It is little puzzling to discover, notwithstanding
the boasted unanimity of views amongst the wbg
champlons, much accordance in those of The
Sage of Ashland and the Fourierite philosopher.

| COUNTRY ExcURsIoNs.-The gay sunshine Of
summer is fast passing away, to be succeeded by
shorter and darker days and sombre skies already
its last rose Is withering the stem, and the air
| of morning feels like the precursor of the falling
| temperature of the fall. There is, however,
remnant Of the light and glory Of summers sun
shine still within our reach there is a short but
gorgeous autumn, which it is we'll to enjoy by
every available means. To do so we must re-
| nounce the solitary confinement Of the city; we
must 60 out and pay a visit to Dame Nature in her
country seat we must walk with her in the wood
lands; remain in her company along the ocean
beach; or climb the steep and take survey of her
expansive domain below. Coney Island invites us |;
Staten Island says come; the hospitable proprietor
of the Hamilton House has unnumbered comforts
for his visitors and Nowan of Prospect has
mack Of pleasing that very few can come up to.
When at Nowlan's the voyageur can prolong his
| trip out to Harlem, meet with abundance of good
company, and return with his ideas extended in
proportion to.his prolonged travels But after all
what can come up to Hoboken? Thereyou have
the essence Of all that you can meet with in all
your other travels; beautiful scenery, delicious re-
ireshmens, society oHsolitude, just as you feel in
the humor Verify, If there is any such thing as
catching glimpse of that invisible and somewhat
fabulous parsonage called happiness, we have, with
all these invitations into her dominions, as good
chance OF distinguishing ourselves in making the
discovery as ever Columbus had in discovering
this 2" great country"
