handling, perusing them with sorrow and
joy, smiles and tears. ‘
*Some are from a mother filled with gentle
admonition and tender affection, others from
friends and schoolmates, long dead, beaming
with affection, sympathy and friendship.
Not the modern friendship, that at a slight
misunderstanding is severed forever,but true
earnest and sincere, and there is a separate
packet, written in the delicate female hand of
one who was once light hearted and full _of
glee, and as you read the gay badinage, you
smile sadly, and so vividly is your imagina-
tion carried down the sea of Time that you
look ’rOund- to see if she is not looking
over your shoulder, as of yore, those smiling
lips almost touching your cheek, whose
dsncing‘:eyes riveted upon your counte-
nance.
.Why need you sigh ? God was merciful
and she died young. Do you say that hope
and happiness went from you forever, when
she died, and that your love has survived
time and the grave, and even now sWays a
heart which the world has indurated and
worn out. Perhaps so, but you are not the
only one who has known sorrow.
Ask of any aged person. Did you never
cherish hopes that fled as you grew older
like leaves before the blast of Autumn ? Did
you never find that in all your fondest aspi-
rations hope gave far more pleasure than rc-
ality ? They Will say—yes. -
Now are the old the only ones who have
known sorrow. Many a one whosa figure is
stlll erect, whose eye is still bright, can re-
call dark hours when all that they loved on
earth seemed taken from them, when, in the
bitterness of grief, life was dark and lonely,
when the sun and stars, mocked with their
brightness,.whcn their hearts, ached and bled
beneaththo load they carried, and those are
our limsorrows, masked beneath the smi-
ling faqes of those we see every day. Fate
has severed us from many friends who dwell
in distant lands, some sleep in peace beside
the churpbiyard; wall, their placid, bosoms
heave no Sigh at what passes in this tumul-
ous and unstable world before whose strange
vicissitudes earth’s idols how. The tides of
life flow past; Thousands of hearts, throb-
bing with some anxious thought or worldly
scheme, pass them unnoticed by.
The seasons willroll around. The old will
be called away, the middle-aged become old
the children waited on in'years on wings of
hope. Truly, we are all passing away, pass-
ing away. And to all .will come the day
when Father Time will place his hand upon
our heads and say, '
“My child your labor on earth is done;
And now you mustjourney afar to see
My elder brother—Eternity.

February 19th, 1866.
Now for the Good Work.
We hope that every town and school dis-
trict throughout F airfield County is by this
time thoroughly organized. If not, we on-
treat our friends who love the Union to lose
not one moment in perfecting such organiza-
tion. There is scarce a single school district
in the whole County that is not honored by
the residence therein of at least one Um'on
soldien‘. To the soldiers we appeal, for they
know the power of organization, and the ne-
cessity of discipline and a knowledge of their
men. True, the bloddy fight against rebel-
lion in the field is at an end, but the same
party which refused you your vote when
breasting rebel bayouets—which taunted you
as “ Lincoln Hirelings”—Which encouraged
your enemies in front by their incessant fire
in the rear—this party is now more arrogant
than ever, and has the shameless audacity to
ask for soldier! votes! Let the Shout Dc-
mocracy shed their crocodile tears and wash
off the infamy of their disloyal record if lliey
can, but let every man who sustained the
Union soldier in the field, and the Union
cause when they were away, he at once on-
GANIZED and ENROLLED. so that all may
march again to the music of the Union and a
victory over the cohorts of Disloyalty.

Another New Road!
We dislike to startle the excitable DEl'VeS
of those who chronically oppose the growth
and prosperity of Norwalk, but we cannot
repress our own gratification at the an-
nouncement, authoritatively made to us, that
it is in contemplation to open a wide avenue
from near the Mrs. Thaddeus Belts’ home-
stead, through to the old Saugaluck road.
This Will open up a section of as picturesque
rural beauty as the renowned “Hilllrouse
Avenue” of New Haven. We learn that
the Betts estate and Mr. Henry T. Morgan
are willing to give their land for this impor-
tant public improvement, and that the town
will only be asked to lay out. and make the
road, which it can abundantly afford to do.
As there are no water powers along the line
of this proposed avenue, We presume our
Board of Selectmen will not hesitate to carry
out the instructions of any town meeting
which shall order it, and we at least shall
have a chance in urging its construction-as
we earnestly do—to Show that in our advo-
cacy of public improvements we are not act-
uated by that narrow selfishness which, upon
another and similar occasion, was so freely
and untruthfully charged.

