IN VACATION.
The sun has marked me for his own;
I’m growing browner day by day;
I cannot leave the fields alone;
I bring their breath “Way.
I put aside the forms of men,
And shun the world’s consuming care,
Come, green and honest hills again!
For ye are free and fair.
How wonderful this pilgrimage!
On every side new worlds appear.
I weigh the wisdom of the sage,
- And find it wanting here.
I crave the tongues that Adam knew,
To question and discourse with these,—
To taunt the jaw withjacket blue,
And quarrel with the‘bees.
To answer when groosboak calls
His mate; to mock the catbird’s screech;
The eleven crew’s, with nasal drawls,
The orlole’s golden speech.
Now through the pasture. and across
The brook, while flocks of sparrows try
To quit the world. and wildly toss
Their forms against the sky.
A small owl from the thistlectops
Makes eyes at me, with blank distrust,
Tips ofi'upon the air, and drops,
Fiat-footed, in the dust.
The meadow-lurk lifts shoulder-high
Above the sward. and, quivering
With broken notes of ecstacy.
Slants forth on curved wing.
The patient barn-fowls strut about.
Intent on nothing every one.
A tall cock hails a cock without,
_A grave hen eyes the sun.
The gobbler swells his shaggy coat,
' Porteutous of a conquest lure; '
His harm's pipe their treble note,
Round shouldered and demure.
The clear-eyed cattle calmly stop
To munch the dry hnsks in the rack;
0r stretch their solid necks, and crop
The filnges of the stack.
But night is coming. as I think;
The moving air is growing cool;
I hear the hoarse frog's hollow chink
Around the weedy pool.
The sun is down. the clouds are gr‘y,
The cricket lifts his trembling voice.
Come back again. 0 happy day.
And bid my heart rejoice!
m
A SOLDIEB’S CONTRIBUTION.
The sun went down in blood,
And gory was the field
That drank that day the crimson fiood,
By which a comrade heeled.-
With sadness on his war worn fie,
The feelings of his heart;
He made that spot a burial place,
A sad, but noble part.
He dug a grave with broken spade; ‘
A grave not very deep;
And a blanket there his comrade laid.
Around his last long sleep.
“ I leave thee, comrade, now," be said,
“ Thy work, not mine, is done,”
And quickly to his corps he sped.
And charged his empty gun.
The moon obscured gave little light;
He found his war-'worii corps:
Upon his gun he slept that night,
. And slept the sleep of war.
Behind stone walls our forces slept,
Assured by sentry’s tread;
The foe across Potomac crept,
And left to Ill their dead.
A dream; a sad, and dream,
Came o’er one weary brain;
His home was bathed in one bright gleam.
Which smiled upon the grain.
With gladdened faces, friends came out,
His sister, father, mother,
With anxious eye and Welcome about, ,
To see their son and brother.
The greeting o’er. in love profound,
They listened to his story,
- A grave was made on the battle ground,
For a comrade, stark and gory.
But where is she, the anxious Jane,
By marriage still my sister;
It was as much for her I came,
Yet well that I have missed her.
That comrade brave, whose grave Imade—
Prepare to hear it, mother——
' Your eye may dim—your color fade;
That comrade—was my brother.

0 \Vho are to Blame!
Who are to blame that so many of our
young men acquire a taste "for alcoholic
drink, and are fast going down to the drunk-
ard’s doom ? We answer, young ladies are
to blame. For as Eve gave that first wick-
ed apple to Adam,
“Whose mortal taste brought death into the world
And all our woe with loss of Eden."
so it is often Eves’ daughters of the present
day who offer the first and fatal glass of
wine to the innocent youths who have not
the moral courage to say “No,” when fair is
the hand and sweet the lips that urge.
Girls, why do you give wine to your young
gentlemen friends ? Is it because you think
they will visit you oftener ? Oli, whats poor
compliment you pay your own charms, and
a worse than poor compliment you pay
your friends !
A young man at the West was fast be-
coming snared by the fatal cup when a friend
induced him to sign the pledge. This he
sacrediy kept for about a‘ year, notwith-
standing many temptations‘ to break it. He
become at that time acquainted with a love-
ly christian girl, and resolved, if possible, to
win her for his wife. One evening in com-
pany she offered him wine. He declined.
But she, laughing and thoughtless, knowing
nothing of his past, urged him, until,»though
he feared he was sealing his doom, he yield-
ed, only, as she said, “to please her.” He
took the glass, he drank it. That night he
craved more and drank, until he went stag-
gering to his bed. His downward course
was swift. Abandoning all hope, he became
an easy prey to the fearful disease, and with-
in n month lay upon his death-bed. While
the horrors of eternal darkness were gather
ing around his agonizcd spirit, he turned to
those startling by him,- and left this message
for the young lady. “Tell her that on the
Day of Judgment, before the throne of God,
I shall accuse her of the ruin of my soul.”
