through a Heet of vnasela of all kind*.
Swine and oumlu to tin' city, la one of

the world. 8 >'o« of the passengers h. d

time to read about 'em. and while they

sod axio which is tills and Hint, au 1

be seed.
We had a furl rate vlwir of the Palll

After psssiu tiic Pahiaadrs we cum
Into the Tapimn 8eu. whar the river is
tuoren four miles wide and look* -is quell
asn dock-puml. Slug ding prison, what
stands on the rigid nt the boil of tlm
Tar pan 8e», was made to klvp tins
rascals In Xuw York, what tln-y habit
got loom Pir on llluckwell’s Island,
bulonn man sed ho didn’t blievn ther
was etoue vnuff In the Pallleitdc* to
build a bouie big oauiX to hold all Hut
emrbt to ha Lliar
In a few mlnils more we wan paasin
Stony Pint, wliar old Mad Antony
WayDe waked up the British sogers
with the pints of his luiyam-ta, one
roorntn before bieukfuil, in 1771). umI
then we was uuiour tlie highlands.
The son was mot down, uim) the
mountains—sum of 'em 1,000
feet high— stood nut in t> >KI relief
agin the brown evenin sky, thruwiu
their dark shadows far over Urn river,
that crooked snd twisted about In
every direction, as if It had got lost iu
try in to find its wnv throngli ’em.
Itsoemed as if old Miss Nature had
Jest tried her hand at makln hills and
boilers, wustiu yeath cuuff In her fancy
work to moke two or llirro SUles like
tbe Stale of Delnware; and I couldn’t
help but think what capers old Borens
must cat in the winter tlmo, when he
undertakes to Uavo astniitblow soiour
these everlaatm crags aud eaverna, and
preclpises. One would think it would
lake a right smart hurrycane to git
through ’em without RcUin’ scattered
Into 40,000 direction*, rtucli monstrous
mountings I never seed before. They
may talk about pllln Ossa on IVHon.
but if a body wanted to asloulsh the
world with a mounting, ell they would
have to do would bo to put Crow's
Neat on Duller Hill nr Dull Head on
Haro Mount, and If that wouldn’t lay
all the other hills In the shade, theu
they mought taka my hat.
The passengers was all terribly de
lighted with the scene; and them that
bad books and maps couldn’t git time
to ace anything fur answerin questions
at them wbst didn’t have none. Thar
was one man from New York, with a
crowd of ladya, that know'd all about
every place wc passed, and, to hear him
talk, a body would a’posed be had been
born and ralaoJ all along the shore like
the Indian was. The ladya krp hiuo
monstrous busy, yon m,iy depend.
••Whar’a Antony’* Nose, Mr. John
son T” says one of ’em.
“Oh, yee,” sea another, “I want to
see old Antony’s Noea. They any it's
cue of tbe greatest enrioatllsa In tbe
world—lt’» eo perfectly natural.”
“Antony’s Nose?” acs Mr. Johnson,
