Poets may sing and talk as much as they like
about the sweet and lovely climate Of Italy. II is
mere poetry. 1t Is nothing to be compared
with the climate of this delicious island
Here, there is no marshy land, no malaria,
as in Italy-the whole country round is q gar.
den Of saub,l,y and health. If the people, Ian
gushing in sickly ennus in the hot interior of some
places, only knew that here they might be almost
reJuvenaied by the healthy breezes and balmy air,
they would not postpone any longer the time Of
their departure for Newport they would hasten
to luxurla,e this delicious climate, where drive
or walk in any of the beautiful rides and walks
which abound throughout the neighborhoOd, is
healthy and exhilarating, and puts. you in good
spirits IN spite OF yourself and everything. There
is no cholera here and fear Of it, for learn that
in former times Of the epidemic, viz, in 80 and 81,
when it was prevalent almost in every place at
time or other, all over the Union, it never came
here. There were four cases which were import

being here little while, recovered. There, now,

there are more charming rural walks and plea

Of sweet villas and elegant little country boxes,
standing In the midst OF strawberries, gardens,
and romantic bosqnets, with rose-bushcs run

Then, there Is the fishing ground, and the walks
on the sta-beach, and charming marine views
from every point, offering, at every step, a new
view or varegated cture bristling with life and
animation. In The distance is seen Fort Adams,
with the flag Of the United States floating over Its
turres and baiements and opposite to It the ruins
OF Fort Dumpllng. Or, if the still, quiet landscape

greenwood shade, and witness, with quiet contem-

There are no flee here, that plague Of the city.

blown OF the coast, from the Mosquito shore, or
some remote southern place, and If he could have
spoken would have told good deal OF news, how
the cholera was getting on, or how the California
emig rants were taring; whether Monagds was still
