THE ADELI’HI.
A MEDIUM sscnnixc Pliorl'r AND. PLEASURE
It can be rcckcned that a chief problem in
life has reached solution when one’s business
has become one’s pleasure, for one has then
approached if he has not actually attained,
that other condit iou,viz. “une‘s pleasurc.one’s
business,” for which every sensible person is
striving. This truth, applicable to all classes
and conditions of men, is especially so to
those obliged to travel much by steamboat or
rail. The accommodations which the Adel-
phi has afforded the public since herappear-
ance on the line between Norwalk and New
York last J une ; the almost unvaryirig
promptness of her departures and. arrivals,
the safety insured, and the cheapness of her
prices, are good illustrations in point, and-
her patrons within a radius of twenty miles
of Norwalk are delighted with the announce-
ment that, proper weather favoring, she will
continue her pleasant trips till the first day
of December. During her season’s career of
nearly 150 days, this noble vessel, in connec-
tion with the Americas, which preceded her,
has carried upwards of 70,000 people and an
immense amount of freight, without accident
or injury of the slightest character—a fact,
which, of itself should tend to remove any
prejudices against her as a safety medium,
and above all should reassure those in whose
minds any doubts existed as to her capabili-
ties. When Slimmer was' over and the chilly,
blustcring winds of autumn came, some said,
“Give us the railroad cars where speed and
comfort are secured”—overlooking the fact
that hot. coal fires where one can toast his
toes may be had on shipboard as well as on
rail, and they went off and paid their little
two dollars for an excursion from Norwalk to
New York and return. But the the Adelphi’s
friends said, “True, the winds are cold and
the days growing short, but we prefer paying
a little fifty cents for our excursion,” and
they went off and placed their saving of a
clear $1.50 with their other spending money
and thus combined profit with pleasure, and
helped to establish a great principle on a
firmer basis. One lady from a rival district,
who goes often to the metropolis, declares
that she has saved more than thirty dollars
the past season by taking the Adclphi instead
of the cars, and numbers of ladies have been
enabled in like manner to pay four or five
cents per yard for their goods more than they
could have done but for the steamer, for
which they will not fail to thank Capt. Fred.
Perkins, to whose enterprise they are indebt-
ed for the boon. While Norwalkladies and
others have enjoyed the Adelphi’s benefits,
they cannot claim monopoly, as Westport,
Weston, Easton, Wilton, New Canaan, Dari-
en, Southport, and hamlets within their bor—
ders almost too numerous to mention, claim
a share. These, regretfully beholding the
' n unite in one sentiment of
ghfilonbgatlsgrfoahd one hope that the winter
will soon pass and another summer arrive
when they can once more avail themselves
’ ' s the are now enjoying.

