August, 2d, 1873. T Lelievu we were sailinp; up the Hudson, when we last bade you adieu. After hav¬ ing enjoyed the delightful sail, the rcfrcsh- ina; breeze, and the pleasure of piazing, at leisure, at the fine -views either side ofthe river, we reached Albany, and were soon amid the dust, heat, noise and jam of the railway c.ir, and .nfter a tediou.s ride of several hours, we landed at Saratoga, half dreading and fearing that we would find no place to lay our heads—it being race week and Saturday—but we were agreea¬ bly disappointed. None of the hotels are full, indeed, mountain house?, seaside ho¬ tels ond all resorts have much less to do. this season, owing to the scarcity of money and the great travel to Europe, conse¬ quently wo had the best of accommoda¬ tions.
Saratoga—that Mecca towards whioh old and young set thoir faces, with an earnest enthusiasm that might well vie with that of the oriental pilgrims. Eut the springs aro truly wonderful; thirty or more, each differing from tbo otlner. Strange that such a little valley should contain such an inexhaustible medicinal supply, aud that the properties of each should so greatly differ. Congress, Em¬ pire, Washington and the Geyser are th» principal springs. A vast amount of wa¬ ter is daily sent away from each of these to all parts of the world, and yet no dimi¬ nution in strength or quautity. liow the people crowd about these springs before breakfast I Some drinking; four or five glasses of what, to us, ia far from being a uectarian draught. Eut I suppose ono can learn to like it. Let mo suggest, if you want real enjoyment, perfect rest and elegant leisure, then stop at the Clarendon Hotel, not largo ia comparison wilh the mainuioth hotels about it, though it eau acci.mmodate four or five huudred guests, bnt it is so luxurious, quiet aud select, uot so many birds on the wing, but good, sub¬ stantial, aristocratic families come here, the siaiie every year, till they are idonti- lii;d witi. the place. Stout, fair-faced old ladies, with placid smiles and tiuy wrin¬ kles on either cheek, who wear dainty little cap.s, from under which peeps a cun¬ ning little grey curl, and such stately black dresses, and such diamonds I Around each of thiiso wise old ladic.^, are generally three or four lovely daughters, who have so many pleasant nothings to say, and aro so delightfully busy over .i bit of worsted or embroidery, or else nre so daintily indolent, v.-ith no thought of flirtinjr, for there are few young men here to flirt with ; and there, too, is papa, -ivith his self-satisfied smiles and gold-headed cane. Such groups are seen everyv.-hore. We like this state¬ ly hotel, with its stately people, its cool, elegant parlors, its quiet and attentive servanSa, and as much as anything, we like the softly shaded dining hall, with its many little round tables ladoued with fuod, rare enough to please the dainticstt cpi- euro; but \7i-will leave this Sybari.^. and take a peep at thegreat hotels, viz : Grand Hotel, Congress Uall, and Grand Union, ali iuiTuense structures, each containing over a thousand people ; tumult, excite¬ ment, folly and fashion reign supreme; iu¬ deed it is New York transferred to Sara¬ toga Ibr the season, and as we pa.s3 from each of these i^uperb hotels, and Irom room to room, we see a world of faces and char¬ acters pass before us, as thro' a kaleidos¬ cope; grave faces, sad, hopeless, yearning faces, peevish, fretful facts, sweet, i'resh young laces, and Iiappy old faces; there is John Morrissy, who lias his famous gam¬ bling house here—a splendid building which could tell many a tale of deeds withiu—there is V'aadeibilt, with his mil¬ lions, hale aud handsome ; here a senator, thero a congressman, and there a clergy¬ man, looking Iiappy and contented, as Well-fed. well-kept clergymen always do look ; the blaze man of society, the native btir.i aristocrat, the shoddyist, and tho pale-faced invalid, all live, move and have their happy or unhappy existence here; but despite all, Saiatoga has its sweetness, its beauty, and utility; aud we leave it re¬ gretfully, by railway to Whitehall, and from there, by boat, up Lake Champlain. (I mean down, but going north it seems up.)
The scenery on the Vermont side ia rugged. Occasionally we .saw a nice farm and farmhou.se. Far off tho Green Moun¬ tain peaks loom up, aod on the New York fide we caught glimpses of the Adiron- dacks. Tho air was cool, the lake smooth SS glass, and the sail delightful. Wc land¬ ed at Westport, a small village on our left, and crossed over the lake to Fort Cassin, on tho Vermont side, where we uow aro. It is a large, substantial stone house, and was used as a barracks for soldiers iu the war of 1812, and was named for Lieut. C'sssin. Some of the fortifications are still here. The house stands on a peninsula, bounded ou tho north and west by Lake Champlain, on tho south by Big Otter Creek, which here flows into the lake.— This creek has the appearance of a South- cru stream, and is twenty or more feet deep, and sluggish and dark, with swamps oa either side bordered hy low willows and large trees, whose branches meet above and form an archway, making a sail de¬ lightful, while oue can lazily troll for pick¬ erel and pike, and pluek pond liliies and fight mosquitoes, iluring the war tho gunboats that were used on Lake Cham¬ plain were made in Vergcnnes, nine miles froiii Fort Cassin, and the oldest and suialle.st city in the Union, and floated dowu Otter Creek into tha lake.
