LoS6AkApOw HOUSE, Il. l.,
Aug. !, 1874.
We fell In love with the situation here
from the first. II Is In the country, no, a
brick In sight save In tie chimney, which
Is the only proper place for bricks; not =
traders or lawyers or other sign staring
at you and inviting you to step in and part
with your money; but long stretches Of
green meadow all about except in front.
with now and then "A small clump Of trees
and collections OF bushes; no glaring
white sand TO try your eyes and keep up
perpetual suggestion OF deserts. and heat,
and ar,dity. In front n beautiful lawn
slopes seItly down so the bay. which Is
more river than bay, and on Its surface up
and down as far as eve can see white sails
are spread TO the breeze and seem perpet-
ually filed with its refreshiog breath
Across the bay the landscape Is diversified
with fields, groves, cottages, aud few
villages, which give the impression Of
thrift, contentment and happiness; but af-
ter the misery unsheathed in Brooklyn 1t
Is rather unsafe TO predict from appear
ances exactly where happiness dvells.
The hotel is not hotel except In name,
but home. where you do as you please and
are not tied down to any fashions or form
aiitie. saye those that are always imposed
upon real ladies and gentlemen. Good
food, tidy rooms. clean beds, freedom. and
the salt mir luripU a r.p,v
hot term about as great . sense of contin-
uai comfort as can be gained anywhere
The nights are always cool.
The house has a wide piazza on 0ps side
and one end, and some part Of it is always
in the shade, and in the breeze. When
you get here, 1t yOg come with any proper
motives, you are seized wilb : spirit Of
placid content, q tendency to gentle re-
pose steals over you, your food digests.
your appetite comes boiss from its career
Of yssrsncy, your liver sets up business
again. and conscience stands BY with .

Of the upper Court,-that n II You are
proper man or woman.
About mile out in the water Is light
house, which stands at the outer point Of
sand bar. and ct low water the bar is
visible nearly all the way. II was near the
end of this bar that during the troubles
preceding the revolution the British man.
0f-war Gaspee WAS stationed, the vessel It
will be remembered that WAS successfully
attacked by the rebellious Rhode Islanders
under the lead Of John Brown of Provi-
dence. who for asght we know may have
been the ancestor OF John Brown Gf Hsr-
per's Ferry. AT any rate, the two Johns
were alike in impetuosity, devii.may-care
audacity, hatred Of oppression, and dispo-
sition to take the sbort cut to do away with
injustice.
On the other side Of the bay we see the
domains and favOrite haunts Of that royA
old savage King Philip, and every evening
about eight O'Clock We can seq the FAN
River steamer emerge from Mt. Hope Bay
on her way to New York. Providence
steamers are passing hosrly during the
day, and are constant objects Of Interest
in many ways. Some Of them have
boarders or friends Of boarders at the
house, and half an hour after landing At
&ocky Point the coach will bring them
With the iste nsws and the new coners to

is ever visited upon TIE baggage sf . tray
