinguished by monu- 
 ments of the remote past. Cromlech's caves, cairns, pillars, raths, forts, towers, sculptured 
 crosses, churches, castles, etc., all implying the existence of a race of intelligent people. Lon- 
 donderry (where we landed from Glasgow) is built upon a ridge on the river Fayle, and is 
 memorable in history as having outlived a siege in the time of James II. Macaulay gives 
 a brilliant description of this siege in his " History of England," and the tale of heroism and 
 hardship is cherished by the townsmen to this day. We Americans sometimes twit our trans- 
 atlantic neighbors on their habit of dwelling upon the past, it being rather our custom to glory 
 in the future; but after all the nation that has a history may be pardoned for dwelling upon 
 the triumphs of the past; for even we are guilty of this on the Fourth of July. 
 
 Coleraine was the next Irish town visited. The place is celebrated for the manufacture 
 of Irish whisky, but it is not on this account that I mention it, but simply because it was 
 from here that I visited that marvelous natural formation, the Giant's Causeway. 
 
 The Giant's Causeway is situated at the northern extremity of the County of Antrim, a 
 short distance from Port Rush and the ruins of Dunluce Castle. It consists of hosts of basilic 
 pillars, varying in shape from a pentagon to an octagon, and in length from ten to eighty feet, 
 the whole being so closely stacked together that it would be difficult to insert a knife-blade 
 between them. In the entire Causeway it is computed there are from thirty to forty thou- 
 sand pillars. These are strangely arranged in groups, and have received such fantastic names 
 as the Giant's Chair, his Loom, his Theater, his Bagpipes, while scattered around lie countless 
 rocks and columns seemingly flung from their original position, resembling an immense fabric 
 hurled into desolation by some terrible convulsion of nature. Visitors to the Giant's Cause- 
 way on their arrival are sure to be accosted by a host of guides, who ])roffer their services

 and at the same timo filler for sale small boxes of '■specimens."' These are very neaih 
 made, and the i)rice asked is generally about iialf a crown, but as the da)- atlvanees, and 
 sales become less frequent, the price is ])roportionally reduced. 
 
 .\fter visiting Hallymena and Carrickfergus (tiie latter town chiefly intere.sting for the 
 romance of its history and an old castle, which is still kejjt fortified), we proceeded to Bel- 
 fast, the capital city of the north. 
 
 Few towns that I have visited present a cleaner and more thrifty apjiearance than Belfast. 
 It possesses the busy a])pearance of Manchester and Glasgow- without the dirt and smoke of 
 either. Its buildings are good, and many of its streets regular and wide. 
 
 Situated within two hundred miles of both Glasgow and Manchester, and with ready 
 means of communication with both, a large trade has sprung up, of which Irish linen forms 
 the most prominent part. 
 
 On one occasion, while in Belfiist, an amusing incident occurred about which my friends 
 are very fond of joking me. I was invited to visit one of the ])ri.sons, and accepting the invita- 
 tion found that the warden had made (juite elaborate prejiarations for receiving me. Mottoes 
 of welct)nie were hung about the jirison walls: and as I entered the corridors I was greeted by 
 a sort of welcome salute from a number of the inmates to whom 1 was introduced, and in- 
 vited to make a speech. Feeling thoroughly embarrassed, but realizing that I must sav some- 
 thing. I stammered out: "Gentlemen, Fm glad to see so many of you here.' At this point 
 my wife whispered: "This is a prison, and not a Sabbath-school." Of course I realized my 
 situation, ctir.'aileJ my eloquence, and escajjed from my dilemma by singing a song. 
 
 ATLANTIC STEAMSHIl', 
 
 I also gave my entertainments at Portadown and Lurgan, and then went on to Ireland's 
 capital, Dublin. Dublin is a fine city. The Liffey, a considerable river, intersects the town, 
 and is crossed by six stone and three iron bridges, and bordered on each side by granite 
 quays two and a half miles in length. Sackville street is one of the great thoroughfares and 
 fashionable promenades of Ireland's metropolis, and is undoubtedly one of the finest streets 
 in Euro])e. The bridge and city perspective at the lower end, the noble pillar of Lord Nelson 
 in the center, and the rich and extensive facade of the general post-office at the middle of 
 its west side, combine with its remarkable spaciousness to produce a very pleasing effect. 
 The principal buildings are the castle, in which are the general offices, as also armories, ar- 
 senals, and police barracks, adjoining which are the law courts and military barracks, and the 
 college and the Bank of Ireland, which was formerly the Parliament House. There are also 
 medical schools and two cathedrals, namely, those of Christ Church and St. Patrick's, of which 
 latter cathedral Dean Swift, the author of " C;ulli\er's Travels," was dean. Dean Swift is 
 b-iried here, a simjile marble slab indicating his last resting-place. 
 
 The Phcenix Park is the Hyde Park of Dublin. It comprises an area of one thousand 
 se\en hundred and fifty acres, and is well covered with timber. The vice-regal Lodge is in 
 the jiark, where the Lord Lieutenant resides. 
 
 The scenery near Dublin is very beautiful, the Wicklow Mountains affording attractions 
 which the tourist can not ignore, and which afibrded the inspiration which Moore so beauti- 
 fully turned to account in his Irish melodies. From here we hasten to get a glimpse of the

 far-famed lakes of Killarney. Neither the jien of the historian, nor the eloquence of the 
 orator, nor the pencil of the artist, nor the hand of the engraver could render adequate justice 
 to the exceeding beauty of these lakes, so difficult is it to convey a notion of their numerous 
 and wonderful attractions. There are twenty-two of these lakes; some of them are very small, 
 but the three prijicipal are the Upper, Middle, and Sore, which are unrivalled for their bold 
 and romantic scenery. But we can not tarry here, as we are impatient to reach Queenstown, 
 where we take steamer for our own beloved land, and after a voyage of about eight days we 
 find ourselves entering New York harbor. 
 
 Any port is welcome after miles and miles of sea; and to one who is so bad a sailor as 
 myself, a sight of one's destination after days of nausea and nights of sleeplessness, is a sen- 
 sation that wellnigh compensates for the discomforts of an Atlantic passage. Upon landing we 
 were met by our dear friends and driven away to our quarters at the St. Dennis Hotel, where, 
 after a few'days' rest, we departed for our own Chautauqua, which place we left three years 
 before. Here the great Sunday-school Assembly, headed by that princely worker. Rev. j. H. 
 Vincent, D. D., was in session, and as I appeared in front of the platform, he exclaimed: 
 •'I now have the privilege of introducing and welcoming home again Philip Phillips, who has 
 just returned from his singing tour around the world. Since he left this assembly three years 
 ago he has sung five hundred and seventy four nights in the countries he has successfully 
 passed through. Let us give him a right hearty welcome 'home again,' after which he will 
 sing you a song." Thousands of hands came together as one at the close of this announce- 
 ment; and as the echoes of applause died away fhey were succeeded by the strains of music 
 of his well-known song begining — 
 
 "Come, and hear the grand old story, 
 
 Story of the ages past, 
 W\ earth's annals far surpassing. 
 
 Story that will ever labt."

P.REFACE. 
 
 If, wlien on your jiilgrim journey, 
 
 Dark mux be the path and tearful, 
 
 Dread tlie storm that rages near you 
 
 Like a Hght upon the pathway — 
 
 Like the sun behind a cloud-rift — 
 
 Music conies to soothe and gladden, 
 
 Though your heart be faint and weary, 
 
 Though your steps be weak and faltering. 
 
