City and Country Life.
If you choose retirement, the country is not the
place in which to seek it but some thoroughfare of
the city, where you may become a hermit indeed.
There, one row of bricks and the attendant mortar
separate you completely from the moving, breath-
ing counterparts ofyourself so near you. The sound
of your voice, be it mellifluous with soft emotions,
or harsh from the petty trials of life, greets no ear
outside your walls; the odor ofyour steak sails up
the chimney, mingles with a thousand odors, and no
curious neighbor sniffs it upon the air to pronounce
it a dinner fit for a vegetenarian. The butcher may
stop before your door daily or weekly and no one is
the wiser; your fish enter your kitchen with scales
uncounted; yours may bea “dinner of herbs where
love is,” or sumptuous feast with discontent, and
the world around you cares not, inquires not. The
interest ofyour friends is very pleasant, but when it
degenerates into curiosity, it ceases to be agreeable
logger. To enter these narrow city doors and shut
out the crowd is orelief. We go out, meet them,
study them, cheer ourselves with the endless variety
of feature and expression, bringing back much ' food
for thought. Among these strange faces, some eu-
- trance us with their beauty, some with their intel-
lectuality, some plain ones, by their variety 'of ex-
pression; we take a pleatiure in seeing the fa-
millar faces in our walk, though personally
strangers. There is a mystery, but one great
source of delight it certainly is, this disin-
terested admiration, this exultatiou in the beau-
ty of another. But those we have observed can ob-
serve us no longer, when once within our home.
we are as far removed him all, save our few selec-
tions, as ifan ocean rolled between us, ' as little re-
membered as if we had never met. Not so-the c‘oun-
try; you pass out ofdoors, your solitary figure is a
living, moving relief in the landscape, and every, one
who sees you knows you. You are observed and
criticised, while you haveno opportunity to return
the compliment, and when you enter your domicil
again, your friends are'just discussing you, your
parsimonyor extravagance, your manner, gait, ap-
pearance. You have seen green fields, flowers, and
fine prospects, but a walk 'of the some distance in
town would have 'calledforth enlivened emotions
som.
In the country, too, if you love the study of‘mau-
kind. you can but be 'exceedlug'curlous of the few
specimens of humanity about, heucé, what in the
city might be termed penetration, there might, {rem
your limited opportunities, be classed under the ,
head of prying curiosity. In cities you ponder, won-
der, imagine; in the country you pry into, grow
positive and know. In the later, antecedents are
raked up, ancestors are dugup, arrayed before an
earthly tribunal when they have reposed for years
undisturbed. Peculisrlties of character are exager- .
ated, time gives you a chance to invest people
,with imaginary faults—since we are always a little
(f) inclined that way. A curtain letdown, on non.
sun] light ofan evening, a strange vehicle. an arri-
val, give great cause for speculation.
The study of nature elevates the soul, but we
should remember that we are socral animals, and a
woman, more phatfculnrly, when she cannot select
those with whom she can sympathise with, falls
back upon herself, like a person with the famine
staring her in the face, she is ready to devour herself,
she wastes herself upon her own emotions, she cor-
rodes and rust: away. This everlasting routine of
life demands its constant polish, and contact with
kindred souls gives that polish. ,
A De Foe might imagine a solitary island life, but
different indeed would be a woman's picture of that
life ; instead of an ingenious tale, it would be a wall
of long years, a yearning, for companionship, and
uucsaslng desire to protect andbe protected, a mere
llv‘fngde'ath. Ispeak not of that class whose whole
greet architecture oflife seems to have but few sculp-
tured niches, and those satisfmtorily filled by a. pet
parrot, dog, or bird, but rather of those so formed
by nature up to ueedto be drawn out in kindly ‘in-
5‘ tergs‘t in their fellows. , For such a city is‘tbe true

West India Correspondence.
ST- THOMAS, April 17th, 1865.