He died. The message was delivered. It
fell an unsupportable weight on her buoy-
ant nature. Through thoughtlessiiess, mere-
ly' thoughtlessneas, had she committed the
act, under excitement, perhaps her judge-
ment weakened byn glass of wine. How
changed she became! a lively girl no long-
er. Within the year she passed into the
presence of the Master she had so poorly
obeyed.
Can any lady know,when offering even a
single glass, that it will not be the ruin of
her friend? How fearful the risk, especially
for cliristians, for the Bible says, “It is good
not to drink wine, or any thing whereby thy
brother stumbletll, or is offended, oxiis made
weak. (Romans 14:21.) Unlike the lady
just mentioned, you maygnever know till
you meet at the last great Day, the extent of
the evil you have done.
Of course there was no excuse for the
young man. He would not have fallen un-
der even this temptation, if he had not trust-
ed in his own strength, but bad loved and
trusted Jesus above every other. 0.
Another Local Mystery.
To run EDITORS or THE EVENING Posr :—
A statement, which was first published in
the New York Observer and has since ap-
peared in several journals, iiicluding'yours,
refers to the case of a lady who was violent-
ly forced into a railway car by two men and
carried to an insane asylum. I was one of
.the passengers who witnessed the incident,
which took place as was there described. It
occurred on the 18th of July last, on the ar—.
rival of the New Haven afternoon express
train from New York at the Norwalk sta—
tion. .
Struck,'like the other passengers, with the
extraordinary spectale of‘ such violence to a
woman as well as by her rational demeanor
for an insane person, I asked the version of
the facts, which she gave me in a clear and
intelligent manner. According to lier‘state-
ment her treatment was the result of personal
dislike of‘ her son-in-iaw, who is. a lawyer in
N ewYork,residin g atNorwalk,where she had
been making her daughter a visit, and her
insanity was an absolute fiction and pretext.
She bored her arm, which was black and
blue from her wrist to her elbows witlibruiscs
which she said were caused by previous
violence inflicted or instigated by him. She
gave me the address of some friends in
Brooklyn, with whom she had resided be-
fore. The visit thus abrubtly terminated,
and I promised to inquire into the matter
after my return to the city,WIiich I was then
leaving for a visit to the country. Wishing,
however, to hear both sides of the case, I ’
conversed also with one of the persons who
had her in charge, and who described him-
self as a “friend of the family.” He said that
she was very plausible, hilt that I must not
believe her; that she was violent in her con-
duct and resisted control; that licrson-in-law
had vainly endeavored to keep her locked
in her room, but that she would escape and
wonder about the streets. I could not (lis-
cover from his account any further evidence
of her insanity than was afforded by her n-
disposition to be locked up; and how fnrher
alleged violence WflStllC cause or how far
the effect of‘hcr treatment did not seem very
clear. He could give no explanation of her
bruises, but 'said that she must in some way
have caused them herself and without the
knowledge of her friends. His main justifi-
cation Wns founded on the fact that the lady
had been twice before at the asylum with
the sanction of Dr. Butler, the superintend-
ent and that a person of this gentleman’s
known character would not lend himself to
any improper scheme of confinement. Her
abduction was said to be on the certificate of
two physicians of the place, one of Whom
was the brother of the son-in-low who pro-
cured her seizurc. The other custodian, in
whose charge she was on thotroin, was the
son-in—law‘s eonchman—a man of dogged
manners. He surlily answered a question
of one of the passengers about the case by
saying it was none of that gentleman’sbusi-
ness. On inquiring at the lady Brooklyn
residence, after my return to town, I was in-
formed she is not at all insane, though her
temper is vehement. The ladies of her fam-
ily who were related to- her had not before
heard of her incarceration, in which they
appeared greatly shocked, considering it
grossly unjustifiable. A brother of these
ladies—a gentleman in business in New
York, now absent from town—-—will, I am as-
sured, on his return, visit. the asylum and in-
vestigate the matter.
Improved House Warming.