 Light your journey will it render 
 
 Till your sorrow turn to gladness. 
 
 Open then this unsung volume, 
 
 Prove the beauties of its song-work, 
 
 Then may you in it discover 
 
 Strength for weakness, joy for sorrow; 
 
 Rich the song that heartfelt rises 
 
 Though its melody be simple 
 
 And its harmony unskillful. 
 
 Sing your cares away as darkness 
 
 Flees before the dawn of morning, 
 
 So the clouds of trouble vanish 
 
 When the cheering song arises. 
 
 If this volume you will open 
 
 You will find in it a treasure, 
 
 Delaware, Ohio, April lo, 1S87. 
 
 Not of gay and heartless music, 
 
 But of song whose deep devotion 
 
 Thrills the heart of true believers; 
 
 Faith can breathe its sweetest whisper 
 
 Through a melody celestial; 
 
 Prayer can rise on fleetest pinions 
 
 On the wings of heavenly music ; 
 
 Peace can find its softest echo 
 
 In the notes of heartfelt singing. 
 
 Worship then the heavenly Master, 
 
 Not with heart alone and silent. 
 
 But with voice attuned and songful. 
 
 Though your song be weak and wavering, 
 
 If the heart be true and faithful 
 
 It can time the poorest singing. 
 
 Till when up to heaven it reaches 
 
 It becomes the sweetest music. 
 
 Read and ponder well this lesson. 
 
 Use the talent God has given you. 
 
 And if by the songs you find here 
 
 You are led to sweeter favor 
 
 In the eyes of the Redeemer, 
 
 Then my earnest prayer is answered. 
 
 Philip Phillips, Jr.

 Copyriijhted by Philip Phillips, 1SS7. 
 
 If I were a voice — a consoling voice, 
 
 I'd fly on the wings of the air; 
 The homes of sorrow and guilt I'd 
 
 seek. 
 And calm and truthful words I'd 
 speak 
 To save them from despair. 
 I would fly, I would fly o'er the 
 
 crowded town, 
 And drop like the happy sunlight 
 
 down 
 Into the hearts of suffering men. 
 And teach them to look up again. 
 I would fly, I would fly, &c. 
 I would fly o'er the crowded town. 
 
 voice — a convincing 
 
 If I were 
 voice, 
 
 I'd travel with the wind ; 
 And where'er 1 saw the Nations torn 
 By warfare, jealousy, spite or scorn, 
 
 Or hatred of their kind — 
 I would fly, I would fly on the 
 
 thunder cl■a'^h. 
 And into their blinde i bosoms flash, 
 Then, with their evil thoughts sub- 
 dued, 
 I'd teach them Christian brother- 
 hood. 
 I would fly, I would fly. »S:c. 
 I would fly on the thunder crash.

 If I were a voice — an immortal voice, 
 
 I would fly the earth around; 
 And wherever man to his idols 
 
 bowed, 
 I'd publish in notes, both long and 
 loud, 
 The Gospel's joyful sound. 
 I would fly, I would fly on the 
 
 winjrs of day. 
 Proclaiming peace on my world- 
 wide way, 
 Ridding the saddened earth rejoice. 
 If I were a voice — an immortal voice, 
 I would fly. I would fly, &c. 
 I would fly on the wings of day.

 Note. — During a voyage, some time <;incc. the mate of an English vessel discovered a little boy stoued away in the hold of the 
 ship. Upon inquiry, the boy declared that his ^ihcr placed him there ; but this the mate did not believe, thinking that he proba- 
 bly belonged to one of the crew. The mate. theMfnre. brought the boy nn deck, and told him that he had only two minutes to live, 
 and that if he did not tell ihe truth he should be hung ttp to the yard-arm. The boy still protested that he had spoken the truth, 
 and asked leave to spend the two minutes in prayer Leave granted, the child knelt down in the midst of a crowd of passengers and 
 offered up a simple, heart felt prayer. His supplication soon convinced all of his truthfulness, and the mate's threat was not carried out.

 way. You can lend a hand to help them, As they launch their boat a - way. 
 
 2 If you are too weak to journey 
 Up the mountain, steep and high. 
 
 You can stand within the valley. 
 While the multitudes go by: 
 
 You can chant in happy measures. 
 As they slowly pass along. 
 
 Though they may forget the singer. 
 They will not forget the song. 
 
 3 If you have not gold and silver 
 Ever ready to command, 
 
 If you can not t'wards the needy 
 Reach an ever open hand. 
 
 You can visit the afflicted, 
 
 O'er the erring you can weep ; 
 
 You can be a true disciple. 
 Sitting at the Savior's feet. 
 
 4 If you cannot in the harvest 
 Gather up the richest sheaves, 
 
 .Many a grain both ripe and golden 
 Will the careless reapers leave; 
 
 Go and glean among the briars. 
 Growing rank against the wall. 
 
 For it may be that their shadow 
 Hides the heaviest wheat of all. 
 
 5 If you can not in the conflict 
 Prove yourself a soldier true, 
 
 If, where fire and smoke are thickest. 
 There's no work for you to to, 
 
 When the battle-held is silent. 
 You can go with careful tread; 
 
 You can bear away the wounded. 
 You can cover up the dead. 
 
 6 Do not, then, stand idly waiting, 
 
 For some greater work to do; 
 Fortune is a lazy goddess. 
 
 She will never come to you. 
 Go and toil in any vineyard. 
 
 Do not fear to do or dare. 
 If you want a field of labor. 
 
 You can find it anywhere.

 2 Men of business, awake to the signs of the times ; 
 
 Be true, and to others be just; 
 Give your wealth to the Lord, for to him it belongs, 
 He lent it to you as a trust. 
 
 Chorus — Then wake, let us stand, &c. 
 
 3 Let the women awake to the signs of the times ; 
 
 God calls you — the cross nobly to bear; 
 You can light up the heart with the pages of life, 
 And triumph with God through your prayer. 
 Chorus — Then wake, let us stand, S:c. 
 
 4 Let the young men awake to the signs of the times; 
 
 God calls you because you are strong; 
 You can work in the vineyard, with ardour and zeal. 
 For him who is marching along. 
 
 Chorus — Then wake, let us stand, &c. 
 
 5 Careless sinner, awake to the signs of the times; 
 
 Give Jesus your heart while you may: 
 O be washed in his blood — he will make you his child. 
 And take your transgressions away. 
 Chorus — Then wake, let us stand. &:c.

 Thus in mer-cy, thus in mer-cy, God the sin-ner deigns to spare, When against His law re-belling, 
 Mer-cy pleading, mercy pleailing, Shines a sun-beam o'er the gloom; Love, eter-nal love enfolds him.

 Its bright jasper walls I can see! 
 Till I fancy hut thinly the vale intervenes 
 Between the fair city and mc. 
 
 3 There the great tree of life in its beauty doth grov 
 And the river of life fioweth by; 
 For no death ever enters that city, you know, 
 And nothing that maketh a lie. 
 
 \Vhere Jesus of Nazareth stands 
 The King of all kingdoms for ever is he. 
 And he holdeth our crowns in his hands. 
 
 5 Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, 
 So free from all sorrow and pain ! 
 With songs on our lips, and with harps in our hands. 
 To meet one another again.

THE MODEL CHCh'C/I. Con<lmicJ, 
 
 The sexton did not sit mc clnwn. 
 
 Away back by the door; 
 He knew that I was old and denf. 
 
 And saw that I was poor. 
 He must have been a Christian man. 
 
