LETTER FROM GRACE GREENWOOD.
FROM THE SEA SHORE.

LYNN, SepemJer is, 1850.
To he Editor Of The National Era:
1t hos struck me that you might be interested
in hearing something of my life and adventures
since " that dark and doleful night "when You left
Boston, and all the simple pleasures and harmless
d'ssipations Of the sea shore.
For myself, am inclined to believe in the doc
trlne Of compensation-for no sooner had you all
ie't me, than ! was happily surprised by a visit
from one of my brothers, whom had not seen for
more than year, and who came on to make his
aureus before setting out to seek his fortune in
Minnesota Shortly after his arrival, we all ran
uo"n 10 Gloucester, where my brother once spent
summer, and where he has many friends Here
We spent three or four days more delightfully."-
'nan can tell you. The weather was glorious,
our hearts light and joyous-we were in a place
beautiful almost beyond compare, and what was
more among friends-kind, courteous, true, and
earnest people, to whom we were, after all, chiefly
iNueoted for our rare enjoyment.
Never shall forget merry day in the woods
!" rlgeon Cove, and the magnificent drive home,
around the Cape. The scenery all along our way
was most grand and peculiar and, should you
'''r spend another season in this part Of the
world you must, without fail, pay your respects

your reward.