For many years, we have- given to the
matter of house heating, a special care and
examination. Few probably have suffered
more physical torture than ourselves from
the Hot Air Furnaces so much in vogue, in
this country. By these heaters, fresh air is
brought in contact with hot iron, oftimes,
red hot,wlicnce after every vital quality is
burned out of it,is sent up to be breathed into
human lungs, and the wonder is, how any
one can endure it, and how invalids can
stand it at all. There is a church in this"
town, thus heated, the effects of breathing
Withlll\Wthll, during an ordinary service,
we do not recover from in two hours. It is
amazing how the pastor :can live and use
his lungs in such a place. The‘ town is full
of dwellings with just such destroyers of
health within them, for the simple reason
that they are the best thing Within the reach
and means of the occupants. At last, how-
ever, a device has been secured, by reason
of which the temperature of the house in the
coldest winter’s day maybe made as soft and
genial, and invigorating too as a suinni er’s
day. It is not so costly as steam heating,
while vastly preferable, although it is slight-
ly more expensive than the hot air furnace
in common use. It consists in bringing' in
a current of pure air from outside the house,
and forcing it around coils of pipe heated
as hot as hot water can beat them, or the
temperature render ncccessary. Thus the
air is not at all changed in its essential
life giving properties, and is cnhalcd as
agreeably and refreshing as summer air.
The invention is that of Chas. R. Ellis, 182
Centre St., New York. It has been fully
tested in Bridgeport; New Haven and else-
where, and to the delight of all who have
tried it, without exception. We commend its
introduction on principles of humanity, with
special pleasure.
WThc New Haven Palladium, which
lends all its influence to perpetuate the Van-

simplicity and approval has the following:
The Sun pertinently asks :—“Why don’t
some of the railroads along the seaboard
emulate those of the west by putting on sleep-
ing cars in which travelers can rest at night
with perfect comfort? Anion“r the dozen or
fifteen railways that lead into Chicago, there
is not one which is without Pullman’s palace
cars, and yet eastern people have to go west
to learn that stich thin rs exist. The only
road that terminates in ew York on which
they can be found at all is the New Jersey
Central, and they are brought through the
connection of that road with one of‘ the great
Chicago lines. These cars as far surpass all
ordinary contrivances for sleeping on the
rail, as a first class Sound steamboat of the
present day surpasses the old boats of twen-
ty-fivc years ago." Having lately traveled
some thousand miles in Pullman’s cars we
heartily endorse all that the Sun says in their
favor. They are unsurpassed in luxurious
comfort and make traveling a- pleasure. The
whole subject of‘ railroad cars demands a re-
formation. Those who choose to pay for
the accommodation should be able to find
handsome cars on every road in which they
can travel with the some enjoyment and
case that they find in their own homes.
Whit. Seymour, the statesman whose
statesmanshipwouldlinve destroyed the State
says that“ our people are harassed by the
heavy and frequent demands of the tax
gatherer.” True, and these demands were
caused by a Rebellion of Southern Demo-
crats, doubled by the sympathetic aid of
Northcn Coppcrlicads, and would be ren—
dered twice as heavy and frequent as they
need be by the policies of revolution, rebel-
lion, and repudiation introduced into the
DeiiiOCratic platform by \lee Hampton
and Pelnlletor1,adoptcd by the Convention
with the some wild Rebel yell which used
to salute the ears of our troops when they
were pressed back on the batilc-field,in—
dorsed by Seymour and Blair in their letter
ofacecptancc, and now pllt forward as the
creed of the Democratic party.

The Grampuu 908 Cruise.
.On Monday afternoon, the 24th hit, just
as the steamer Nelly White was approach-
ing her dock, at So. Norwalk, the schooner
Thomas J. Owen, Capt. Sands Selleck, slip-
ped out into the stream, and with banners
streaming, music playing, friends cheering,
and the booming of the gun, the GnAarrns
CLUB was off for their annual trip “ down
east." The progress of the vessel towards
the Neptune’s first port—the Oysterman’s
Deck—was watched with much interest, es-
pecially as it was known that efforts had
been made to bribe our Captain to run the
schooner on the flats, but he was faithful to
his trust, and we glided slowly but surely
out of the harbor into the sound, and bidding
adieu to Commissary Ferris, of the Neptune
Club, who had accompanied us thus far, we
laid our course, and with a very light breeze
slowly sailed eastward.
Although it was all quiet on the water
through the night, it proved anything but a
quiet night on board the schooner. The god
Monius held potent sway, usurping the place
of the drowsy god of sleep. Toward morn-
ing Morpheus tried to assert his supremacy,
but it was of no avail, mischief was in the
air, and it soon became evident that there
had been “something wrong 0. brewing,” that
full returns were not in, in fact “another
county heard from" frightened sleep away;

cliarined with the fairy—like music floating in
the air around and adown the hatchway.
sped with nimble feet hither and thither, first
up and then down, in pursuit of the mellow
notes of the horn, hilt constantly eluding its
ardent pursuer it seemed to be a veritable
will—oftlie-wisp, ever sounding, cvcr near, but
always dancing mockingly just out of reach.
