Notwithstanding all that has been said and sung, all that has been engraved and painted, and all that has been carved and sculptured in praise of the marvellous beauties of the Rhine, tlie Rlione, the Po and the Guadalquiver, of Europe, and of tlie fabled rivers of the voluptuous East, we doubt if any of them can excel the noble Hudson in splendour of scenery, variety of embellishment, and that happy blending of simplicity with grandeur, which so clearly characterizes the beautiful " River of the North." To enjoy full}- the de- lightful views " always changing, always new," which, like golden fringes, adorn this un- surpassed stream from its source to its very mouth, one should take passage on a day boat, when the weather is clear, and the temperature such as to enable liira to keep liis posi- tion on the promenade deck without being chilled by the cold, or suffocated by the heat — although in the hottest weather the part of the boat alluded to is the most comfortable that can be found. In short, to truly enjoy the beauties of Hudson River scener}-, one must have nothing else to do, and if that be well done, there will be neither time nor inclina- tion to do any thing else. During the summer season several fine boats, equal in size and excellence to any passenger boats in the world, are continually plying upon tliis river be- tween New York, Albany and Troy, and intermediate points. Some of them start from New York at six, r. m., and arrive at Albany or Troj' by daylight next morning. Others, leaving New York at six or seven in the morning, reacli the end of the voyage early in the afternoon. Tliose who consider " time" as the most valuable of earthly things, will take night boats, and, sleeping during the passage, will have passed a thousand beautiful sights, without having witnessed one of them — but they will have lost no time. Others, who consider tifne to be like nionei/ — worth nothing unless it can be expended — will take a day boat, and these latter worthies we will beg leave to accompany, if they will allow us that privilege. Before we start, we will refer our readers to our engraving of the inte- rior of one of the first-class boats, the " Isaac Newton," which, by the way, is a " night boat" The passage on a first-class night boat is usually $1 50 or $2, (6.^. or 8s. sterling,) berths and meals extra at 50 cents each. In times of competition, berths are included in the fare, and sometimes the latter is reduced to $1. In the day boats the fare is usually from $1 to $2, meals extra at 50 cents each. Second-class boats often take passengers at half these rates, but as they generally take large freights of goods to different points on the river, they make long stoppages, and the voyage to the tourist becomes tiresome. Distance, from New York to Albany, 145 miles; to Troy, 150 miles. The first thing to be done, on entering the boat, is to see that your baggage is properly bestowed, else you will fancy — if you be at all nervous — that at every stopping-place you see your trunk or carpet bag going ashore in some other man's possession — by mis- take, of course. This will cause you needless anxiety, and subject you to manj' useless passages up and down the stairwaj-. As some of the river steamers are not so strict or methodical in their management of baggage matters, as the railways are, 3-ou can, if they refuse to check your baggage, take the matter into your own hands, and, by searching for the boat's barber — who is probably hunting for you, or for any body else from whom lie can earn a shilling — you can get your baggage safely deposited in his tonsorial sanctum, where it will be safe until the end of the voyage, when you need not trouble yourself at all about hi7n, as he will be sure to search you out, spurred on by the expectation of receiving a shilling (6c/. sterling) for his trouble, which you will cheerfully bestow on one whose watchful care has saved j'ou a deal of trouble and anxiety. Your next step is to go to the " ticket office" and purchase your ticket for the trip, and make inquiries as to the exact hours for meals, which, having done, set your watch by the boat's clock, go down below and find out tlie locality of the dining saloon, and the best means of access from the deck ; then take a shawl, or overcoat — no matter how warm the weather is — it may change 7 ""-"" ' „« ™ THE "ISAAC NEWTON.'

As soon as the boat swings off, you take a parting view of the Battery, and turn your attention to the multitude of vessels of every size and from every clime, moving in every direction, and among which your steamer seems to swim with a celerity and grace of motion, that satisfies you at once that were the river as full again of craft there would be no danger of collision. Hoboken, N. J., is the first point worthy of notice after leaving the pier. It is one of the lungs of New York, to which the citizens repair in immense numbers on Sundays and fair week days, for the purpose of breathing a little fresh air, drinking a draught of pure water from the Sybil Cave, and taking a walk through the pleasant Elysian Fields, and, perchance, from there to Weehawken, or Bejgcn Heights. Passing on we amuse ourselves with watching the movements on the river, and the pano- ramic view of the city as it passes on in its endless variety of palaces and huts, of riches and poverty, until we arrive at BulPs Ferry, six miles from the city. This is a favourite summer resort, and many New Yoi'k merchants and capitalists have beautiful residences here. During the warm season ferrj- boats are continually plying between this place and the city, the fare being usually 12^ cents per passenger. One mile further on, and we come to Manhattanville, which may be called the suburban portion of the city. It is a beautiful place, embosomed in the midst of woods and hills, and wears the most charming rural ap- pearance imaginable. Just above the village is Clermont, once the residence of Joseph Bonaparte ; and here, also, is the resting-place of Audubon, the great naturalist. Just on the edge of the village is situated the Lunatic Asylum, commanding a high and healthy position, surrounded by forty acres of land, divided into gardens and pleasure grounds. We next come to Fort Lee. — Just above this place commences the far-famed Palisades, which are com- posed of bold, precipitous rocks, rising to the height of between five and six hundred feet, and extending along a distance of more than twenty miles. In some respects these grand and imposing precipices resemble the Giant's Causewaj' in Ireland. Being fringed with brushwood on the top, and dotted here and there at their base with neat little cottages built at the very water's edge, they afford a very fine appearance as the steamer glides swiftly by. The two views we give of the Palisades, one being from the steamer, and the other from the railroad, will convey an idea of their general appearance. Fort Washington lies nearly opposite Fort Lee, and its history reminds us of the dark and desperate days of the Revolution. In 1776 it fell into the hands of the British, and its garrison of three thousand men were made prisoners of war, but at a cost to the victors of twelve hundred men, and the loss of the ship Mercury, which was so riddled with balls that she sunk soon after the battle. A little further on is Spuyten Devil (spite the devil) Creek, famous in song and story. Yonkers is one of the most ancient settlements in the neighbourhood of the city. Long before the Revolution it was the home of the famous Phillips's family, of which was Mary Phillips, said to have been the fii-st love of Washington. During the Revolution, Yonkers was the scene of many a conflict between the British and Americans. In 1777 a naval action occurred on the river at this point between the American gunboats and two British frigates. Among the many striking residences to be seen in this place, we may mention Fonthill, built, and once occupied by, Edwin Forrest, the distinguished tragedian. Passing on three miles, we come to Hastings, a pleasant, thriving village; and two miles beyond, we reach Dobb's Ferry, named after an old settler who established the first ferry across the river ftt this point. This also has many scenes connected with the Revolution, not the least interesting of which is the sad story of Arnold and Andr6. Four miles above here is 9 ALBANY STEAMER PASSING THE PALISADES, ON HER WAY TO NEW YORK.

