clo'-men, animal magnetlzers, phrenoogists, meta
shyslcians, poets authors, and all the vast collection
OF trades and professions, which the modern state OF
civilization has engendered.


As our foot first pressed the deck OF the gallant
steamer, which, cutting its way through the noble
Hudson, was fast hurrying us to our destination we
could not help rejecting on the vast changes Of less
than century. We were carried back in thought
to the years, when these shores were resonant only
with the red mans whoop, and the peaceful current
OF the river, only broken by the plash of his hight
paddle: The thought was to us big with prophecy
OF the future destiny OF the Anglo Saxon race Old
forest trees have fallen before its onward march,

ing grounds OF their tathers-cltles have sprung up
in the wilderness where 1t has breathed-and it
shall cease not Its progress, nor fulfil its high mis-.
sion, until the whole world shall own its sway


In our wake lay splendid city, teeming with
rich products brought from far distant cimes-the
centre OF a vast commerce, OF struggling and am
bltous refinement; OF mighty projects and strange
schemes, some destined like airy bubbles to burst
as soon as formed; others to grow into realities at
once wonderful and brilliant Far before us Law the
magic waters'-the cool bowers--the glitterng
pavions-the substantial and elegant hotels Of mo-
dern Saratoga, where, less than century back the
solitary Indian, as he glided through the peaceful
forest, stopped to sip the refreshing spring.


But bark! tinkle, tinkle, goes the bell, that sad
of this le-notice to disburse the quid pro quo for
our transit Well, we felt happy in complying, for
all is comfortable around us. Had steamboat ex-
listed In Noah's time, that sage old gentleman would
undoubtedly have adopted it for the preservation of
