A man could hardly have any feeling who had not such thoughts. It filled me with a strange elevating sadness." Next day he writes again, with further attempts to describe the wonder- ful vision, which is indescribable — adding, the " great many thoughts of you all," and the desire to communicate to his CANADA. 297 own people "some of the lessons America has taught me — lessons conservative as well as liberal, lessons for our churches and for our politicians," which had risen in his mind in the ...emotion and inspiration which the grandeur of nature brought into it. " But the enthusiasm may all die away amidst the commonplaces of one's home work," he adds. It did, perhaps, to some extent ; at least it never came to such expression as he fancied, within the roar of Niagara, that he must endeavour to give. But no doubt the profound impression was not without its use.
Canada pleased him better than the States, so far as nat- ural beauty was concerned. The site of Ottawa struck him as very grand — a fit position for a capital, though still only a capital in a wilderness; and the Canadians were, "of course, much like our own home folk, and this is always pleasant to the national instinct." On his way to Montreal, whither he had intended to travel by railway, another break- down occurred, the train, it was found, being " seven hours late, and consequently once more out of connection." The Principal remarks upon " the natural ejaculations that fall from an Englishman and Scotchman on such occasions," as to the stupidity of railway officials ; but adds, " Canadians, like Americans, say nothing — they consider themselves hope- lessly in the hands of the railway companies." After this accident he transferred himself to the St Lawrence, and completed his journey by the river, with the scenery of which he was delighted.