 He led nie boldly through 
 'l"he long isle of that crowded church, 
 
 To find a pleasant pew. 
 
 I wi-.h you'd heard the singing, wife, 
 
 It had the old-time ring; 
 The preacher said, with trumpet voice. 
 
 Let all the people sing : 
 "Old Coronation" was the tune. 
 
 The music ujiward rolled 
 'I'ill I thought I heard the angel choir 
 
 Strike all their harps of gold. 
 
 My deafness seemed to melt away, 
 My spirit caught the fire; 
 
 I joined my feeble trembling voice 
 With that mel<Kliou-> choir; 
 
 And sang, as in my youthful davs. 
 "Lot angels prostrate fall; 
 
 5 
 
 I lell you, wife, it did me good 
 
 lo sing that hymn once more; 
 I fell like some wrecked mariner 
 
 \\'ho gets a glimpse of shore. 
 I almost want to lay aside 
 
 This weather-beaten form, 
 And anchor in the blessetl port. 
 
 Lor ever from the storm. 
 
 (> 
 'Twas not a fiowery sermon, wife. 
 
 But simple gospel truth ; 
 It fitted humble men like me; 
 
 It suited hopeful youth. 
 To win immortal souls to Christ, 
 
 The earnest preacher tried; 
 He talkeil not of himself, or creed. 
 
 Hut Jesus crucified.

 Dear wife, the toil will soon be o'er, 
 
 The victory soon be won; 
 The shining land is just ahead, 
 
 Our race is nearly run. 
 We're Hearing Canaan's happy shore. 
 
 Our home is Itright and fair; 
 Thank God we'll never sin again: 
 
 There'll be no sor - row there:

 AN OLD MAN IN A STYLISH CHURCH. 
 
 (Ti'Mi— " MoiiKi. CurKcH."') 
 
 Well, wife, I've Iteen lo church to-day; 
 
 1 1 was a stylish one ; 
 And since you can not go from home, 
 
 I'll tell you what was done. 
 ^'^lu would have been surprised to see 
 
 The things I saw to-day; 
 Tne sisters oil were dressed so fine, 
 
 They h.irdly knelt to pray. 
 
 2 
 
 My clothes were coarse, an<l so they knew 
 
 At once that I was poor; 
 Thev led the old man to a seat, 
 
 Uncushioned, by the door. 
 A stranger came, a man of wealth, 
 
 In costly robes arrayed ; 
 Gold rings he wore, and room for him 
 
 Was near the altar made. 
 
 1 could not help but think it wrong 
 
 That he should sit so near: 
 For he w'as young, and I was old, 
 
 And very hard to hear. 
 Hut then I thought, in yondtr world, 
 
 So pure and free from sin, 
 How riches at the gate would beg, 
 
 While poverty goes in. 
 
 4 
 Too far to catch the preacher's vcjice, 
 
 I prayed for those about: 
 That God would make them pi re within, 
 
 As they were clean withoul. 
 'Tis true, I'm old and childish now; 
 
 IJut then I love to see 
 A Christian wear the simple gari> 
 
 Of meek humility. 
 
 Oh, why should man look down on mnn ■ 
 
 How many a noble breast 
 May wake sweet music, though it throb 
 
 Beneath a faded vest. 
 Our Saviour loved and blessed the poor; 
 
 And when to him we rise, 
 The rich and poor will share alike 
 
 His temple in the skies.

 2 The t;rass is just as green, dear Tom, bare-footed boys at play 
 Were s])orting there, as we did then, with spirits just as gay; 
 
 But the master sleeps upon the hill, which, coated o'er with snow. 
 Afforded us a sliding place, just twenty years ago. 
 
 3 The spring that bubbled 'neath the hill, close by the spreading beech, 
 Is very low, 'twas once so high that we could almost reach; 
 
 And kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom, I started so! 
 To lind that I had changed so much, since twenty years ago. 
 
 4 Down by the spring, upon an elm, you know I cut your name. 
 Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom, and you did mine the same; 
 Some heartless wretch has peeled the bark, 'twas dying sure, but slow, 
 Just as the one whose name was cut, died twenty years ago. 
 
 5 My lids have long been dry, dear Tom, but tears came to my eyes, 
 I thought of those we loved so well, those early broken ties; 
 
 I visited the old church-yard, and took some flowers to strew 
 Upon the graves of those we loved some twenty years ago. 
 
 6 SonT? are in the church-yard laid, some sleep beneath the sea. 
 But few are left of our old class, excepting you and me; 
 
 And when our time shall come, dear 'Tom, and we are called to go, 
 I hope they'll lay us where we played, just twenty years ago.

 The heavens above thee in thick clou Is arrayed. 
 And well-nigh crushed, no earthly strength imparted. 
 No friendly voice to say " Be not afraid ? " 
 
 Uod knows it all! 
 
 _3 Art thou a mourner, are thy tear-drops flowing 
 7or one so early lost to eanlh and thee — 
 The depth of grief, no human spirit knowing. 
 Which mourns in secret, like the moaning sea? 
 
 God knows it all I 
 
 4 Dost thou lookback upon a life of sinning? 
 
 Forward, and tremble for thy future lot; 
 There's One who sees the end from the beginning ; 
 The penitential tear is unforgot. 
 
 (Jod knows it all ! 
 
 5 Then go to God, put out your heart before him ; 
 
 There is no grief your Father can not feel; 
 
 And let your grateful songs of praise adore him, 
 
 To save, forgive, and every wound to heal.

 Innisfallen's ruined shrine 
 
 May suggest a passing sigh ; 
 But man's faith can ne'er decline 
 
 Such God's wonders floating by i 
 Castle Lough and (ilena bay. 
 
 Mountains Tore and Eagle's nest, 
 Still at mucross you must pray. 
 
 Though the monks are now at rest. 
 Angels wonder not that man 
 
 There would fain prolong life's span, 
 Beauty's home, Killarney, 
 
 Ever fair Killarney. 
 
 No place else can charm the eye 
 
 With such bright and varied tints: 
 Every rock that you pass by. 
 
 Verdure broiilers or besprints; 
 Virgin there the the green grass grows. 
 
 Kvery morn springs natal day, 
 Bright-hued berries dafl^ the snows, 
 
 Smiling winter's frown away. 
 Angels often pausing there, 
 
 Doubt if Eden were more fair, 
 Beauty's home. Killarney, 
 
 Ever fair Killarney. 
 25 
 
 Music there for echo dwells. 
 
 Makes each sound a harmony; 
 Many voiced the chorus swells, 
 
 Till it faints in ecstasy: 
 With the charmful tints below, 
 
 Seems the Heaven above to vie; 
 All rich colors that we know. 
 
 Tinge the cloud-wreaths in tlatskj 
 Wings of angels so might shine, 
 
 Glancing back soft light divine, 
 Beauty's home, Killarney, 
 
 Ever fair Killarney.

 What made th' assembly shine ? 
 
 Robin Adair! 
 What made the ball so fine? 
 
 Robin was there. 
 What, when the play was o'er, 
 What made my heart so sore? 
 
 Oh! it was parting with 
 
 Robin Adair. 
 
 But now thou'rt cold to me, 
 
 Robin Adair!

 Darkness be over me, 
 
 My rest a stone ; 
 Vet in my dreams I'd be 
 Nearer, my God, to Thee, 
 Nearer to Thee. 
 
 There let the way nppear 
 Steps unto heaven ; 
 
 All that Thou send'st to me. 
 In mercy given ;

 Nearer, my God, to Thee, 
 Nearer to Thee.

