C, July ?th, 1877. p k a it l\ ate : Un tlio very day that I received your long looked-for letter, I had written lo ti friend about Ihc satno feelings that saddened you; then, when I read of your dejection, I felt more forcibly how dreary the pros pect is for the young heart to look lb ward lb nothing pleasant stored away for it in iho future, and to feel ihe bitterness of tin aimless existence, devoid of every thing it most desires. Youth is generally hopeful, but if such tin outlook would he gloomy to one whose keel is almost ready to grate on the other shore, what must it be to ihc young voyager but fairly launched on the dangerous current ? It is sad lor us to lind sorrows strewn so thickly along the wayulrcidy, but I long ago learned tee bitter truth, and found out I bat no words ever emanated Iroin i he pen of pod truer ? lhau tlie ib lowing lines : "Ah ! Lilc h:i< its vi-ion- of beauty, but its hope* ami Usjoys ilceUiie; Ksicli heart holds an urn of dead roses!" And I can Iruthi'ully add, "many have withered in mine." Did you ever feel the. power and pathos in the little interjection at the beginning of the quotation ? I mean when it is appropriately applied.. Alas is considered full of meaning, hut it has none for me, while the other conveys a full heart of sadness. A great deal of poetry has been dedicated to spring, und rvery yen some lunatic; alllicts newspaper read ers by grinding out a few verses on the subject, but .as poetry is not coat - monly true, this "gentle visitor" i.-. always the companion ol envoi, sickness, tind a miserable, distrait feeling with me, and it seem:, with you, likewise. You remember what "fits of blues" we had last spring? I attributed it to your being in love dien, and perhaps,? though, ho, I reckon not,?maybe. 1 am suHering from it now. 1 have been trying for two vents as hard as I can lo full in love, just to see how it does m ike a l.ody It el. Lately, 1 was in hopes 1 was successful, lor, when a certain blue eyed chap (and I an adorer of blue eyes) Hushed up crimson, and trembled in my pre-euce, 1 could1! help feeling a qtieir little thrill Steal down inside my chest. L curiously noted it, and observed, eagerly, the clfcct on myself as the tingling, shivering sensation crept down near the region of iiiy heart and died out in a little flutter. Immediately thereupon, a serene smile stole over my features, a ge.ial warmth per vaded my system, and a glow of poeti cal sentiments flooded my brain. I felt then that 1 would be. willing, if that boy would sit by and tell me. of I the Centennial, to fry bat lor cakes for him over a light wood blaze, (though a Hushed face is not sit all becoming to me) or wash up any amount of dishes if he would stand near and , wipe bho dry occasionally. Indeed, I was wrought up to such a height of devotion, that, ovea if I do detest tobacco and its manipulators, (that iush't the word, but 'twill suit my purpose) I would patiently sit down and make fancy, fringed pipe-lighters with which to touch off his cigar (seg.ir?tho shop-keepers have it now) while he. read for my delecta tion some choice passages from'fenny son's melodious poems, lint, Kate, after all J am do jilted to disappoint ment. After the exuberant emotions recorded above, I experienced the second stage of the tender allliction. A. pleasing sadness came over me its I thought of the possibility ol his car ing moro for some one else than for me. J pictured myself going discon solately through life, roaming lone ami eluerlcss among gay revelers, with a growing m? Inheholy tugging al n.y heart, and seeing all my bright hopes, "as dreams upon the slumber ing sense, Pass unfulfilled away, And leave hut mcmory'H grieving bells, Tliatsoh and moan, likeoerean shells*, Kvci and ill way." (Do have patience with mo, it is iiiy iirst ami only experience, anil yon know I promised to tell il to you when it did come.") Then with humid eyes aild a big lump in my thoracic elongation extending between the head and shoulders, 1 thought of us ?3 "walking a part, forever and wav ing our hands in mute farewell" as we should "speed out lonely paths, thro' Iii ist, and cloud; and gloom ?to meet no more!" Hut, oh ! what a pang shot through every fibre of iiiy sensitive organization as tho image flashed -through my excitedbruin of his "eyes of passionless, peaceful blue, like twilight which faint stars gaze through smiling in tender joy upon another girl.