There art twf Unpetaaiona wbkb are
d anoa my mind aa to the leading
whom I have passed, as the almanac
informs me, but ; two short months.
Everything seems to be fermenting
and growing, and jet I have been no
rurtnex west than JNiagara. As 1 Btood
in the moonlight at that great work
and ceaseless labor of nature and saw
it for the first time, it looked to me
like the incessant activity and .tireless,
restless, beating whirlpool of life and
existence here. In the everlasting tu
mult of the abyss I saw the undying
posh and activity of America. In tbe
mist cloud that rose in the moonlight I
saw images somehow of American des
tiny. In the silver column that rose
silent into the night I saw the watchful
power that should be the pillar of light
to the posterity of each nation. The
Other impression ,1 1 have had 'very
strongly forced upon me is, the ever
present hopefulness and bueyancy of
the people. Beady ever to step forr
ward and try .again what had been
abandoned aa beyond the grasp of the
older people of Europe, they work night
apd day to supersede these progressions
by new devices and new methods.
1 Dean Stanley was married in 1862 to
Lady Angusta Bruce, daughter of tbe
late Earl bf Elgin, and a most intimate
friend of Queen Victoria. Her death
in 1876 was the occasion of extraordi
nary ; manifestations of regard ' for her
memory and; sympathy v with her be-
xeaved husband both in England and
in the United States. V4

earth who is so much the favorite of
