2 SUMMER RESORTS. QUOQUE. otc * Quogrr, August 19, 1805. Life at Quoque—Aquatic Masquerades— The Poetry of the Seaside—A Scene After Claude, Se, Se. ur life here, though apparently monotonous, is iw reality more diversified than that of the city. Itis fall of amusing and laughable incidents, which, al- ‘*ongh trifies in themselves, serve to keep us alive @uring the day. ‘The habits of the plave ave these:—Having break- fasted at about 74 o'clock, we sit on the piazza, con- versing with one another, or gazing at vacancy un- ti! the carriages arrive tocarry us to the beach; and there we have a scene ly amusing and cha- racteristic. I believe I told you that our costumes were unrivalled for picturesque absurdity; and you can indeed have but little idea of the ridiculous figure most of the bathers cut in their outlandish garments. The beach slopes down quite gradually from the sammits of some little sandhills, on which have been erected some rustic arbors, built of planks and covered with pine branches, The surf rarely, except in the very high tides in spring, comes with im fifteen or twenty yards of them. Those who do not bathe, sit and gaze on the spectacle below. On one side can see a party of ves, clad in red, daahing boldly into the thickest of the spray, even as-their illustrious namesakes at. Inkerman, plunged headlong on the foe. Further on, a party of nonde- ta, whom, perhaps, we might style ‘the foreign tuning, Tabing frenticaly alter theta 0s 1181} r ran! recede; bat illo as soon as the ws coe in, in- ey euing and beating an ignominious re- it. While others, here and there, each one on his own hook, with the most perfect impunity, are bearding old ““Enosegaeus” in his den, and, despite his howlin; and fumings, escape unharmed. Mor is the scene less amusing on the sandhills under the arbors. The ladies gen- erally are seated on the xen boards that run ‘from one extremity of the arbor to the other, while the gentlemen are stretched at full length on the sand, at the feet of the fair creatures to whom it is their delight to yaa homage. There’s try for yor In these interesting positions, they ‘the ‘genta and ladies) beguile their time by look- ing at the bathers, or by conversation; and the gen- themen, when al! these resources fail, amuse them- selves by covering the “ petite” toes of their lady friends with sand—a proceeding which, doubt- leas, couduces highly to the happiness of both par- ties. After some two hours spent on the beach in these varied amusements, we return to the house and have dinner, and after that spend the afternoon sleeping, tishing or riding, as the case may be; then tea, and then the best part of the whole day—the glorious evening. The sun is ‘fist dipping into the sea as we come ont on the green sward in front of our house, and far and wide all things are tinged with his glowing beams. We had, the other night, one of the most gorgeous scenes I ever beheld. In the west, the monarch of the day was slowly retiring to his ocean eouch, while overbead and all around everything was bathed in living light. The fleecy clouds were tinted by the radiance, and assumed so many varied forms and shapes, that it was as though some golden panorama was passing before our view. Now you eould gee some beautiful landscape, varied by cot- tages, and trees and meads; now. me tropical scene, the lowly hut, the tall palm trees waving in the fervid breeze—and the glowing sky only serv- ing to render the illusion still stronger. But in the east the scene was still more wonderfal. There, all was dark and gloomy; the heavy black clouds lowered and frowned at the brilliance of the opposing sky, and all was stern and grand there. It must have been some such a sceve as this that met the gaze of Napoleon on the heights of Borodino, when the wan gleamed and danced over the bayonets of his legions, while opposite all was murky and grim; and while the impulsive French cried, in frantic wheers, “ The sun of Austerlitz,” the Russians were ‘as silent as the unas Nor was this all; the linger- ing sun beams retlected on the cloud of spray arising from the ovean, formed a gorgeous rainbow, and, fo complete the scene, the lovely new moon rose in the midst, and cast a soft, silver halo over ihe tery golden colors of the clouds, and the two, blending and intermixing, gave a soft purple tinge to the heavens—a tint that a pare might have longed ver—of which the poet might have dreamed. Such — are but rare in one’s lifetime. e evening fe spend in various ways, wenerally winding up with a merry dance. We quote a great deal of poetry here, and chop sentiment, by the hour. One gentleman, by his recitations trom “ Macheth,” has acquired the sirname of Macduff, and the phrase, “lay on, Macduff,” is used a hun- dred times a day, and on every possible occasion. Do two litile boys quarrel, and proceed to violent measures to reconcile their differences, every one shouts ont, “ Lay on, Macdaff!” Does a gentlemon show symptoms of great voracity at dinner, hi is frequently admonished by the universal maxi. of altered a little to suit the case in point—and is told, “ Lay in, Macduff!” and so on to the end of athe chapter. I don't know whether I can write again or not, as they watch every one so closely that it is almost eo, bog to procure pen and paper without falling r the suspivion of being your correspondent. But, if fortane favors me, depend upon it, you shull not be forgotten by MEPRISTOPAILES. GREENPORT, L. 1. . Gresnrort, August 18, 1355.

He resisted, as much as possible, all solicitations to enter public life. He served a little while in our Municipal Councils and Our State Legislature, but escaped as soon ax possible. He gerved two terms in Congress, with honor and good repute. He brought to that market articles with which it is not overstocked: sound, reliable, practical know- tedge, and freedom from electioneering projects.
