The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1858-07-19

either IN visit or TO mention this secluded little vale
which has long been beneficial resort for persons
wishing TO recuperate an impaired constitution, and
thinking that some tidings from this part Of the
country" might not be unacceptable to some Of
your many readers, resolved to write this letter
while waiting for the HERALD Of today, which does
not arrive here before four o'clock P NJ, and then
:efe is perfect rush to read the news, for there is
little else doing here; ana me HERALD once in my
possession, my mind, at least is in New York for the
remaider of the day.
We are all anxiously expecting news from the te-
legraph feet, and some wag who happened to be
the first to unfold yesterdays HERALD transplanted
Us in the twinkle of an eye from our customary en-
nui to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, by excainl-
ing in true shaksperean style, that the first message
had been received, to wit: "Alls well that ends
WE'LL" very appropriate, but-we cooled down some
what upon learning the real state of affairs.
Your correspondent says that the fashionable
world had supplanted the religious world from the
Union at Saratoga; this must certainly be the
case, and what Is more, the latter must have mgrat
ed to the Union and Sharon houses of this place. for
these houses never presented q more quiet appear
ance. The propretors of these houses seem to have
specially provided for such desirable guests for on
the parlor centre table OF Of them iud perhaps
twenty books, placed there, OF course for the edit
ligious Subjects one treats of anatomy and the re-
naming two are moral novels, strongly mpregnated
with pous doctrines-very pleasing variety for some
AS natural consequence Of this the morals OF the
guests, more than their bodily health, seem to have
improved under the benign influence Of such praise
worthy example, end our hosts, frightened, sup
pose at the solemn look and sedate habits of their
guests are retracsng and endeav0ring to awake them
from their trance by stirring strains OF music which il
now alternately dlscoursed at the different hotels
The guests of the Pavilion are doing very well but

as though it were amid the gloomy silence of a
sepulchre.
cident connected with this hop, came to my know
ledge, the effect, doubt, of an extreme sense of
morality and modesty, with which the Young
ladies' OF this place are imbued. One OF these
fair creatures had made r Practice Ut comet

requested oneO present him to the young lady,
who, upon being asked If she wished to be intro
duced TO the gentleman to the astonishment of all
suddenly recovered her modesty to great degree,
her answer being that she must ask ma ;" who,
being of course very strict in such matters said she

Poor deluded maj"
My impression is that the natives" up here are
little behind the age, and just entering upon
have not yet finished, their revival meetings and
there is not enough Of New York the spot to give
il different aspect.
In other respects, particularly in the part nature
has to perform, the place is desirable ever and
the guests Of the Pavilion have to complain
of dizziness or inconvenience Of any kind.
A. have said, have written this only to shorten
the ti.ne in imagination at least, between and
the arrival of today's HERALD, and if you Judge it
worthy OF your columns, such as it is, Il is at your
disposal.