Iavail of the first opportunity to report
my arrival here on the eve of the 13th,
twelve days from New York. From ,‘the
dreary Northern winter, or blaster-ing,
treacherous Spring, the change to the per-
petual balmy atmosphere of the Tropics, is
we,vvere_to the southward of the Gulf, and
thought no more of stems or chilling blasts.
Onward ‘still we went with the speed of a
steamer, until we reached the.Lat. 24° the
sixth day, having now made fully three-
quarlers of one voyage; there the wind.
died away'suddeuly, and left us three days
becalmed. A calm at sea in a sailing ves-
when limited as lo time, as in my case, but
still more trying on returning to friends and
home after a long absence. However, I-
still had four days to spare after my arrival
here .; and the voyage having been pleasant
and agreeable, I had no cause to regret hav-
ing taken this route in preference to Ha-
vana. There were three other passengers,
one of whom was one of those peculiar
people whose creed forbids the use of‘ meat,
exceptthose-animals that “divide the hoof
and chew the end.” or of fish, except it has
“fins. and scales.“ He was always ready
with an argument in support of each article
of his creed; fortified generally by some
passage of the mosaic law. While over.
scrupulous about some articles of diet, I
noticed he partook freely of pastry, without
swine was used in its preparation. He
provided himself with “unleavened” or
“Passover" bread, for the holy week, a part
of which we pasSed on board; and accor-
dingly to his creed he should not partake of
any other; but he seemed to think eating a
portion of thatieach day would purify or
enleaven whatever he had previously eaten.
However, with all his peculiarities, he was
a learned and intelligent man, spoke five
languages fluently, and was a very agreea-
ble companion. Indeed, he was as so-
cial and jelly a ban clean: as ever frowned
upon ham and salt pork, or sickened at ,the
sight of oysters and lobsters.
Such a conglomerate of nations” lun-
guages, races and crecds as the inhabitants
of this Island, cannot be fouud'any where
else in the same proportiOn.‘ The prevail-
ing language is English, although alarge
proportion of the people likewise speak
German, Spanish and French. A stranger
might be here. a month without heal-fag the
native language, Danish, spoken. Probably
not one in len that are born here can speak it.
More than three-fourthsare.Christians, di-
vided into Catholics, Episcopalians, Dutch-
Reformed, Lutherans,- Momviaus and Metho-
dists. The Jews are likewise well repre-
sented, and are a .very ‘ respectable. and
wealthy part of the community. - I remem-
ber one old film, of more than twenty years
standing, composed of Jervs and Gentiles.
They had their store upon a corner, and on“
Saturdays thedobrs upon one of the streets
were closed in observance of the Jewish
Sabbath, and on Sunday they .. were opened
and the other closed, in observance _of the
Christian Sabbath, while business went on
as usual on both days. It seemed to me
an ingenious arrangement to secure business
seven days in the week. ‘ The firm is still in
existence but I understand have abolished
'Sabbatbs each week.
It is pleasant to come from our once free
country, to one that is still free; where you
can quench your thirst withoutthinkiugof
the excise duty it has paid; regale yourself
with a choice untaxcd Havana, lit from an
untaxed lucifer; and where these odious
stamps, of Revolutionary memory, are not
required. I hope I may live to see the day
when they can be abolished again in the
U. S. It seems to me this would be a suit-
able aud convenient place for some of our
countrymen of large fortunes to move to;
whose love of money overcomes their pot-
riotism when making up their annual in-
comes, sometimes mortifying their family
and friends upon the exhibition of the rcc~
ords. This is virtually a free country, and a
free port; being a sort of Commercial De-
pot for many of the other Islands, and some
Countries on the Continent. The merchants
pay the Government a nominal duty OH 14
per cent. upon what they receive; but it is
left with them to declare the amount, as
there are no officers to take an account of any
thing landed.
There is but little fertile soil upon the
Island, the chief supplies of meat and vege-
tables and fruit are brought from Tortola
and St. Johns. They are also dependent
upon the heavens for their supply of water,
There have been several occasions within
my remembrance when the cisterns were
so nearly empty, from a protracted drought,
water; and itisso low now, in the tanks
iron which the shipping are supplied, that
they hove-advanced the ~price from one to
5 .ur cents per gallon. The cisterns of pri-
vate residences rarely fall.
