New Vork, Sept. I, 187(1.
Dear Mama and Rapa:
It has been several days since 1
mailed mv last letter. As I have
time to write this morning I will re
sume the account of my travels. We
arrived here on last Sabbath evening
and stopped at a very pleasant house,
where wc met all of our party who
had left us in Philadelphia. We hail
quite, a pleasant meeting, and had a
great deal to relate to each other.
On Monday morning all were ea
ger to go out sight-seeing. Of course
tvc must first fcg Biondway, the
great thoroughfare of the city. It is
80 feet wide, and upon it are most of
the principal hotels, banks and retail
stotvs. We soon found our way to
A. T. Stewart’s no ed retail store,
which is seven stories high, there be
ing GOO clerks employed in it, and as
we wended our way Irom one story
to aunt! or, seeing everything that
was tine and beautiful in the way of
dry goods. I thought, that there were
more goods in this house than would
be consumed in our town (Buena
Vista) in ten years. Wc priced some
ready made handsome silks for 1 idies
that were only $285, and saw a shawi
at the moderate sum of $5,000; but
we found some other goods that were
very reasonable in price. We visited
several other places of interest on
this street, and then returned to our
boaiding house where wo had lunch
at one o'clock.
In the afternoon my two little
cousins and myself were very anx
ious to visit the Central Park, as we
had often heard that it was one of
die largest and finest in the world.
It contains 843 acres. We w-cie cer
taidly not disappointed in it. One
that has mvor visited this lovely
place can form no conception of its
beau lies and attractive features.
We first walked down the Mall
which is the pdncipn! promenade,
and is nearly a quarter of a mile long.
It is bordered by double rows of
stately elms. At ttic lower end of
this arc fin - bronze statues ot Slinks
nearc and Scott, and the upper end
is ihc Music Pavilion where concerts
are given every Saturday afternoon.
Leaving this place we came to the
Terrace, which was a sphmdid rice
of masonry richly carved and decora
ted. Wo then descended tho Ter
race and reached Ccutr 1 Lake, die
pre tiest piece of water in the Park.
Between the Terrace and.Lake is the
costliest fountain in America. My
little cousins and imseif had .a de
ightiid lido over the 1 d<e in a little
gondola called the Honeysuckle. This
place, wiih the assoc'ations connected ;
rvi h it will always be a green spot in
my mem ry. We then procured car
riages, mid' had a ride from the lake
to the old Reservoir, from there to
the Arm; ie.in Museum and M- nag
ric of living animals, reptiles and
birds, comprising in my uiro speci
mens Tiie most, curious of all we
saw there were four sea lions. We
con’d hear them howling, the noise
somewhat r -sembling the barking <>i
a dog. Two of them c one up out. of
the water on dry hind and 1 assure
you they weie frightful looking. Af
ter seeing many other tilings, and
the day was drawing to a close, we
iel’t this lovely resort for our board -
ing house
1 cannot give you a minute desci ip
tion of all tiie places that we visited,
or of what we have seen during bur
siay hero, for it would consume too
much time and paper.
'file next day our whole party vis
ited Long Branch, a distance ot 31
miles from New York. We went 21
miles on water, and were out to see
before wc reached Sandy Hock, our
landing. We then took the curs, and
Soon arrived at Long Branch a sum
mer resort for the wealthy aristocrats
North, We bad a delightful drive
over the place, and saw President
Grant's summer cottage; also saw
him and his wife out riding in a
splendid carriage drawn by four line
large horses, and two liveried black
servants in attendance. M:s. Grant
bowed very politely to ns. We then
walked down on the beach where
quite a large number of persons,
dies and gentlemen, were in cos-'
tumes, surf bathing. This was en
tirely novel to us, and the tempta
tion was so great to go in ourselves
that we could not Lave resisted it
had not our time been so limited.
Soma of oar pacy said they were dis
appointed in the beach, as it a not
so pretty as tho beach on Cumber
land Island, a place in our own sun
ny South. Wo returned to Now
York (a differato route) by railway.
On Wednesday a part of our party
visited Brooklyn, the third largest
city in the United States. —lies just
across East river from New A ork.
On crossing the Ferry a friend ol my
Aunt’s was there in waiting tov us
with carriages. We first rode around
Prospect Bark, which was a beauti
ful drive. From there to Greenwood
cemetery, the most beaulilul in the
world. It contains 418 acres skill-
fully laid out. The grounds have vn
I ri-si suitaeo of hills, vulloys anil
plains. There are tunny beau ifnt
iiioiiumeti'S and vaults -among which
was Niblo's vault which is said to
have cost $100,005. and tho Pilot's
Fireman’s, and Gharlotte Ciiiulu’h
monuments, and grout many oilmrs
equally as pretty. Wo left dlls place
mid after lunching- with our friend,
we all wont over to Coney Island on
at) open ear, seven miles distant;
found a great crowd thorn and a
beautiful bench, nn<l hero our desires
ware gratified in surf-bathing. You
all would have been very much
amused ii you could have seen us in
qur comical looking costumes, ready
for the hath. But oh ! how delight
ful it was ! It seemed that it was no
effort at all to stay on the water.
There were large ropes stretched out
some distance in the sea and fastened
securely; so we had only to hold on
to these when the large waves came
rolling in and would lift us entirely
off of our feet. After we returned
that night wc visited Booth’s Thea
tre, which is the iinost in the city.
Next day wc visited Trinity church
which 1 think is worth special men
tion. It lias rich stained windows,
and tiie finest chime of bells in Amer
ica. It is of solid brown stone. The
church is open all day and have
prayers twice daily. The graveyard
surrounding the church is one of the
most picturesque spots in Now York.
All ascended the spire of the church
which is 284 feet high, and felt amply
re-paid for it. as it. commands the fin
est view of the city.
On the Sabbath we. visited a Gos
pel Tent which reminded me of our
carapmecting at home, and heard an
able discourse by Rev. Dr. Tvng.
1 Avill not close this lettei now, but
when 1 arrive home I will give you a
brief sketch, which will conclude our
trav Is.

We left Xcw York on tho sth on
the steamlioat, the Tibbard, up the
Hudson. Th s part of our trip was
dncidcdiy the most pleasant, and the
scenery cm the Hudson is said to be
unsurpassed in tho world. Wo trav
eled all day and reached Hibany
about six o’clock, had supper and
left there at eight. We arrived in
Buffalo next morning at nine, and
changed cars for Niagara. We
reached that place about ten o’clock,
procured robins at the Spencer Ho -
tel. We went Immediately to Goat
fs'aud, where wc had a splendid view
of both the American and Homo-
Shoe Falls. Then walked around
tho upper part of the island and
crossed tho bridges over on tho throe
■Sister islands. There wo had the
grandest view of the rapids above
the Falls. It is indeed a sublime
scene, but to appreciate it olio must,
see it. We left, tins place, hired car
riages and role ever the Siispensi n
