THE ISLANDS.
A guide-book of this character would be incomplete without some notice of the islands which cluster about New York like satellites around a planet. 'Three have been mentioned, leaving to be noticed Blackwell's Island, Ward's Island, and Randall's Island.
BLACKWELL'S ISLAND,
A narrow strip of land, one and three- quarter miles long, containing one hundred and twenty acres, is situated in the East River, and extends from opposite East Forty-eighth to Eighty- third street. The channel on either side is quite deep, and navigable by the largest vessels. On the island are the following buildings, all under the charge of the Commissioners of Chari- ties and Correction : Charity Hospital, Small-pox Hospital, Fever Hospital, Infant Hospital, Hospital for Incura- bles, Hospital for Epileptics, Hospital
for Paralytics, Penitentiary, Alms house, Workhouse, and Lunatic Asy- lum. The island is kept in perfect order, and will well repay one for the trouble of visiting it.
WARD'S ISLAND,
Covering two hundred and twenty acres, is situated at the junction of the East and Harlem rivers, opposite One Hundred and One Hundred and Four- teenth streets. It contains a hospital for emigrants, and there is now erect- ing on it a lunatic asylum. Here, also, is the Potter's Field, but the Commis- sioners have already asked permission to purchase land elsewhere for this use.
RANDALL'S ISLAND,
Is a short distance north of Ward's Island. On it is a nursery, in which children over two years old committed to the Commissioners are placed and kept until their parents or guardians are able to provide for them. If not claimed, they are indentured, at a suitable age, to respectable citizens, to learn some useful pursuit. There are now in the nursery 642 boys and 321 girls. A school for idiot children is also located on this island.
HOW TO SEE THE ISLANDS.
Persons desirous of visiting the islands in the East river can obtain permits upon application to the Com- missioners of Public Charities and Correction, at their office, No. I Bond street. The easiest way to obtain a view of them is to take one of the steamboats which leave Peck Slip every hour for Harlem.

CEMETERIES.
The cemeteries where the myriad dead of the great metropolis find their last and final resting-place, are, with one or two exceptions, located at a con- venient distance in the suburbs. These are interesting places to visit, as they indicate the growth in the noble senti- ments and refined taste which lead us to honor and respect the memory of those who have departed from us.
GREENWOOD.
The grounds of Greenwood, of all our cemeteries the first in importance, in beauty of location and the adorn- ment of art, comprise four hundred and ten acres. They are situated on Gowanus Heights, Brooklyn, are un- dulating in surface, forming, even if unadorned by art, the most romantic and beautiful of burial-places. From the breezy knolls which adorn its broad area is obtained a view of the beautiful bay of New York, the picturesque hills of Staten Island and Bergen Heights, the Narrows opening into the Atlan- tic, the distant ocean itself, from Sandy Hook to Rockaway beach, and the smoky and busy, but at this distance noiseless emporium of the ever eager and restless multitudes of the living. No more enchanting spot could have been selected for the great necropolis of the city. Its vast extent of forest-trees, its swelling hills, crested with luxuriant shrubbery, its valleys, ridges, lanes, and shady groves, the labyrinth of av- enues and lanes, broad carriage-ways and footpaths turning among the hum- ble and unlettered graves, or lost in thick mazes of sculptured stone, ren- der this home of the dead an attrac- "ve resort. In the laying out of
these grounds the best artistic and engineering talent has been employ- ed, and the result has been the establishment, within the twenty-two years during which Greenwood has been in existence, of a cemetery un- equalled by any other in the country for beauty of plan and thorough excel- lence of the artistic adaptation of its natural advantages to subserve its sol- emn purposes with the greatest effect of beauty. The various avenues which twine about the grounds in every im- aginable direction, penetrating the sha- dy groves, delving into the valleys, and winding about the hills, are of a ยท total length of sixteen miles. This is exclusive of the many small footpaths which conduct to remote points of in- terest through valleys, over hill-tops, or along the borders of the several lakes with which the grounds are em- bellished.
The whole number of interments in this cemetery from the time of its first establishment, twenty-two years ago, up to the 28th day of May, 1867, is shown by the official records to have been 125,721, making an average of 5,714 burials a year, about 110 a week, or 15 a day throughout that time. The whole number of burial lots sold up to the 26th ult. was 17,408, and the finan- cial condition of the institution is shown in the annual report to be as flourishing as are its groves, walks, drives, and well kept lots. All sums received for lots are expended in im- proving the grounds. To visit this cemetery, cross Fulton or South fer- ries, and take Greenwood cars. Fare, six cents.
THE EVERGREENS.
