earnest sympathy with the cause for which their
prayers and Thanksgiving were invoked Several
ministers made the subject topic ~ SPECIAL dis

orcasion 10 impress upon his hearers the duty n
sustaining the National Government In this crisis Of
the nations history. In the ncghhoring city n

| city ia rapidly filling ur. The pleasure seekers,
country tourists, and business men, who rushed to
the country for "rcet and recreation" and because
II was fashionable, gradually returning ~ their
accustomed hsunts. Il is yet TOO close tho yctgc
of the country, and shc bcsinnins of the city
season h. chronicle the arrival Of thc ladies' in any
| considerable number, hut they beginning 10
appear on broadway /: in fact, q largo number Of
| f.shionsbles - ladies' and gentlemen arc In
town, but many Of these will not appear in public
until the season is so clearly defined Ia render
unnecessary any explanations of their apparently
| early return. in order n ohvinie suspicion u

port world o gentilty may bc surprised by friends
| in the sccrc,-in houses into which tho sunlight
bcgins 10 struggle through partly opened shutters
| and blinds, revealing dcnse cobwehs, and Chnirs
| and sofas in sorrowfu drnty Ike uncuuth ghosts.
These persons take their meals the -ly, anl src
no, supposed 10 be in the city, much less "a, home"
Whenever discovered IN their temporary retreats
by their too curious friends. they present strange
contrast to the late gorgeous Displays at the fash
iopahlo watering places, where they shono the
brightest Of the bright anJ the gayost of Tho gay.

maid Transition state, n cross between Biddy and
the kitchen and Scraphansclinc and tho drawing
room. Not typcs, iudecd Of ncatnoss-nor. Il tho
truth must he told, of gool humor--but prcscuting,
withn, ccr'sn charms of grace that might bo more
attractive to that class of youths frotu whom solid
merchants ma lc, than tho radiance tha, flushed
upon them Ia Newport and Saratoga. Fired also M
well graceful they look, and no little iadcd, the
oxer,ion to be iashionaby uirtlliul having robbed
their cheeks of much OF tho vitality youth. These
ladies' may, md probably will find tie res, of their
| quiet covered up New York homes peculiarly
| grateful, after tho hcrce pleasure seeking aud
dreadful roar Of country dissipation which they
have recently gone through. Far he i.om Us the
| prevalent caumny that city fashion ltlcs, when

certain not to 10 recognized, tho
terror OF quiet country people. Oar
country cousins" arc human, and therefore
censor GUS and we can make oil allowances ior
their stories Of city misses In "pork pie" hats ru
rnlizing in shady groves, yachting parties.
Half the charms Of y country visit lost by
ots nate retention of the stiffness of city manners.
But on the whole, forced TO the conclusion
that ''goinf In tho country" ~ not healthy pro.
ceeding with our American aristocracy. The life
| giving walks among the daisies at early morning ;
the qret afternoon saunters by the sen. md the
nnc o'clock pillow, find no place among tic laws
of Newport and Saratoga. Dancing al night and
late suppcrs, never gave country girl her rosy
checks or olasc tread, nor--shsll We sly it her
hope of Heaven.
