Dear Gerty—Tom will give you this:
He leaves us by this evening’s boat;
No chance of seeing you he’ll miss,
And so I’ve made him take this note.
And pattern too. You’ll see the cape
Is half turned back, which brings in View
The rose-tint, and improves the shape,
And makes the whole effect quite new.
Speaking of Tom-;you must recall,
A week before you went from town,
That waltz at Mrs. Upham's ball,
When all your lovely hair came down,
Well. Tom’s not been the same since then,
Not that he’s said a word to me;
But I’m eighteen, and I know men;
And I've got eyes, and I can see.
Two weeks ago, he went away,
To spend some days at Harry Bright’s;
Mama and I both saw our way '
To set the fellow’s room to rlghts;
So in we went. Oh, such a pile
, 0f clothes and books thrown hit and miss!
But, Darling,—I can see you smile,—
’Midst the disorder I found this :—.'
To G lIl'lI
If your eyes were dusky gray,
Instead of azure rare :
If your bloom should fade away,
Still would you be fair;
E’en though your lovely smile went 200,
Still, still would you be fair.
If you but kept your hair, my love,
If you but kept your hair.
When its heavy coils unrolled,
Amidst the ball-room’s glare,
In a floating cloud of gold
You stood an instant there;
And then you bidshed and lied away,
My heart went with you there;
You bound it in your hair my love,
In the meshes of your hair.
0..
Well, dear, are you surprised or not 1
It’s a nice piece of work you've made!
Ia’nt it lucky you forgot,
That evening, to put on your braid ‘l
Tom’s heart, at last, is really gone;
It seems so awfully absurd!
So, darling, as afl'airs go on, '
Be sure you often write me ward.
. o O I o I
Tom's a good fellow, you must own,
And handsome, too, as all can see;
A better brother ne’er was known,
Than Tom has always been to me.
So Gerty. though you’ll flirt, of course,
Still, give his woes a speedy end;
And please, now. don’t use all your force,
For he’s the brother of your friend.
LETTER FROM NEW JERSEY.
ORANGE, N. J. July 14th.1870.
DEAR Gazurrn:—“ What kind of apples
are these ‘2" asked I of an apple-woman as I
was once passing through the streets of Bos-
ton. “Sweet, sir, all sweet, sir.” Another
and another was approached, and still the
answer was, “Sweet sir—nothing but sweet,
sir.” The New York apple-women always
give the Opposite recommend, “ Tart, sir, all
tart, sir.” Difference in tastes, you see.
Is sweet affected by the Hub because it is
more intellectual .9 And has tart the smack
that suits business-like New York? Or
does Boston value things according to their
baking qualities—as beans, brown bread,
sweet apples—while New York prizes more
the raw material, in food as well as fabrics?
“ Have you any morning papers I” I asked
of 0. Norwalk news-dealer. “ Nothing but
the Tribune,” was the response. “Isn’t that
good enough i” said. I. “ Oh, nobody
around here, cares much about that,” was
answered. “ I sells heaps of Heralds, Guns
and Times, but only a few Tribunal” “ Any
daily papers left ?" I inquired in an Orange
News Office the other afternoon. “ Yes,
some Heralds’—and here’s one Times.”
“Haven’t you a Tribune ?” "‘ Tribune—no
sir, you’ll have to come early to get one of
them, they all go of first 1” Difference in
‘ tastes, again. The same difference is ap-
parent to every observant eye on the cars.
On the N. Y. &. N. H. Railroad, one reader
perhaps in ten will have the Tribune, while
on the Morris and Essex, you see it in every
alternate reader’s hands throughout the
train. “ Strong meat belongeth to them
that are of full age.” Is the child stronger