Jrvingtcm, named after the distinguished author, ■Washington Irving, whose beautiful cottage of Sunny- side — a representation of which we present al- though lying close to the river, is so completely smothered in dense slirub bery, that it is hardly dis- cernible from tlie decks of the passing steamers. A little further up, and on the opposite side of the river, we come to Picrmont, which was for- merly the eastern terminus of the Erie Railroad. The river is here three miles in breadtli, and the shores are so bold and picturesque as to present to the beholder from the river, some of the most striking and attract- ive pictures to be seen on the route. Two or three miles back of Pierraont is the old town of Tappan, where '\\'ashington for a time held hia head-quarters. It was here also that the unfortunate ^lajor Andre was imprisoned and executed. The jail in which he was confined is still standing, as also is the house in which Washington resided. Pursuing our course, we pass the village of Xijack, on the same side of the river, and come to Tarri/tow», which lies on the opposite side. Tliis place is doubly famous. In the Revo- lution it was the scene of many a rough and sanguinary encounter between tlie lawless bands of the British and American ar- mies, known as Skin- ners and Cow-boys, who chose the ground hereabouts, as being between the two encamp- ments, as the scene for continual strife. Here, too, in the very centre of the town, is the spot where Major Andre was arrested by the patriots Paulding, Williams and A'an Wart, just as he was returning to the British encamp- ment, after his in- PAULDiNG, WILLIAMS A.VD v.\.N' wart's monume.nt. tcrvicw witli the 11 SIXG SING TO THE HIGHLANDS. traitorous Arnold. We present a faithful view of the monument which has been erected to commemorate that great event. Tarr3;town is also famous in the history of old Diedrich Knickerbocker, immortalized b}- Washington Irving. About two miles up the valley, at the back of the village, is the place known as " Sleepy Hollow," so grapliically described by Washington Irving in his interesting legend. By turning to our description of the Catskill Mountains, a correct sketch of one of the many views to be had at " Sleepy Hollow " will be found. Leaving Tarrjtown, we sail on for about five miles, and then touch at Sin^ Sinff. — This village is built upon a hill slope, which rises to a height of 200 feet, and presents a fine appearance from the river. The principal olyect of curiosity here is the State Priaon, -which is a massive structure, the main building being 484 feet long, 44 feet wide, and five stories high. The area covered by the whole establishment is 130 acres. The prison contains one thousand single cells, which unfortunately are almost always filled. Two miles above the village the Croton River, from which the City of New York receives its supj^ly of water, enters the Hudson. We give a view of the Croton Dam on next page. Opposite Sing Sing is a commanding height 250 feet above the river, upon the top of ■which is Rockland Lake, a sketch of which during winter we present. Three miles onward we pass the village of Haverstraw, and three miles beyond that we come to Stony Point. This is another of the famous places which are embalmed in American Revolutionary history. Between this place and Verplanck's point, which lies opposite, was established what was called the King's Ferry, which was commanded by forts on both shores. In May, 1779, these were taken by the British, but, on the following July, Stony Point was retaken by the Americans, and the works destroyed. A light-house now stands upon the extremity of Stony Point. Verplanck's Point is celebrated as being the place at which Henry Hudson anchored his good ship, the "Half Moon," on his first voyage up the Hudson River. The surprise of the Indians in those days may be imagined, at seeing for the first time, a vessel of such pro- portions invading their quiet waters. A writer records the following incident as having occurred at tliat time: — " Filled with wonder, the Indians came flocking to the ship in boats, but their curiosity ended in a tragedy. One of them, overcome by acquisitiveness, crawled up the rudder, entei'ed the cabin window, and stole a pillow and a few articles of wearing apparel. The ship's boats were sent for the stolen articles, and when one of the natives, who had leaped into the water, caught hold of the side of the shallop, his hand was cut off by the stroke of a sword, and he was drowned. This was the first blood shed by these voj'agers. In- telligence of it spread over the countr3-, and the Indians hated the white man ever after." Leaving Verplanck's Point, the river narrows considerably, and the voyager's eye is at- tracted to the Highlands of the Hudson, which begin to rise at this point. On the east shore is the pretty village of Peekskill, and on the west is seen the rugged front of Dunderberg, or Thunder Mountain, at whose base the little village and landing of Caldwell are nestled. It was at this little place that such active measures were taken a few years ago in search- ing for the sunken treasures of Captain Kyd, who was supposed to have scuttled one of his rich sliips in this neighbourhood. After a laborious search of manj"^ months, with diving- bells and other submarine apparatus, the adventurers gave up their profitless speculation, receiving only the jeers ana ridicule of the people as their reward, instead of the weighty bullion which they had anticipated. As the steamer proceeds up the river, the tourist, if he has ever sailed up Loch Lomond (Scotland), will be forcibly struck with the similarity in appearance which the Hudson here presents to it. At one time you will be sailing past islands possessed of all the beauty of Ellen's Isle on Loch Katrine (Scot), with high hills wooded to their tops on each side, whilst, proceeding onwards, the channel of the river appears completely blocked up, till the steamer takes a turn round the base of one of the hills, onljr to open up another scene of 12 VIEW OF CROTOX DAM. The above sketch represents i \iiw ct ilu Crotdii Darn, fiotn whence issues the water siiii- plied to New York City. This Dam is 2.50 feet long, 40 feet hi^jh, 70 feet wide at the bottom, and 7 feet at the top. From it the water pro- ceeds through tunnels in the soha rocks, cross- inir valleys by embankments, and rivers by bridges until it reaches the Harlem River, ! across which it is carried through iron pipes laid on the roadway of the magnificent High I Rridgc, of which we give a sketch elsewhere. The building and other necessary equipments I c nnnttd witii biinging the water into New York, occupied between 7 and '^ years, and cost about 14 millions of dollars. The fountain reser- voir is about 4i* miles from New York. Croton Station, on the Hudson River Railroad, is the nearest station to it, and, independent of the fine situation and scenery about the vicinity of the dam, the spot may be seen at Pine's Bridge, (seen in the foreground of the above sketch,) where Major .\ndre crossed the Croton River after his interview with Arnold. 13 ROCKLAND LAKE AND ICE CUTTING. Rod-land Lake, a clear aiid crystal body of water, about four miles in circumference. It is from this beautiful lake that tlie citizens of New York obtain their supply of ice during the summer months, and if use be the criterion of worth, no mine in California has given more wealth to the world than has been cut from the frozen bosom of Rockland Lake. In the above engraving will be seen the Ice Company's men busy at work reaping the icy harvest, and storing it in the ice-house at the edge of the lake. That ice-house is cap- able of stowing away about 20,000 tons of ice, and preserving it completely from the effects of the external heat durinir the summer season. 