In the morning it was decided to fill sever-
al vacancies in offices of the club, caused by
the detention of several members by sickness
and business on the eve of sailing, thereupon
Hon. William D. Gregory, of Wilton, was
chosen Vice Commodore, Hon. Jeffrey O.
Phelps,-Jr., of Simsbury, Judge Advocate,
and Robert I. Tolles, Purser. It was thought
that a good and competent judge would be
able to prevent any further trespasses upon
the rights of the sleepers, and iii: promised
upon being elected to- give all brought be-
fore him the utmost extent of Grampus law.
middle watch of the night, there was a com-
motion in the sleeping saloon, a hasty rush
on deck, a violent and forcible ejaculation
and the judge himself at that unseasonable
hour, was guilty of disturbing the deep
quiet of the night, and the repose of the
party, by feeding the fishes with the good
things of which he had eaten through the
day; be, however, owned up like a man to
the charge of sea sickness and was forgiven
the disturbance.
Wednesday morning, near Martha’s Vine-
yard, we met the yacht Calypso, owned by
Major Mallory, of Bridgeport, and having
on board the owner and family and also 0.
T. Earle and lady of Norwalk. -We ex-
,changed salutations with them and sped
away with a good breeze to Nantucket,
Where we arrived at'noon. Here the time
was spent as usual in fishing, riding, sight
seeing, 830., until Thursday evening, when
the club gave a Complimentary Concert in
the Athcncum Hall to the citizens of Non-
tucket, which was very largely attended—-
in fact, they had a full house. The club was
introduced in a very hearty manner by the
Rev. Mr. Ewer, and ‘lhe singing of‘ the Quara
tette, Messrs. Spinning, Tomlin, Merriam and
Scllcclg, appeared to give very general {satis-
faction. Tile proceeds were devoted to the
Soldiers’ Monument Association, and the
Children’s Aid Society,—two worthy local
objects,—and we understand that quite a
handsome sum was realized therefor. On
each of the two evenings we lay here in port
we were serenaded qy the Nantucket Musi-
cal Association, composed of about a. dozen '
young men, who sang and cheered for us
quite heartin as a token of" their apprecia-
tion of our volunteer concert and the mo-
tives which prompted it.
Friday morning we regretfully bade adieu
to hospitable old Nantucket, and sailed
away to Edgartown, buthere alas, we found
“a deserted village" all or nearly all of our
many friends being absent at the Camp
Ground, a few miles down the coast, indeed
one only, of “the fairest ot' the fair” being at
home to receive and welcome us. Many,
however returned on the evening boats and
the long bridge, though not crowded, was
as delightful and pleasant a promenade as
ever,—“and Iknow it”. A portion of the
night was spent in serenading lady friends
of the club and the next morning we hoist-
ed sail and stood away for the Camp
Ground. Arriving near the anchorage we
passed and exchangedsalutes with school—
ship Massachusetts and two U. S. Revenue
cutters and dropped anchor at short distance
from the new wharf. Going ashore we en-
countered hosts of our Edgartown acquaint-
ances, who immediately took us in hand
and did the honors of the place splendidly.
We found great improvements in and about.
the grounds since our visit of last year ;
many new, tasty and very handsome cots
tagcs having been erected, as also a hotel,
stores, &c., while the attendance of people
was still larger than ever before. On Sim—
day it was estimated that there were about
twenty-five thousand people present, of
which as a matter of course in this locality,
a large majority were ladies. The steamer
Stamfordpwned in Bridgeport,was here runs
ning on excursions between New Bedford
and the Camp Ground. Saturday afternoon,
on invitation,the club visited the school ship,
Where they were very pleasantly received
andshown around by Captain Eldredge and
his assistants. We were much gratified
with the visit and pleased to find that the
genial captain had not forgotten the club,
nor individual members thereof who had
visited the ship three years ago in New Bed-
ford Harbor. The Quartette sang a num-
ber of pieces on the forward deck to the
boys gathered there, in return for which two
of them executed a double clog dance, and
then Tomlin gave them some of his inimita-
ble comic songs, among others the “Phat
man ” which made them so full of laughter
that there was danger of liysterics. In the
school room we found a number of ladies
to receive us, and here again we had sing-
ing, and Spinning was cncorcd again and
again in rendering his tuneful melodies, and
his cornct solo proved irresistable. After a
pleasant two hours visit the boats of the
ship were placed at our disposal and we
were conveyed back to our vessel; as the
boats were about leaving the ship the cap-
tain had the crew piped to the starboard
succession as each boat load pushed oil‘from
the vessels side. ' I
In the evening here, everybody goes “bluff-