 Nearer to Thee.

 In every nook of this burial-ground ;

 And I said to my heart, wh^n time is told, 
 A mightier voice than that sexton's old, 
 Will sound o'er the last trump's dreadful din,

 2 Christ, the Father's Sun eternal. 
 
 Once was born a Son of Man; 
 He who never knew beginning, 
 Here on earth a life began. 
 
 3 Words of truth and deeds of kindness, 
 
 Miracles of grace and might, 
 Scatter fragrance all around him. 
 
 Shine with heaven's most glorious light 
 
 4 In (^iethsemane behold him, 
 
 In the ngony of prayer : 
 Kneeling, pleading, groaning, bleeding, 
 Soul and body prostrate there. 
 
 5 It IS finished! see his body 
 Laid alone in Joseph's tomb; 
 
 'Tis for us he lieth yonder. 
 
 Prince of Life, enwrapped in gloom. 
 
 6 But in vain the grave has bound him. 
 Death has barred its gates in vain ; 
 
 See, for us the Savior rises, 
 
 Lo! for us he bursts the chain. 
 
 7 Hear we, then, this grand old story. 
 And, in listening, learn to love; 
 
 Flowing through it to the gudty, 
 From a pardoning God above.

 Seek those of evil behavior, 
 
 Bid them their live to amend; 
 Go point the lost world to the Savior, 
 
 And be to the friendless a friend. 
 Still be the lone heart of anguish 
 
 Soothed by the pity of thine: 
 By waysides, if wounded ones languish, 
 
 Go pour in the oil and the wine. 
 Then work, &c. 
 
 Work, though the enemies laughter 
 
 Over the valleys may sweep — 
 For God's patient workers hereafter 
 
 Shall laugh when the enemies weep. 
 Ever on Jesus reliant. 
 
 Press on your chivalrous way — 
 The mightiest Philistine giant 
 
 His Davids are chartered to slay. 
 Then work, &c. 
 
 Work for the good that is nighest; 
 
 Dream not of greatness afar; 
 That glory is ever the highest. 
 
 Which shines upon men as they are. 
 Work, though the world would defeat you; 
 
 Heed not its slander and scorn ; 
 Nor weary till angels shall greet you 
 
 With smiles through the gates of the morn. 
 Then work, &c. 
 
 Offer thy life on the altar, 
 
 In the high purpose be strong; 
 And if the tired spirit should falter, 
 
 Then sweeten thy laljor with song. 
 What if the poor heart complaineth, 
 
 Soon shall its wailing be o'er: 
 For there, in the rest that remaineth. 
 
 It shall grieve and be weaiy no more. 
 Then work, t&c.

 But the praise and the glory to Jesus belongs. 
 
 And when I have finished my last earthly song.

 Rest, rest, for ever rest.

REX OUNCE THE CUJ\ — Con,-!u,l,d. 
 
 1 And coKler still the winds tlul blow. 
 And darker liours of night came on, 
 And deeper grew the drifted snow, 
 
 Her limbs were chilled, her strength was gone. 
 O God I she cried, in accents wild. 
 If I must perish, save my child. 
 
 3 She stnpjied the mantle from her breast. 
 And bared her bosom to the storm, 
 As round the child she w'rapped the vest, 
 She smiled to think that it was warm. 
 With one cold kiss, a tear of grief, 
 The !>ioken-hearled found relief. 
 
 4 At morn her cruel husband passed. 
 
 And saw her on her snowy bed ; 
 Her tearful eyes were closed at last. 
 
 Her cheek was pale, her spirit fled, 
 lie raised the mantle from the child, 
 The babe looked up and sweetly smiled. 
 
 5 Shall this sad warning plead in vain ? 
 
 Poor thoughtless one, it sjtcaks to you ; 
 A'o-M break the tempter's eniel chain, 
 No more your dreadful way pursue : 
 Kenounce the eup, to Jesus fly — 
 Immortal soul, w.hy will you die? 
 
 SAVE, LORD, OR WE PERISH !

 Now seated in glory, the mariner cherish. 
 Who cries, in his anguish, "Save, Lord, or we perish!" 
 
 3 And O, when the wirlwind of passion is raging, 
 WHien sin in our hearts its wild warfare is waging, 
 Arise in Thy strength. Thy redeemed ones to cherish. 
 Rebuke the destroyer — " Save, Lord, or we perish ! "

 "Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine: 
 
 Are they not enough foi- thee?" 
 But the Shepherd made answer: "This of mine, 
 
 Has wandered away from me: 
 And although the road be rough and steep, 
 I go to the desert to find my sheep." 
 
 But none of the ransomed ever knew 
 How deep were the waters crossed ; 
 
 How dark the night the Lord passed through 
 Ere he found his sheep that was lost. 
 
 Out in the desert he heard its cry — 
 
 Sick and helpless, and ready to die 
 
 "Lord, whence are those blood-drops all the way 
 That mark out the mountain's track?" 
 
 "They were shed for one who had gone astray 
 Ere the Shepherd could bring him back." 
 
 "Lord, whence are thy hands so rent and torn?" 
 
 "They are pierced to-night by many a thorn." 
 
 But all through the mountains, thunder-riven. 
 
 And up from the rocky steep. 
 There rose a cry to the gale of heaven, 
 
 "Rejoice! I have found my sheep!" 
 And the angels echoed around the throne, 
 "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!"

 2 Oh, what are you going to do, brother ? 
 
 The morning of youth is past : 
 The vigour and strength of manhood. 
 
 My brother, are yours at last ; 
 You are rising in worldly prospects. 
 And prospered in worldly things ; 
 A duty to those less favoured. 
 
 The smile of your fortune brings. 
 Chorus. — Go, prove that your heart is grateful — 
 The Lord has a work for you ! 
 Then what are you going to do, brother? 
 Say, what are you going to do? 
 
 3 Oh, what are you going to do, brother? 
 
 Vour sun at its noon is high ; 
 It shines in meridian splendour, 
 
 And rides through a cloudless sky. 
 You are holding a high position. 
 Of honour, of trust, and fame ; 
 Are you willing to give the glory 
 And praise to your Saviour's name ? 
 Chorus. — The regions that sit in darkness 
 
 -\re stretching their hands to you ; 
 Oh, what are you going to do. brother? 
 Say, what are you going to do? 
 
 61 
 
 4 Oh, what are you going to do, brother? 
 
 The tempter is near at hand : 
 I^ook not on the wine that sparkles. 
 
 Remember the great command. 
 Go not to the midnight revel. 
 
 Nor join in the careless song; 
 Beware of the wine that sparkles, 
 'Twill lead thee to ruin and wrong. 
 Chorus. — The eyes of the angels in pity 
 
 Are mournfully turning to you ; 
 Then what are you going to do, brother ? 
 Sav, what are you going to do? 
 
 5 Oh, what are you going to do, brother ? 
 
 The twilight approaches now ;- 
 Already your locks are silvered, 
 And winter is on your brow. 
 Your talents, your time, your riches, 
 
 To Jesus, your Master, give ; 
 Then ask if the world around you 
 Is better because you live. 
 Chorus. — You are nearing the brink of Jordan, 
 But still there is work for you ; 
 Then what are you going to do, brother? 
 Say, what are you going to do ?

