LETTER FROM PILGRIM.

MEssRs. EDIToRs Pilgrim has just read
in the "Gazette" Mr.. Meyers description and
eulogy upon the new and growing State Of
Southampton" A perfect Eldorado-an
Eden Of delight, and Goshen of Democra-
cy Pilgrim thinks there is some mistake
about it. Mr., Meyers dreamed that. He
had been swinging round the circle after
loaves and fishes and his platform without 2
name broke down. The light in his policy
lantern went out on election night. Over
come by the drowsy god his eyes closed slow
ly and he was In tbs fabled land of dreams
Scenes of grandeur, visions of beauty rose
before him, but when he awoke il was gone
like the mist from the mountain-tops Pill
grim in his meanderings once passed through
the "glorious State" of Southampton. We
saw no thriving yillages-no neat cottages,
with clambering honey suckles, no temples Of
prayer were seen lifting their gilded spires
heayenward. We saw one mill crowned with
the moss Of ages, there was no grain in the
hopper-the great wheel was still and motion
less. One School house stood by the way
side monument of negleet-its doors stood
aiar. The glass had fallen from the worm
eaten sash--no teacher was seen-no children
were there's gloom reigned within and desola-
ton without. We also saw the site where
once there stsod seat of learning but it
had been burned-not by lightning. Sad to
relate-great weeds grow there. Some ladies
were passed on the rugged highway-they
had taken no fancy to crinoline, their beauty
was of style which had no charms for Pill
grim. Some boys we're seen occasionally
emerging from the by-ways wearing nature 5
own moccasins, blue and bloodless. The
walking machines called men were of every
hue Pilgrim pen cannot describe them
they were subjects for the painter pencil and
the poets dream. One single object Of spe-
cial interest attracted Pilgrims attention,
a wagon bed supported by three wheels, mi
nus the tire, on which was dimly traced the
word "UNIoN ~ It suggested the thoughts
of a former age and of better race. Pill
grim's heart grew sad while he thought that
the dear relics of another cline sho uld moul-
der into ruins without sympathy amid such
surroundings 1t is historical fact that
waste, uncultivated lands produce weeds of
every variety, hence it is no marvel that
name less vegetables, are found in great
abundance in the State af Southampton Let
Meyers and Filler take courage, the glorious
State of Southampton is without Governor