What a gloriously jolly lil'e we do lead here ! and for us, it is the very acme of enjoyment j tlie cool, pure, fresh breeze from the uiouutaiii and lake, the delightful rambles iu the wood, the half sitting, half reclining on the rocks, listening to the dreamy, musical monotone of the waves, as they dash up the sides of the rock close to our feot; then to row over the lake right into a school of fish,where there are hundreds grouped together, to watch fhcm at play, looking like tiny gold cresents as they revel in the sunshine; poor, pretty littlo fish, it is exeitinir to watch you bit*, and pull you up as fast as we can throw in tlie lint', but it is cruel too.
Uy the w.iy, the last sensation hero is tha Ijake Serpeiit, whieh is said to bo en- orniiius, fifty feet long or more—though varies in size aceordiug to different ac¬ counts—aud which travels np and down the lake to the terror ofall who behold it. It is said to have eome originally from Lake George, indeed one account is that a man haviug seen the huge thing there, took a party of men and went in pursuit of It, he growing tired, sat dowu upon a log, and afcer whittling n stick, stuck a knife into the lof, up;iu which it slowly moved away. N. B.—We didn't see this serpent.
IJut this is nothing to the excitement of three years ago. A party of gentlemen known  as tho "Eagle and Woodchuck
Club," who were spending the season here fishing, wild duck shooting, &c., were one night started from their peaceful slumber by one of their number, who jumped fran¬ tically from his bed, and with eyes staring, hair on end, and limbs trembling, pointed to the open window, and exclaimed, in ac¬ cents of terror, "there I there ! don't you see hiui, that blasted Thuthersounger ? he rides right over everything!'' Who cau describe the horror of tho Club, on beholding a creature with great wings, the body of a lobster and the visage of a beast! when they recovered their senses the thing wa* gone, and strange to say, has never been seen since. Now, I won't vouch for the truth of this story, but I saw a mem¬ ber of the Club who told me, aye tho ver¬ itable artist who made a sketch of the great "Thuthersounger" as he appeared that uight, and alao of the terror-stricken face cfthe man who first s.iw it; the pic¬ ture. I myself saw, as it still hangs in the north room of the hotel. Tho story is also authenticated by Mr. Scott, the gentle¬ manly proprietor, and former landlord of Fort Cas.'^in House. (This animal i.-? not described in tho works of I'rof. Agaseiz or iu those of uny other naturalist, and is kiiov.-ti ouly to the members ofthe "Kaglo and Woodchuck Club,")
And now, having spun out this letter too long already, you will allow me to bid you an abrupt adieu, with a trip through Lake George in view, and whether or not I find it all my fancy painted, you will surely hear from mo.

The First American Newspaper.
The story of tho fir.-it American news¬ paper, brief as was its life, is full of cu¬ rious interest. Seventy years after the landing ofthe Pilgrims oa Plymouth Eock, and two hundred and fifty yoars after the invention of printing, a newspaper wa& issued . in Bcstoti. It lived oae day, and only one copy is known to have been pre¬ served. That cojiy w.is discovered by the historian of Salem, ths Eev. J. 15. l'"elt, in the Colonial State p:iper Ofiicc, in London, while en,a-Hged in researches relatiiig to the history of his own city. This pioneer of American journalism was published by Benjamin Htirris at the London Cofiee Ilouse, Boston, and wtis printed for him by liichard Pierce, on Thursday tho 25tli of September. 1690—nearly two centuries after the discovery of tha New World by Columbus. The paper was printed on three pages of a folded sheet, leaving- on« page blank, wjth two columns to a page, and each page about eleven inches by aeven in size. Harris proposed to issue his paper ouce amonth, or oftener if there should 't>e a '-qlut of occurrences." His first—aud as it turned out his only" num¬ ber—contained several columns of home and fwreign .gos.'ip, without a word of ed¬ itorial comment. Unfortunately for the success ofhis undertaking, he priuted oue or two items of local and military news which set the official busy bodies in a fer¬ ment of indignation. Tho legislative aut'ii.iritics solemnly determined th.at the paper came out contrary m hiv^, and that it contained "reflections ofa very high na¬ ture." To prevent Mr. Harris from i.s. suing a second number, they forbade "any¬ thing in print without license first obtain¬ ed from those authorized by the , govern¬ ment to grant the same." In this way, tlie first American uewspaper came to grief; and but for the aceidental preser¬ vation ofa single copy in London, its very name would nave passed into oblivion.— Harper's Magazine.