than the mother ? It is a significant fact
that the New York Tribune is rapidly gain-
ing circulation in the South and West, while
in New England it is losing ground. That
steadfast friend ‘of the laboring, the poor,
and the oppressed, the “Gospel according
to Horace,” as it is facetiously called, is
eagerly sought and read by thousands of
freedmeu, many of whom. take their first
reading lesson on 3. Tribune editorial.
Was it in deference to the conservative
patrons of the New Haven Road, or was it
owing to the political bias of its manage-
ment, that General Grant’s party was trun-
dled over the road on the 2d, without a sin-
gle display of patriotism, not a flag or a.
flower upon engine or car? ‘
Speaking of Railroads, the proud Dela-
ware d7 Lackawana has knuckled to the
commuters, paid without appeal, a fine of
fifty dollars to each and every one put off
the cars with a through ticket in his hand,
and interposes no further obstacles to those
who wish to stay over a train in Newark or
anywhere else on the line. The mooted
subject of another Railroad will now prob-
ably be dropped until a new rupture occurs.
Organ Concerts and other first-class mu—
sical entertainments have been a pleasant
feature in suburban society during ,the past
season. Several churches in Orange have
contributed to this popular move, two at
least, Rev. Geo. B. Bacon’s and I Rev. ‘El-
(ltidge Mix’s having given regular weekly
concerts, with gratifying success. In the
former church, a series of Saturday mati-
nees was also projected, at the price of 25
cents per ticket, or six admissions for one
dollar. These though not fully attended,
showed an increasing interest from the first
to the last. Orange exhibits no mean array
of musical talent, led off by such names as
Wm. Mason and Theo. F. Seward, a gentle-
men whose abilities as organists stand un-
rivalled in this country. It is gratifying to
know that they have entered into these pop-
ular concerts with enthusiasm, and not only
have given the people an opportunity to
hear their own superb playing, but have in-
troduced to them such artists as Samuel P.
Warren, organist of Grad! Church, John P.
Morgan, of Trinity Church, New York, Mrs.
Jennie Kempton and other musical celebri-
ties. Beside these low-priced entertain-
nients, we have had a series of concerts by
formunces by a German Singing Society,
and best of all, a Madrigal Concert, by a
class trained by Mr. James A. Johnson,
leader of the Madrigal Sogiety of New
York. The latter was an invitation affair,
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the favOred
guests. Such a selection of glees and mad-
rigals as Mr. Johnson gave, is .not often
heard in a country town.
The large place which the science of mu-
sic is coming to hold in the minds of this
practical Yankee nation, must be gratifying
to the most enthusiastic disciple of Mel-
pomene. Even the school-teacher must
have some knowledge of music or his or
her chances of succqss are doubtful. Iu-
deed, 'vocal and instrumental music in
schools, combined with military precision
in the transfer of classes, taking recesses,
etc., is found to be a most efficient promoter
of order and discipline. The Teutonic ele-
ment in our blood is asserting itself. “Where
music is not, the Devil is,” was Luther’s
motto, and he kept the old adversary at buy
by his reed. Who kno'ws but the tremen-
dous hurricane of intemperance and crime
that has swept over our land since the war,
is destined, to be killed in a great measure,
by the charms of music ? The city of New