 2 I saw a man in life's gay noon. 
 
 Stand weeping o'er his young bride's bier; 
 "And must we part," he cried, "so soon!" 
 As down his cheelv there rolled a tear. 
 "Heart-stricken one,'' said I, "weep not! " 
 "Weep not!" in accent wild he cried, 
 "But yesterday my loved one died. 
 And shall she be so soon forgot ? " 
 " Forgotten ? no! still let her love 
 Sustain thy heart, with anguish riven ; 
 Strive thou to meet thy bride above, 
 And dry your tears, your tears in heaven." 
 
 3 I saw a gentle mother weep. 
 
 As to her throbbing heart she pressed 
 
 An infant, seemingly asleep 
 
 On its kind mother's sheltering breast. 
 
 " Fair one," said I, " pray weep no more." 
 
 Sobbed she, "The idol of my hope 
 
 I now am called to render up ; 
 
 My babe has reached death's gloomy shore." 
 
 " Young mother, yield no more to grief, 
 
 Nor be by passion's tempest driven. 
 
 But find in these sweet words relief. 
 
 There are no tears, no tears in heaven." 
 
 Poor traveller o'er life's troubled wave — 
 Cast down by grief, overwhelmed by care — 
 There is an arm above can save, 
 Then yield not thou to fell despair. 
 Look upward, mourners, look above! 
 What though the thunders echo loud. 
 The sun shines bright beyond the cloud. 
 Then trust to thy Redeemer's love, 
 Where'er thy lot in life be cast ; 
 Whate'er of toil or woe be given. 
 Be firm, remember to the last, 
 "There are no tears, no tears in heaven.''

 2 Xnw, now tlie danj^erous ^torm is rolling, 
 
 Which treacherous kings confederate raise; 
 The dogs of war, let loose, are howling — 
 
 And lo! our walls and cities blaze! 
 And shall we basely view the ruin. 
 
 While lawless force, with guiltv stride. 
 
 Spreads desolation far and wide. 
 With crimes and blood his hands embruing? 
 To arms, &c. 
 
 3 With luxury and pride surrounded, 
 
 The vile insatiate despots dare, 
 Their thirst of gold and power unbounded, 
 To mete and vend the light and air. 
 
 Like beasts of burden would they load us-:— 
 Like gods would bid their slaves adore — 
 But man is man — and who is more? 
 
 Then shall they longer lash and goad us? 
 To arms, &c. 
 
 4 Oh! liberty! can man resign thee, 
 
 Once having felt thy generous flame? 
 Can dungeons, bolts, and bars confine thee? 
 
 Or whips thy noble spirit tame ? 
 Too long the world has wept, bewailing 
 That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield — 
 But freedom is our sword and shield, 
 And all their arts are unavailing.

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER. Concluded. 
 
 Mrs. H. E. Brown.

 On the shore dimly seen through the mist of the deep, 
 
 Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, 
 What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep. 
 
 As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 
 Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, 
 
 In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream : 
 
 And where is that l)and, who so vauntingly swore, 
 
 'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, 
 A home and a country they'd leave us no more? 
 
 Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution ; 
 No refuge could save the hireling and slave 
 
 From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. 
 
 Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand 
 
 Between their loved home and the war's desolation ; 
 Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land 
 
 Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation. 
 Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just. 
 
 And this be our motto, " In God is our trust."

 "LOOK NOT I'PON THE WINE WHEN IT IS RED. 
 
 Eirs/ Dc'om. 
 
 ■My heart is light and free ; 
 
 My step is firm and strong; 
 I move amid the multitude, 
 
 The happiest of the throne. 
 The wine is sparkling red. 
 
 Most beautiful to see ; 
 They say it glitters to deceive. 
 But what is that to me? 
 Oh, I am safe! am safe ! no danger can I see ; 
 The wine will ruin you, perhaps, but can not injure me. 
 
 "DO NOT DRINK SI RONG DRINK, THUU NOK THY SONS WITH THEE." 
 
 Second Degree. 
 
 I'm older than I was, 
 
 I'm wiser now, to-day. 
 Than last year when I danced and sang — 
 
 The happiest of the gay ; 
 My limbs are slightly weak, 
 
 I tremble some, you see. 
 And brandy need to calm my nerves, 
 
 But what is that to me ? 
 Oh, I am safe! am safe, no danger can I see; 
 The brandy'U ruin you, perhaps, but cannot injure me. 
 
 "strong drink shall be BITTER TO THEM THAT DRINK IT." 
 
 Third Degree. 
 
 Carnival joys I prize. 
 
 To drive dull care away ; 
 And often quit life's busy round 
 
 To cheer the long dull day. 
 My brain is over-taxed 
 
 With grave perplexity, 
 A glass of whisky builds me up. 
 
 But what is that to me? 
 Oh, 1 am safe! am safe! no danger can I see; 
 The whisky'U ruin you, perhaps, but can not injure me 
 
 "IT BITETH LIKE A SERPENT AND STINGETH LIKE AN ADDER.** 
 
 Fourth Degree. 
 Ah, nothing harms me now, 
 
 All liquors tempt my thirst — 
 Old ale, and gin, and rum alike 
 
 Are good as wine at first; 
 For drinking st^( tus a man. 
 
 Sets him from bondage free; 
 I'm not fastidious in my taste. 
 But what is that to me? 
 Oh, I am safe! am safe! no danger can I see; 
 Strong drink will ruin you, perhaps, but can not injure me.'' 
 
 "THE DRUNKARD AND THE GLUTTON SHALL COME TO POVERTV." 
 
 Fifth Degree. 
 When I am asked to drink 
 
 I never answer, No ; 
 I can not purchase it myself, 
 
 I daily poorer grow. 
 My living all is gone. 
 
 My clothes in rags you see ; 
 I take whatever I can beg. 
 But what is that to me ? 
 Oh, I am safe! am safe! no danger can I see; 
 The rags might frighten you, perhaps, but can not 
 frighten me. 
 
 "nor DRUNKARDS NOK EXTORTIONERS SHALL INHERIT THE KING- 
 DOM OF GOD." 
 
 Sixth Degree. 
 I'm safe ! But am I safe ? 
 Oh! what is that T see! 
 A yawning gulf before me lies, 
 
 A drunkard's grave for me. 
 For me! for me! Oh, save! 
 
 Brave comrades, hear my call! 
 Stretch out a hand to rescue me; 
 I tremble! shiver! fall! 
 Not one, alas, is safe! but all who take the glass. 
 And drink the brandy, rum, and gin. shall feel its sting 
 at last.

 2 Brother, you may pray to Jesus 
 
 In your closet and at home; 
 In the village, in the city. 
 
 Or wherever you may roam. 
 Pray that God may send the Spirit 
 
 Into some dear sinner's heart. 
 And that in his soul's salvation 
 
 ||:You may bear some humble part, : 
 
 3 Sister, you may "sing for Jesus," 
 
 O, how precious is his level 
 Praise him for his boundless blessings 
 Ever coming from above. 
 
 Sing how Jesus died to save you. 
 How your sins and guilt He bore ; 
 
 How His blood hath sealed your pardon; 
 ||:"Sing for Jesus'" evermore. :|j 
 
 4 Brother, you may live for Jesus, 
 
 He who died that you may live; 
 O, then all your ransomed powers 
 
 Cheerful to his service give. 
 Thus for Jesus you may labor, 
 
 And for Jesus si)ig and pray; 
 Consecrate your life to Jesus; 
 
 11: Love and serve him every day.||

 Our birds of song are silent now, 
 There are no flowers blooming, 
 
 But life beats in the frozen bough, 
 And freedom's spring is coming; 
 
 And freedom's tide comes up always, 
 Though we may stantl in sorrow, 
 
 And our good bark aground to-day, 
 
 \\: Shall float again to-morrow. :]|

 Tho' hearts brood o'er the past, ourfyts 
 With smiling futures glisten ; 
 
 Lo! now the dawn bursts up the skifs; 
 
 Lean out your souls and listen. 
 The world rolls freedom's radiant waj, 
 
 And ripens with our sorrow, 
 And 'tis the martydom to-day,

 Tho' all the long dark night of years, 
 
 The people's cry ascended. 
 And earth was wet with blood and tears. 
 