14 Anthony's nose, west point and Cornwall. great magnificence, and to reveal the Highland beauties of hill and dale, clothed in their brightest summer foliage. The Highlands — as they are well named — extend along the course of the river about 25 miles, and during tlie whole trip, no portion will be belter en- joyed until the last heiglit is reached near Newburg. On rounding Dunderberg Mountain, will be seen Ant/ioni/s Kose, 1128 feet high, which is as high as any respectable nose can be expected to turn up. Two miles further on, the Sugar Zoa/ reaches up to an elevation of 800 feet — whilst on the west side Butlfrmilk Falls are seen descending over the face of the liill. In some of these Highland passes on the river, are sometimes to be found numbers of wind- bound vessels, tacking about, and presenting a beautiful sight as they wriggle themselves like so many eels, in their attem|>ts to get into a broader part of the river. Before reach- ing the next stopping-place we have to round Constitution Island, which, in Revolutionary times, was fortified, the remains of the works still being perceptible. From this island to West Point a chain was thrown across the river as an obstruction to the enemy's ships. Some links of this defence are still to be seen in the neighbourhood. We now reach West Point. The Revolutionary reminiscences connected with this place, the unrivalled beauty of the scenery, and its being the seat of the principal military school in the coun- ivy, all combine to make tliis one of the most attractive points on the river. It is for this reason that we have devoted so much space to pictorial illusti'ations of West Point and vieinit\', and these we shall distribute through our pages, without much regard to their immediate connection with our descriptive matter. The United States Military Academy at West Point, was established by Congress in 1802, and is entirely controlled and supported by government. There are a large number of cadets here, who are educated gratuitously in a course of studies through a period of five years, and embracing every theme required for a thorough knowledge of the military art. At the expiration of his studies, each student is expected to continue eight years in the public service unless sooner excused. In the time of the Revolution West Point was considered a place of great importance, as it was tlie great key to the river, and it was this place that the infamous Arnold would have given into the hands of the British, had not Andr^, the agent in the affair of treachery,' been so providentiall}' arrested at Tarrytown, as before stated. If the tourist has time, he will be well repaid by spending at least one day in a visit to West Point, and in examining its many points of interest. On leaving West Point, we proceed on until we come to Cronest, which towers to a height of 1428 feet, and is called one of the grandest moun- tains in the Highland range. George P. Morris thus sings of this prominent peak: " ^Yhe^e the Hudson's wave, o'er silvery sands, Winds throuj,'h the hills afar. And Cronest, like a monarch stands, Crowned with a single star." After passing this romantic locality, we reach Butter Hill, or, as Mr. N. P. Willis has re-christened it, the Storm King, which is 1.500 feet high, and the last high range of hills on that side of the river. Passing on, we reach Cold Spring, which is built upon a steep ascent, from behind which rises Bidl Hill, whose shadow falls upon Undercliff, the rural residence of George P. Morris, the poet. A short distance further on, and we come to Cornwall Landing, above which is the seat of Mr. N. P. Willis, named Idlewild, sur- rounded with all the natural romantic beauties which we fancy any poet would delight to dwell amongst. Shortly after leaving this beautiful place, ve come to the important town of Newhxirg. (See page 18it21.) 15 WEST POINT. Thaddeus Kosciusco was born iu Lithuania, in 1756, and was educated in War- saw, Poland. He after- wards removed to Paris, where he continued his studies. While in this latter city he made the acquaintance of Dr. Frank- lin, who, on learning the intention of the young adventurer to visit Amer- ica for the purpose of aid- ing in the struggle for in- dependence, gave him a flattering letter of intro- duction to General Wash- ington. On his arrival in America, he was appointed engineer in the army, with the rank of colonel, in Oc- tober, 177t), and soon after went to West Point and superintended the erection of the defences of that place. He was highly esteemed by the army, and received the thanks of Congress for his ser- vices. At the close of the war he returned to Warsaw, where he remained until the war of KOSCIUSCO'S MONUMENT, WEST POINT.

The above monument was erected liy tlie cadets of West Point, iis a tribute of re>in'(t for his many pii\;iU' virtues and acknowledged worth. The above engraving will serve as a companion the one given below. This one shows us the river on its downward course, u both shores, as seen from the water.

Nature, and o-ive as faithful an outline of living scenes as it is possible to present, yet it must be confessed that no art, however high may be its attainment, can do exact justice to the exquisite subjects we have endeavoured to illustrate. To thoroughly enjoy these splen- did views, one must look with his own eyes, and hear with his own ears, for in scenes like the above the very murniurings of the atmosphere " bear pleasant sounds along." The view given of the Hudson Uiver, as seen from the Battery at West Point, is as pleas- ino' to the eye as it is truthful to nature. The opposite range of mountains stretching into the distance as far as tiie eye can reach; while the miijestic river winds its way in grace- ful ^nl^ve^^, bearing upon its placid bosom the buo\-ant steamer, which cleaves its unerring cour-e as true, and almost as swift as the arrow speeds from the bow, leaving the smaller craft to wage a harmless warfore against their, sometimes, natural enemies — wind and tide; all these, and a host of other indescribable scenes, serve to make a picture that is seldom equalled even in this region of magnificent sights. The other engraving of West Point was tiiken from Fort Putnam. This fort was erected in the days of the Revolution in consequence of its conmianding position, it being situated on the top of a hill nearly GOO fet-t al ove the river's edge. Its elevated position, from which not only the river, but the country for miles around is plainly visible, makes it an admirable point fi'om which to pl)oio.rr;iph the scenic beauties which are so lavishly spread around this highly-favoured region.

This beautifully ro ruantic spot, represent- ed in the aceonipaiiv- ing engraviug, is situ- ated on Denny's Point, just opposite Newburg. When Washington held his head-quart evs in tlie old stone mansion, a short distance south of Newburg village, he was in the Lai it of fre- quently crossing the river, for the purpose of spending an hour or two at this point, which subsequently took his name. Here the great chief would sit and contemplate the quiet beauties of the scene spread out before him. And here, it is, perhaps, not too much to suppose, he entered into some of those calm but serious reflec- tions resulting in the fm-mation of those great plans which soon after obtained victory over the British army, in the unconditional surrender of the claims of England, and in the com- plete recognition of the independence of the United Colonies. The following engraving represents one of tlie many beautiful villas which adorn the 1 auks of the Hudson. These residences are mostly owned and occupied by I'etired mer- chants and other men of wealth from K^ew York, who, tired with the noise and confusion of the great city, come here to eke out their renuiiniug days in the quiet and wholesome enjoyments of rural life. These villas are gen- erally erected on or near the summits of gentle slopes of ground facing the river, and just far euough away from tin- noisy town to be iwr from annoyance by its bustle and exciteinent, aud just near enough to liave quick and easy ac- cess to its markets and stores. Tiiere are some fine villas on the Hud- son, which are only occu- pied during the summer months, their owners preferring the gaieties of the city to the sober quiet of the country, during the long winter WKKBlSSS^si^i^s&iitim season. me. saegknt's villa, nkar pkekskill. 20 Washington's head-quarters to placentia.

It •was here that the Rev- olutionary army was finallj- dii^lmiidcd at the close of the war in 1783. Opposite New- burg, on the east side of the river, is Break Neck Motmtain, which was supposed to have resembled nTitrk'sface, and can be easily seen from the deck of the steamer when ap- proachni; Pallopcl's Is- land. The story cou- Dccted with t.liis moun- tain is as follows : "Some Irishmen were quarrying for granite once, when one of them put a blast of powder before the Turk's face, saying he thought the old fellow would like to have his nose l)lowfd, and the nose was completely blowed away. The admirers of the curious and beautiful think that the Irishman, who was shortly after killed, was justly hurried from the world for his barbarity to the works of Nature." A view of the defaced /are as it appears now is presented on a following page. rtKhkill, which lies nearly opposite Newburg, numbers about 2,000 inhabitants, and contains many fine residences of retired New York merchants. Besides the Revolutionary legends connected with the history of Fishkill, it possesses an interest as being the scene of many of the leading incidents in Cooper's novel of the "Sp}-." Two miles northeast of Fishkill Landing is the Verplanck House, interesting as having once b^en the head- quarters of Baron Steuben, and the place in which the famous Society of the Cincinnati was organized in 1783. Passing Low Point, three miles above Fishkill, and the villages of Kew Jfanihurrf, ^fnrl■ borovf/h and Barneyat, we reach the largest city on the river between New York and Albany, PoHfjhkccpxic, which is 76 miles from New York, and the lialf way station on the Hud- son River Railroad. It is a fine city, containing 15,000 inhabitants, and is a place of much business importance. It was settled by the Dutch 150 years ago, but at present bears but little evidence of its Teutonic origin. It is built upon an elevated plane, half a mile east of the river, and is regularly and symmetrically laid out. Professor Morse, the inventor of the magnetic telegraph, and B. J. Lossing, the historian, reside here.

