Lesson in Equestrianim.
Horseback riding as an art, and as abenc-
ficial exercise, is one of the most judicious
habits that one could cultivate. While it
aiIords the cquestian every opportuinty for
the cultivation of graceful posing, it com-
prises all the healthful elements of the most
invigorating pleasures. Like all else in this
world, however, if indulged in. immoderately
the results are extremely painful,- and oft
times dangerous. Gailed limbs,and Piles that.
itch intensely,particularly after getting warm
in bed, are not infrequently. the outcome of
excessive exercise in the saddle. In such
cases, however, the evil can be thoroughly
eradicated by applying Swayne’s Ointment,

“ ._ “MT” "WESTPORT. ‘ '
Thcrc arrived last week from Mount
Holly, N. J., for the Lees’ Manufacturing
Companya $600 Turbine water wheel of
the famous Risdon patent. It is 40 inches
in diameter, and 50 horse power, and will
be set to run in connection with a 54inch.
80 horse power wheel of the same patent
put in last year. As the company’s water
power is among the best in the country, it
is thought the two wheels, with a steam
engine to fall back on in dry weather, will
he snfiicient to-securc power every working
day in the year.
The skeleton of what is supposed to have
been an Indian was last week, brought to/

The Consolidated road oi‘r'ers chances daily
for visiting New York. These chances are
each good for the season that, whe’hcr the
train be express or accommodation it is
available, as all trains must stop at the draw
bridge. Add to these thy steamer Adelphi
which is doing so well, and Westport may be
deemed a fortunate place. '
Several local horses are likely to be enter-
ed to compete for the purses offered by the
Agricultural Society at the J nno meeting,
28th and 29th. As to Bicycles wears not up
to the average, there being but two in the'
town.
The hints thrown out inthp Guerra and
other papers respecting high prices charged
by local dealers for beef and other meats,
hayc had the effect to tone down the figures
asked. The upward squeeze had been
tremendous—the downward, while only
slight, is thankfully accepted and means, as
patrons hope, that these men mean to save
their souls as ,well as sell their livers and
lights.

The finishing touches to the roof and cup-
pola of the new foundrygbuilding gives it
character, and when the foundry itself,
chimney and furnace are up, an air of activ-
ity, will surround the place which it never
before knew. The effect of the coming of
this establishment has been good as to real
estate, a patch of ground opposite with small
dwelling thereon having been sold for $900,
the previous valuation never exceeding
$350. , ,
Complaint comes from many quarters as
to the ravages of a yellow bug with wings
which destroys squash and cucumber plants
in gardens, eating the leaves first and, finally
cutting the stalk off close to the ground.
These bugs are quick in movement, taking
wing when the sound of footstepsis heard,
and returning again when all is silent, They
are unlike the ordinary cucumber but—dif-
combined power of each when undisturbed
to destroy wherever they touch. It is said,
sifted wood ashes applied to the plants when
covered with dew will aid in keeping the
bugs oif.
Wéstport will begin this week to depend
somewhat upon herself for strawberries.
This may or may not be good news for how

committee. It is understood he will re-en-

during the year cnsuing.‘ A district meet-
ing is to be held June 30 to consider the
propriety of pwing up a new building on a
site, or of repairing the present one.
Our citizens, particularly the ladies, are
invited to contribute flowers, as they have
done liberally in past years, to the New York
Flower Mission, which institution, as is
well known, undertakes to supply the sick
and feeble in hospitals who never, or rarely
look upon green fields, and have not the
power to do so even were the chance offered.
Gifts of flowers therefore, and we have an
abund nee, are beneficial beyond the power
of w sto express. A meeting of ladies
will be held Wednesday afternoon in Hull’s
drug store, Main street to make arrangements
for forwarding the same.

last week. Westport loses agentlcman who,
in many ways was of value to {this commu-
nity. He expended money freely among us
and the improvements made at great expense
by him onzhis, homestead which, by the way
has no equal in Connecticut, are the indica-
tions of the kind of man he was. For a mass
of his advanced years he was remarkably
preserved. We shall regretfully miss him.

few, though :the splendid outlines which
nature has supplied are familiar to us all.

