 We had q drive tO the Ccntrc, stopping

 cleur, nnd the blue heavens seemed tn

 tul stones with such a soft golden tiugc !
 the Cemetery wns robbed of half iis |
 glunm undscemcd thcyrstihulc of heaven. 1
 At the Centre we took in the uniet and |
 beauty of the town, which is certainly ,hc !
 plrileantcst in the State. Inoirud many
 Improvements mulH since lust visited l
 tho place. A drive from the Centre tn
 Sandy Hook was delightful and rlIe
 through the Glen Wus simply charming. |
 Some changes have been mdr there. |
 Some of the cyerSrGtIs have been filled |
 and changed the feature of the place in l
 tho ueiShborhood of the school house. |
 and lcIt the hills Il little bnld but there |
 are Il thousand beauties in tho Glen that l tho woU,mans axe can never destroy.
 The many hills in Ncwtown have ire ! quontIy been spoken of anI their praise |
 sung by your correspondents. They have not oycrdrawn them. Select almost any
 standpoint and look in any direction and
 you get fine view.
 We made upa small but very select
 party, consisting of your young friend
 "Zummi'' andyourhumbIc correspondent.
 aud went out on Ilt. Ncbo 10 see the sm rise. Thi5dcponcnt cannot tell you how long il had bccl since he had witnessed 1 such scene. We have sccn the sun rise frequently over the trees and buildings. ! but that k Il very different scene. From
 Mt. NChu one can see him the first mo-
 mcnt that he rises over the horizon, and 1 catch his first fresh smile and the first 1 twinkle of his golden eye. The sky WI. .
 clear. except few floating clouds above She horizon. Al the exact line of the
 horizon il was clear and we had an unob- |
 structcd view of him as he roso The |
 sky heraIdrd his coming by bIushiug pro-
 flscly with joy, and inc clouds changed |
 color. At first d thin edge of the sun .
 prcscHted itself and q few horizontal { bGams shot om over the hills and just 1 giIdcd the highest peaks while the valleys . were in gray shadows, and the lestdcn
 sha,lcs of night yet fingered ill the wes;-
 tern horizon. Soon he rounded out to i his full proportions and chased away all | the shadows in the valleys, and all the . grand old hills were agloW with light: . The western hills caught the golden . Then cloud which hung low down to-
 wards thc horizon temporarily obscurcd
 the sun. bu it only addcL beauty t0 the ul-
 ready cX,Iui~ttcly beautiful scene. The
 sun seemed to go under in" ciOud rrluc-
 tHnlIy and made up f,r its temporary ab-
 -,cncc ly tin9ing ali the clouds with cX-
 luisitr hue5 of crimson and gold, and
 painted sky glowing in colors which no
 Michael Angelo could ii proach with thr
 brush. Tine delicate purple of the leecy
 clOuld set in rnls of dazzling gOld, and lhc brilliant sky, all were of that indo-
 3crIubc and inmiilable hue that inspires
 while ii taniaizes the painter. Soon the
 sun rose above the cloud and a llool of golden light WaS spread over tue whole eastern sky and shOwcrcd down upon the landscape, aud every hill top, and every
 grove a.id tree and flower, and every blade of grass, gIowed in unison and praised God for the golden morning. We did not shout externally, and .'L,lmmi' made no outward sign, but internally our souls sang praises and shouted till God and the angels beard Us.
 The view from this height i% extensive. grand, Soui-iI5pirinG. There are nc towering Alpine peaks piercing the sky. but |. mighty stretch of blue wayy hill. . sweeping around in ] scnicircle with , picturesque amphitheatre of rolling coul- try within. Commencing al the south tn | the right of the view, Long Island Sound , lmd the blue island beyond aIc visible and following around towards the right the eye fails on the hills of New HayrI : County, then towards the north OH th, nils of Litchfield County, and to the ' northwest and west beyond Danbury, Oil E he distant hills in the State of New fork.
