tifirl lines which were written by one of Mr. Wil-
son's classmates on learning of the loss of his two
little boys :
Lent, not Lost.
All is riot lost that’s passed beyond our keeping,
Light is not gone though sight be dim with weeping;
Sweet voices stiflare sounds of love repeating,
Though heavy ears scarce catch the tones retreating.
Wave after wave, in endless circles flowing,
Breaks on the shore to which our barks are going;
Our parted treasures, waned there before us,
Torn-orrow‘s dawnjmuy safely all restore us.
The gales of heaven tlicirodorous freshness bringing,
With swifter speed our battered halls are winging,
And clouds that hide the stars from our discerning,
Qucnch not the distant bcacon‘s steady burning.
Brief is the space that from ourloved divides rrs,
Thin is the mist that from their haven hides us;
Soft hands on h'gh are beaconing signals holding,
White arms wait patient for our heart‘s enfoldrng.
There, whgrc from sight our blessed ones have van-
is re ,
There, whcre our'Father dear recalls his banished,
There lies the home that knowctlr no removing,
There lives the love that never needcth proving.
There dawns are pure and purple lights nnfading,
Oh happy brows dull sorrowcasts no shading,
There gentle souls of coming ills are fearless,
And eyes once drooping, shining now and fearless.
There-all, and always, dwell within His keeping,
Who sleepless carcth while our care is sleeping;
How can we dare to falter in our praying,
Their perfect bliss against our sorrow weighing?
Yet while we cease unwise and vein complaining,
We have but loaned, our little still returning ;
Love hath a lien that time nor death can sever,
Our own are ours, forever and forever.

Promise and Fruition.
BY W. M. L. JAY.
Spring with buds is lightly twining,
Boriglis so lately bare ;
Through whose rifts the sunset-shining
Gilds a maiden‘s hair;
Shows the youth beside her sewing,—
“Now, ere day is done,
Say, shall Autumn end our wooing,
And of twain make one 1""
Summer trippcth o’er the meadows,
Crowned with golden grain,
And the lovers, in cool shadows,
Sit and talk again. '
“Days,“ say they, “are shorter growing,
Southward drifts the sun ;
Autumn soon shall end our wooing,
And of twain make one.“
Autumn leaves are dying—dying !
Autumn breezes moan ;
Very still the maid is lying
On her bier alone:
While the youth her calm rest viewing.
Murmurs, “Death 1 art done ?
Why. if thus must end our wooing,
Dost then take but one .9"
Snow-wreaths pale two lone graves cover ,
chath the yew-tree’s shade ,
Softly sleeps the faithful lover
By the gentle maid.
What thejAutumn failed in do in g,
Winter-Snows have done,—
Eudcd is the lovers‘ wooing,
And the twain are one!

Correspondence.
sunrcn NUMBER 2.
In my last,I promised you an accounf(rnore
particularly), of the manner in which robbe-
ry was carried on in our great cities, and no
longer ago than to-day haveI heard more
upon the subject, voluntarily given by a mcr~
chant whom I happened to be in a business
conversation with.
It seems as nearly as I can gather the facts,
that towns of any considerable size, are reg-
ularly “worded" ouffiaud no thief is allowed
within the limits of a “brother” in the same
occupation, and when anythingis stolen from
a house, or from a person in that particular
neighborhood, the detectives know at once,
on whom to call, so it is not so difficult after
all, to trace out, What without explanation,
seem so nearly impossible. They all have a
set of words unknown to those “save the
ring,"—I have seen a dictionary of them,
myselfl—of‘some ten thousand words, and
phrases, which were about as inunderstanda-
ble to me, as Greek, and to any other person
except those by whom they are used.
one little knows ”how exposed he is at all
times, in public conveyances, surrounded by
strangers, and one cannot be too careful
- bout his valuables either at home or abroad.
I have, myself, lost some things in the most
unaccountable way possible, yet it could be
easily explained by those who had to do with
it, as a large reward will be almost sure to
return a lost wallet, or valuable watch, in a
manner which you cannot understand.