 Ere their meek suft'erance ended; 
 The few shall not forever sway, 
 
 The many toil in sorrow, 
 The bars of hell are strong to-day,

 O youth, flame earnest still ins])ire 
 
 With energies immortal. 
 To many a haven of desire. 
 
 Your yearning opes the j^ortal ; 
 And though age wearies by the way. 
 
 And hearts break in the furrow. 
 We'll sow the golden grain to-day,

 I would build me a mansion of stone, Evangel, 
 
 Out of gems, clear and polished like glass; 
 I'd surround it with lawns, and with trees and with flowers, 
 With rich statues, pure streams, and with green rosy bowers, 
 
 Such as nothing on earth could surpass. 
 
 Have you thought of the mansions of God, Erring One, 
 
 Which He builds for His children on high? 
 Can you build as can He who hath made the great world? 
 Or adorn as can He who the sky hath unfurled, 
 
 And whose bounties all creatures supply? 
 
 I would fill it with pictures, and purchase rare wines; 
 
 I'd surround me with children and friends; 
 And with music and song, and with dance would be gay. 
 And would fear for no want and wouhl dread no decay. 
 
 And my pleasures would never have end. 
 
 Have you thought how earth's riches take wings. Erring One — 
 
 How our children and friends pass away ; 
 How the strong man grows weak, and how pleasures grow stale, 
 Or how beauty soon fades, and our senses soon fail, 
 
 As we haste to that infinite day ? 
 
 I would seek the world's honors, and make me a name; 
 
 But your honor and fame would soon die! 
 Can I claim nothing, then. Evangel, as my own? 
 If you had all the world, nothing's yours. Erring One; 
 
 All is His who doth reign in the sky. 
 
 Can I have, then, these riches of God, Evangel, 
 
 That honor those mansions above? 
 f iod hath made them for you, and for me, and for all. 
 Who before Him in faith, love, and duty will fall. 
 
 He will raise to the bliss of His love.

 2 Not as the conqueror comes, 
 
 They, the true-hearted, came ; 
 Not with the roll of stirring drums, 
 
 And the trump that sings of fame; 
 Not as the flying came. 
 
 In silence and in fear , 
 They shook the depths of the desert's gloom 
 
 With their hymns of lofty cheer. 
 
 3 Amidst the storm they sang ; 
 
 And the stars heard, and the sea! 
 And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rang 
 To the anthem of the free! 
 
 -^--. 
 
 The ocean eagle soared 
 
 From his nest by the white waves' foam, 
 And the rocking pines of the forest roared — 
 
 This was their welcome home ! 
 
 4 What sought they thus afar? 
 
 Bright jewels of the mine? 
 The wealth of seas, the spoils of war? 
 
 They sought a faith's pure shrine! 
 Aye, call it holy ground, 
 
 The soil where first they trod ! 
 They have left unstained what here they found : 
 
 Freedom to worship God.

 2 I remember that voice, as it led our lone way, 
 
 'Midst rocks and through breakers and high-dashing spray; 
 How sweet to my heart did it sound from the shore. 
 As it echoed so clearly o'er the dark billows' roar: 
 imi P'flice. — "Come this way, my father; steer straight for me; 
 Mere, safe on the shore, I am waiting for thee." 
 
 3 That voice is now huslied, which then guided my \\"ay ; 
 The form I then ])ressed is now mingling with clay; 
 But the tones of my child slill sound in my ear, 
 
 2nii Voin\ — " I am calling you, father, oh ! can you not hear 
 
 The voice of your darling, as you toss on life's sea? 
 For on a bright shore I am waiting for thee." 
 
 4 I remember tliat voice in many a lone hour; 
 
 It speaks to my heart in fresh beauty and power. 
 And still echoes far out o'er life's troubled wave. 
 And sounds from the loved lips that lie in the grave : 
 2«</ I'oice. — " Come this way, my father; oh ! steer straight for me! 
 Here, safely in lieaven, I am waiting for thee."

 2 Singing for Jesus glad hymns of devotion, 
 
 Lifting the soul on her pinions of love; 
 Dropping a word or a thought by the wayside, 
 
 Telling of rest in the mansions above. 
 Music may soften where language would fail us, 
 
 Feelings long buried 'twill often restore. 
 Tones that were breathed from the lips of departed. 
 
 How we revere them when they are no more. -. 
 
 3 Singing for Jesus, my blessed Redeemer, 
 
 God of the pilgrims, for Thee I will sing; 
 When o'er the billows of time I am wafted. 
 
 Still with Thy praise shall eternity ring. 
 Glory to God for the prospect before me. 
 
 Soon shall my spirit transported ascend ; 
 -Singing for Jesus, O blissful employment. 
 
 Loud hallelujahs that never will end \

THE DYING CHILD. — Concluded. 
 
 2 She'll know me when I come, mother, 
 
 She'll take me by the hand; 
 We'll always be together there, 
 
 In yonder peaceful land. 
 Anil, Mother, we shall wear bright crowns, 
 
 We'll be with Jesus too ; 
 And then, before God's golden throne, 
 
 We'll stand and wait for you. 
 
 3 I like to feel your hand, mother, 
 
 So soft upon my brow ; 
 I always loved its gentle touch, 
 'Tis dearer to me now. 
 
 O mo'her, do not weep for me, 
 
 I'm not afraid to die ; 
 Your lip is trembling, and I see 
 
 The tears are in your eye. 
 
 4 Lean closer down your ear, mother, 
 
 My voice is growing weak; 
 You're weeping yet, I felt a tear 
 
 Just fall upon niy cheek. 
 My eyes grow dim, and, oh I I hear 
 
 Sweet music from the sky ; 
 It is for me, I'm going now — 
 
 Mother, dear mother, Good-bye!

 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou 
 
 Shouldst lead me on ; 
 I loved to choose and see my path ; but now 
 
 Lead Thou me on. 
 I loved the garish day; and spite of fears, 
 I'ride ruled my will ; remember not past years. 
 
 3 So long Thy power has blest me, sure it still 
 Will lead me on. 
 O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till 
 
 The night is gone, 
 .\nd with the morn those angel faces smile. 
 Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. Amen.

 O'er the South we journey, o'er its sunny regions, 
 Drinking in its beauties — what delight is ours! 
 With its vernal landscapes Florida beguiles us, 
 Florida our fathers called the land of flowers ; 
 Stately pines are waving in the laughing breeze, 
 Golden fruits are dropping from the orange trees; 
 All around is smiling, all of joy is telling. 
 Every thing to charm u>, every thing to please. 
 
 O'er the Mississippi and the great Missouri 
 We have glided onward 'neath the sky so blue ; 
 At the grave of Lincoln, sacred to our nation. 
 Saviour of our country, faithful, loyal, true; 
 'Over California, where for days we journeyed, 
 Pleasant were the changes, rich in beauty rare; 
 But Yosemite Valley rivals all description. 
 With its falls majestic and their rainbows fair. 
 