_ This being the Depot of steamships con—
necting Europe with the West India Islands,
Venezuela, Mexico and the Pacific coast,
,adds much to its importance; and causes a
great deal of‘ hustle and excitement upon the
arrival and departure of twelve to fifteen
steamers twice a mouth, wilh ruins, mer»
chaudise and treasure from all parts of the
:world. Gold from California, silver from
the South Pacific Coast and Mexico, are
{brought here by the intercolonial steamers

.W. Clemens ofthe signal corps.
the negroes of the river ascertained that the ,
amount of treasure sometimes exceeds two
millions dollars by one steamer. This place
too, is somewhat famous as a naval station
for ships of war from different nations.
When I was last here at the close of 1862,
my mind was a good deal exercised, and I
must confess so irritated at times that I was
(obliged to“let off,” or “bust” with indigna-
tion, to find nearly all my old acquaintances
here, on the 'side of the South; extolling
their superior skill and bravery, and denoun-
cing and maligniug the Government and
bred terms. The American war was the
subject of conversation wherever I went.
Some now are frank and courageous enough
guished men in England; bl“ the majority
the wavering fortunes of the “Confederacy”.
in silence, though with suppressed pain and
mortification. And these changes too, are
pleasant to every one coming here who.
loves his country, and the cauSe for which
the Government is contending. , ..
The laboring portion of the population of
the Island, and the servants, are Africans,
the year 1848. The change seems beneficial
to both races. My observations extend back
unkindness and ingratitude of servants as I
did before emancipation;
states. I was agreeably surprised, and
pleased, to observe in the multitude passing
to and from the churches yesterday and
Good Friday, a large proportion of blacks,
of both sexes, gentecly dressed, and com-
portiug themselves with all the grace and
dignity of a cultivated people. They wor-
ship together in the different churches with-
out much inconvenience to either, while it
isanoticeable fact that the two races are
more distinct now than before emancipation;
and such I have no doubt will be the case
in the Southern States after a time. Eleva-
ting the blacks does not degrade the whites;
The prejudice against race and color gradu-
ally diminishes after emancipation, as each
sees and acknowledges his dependence upon
the othl-z' for their comfort and prosperity.
I leave on the 19th for San Domingo, and
may have something of interest to offer from
there; as I see by the steamer just arrived
from England, that the Spanish Cortez vo'
ted on the first of April to give up that
Island, by the decisive vote of 163 to 68.
The change will no doubt take place imme4
diatcly, and cause some commotion, if not
confusion. PAISANO.

Presiden t Lincoln in Richmond
“Carleton," the correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal, describes the advent of Presi—
dent Lincoln in Richmond as follows:
I was standing upon the bank of the river,
viewing the scene of desolation, when a
boat, pulled by twelve sailors,came up stream.
It contained President Lincoln and his son,
Admiral Porter, Capt. Penrose of thearmy,
Capt. A. H. Adams of the navy, Lieut. W'
Somehow
tall man wearing a black hat was President
Lincoln. As he approached I said to a
colored woman :
“There is the man who made you free.”
“ What, massa ?“
“ That is President Lincoln.”
“ Dal. President Linkum?”
" Yes.”
She gazed at him a moment, clapped her
hands and jumped straight up and down,
shouting “ Glory, glory, glory ?" till her
voice was lost in the universal cheer.
There was no carriage near, so the Presi-
dent aud his son, walked three-quarters of a
mile up to Gen. Weilzel‘s headquarters—Jefi'.
Davis’s mansion. What a spectacle it was !