I know a gentleman well, who, going “up
town," New York, not long since, kept find-
ing his overcoat unbuttoued several time in a
few moments; he would button it and find
it open again. It was in the evening and
rather cool, so he wished it closed, yet wiry
it could not be kept buttoned, he could not
explain, nor did he understand it until a few
days afterwards he saw in the papers a full
account of a robbery on the horse-ears on
the line he Was on, at the same hour, which
caused him to understand the wirole matter.
Tire car was crowded, and lie was standing
and as persons passed by, (to could not tell
how) yet unbuttoned his coat.
Another instance—standing not long ago
in front of St. Nicholas. Hotel, N. Y ., during
one of our great proeensrons, with a detect-
ive, aparty of fellows was pointed out,
and watched, and in less than ten minutes
had accomplished one of their vile ends, and
as they had not acted u'lionori rbly,” some way
in the matter, they vi ere all arrested at once,
and locked up.
Speaking of “honor" iii such matters, let
me state whatthey consider “honor." A true
case, too, to illustrate with. Four thieves
start to rob a dwuliing. One sta “09 W810]!
and three enter by means of false I EYS, for a
lock is but little protection when an 830” is
made to force it. They secure twelv e huzi—
di'ed dollars and the three consent to xiividc
it among the four calling it a thousand. Tire
deceit is not kn iwn to the fourth party until
in due time the matter is published, and as
the fourth is not safisfacto'i-aily settled with,
so the offended fourth pr ,rty causes the arrest
of the other three, and he is sustained by
the “league," “"d We three are “sent OD."
and he is freed.
This “'in bi“ 03‘ plain why it is so easy to
get bail {01‘ those convicted, when discover-
ed accidentally, for such is often the case,and
“'0“ the 0010817 . to keep their positions must,

rant of' what , to them is well known, and
(“53“in hl’ .t to serve their own ends.
Will“? 1 3! .v, does not apply to police oili—
cers gemlfailly, but more particularly to the
detecting forces, and when we look into the
matter carefully we cannot but say that‘tlrings
are better as they are, though we despise
stealing as much as any one, and look upon
it as a great and certainly punishable crime.
But if I lost my watch, I should like to get
it back again, even if it cost me nearly its
real value and yet it seems too bad that the
world is not large enough for people to earn
a livelyhood in, by strictly honest and legiti-
mate means, and I cannot help venting an
angry word, on the impulse of the moment,
when several times I have missed certain ar-
ticles, too trifling to make a stir about, yet
know very well how they have gone ;
not more llran a year or so ago an old lady
friend of ours, while crossing Fulton Ferry
to Brooklyn, had her pocket really cut open,
and the contents (some hundreds of dollars)
taken in that myslcrious way that makes a
person suspect every one they meet with, a
thief, unless known to be otherwise.
However, I have written twice as much
upon this subject as I anticipated when I be-
gun, and in my next I will change they key,
and have another, and more lively (and I
hope agreeable) tune to play, and one that
will show the better side of mankind.

BROOKLYN, July 26th, 1867.
NORTH S'ronrive'ron, an,
' Aug. 6th, 18 .
Dean GAZETTE :—-You report are as going
East. Across the intervening space that sep-
erates us, let me tell you that I am not lost
amid the fogs of the “misty Atlantic,” nor
concaled in the pine woods of Maine. A few
weeks ago you told your readers about
“Watch Hill” by the sea, with its good ho-
tels, quiet surroundings, and fine beach.—
Watcli Hill,‘ let your numerous readers rc-
member, and satisfy themselves by a visit, is
a good place. But I am above Watch Hill;
I look down upon it. It seems but a ridge of
low land, marked by the waters of Longd --
land Sound. , Its three white hotels have"
open sea, dotted here and there with vessels”
for their back grouud. The ocean surf
swwps past, as if to fan their inmates with
its spray.; .I am upon the high lands of North
Stonington. Tire view here is wide and en-
chanting. Before me, as I look southward
beyond fertile farms and substantial farm
houses, beyond orchards and woods, twelve
miles away, is Long Island Sound; on my,
left, near at fraud, is little Sister Rhoda, who
though small in the sisterhood of States, has
made the impulse of her youthful heart to-
ward liberty of conscience, felt throughout
the world; on my right stretches the whole
length of my native State, whose rocks and
hills I love; far to the north lies the glorious
old Bay State, whose patriotic record is
justly our common heritage and the nation’s
pride.