*' Ah! I was in de pair, but. even in that moment of supreme agony, I forced myself 11 ihc resolve, that the world should never know il, "only my hear!to my heart will show it as I walk deso late day by day." Yes, I bittcrl) felt, that "of all sad words of tongue or pen : The saddest would he, 'It might have Wen,' litil rt ulder still, ami still more oft we sec: 11 is, Inn li?tlii't ought lo he." Hut a new revelation has co ne t > me to day. My final thought as I retired last night, was, that I would certainly patronize and encourage these sensations to see how il would end; however, I woke up this morn ing with fever ami sorcthrnut; then, in an instant, I saw it. all ! I tear ihc disappointment will seriously inj uro rf my constitution, as 1 fond I) dream el I wj.s actually falling into the. usual I'dly of youth, and now, I have heed rudely awakened to the ridiculously mortilying fact, that il. was only a common case of spring fever creeping on me \\ it h sit it'ihy approach. Oh, dear! some griefs gnaw deep, smite woes are hard lo bear. Sadder to relate, a ra lical change has come over my sentiments with regard to j the lovely Adonis. It I kifewhewas j passing right now, I would not take , the trouble lo convey my corporeal system over the distance intervening between me and the window even for a glimpse of his entrancing feil tu res, ami should he come in ami rattle j over a story of undying love, I am j confident the course I'd pursue, wmibl be a mixture of iudill'ercnec, nonchalance, a little contempt, and titter disregard of the speaker. I There! Kate Catherine, I know [you are convinced that, your corres pondent writes sheer nonsense; but, n\tu-hcn\ you were feeling gloomy,:so was T, so 'twould never do to nourish ?such feelings, and as I'm afraid of stereotyped topics, 1 had to fall back on my own resources; however, I never expressed myself on this topic before, ami I know you would like to hear my opinion, therefore, I'll con tinue in the same Hue. Seriously, I think if very humdrum, as much sons did ihc Diu? West girl, who '.old her beau a short time since, that she liked "goobers" belter than love. When I sec twoyouiig people exhibit I iug much delight in each other's company, all smiles and pleasantness, ami unable, or not caring, to conceal their decided preference, 1 cast a pro phetic eye into their future, an I what do I behold 'i A gruff, careless, pro voking old, commonplace chap, with a strong regard for tobacco, au 1 a faded, tired out, disappointed woman, dressed in tho pokiest ofhniiiiets, interested in housework, gart I en s, neighborhood gossip, and?nothing else?I suppose people fall into ji habit of carelessness,still 1 ain't sec why they shouldn't, try to be agree able alter they an; settled down for life, ami n il drag along like snails. I came across n little poem in which the idea 1 have, isyo well expressed, and the question I've wondered over, is put j o i crtinonily, ihat I'll give you the benefit of it. It is too poeti cal for ordinary life, but is a hyper bolical illustration of thi glum >tt r seen by average, nay, all, lovers, though the after-til night contained in the last verse, seldom conies to them : "Hand hi hand, on the river of time, \\'c 'AO lloating down together; Soft are the blue skies above our heads, Balmy the spring-time rcatht-r. 1'rightly thewitters reflect (lie jiiih, As we glitte in drehitty splendor; ' Softly the hreezes till our sails, Murmuring low ami lender, Siveel arc the hint firings lipon tin."short's, Km-hanting the sceiiuammid us; With noiseless feel steal the moments hy Sinee Cujiitl, the love-god erowned us. O do you think, in the after years, "With the it lory (ifyouth departed, We then sliall stand still hand in hand And heart to heart, as we started?" On reviewing, as the magazines .say, I think there is :i plain, co'union pluco fact underlying this lirst verse, in wliicli the lunatics are represented as floating down the river of time; lor, matrimony at present, as well as life generally; is a mere floating on lite current, borne at will liy the Udo of circumstances and tossed in any di rection by th". force of events. It is not a vigorous paddling of your own canuoe. The occupants are dissatis fied, that there serins lit) feasible w.ty to control the bark. Now as to the "blue skie;," "the balmy spring-time, t.right, waters," &e. I doubt if nature is so beautiful con lein plated alone. "Wo glide in dreamy splendor" ? well, I did never glide there myself, ?but bow such terms: can be applied to silly girls and thick-headed boys, is beyond tin* comprehension, lint the "sweet songs a ml enchanting scones,'' where with "noiseless feet steal the moments by"?I know then, still I was not aware that ' Cupid, the love god," was lurking anywhere around; jnor do I think anything can be added to deepen the meaning of the last .verse, onl)', it. is a lamentable fact, that the "band in hand ' is permitted so much before the life-contract as to become distasteful through famili arity,? truly, \Yebsi,.;r w.ts grimly ?facetious when h.s d jfi 1 ?.} a "fain i jiar"' as an intimate acipiaintance; a Alemoa. 0 You . always profess great, interest in ntv letters; *?: inn cr :/??#, chcii ii'oviitii, but I thin'* I'll try yourp-iti cnee this tim.!.

