I intended, Mr. ADvoCATE, to send you some fugitive notes, giving the im- pressions of a grown person of the stale persuasion, who has lived a simple country life in Canada, unaccustomed to travel --timid, retiring, reserved --tak- ing his first sea trip. Imagine yourself, my dear Sir, to be such a party and the feeling of !wiliness that comes aver you at first thought of leaving the familiar for the unknown, Then you have the worry, hurry, anxiety and uncertainty about settling your business for a per - of weeks. The farewells are said, you board the train and at last start. You would have met if you were going to New Ycrk on the 24th of August, nothing but G. A. R, people after you struck Suspension Bridge, in fact they had possession of everything in and around Buffalo for 200 miles, Over 400,000 of Johnathan's soils and daugh- ters turned up at Buffalo to honor the meinory of the Ameriean army in the civil war, attd you fought with the. crowds all day long and life became a weariness At last more dead than alive you finally get a seat in the Fen pire State Express to New York over the N. Y. Central. In .a few moments you are whirled out into the open eouu try and you catch the breeze and get your breath again. You are whirled alone at the rate of a mile a miuute, making 450 miles in nine hours, make only four stops and from Albany to New York a run of over three hours without a stop. And you find that time is too precious for this flying de- mon of a. train to stop to take water, so from an iron, long through by the track, she scoops up water into the en- gine, without slackening in the least Then at 10 o'clock p. n1. you land in that great maelstrom of a city—New York. Being a perfect stranger and being advised by it polite American you have made up your mind that it will not do to stop at any hotel of un- certain reputation, therefore you grasp your grips and ask the porter how to get to the Astor House, He sends you up a great stairs, where you land in a great station, and get lost in its immen- sity, b€it eventually, you getinto-a car of the Elevated Railway. Then a great clap like thunder, and you find just over your head another railway still and that atrain has just rusted past. Then you are whirled through the air and stop at City Hall station and get down stairs into a little world --another station. One notice tells you to keep to the right, another says turn to the left, but you are getting worried by this time and you only want to get out of the labyrinth into some street. At last by pure accident you find yourself in the street and nine distinct news- boys- pulling your grips away from you. Of course you set yourself and hang on. Then selecting the ragged - est and biggest of the rascals you tell him to walk before you to the Astor. He says its four. blocks away, but of course he lies. He takes you there all right, and you give him a dime, humil- iated that aittle cuss like thatn 1 knows New York like a book, while a great big inan like you is just as much lost as if he were in a desert. Then you go into a marble hotel; colored boys grasp your grips, whisk you up a flight of marble steps to the clerk's desk, where you register and find that a bed only costs $2. Then you have a good wash and feel better. Being afraid to eat you light your pipe, put your hands under your coat-tails and cooly saun- ter down Broadway as if you owned New York, hotels, railroads and all the rest of it. You see the great sky -scraping build- ings, 18 to 15 stories high, lights to the top, especially the New York Journal buildiag, whose top light you first mis- take for a star. And you take in the rush and the roar, and the vast wealth and the millions of people in a few square miles of compass. And you get philosophical and come to the conclusion that no matter what particular sized toad you were in your own small pud- dle, you are a very small atom in. New York, smaller still in the world and of infinite minuteness in a universe Your utter insignificance appalls you, and you go to.bed to sleep and let the re- morseless world wag its own gait, Then in the early morning up and try to hunt up your baggage, afraid of its being lost or left behind in the crush. at Buffalo, You find that it has not ar- rived and constirnation seizes yott. Then you makke'a rush for the particu- lar warf you want, get lost, finally board a horse car and find it takes the horse nearly an hour to get there. Then you find that your luggage is not there, and you rush back (3 miles) to the.hotel to slay the porter you paid a dollar to, to look after the matter for your He is not there of course,; but a substitute assures you that your bag- gage. just arrived in the city and is then on, its way to the boat. ' You are fagged out, time is short and you rock lessly order,a cab for $1.50 to getto the boat. There you find your trunk on board, badly broken and if of an ir- ritable tetnperarnent you feel like say- ing naughty words, but being a gentle• man you of course restrain yourself. Then you get on board and find that 1 you have. an hour to. spare still. Of course it is hot and you are glad. when time.is up, and you turn out amongst hundreds of other boats and in an hour are out on the breezy ocean for the first. time in your life. And you sniff the salt breezes, and you walk the deck and your lungs expand, and the smoke and the dust and turmoil of cities is all forgotten. Then you chat and begin to get acquaiuted. But the great old sea captivates you and you must get in the stiffest breeze even if it threat- ens to blow you off the deck. And your pulses thrill and you almost feel young; and Iusty again. Then that. same afternoon you thiuk that you promised to write to an importunate editor and you forsake the breeze and sit down in the cabin and make a fool of yourself by writing nonsense to that miserable editor. And just outside the childreu are laughing and dancing, and out on the other side you hear some poor unfortunate in the throes of sea sickness, and,really you feel like laughing. Of course it is wicked, but you can't help a feeling as if you wanted to laugh. But you want fresh air and like a person of sense you go out and get it. On board you of i sit out on the shaded deck, walk, smoke, read and chat. 510 miles out passing the banks of Nane tuckat, (though you see no banks) but fishing schooners are visahle, suddenly within guu shot a hugestreem of water spouts straight up and a massive whale's back sticks out of the water. In a few moments a dozen sea monsters are spouting all around you, a perfect shoal of whales, lashing the water with their gigantic tails as they descend in. to their native element. The birds flutter about, and the breeze blows, and the sea moans its ceaseless and eternal moan. On the deck below women Ile prone, sick beyond shame or care. And then you begin to get acquaint ed and find all to be genial gentle men of culture and travel, One gen tlemen just returning from a year's business trip to the interior of China. gives you three or four hours of details of Chinese life, giving you a mental picture so exaet as never to be dream- ed of before. Then you get into con- versation with a wealthy Bermuda merchant and for an bout live your life in Bermuda. Know more about it than you ever knew before. Then an intelligent Westoru Yankee. Then En- glishmen all with a Cockney accent. And they serve you with sial meals t day and as many more as , yen ask for, and you find yourself Jiving like a prince royal, Then conies a game of cricket ou the deck, and at night cards, whist and cribbage, and all the men smoke. And of course being of a re- ligious turn of mind they put you in a cabin with a Catholic priest from a large English city and you .find him to bea very fine gentleman of culture and tolerance. Then in the morning you have your salt water bath and altogether life be- comes a hazy, oriental dream. Noth- ing to do, so you must rest. And the mad world on land runs its mad race, and you care nothing for a moment for the mad world or its con ceras but float into dreamland on an enchanted palace. J.A.R. Ocean, August 27th, 1897.