After this, and ■when all the seats are replaced, and the congregation seated as before, one of the elders delivers a discourse, when the seats are removed again to give place to another dance of a different style, and to another hymn. This time the dance is of a more lively character, with the action of the arms, thrown up and down, and clapping of hands in regular order. In this way are several hymns sung and danced to, and addresses delivered ; and however much parties, on reading the accounts of such, may be disposed to smile, no one can wit- ness tlie devotional exercises of these people, such as they are, without being impressed with feelings of the deepest respect and solemnity ; and however much they may differ from the Shakers in opinion, they will be ready to give them full credit for thorough conscien- tiousness, and faith in what they believe to be right. Occasionally the "spirit manifests itself" by one or more of the congregation getting up and dancing or whirling round and round with extraordinary rapidity, and the parties apparently being perfect!}^ unconscious of everj- thing passing around them. In this way will they continue to whirl and dance for nearly an hour without intermission. As may be well known, all property belonging to the Society is held in common by the members. All who join it do so voluntarily, after perusing tlie rules and regulations of the Society, which are submitted to all before they join. Tlie Society is divided into three divisions, or classes, viz. : the senior, junior, and noviciate class. The senior class SHAKER SETTLEMENT, NEW LEBANON. dedicate themselves and all they are possessed of "to the service of God and the support of the pure gospel, forever," after they have had time for reflection and experience, .\fter being thus admitted as partners in the Community, the relationship is landing forever. The second class of members ore those who have no families, but who, in joining the So- ciety, retain the ownership of any private property they had when they entered it. It is according to the laws that if any one leaves the Community they can take nothing with them but what they brought; that they receive no wages for the services they may have performed, and caimot recover any property they may have presented to the Community. The novii-iates. again, are those who, on joining the Society, choose to live by themselves and retain the management of their temporal affair? in their own hands. Such are received as sisters and brothers so long as they fultil the requirements of the Society in every other respect. Everv one — male and female — works, from the preacher down to the youngest child who is able; and not a moment of the hours of labour is occupied but by the busy and attentive performance of their duties. Throughout their workshops, meeting-houses, dwellings, etc., the utmost order prevails, accoinpaniei] by the most scrupulous cleanliness of j)]ace and person. Although they have none of the anxieties of life, or that frightful spectre — the fear of want — ever before them, and with no personal or private ambition to carry out, yet all are willing, diligent, and faithful workers, and all appear to be cheerful, comfortable and happy. The Community at New Lebanon are, from all we can understand, a most intelligent botly. They pursue the same system of education as that of the common schools of the United States, for although they lead a life of celibacy after they join the body, the children of those who come from the "outer world" are regularlj^ tauglit and brouglit up in the doctrines and with the ideas of the Community, and from that source, as well as re- ceiving all orphan children who are sent to them, there is a never-failing supply of schol- ars. The children are dressed siniilarlj' to grown-up members. They possess an excellent library, and from the newspapers regularly received, the members are kept " posted up" as to whatever is going on in the wicked world around them. Their conduct and character, from all accounts, is of the most exemplary kind, living up, in a high degree, to the principles they profess. In their relations with the world around them their business character for honour and uj)rightness is most undoubted, whilst tlie articles they manufacture stand deservedly high in public estimation, the very terra "Shaker" being a sort of guarantee that the article is genuine. They carry on their botanical and all other operations in the most scientific manner, and have machinery of the most improved description for enabling them to produce the arti- cles manufactured in the best pos.sible manner. We may mention the somewhat singular fact, of this society, having taken root so far back as exactly one hundred years ago, in the City of Manchester (Eng.). In the year 1758, a woman named Ann Stanley, then the wife of a blacksmith, embraced the views of Shakerism from the disciples of some French religionists who held these, or similar views there, but suffering great persecution on account of her belief, she, along with a few others, emigrated to America, where she founded a Community at Niskayuna, (Watervliet,) near Albany, where the sect still have a Community. When she arrived in America, she took her maiden name of Lee, and thus the name of Mother Ann Lee is devoutly remem- bered till this day by the sect, they looking upon her, as, they say, the revelation of the female nature of God to man, in the same way as The Christ was manifested in the person of Jesus, as the revelation of the male nature of God to man. During a great revival movement in 1780, large numbers joined Ann Lee's Community, and since then they have spread into different sections of the States — now numbering eighteen Communities — with a total of about 4,000 members, and affording a curious, interesting, and instructive feature in social economics, 29 SCENERY" OF THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. ^^=\ N - ^ |5. %M =-^^:r^ ^i*- 4 ^ *^^ iy^'' ^T^^A% SCENE IX THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. One of the most agi-eeaWe trips for the tourist, when at New York, is for him to visit the famous scenery of the Catslvills. There, a variety of wood, river, and mountain scene- ry will be enjoyed, not to be met with in most places. The trip there and back, can be made in 3 or 4 days from New York, and at not much expense. Tlie charge at the Mountain House is $2.50 (or 10s., stg.,) per day — although cheaper accommodation is to be had as well. Near the Mountain House is said to be the site where Mr. Washington Irving located the scene of his celebrated novel of " Rip Van Winkle." Few places of summer resort are more frequented by tourists, whether as artists in search of some charming scenery to study, the invalid in quest of bracing air, or the gen- eral traveller in search of the "lions" in America. 30 SYLVAN LAKE, CAT5KILL MOUXTAIXS. A good, general view of tlaso inoiintains is obtained from tlie dock of the steamers which pass up and down upon tlio Hudson. Strangers take either the Albany steamer, from New York, or Albany, to Catskill, on the Hudson, (111 miles from New York) or the Hudson River Railroad to Oakhill Station, thence per ferry across. From Catskill Village, pa^sengers are conveyed per stage to the MountJiin House, 12 miles distant, but the road being ver^- steep, it takes 4 hours to go that distance. The first view we present, "Scene in the Catskill Mountains," is from a paintin;,' bv J. F. Kensett, an American artist, the only objection to which we liave is, tiie introduction of two of the aborigines — of the district, we presume — a fault rather common, we think, amongst Anuriean artists, to give etfcct in pictures, whilst such figures can uow uuly be introduced with truth in such districts as Minuesota. THE UPPER OR SYLVAN LAKE-CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. The other engravings which follow are without any such ndditions. being from photo- graphs, taken last year of the scenes represented. To quote from a writer who has visited this locality : — •'The ride to the foot of the mountain is not specially interesting; but the ascent, by a very circuitous route, from every successive openinir and turn of which some new and more extensive vista is presented to the eye continually, is in a hitrh deirree inspirinir and delightful. And when at length the lofty eminence is reached, there opens, from the front of the noble edifice, a prospect of vast