S56 ISLES OP SUMMEE. 



Brooklyn from her heights, Jersey City from her lowly position 

 upon the shore, and New York from behind her shipping, seemed 

 to waft lis jDlcasant greetings. Our fellow passengers thronged 

 the deck of the Anstin, and exchanged cards and congratulations. 

 We again found that the love of native laud is intensified by ab- 

 sence. Exile hallows and makes home more sacred. The earth- 

 ly home suggested the heavenly, and we repeated the poet's ap- 

 propriate and tuneful numbers — 



"Lone voyager on time's sea! 

 When my dull night of being shall be past, 

 O may I waken in a land at last, 



Welcome as this to me I"