Now, Dear Gazette, we will not boast how
swiftly we made the trip from Norwalk to
North Stonington. In our estimation speed
is not or erything. “Your vinegar," said a
townsman to a marketman, who had sundry
farm products for sale, , “your vinegar is not
very sour." “I know it," replied the compla-
cent dealer, “but it is a very pleasant sour."
We are as complacent and satisfied as the
distspenser of weak vinegar. If the swift
“Express,” snorting out contempt for all slow
coaches, flew by us without a sign of recog-
nition, it the Steamers, seen now and then
plowing through the Sound, quickly dis-
tanced us in the race, if the vision of other
journeys made in the same direction upon
the track, whispered of slow progress, we re-
torted the compliment by saying,“slow, truly,
but cery pleasant."
We left Norwalk on Monday p. m., July
29111, With blue sky and bright sun shine over
head, no dust under foot, and a cool northern
breeze to fan us. Rare combination of good
firings this season i The pleasant ride to
Bridgeport was a pledge of a good journey,
and the clear skies and pure air of Tuesday
morning, with fine roads through Stratford,
Milford and New Haven to Braniord, where
we found a good dinner and welcome rest
at the “Sotohel ," were the beginning of its
realization. Thence over the hills to Gail-
iord, and then along the “Shore Line," past
“ Pine Orchard " and “ Hammonasset,”
through Madison and Clinton. we found our
way to the quiet town, and-more quiet hotel
of Westbrook. During our evening ride
hither we came under the spell of a singular
delusion, which, before we were relieved,
really began to work upon our mental and
nervous constitution. As Jupiter rose above
the horison, over the Sound, wrapped and
magnified in mists, we exclaimed, “there is
Saybrook Light I" And Saybrook Light-,we
supposed it to be, wirile coming nearer and
rising higher if. secured to be almost above us,
and we wondered what should keep the mass
of water 1twixt us and it from pouring down
upon us. When forced to abandon the con-
jecture of a distant light-house, we thought
of a draw bridge near by, with ball up and
light in its place, imagination. of course,
helping on our deception as we were in a
strange place, and it was new dark. But
J upitcr rose on, and we were undeceived at
length, respecting Sabrook Light, 'whieh
shines qut as brightly here, as it did across
the Connecticut,on the evening of July 300..
Wednesday a. m., we made haste to Say-
brook, not to find its light, but its ferry. We
found neither; for to our surprise, when we
had driven quite to the river, we were told
that the ferry had been extinct for two years.
Five miles north, at Essex, we found a Char.
on waiting with his boat who lauded as safe
on the eastern shore of the Connecticut, but
upon a bad road, and in a hill country, and
far off our line of travel. Patience, how-
ever, and several hours of plodding over the
ridges and llrrough the woods of Lyme,
brought us to Nanric Bay, where, with wiret-
ted appetite we did ample justice to the good
dinner of “mine frost" of the Howard House.
Without further adventure we reached our
destination, a hundred miles from Norwalk.
Here with free scope for enjoyment, and
complete release from labor and care, in the
quiet home circle of dear friends we are rest-
ing for awhile. G.