York has appropriated a considerable sum
the Orange Choral Union, one or two per-,
each year for music in its parks; and now,
not only is there “Music on the Mall in Cen-
tral Par ” on Saturdays, but every afternoon
in the week, in some one of the parks. The
authorities find the more music.there is,
the less crime there is, and that it takes less
money to keep bands playing, than it does
to keep police courts and prisons.
The pretentious attempt to wed fraud and
money at the 3d Avenue Skating Rink, New
York, was a tremendous failure, as its pro-
jectors learned to their sorrrow. Brilliant
talent lighted up one end of the Rink, and
sordid meanness darkened the other end.
The public were willing enough to pay
homage to the talent, but not to the mean
ness. In fact, the two ends were at logger-
llcads throughout the “ Ten-centennial,” as
they should have been. Parepa Rosa inva-
riably demanded her $600, Clara Louise
Kellogg her $500, .Brignoli his $500, and
Lefranc his $500 each evening before they
went upon the stage. The anvil-men, how-
ever exact their strikes were bcforc the au-
dience, joined the other artists in very in-
opportune time “ strikes" behind the scenes.
not begin till after nine o’clock, because not
a singer would budge'till he had received
his pay. On Friday night, the prOgrammes
did not arrive till about ten 'o‘clock, the
printer holding them till the “consideration”
came. When they appeared at the doors,
so great was the scramble, the rush, the
fight to possess them, that it took all the
police force to quiet the row, and prevent a
panic in the audience. Add to this, the con-
tinual tramp of people coming and going,
the cries of the fun-pcddlcrs, (15 cents for a
palm-leaf!) the water-boys, (3 cents for a
glass of water!) the orgies in the Drinking
Saloon, (the “price list” of toddy, juleps and
sherry~cobblcr staring you allover the build-
ing) the “ jaws” with ticket-agents about
. .swindlers, etc., etc., and the reader has some
faint conception of this pandemonium of
discards, yclept “ Musical Festival. If, as
the poet sings—
“Melodies be con] not utter
O'er Beethoven’s soul would roll,”
how would that soul have been affected by
these jargons, ostenéibly dedicated to his
memory ?
Orange is largely interested in the batting
business. It has been quiet for a season,
but now the shops are beginning to show
considerable activity. South Norwalk has
a number of representatives here among the
batters. I suppose they go back and forth,
as “journeymen,” according to the demand
for their labor and the wages paid.
The heat during the past week has been
tempered by several showers. The four
weeks drouth was broken on the 7th by a
generous rain. In consequence of this
drouth, worms have been very active, par-
ticularly such as destroy roses, entrants and
sweet-corn. Nearly the entire crop of early
corn in New Jersey is damaged by worms;
they first attack the silk and eat through it
down into the small end of the car. I would
advise gardeners in N o'rwalk to examine
the silk of their growing crops. Hellebore,
the grand enemy of all rapidly-growing
worms, will no doubt kill the com-worm.
Tomatoes do not promise a very abundant
crop hereabouts. They are yet scarce in
the New York markets, of a poor quality,
and bring fifteen cents per quart. Early
Rose and Goodrich potatoes are abundant at
£1.50 per bushel. The Early Rose, having
a red skin are less salable than the Goodrich
or other white skins.
The excessive heat has been severe on
man and beast. Several men have fallen un-
der sun-stroke here, one or two to rise no
more. I notice a very humane appliance to
save horses. It is whatis called the “equine
sunbonnet,” a simple shade attuchcdio the
top of the bridle, to protect the animal’s
forehead. It was first used last summer,
on recommendation of Mr. Bergh, President
of the New York Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. This, and the apron
attached to the bottom of the collar, to pre-
vent sudden cooling of the chest in winter
weather, constitute an important advance
in the humane treatment of dumb beasts
and have already saved many lives. ’
E. R. P.
Gov. English and Pres. Grant.
Minssns. EDITORS :—For some time past
it has been the special delight of Democrats
(so called) throughout the country, to abuse
and vilify President Grant and his adminis-
tration. They have been very assiduous in
this business, often displaying some tact,
not only in the style of epithets but in the
manner of expressing them. The earnest-
ness, too, with which they have been uttered
would lead an innocent listener to suppose
they were from the heart, or reflections of
the sentinels 0f higher Democratic powers.
How consoling, or rather how galling must
it have been to the minds of such _ when
Gov. English, who, by the way, is their
staunchest representative man—the ‘very
quintessencc of Democracy in Connecticut—
said in his address of welcome at Stamford,
on July 2d :— '
“ MR. PRESENT, the peoplo of Connecti-
cut have a great respect for you, and it will
be made more and more manifest as you
meet them on your journey through the
State. They not only respect you as Presi-
dent, but as a patriot an soldier as well.
They never can forget the dark days of the
rebellion when clouds were hanging over
our once happy but then distracted country.
While the day and hour in which the rebel-
lion must be put down remained in the un-
certain future, yet, with them, some things
were more certain. They never doubted for
one moment the rebellion would be put down,
for with General Grant to lead and their own
soldiers in the field, they_ felt assured that
the God of battles would crown your and
their efforts with success.”
These sentiments honestly expressed by
the highest authority in the State, are com-

A correspondent of the Watchman and ‘
Reflector, writing upon “plain preaching,”
says: »
they find'themselves addressed by one with
a full heart and a‘ luminous mind, talking
earnestly and affectionately to them.
Their minds are a once put into sympathy
with the speaker, d the minds of speaker
and bearer travel on together in empathetic
union to the end. But when the preacher
speaks with airs and artificial tones, and
does not seem to be simple-hearted and
earnest in his Master’s work, the bearer nat-
urally takes the place not of a learner, bu
of a spectatorwho is witnessing an exhibi-
tion, and he feels that he is there not to feel
and act, but to look on the farce and criti~
cise the performance. All the most eflicient,
effective preachers of our day are men who
talk—yes, that is the word—they talk to the
people, and they talk in plain, simple, con-
cise language, and the people understand
and appreciate the talk; and this is the se-
cret of the great power of such men as Pro-
fessor Finney, Newman Hall, Henry Ward
Beecher, Mr. Spurgeon, Mr. Knapp, Mr.
Earle and many others, who are found -to
be sons of thunder in the pulpit.”

The correspondent of the Chicago Repub-

poverty and soft soap,” H. . did not swear

“Bachelors,” says Jobs Billings, “ are al-

ninety days.”

him the benefit of the explanation. -