GovEnNon on THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT:
A Proclamation.
Moved b the example of my predecessors,
by a consciousness Of our personal and na-,
tional' dependence upon God against whom
we have sinned, and by the assurance that
he is “ merciful and gracious, long-sufi‘eru’i
and abundant in goodness and truth ;
hereby recommend to the citizens of Cour-
monwealth, the observance of FRIDAY, THE
TamTIETII DAY OF MARCH NEXT, as a day
Of public Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer;
~ and earnestly urge them. to a penitential
confession of their sins, and to the exercise
of a living faith in the atonement and medi-
stion of Jesus Christ for pardon and recon-
ciliatio'n‘with God. . ‘_ -
'In connection with our patience let us
pray that God will give the Presrdent of the
United States and all others .who are called 1
to perform executive, legislative and JudlClal
functions, such a sense of justice and of con-
stitutional ' obligations, as shall inspire in
them unity of action and secure public har-
mony. - . _ . ,
Also, that honest industry may be reward-
ed, that virtue and integrlty may be regarded
as of priceless va no, that Intemperance and
that the ignorant
may be instructed, that pure religion may be
revived, that we maybe preserved, from the
pestilence which now threatens the nation,
and that our recent bitter experience result-
ing from rebellion may teach us and all na-
tions to guard the rights of humanity with
jealous solicitude. _ , _ _
In the exercise of Christian charity let us
renew our pledges of loyalty to the national
Government, of devotion to truth and right-
eousness, and of fidelity to the, cause of our
Redeemer, humbly relying upon Him for
grace and strength to fulfill our new made
vows. ' _
Then may we hope that national unity
will be fully restored, our Government be
permanently established, equal and exact
justice be secured to every citizen,_ and the
requirements of God’s law be cordially rec-
ognized and obeyed.
“Then shall thy light break forth as the
morning, and thine health shall spring forth
speedily; and thy righteousness shall go be-
fore thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy
reward.”

Band Concert.
A'Conc’ert' is to be given at Ely’s Hall,
South Norwalk, Wednesnay evening, by
the Norwalk Band. Their late entertainment
up-town, although a very pleasant afiair,
was not a pecuniary success, and we trust
that the present Concert .Will be very largely
patronized and result in a decided “benefit”
to the Band. The Concert will embrace
vocal as well as instrumental music, by local
talent.

H. Benecict and Robert Ells. Refreshments
were served, and the entertainment was en-

’ @The Fenian excitement continues in
Canada and in the American newspapers.
The Canadians now find things slightly
changed, and forgetting all about harboring
rebels and encouraging raids on our frontier,
beg of us to prevent the Fenians from cross-
ing the border. There is no danger of any
Fenian raids on Canada, in our opinion, but
the Canadians are welcome to make them-
selves as miserablc as possible over the ex-
pectancy. This whole Fenian movement
seems to us not only very foolish in theory,
but in actual fact a monstrous humbug. We
judge so, because so far as we can see, the
Irish masses have no sympathy in the
movement, but on the contrary fear it. Cer-
tainly in Connecticut, every Irishman is not
a member of the order, and if an invasion of
Canada should take place on St. Patrick’s
Day, as predicted, not a corporal’s guard of
Fenians could be found in this State to join
in the movement.