Early on the morning of the 17th, we pass-
ed Point Judith, while the,waters wore sleep-
ing, which probably explains the fact, wiry
so many of the company escaped the pay-
ment of the annual tribute to the monarch
of the sea. At‘ 5 1-2 p. m., the same day, we
were safely piled up" to the wharf, in the
quiet city o'SNantuckct. This, with some of
us, was‘our first visit to this place, and I am
sure we were ' eably disappointed. The
streets re pa, (i (would the same could be
said of orwalk,) the houses of a good class,
the people pleasant and intelligent, and the
Ice 0r ' incomparable. Look to your
laure . , Norwalk King of Ice Cream man,
for verify the skillful fingers of Nantucket
maids and matrous, cunningly devise a dell-
cious compound, wonderfully agreeable to
the inner man. Tire first evening of our stay
in N. there was a concert in the Athlnneum,
by the Ellinger d5 Foote company, one of the
principal features being the performances of
Com. Foote and Miss Nestelle, people won-
derfully small as to size, but wonderfully
clever as to action. A large number of the
members of the Ocean and Neptune Clubs
were present, composing nearly one quarter
of the audience. The sight of so many male
bipeds was evidently a novelty, as we heard
one young damsel exclaim, as we were leav-
ing the hall, “Gracious! I never saw so
many men in my life; wirere did they all
come from ?" The population of the place
is estimated at nearly 6,000, and the number
of voters at about 500, or abou 12 men, wo-
men and children to every voter. The war
record of N. is sublime ! From its limited
population, capable of bearing arms, over
206 heeded the call of their country. What
other place can show a better record, or as
good 2 We are glad to learn that the pros-
.pect for business is improving, and there is
some hope of the good old days of yore be-
ing duplicated. Most of the 18th was spent
in Blue‘fishing. with good success, the fish
caught ranging from 4 to 10 lbs, and furnish-
ing a good supply for the table during the
entire trip. To add variety to our fishing ex-
cursion, some of us, as we crossed the bar,
where the water was very rough, caught a
duck, which event, caused for a few moments
almost as much excitement as the hooking
of a good sized blue fish. Nantucket, for a
qmet place, has the largest jaw it was ever
my fortune to meet, being nothing more nor
less than the jaw-bone of a 110 barrel sperm
whale, captured 2 years since. The speci—
men 18 feet long, is in a perfect state of pres-
ervation. It is one of the most interesting
and instructive sights in the city, and the
gentlemanly owner is ever ready to satisfy
the curiosity of the stranger. On the morn-
ing of the 19th, we started for the ocean
shore, where “glad waters of the dark blue
sea" sing a perpetual anthem. Some of the
gentlemen concluded to bathe and certainly
all things seemed propitious. The surf was
moderate, Old Neptune being in a playful
mood, the audience good; why not? But
Neptune’s smiles was like the Coquette's,
fair to look upon, but deceptive, for there was
more strength in his gamboling, than in the
mightest efforts of a giant. Some trusted
tlremselvos to his embrace, in such queer
fashion, that at times, both bathers and an-
dience lost their gravity, and the former, like
ships, stranded in a gale, would come ashore
with onlyhay-sails set. Our ct nveyanrai to
and from the shore were unique; a wagon,
with seats for 12, arranged like the seats in
our horse cars, and the whole establishment
drawn through the heavy sands of the Island
by one horse. If there is such a place as a
Horse-heaven, verily Nantucket horses will
have elevated stalls and green pastures. Our
Jehu,was a man well advanced in years,who
loves his native Island and his country, wh r
cheerfully gave the son of his old age, an of-
ferinc upon the altar of Liberty. The pleas-
ure of our stay at N., was mucir enhanccd by
kind attentions from the citizens of the place
and particularly are we indebted to Mr. J. B.
Macy, for many special favors, and we take
this opportunity of publicly acknowledging
his gentienranly conduct and to assure him
of our appreciation of the same.
At 1 p. m., with three hearty cheers for
Nantucket, which were as heartily returned,
we bade our friends farewell, and started for
Edgarlown. Tire wind was light, and our
progress was slow and for some hours we
were becalined upon the bosom of the deep,
until at lcnutthom a dark storm cloud came
the wished for gale, when, with

We arrived at Edgartowu a at 6 p. m.,
in the midst of a drencing atom, at as there
had been a drought for six weeks, and
We broubot the rain with us, we
were undoubtedly welcome. As we round-
ed into the Harbor, the old light house, the
promenade bridge, “ a quarter of a mlle and
six feet long,” the familiar front of the Ocean
House, looked like old familiar friends, for
the pleasant associations of a year agone,
could not be forgotten. The goddess of
winds and storms also favored us, for shortly
after our arrival, the clouds broke and the
rains ceased. Forming into line under the
direction of our inimitable Commodore,with
music in the van,we m ched through the
streets, waking the slum g echoes-of the
3 oodvold town; thus giving‘gto the ce our
ain‘augural. We found our ‘s‘way by in-
stinct; to the Ocean House, and re wed our
acquaintance with the Hostess, M orton,
and her entertaining family. The remainder
of the evening was spent in renewing ac-
quaintances, by those who were so fortunate
as to have any to renew, (among which num-
ber your unfortunate chronicler was not)and
in forming new ones. On the morning of the
20th it rained, with a strong east wind, un-
favorable to fishing, and thus it continued
for three days until we felt like saying with
Longfellow, "It rains, and the wind is never
weary," but the genial light of friendship and
the warmth of kindly greeting, made many
forget the unpropitlous state of the atmos-
phere. One of our number, undoubtedly
disgusted with the world, on account of the
depressing efiect of wet weather, concluded
__to improve the regular order of Monastery
life, by becoming a “Mrihké’nngf‘takiag the

the tone of his mind, and during the remain-
der of the trip was one of the gayest Lotha-
rio’s of the party.
