HALIFAX— BOSTON-^NEW TOBK. 217 Boston, Septemher 20^. — The mate summoned me at early twilight with the news that we shonld soon approach the Boston Harbour Light. I had slept very little; there were noises all night on deck, from the time of stopping to take in the pilot, that disturbed me incessantly. I left my bed with little relxLctance to see in the cold grey light the land before me stretching away to the right, with the lighthonse a-head. It was land, and the eye strained to it and reste...d on it as on security and comfort. I desired to be called when we neared the Narrow, and attended to my luggage until time to see our entry into this beautiful harbour. It must be a very unsightly haven that would not have beauty for eyes that hare looked on sea and sky for nine or ten days, but the islands so yarious in form, the opening again of the view of the sea through the Northern Channel after passing the narrow entrance, the forts, the houses that spot the rising shores, and the seemingly rich and thriying villages that spread far along the circling shores on either side of the receding land, with the clustered masses of the city's buildings in the central distance, surrounded by the dome of the State House and the Obelisk of Bunker's Hill : all these lit up and illumined by a most gorgeous sunrise that fretted with golden fire one half of the heavens, and was reflected in the dancing waves through which we made rapid way, all these effects of form and colour gave a beauty and splendour to the scene that required not any interest un- borrowed from the eye to awaken delight and enjoyment.
