Toronto's neat and rosy Unlon Depot never seJme-d so dear to me as when the clock struck fifteen minutes past. the on Saturday ufl'eruoun, March 17m, 19(1), and my hour for departure, to England had come, and I must in a few minutes say good bye to those who are vvry precious to me, and whom I may not see for many days. As the 1min pulled out of the. station and I looked over the, great, city that lim‘ near the hearts of all true. Cana~ diaus. I thought of all the blessings we enjoyed by being allowed to form part of this dear, dear country, and in my fancy I tried to picture the people of other nations, in whost‘ domainsl must soon find m elf. In a little while Parkdalo was tmchui, and those who had come thus far with me must now surely retreat, and I must. travel alone, at least so it, Seemed then, but by the, hour Hamilton was called,l stood on the platform to Welcome an old friend and send greetings back home, and as I sthde intutbe car again I iiotiwd a gentleman I knew, who was going down to New York, and we exchanged newspapers and kindnessrs which are common to trav- ellers who are at all genial and who wish to break the monotony of a long journey. Arriving at Niagara Falls , we crossed into the United States and lbegan tnsettle down again after the inspection of satchels, etc“ by customs officials. All went well till Buffalo was reached, when to our astonish- ment we were in reality " put off " at this Centre and compelled to rhange sleepers, as a, bumper had been broken. Imagine. the annoyance to those who had either retirtd or Were about to do so for the night. Passengers hurry- ing to and fro in all directions, half dressed, one shoe here an] another there, “Porter, where‘s this or that you moved when fixing up my berth ? " and in a jiffy we found ourseh es in an ordinary daycoarh, looking like lost children, waiting for a bed, and wish- ing for Tomnto and the. luxury ofnue’s own home and friends. However, “all things come to those who wait,“ and about. 2a. m. found me asleep, and when I awoke we were. The. train move-d very slowly on account of a snow storm which had raged the day before, and evenaftrr two engines were at.- tached with murb difficulty we steam- ed into New York, live huuis late. Outside the busy throng I saw my friend who was to meet- me. and mole faithful than some. waited all those long weary hours till Ishould find my- self safely and comfortably housed in Brooklyn. I was conscious from within that it was the Sabbath Day, but from out- side appearances I realized I was in a. strange land, and where the quietude of our Eastern City is unknown. People of all nationalities, colors. shaded from fair to dark, the old and young, rich and poor, were hurrying on, some to Sunday School, church, opera, bar-room, and others to work, for as we passed along I could look down from the elevated railway and see many at their sewing machines or in the shops. while others in back streets were apparently tearing each other to pieces. However, I managed to understand that these scenes are common in this city on Sunday, and I must let it pass into the. history of the first part of my trip, and until other important places are written up, I tween this special scenery until I see Ihow others do when they are “At Home.” I am sorry to say that on account of lsuch a short stay in New York and being very weary, I did not go to any place of worship, but heard on every side of the beautiful churches and cultured ministers who break the Blend of Life to the teeming thous- ands who throng the sacred edifices. On Monday, March 19th, I made a tour of New York, and took in such sights as I had time for. “V3 visited the aquarium, and here I met Rev. Mr. Hincks and son of Toronto, who wen: also on route to Europe. and who were enjoying a stroll round the city revious to their departure on the s. s. ensingtou to Antwerp. Passing on to Bmadway one sees hundreds of busy people, some on business, some pleasure, and others of the pom-er clzws hastening they know not where. How strange it seems to find one's self among such a cmwd and yet. be in the very midst of the city of the dead, for here in Triuin church-yard lies someot‘ the State‘s noblest families, who having gone to their reward have found pl‘alrv and rest in Him. earthly things having passed away and to them the noise and din is forever over. A ride on the cars showed me many sights at a glance, and when We, changed to a bus and did Fifth Ave” [saw what New Ymkers call their many mansions, brantifiil (-i-rtainly, but oh what a liltk of gras>y lawns and shady trees, but since one cannot build such places there, while if the-y Essentials, Unity,- in NomEssentials, Liberty ; in all things, Charity." have the flue architecture must lack nature‘s boatlties, so We. must lake it for granted that. these palaces hl‘o just as grand ll- themvnersus the hmnsiuns of England me with all their acres of land and the sunny brightness which surrounds them. Central Park doesn‘t show to ad‘ vantng‘rt‘ in winlvn so I will not, try to drscri we it: doubtless many of your readers have seen it for themselves. The Museum on the grounds of thel Park is very fine, as is also the Obelisk to the right. I also made a visit, to the Stock Ex- change. This was very intorestingl the buying and selling draw crowds of onhmkers. and 't‘mm the, visitors’ gal- lery I noticed long rows of telephones. all going at the. same time, and boys rushing hither and thither with im- portant messages. and to see the lit;- tewd paper about the floor one might imagine five hundred waste paper llasketsll‘ad been upset, and it only needed a janitor to set things right for the mom-ow. Tuesday. I Went up to the top of the W nld Building, twenty-three stories high. and upon looking over the city one could not help but wonder how its millions of people earned their IIVB‘ lihood. or rolled in so many dollars. How tiny every one looked as they walle up the pavement, and even the buildings looked small from such a height, but, when "Liberty" was sighted, 1 could form some idea of its size and hoped it Would remain for centuries to give light to those at sea. In the docks I sighted the. s. s. “0ceanir,” white as snow, and with smoke, stacks as big as a. factory chim- ney, only not so high. From this point my one desire was to see my future