I‘lll'hV illc* 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. B.\nxi:svji.tK, Gkorota, ) Sept, 11, 1876. j 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 Bridge into Canada, d'h -re w.i visi- , tel the Must an, and after paying I oncdo’hr each lor t-lio rent of u er | proof sails, ventured and avn io the ; Cave of tho.

Be j had ;t delightful trip home, passing: in i view of some ot the most beaulilul ! scenery in tlie world. i know no party ever saw more or enjoyed more than we did' ill the same length of time.