extent and beauty; embraeinc an apparently end- less succession of woods and waters, farms and villases, towns and cities, spread otit as in a boundless panorama, over which all inequalities of surface are overlooked. The beauti- ful Hudson appears narrowed in the distance, with numerous vessels scattered along its sil- 31 KAUTERSKILL FALLS, CATSKILL MOUNTAINS, very line, discerned as far as the eye can reacli, by tlieir canvas gleaming in the 6un, and •with the trailing cloud of smoke irum steamboats almost constantlj' in sight. " The view embraces an arta of about 70 miles north and south. Far in Uie eastern out- line risi.' the Taglianic Mountains, and tlie highlands of Counecticut and Massachusetts. To the left are seen the Green Mountains of Vermont, stretching away in the north till their blue sunmiits are blended with the sky. At other times all the prospect below is enveloped in a rolling sea of mist and cloud, surging with tlie wind, and presenting ever new and fan- ciful forms to the sight. Thunder storms are not imfrequentl^- seen passing below the spectator, while the atmospliere is delightfully clear and cool around him." The preceding engraving represents one of two lakes of great beauty, whieli lie close to- getlier, overlooked from the north mountain, and a sliort way from the Mountain House Hotel. All who are acquainted with this beautiful sheet of water, will at once recognize it in tlie above sketcli, which we have iiad engraved from one of the series of photographs taken tliere last year. For a pleas;int walk alongside its shores, a row on its waters, or for practising the " gentle art" with fishing-rod and line, few spots present greater attrac- tions. KAUTERSKILL FALLS. Tlie Sylvan Lake, already alluded to, is tlie source from which proceed the beautiful Kanter'^kill Falls, represented above, as also the source of the Kauterskill River, which finds its way into the Hudson, at Catskill Village. The falls are situated about 2 miles 82 SLEEPY nOLLOW, CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. from the Mountain House. Cooper, the novelist, in liis novel of the " Pioneer," thus mon- lions tliem : — " The water comes croaking and winding among llie rocks, first, so slow ihat a trout might swim into it, then starting and running like anj- creature that wanted to make a fair spring, till it gets to where the mountain divide:^, like the cleft foot of a deer, leaving a deep hollow for the brook to tumLle into. The first pitch is nigh 2uO feet, and the water looks like flakes of snow before it toueiu-s the bottom, and tlien gathers itsilf together aiiain for a new start ; and maybe flutters over 50 feet of flat rock before it falls for anotlier 100 feet, wlien it jumps fi-om shelf to shelf, first running this way and tiiat way, striving to get out of the hollow, till it finally geti to the plain." VIEW DOWN SLEEPY HOLLOW— CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. As another view of one of the cascades, we present one taken from the ledge of rocks, over which the water rusiies silently but swiftlv over the precipice, down into the beauti- ful gorge of "Sleepy Hollow." TIte Faims Leap.— Such is the title given to the romantic scene represented by the annexed engraving. One can hardly imagine a more charming spot than this, when the ripe sum- mer has dressed the trees in their green suits, and tlie gushing waters are swollen just enougli to give impetuous force to their sweeping motion. Tliis fascinating place is a favourite resort for poetic and reflective minds, who are sometimes detained here for hours together, as if charmed into inactivity and held in physical, if not menUil, bondage bj' the txquisite beauty of the unequalled picture spread out before them. 33 FAWN'S LEAP — CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. THE FAWN'S LEAP. Round Top. — Tliis is tlie title of the highest peak on the Catskill Mountains, being 3,800 feet from tlie level of the river. The view from the summit of this acclivity is grand and beautiful bejond description. High Peak is the second eminence in height, reaching to an altitude of 3,720 feet, and should be visited by all tourists. Stony Clove is a wild mountain pass, situated about six miles from the Mountain House, but well worth a long walk to see. Plauterkill Clove is another grand pass, five miles below the Kauterskill passage. A mountain torrent, combining all the sublime beauties of glen, rock and cascade, winds romantically through it. TJie Mountain House, Catskill. — This is a large first-class hotel, resting near the edge of a precipitous cliff full 2,200 feet above the Hudson River, and from which a most magnifi- cent view of the surrounding country is obtained ; embracing not only the thriving vil- lages which adorn either side of the Hudson, but commanding the distinct proportions of the long range of New England hills to the eastward. The site of tliis house is made interesting by the remark of old Leather-Stocking (in Cooper's " Pioneers,") who described it as a spot, ' whence creation might be seen at a single glance." Within a mile of the house is the place where Irving's "nappy" hero, Rip Van Winkle, had his famous sleep of fifteen years' duration. The Laurel House is a small and very well-conducted hotel, situated close to the Falls, and overlooking the magnificent glen. This house is open all winter, and its charges are somewhat lower than at the other house. Guides. — Id order to see and enjoy all the beautiful sights as well as to learn their legendary history — none the less interesting if tinctured witli fable — it is advisable that six or more tourists should clnb together, and engage a guide to conduct them to the various places of interest. Such a course will save much time, and introduce many novel sights that might be lost to the solitary stroller. 34 SARATOGA. SARATOGA SPRINGS Where is the traveller of any pretensions in either Europe or America, who has not heard of this, the renowned Ilarrowgate of America ? And where is the European who visits America for the first time, or the American tourist who has not spent, or does not intend to spend a few days at this most celebrated of all the inland watering places ? The British visitor will find life at Saratoga a repetition to a great extent of that at Harrow- gate (England). At both, there are the mineral waters which visitors swallow both " fast and furious," without stint; the same large foun- tains or springs, where the grave, the gay, the lively and crippled all meet to quaff of one of nature's peculiar wines; the same large ho- tels which are similar in character and good cheer; the same pure and bracing air; the same pic-nics, pedestrian and driving excursions; the same early rising and going to bed late, after the identical "hop" has been indulged in, and where the same Cupid has probably been letting fly his darts. The picture of life at Sara- toga and Harrowgate are almost identical, one of the most remarkable diiferences being the greater variety of character which one meets at the queen of American watering places, in men from all parts of the world, and with con- sequently greater peculiarities and marked char- acteristics. From the sunny South of Fhirida, to beyond the Banks of Newfoundland, will all the various tyjjes of American character be met with ; and, of itself, not the least interesting subject for contemplation, by the physiognomist more particularly, when at Saratoga. SARATOGA. Above we present a faithful sketch of the 1 the right, and Union Hotel immediately oppo- town of Saratoga, with Congress Hall Hotel on ' site to it. 35 SARATOGA LAKE — GLENN's FALLS, ETC. SARATOGA LAKE. The above sketch represents a beautiful sheet of water 9 miles long, 3 miles wide, situated about 3 1-2 miles from the Springs, and 8 miles west of the Hudson, into which its waters flow through the Fish Creek. Saratoga Lake is visited by almost every so- journer at the Springs ; the beauty of the lake, the change of scene it presents, the delicious tish which are there caught, and the delightful excursions made upon its waters, as well as amongst its woods, all conspire to render it one of the great attractions of Saratoga. There are about twelve difTerent springs in the neighborhood of Saratoga ; but those chiefly resorted to are nine in number, of different names, the waters of some of them being as in- jurious as the others are beneficial in certain complaints. The chief foimtain is