Such a hurly-burly-——such wild, indescriba-
ble, ecstatic joy I never witnessed. A color-
ed man acted as guide. Six sailors, wearing
their round blue caps and short jackets and
bagging pants, with navy carbines, was the
advance guard. Then came the President
and Admiral Porter, flanked by the oflicers
accompanying, then six, more sailors with
carbines—twcnty all told—amid a surging
mass, of'meu, women and children, black,
white and yellow, running, shouting, dan-
ring, swinging their caps, bonnets, and hand-
kerchiefs. The soldiers saw him and swelled
the crowd, cheering in wild enthusiasm.—
All could see him, he was so tall—so con-
spicuous. '
One colored woman, standing in a door
way, as the President passed along the side-
walk, shouted: Thank you dear Jesus, for
this! tlmnk you Jesus 1" Another stand-
ing by her side was clapping her hands and
shouting “ Bless dc Lord 1"
A colored woman snatched her bonnet
from her head,whirlcd it in the air, scream-
ing with all her might, “ God bless you mas-
sa Linknm."
A few while women looking out from the
houses waved their handkerchief‘s. 'Onc la-
dy in a large and elegant building looked
awhile, and then turned away her head as if
it were a disgusting sight
President Lincoln - walked in silence, ac-
kuolwcdging the salutes of officers and sol-
diers and of citizens, black and while. It
was the man of the people among the people
Il was the great delivcrcr meeting the deliv-
ered. Yesterday morning the majority of
the thousands who crowded the streets and
hindered our advance were slaves. Now
they were free, and beholdiug him who had
given them their liberty. Gen. Shephey met
the President in the street, and escorted him
to Gen. Weilzel’s quarters. Major Stevens,
hearing that the President was on his way,
suddenly summoned a detachment of the
Massachusetts 4th Cavalry and cleared the
Wit .
After a tedious walk the mansion of Jcfl'.
Davis was reached. The immense crowd
swept round the corner of the street, and
packed the space in front. Gen. Weltzel re-
ceived the President at the door. Cheer
upon cheer went up from the excited multi-
tude—two~tlrirds of whom were colored.
The officers who had assenbled were pre-
sented to the President in the reception room
of the mansion.
Judge Campbell, once ‘ on the Supreme
bench of the United States, who became a
traitor, came in and had a brief interview
with the President in the drawing room.—
Otber citizens called +thosc who have been
for the Union through all the war.
The President then took a ride through
the city, accompanied by Admiral Porter,
peeple of the North in the_ most unmea’ss
to acknowledge their errors, like some distin-r
hear the news of Federal successes, and of '
or of African descent, and were slaves until;
more than thirty years; I hear quite as lit-‘
tle complaint now from housekeepers, of the,
and certainly-
much less than is heard in the Northern,
Gens. Shepley,Weitze1 and other officers.—
Such is the simple narative of this momentous
ever; but no written page or. illuminated
canvass can give therealityofthe event-the
enthusiastic bearing of thepeopIe—the blacks
and poor whites who have suffered untold
horrors during the war, their demonoustra-
tions of pleasure, the shouting, dancing, the
thanksgivings to God, the mention of the
name of Jesus—as if President Lincoln were
next to the.,Son of God in their afi‘ections—
the jubilant cries, the countenances beaming
with unspeakable joy, the tossing up ofcaps,
the swinging of arms of a motley crowd—-
some in rags, s'ome bare-foot, some wearing
pants of Union blue, and coats of Confeder-
ate gray, ragmuffius in dress throughiflthe
{hardships of war, but yet of stately bearing
—men in heart and soul—freeman henceforth
{and forever, their bonds cut asunder in .an
hour-men from whOse limbs the chains hung
yesterday morning, men who through many
.wear'y years have prayed for deliverance—
mwho havcasked sometimes if God: more
dead—who, when their children were taken
i-from them and sent to the sWamps of (South.
Carolina. and the cane brakes of Louisiana,
cried to God forhelp and cried in vain—who,
told their sorrows to Jesus and asked. for
help but hhd no helper—men who have been
whipped, Scourged, robbed, » imprisoned, for
no crime; All of" these things must be kept
in remembrance if we would have the picture
complete. * ' .
