have sort of fancy to please somebody be-
side myself, and single you out for this, my first;
dash Of the pen from Saratoga.
On, on, is the watchword Of this generation
some stumble over the capitation block In their
rush for happiness; others cast all upon ons die,
and plunging into the stream Of pleasure without
buoy, sink with the first gush of waters from
the iathomless cave. Away, away, on the rolling
to catch the fantastic air of foreign cnes -
HE, HE, to the mountain side to drink in at ono
glance the wide expanse o. natures beauties -
then sinkito droop. upon the desert plain. Varied
as the hue Of the rainbow the passions of man
and woman kind. What hath planted 50 many

belong to the matron OF every age the fathers
attend TO loose the purse strings OF the daughters

Brooklyn is not " as it used to once was )" there
is a novelty TO me in your chronicles of marriages
in high places, OF elopements intended, of tete-d-
tetes upon the lovely Heights, of the congregations
of courtly men and dashing women at the even
ing hum OF promenade Oh her favorits street, no.
vety TO me who am new settler there, but the
novelty dies when discover now that the life, the
light and beauty Of Union Hall emanates from
that locality. At the States" it 10 represented
by no less Than Madap'eL l.. and daughter, a lady
whose CLASSIC taste brings score OF attendants TO
rival each other in the affections Of the pride OF
her heart There, too discover the beau ideal
of the gentleman in young z Esq. His energies
have brought order out OF the confusion, which
once held that soon TO be iar-iamed city in du-

the thrice happy bride of Mr.. s., causes many

reigns with her, and also the queen like majesty
of Miss y, who seems inseparable from the
party. The brilliant eye, the raven locks, the
downy cheek, the well developed form of Miss
B., create a passion for heavenly mindedness,
while the mind seeks in ltaly's studio the model
of the brow the latter condescended from nature
to receive. Young A., must be a stole, indeed.
if he passes his present ordeal with countenancc
unmoved. Miss A. R., of Springfield, has made
a most successful dfbnt here. She bids fair, ere
long, to martial into the field goodIy number
of chieftains as her fathers military ambition
would seek to command. Miss E., oil Ex-Gover-
nor Seubriquet, has faults not discerned or dis
cernible to my eyes. Her destiny is as ever,
wrapt up in the mysterious. Congress Hall,
which seems to have passed through as many
phases as were ever chronicled OF the moon, and
lived as many lives ms cat, is known as Hotel
Plus Second Rev. DIR. G. is there, and the Rev.
Mrs. c. is also there. This is the Doctors bridal
of the weather. All Saratoga is ngog to know
what the clerk of the seasons has found to so pro-

dear -
Daily, how your popularity widens. What
would become of us, this wlntry weather, but tor
the impulse we receive from the Herald.
NEWPORT, July IL, 1896.
and Nation
The weather day is delicious We have
the climate of the Orient. The sea-brcexe fang
the fevered brow. The sun is shining brightly,
but the Narraganset zephyr battles his burning
beam. In spite his efforts, we are all cool-cool
and comfortable.
The day is bright as new dollar From my
window the white cliffs of Block Island are plain
ly visible, and appear to be at distance ofthree.
instead of thirty miles think with gsod teles-
cope now, / could lay my hands upon them.
Fifty white sails are outlined against the pale
blue sky, standing TO and from your great metro
polls Between Block Island and the Narragan-
set Bay, is perhaps as great thoroughfare for
ships exists upon the ocean. Seldom fewer
than fifty sail are visible from the hills of New
port, and frequently twice that number may be
seen.
To-day the atmosphere is more than ordinarily
translucent. The whole scene around me is a
bright picture. The fields are green, the ocean
azure, and the sky of soft pale blue, without a
cloud-just such u sky as might have spanned
Paradise r.
To see the panorama that is now spread before
me is worth The expense of long journey. 1t is
with some difficulty that can keep my eyes oil
it while penning these lines. On such scene
you not only gaze without uring, but new beau
ties constantly springpg up TO fasten and fas-
cinate you. 6ln ll
Now two ships are locking their spars on the
far horizon, and form for awhile the appearance
OF a huge white wall with perpendicular sides,
rising out of the ocean, In moment more they
separate, and the illusion vanishes. Now a yes
sci is standing from you, and you are cheated in
to the belief that she is a lighthouse, or some
great tower. In a few minutes she has changed
her tack, and seems ship again. Not unfre-
quenty, a fleet of schooners and sloops may be
seen standing on the same tack, and racing like a
regular regatta. So you this is somewhat of
changing panorama, and so much the more in
terestlng.
To-day, being the Lords day, we do not expect
any fresh arrivals, but we have enough already
to make merry with. The churches, ] believe,
are well attended There are some ten or do
zen of them in this place. But if you are not
church-going man, you can worship nature ana
natures God, to great advantage here, by wan
dering along the wild ocean cliffs, listening TO the
snow white gull in its endless fight or you may
stroll through shady lanes and sweet green fields;
where, amidst the perfume OF fragrant flowers,
you may worship in your own way. Birds will
be singing, bees will be humming around you.
but they will not interrupt your devotions.
Our splendid German band OF Musicians, IS
expected here tomorrow, armed with every kind
of instrument. Hitherto the dancing has been
+" done" TO the piano, but when the bandmen ar
rive, we will not only dance, but dine to music.
