Excerpt from An Address Delivered, by Request, Before the Masonic Veterans of Pennsylvania, at the Masonic Temple, Philadelphia, Feb; 27, 1885
After leaving home we travel a dis tance on land, as far as a voyage by sea would be from Philadelphia to Europe, having the advantage over an ocean trip in beholding nature in all her grandeur, without the discomforts of seasickness to Spoil the appetite of our feasting eyes, as we behold the varied and wonderful scenes that swiftly pass before our vision with kaleidoscopic effect and bewilder ment.