known by the name of Congress Spring, with an invariable tempera- ture all the year round of fifty degrees Fah- renheit. The hotels are numerous and unexception- able, at from $2 to §2 50 (8s. to 10»\) per day, with numerous excellent boarding houses, at very reasonable charges. The scenery of and around Saratoga does not call for special remark, being for the most part tame ; yet several pleasant excursions may be made in the neighborhood, more particularly to the lake, noticed above. Saratoga is situated 185 miles from the city of New York, and 239 miles from Boston, rail all the way. From New York proceed by rail, or steamboat, up the Hudson — " the Rhine of America" — to Albany, 1'44 miles, thence per rail, 39 miles, to Saratoga. Tourists bound for Lake George from Sara- toga proceed by the Troy and Whitehall Rail- road for 15 miles to Moreau Station, thence by stage for other 15 miles on plank-road to Cald- well, the southern end of the lake. On the way thither, Glenn's Falls, 9 miles, and Bloody Pond, 4 miles from the lake, may be visited. GLENN'S FALLS. The bold and rugged scenery of this place is in striking contrast with the tame and quiet country in and near Sara- toga. The passage of the river is through a wild, romantic ravine and the writhing waters rush in a furious descent of 75 feet over a rocky precipice 900 feet in length. Cooper, in his '' Last of the Mohicans," has chosen this neigh- bourliood as the scene of some of his most inter- esting chapters. BLOODY POND. About midway between Glenn's Falls and the lake we pass a dark glen, in which lie the famous waters of Bhwdtj Pond, and close by is WiU'Mms' Rod; marking the spot where fell Col. Williams in an engagement with the French and Indians in 1755. The slain in this sanguinary battle were carelessly thrown into the waters near by, since known as Bloody Pond, 36 LAKE GEORGE. Thi8 is esteemed one of tlie most beautiful of tlie K-sser lakes of America, and is situated near the eastern border of the State of New York, and empties its waters in a northerly direction into Lake Cliamplain. It lies north and south, is 36 miles long, and from 2 to 3 miles wide. Its elevation is near 250 miles above the Hudson River. The water is remarkably clear and transparent, the bottom being plainly seen at several fathoms depth. The scener}- along its banks is extremely i)ictures(pie, and very pleasing to the lover of natural beautj'. The lake is dotted over with numerous little islands of various forms and sizes, the number of which is stated b\- the popular voice to be equal to the number of daj's in a 3-ear. Many of these are respectable in size, and very fertile ; others are dimi- nutive and barren. Fish, such as salmon ;riut, silver-trout, brook-trout, jierch, pike, etc., abound, and are of good size, and easily caught. The Indian name of this lake is Iloricon or the Silvery Waters. They also called it Caniderioit or the tail of the lake, in reference to its position near the southern termina- tion of Lake Champlain. By the French it was named Lac Sacrainerit, signifyin>j the purity of its waters. The first and the last names are really significant of the purity and clearness of tiiis dflightful lake, which is the more noticeable from the fact that all the other lakes on either side are more or less colored and impregnated witii lime. We annex a few sketches of the most beautiful portions of its scenery. CALDWELL— LAKE GEORGE. The above sketch represents the village of Caldwell, which is situated at the southern extremity of the lake, and near the ruins of the old fort. It is one of the most frequented points, altliough not the most retired in this charming district. The neighborhood of Toole's Inn, a few miles eastward, as well as Bolton and Garfield, will be found more secluded, and admirably adapted for angling pursuits, and where ample and excellent accommodation is to be met with. Caldwell is a small village, containing a population of about 200, and several handsome private residences, two first-class hotels, two churches, court-house, jail, etc. The ruins of Fort William Henry, which are close to the hotel of that name, were built by the British in 1755. A mile south-east are the ruins of Fort George. 37 CALDWELL — THE ISLANDS ON LAKE GEORGE. LAKE GEORGE. FROM CALDWELL. The above illustration represents the pretty little steamer Minnehaha leaving the head waters of the lake, from which she proceeds to Ticonderoga — 36 miles distant — at the other end of tlie lake, where she lands her passengers, gives ample time for a survej- of that locality, and returns the same day to Caldwell. The trip is one which ouglit to be taken by all tourists; reminding one very much, in many respects, of the sail on Loch Katrine (Scotland), to whose beauties those of Lake George have been considered equal. THE ISLANDS 0¥ LAKE GEORGE. D.UEINO the course of the steamer up the lake, the tourist will have an opportunity of ■eeeing the various islands which cover tlie face of the lake at particular points, leading us bact -toitli* recollection and a comparison when threading through amongst the Thousand 38 ENTRANCE TO THE NARROWS. islands on the noble St. Lawrence, or wiieii {>as?ii)g up Loch Lomond, the Queen of the Scottish lakes. We liere quote the words of Addison Ricliards, nn American writer, who says regarding this particular portion of liie lake : '• With every changing hour — dawn, sunset and night — with the varying weather from the calm of drowsy morning to the eve of gatliering siorm — these islands are found in ever- changing phases. As they sleep for a moment in the deep quiet of a passing cloiid-sliadow, you sigh for rest in their cooling bowers. Anun the sun breaks over them, and you are still as eager to mingle in their now wild and lawless revelry-. You may shake up the lake like a kaleidoscope, seeing witii every varying change a new picture by simply vary- ing your relative position to these islands. Now you have a foreground of pebbly beach, or, perchance, of jagged rock, or of forest debris, with the spreading water and the distance- tinted hills to fill up the canvas; or, peeping beneath the pendent boughs of the beech and maple, an Arcadian bower discloses vistas of radiant beauty." The islands, as passed, come in the following order: — Diamond Inland, near Durham Bay, once the scene of a sharp engagement between the troops of General Ikiri^nyne's army and the Americans, in 1777. Lomj Island, near Harris Bay, where Montcalm moored his bateaux in 1757. Dome Island, where Putnam's troops bivouacked whilst he went to acquaint General Webb with the movements of the enemy. Bolton, situated at the widest part of the lake. From the highest elevation in the vicinity extensive and magnificent views are obtained of Lake Champlain and surrounding country. Excellent sport for the rod and the gun is to be had there. Tongue Mountain will now be reached, projecting considerably into the lake, with Black Mountain rising up behind it. Shelving Roek, on the eastern shore, the pallisades of the lake, and Fourteen Mile Island, situated in front of the last-mentioned roek. The steamer now approaches the " Narrows," and to all appearance as if at the end of the delightful journey, but only to proceed with a change of scene which we now notice. ::iWA-f '''^m^yiw*^^ EXTRAXCE TO THE NARROWS. FROM THE SOUTH. Almost the finest portion of the trip is when passinc: through the Narrows. At every turn the steamer takes in threading throuerh the apparently mountain barriers, new views and scenes of beauty are presented to the eye. At one point, in passing one of the nar- 39 LAKE GEORGE — FORT TICONDEROGA. row^, a broad expanse of lake opens up to view ; a distant island is seen resting on its soft reflection in the calm water; beyond that is a neek of the main land, darkened by the shadow of a neighbouring hill; and, in the extreme distance, a massive mountain, raising its bold top into the clouds, and rendered soft, blue and indistinct by the intervening at- mosphere; while several islets, clothed with rich verdure, shroud the foreground of the picture in deep, effective shadow. At other spots the prospect widens, revealing a sweep of tlie lake, studded with islands of various shape and size, whose verdure is tipped and streaked with flickering gleams of light. Sabbath-Day Point — The first place of interest after leaving the i!