The Copperhead press are immeasurably

President Johnson’s speech to the disloyal
mob which were booting and shouting about
him on the occasion of Washington’s birth-

most ofllcious in escorting the President to
his platform that day was Thomas B. Flor-
ence, editor of the Washington “Constitu-
tional Union,” which, as an organ published
throughout the war in the interest of the re?
bellion, was as notorious as the fact tha

: the Catholic portion of our Celtic people is
iii if terrible state of agitation. Eilglllid, af—
ter bitterly denouncing this nation for ma
pending the habeas corpus when its life was
attacked by the rebellious States, now does
the same thing-l because Femans at home and
here shout. “Liberty for Ireland!” Irish-
mcu, seeing that their countrymen arc in a
fair way to go in search of the soul of Em-
mett, become indignant, and in obedience to
the call of the President of the Irish Republic,
whose capital is the late_Dr. Mofi'att’s splen-
did mansion in Union Square, (a queer place
for a capital, isn’t it,) assemble at Jones’
Wood on a Sunday and have a good time
generally. The more’sacred the day, the ho-
lier the deed, thought they; but in so think-
ing they differed from Archbishop McClos~
key, who forbid them doing so, and assailed
the Fenian organization as wrong in princi-
ple and injurious in its tendency. What in-
fluence did that Prelate exert over his flock?
Had you seen the immense throng Wendlng
their way to the Woods on foot, in carriages,
wagons. or in and on the cars, you would
have said—"Just mite at all!" And so
thougllt‘I, asIlookcd at the people, who
acted as if they believed they had only to go
to the meeting, and after listening to ambi~
tions demagogues pass certain violent but
silly resolutions, England would go down on
its marrow bones and, Ireland would be freel
I never saw so many traveling to the Woods,
or the cars so crowded inside, outside and on
top, as on that occasion, and the sight sug-
gested some thoughts _ 1st. I wondered how’
religions the people were who would hold
political meetings on such a day, and what
would be said if either Of‘ the political par-
ties-did that same thing. 2d. I thought lIOW
sacred must be the cause that could only be
sustained by Sunday meetings, as its sup-
porters could uot spare time on any week
day to attend. 3d. I reflected on the value
of an oath of" allegiance, and .how deeply
those who .took it felt interested in their
adopted homes. 4th. I remembered the four
years of civil strife, the New York riots,
when the writer’s house was threatened Sim-
ply because hc said the Government must be
sustained, and thought how much love our
Celtic friends then manifested for American
liberty. 1 do not find fault with men for
feelinga deep interest in the land of their
birth, nor with Irishmen for their opposition
to the civil and religious tyranny of England,
nor have la y sympathy with a nation
which furnished Alabamas and Floridas and
material aid for rebels, but I do feel sorry
that so many persons are duped by leaders
who know how to get money from poor
working men and servant girls for Irish
bonds, and how to keep the same. If the
Object of the leaders be to involve us in
trouble, they will be disappointed; for, if the
President does not. harmonize with Congress
on Southern matters, he will not foolishly
compromise the honor of the nation by lis-
tening to the exciting appeals of flint portion
of the people. '
For the past five days we have had March
weather in earnest. The Winds have whirled
the clouds of dustinto our eyes, nostrils and
months. until each one felt ready to cry-—
“Hold! enough!" Storekeepers suffer as
well as their exposed wares, as trade is dull.
In‘a few days snow clouds will disappear,
winds will abate, weather will moderate, and
the streets be cleaned, for the Mayor has
promised to have them attended to by the
17th iinst, when St. Patrick’s birthday is to
be celebrated, and his followers requested
His Excellency to attend to that matter, as
they did not wish to have their polished
boots soiled by street manure! We area
patient people, and therefore will abide the
course of events. The Legislature having
stopped quarrcling over the Health bill,
passed the same, and so Street Inspector
Boole vacated the post which be filled for
but years. He understood how not to do it
as well as most men, and hbw to make the
people pay dearly for the same.
The Health Commissioners have organ-
ized, and in view of the filthy condition of
the city. of its nuisances, and the anticipated
approach of the cholera, have adopted mea-
sures which Will initiate a thorough reform
in the sanitary affairs of the city. Every
house and lot has been examined, and a re-
port of its size, state or condition, popula-
tion, &c., has been furnished, so that they
nave valuable information before them, pre-
paring them to act wisely. The health of
adjoining States is indissblubly connected
with that of thiscity; for, if cholera or any
other contagious disease obtains a footing
here, the effects thereof will be felt by them.
The Address of the Republican State Com-
mittee of Connecticut has the ring of the
true metal. Let her citizens faithfully do
their duty in April as her soldiers under her
gallant leader performed theirs on the field,
and Connecticut will not be ashamed of
their decision. *
