The city Of Palermo yet lay in the darkness
of an autunnal night, although the gloom was
giving place to the dusk approaching sunrise
A rosy blush tinged, the eastern sky and while
the busy city and its crowed harbor stlremained
in scarce lessened shade, ray of light shot ovel
them and glided up the summit Of the lofty
mountain Of Pellegrino on the west. Quickly il
spread lower down its wooded sides-and soon
it.tipped with radience the battlements of the
Torie di Baych, the broad keep of the Royal
palace of Alcazar and the lofty tower of the old
cathedral, besides the dusky harbor. Soon the
toprnost mass of the largest galleys in the port
caught the slanting sunbeams and flag, after
flag, and banner after banner, ofthe many vessels
that either traded with this emporium of Europe,
or fingered amid its pleasures on their way to or
from the Holy Land, fluttered gaily in the morn
ing sun. For awhile their heavy hulls and stor-
ed forecastles threw broad and prolonged sha-
dows upon the dark brown waves besides them;
but in another quarter Of an hour these had shrun
back to the western side Of the several vessels; a
sun ray glanced along the dancing waveles and
the whole Kalah and splendid bay Of Palermo
broke into azure spangles and flashed back smi-
ing welcome to the glorious giver Of It's beauty.