One of the pleasantesgitems connected
with our stay in E. was t iaging in Mrs.
Norton’s parlor, on|Satur ay Eve by the
quartette club of the Neptunes. The clubs
attended divine service at the Methodist
church in the afternoon of Sunday and at
the Congl. church in the evening. By invlo
ta! ion of the choir, the members of the clubs
sang in the evening, Prof. Merriam leading
the singingand‘Trol. Disbrow presiding at
‘g'in quite safe in saying, that
the singing 'was‘euloyed immensely by sun-
dry impromptu members of the choir. The
walk home was like passing through the
shades of Erebus. The sidewalks in some
places are quite narrow, and in a dark night
the trees have an unaccountable habit of
jumping into the middle of said sidewalkgand
coming in violent contact withmoving bodies
--autics which are exceedingly delaterloua
to umbrellas and sascoptable young area.
However, at roll call next mo. hing, I believe
all the members, with one or two.exceptions,
answered to their names. Monday evening
was the occasion of the trip. The'Qeartette
Club, and others of the Neptune, gave a free
concert in the Town Hall which was consid-
ed by all to baa complete “new. Ifitia
true,
“The man that hath no music in himself
Nor is not moved with concord ofsweet sounds.
Is fit for treason. stratagernaand spoils."
Then were all the men and the women of
Edgartowu true and loyal, for certainly, the
Hall was filled to its utmost capacity with
an appreciative audience. There was pres-
ent, a large number of ladies, who, for beau-
ty or gentleness, can hardly be excelled and
the unmarried portion of the club. especially
came to the unanimous coacluaion, that E.
was one of the most pleasant places they had
ever visited. Yes, my friends i The promo,
nade bridge ‘is dangerously attractive on
moonlight evenings, but the Town Hall on
concert night is podliody irren'stable and “un-
conditional surrender," was in many cases
the motto ! If these things combined are
not enough to make a "Benedict” of a man,
what is ? I would not be surprised if some
“Neptune" should ultimately settle down by
the sea and declare, "when I said would die
a bachelor I did not think I should live till I
was married.” On Tuesday a. m. the 23rd
inst., the club concluded to start for
home. The tide was ahead and “a dead
calm rested on the see" but some, owing to
business matters, were anxious to commence
the return trip. I took my last walk in the
village, thinking to return in time for the
boat, but meeting the Commissary, I‘couclu-
ded I was safe in his company, as the vessel
would not go very far, without so important
an officer. After the Commissary had com-
pleted his purchases, we proceeded to make
some farewell calls. and heard, unmoved,
the farewell gun, for my companion had at
the wharf, a light skiff With which we could
soon overtake the larger 'vessel. Having at-
tended to this pleasant part of the pro-
gramme, we sprang into our skifi', and after
an easy row of 2 miles, found ourselves
again, upon the deck of our good ship, and
with some degree of pride, showed to the
sweltering ones on board (for the day was
warm) our boqnets, tied with gpiak ribbon,
which had been presented by' the hand of
friendship, as a memento of our pleasant ao-
joura, and then all reunited, with our genial
warm-hearted Captain at the helm, we wav-
ed our last adieu to Edgartowu. We send
our greetings to thee, fair Isle of the sea !
May all thy sons be brave and all thy dough.
ters beautiful, and while we cherish thee,
may we not be forgotten, but live in your
memory in fairer outlines than artistic skill
has given us. Long will the annual cruise
of ’67 be remembered by the participants
therein. Benremb. red we trust, with pleas-
ure and kindly feeling, and as we say fare-
well, it is with the hope that the future may
deal with us as generously as the past,
So fancy dreams. than may it be
