GREEN Hon0KEN'-' Pleasant though mourn

O.ssn or something sbou, good so thinking. We
took stroll yesterday down Barclay snd across The Hud
son 10 Hoboken the once fairy the cynosure OF youth
and plessure-the pace OF games and rcmps and ten
der tieafSs 10 greenwood bowers-hoping % revive,
for bland half hour OF Spring the Ugh, Of other days
Bai what change Even the old homeiness OF the
ferry fixtures has given place 10 a more moiish ar
rsnzement with snowy Atlantic Hotel on one side,
while the al AGENT pleasure grounds OF the oden time
where the circular railroad was located, the soups
Of In joyous motion through day and evening
aud where seats thcky dotted the grass beneath deep
cool fragrant, umbrsge and Lemonade sometimes with
stick in il bountifully dispensed to groups OF
waiting loi,erers- all. all have vanished save few OF
tue trees and they stand unacceptable before 70"
Of stately spacious new dwellings By which the terry
IL at easy distance confronted Passing these the OLE
time yser of Hobokenis coniounded By graded streets
with bordering rows Of stores and dwellings beyond
which grader, of streets and builders dwellings
are busily at work while shlp-ouilding goes merriy
on at two capscious yards located some thirty rods
north Of the Ferry Alas for youth and sport and iroc
Work Is the common law, Use the general end and
Hoboken yields 20 her prosaic destiny. SIZE has pro-
cured herself 10 be set OF into separate township
and will doubtless soon call for village charter and
BY and By perhaps vote herself cy-who can tell
She is as likely within the lifetime of many OF u.s. to
have fifty thousand Inhabitants with streets Of stores
and scores OF churches Brooklyn was half century
ago
Bu, Hoboken has 10, yet loat all ts orgins bright
moss Pass a few yards farther north and the Ola
groves the old walks the old prospects are there as
shady and delightful as ever. Among the best views

and the contrast between noisy glsring and dusty
streets on one side Of the Hudson and the quiet cool
ness which reign, on the other Ia most striking You
are swel,ering and stumbling amid bales and barrels
by wharves and vessels in endless prou'on when you
step into ferry boat aud cross the breezy river take
few s,eps northwsrd, and 10 new world-a world
guites. Of brick and MORTAR world OF yerdure and
hower. Of undus,ing surface aud waters ripping on
PEERLESS beach, world wherein Nature IL visible and
| Meditation not impossible We doubt whether there
10 another city o. large this which has within half an
| hours ride walk 90 naurs' and delicious so rural
while in full view Of great Citys feverI'h hustle and
almost within hearing of Its hesrithrobs as that walk
along the Hudson from the Ferry TO the Eyssn Fields
All this now threstens 10 pass away, yet II should
not HobOken IL convenient 70 and accessible from
our City yet so Isolated from its hustle and its annoy
snces 90 oln Summary 90 sheltered from the cold
er winds Of Winter that il cannot fail rapidly to attract
immigration from this side IL will be bulk over, as u
has begun TO be for considering Its position, s prob
able exemption from mobs and hres and contagion,
and taxation Il probably more inviting locality Ter
buying and building especially for men dong business
on the North River side than any other. But measures
ought at TO be taken TO preserve 50 lar " may De-
its walks its arbors, In all their natural beauty 10
this end those who may hereafter buy lots and erect
Their dwellings on that side should combine to do so
Ia such ss TO preserve By mutual compact the
winding covered promeRsdes, which are glory not
| only 10 Hoboken but to York. II these can be
retained while row Of tasteful dwellings are buii up
on the higher ground Just west OF them each with the
river and city in prospect just over and through the
trees Hoboken may boast Of Of the most sgreea
bic and picturesque residences in the world