Correspondence.
The Parallel Railroad.
Messrs. EDITORS :—Having taken a great
interest in the Parallel Road from its first
conception, now that it seems to be on its
feet again under another name, I_would like
to make some remarks on the subject, not as
a director or even a stockholder—although I
.would jnlnp at the chance of being a stock—
holder it' I had the means—but as one of the
interested public who certainly have some
indirect rights in the matter.
The Road should have been built last sea
son whin iron and materials of any sort, and l
labor, was so low, but as that time was not l
seized upon it ought to be commenced at I
once as a great deal of work can without 3
doubt be. done this winter at less prices for i
labor than it will be possible for to do in the i
spring. It ought to be built in a thoroughly
honesi and substantial manner,_so substantial ;
that there will be no difficulty ill running all j
passenger trains at least fifty miles per hour ,
safely. There should be no more danger at g
t. lat speed than there is now at thirty miles. I
Titnc is everything with the public, and the 2
railroad of the future has got to save it in '
every possible manner compatible with safe! y. %
Then what is the use of spending at. least L
one-third more money on the right of way 1
than is necessary, which it seems to me they i
are about to do provided the location of the ,
route is to be fixed upon as published ill the l
papers. I think an examination of two of '
the routes through Norwalk will show at
least that to be the difference by the one said
to be selected over the one that I believe the
directors honestly think ought to be taken.
Now let the public examine the two routes
and see for themselves; first take the route
from the homestead of Jonathan Camp and
follow it down to Whistlevillc and see what
it is likely to cost. Almost every foot of the
ground will cost perhaps ten times or more
as mucll as it will on the other route, as they
can see for themselves, from the fact that it
runs through the grounds of expensive places
which in many instances will be entirely
ruined, and which they will have to pay well
for and in many cases stand expensive law-
suits, whilc on the other route from Jona—
than Camp’s across the lots near Peter
Guigue’s, Florist, thence across the elephant
barn property, thence nearly in a straight
line to Knapp’s blacksmith shop on the New
Canaan road, and so on; there will not be
any homesteads, or at least not more than
two or three inexpensive ones to be obtained,
and the balance of the right of way can no
doubt be had at a nominal price. Then the
saving in land for depots will be large as on
the 1st route it is proposed to have four,mo:t
of which will be cxpensichWhilc on this
route but one expensive one will be needed
and that will be at the crossing of the Dar:
bury and N orwalk Railroad, while a little
flagstation at the blacksmith shop about a
mile from the other will for the present an—
swer the needs of that part of the town,
'including Silver Mine and part of New
Canaiin, and another at West Norwalk.
But then Isuppose the company think it
should go through the heart of the Town to
secure passengers from the center and South
Norwalk. They can hardly expect to attract
South Norwalk custom, and once locate the
road at the head of Main street the people
have no choice other than to select their route,
and right here it will be the province of the
company to step in and help them select,
which they can do in this way, viz : extend
the :Horse Railway to the depot on the
Danbury Road, establish a ticket office in
the center and make the ticket include the
horse car fare, all others to pay. five cents on
the horse. cars.
the distance to South Norwalk will be in
favor of the new road, and then let the
company put their fare and freight rates at
.hard pan on the start, say from 65 to 75 cts.,
'not to exceed 75, and stick to it, then I think
the public cannot help but see in which way
its interests lies, and they will believe the
new company when they call this “The Peo-
ples Road." Then the selection of the upper
route will be an accommodation for no small
number of people from that section of coun-
try; it will cause the town to buildup in a
locality where there is plenty of room. and
no doubt cause the public and the company
to wonder, ten years from now, why they
ever thought of such a thing as locating at
the center as they are now said to be thinking
of doing.
Then again if you examine thcroutc they
seem to be doing the same thing through all
the towns. Now if they make it a more
nearly direct route they will probably save a
number of miles in the length of the road,
and in my opinion will not need nearly the
amount of capital they now propose to
assume, unless it may be for the purpose of
seeing how much water it will hold on the
start. I offer the above as only my own idea
of the matter, not expecting it to be of any
weight, but for all that, hoping that the com-
pany may see it in my point of view in time
to profit by it if they feel so disposed.
Yours truly, INTERESTED.
Letter From Brooklyn.
The exciting elections which have just
been held, virtually a battle for the President
with the President left out, have greatly
exercised the minds of the American people.
Every year these affairs seem to evince more
independent thoughtfulness in the great mass,
more general intelligence and a higher tone of
responsibility. It is seasonable to ask whether
extension of the sufiragc to women will tend
to improve still further our politics or help to
corrupt or degrade them. Francis Parkman,
in the North American Review for October,
presents the view against such extension of
the suffrage with much cogcncy, in an elabo-
rate article which is at once readable and
forcible. He adopts substantially the idea
of the late Dr. Bushnell that it would be a
reform against nature, and lead only to con—
fusion and demoralization.
In the November number of the same
valuable review the debate is taken up and
carried on vigorously by a cluster of eminent
writers, male and female, who advocate the
giving of the ballot to women. These antag-
onists of Mr. Parkman, whose pens are
arrayed against him with the bristling fierce-
ness of so many lances, or perhaps we ought.
to say bodkins, are Julia Ward Howe, T. W.
Higginson, Lucy Stonc,Elizabeth C. Stanton,
and Wendell Phillips. It would claim too
much of your space to give an analysis of
these papers; They will well repay perusal.
The que'stion in dispute is one destined to
come forward more and more prominently
with the rapidly increasing separate interests
of women with their secularizatio.in busi—
ness, and their higher education. The fact
naturally accompany the suffrage, has always
seemed to be an inscperable obstacle to
women having the ballot. But there may be
considerations which countervail these difli-
culties. I commend these articles to the
careful reading of all who would prepare to
look at the important questions of the day
intelligently. '
This November number of the North
American is' of sterling interest throughout.
Especially with the letters from Secretary
Stanton (before he was Secretary) to ex-
President Buchanan, cxcitc general surprise
and criticism. Strange, indeed, almost Pau-
line, must have been the conversion of this
man from quasi-advocacy of the Rebellion to
the bitterest kind of “Black Republicanism.”
The Review has done a very valuable
service in bringing out these materials of
history, together with a series of papers
entitled “The Diary of a Public Man,” which
the North American has been publishing.
These give the views at the time which were
held by men high in position during that
peculiar period when the Rebellion was
breaking out and the great war was getting
under way.
While I am talking of Magazine articles, I
would refer to one by Professor Goldwin
Smith, in the last number of the Atlantic
Monthly. It has the caption “A Moral
Interreguum.” It is prepared in the clear
style of the distinguished writer and pre—
l
The distance being only half ‘
v
cents a good deal of the philosophy of his-
tory in compact space. His mind, however,
seems to have become overweightcd with
what are called the moral disorders of our
day. He appears to regard-the decay of
faith as a fixed fa'ct. EVidently he is a
persistent and one pretty far gone with the
disease. He ascribes to the influence cf
Darwin, Herbert Spencer, and other ph _
(llSlS, whom he classes as “agnostics,” a
widespread and growing disbelief not only
in Christianity but all religion. The founda-
tions of morality, he would have us believe,
are giving way, and a wild reign of lawless
lust and selfishness is about to get control of
society. That such denroralization would
naturally follow universal acceptance of the
dogmas of some of the scientists, is quite
probable; [lift that there is any such rejec—
tion of Christian truth as he supposes will
hardly be allowed by most of his readers.
If, too, religion! as he seems to flSSlllllt‘, is
only a human philosophym system (leveloped
by men, then we might expect to see it. give
wily under the pressure of tllc skeptics. Brit
: it is of God and has a sure foundation in His
grace and power. Professor Smith's agnos-
tic-.- allow us no divine Author above us and
no soul uithin; if such a system of‘ belief
should become everywhere prevalent, it goes
without saying that society would soon run
down at the heels and become a very shoddy
affair indeed. But with all the ado which
these dublurs in theology make, the world
has a fuller and juster knowledge of God
and a deeper consciousness of soul life than
ever in the past. The article is of unusual
interest and will hardly injure any one who
reflects for himself. '
An anonymous writer in the Atlantic in
the earlier part of the year, contributed a
paper on “Certain Dangerous Tendencies. in
American Life" which has set a great many
to thinking, and which indirectly is fresh
witness for the power of religion. For the
author called ripon the church to take up the
work of beating back the demoralizing tide
of political and business corruption which he
claimed was sweeping like a flood over us.
He referred to the same unsettling of faith as
Mr. Smith believes in, but still seemed to
think that the leaders in religious thought
could‘ and should set the corrupt back,
The revival of business here in the me-
tropolis suggests to many that good princi-
ples, and the integrity which comes of
conscientious living, are in the long run
successful, for while weak houses have gone
under and many who were trading recklessly
without character or honest principle are
utterly used up, generally the merchants who
were square in their dealings have been able
to tide over and are now reaping a rich re-
ward. Of course there have been some ex-
ceptions, but this has been the way it has
worked as a rule. R. B. Sxowpsiv.