 Thro' a park we journey, spreaaing out before us 
 Like a panorama — Yellowstone its name; 
 See the geyser fountains into air ascending! 
 Then again receding quickly as they came. 
 Farms of finest culture, fields of growing wheat, 
 Orchards, too, and meadows all around we meet; 
 While the honest farmer, resting from his labor. 
 Smiles upon the children gathered at his feet. 
 
 Australia, England, Scotland, Erin, famed in story, 
 Holland, France, Italia, where the poets dwell, 
 German state and province, Switzers' Alpine country, 
 Each in turn have bound us like a magic spell. 
 Gazing on the mountains with the sunset glow 
 Resting o'er their summits crowned w'ith while and snow, 
 What a sight imposing! what a sea of grandeur! 
 With the roses sleeping in the vale below. 
 
 We have been in Asia, through the many countries 
 That to every Christian sacred still should be; 
 We have stood in reverence where our blessed Saviour 
 Taught the crowds that gathered, taught them by the sea. 
 India's gentle breezes oft our cheeks have fanned ; 
 We have seen the sand-storms in old Afric's land; 
 By the Nile we've wandered, where the rod of Moses 
 Brought the plagues of Egypt, at the Lord's command. 
 
 Time would fail to tell you more about our journey, 
 
 We must end our travels woven in a song; 
 
 We shall try to picture scenes the most attractive, 
 
 Round the world of wonders while we passed along. 
 
 Home again and happy, oh, how glad are we 
 
 Those we left behind us once again to see! 
 
 God protect our Union, God preserve our banner, 
 
 Long to wave in triumph o'er the noble free.

 Go quickly, and meet with Him there. Ch<>. 
 
 4 My sister, the Master is waiting for you; 
 
 He calls for the reapers to-day. 
 There's work for each one of His children to do; 
 
 Oh, haste thee! no longer delay, Cho.

 2 Our country, the birthplace of freedom. 
 
 The land were our forefathers trod. 
 And sang in the aisles of the forest 
 
 Their hymns of thanksgiving to God. 
 Their bark they had moored in the harbor. 
 
 No more on the ocean to roam ; 
 And there, in the wilds of New England, 
 
 They founded a country and home.

 3 Our country, with ardent devotion, 
 
 In God may thy children abide; 
 In Him be the strength of our nation, 
 
 His laws and his counsel its guide. 
 Our l>anner — that time-honored banner 
 
 That floats o'er the ocean's bright foam- 
 God keep them unsullied forever — 
 
 Our standard, our union, our home.

THE CRADLE BED SONG.—CondiuM. 
 
 2 Though the house was held by strangers, 
 
 All remained the same within, 
 Just as when a child I ramlilei-l 
 
 Up and down, and out and in. 
 To the garret dark ascending 
 
 (Once a source of childish dread), 
 Peering through the misty cobwebs, 
 
 Lo ! I saw my cradle-bed. 
 
 3 Quick I drew it from the rul)bish. 
 
 Covered o'er with dust so long; 
 When, behold, I heard in fancy 
 
 Strains of one familiar song, 
 Often sung by my dear mother, 
 To me in that cradle-bed. 
 *"Hush, my dear, lie still an<l slumber. 
 Holy angels guard thy bed."' 
 
 4 While I listen to the music 
 
 Stealing on in gentle strain, 
 I am carried back to childhood — 
 
 I am now a child again ; 
 'Tis the hour for my retiring. 
 
 At the dusky eventide ; 
 Near my cradle-bed I'm kneeling, 
 
 As in yore, by mother's side. 
 
 5 Hands are on my head so loving. 
 
 As they were in childhood's days ; 
 I, with weary tones, am trying 
 
 To repeat the words she says. 
 'Tis a prayer in language simple 
 
 As a mother's lips can frame : 
 ■" "Father, Thou who art in heaven, 
 
 Hallowed ever be Thy name." 
 
 6 Prayer is over — to my pillow 
 
 With a good-night kiss I creep. 
 Scarcely waking while I whisper, 
 
 "Now I lay me down to sleep.'' 
 Then my mother, o'er me bending, 
 
 Prays in earnest words, but mild, 
 * "Hear my prayer, O Heavenly Father, 
 
 Bless, oh, bless my precious child." 
 
 7 Vet I am but only dreaming. 
 
 Ne'er I'll be a child again. 
 Many years has that dear mother 
 
 In the quiet graveyard lain. 
 But her blessed angel-spirit 
 
 Daily hovers o'er my head, 
 Calling me from earth to heaven, 
 
 Even from my cradle-bed. 
 
 *^-Vse the second ending for these two lines.

 First of all for Him; 
 Well He sees and knows 
 
 If our light grows dim. 
 He looks flown from heaven. 
 
 Sees us shine. 
 You in your small corner,

 3 Jesus bids us .shine 
 
 Then for all around. 
 Many kinds of darkness 
 
 In this world abound — 
 Sin and want and sorrow. 
 
 We must shine. 
 You in your small corner,

 Encompass me. O Father, | take my | hand, 
 
 And from the night lead up to light, 
 
 Up to light, up to light, 
 Lead up to light Thy child.

 Keep me from wandering. Father, | take my | hand. 
 
 And in the way to endless day. 
 
 Endless day, endless day. 
 Lead safely on Thy child. 
 
 4 The path is rough, my Father ! || Many a thorn 
 Has pierced me; and my feet, all torn 
 
 And bleeding, | mark the [ way. |j Yet Thy command 
 Bids me press forward. Father, | take my | hand; 
 
 Then safe and blest, O lead to rest, 
 Leail to rest, leati to rest, 
 
 O lead.to rest Thy child. 
 
 5 The cross is heavy. Father! [| I have borne 
 
 It long, and | still do | bear it, || Let my worn 
 
 And fainting spirit rise to that bright land 
 
 Where crowns are given. F'ather, | take my | hand; 
 
 And, reaching down, lead to the crown. 
 To the crown, to the crown, 
 
 Lead to the crown Thy child.

HERE AND THERE. — Comhulea. 
 
 2 Here we feel the tempter's power. 
 
 Here we sigh for living-bread ; 
 Clouds of gloom and darkness lower, 
 
 While a rugged path we tread. 
 There no cruel thorns are found. 
 
 Doubt and fear and storms are o'er; 
 There the fruits of joy abound, 
 
 We shall hunger there no more. 
 
 3 Here we breathe the sultry air 
 
 Of a lonely desert plain ; 
 Trials here the heart must bear 
 
 Worn by sickness, racked \\ith pain. 
 
 There the waves of death are passed, 
 There, among the pure and blest, 
 
 Safely anchored home at last, 
 
 There our wandering feet shall rest. 
 
 4 Here our fondest hopes are brief. 
 
 Kindred ties are broken here; 
 .Morning brings a night of grief, 
 
 Joy is mingled with a tear. 
 There shall faith be lost in sight. 
 
 There a long eternal day; 
 Christ the Lamb shall be the Light, 
 
 He will wipe our tears away.

GUARD THY TONGUE.— Ccm/ii,/,d. 
 
 2 It can cheer the sad and lonely, 
 
 Like a beam of morning light; 
 O'er a gentle, loving spirit 
 
 It can throw a cruel blight. 
 We have need to guaid it wisely, 
 
 And bo careful what we say, 
 Lest we harm an erring brother. 
 
 Who may stumble by the way. 
 Set a watch, &c. 
 
 3 Willi the tongue we blend our voices 
 
 In the melody of song; 
 With the tongue we utter falsely. 
 