^arrow9 is the point made memorable b}- tlie landing of Gen. Abercrombie, who here sought refreshment and rest for his army on a bright Sabbath morning in 1758 ; hence the name of " Sabbath-Day Point." Two years before a small band of colonists had been attacked and defeated with great slaughter by a party of French and Indians. In 1776 this place was made a scene of strife between a body of Americans and a party of Tories with their Indian allies, which resulted in the defeat of the latter. Rogers a Slide. — This place is named after a Major Rogers, who, while flying from a party of Indians in 1758, exhibited a specimen of what in our days would be called Yankee cun- ning, by changing his snow shoes from toe to heel so as to make his pursuers think he had walked over a huge precipice, when in fact he had slidden cautiously down to a lower point, and from thence to the ice below, where he snapped his fingers at his foe, and made good his escape. On the opposite side of the lake at this point is to be seen the precipice known as Anthony's Nose. Prisoner's Island. — Two miles further on we come to the island which obtained its name from the circumstance of its having been used during the war as a place of confinement for prisoners taken by tiie English. Howe's Landing. — The next point of interest is named after Gen. Howe, who was killed at the attack of Ticonderoga. The English, just previous to that event, landed their troops at this place, wliich lies near the foot of the lake, and terminates the list of interesting objects on the sheet of " silvery waters." Fort Ticonderoga. — On leaving Lake George, a walk or ride of about four miles brings us to Fort Ticonderoga, which lies on the stream of water which connects Lake George with Lake Champlain. The fort, which in fact belongs to the last-mentioned lake, is made famous on account of its historical associations. It was originally erected by the French, in 1756, and being surrounded on three sides by water, and protected by a large swamp on the fourth side, it was considered a place of great strength. In 1758, the English with 16,000 men under Gen. Abercrombie, attacked the fort, and for two days fought with a valour and pei-severance deserving of success. But the impreg- nability of the place, and the constant fire of the garrison of 6,000 French from behind their impenetrable breastworks, were too much for the brave besiegers, who were obliged to retreat with a loss of 2,000 men. Lord Howe being among the first to fall. In the following year, however, the fort was taken, with scarcely any resistance, by Gen. Amherst, and it remained in the hands of the English until the commencement of the Re- volutionarj' war. In 1775, Congress directed the famous and eccentric Ethan Allen to head his band of " Green Mountain boys" and take the fort, which duty Ethan accomplished without shed- ding a drop of blood. On reaching the shore opposite the fort, Allen ha|ipily procured the services of a boy named Nathan Beman, who was in the habit of playing in the fort, and was acquainted with every nook and corner in it. With his little guide, and 8.3 men, he crossed the stream, and being too impatient to wait for the rest of his troops, he deter- mined to attack the enemy with the force he had. After makitig a brief but inspiring speech to his men, he led them rapidly up the heights. It was just at the dawn of day, and so cautious and silent had been the march that, on arriving at the gates, they were found wide open, and the first intimation the sentinels had of the presence of the foe, was the sight of Allen iind his men walking into the barrack-yard. After securing the aston- 40 LAKE CIIAMPLAIX. i.-lu(l guards, Allen drew up liis men on tlie pannJe ground, who announced their pri-sence to the sleepy garrison by giving three hearty cheers. Allen then hastened to the room of the eominandant, and demanded the iniint-diate surrender of the fort. The aslonislu-d coniinaiulant, S|iringing from his bed and rubbing his eyes, as if bewildered b}' a lain. As our limits will not |)ern)it a complete description of this famous Lake, we must be content to point out such of the principal objects of interest as will be of most value to the tourist or to the general reader. Lake Chaniplain runs nearly north and south, and is 1'20 miles in length ; its breadth varying from one-fourth of a mile to 13 n)iles, covering an area of 500 miles. Its waters are well stored with all the varieties of fish usually found in the larger lakes. The lake was discovered in 1609, by Sanuiel Champlain, the founder of Quebec, wlio, after a bloody conquest of a body of Iroquois Indians whom he met on its banks, took formal possession, and baptized it with his own name. The lake is cormeeted with the Hudson River by the Champlain canal, which is 64 miles long and 40 feet wide, and was constructed at the cost of over $ 1 ,OO(.i,i)00. It also connects with the St. Lawrence and Montreal by railroad ami canal. Whiteliall. — This is the starting-point from the head of the lake by such travellers as come from Albany by rail, and is a thriving, busy town of some 4 or 5,000 inhabitants. Steamers, during the travelling season, daily leave this place for a voyage up the lakes, and, touching at Benson, 13 miles distant, and Orville, 7 miles further, reach, at the twenty- fourth mile Fort Ticouderoga, where passengers from Lake George are taken on board, and commence the voyage up the wider part of the lake. Crown Point. — During the Revolution, the English had a fort at this place, which was surprised and taken by a detachment of " Green Mountain Boys," under Seth Warner, on the same daj- on which Ethan Allen took Ticonderoga. Chiiiinei/ Point is on tiie opposite shore, and obtained its name from the fact that a number of chimneys once belonging to the old French lints, were found standing after the place was abandoned in 1759. The lake at this point is half a mile wide. Wextpnrt is 16 miles from Crown Point, on the east side of the lake. A ]n-etty village of 1.000 inhabitants, having a ferry to the opposite shore of Vermont. Fort Cassin. — This is a small village on the Vermont side, and was formerly a landing- place for Vergennes passengers, who now stop at Basin Harbour, opposite Westport. This place is remarkable as having been the point where Commodore McDonough, in 1814, fitted out the fleet with which he gained his memorable victory- over the English in the same year. The place is named after Lieut. Cassin of the American navy, who, with 200 men, gallantly and successfully repulsed a large body of English, who attempted to de- stroy the American fleet, while getting ready for sea. >^p/it Rock is one of the greatest curiosities of the lake. It is an immense mass of rock, about lialf an acre in extent, and 30 feet above the water, and has been detached by some convulsion of nature from the neighbouring cliff, from which it is separated about 12 feet. A little south of this roek a light-house has been erecteTTY UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK. "The chapel is prohahly the most beautiful room of the kind in America. It is open to the public, on Suiulavs, for relisiious worship. The Library and rooms of the S'ew York Historical Society are in the buildinij. The building is accessible to the visitor at all times." "The Tombs occupy the space between Centre, Elm, Leonard and Franklin streets, the site of an old filthy pond, which had its outlet throutrh Canal street. The Halls of Justice is a much-admired specimen of modern- ized Egyptian architecture. It is built of light granite from Hallowell, Maine. It is 2.53 ieet lung, and 2O0 wide, and occupies the four sides of a hollow sijuare, with a large centre building within the area. Tlie front is a^>proached by eight steps, leading to a portico ot four massive Egyptian columns. The windows, which extend to the height of two stories, have massive iron grated frames, surmounted with cornices, orna- mented with a winged globe and serpents. The two fronts on Leonard and Franklin streets have each two entrances, with Uvo massive columns each. Tlie gloomy aspect of tliis build- ing has won for it tlie general name of " The Tombs." It is occupied by the Court of Ses- sions, a police court, and some other court- rooms, besides a prison for male and female oflenders awaitinii trial. The open court within the walls is used as a place of execution for State criminals. Persons can gain admittance on application for a written permit, at the keepers room, between 10, a. m. and ;5, p. m."

