not describe it at present at least not now,
but we can assure you that it is a wonder
worth a journey of many leagues to see |
and will not only entertain you, but add |
much TO your stock of information and |
pack up in the storehousc of your memory
much that it will he pleasant to rake out
for future deectation.
The theatrical season is " off to be sure,
but the charming and brilliant scenic ex-
travaganza of aladdin" at the Museum,
will satisfy all the dramatic longings of
reasonable mind in August, and then there
is the Tony Pastor troupe Mt the Boston
Theatre, if you really must have more.
We grant you that the metropolis of in
door amusement is taking its holiday, but
then the city is not only far from miserable
in the summer, but is very comfortable
and has many charms added to it by the
August sunshine and the "Public" becomes
a "fairy" garden in the evening; the Com
mon, and even the frog pond, have their
peculiar charms, and the Brighton road is
as gay as Long Branch at . o'clock in the
afternoon.
Excursions down the harbor to Nahant.

throbbing sounds Whil h came up to Us from
the streets as il were the beating Of the
citys heart when Suddenly we caught the
glitter of an unwoulci light far down the

remaining value was in the iron whereof
in part she was builded, had been towed
down into the sh lluW water near Deer
Island and set on fire. 1t was - CRANE
sight, her last death struggle with This
strange foreign power. For many yeai
she had battled bravery Wijh wave ant

wealth committed to her charge, but now
in her old age and feeblrncss. in a smnoll
sea and dreaming naught OF danger, tli
, new strange foe lcapt up and caught he
- in its blighting, whitening embrace. Th'
old ship trembled and ieebiy fought, bu
flames crcpt above flames, higher an,
