In the w hole of our party, who had been weeks and months looking forw ard to this hour with intense enthusiasm, there was not one who lifted up his voice to give expression to the strong emotions kindled iu his soul. Perhaps the feelings of some were to strong to be impressed; perhaps no one w ished his neighbor to know how its associations could move him. Hut the truth was each of us was willing to enjoy the luxury alone, and did not w ish to disturb or be disturbed by the rest. For myself, I could not have spoken to a brother, to tell him how deep the joy of that hour when at last these eyes wetc looking on the scenes which 'prophets and kings desired to see which every reader of the oriental!