The Cemetery of the Evergreens 1s
20
located in the most easterly corner of Brooklyn, and its grounds comprise upwards of two hundred acres, lying in Brooklyn, Newtown and New Lots. It is very favorably situated, within easy reach of Brooklyn by the main lines of railway respectively from At- lantic, Fulton, and the South Seventh street ferries. These grounds have long been noted for their great beauty and the solemn grandeur of the effects produced by their romantic situation, and the care with which art conduces to the perfection of nature. The gate- ways, arches, buildings, and ornament- al work of the grounds are all in rustic style, and present a remarkably unique and pleasing appearance from this pe- culiarity. The monuments and pri- vate grounds within this enclosure are remarkable for unusual beauty, and the latter especially for the good order in which they are kept. Obelisks and statues, shattered shafts and stately tombs, at once adorn the scene and give their solemn honors to the dead. The avenues are broad, smooth, and well kept ; the flowers spring up luxu- riantly on all sides over the sodded graves and beside the tall monuments ; and though the scene is bright with nature's smiling features, the stately trees cast a decorous gloom around, in keeping with the solemn consecration of the spot.
CYPRESS HILLS.
These grounds contain about four hundred acres, and are situated a short distance east of the Evergreens, and just east of the Ridgewood Reservoir, where the water is pumped up from the aqueduct which supplies the city of Brooklyn.
In the location of this cemetery re-
markable good taste and apprecia- tion of the solemn grandeur of na- ture have been manifested. A large tract of land, fertile and beautifu. in its natural state, presenting an ad- mirable diversity of hill and dale, shady wood and flowery valley, con- stitutes this well kept domain of the dead. Its site is a romantic range of hills, or rather the salient points of a long ridge on the Jamaica turnpike, about five miles from the Williams- burg ferries, over a direct and well regulated road. The picturesqueness and variety of its landscape, the com- manding view from its lofty eminences, its cool, sequestered groves, and the impressive solemnity of its forest shades give it a character fully worthy of the best intentions of its originators. To visit it take city railroad cars from Ful- ton, South, and Williamsburg ferries.
WOODLAWN CEMETERY.
The location of these grounds is just above Fordham, on the west bank of the Bronx, about seven miles from Harlem bridge. The cemetery is si- tuated on a swelling wooded ridge, whose broad plateau and fertile sides are thickly wooded, and fresh strewn with graves and tombstones of unique design and artistic finish. The ap- proach is by a winding carriage-way up the hill-side, and passing through a commanding gateway supported by a fine stone lodge. Although the ceme- tery is only three years old, it vies in point of beauty and fine monuments with the most celebrated and complete of our older burial-places. It has al ready, with the aid of art and enterpris- ing labor, brushed away the roughness of nature, transformed the tangle of the forest into the labyrinth of the cemetery,
21
and changed the unsightly swamps into ornamental lakes, where drooping trees and sombre waters lend their gloomy impressiveness to the home of the dead. There are about five thousand graves already in these grounds, and many of the monuments are splendid works of art, in addition to their appropriateness to the locality, and the solemn purpose they subserve. To visit this cemetery take Harlem Railroad cars, Fourth avenue, corner East Twenty-sixth st. (See Walling's Harlem Railroad Route Guide.)
NEW YORK BAY CEMETERY,
Located on the west bank of New York bay, two and a half miles below Jersey City, on a high ridge, sloping gradually in a fertile stretch of land to- wards the waters of the bay, and afford- Ing from every part a splendid view of its verdant shores, busy traffic, and the towering spires of the twin cities. The grounds are reached either by the cars, a well regulated plank-road, or by steamer, a fine wharf having been built for the accommodation of those desir- ing to avail themselves of this means of conveyance during the summer months, when the trip by water is more convenient and pleasant.
CALVARY CEMETERY.
This cemetery is very finely located at Newtown, L. I., and distant two and a half miles from the Tenth street ferry. This is the principal, in fact the only extensive burial-ground of our Catholic population, although there are several other similar institutions in the immediate suburbs of Brooklyn. Calvary is the property of the trustees
of St. Patrick's Cathedral in this city, and contains about eighty acres of land, laid out with the best view tc adaptation of the tract to its solemm purposes. An officiating clergyman resides on the ground, and attends the needs of the numbers who daily seek sepulture in these consecrated grounds. The cemetery has been in existence nineteen years, having been first open- ed in the year 1848; and since that time it has been constantly improving in beauty of appearance and the deco- rations of art.
TRINITY CHURCH CEME- TERY,
1
Between One Hundred and Fifty-third and One Hundred and Fifty-fourth streets and Tenth avenue and the Hudson river, contains twenty-five acres, and is tastefully laid out and well kept. To visit it take Hudson river cars to Carmansville station.
MOUNT OLIVET CEMETERY,
Situated near Maspeth, L. I., three and a half miles from Grand and Houston street ferries, contains about fifty ares. It is well laid out, and presents an agreeable diversity of sur- face. It is accessible by different roads leading out from Williamsburg.
Besides the cemeteries above men- tioned, there are numerous smaller ones in the city and its suburbs, belong- ing to different religious societies, etc., some of which are neat and well kept, while others are gradually falling into decay, and will probably be removed ere long to more suitable locations, to make way for the erection of build- ings, etc.