The young men of Wilton in the latter
part of last August, formed an association
for mutual improvement and culture which
they named, The Young Men’s Literary
Association They deemed it best. in as
much as most of them are farmers, to discon-
a (1 therefore announced that they would
close their meetings for the summer with a
reception. This took place on the evening
of J unc 9th. The young gentlemen invited
their immediate friends to the number of
fifty to be present and partake with them of
the good things provided. The evening was
propitious, and the company assembled at
the appointed time, at the Congregational
lecture room, where the exercises were to take
place. The‘As/sociation was called to order
by President Hubbell, and about 8:45 the
literary exercises commenced.
They consisted in an oration by Mr. V. E-
Root, of New York, songs by Misses Mer-
win and Olmstcad, and a short account of
the Association since its organization, by the
ex-Secretary, Mr. J. W. Middlebrook, who
took the opportunity to hit off very happily
indeed, the various members, sparing neither
the high nor the humble. They were closed
by a reading by Dr. - S. 1]. Huntington. A
recess of a few minutes was then taken whié’h
was consumed in friendly chat by the guests,
and then all seated themselves at the tables
which groaned under the load laid upon
them. An hour was passed very pleasantly
thus, when the toast master Mr. Wm. L.
Keeler, rising at his end of the table called
the first toast. {‘Our Association, which
was duly honored, and the President rose in
response. He traced briefly the course of
the Association and mentioned its aims and
objects. He spoke of the natural impulse in
the Saxon race toward free speech and its
results,‘and how Societies of this kind were
a guard to the public safety in that they
foster this desire: His words were greeted
with applause and the next toast was given.
“Our Town.”——The Rev. Mr. Merwin
responded to this, pronouncing a fine eulogy
on Wilton, admonishing the young men to.
preserve its integrity and to stand up for its
honor. He in turn received applause for his
able address and the third toast was declar-
ed:
“Our Young Ludies.”—Miss Eva L. Ogden
responded to this toast with the following
poem :—
Did you ever, as you wandered through some
seolii‘dcd nook, ,
Come on a sudden thicket of roses by some
, brook P
A sweet delightful tangle of color and of
grace,
Such as you never dreamed to find in that
unwanted place P _
So might some traveler journeying far from
the city’s .hum,
Upon the lovely human flowers of dear old
Wilton come.
So might he pause and gaze on them in won-
der and delight, .
And. try to chose the fairest one and find he
couldn’t quite,
Because somehow the sweetness and the color
in the sun,
Confused him so he could not tell which was
the loveliest one.
Our Girls. the sweet wild roses set thick with
little briers
That scratch and tear yet hold one fast in
spite of all desires.
Out of my little corner, I look and watch
them grow .
And call to mind a legend of ten thousand
years ago. _
Ad am’s first wife was Lilith soTalmud stories
so.
And herlie loved and cherished until the in;
to] day
When disobedience sent her as it did Eve
afterward
An exiie 33d forever from the garden of the
or .
Adam fell not. He stayed behind and watched
fair Lilith go .
And lingered in the garden a century or so
With a. little something in his heart like lone-
liness you know. _
At last came Eve, but after a brief though
pleasant stay ' ‘
A veritable woman she too must disobey.
But this time when the woman wont poor
Adam could not flout her
The thorny world was sweater with than Par-
adise without her.
And so the gates of Eden were shut on both
together ‘
To walk ’neath love’s umbrella through life’s
stormy weather.
“My one regret," old Adam said, “and even
. that Eve stilleth
Is since I were to go at last, that I didn't go
with Lilith.”
Dear boys I beg your pardKn but you are
young you know.
The girls are just as sweet to day as five
thousand years ago.
You‘ll have to yield as Adam did, Rn’t let
the prospect daunt you
And don’t let a regret like his thoughout a
long life haunt you. . '
But there a truce with jesting, one word
. you’ll let me say
Ere I give place to some one else to speak to
you. today. '
Roses are sweet and fair but none save a
. strong manly hand
And are high lifted up may have to reach
them where they stand. -
For like to like, in chomics false, is true in
all things human ,
None but an noble upright man will find a
noble woman.
But found “Ah” say the Germans, “set a
rose within thy home,
And pastthat flower no shadow of evil ero
shall come." .
‘After she had finished reading this, and
the audience had expressed its delight the
toast “Onn YOUNG Max,” was drank and
Mr. Geo. W. Ogden rose in response. He
began by saying .that he did not wish» to"
claim too much for the young men,and inthc
next breath cool’y informed the audience that
he thought them indispensible and that the
universe ;rcvolved about them. He ment-
ioned Adamsas the first young man pointed
out what he had done and bid his compan-
ions emulate his examplc. In his excessive
modesty he claimed that Socrates derived
a 11 his wisdom from the young men and the
Solomon was materially aided in the com-
pilation of the Book of Proverbs by the
same precocious class. He closed hoping
that when they' were young men no longer
except in spirit that a kindly feeling would
still exist among them and that they would
keep alive the memory of the pleasant hours
they had spent in the association room.» His
remarks, also were kindly favored by the
audience and the fourth toast- was called
“Our: Sonoons.” It was responded to by Mr.
Edward Olmstead, who has for many most
years conducted an academy. in Wilton, and
of the mem bers of the Association have at
one timefior another been pupils of his. In his
rc/Iiarks which were brief, but eloquent, he
styled himself the father of those members
'of the Association who had attended his
academy, and not only of those but also of
many of the guests there present, recogniz.
ing no fewer than twenty-five as children of
his. He spoke earnestly of the aims of the
Association and of how anxiously he had
watched its growth, hoping and fearing for
it as for a project of his own. He mention-
stiil remained for it to do, urging the young
men to press onward and faint not, assuring
them. thatdt would all redound to their ovfli
good and the good of their land. His
remarks deeply moved the audience, and
the applause showed plainly that if the
Prcccptor's in the young men was a fatherly
one, their feeling toward him was. that of
sons toward a father whose memory they
would always cherish and respect. The
Rev. Mr. Thompson responded to the last
toast, “01m Cnunonns," With a few approp-
‘ria emarks. telling the young men that
they were the ones to whom the churches
must trust and that their work was closely
connected with that of the church. After a
vote of thanks had been given to the com-
mittees who had performed their work so
well, the President in a few appropriate rc-
marks closed the meeting. A verse of
"Auld Lang Lync" was sung, all joining in
and the company amid congratulations and
good night’s dispersed. The young men may
well congratulate themselves on the happy
issue of their venture since a pleasantergem
tortainment has never been seen in the good
old town of Wilton. They deserve additional
credit from the fact that they received no
assistance from the “girls." Saying to all
offers of help, “Thank you, but we are do-
ing all ourselves.”
The names of the gentlemen who compos-
ed the committees are as follows: Literary,
Messers. Lambert, Rood. Hubbell and G.
W. Ogden; Entertainments, Messrs. Bctts,
Gilbert, Kecler and, I-Iubbell. The Associa-
tion will hold its next meeting (L. V.) on the
eveningof September 8th. ’84.