 And we do each other wrong. 
 Can a single fountain give us 
 
 Sweet and bitter waters too? 
 Yes ! the tongue speaks good and evil, 
 
 Though it ought not so to do. 
 Set a watch. Sac. 
 
 4 Ilinv a spark of angry feeling 
 
 It will kindle to a flame; 
 We can chain the savage lion. 
 
 But the tongue can no man tame. 
 With the tongue we bless our Father, 
 
 With the tongue His law profane; 
 With the tongue we praise our Maker, 
 
 And we take His Name in vain. 
 Coda. — For of every kind of beasts, &c. 
 
 5 Hush that idle whisper, sister. 
 
 Think the Lord is standing near! 
 Listening to each word thou speakest 
 
 <)f the souls to Him so dear! 
 Tell how firmly walks thy brother; 
 
 All his brave and true deeds tell ; 
 Speak not of the past's dark errors. 
 Tell not that he tripped and fell. 
 Set a watch, &c.

 2 Curfew bells, remotely ringing, 
 
 Mingled with that sweet voice singing. 
 And the last red ray seemed clinging 
 
 Lingeringly to tower and tree. 
 Nearer as I came, and nearer, 
 Finer rose the notes, and clearer; 
 Oh ! 'twas heaven itself to hear her — 
 
 "Jamie's on the stormy sea!" 
 
 How could I but list, but linger. 
 To the song, and near the singer, 
 Sweetly wooing heaven to bring her 
 
 Jamie from the stormy sea ? 
 And while yet her lips did name me, 
 Forth I sprang — my heart o'ercame me- 
 '' Grieve no more, sweet, I am Jamie, 
 
 Home returned to love and thee! "

 To His ain royal palace, His banished hame will bring,

 *'The King in His beauty," an' our ain' countrie. 
 
 My sins hae been mony, an' my sorrows hae been sair; 
 
 But there they'll never vex me, nor be remembered mair ; 
 
 For His bluid hath made me white, an' His hand shall dry my e'e, 
 
 When He brings me hame at last to my ain countrie. 
 
 3 He is faithfu' that hath promised, an' He'll surely come again, 
 He'll keep His tryst wi' me, at what hour I dinna ken ; 
 
 But He bids me ^tiU to wait, an' ready aye to be, 
 
 To gang at ony moment to my ain countrie. 
 
 So I'm watching aye, an' singing o' my hame as I wait, 
 
 For the soun'ing o' His footfa' this side the gowden gate. 
 
 God gie His grace to ilk ane wha listens noo lo me. 
 
 That we a' may gang in gladness to our ain countrie.

 While the years are rolling on ; 
 Seek to raise a fallen brother, 
 
 While the years are rolling on. 
 
 This is work for every hand, 
 
 Till, throughout creation's land, 
 
 Armies for the Lord shall stand, 
 
 While the years are rolling on. 
 
 Chorus. 
 
 Friends we love are quickly flying, 
 While the years are rolling on ; 
 
 No more parting, no more dying, 
 While the years are rolling on. 
 
 In the world beyond the tomb 
 
 Sorrow never more can come; 
 
 When we meet in that blest home. 
 While the years are rolling on.

 Thro' this grand and glorious country, In our char - i - ot of song. Now we hear a veteran's story, 
 And we bring to mind the rivers, Lakes and Falls that we have seen. But we start as in the disiance 
 While a lit - tie group are gathered By a rus - tic cot-tage door ; And the evening star is shinin" 
 "Jii-nia at the gate is waiting," Brings to us a pleas-ant sound. But we now re-sume our journev, 
 That has Ijorne her cross with patience. And has braved her latest stormjWe behold the chililren kneeling. 
 
 .•\nd we feel its mag-ic thrill. As we list -en for a moment. To the ".Song of Bunker-Hill." 
 Comes a voice of freedom true. In a song our fathers cherished, 'Tis the old "Red, White and Blue.' 
 With its beams so calm and bright. While we hear in ten-der pathos. "Old Kentucky Home, good night ! ' 
 Till an - oth - er song we hear, That within our hearts will lin-ger. And its memorv will be dear. 
 And their teardrops fall like rain. But they know their sainted mother They will meet in heaven again.

 pleadings and strivings are o'er, The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting no more. 
 
 Sixth and Kitith hours. 
 2 O Loiterer, speed thee, the morn wears apace; 
 Then squander no longer the moments of grace ; 
 But haste while there's time, with thy Master agree, 
 The Lord of the Vineyard stands waiting for thee. 
 Gentle Spirit, stay, oh, stay! 
 Brightly beams the early day; 
 Let nie linger in these bowers, 
 God shall have my noontide hours; 
 Chide me not for my delay; 
 Gentle Spirit, wait, I pray! 
 
 143 
 
 Elct't'titJi and last hours. 
 O Sinner, arouse thee, the morning is past! 
 Already the shadows are lengthening fast ; 
 Escape for thy life, from the dark mountains flee! 
 The Lord of the Vineyard is waiting for thee. 
 
 Spirit, cease thy mournful lay; 
 
 Leave me to myself, I pray. 
 
 Earth hath flung her spell around me; 
 
 Pleasure's silken chain hath bound me. 
 
 When the sun his path hath trod. 
 
 Spirit, then I'll turn to God! Knell.

 hold, What a wondrous march of science does this mighty age un-fold ! 
 call; liut the beams of Christian knowledge shed the . . . . 
 
 pur -est light of all 
 
 Lo ! our commerce wide extending, we can traffic where we will. 
 And our country's starry banner, see it waving proudly still! 
 And our steamships o'er the ocean bring us all our heart's desire. 
 And we talk with foreign monarchs by the telegraphic wire. 
 While from China, Britain, Europe, we have workmen to employ. 
 We extend the hand of kindness, and we welcome them with joy • 
 We will tell them of the Bible, by its pure and precious word, 
 We will teach them how to labour in the vineyard of the Lord. 
 
 3- 
 
 To our country's early history now we'll turn our eyes again. 
 When the people sang together in a quiet, simple strain, 
 In a church of humble structure, on a sloping hill that stood, 
 With a grave-yard close beside it, overshadowed by a wood: 
 Though the seed was sown in weakness, yet its great results we share, 
 For the blessings which surround us, is in answer to their prayer. 
 Now with all these vast improvements, and our banner wide unfurled. 
 With a zeal that never falters let us Christianize tJic world !

BE KLKD TO THE LOVED OXES AT HOME.— Concluacd. 
 
 on her brow 
 
 2. Be kind to thy mother — for lo 
 
 May traces of sorrow be seen ; 
 Oh, well may'st thou cherish and comfort her now, 
 
 For loving and kind hath she been. 
 Remember thy mother — for thee will she pray, 
 
 As long as God giveth her breath; 
 With accents of kindness then cheer her lone way, 
 
 E'en to the dark valley of death. 
 
 3. Be kind to thy brother — his heart will have dearth. 
 
 If the smile of thy joy be withdrawn; 
 The flowers of feeling will fade at their birth. 
 
 If the dew of affection be gone. 
 Be kind to thy brother — wherever you are, 
 
 The love of a brother shall be 
 .\n ornament purer and richer by far 
 
 Than pearls from the depth of the sea. 
 
 4. Be kind to thy sister — not many may know 
 
 The depth of true sisterly love ; 
 The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below 
 
 The surface that sparkles above. 
 Be kind to thy father, once fearless and Bold, 
 
 Be kind to thy mother so near; 
 Be kind to thy brother, nor show thy heart cold, 
 
 Be kind to thy sister so dear.