A Camp Meeting Story.
The .Martha's Vineyard correspondent of tiie New ]5edtord Standard says: Camp-meeting John -Allen is on a visit to tbe Vineyard, and we spent a very pleas¬ ant honr with him ou tho Sabbath. He has attended 285 camp meetings, and in ans-iver as to his age remarked that he felt as young .is twenty-six, but was in his seventy-ninth year. In the course of the conversation, ho remarked what unruly boys ministers were blessed with, and thought it best to give us a littlo circum¬ stance that happened on one of his cir¬ cuits.
A reverend gentleman, somewhat ad¬ vanced in years, was called to follow his partner in life to the ,i?raTe, and, sufiicient timo having passed to keep her memory sacred, the old gentlenian took it into his head that he had better marry again. His boy, finding ont that his father was abont to marry a girl of twenty-two, just set to and gave the "old gentleman" a lec¬ ture. The reverend listened to the boy until his patience and good nature were about eihaustod. Finally, the boy seeing that he could not make his father angry, finished his lecture with this remark. "Well, I don't care if you marry the dev¬ il's mother." Tho face ofhis father red- encd a liltle as he looked at his son and remarked: ••0'. I buried her lastSpring." Wc think Uncle John loves to tell these stories, as a good hearty laugh wa.^ enjoyed by him after this.
Familiap Words.
The .slang expression for death, "kicking the bucket," had its origin from oue Boi- sover, who, in England, a great while ago, committed .suicide by standing on a bucket and kicking the bucket from under him.
The word "bumper," meaning a full drink when friends aro drinking, is a eor- ruption ofthe toast ofi'ered in French to the Pope when the Catholie religion was in the ascendant in England.
To dun, to press for money due, comes from ono .joe I)unn,afamou3 bailifl" of Lin¬ coln, in England, during the reign of Hen¬ ry VII. He w.^3 so commonly successful iu collecting money that when a man re¬ fused to p.iy the creditor was asked why ho didn't Dunn him.
Humbug isa corruption of the Irish word "nimbog," pronounced oombug. signifying soft copper, or brass, or worthless money. At first applied to the worthless coin, the word became the general title for anything false or counterfeit.
The sign viz: signifying to wit, or namely i.s an abbreviation of videllect; but the third letter was not originally z ; it was the mark used in medicine for a drach m in writing much rH.?enibIes z, and ia viz. wa.s simply used as a mark or si,gn of abbre¬ viation.
With the working msu of all grades and classes the great object of reading ia the recreation of the mind—that is to say, diversion or distraction from pressing tho'jghts or wearisome confusion. This object can be «erved only by snch reading as will fulfill the purpose; and any reading which does this, and does no harm, ia ex¬ tremely useful reading indeed.

Literary Notices.—It is  a difficult
task for the pen to dtjjcribe tbe artistic beau¬ ties of the October Aldine, a number which flashes witb rare gems of art, even as tbe Oc. tobcr foliage assumes Oriental splendors. Tiicrc arc four full page picture.s in this issue, each A master production, by celebrated ar¬ tists. Mr. John Divi'i Su? a lovely picture called "Nutting," a. group of eh^ldrcn beneath chestnut trees ; .Mr. Alex. Lawriegiveja (crand view of Eliiabetli VaJley, in tbe world famed Adirondack region of New York ; Mr. Holmnu Hunt, tbe famous English artist, is represented by "Tbe Eve of St. Agnes ;andiIrs.Gieatorei has a characteristic ."ketch of an old house in New York City, the Haraen Mansion. Besides these great pictures, Mr. Kruseman Van Blten gives a mid-summer view on Salmon Brook, in Conn., Mr. J. McEntee, of the National Ac- adeny, bas a brilliant and dreamy October sketch called "Falling Leaves," as good sin anything which ever came from the pencil of this famous artist, a bird picture of a duck and sparrows, called "Opulence and Indi¬ gence," is after Gustavus Lus ; au original American landscape scene represents the flight of wild geese over a reedy lake ; there is a magnificent portrait of tbe beautiful and accomplished Angelica Kaufmann ; and Benja¬ min Vauticr, one ofthe most popular painter- at Dussoldorf, bas a charming German mteric.J called "Poor Pussy 1" Tbe remaining illus¬ trations are a little gem, "The Summer Show¬ er," and a view of "The Ilinter See, in Upper Bavaria." No art jouruai in the new warld has ever attempted to give in ono number >o many- rare aad heantiful pictures. The liter¬ ary contents of the October Aldixe are nnns- ually brilliant and piquant; as cri«p ns the air of October. In poetry Geo. W. Sears writes or"(Jctobcr ;" Mario S. Ladd, of "Endeavor;" \V. W. Bailey, of "The Forest Spring;" W. L. Shoemaker, of "The Rod Lily;" and Nellie C. Hastings, of "A Dead Life." A better collect¬ ion of poems seldom appears in an American magazine. In romajce Lucy Ellen Guernsey has a gracefully written story called "Pene¬ lope's Web," and W. F. Yocum, a thrilling tale of the "Loss of tbe 'Ore Pino.' " James Jack¬ son Jarvis writes of "The Lady of Bellos guardo," who was the intimate friend of Mrs. Browning; Mrs. M. Despard describes the old "Harsen House;" Francis Tiffany has an essay on "Tbe Rage for Depicting Reality," in which he narrates the love life of Moliere; tbere is a lengthy sketch of Angelica Kaufmann;and Gath Brittle has an amusing chapter on ."Cur¬ ious -Advertisements." Dr. Fsller-Walker, the editor of Thb Aldi^ik, has articles on "St. Ag¬ nes," "Salmon Brook," "Falling Leaves," "Elizabeth Valley," ".\mong the Birds," and ".i German Interior," fie also writes ofthe "Central Park Bronzes" in the art column, and of Philip (jilbert Hamerton's "lalellectual Life," and the President of Spain's (Emiliu Castelar) "Old Rome and New Italy." The musical departmeet glances at the coming New York season, and reviews mnsic abroad. From this outlino sketch ofthe October Al- DIKS. it will bo seen that it has an immense va¬ riety of art gems and literary articles of the highest order. Subscription prico $5, inclu¬ ding Chromos "Village Belle" and "Crossing the Moor." James Sutton & Co., publishers, 5S Maiden Lane, New York.
The October number of LippineoU't Maga¬ iine presents rare attraction, as will be seen from the following summary of  its contents:
There is presented an interesting artiole on the reigning King of Bavaria, Ludwig tho Second, whoso liberal and enlightened policy, while endearing him to tbe mass of big sub¬ jects, has mad* bim a mark for the attacks of the Jesuits and reactionists. The writer, a resident of Munich, gives many details in re¬ gard to tbe character and habits of the king. illustrating his stainless life, cultivated intel¬ lect, and devotion to the interests of his people.
A brilliant article from the pen of Mr. Will Wallace Harnep, entitled "A Strange Land and a Peculiar People,-" describes the moun¬ tain region forming fho border laud of Ken¬ tucky and Tennesce, giving vivid pictures of the country and its inhabitants, and narratives of some exciting episodes in the civil war, and the bitter fends to whicii it gave rise in this "debatable land." Auother article toaching on some ofthe scenes and events ofthe great struggle, is an illnstrated paper depicting the country between the Potomac and the Ohio, following the course of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It is graphically written and finally illnstrated.
Tba "New Hyperion," with its delightful illustrations by Gustavo Dore, grows in inter¬ est, the present installment containing some interesting particulars of the siege of Stras- burg daring the late war.
Miss Howitt's "Home in the Tyrol" is Cbn- cluded ia this number, as is also "On the Chureh Steps," the final chaptei't giving a somewhat piquant sketch of the Shaker com¬ munity in Berkshire  Connty,  Mafsaehusetts.
".4 Princess of Thule," by William Black, of which a long installment is given, increases in attractiveness, tbe story being here brought to a crisis.
Several obarming Poems and an interesting variety of "Gossip" complete a very attract¬ ive number.
Appleton's Journal gives in a weekly form all the features of a monthly magazine. Its weekly issue brings it a moro frequent visitor to the family than is the case with a monthly periodical, whHe, in course of theyear, amuch greator aggregate and a larger variety of pa¬ pers are furnished than are given in any ofthe regular monthlies. Bat, for those who prefer it, the journal is pat up it monthly parts, and in this form its scope and variety, as compar¬ ed with other magazines, beeome conspieuous- ly apparent. Price, 10 cents per Number ; or $4.00 per Anuum, in advance. Subscriptions received for Twelve or Six months. Subscrip¬ tion price monthly parts, $4.50. D. Appleton & Co., Publishers, Now 'Tork Oity.
The Sanitarian, a monthly Journal published by A. S. Barnes & Co., Nos. Ill and 113 Wil¬ liam Street, Now York, for September, is upon our table. It is tbe first numbertbat wo have seen and we must admit tbat we aro very fa¬ vorably impressed with it. It discnsses all the various sanitary measures tbat are adopted from time to time, and points out remedies which will tend to prolong life. Its subscrip¬ tion price is but $3.00 per annum. The in- print of A. S. Barnes & Co., is a sure guaran¬ tee that the journal is all that is claimed for it.