LONDON*, May 20.?A distinguish ed personage, whose arrival here on a visit is awaited with considerable curiosity by the public and with great interest by Mr. Darwin's Prien Is and enemies, is just now receiving innumerable calls from his large cir cle of friends in lWlin. II: is called I'ongo, and is the most interesting result of a Prussian seien tili; expedi tion into tho inter or of Africa. An account of his habits is fur nished by a correspondent in the Prussian capita', who is on terms of grc.it intimacy with him : "Poiign is now," the writer helic es, "nearly three years old, and he is about three feet high; his b > ly is covered with sott, silky hair,mixed with gray, and reddish on the heal. He has a powerful form, muscular arms, smooth, polished Ida :k faca, with weM shaped ears, and la rge, sh arp and malicious eyes, which gives him a strikingly human appearance. When one has the pi cosh re, as I had this week, of spending a morning with him in his apartment, he strikes you ? after having got over the slight feelings of disuppnintni;n*. which it produced by the absence of any bridge tu his no-e?.is being sing tlarly like a very amusing, playful, and goo I uatiired negro b y. rather awkward in some of his go; tu re?, an 1, in his mode of progression, sometinios dis tinctly ape 'ike. As In- sits, looking solemn around him, ho appears to be thinki.ig of what the next joke shall he, until presently something in your gestures or voice pleases him, and then suddenly be claps his hands to gether and nods with an iiir of great delight. "He is very sociable, and distin guishes young from old an I male from female visitors. He is exceed ingly attached tu society of children of two or three years old, plays about with them as though recognizing them as playfellows of his own age, chases them around the cage, allows them to pull him about, drag him by the legs and roll him over and over, swings with them on the trapeze, kisses them if they allow him, and permits them to take every kind o! liberty without making any unfair use of his superior strength. With nhler children he seems to understand thai ho m ly be more rough, and, when he is racing about with them, lie slyly upsets a chair, ami takes the appurtuuity of giving them friendly boxes on the ear. When ladies visit him in his large cage, which is suitably furnish ed with sofas, chairs and table, trap e/.e, and all kinds of gym it as ti e appli ance; they have nofliihg to fear, ex cept from his somewhat importunate amiability. He is particularly de lighted if they, take hi in up in their arms; he einoraces them and leans his head against their shoulders with a grateful and gratified air; he is by no means willing to be set down again. "The Berlin Aquarium, in which ho now holds court, is rich in varie ties of the larger monkeys, and when he goes into the monkey's cage he rules there supreme Even the cliim pan/ec, who resembles very much in his clever human ways an old favor ite of London at Ihc Zoological Gar dens, treats him as distinctly his superior. The gorilla, however, ap pears to recognize the, chimpanzee as nearly his equal, chooses almost ex clusively for his playmate, ami be stows friendly but rather rough caresses on him. He is fond of get ting bohl of the chimpanzee, keeping him down and rolling him over on the ground. Sometime Tscliego man ages to slip from under him, an I then fongo sprawls awkwardly on tlio floor on both liand.s, and looks up with ah expression of accepted defeat;, lie walks on tbo sole? of bis feet, leaning at the same time on the out side of his hand-*, but he turns out Iiis toes far more than the chimpanzee, and he.carries bis bead more grandly erect, this seeming to be the mark of high social standing. When in high Spirits be has a way of showing the lip of his rod tongue, which makes his black face look all the more like that of a negro boy. "His mode of life is as human as are all his w ays. lie sleeps on a mat tress rolled in a rug, and at about M o'clock in the morning he rises in his bed, sits up. yawns, scratches himself, anil remains in a sleepy, listless con dition till be has taken bis milk, which be drinks out n tumbler. Ho is no v wideawake, and leaves bis bed and looks about the room for some thing to play with, and perhaps, if he is allowed, to destroy; for he is as mischievous as any child or as any monkey. Then be looks out of the window, chips his hands, and for want of some more suitable compan ionship, begins to play with his keep er. '1 his man must be continually in attendance on him; he does not allow himself to be left alone for a single moment. If be finds himself alone, he utters the shrillest cries un til he regains the society of man. At 11 o'clock the gorilla is tubbed, an operation in which he takes the great est delight, expressing his approval in bass notes, which, perhaps, it will be impolite to call grhbtlngs. "lie takos bis meals at the usual German hours; for breakfast he lr.is .sausages, preserved meat, cheese and tin: favorite ISerlin white beer. It is exltcmely funny to see him try to hold the glass*with his fat, short fin gers, while lie is assisting himself" with bis feet, lie is fond of fruit, which he eat' "ith the most gentle manly deliberation, carefully remov ing '.he stone when eating cherries or other fruit of the kind. At 1 o'clock the keeper's wife brings him his lunch, and he seems to possess so punctual an internal monitor of the lime that this should be brought that, he is always extremely impatient if it is not there to the minute, and al ways goes down to the passage to look for it when he hears the bell ring. He begins by looking into the glasses, and tries to steal something out of them, whereupon he usually has his ears boxed, and then them^al begins, consisting of gravy soup, rico or \egetables boiled with meat, &3. Sometimes it finishes up by a most, welcome slice of roast chicken; this is his great treat. "After bis meal he wants a siesta, like all other inhabitants of tropical climates. After a sleep of about an hour or an hour : .d a half he.is ready for more play. In the afternoon ho has some fruits, and in the evening lea or milk, and bread and butter, lie goes to bed at 0 o'clock, lying down oil Ids mattress "to be wrapped up in tlie woolen blanket. He al.vays insists, however, on his keeper sitting by him till be is asleep, whichsoi>ii conies to him. lie prefers, however, being allowed to sleep with the keep er, and then he puts his arm round his keeper's neck ard leans bis head against him. He sleeps uninterrup ted all night. In the way of life ho has lived ami thriven, until ho has increased in weight, so hi 3 thirty saveti pounds. A sh. it lime ago he fell ill with bronchitis. He was a very rest less and impatient invalid, and seem ed uttei iy wretched and far from ami able in temper. Many doctors as sembled round him every day. Ho was heated with quinine and Kms water, and a uui brm, moist temper ature was kept up in the room. Now, however he has completely recover ed.
