NANTucKET, August, lS1s.
DEAR FREE Press Thirty miles out at sea,
a crescent of Hat sand, with irregular, bro
ken edgcS-that is the Island OF Nantucket.
In the middle OF the corcavc side of the
crescent is the quaint old village.
What do You think of living seventy years
(irom infancy to age) upon such an island,
and never knowing the world beyond it
Think what it is never to have seen river,
n forest, a city or mountain This happen
cd to one of the Macy family. True, the
old sea captains got him upon steamer,
at last, and took him to New Bedford, and
then To New York hut it WIS when he was
seventy years old. lie said, when he re
turned, that he was glad to have seen
the rest of the world before he died.
hut ii was evident that he still regarded
Nantucket ~ by tar the hest part of our
planet Mr.. Joseph Swain. who tells me OF
this incident, assures me that no people can
love their homes more than these ISLANDERS
do. Mr.. Swain was yoyagcr in pursuit Of
whales for many years, brit he has now set
tied down to rest in Nantucket, his native
island, because 1t is the hest place in the
world"
The only trouble about living on the
island Is that there is nothing to do here
now Those grand old days when the cap
tains were kings of the sea. and their lami-
lies an ari~tocracy, have passed away, ana |
the great industrial pursuit OF the ISLANDERS
has ceased. The ari>tocracy was founded |
upon the whalc,-a sufficiently large, hut !
not a permanent basis,
There is something pathetic in the decay |
oi the old families Of Nantucket. The MIN
i.ter told US, lust Sabbath, in his sermon,
that the population Of the island has dimin
ishtd from ten or eleven thousand las it was
years ago) To less than three thousand. One |
of the old lcoplc said to me, to-day. "Yes,
We are becoming less IN numbers every year
We give the young people good education,
and that is all We can do for them They
are compelled to leave us, to find an occupa-
tIon. Aud the old folks are dropping
away, one by one. 1t is really difficult to
see where it will end. But Nantucket will
always be inhabited by somebody. we think
