latter the villa Of the late Henry C.. DE-

secured at fifty per cent. discount from
the prices asked earlier in the season.
Two Thousand dollars was asked for the
DeRham cottage, tut its owner finally

Ogden villa, on Narragansstt avenue.

New York for one thousand dollars. The

The report has gone SbrOad very extan-
slvely that last years. rents were suS-
tanned, and that even better uriees vera
secured for cottages. This is false. Rants

have been rented so far average about
fifteen hundred dollars. MANY Of the

Mr.. Julian Hawthorne has written a
long letter to the Tribune culInf Tnin0
Mr.. George P4r5)Is L8lbTOp's recsutIV
published book, a Study Of TFasCthorylS.
in which he chsrges Mr.. Lathrop, his
brother-in-law, with very improper con-
duct, in the use of Ger ain family Dau-rg
etc., and sharply erit.cises Mr.. Iathrop's
estimate OF Hawthorne. The family
quarrel which ia thus laid bare appears
to US to be very unseemly one to be
spread before the public, the IaoTe es-
pecialiy Decau % Mr.. HawthOrn5's pub-
licstlon Of the particulars was wholly
unnecessary. His declared purpose il
to prevent the public from accepting Mr..
LatbrOp's work rs AZ authoritative ex-
preston Of the family opinion, and thst
might have been accomplished abso-
iuteiy by the publication OF a pleasant
note to that effect, declaring merely
that Mr.. LsyhTOp had pub
hshed only his own views
and opinions, and efeectuslly
hiding the family quarrel ont OF sight.
As 1t is, Mr.. Hawthorne has added
strength 10 the performance, which he
seeks to disCredit by telling Mr.. La
thrOp's readers what they dtd not know
before, that his work is founded upon
authentic family papers. The quarrel is
one with which the public has 10 proper
concern except to regret that Mr.. Haw-
tnorne has written Of it in 3 newspaper.

No more thy hand be laid
Upon the sword hilJ, smiling sore:
Oh for another such
The chargers reign 10 clutch
One equal voice TO summonnyictory,
Sounding thy battle-cry,
Brave darling of the soldiers choice!
Would there were one more voice!
G. gallant charge, too boldl
Oh, fierce imperiOus greed
To pierce the clouds that In their darkness
Slaughter OF man aud steed!
Now, stark and cold,
Among thy fallen braves thou lest
And even with thy blood detest
The wOltish foe:
But an! thou lest low,
And all our birthday song is hushed indeed
Young lion of the PLAIN,
Thou OF the tawny manei
Holly the soldiers hearts shall beat,
Their mouths thy death repeat,
Their vengeance seek the trail again
Where thy red doomsmen be,
But on the charge no more shall stream
Thy hatr-no more thy saber CLEAN
No more ring out thy battle shout,
Thy cry of victory!
Not when hero falls
The sound world appals:
For while we plant his cross
IneTe Is glory, even in the loss;
BUtwhen some craven heart
From honor dares to part,
Then, then, the grOan, the blanching cheek
And men in whispers speak,
Nor kiGh nor country dare reclaim
From the black Uepths his name.
Thou, wild young warrior, rest,
By all the prairie-windS caressed!
Swift was thy dying paug;
Even as the war-cIy rang
Thy deathless spirit mounted high
And sought Colum bias sky:
There, to the northwaTd far,
Shines a new star,
And from it blsZes down
The light of thy renown!

In cousins helmet disappearing;
II not, then Wisdom was n dame
For sCnnets and fO- serenadtng!
I thought the goddess cold, austere,
Not made for love S despairs and bliSSes;
Did Pallas wear her nair like that7
Was Wlsdom's mouth so shaped for kisses
The nightingale should ne her bird,
And not the owl, big-eyed aud solemn;
How very fresh she looks, and yet
she's Older far than Ir5j JAMS column!
The magic hand that carved this face,
And set this viue-Work round IL running,
Perchance ere mighty Phidias wrought
Had lost It's subtle skill and cunning.
Who was he? Was he glad or sad
Who knew to carve IN such fashion?
PeTchance he shaped the dainty head
For some brown girl that scOrned his passion
But he is dust: We may not know
His happy or unhappy story;
Nameless, and dead these centuries,
His work outlives him-that's his glory.
Both man and Jewel lay in earth
Beneath laya-buTied city;
The countless summers came and went,
With neither haste, nor hate, nor pity.
The years wiped out the mau but left
The jewel fresh as any blossom,
Till some Niscontl dug IL up
To rise and fail on Mabei's bosom.

Your gracious handi work has guarded
See how your loving. patient art
Has come, at last, 10 be rewarded.

And pains of helpless passion also.
