It was a morning never to be forgotten till all sense of the beautiful and glorious has passed away, or a rision of brighter magnificence is revealed. Tlui snow cap summit of Mount Olympus was now resplendent in the yellow beams of the rising sun, and these were streaming along the hill sides and flowing into the plains, with a wastefulness of glory that excited and charmed us as we stood high on tho bows of the ship to take the vietf in the first blush of its opening charms. And there stood the swelling domes, the snowyminarets, or the shining palaces and towers of Constantinople gleaming in the morning sun. At first view a mass of temples and human habitations were crowded on mountain side, and the gardens, cypresses and pinacles appeared to be thrown in the midsL of them without regard to arrangement but we soon distinguished Stamboul and Scutari, and then we rushed by tho Seraglio Palace, into the mouth of the Golden Horn. Pera rose from the water's edge with the new marble Palace of the' Sultan, on the Bosphorus, and there wo came to anchor, having Scutari behind us, Stamboul on our light, with St. Sophia, the St. .Peter's of the Moslem, and a score of mo-ques with their surrounding mirrarets in full view and IVra surmounted by tho Russian Palace on our left. The Golden Horn, a:: arm of the ?ca, was stretched before us, clasped by a bridge, and filled with the shipping of every clime a sight in all it- parts, of such extraordinary element of beauty and grandeur, as the approach to no other city in the world presents No wonder that it has oi en beseiged twen-fv-six times Xo wonder that, every conqtierer who comes in sight of it covets it and resolves to have it Xo wonder that Nicholas Imgs to transfer his palace from the frozen borders of Finland to this enchanting zone
