arm here recruiting the health of body and mind,
in one of the most quiet, lovely mountain villages OF
New England. Truly, il seems one OF Natuie Ia
vorite spots. Lenox is most delightfully."- situated on
q plot of table land, approachabe only by ascending
or descending mountain The excellent dry air, the
beautifully wild and picturesque scenery itsconguty
TO many pretty villages, and ne plckere and trout
fishing for the sportsmen all say, you seek health,
pleasure, and rural qaietude come hlher. On the
south. distant few miles, lies Stockbridge, on the
top of verdant hills watered by the pretty Ousatonc,
slowly flowing, though reluctant TO leave its
earthly paradise celebrated by the residence of of
our most interesting and useful female authors Miss
Sedaewick On the east lies Pittsfeld, now graced
with the presence of many New York's fair daugh-
ters giving a charm TO the extreme natural beauty OF
this busy village. AT the north lies Lebanon, well
known for its superb mountain scenery, and much re-
sorted by ia shionables, presenting scene of the
reality of city life most conveniently near TO give the
charm Of variety to those who needsuch while tary-
ing for health or pleasure, amidst Ito mel the excel
ling natural beauties of attractive Len0x 1t is also
celebrated the chosen habitation Of those queenn
comprehensive beings, named Shakers among
whom have seen many OF the falrest ofthose almost
angelic fair ones, that make this earth heaven, and
who now, by the dspensation of matrimoAy, recently
obtained, with bright black eyes, voluptaous forms,
pictures of health inspire me with full assurance that
the race Will not soon die away. AT the south west
is beautifully located the busy manufacturing village
of Curtisvile, nursed trained and fairly started IN
this world of experiments, by the sole industry and
enterprise of distinguished adopted son of New
lovely home Lenox where, if the foregoing tempt
the lover OF nature, fear not he will anticipate too
much.
NewY ork, Philadelphia, Boston and Troy at present
are well repre- sented entcing by the charms of most
agreeable, intellectual and divine society, the one
who reaches here long, very long to hnger. The
queenlike .orms of New York's fair daughters, the
bright black, piercing eye of Philadelphia beauty, the
ever Joyous spirit of the pretty Troy girl and the as
cinatng influence of that amiabe, lovely fair one
from Boston, blend beautifully in the bewltching
group that time flies truly with golden wings, and
DAYS seem too short hours. Briefly let me speak of
Monument Mountain, and close this poor feeble eff
fort to convey ideas on paper.
No one who has ever read the beautiful poems of
Bryant can fail to recall to mind the Thrilling tale OF
the Indian girls i'll placed love- inducing, at last, her
self deslrscton-ill placed, from Indian laws which
forbids then forbade, the marrying OF cousins bat
with thanks to the superior intelligence Of the evil
zed white populations will not cause, perhaps, nay
pretty cousin being lost to me.
Yesterday having been ushered into existence with
bright sun and sky without cloud, the appear,
ance of Comstock's Hollow the night previous, and
the combAed wisdom of several very knowing ladies,
had for the very first time falsely arranged the wea
ther at the app snted time the merry, joyous party
started, some on horseback some IN one horse
"chay some In an omnibus, ALIAS wagon without
springs or top, very comfortable and deserving a
patent on the excursion 10 Monument Mountain,
passing through Stockbridge, increasing our numbers
three by three now counting about forty, OF all ages
all sizes, pretty, old, midde-aged, young ana very
which, after considerable necessary squeezing OF
hands, enabled us to reach the Indian monument at
the top, all scratchless in great splts we were re-
compen sed by the rich reward of BIRDS eye view OF
cultivated nature. Ii is second only to the unrvalled
scene of Corn Valley from Mount Holyoke.
Our lovely mountain mirror lay in deep repose, ap-
pearng scarcely large enough to float the tub of the
three wise men Of DID, and the busy husbandmen
seemed but speck from the giddy height upon which
our party now scattered in numerous groups, present.
ed such picture, as one day hope may bring be-
fore me on my canvass This mountain, like king
upon his throne surrounded by his subjects with the
broad belt of verdant meadow land, varied by the
rich hues of numerous sustaining stores, and
fourishing villages scattered through the vale, pre-
sents scene of picturesque beauty and loneliness,
which arr be regarded, not only as great attrac-
ton to Lcnox bat another proof Of the wisdom, pow
err and certainty of an all-protectng blessing power
After sundry pleasing adventures by the way side,
scrambling down, reached our home, joyous, hap
Ply, satisfied, not often the case with murmurng
mankind.
Should YOU consider this deserving of place in
your evening paper shall feel il great incentive
TO do better next time and have only to say hal II
not been for fear of discovery, should have more
particuarzed the numbers Of our groupe.
The Albany boat of the evening lands you at Hud-
son where vou have time for a few hours sleep, and
after breakfast taking the stage enables you TO reach
by o'clock in the afternoon very comfortably, asre
spects both person and purse-of some consideration
now-a-days-where at Wilson's coffee house. you
find good table and good bed.
Az an admirer OF your energy, independence, and
talented mind, remain, with love 10 the girls,
Yours truly, EZEKIEL, Of New Haven.
