You‘d have thought she'd too much bile,
If it hadn‘t been for her equintreyed glance
And her charming wide‘mouthed smile.

From the Philadelphialnqm'rer, Thursday
Aug. 24th, 1871 :
I long wished to visit Rockaway-a wish
first formed in those bright halcyon days of
youth before there is a past to regret, and
when the future is all bright and rose color-
ed. Afar down the mists of Time, to that
hazy period of youth when the mind re-
ceives those first impressions which tincture
so much of one‘s after life, I remember with
what pleasure I first heard and afterwards
learned that popular song, one stanza of
which I still retain in my memory, though
many years have passed since last I repeat-
ed it:—
“ 011 old Long Island‘s swell-t shore.
Many an hour I‘ve whiied away.
Listening to the breakers roar
That washed the beach at Rockawuy."
Rockaway, to my youthful mind, was pic-
tured with the delights of the Mahomedan
1mmdise.;. I believed then in the poet’s songs,
us I afterwards did when I grew older in
the vows of her to whom I surrendered my
heart, and both the dream of youth and the
wish of manhood have been wrecked on the
shores of disappointment. I shall not give
you an account of my life, but my trip to
Ilockuway. I took the steamer “ Nelly
\Yllitc" at Pch Slip, New York, this Sun-
day morning, and, after stopping at Pier No
4, Brooklyn, and Christopher street, on the
North river, to lake on board svvcrnl install-
ments of well-dressed and well-behaved ar-
tisans and their wives nr sweethearts, “‘1'
moved down tln' harbor among a fleet of
other steamers, barges tintl sailing craft, ouch
hearing it: burden of living freight from the
crowded slums of the great metropolis, to
one of the many sylvun groves or bathing
resorts~ around the writers of New York
Harbor. The sight alone of the harbor on
Sunday is worth the trip.
Everything in the shape of sailing craft
seemed called into requisition, to furnish
transportation 10 the thousand who, on this
summer‘s day, are seeking to get uwny from
the scvncs of daily toil out into the open
air. Ferry bouts, immense lmrgcs lashed
tugothcrnnd propelled by steam tugs, fast
river stcauihoats. big Sound steamers, all
moving through the water, making the air
resonant with (in: mingled music of their
shrill whistles and the strains of numerous
brass lmnds. The austere Puritan may
condemn [his seeming violation of the sanc-
tity of the Sabbath; but the more such ex-
cursions are putmnizul the less will be the
record of the City‘s crime. A b‘lutcn Island
ferry bout. was pushing out of the slip us we
passed the Battery, and looking upon the
lower and upper tiers of human freight, I
could not lu-lp feeling that the craving of
the pmplc in get :\\\':i_\' from llxc city‘ one
day in seven must be very great to conquer
the horror with which the runembmnce of
I Llu' " \Vus'tivld“ explosion must be associa-
INI.
Thu “ fully White" is a staunch East
river atunmcr, which during the week plys
between New York and Nurwulk on the
Sound. On Sunday hIIQ mukv» her trips to
lluckaway, under the charge of Captain J.
A. Frame and Frederic Perkins, Esq, both
gentlemen known to Philadelphia.
The suil from New York to Ilockuwuy,
on the “ Kelly \Vliite," occupied but about
one hour and :1 half, and the fare for the
rouml trip is only one dollar. The fare by
mil is four dolhns, i believe, and occupies
about IIII‘C‘U Imum. This is the only instance
I ever knew of slcalnbuuts beating railroads,
though the “ Daniel Drew," “Mary Powell”
and “ (‘hmmcy Vibbard" all make better
time on the North river than many trains
running out of Philadelphia.
The View down the buy isreally very well
worth seeing. After passing Governor’s Is-
lam! the shores of Long Island are in sight
all the way. From Brooklyn down to the
Narrows it is called Buy Ridge, and is lined
with picturesque villus, towering above the
crest of the terraced slopes, or peeping out
After passing
Narrows with the frowning
batllcmcuts of Forts Hamilton, Lafayette
and Richmond on either side, we soon
rcncllcd Uuuuy Island and got into the open
5811. Our course lay almost near enough to
the billllt'i‘s zit Com-y Island to distinguish
tlu-ir fact-s, and quite near enough to read
the signs on the hotels and bathing houses.
.Thus I could distinguish the Point Com-
fort Hotel, the most pretentious looking
house, ornamented with Jersey fresco of a
yellow hue, surrounded with spacious but
unsightly piazzns. A more uninviting look-
ing place than Coney Island would be hard
to tiutl; but. it has its devotees, who find as
much pleasure there as richer, but no bet~
ter people find at Cape May. It seems as if
it. had been vomited up from the bottom of
the sea. by some submarine sand volcupo,
