~Aflcr this date, for several months, Chirp‘s
mime is not mentioned in Barth's journal.
Can it be possible that Ralph intercepted
her letters. and that the mould of doubt
grew over Berta’s heart, shaded as it was by
the clouduof silence and separation? Can
this be the only reason Why Cbirp‘s name
was shut out from Bern's journal? Or was
it. pcrchance, impossible for Berta to have
that loved name over before her eyes, plead-
ing with its silent eloquence to “ Come and
take me to your arms again" ?
We were loath to ask Miss St. Marie how
her heart bore this absence of her loved
Chirp and the months of disappointment at
not receiving a single hurried line to calm
her torturing anxiety. Therefore we turn
to Bern's mother. and that estimable lady
replies as follows :
Mrs. 81. Marie, to l oodof chtcbostcr.
“ You ask me, dear friend, how my dar-
ling Berta bore the loss of that strange child
Clurpie, whom you certainly recollect, with
her great staring blue e es and rather hund—
some hair. 1 wafers, never fancied her
very particular! ; but Berta and she were
inoperable, an seemed to love each other
so ondly that I said nothing; although
Chi very frequently interfered with Ber-
ln‘s ousehold duties. They read together,
and walked together, and sung to thcr. All
this I never objected to; but. I d d at times
chide my Berta darling for kissing Chirp so
much. And I've often midtto her: “ You‘ll
see. my Berta, this 'friendsbip will be short-
l
lived.’ I’ve been mistaken, however, and
van, dear friend, know what remon l
have for saying this. But my m forgives
everything. As day after day and week
after week passed awa , and no letter came,
I noticed that my eh: (i new pale and bol-
low—eyed. \Vbereupon, sat down and
wrote to Ralph, imploring him nut to
undermine my Bena’s health by thus pre-
venting tbc two friends from writin to
each other, if nothing more. than a few fines
at. a time. Strain to say, he took no notice
of my letter. “ hat a cold heart that man
must have,” thought I. Meantime, my poor
child w paler and thinner. She herself
cov Chirp's picture with a veil, and I re-
moved eve little object which I thought
might I the im of the lost friend.
Poor Berta! She sh . no tears, and either
passed her time writing, or wandering noise-
lessly about the house,” if in search of
something lost. “’hen the Sabbath came
her face would brighten up a little. No
doubt the thought of praying for her be-
loved Cliirp wrought this change. Winter
arrived. and mowstorm after snowstorm
raged violently. The roads were almost im-
paassblc, and the peoplewere imprisoned in
their own houses. No one came to us. The
windows of my Berm’s room were buried
beneath the snow. Just 1 t enough came
in to enable her to commute her writing.
Here it was, in this twilight solitude, she got
the better of her heart and resolved to
grieve no more. You know what followed,
my dear friend,and,thoreforc,l will how
lay myrrh aside, for it is many a since

In a. dream, last night. I wandered all the
way to Bethlehem, and following the strep:
herds, knelt with them before the mother
and her babe. One old man, with a beard
that reached down to his girdle, took the in-
fant‘s rosy feet within his brown, toil—hard-
ened hands, and kissed them again and
in. The mother looked at me and
_“ Mary, we do
wrong to suffer this.” and then turnin to
me, he added : “ Who-bade thee, ma' on,
come and kneel before our child Y Knowest
thou not who I am 1’ I am Joseph, of Naz-
areth, a just man, and camentcr by trade.
We’ve marveled greatly at what. these men
have said, understanding it not.” And here-
upon Joseph was about to spam the gifts of
gold and frankincense, saying again, “ We
0 wrong to sufl'er this, beloved Mary.” But
the mother put forth her hand and restrained
him. “. Knowest thou not,” said she, “ how
the Lord hath dealt vntbame ?" Joseph was
silent, but. the babe wept piteously. Mary
.bent over her child and comforted it; then,
raising her eyes to mine, she murmured:
“ Woe unto the mother who beedcth not the
weeping of her child.“ “Full this my dream
ended, and for an hour I lay and listened to
the low beatin of my heart. I felt and at
having droame so strange a dream, and yet

The cases, as they were ”litigated in the
courts, illustrated the feature to remarkable
degree in the evidence for’defence. One
witness was never annoyed by the prmmce'
of these nuisances although he was much
the nearest neighbor. He had his reasons.
Another, and a very intelligent witness liv-
ing in this town, never found these smell:
unpleasnnt, and rather liked them. He
esteemed them wholesome, and could
only ,compare them to bee bread.
(I think I hear the critical citizens of
Norwalk saying: “How are you, bee
bread T") but it, transpired that the wit.
ness was interested in a similar fish oil
factory in an adjacent State. The next dis-
interested philosophical witness also com-,
pared the smell to honey, (certainly a re
markable coincidence of smellsfnnd desired
to see this highly important branch of in-
dustry extended and eliminated. As the
light was thrown upon his evidence it Iran.
spired that lie was one of the original cor-
porators though not now a party in interest.
The. next witness had never been in the
least discommodcd by the smells; and on
one occasion, while on a Fourth of July
excursion, bad made an. inspection of the
workman Chimlnon's Islands and found
them sweet and lovely, or words to that
effect. This witnesa fumisbcd the dry
goods and groceries to the company, and
thereby bangs stale. The next disinterested
witness's testimony did not amount to n
W of beans, as he was profiting by making
and repairing engines and machinery for
the company. A sash and door makers evi-
dence ditto. Our next disinterested wit-
ness was an old salt, who actually enjoyed
these nuisances. Reason: he was freight-
lng and selling barrels to the company. The
next salted witnwa supplied vegetables, and
received now and then presents from the
company (his neighbors), which corked up
his olfactory. The closing defense was a
steamer employee, who could not answer
for the passengers, (they might have been
weakly persons, hence more sensitive); but
every twice: day under the lea of these
diabolical nuisances found everything balmy
and serene, or words to that effect.
The testimony on the extent and drum
aging efiects of these nuisances was over-
whelming. Dozens of families made sick,
and sufl'ering numerous diacamforts; com-
pelled to. clue their dwellings in the swelt-
ering hot weather; visitors compelled to
leave; persons depending upon summer
boarders, with empty houses; livery stables
without their accustomed riders; no more
sailing partich; real estate depreciating rap—
idly in value; and salt water residences
rendered unsalable and voiceless; those
were the burthens of just and uncontrovert-
ible grievances, as every citizen well knows,
as every child could comprehend.
The danger is happily averted, and possl~
bly no more trouble will ever arise from
those causes; but I am convinced by the
subsequent statements of some of the dc.
fendants that the whole people never began
to estimate the threatened danger, had these
nuisances not been speedily abated. The
fish oil factories would have multiplied
tenfold; when all the beautiful islands of
our bay would have been given over to de-
struction, and farewell, citizens, to your
homes, and your property. Like Greenport,
L. I., you would have been compelled to re-
solve yourselves into a great. fish oil and
guano community, or compelled to emigrate.
one million of dollars would have beeps.
low estimate of the depreciation of real ea-
tate, bad the defendants succeeded in this
suit.
What should now be done by the towns
of Norwalk, Wmtport and Southport, is to
purchase and forever own these islands.