Harris a Ireland’s
Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. .
rlat. Our “PATENT Insrnn BOLT Woxx”
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above?
where they are at all times accessible, an
can be cleaned and. kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the looks
and bolts and the outside plate' of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. IOur “PATENT Hmcnn CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks On their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL _LOCKS on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED msmu,
instead of woodlined as in other safes, which
waterin our filling without danger of the
Safe's being‘damp. All~corners of the Safes
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre-
vents them from injury from falling, or fall-
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have mus:
, FLANGE instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had.
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to the» important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating t6 the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
roved the superiority of our Safes to resist
Intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased. the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a. Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled forjts excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

The melancholly days are come,
The saddest of the'year;
Of buckwheat cakes and scarlet rash,
And flVe cent lager beer. V
Heaped in the hollows of the grove,
The autumn leaves lie dead, "‘
And festivalslind cabbages
Arefiftcen cents a head.
The robin and the wren are flown,
And from the shrub the jay,
And by the fire the loafer-toasts
His shins, the live-long day.

It was a waggish magistrate .
Whereto was brought a sinner, ,
Who’d sadly thrashed the maid he loved
Because he couldn’t win her.
Refiectively, yet much amazed.
The judge repeated dryly,
"Alas! that he should lac-crate
The lass he rates so highly.”
A Warning to Jokers.
Some time 1864 there was a number of
army officers stopping at a hotel in Washing-
ton. Among them was Captain Emerson.
There was also a Capt. Jones, “TOW“ 3
first-rate fellow, a good ofiicer 3nd very
pompous. Emerson and Jones used to have
a good deal of joking together at the table
and elsewhere. One day at the dinner table,
when the dining hall was well filled, Capt.
Jones finished his dinner first, got up and
walked almost to the dining hall door,
when Emerson spoke to him in aloud voice
and said “Halloa, Captain, see here, I want
to speak to you a minute.” The captain
turned and walked back to the table and
bent cver him, when Emerson whispered,
“I wanted to ask you how far you would
have gone if I had not spoken to you."
The captain never changed a muscle, but
straightened up and put his fingers in his
vest pocket and said, in a voice loud enough
for all to hear him, “Capt. Emerson. Idon’t
know of a man in the world I would rather
lend $5 to than you, but the fact is, I havn't
it: with 'me today," and he turned on his heel
and walked away. Emerson was the color
of a half dozen rainbows, but he had to
stand it. He never heard the last of it. and
it cost him more than $10 to treat -on it—

Armonorm or Guunorv SALTONS’I‘ALL.—
Gurdon Saltonstall resigned his functions as
a preacher for the office of Governor. A re—
ligious sect arose professing allegiance to
Christ only, and acknowledged no authority
in the civil law. Among other peculiarities
of their creed was the-right to contract mar-
riage without the sanction of the civil authori-
ties. A man named Gorton was their leader.
He appeared before Governor Saltonstall one
day, as his Excellency was pef'i‘cefully‘smok—
ing his long pipe, and announced that he was
married to a woman whom he had brought
with him', and that without the sanction of
the law. The Governor serenely removed
his pipe, and asked, And thou art determined
to have this woman to thy wife ?"
“I am,” replied Gorton.
“And you. madam, have taken this man
for your husband 1"
“That I have, Sir,” was the prompt reply.
“Then," exclaimed the Governor, “by the
authority and in‘accordance with the laws of
the State of Connecticut, 1‘ pronounce you
legally man and wife.”
“Gordon. thou art a cunning creature,” re~
plied the discomflted Gortou.——lezrz W.