The sum donated to such a noble pui-pose, amounts to :?300,U00 (£(50,000 sfg). "The building is in Astor Place, opposite the new Bible House. The edifice is six stories high, occupying a space equal in extent to eight full lots, each '25 feet by 100, or 20,000 square feet. In the basement is a commodious lecture- room, 135 feet long, and in the upper story an observatory. The Union provides free courses of lectures, a free library, rooms for debating and other societies, and an office for the benefit of jieisons seeking literary employment, where their names and wishes may be registered, and application for their services received.

HIGH BRIDGE, CROTON AQUEDUCT. Among the gigantic enterprises of modern times, tlie magnificent Croton Aqueduct, wliicli sunplies the City of Xew York witli a never- failing stream of pure water, may justly be con- sidered as the finest, both as to cost, and to the magnitude of its public uses. Through fhis immense structure, water is conveyed to the city, from Crofon River, over 40 miles distant. The dam on Croton River is 40 feet high, and 106 feet above tide water. Through a covered canal strongly built of brick and stone, and lii tunnels of an aggregate length of tjjiil feet, the water is conveyed to Harlem River, which it crosses on the High Bridge, represented in the above engraving. This bridge is 1450 feet long, and issu[)ported by 8 arches, with a span of 80 feet each, springing from piers 20 feet wide, the upper structure being 114 feet above the river. About five miles above the City Hall is the receiving reservoir, covering 38 acres, and capable of holding 150,000,000 gallons of water. Near 3 miles below, on Fifth Avenue, is the distributing reservoir, which has a capacity of 20,000,000 gallons. In supplying the city from this point, some 300 miles of pipe have been laid, capable of distributing 60,000,000 of gallons daily. The whole works, in connection with bringing the water into the city, has cost up- wards of f 15,000,01.10 (£-J,4oO,000 stg). Durnig the Summer months, " High Bridge " is much visited, the scenery around being very charming, and the river at this jioint being favorable for fishing purposes. This Spring (l85'J) a hue of small steamers have commenced lunning every hour, from Peck Slip to High iiiidge, at the iuiall fare of 16 cents each way. 58 GREENWOOD CEMETERY. This beautiful enclosure occupies an area of 400 acres, and is the most extensive place of sepulture ever formed in modern times. Here Nature and Art have combined to produce all the quiet and graceful surroundings which the most affectionate heart could desire for the last resting-place of its beloved ones. One can scarcely imagine a form of scenic beauty that cannot be found in this mournful, but enchant- ing ])lace. Apart from its sad uses, it might well be mistaken for an earthly paradise. Hills, valleys, and plains ; strips of woodland and a series of brush enclosures, with here and there a tiny lake, whose placid bosom sparkles with silver light, are met with in constant succession by the visitors who thread the silent avenues of this " City of the Dead." A whole day is not too much to devote to a thorough review of these grounds, and the various interesting monu- ments, which are to be met with on every hand. An hour's ride will only allow of a circuit around the enclosure, without offering opportunity" for any thing like a fair inspection of the most notable points of interest. Strangers or citizens desirous of visiting this Cemetery, which is by far the most interesting place of the kind in the country, can procure free tickets of admis- sion by calling at the company's ofticeat Xo.30 Broadway, New York. The Cemetery is reached from New York, by crossing on Fulton Ferry to Brooklyn, where a line of horse cars is always ready to take passengers on the landing of each boatj direct to the grounds, at a fare of 5 cents each person. Carriages are in attendance at the Cemetery gate, for the accommodation of such visitors as prefer to ride . BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

The above engraving represents the extensive works, erected in 1858, at Glen Cove, Long Island, for the manufacture of Duryea's celebrated Patent Starch und Maizena. In their completion, all has been done to produce a perfect manufacturing estab- lishment, that ami)lc means, enlarged experience, and the latest and best improvements in mechanical science could command. Its numerous resources are unequalled, either in this or any other country, and can only be appreciated when it is understood that it is capable of turning out 20 tons of the finest and purest white Starch per day, or 12,000,000 lbs. per annum, which is some 4,(100,000 lbs. more than all Great JJritain manufactured in 1835. The reputation of this starch is now so well established, that it needs Maizena. In addition to the immense quantity of Starch made by this establishment, it manufactures a new and most palatable article of food called " Maizena," which is extracted exclusively from the choicest and purest Southern White Corn, and put up in pound packages, with directions for use, with the trade mark " Maizena" on each package. This admirable addition to our every day bill of fare, is one of the most wholesome, nutritious and agreeable articles of food, to be found within the whole range of farinaceous diet; and wherever introduced invari- ably meets with unqualified approval. A more healthful preparation has never been produced by the joint efforts of Nature and Art. Besides the basis being from the purest white corn, the water used in no especial notice to commend it to the public's favor, j the process of manufacture is obtained from natural It is only necessary to say, that while in purity and springs, and is quite free from the impurities that strength it excels all others, its price is as low as I always contaminate streams, gathered from hill that obtained for ordinary qualities. t sides, and flowing along the earth's surface. A few of the many excellent qualities for which this preparation is justly celebrated, will bear enumeration. 1st. It is so nutritious that the robust labouring man, may derive more vital strength from its use, than from its equivalent in meat, or any other substance. 2d. It is so easily digested, that the most confirmed dyspeptic, may not only eat heartily of it without dis- comfort, but may, by a partial confinement to its use, be ultimately restored to sound health. 3d. Being extremely palatable, and very easily flavoured, it supplies a choice article of diet, either for the gormand, or for the jaded and weakened appetite that cannot relish stronger food. 4th. It is especially adapted to the use of children, particularly such as are of weak organism, and pre- disposed to Summer complaints, or to derangements of the digestive organs. 5th. It is an invaluable aid in the sick room, as well as for the aged and infirm, who will find in this, what they in vain seek for in any other article of diet. Its purity and strengthening qualit4es, together with its ease of digestion, all combine to give it a deserved preference. 6th. Its superiority as a Summer diet, it being cool- ing and soothing in its nature, while at the same time, it imparts all necessary strength and vigour. 7th. The ease and dispatch with which it can be prepared for use, a few minutes only being required in cooking most of its combinations. 8th. It is cheaper than any other food, when we consider the actual per centage of positive nutritive matter, or real life principle which it contains. The various forms in which it may be prepared, are as numerous as its beneficent uses. As an article of dessert, it is largely used not only in private families, but in many of the best hotels in the country, as well as upon the steamers plying upon our rivers and lakes, it being fully equal in nicety of relish to the ricTiest pastry, while it is a thousandfold more digestible and healthful. It is equally adapted to the making of custards, puddings, pies, cakes, and various kinds of confections. We append receipts for a few of its most popular forms of preparation.