home for the next seven days somewhat nearer, and being reminded i that my ticket was to be endorsed at the White Star office before sailing, I started off and having arranged my business, asked permission to go aboard that afternoon, which request was granted. To give a. detailed description of what, I saw on this floating palace is out of question, beyond saying that the Oceanic is tip top and all right in every way. One doesn’t need to go to a. swell hotel to see grandeur, for its all found within the ship of which I am writing. The first-class state. rooms are just grand, large, airy, com- fortableaiul well appointed, and the dining saloon is just fine. Plenty of waiters and stewards, and in tbeli- lu-aries for first and second class pas- sengers one can apply for books just, as in a city library. My particular in- terest was centred in room 24, and looking around I saw my berth where I should sleep, or not sleep, according to the weather and my conscience, to say nothing of being hopelessly sea- sick, especially when there. is no guar- antee against this trying part of ocean travelling. I came away well pleased i with my cozy quarters. Of course it looked so nice, and sweet, and clean, that one wouldn‘t mind being on one of these steamers always If she didn’t tip, and sway, and plunge regardless ofone’s feelings. I saw my baggage on the landing stage, where it had been checked from the Grand Central Depot on my arrival in the c ty on the 125th, and taking a last look at my goods and surroundings, went through the archway to await the proceedings of the following day. The boat left her dock at 8.30 a. in. sharp. All on deck were waving their last fill‘t‘VVells, and those on shore answered back in like manner, and amid a. shower of blessings, good wishes, haudkerchiefs and flags. tears, kisses and players, the Oceanic cut loose, and many who parted that day will meet no more until the Resurrec- tion. At Sandy Book We parted with our pilot, and no one, no matter how anxious they may have been to want the vessel stopped, tried their scheme, consequently no passangers got. off. but one little baby boy came aboaid when our boat was in mid-ocean, and I heard its name was to be “ Oceanic.” in honor of its birth-place. The weather was very pleasant. for March, and only rough on Friday, when all hands hung on to the rails and when the Water washed over the decks and poured into the. ports. and '1 the sides of the boat cracked until We : wondered what Would be the next ' thing: we concluded that after all we l Were as safe on water as on land. ; Since all days had been alike to me, i I was glad of a change, which came in I l l I the shape of the coast of Ireland. Such hurrying on deck to see the sight, only rocks in the distance, and around our vessel were hundreds of gulls wild for the pieces which were swept over- board. By and by the slime bright.- ened, and signals were hoisted to an- , nounce our arrival in British wateis. and at 5 o’clock on Tuesday aftei noon ‘ we put off asseugers and mails furl Ireland, via (Sueenstown, and took on a fOUd supply of fresh fish and water- cresses. These were much enjoyed at tea. I came into the saloon for tea this night, the first time since I had left it on the day I left New York. I spent some time in finishing reading letters handed me when out of port on the American side, and now i wrote No 44 brief messages to tell of our sighting home. or as ed as such, for we were glad of the Night of land, which was to us British soi . Next, morning the steward called is at 4.30, and everyone hurried to brea '- fast at 6 o’clock to be in readiness for our getting in Liver ool in good time. “he reached the docks at 8 n. m., amid a bra \‘y fo and touting horns mid whistles. verybody was wide awake and socmed pleased to reach Dear Old England. At, nnyrute I was. and after fifteen years absence I I'rcngnized sights and sounds I had heard in the. lon ago. Our goods we sent ashore an Were assed customs in the. usual way, and m u few thuLPs I wnsiiylu amass this old city to the Midland Railway where I was to take the 9.35 train for Nottingham. The journey south wasn‘t, very pleasant, as even England isn’t very attractive at this time of the year, and after dashing through tunnels and under bridges and being half perished for the Want of a warm car, we steam- ed into Derby at noon and changed for Nottingham, and reacth here at, 12.4.3. I stepped off the train and met one of my bmthcrs. who had rown fmm a. young fellow into a fu l fled ed con- tractor and a married man. u a few minutes I wentoff to lunch, where I enjoyed my first cup of tea. since leaving Toronto. ‘ §.§_â€"-â€".â€". Maple The people of Maple were shocde to hear of the sudden death on Satur- day last of Mr. Jacob Lalmier, who has been well and favorably known here for many years. He was on his way to the city accompanied by his wife and his son, Mr. Alfred Lahmer. When they reached Elia, not. feeling well, he decided to remain at, the store there. until the return of the others, but in about. fifteen minutes after they had gone he breathed his last. Heart disease is supposed to have been the. cause of his death. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon to the. utherxm cemetery, and was attended by a. large company of relatives and friends. On Monday evening a number of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. Shunk met. at their residence, previous to their departure to Toronto, and presented them with a. veiy pretty Silver-cake. basket and a silver butter dish. ac- companied by an address. A farewell party was also held there by the younger people on Friday evening. Rev. E. Dymond left this week on a. four months" trip to England. Dm-in his absence services will be cunducte in St. Stephen’s by supplies from To- I'ontu. One of the ladies of the village was So annoyed by the musir of the Can- adian Band the other night, that she requested Charlie to have it removed. He assured her that it would be at- tended to at once. There has been no trouble since. Mr. Burlivgh left on Monday for \Voodstnck, where he has accepted a. situation. Mrs. M. and Miss E. Line are visit.- ing friends in Thoruhill. ‘5 ‘~'» ‘ ' .5»: ‘. .l “Eureka Heroes: Oil in the best. , preservative of new leather and the best renovntor of old leather.
