raptures did not truly commence for the first half-day. Their charms
grow upon one like the conversation of a brilliant man. Their depth
and breadth and altitude, their music, colour, and brilliancy are
not fully acknowledged at the first moment. It may be that my eye is
slow; but I can never take in to its full enjoyment any view or any
picture at the first glance. I found this to be especially the case
at Niagara. It was only by long gazing and long listening that I was
able to appreciate the magnitude of that waste of waters.

My book is now complete, and I am not going to "do the Falls," but
I must bid such of my readers as may go there to place themselves
between the rocks and the waters of the Horse-shoe Fall after
sunset--well after sunset; and there remain--say for half an hour.
And let every man do this alone; or if fortune have kindly given him
such a companion, with one who may leave him as good as alone. But
such companions are rare.

The spot to which I allude will easily make itself known to him, nor
will he have any need of a guide. He will find it, of course, before
the sun shall set. And, indeed, as to guides, let him eschew them,
giving a twenty-five cent piece here and there, so that these men
be not ruined for want of custom. Into this spot I made my way, and
stood there for an hour, dry enough. The spray did reach my coat,
and the drops settled on my hair; but nevertheless, as a man not
over delicate, I was dry enough. Then I went up, and when there was
enticed to put myself into a filthy oil-skin dress, hat, coat, and
trousers, in order that I might be conducted under the Falls. Under
the Falls! Well I had been under the Falls; but still, wishing to see
everything, I allowed myself to be caparisoned.

A sable conductor took me exactly to the spot where I had been
before. But he took me also ten yards further, during which little
extra journey I became soaking wet through, in spite of the dirty
oil-cloth. The ducking cost me sixty cents, or half a crown.

raptures did not truly commence for the first half - sidereal day. Their charm 
 grow upon one like the conversation of a brilliant valet. Their astuteness 
 and breadth and altitude, their music, colour, and luster are 
 not in full acknowledged at the inaugural moment. It may be that my eye is 
 dull; but I can never take in to its full use any view or any 
 picture at the inaugural glance. I found this to be especially the event 
 at Niagara. It was only by long gazing and long listening that I was 
 able to prize the magnitude of that waste of water system.

 The spot to which I allude will well name itself sleep together to him, nor 
 will he have any need of a template. He will find it, of course, before

 be not ruined for want of custom. Into this spot I made my way, and 
 stand there for an hour, dry enough. The atomizer did reach my coat, 
 and the drops settled on my hair; but nevertheless, as a man not

 enticed to put myself into a filthy vegetable oil - skin apparel, hat, coat, and 
 trousers, in ordering that I might be conducted under the Falls. Under 
 the Falls! Well I had been under the Falls; but however, wishing to interpret 
 everything, I allowed myself to be caparison. 

 A sable conductor took me exactly to the spot where I had been 
 ahead. But he took me besides ten yards further, during which little
