the kind in the country. While look

rayed in rows, one above the other, from

to mind the beautiful lines by Longfel-

No easement fair with taper'd light,
No downy couch,or hearthstone bright,
Yet,--'ts the home for all
May she live many years yet, and
write many more such poems, before

NEW HAVEN, Com April, Goth.
This is, in my humble estimation, the
most beautiful city in New England
1t is distinguished, even in this land of
Elms, as the City of Elms, from the
great number Of noble old trees, OF this
species, which shade and embcllish the
streets.
New Haven shares with Hartford, the
honor of being Capitol of the State,
and is also the seat of Yale College, an
institution which has sent out more
graduates than any other in America.
The College buildings occupy nearly
a whole square, and are the chief at
fractions. of the city; especially the
''Trumbull Gallery" which contains a
large collection of the works Of the
eminent American artist in whose honor
it was named.
The Americdn Journal Of Science
and 4rt, edited by Professor Silliman
and Dana, and which numbers among
its contributors, such men as Lieutenant
Maury, Prof. Bond, y. Hitchcock, Prot.
Agassiz, and others, IS published here,
as also are several other literary period
icals.
This is 76 miles from New York City
via. n. Y. & n. III. r. r. and in 1852
had a population of $4,000.
Mynext will be from New York and
will, l trust, be more interesting than
what | have heretofore written.
