It was a very "bridal ol tbe earth 1 fl ! ana sky," and followed naturally tbe cast L I wind of a "halcyon and vocifcrooa" con- ! ^ ' gresaiooal convention. Spicrr Learning, Esq., one of Philadcl- j ^ : ph'ut's moft-gehial and gcnllcmaoly law- 1 n ! yers, who can build his own boat as cor- & j nrtly as liC ran construct a brief in ] the Common Pleas, invited us to try tlic ^ i croakers sod the .drum. .

(.n Cape May (my hour's struggle with J thai gamy fish— is nyt the chronicle of ^ ! it-all written in last Vhar's Forest axd j Stheav?) still lingers pleasantly in my f | mind. And when Spiccr said, "lot us ^ , drum on Saturday." I came to the side ^ | of tbe sounding sea on pdrpoae." Spicer t — ai>t(v1 tqdhe party Morris Creasy, wbdbbad j givvn ^eniy 'of the best yrara °4k»v, •ry oast, and, when not going to sea in ^ 1 ships, Morris had played a stout and | sueeesaful rod and line on the black and r J red drum, the black aca-baas, the macker- | el. as well as on the tweet tempered and , | unoffending shark. With Morris Crease ^ ' came Sydney Townsend, as agreeable and . : devoted an angler^ ever stood in tbo ( The mackere! holiness which nttxasi- J tales riling t/i A.

[ SO A. M. saw u*f«ur and uo niorc ( [ plowing down Ibe thoroughfare toward . SewrllV Point in the little cat-rigged boat Mutate, made and completed from keel to tuck by Sydney and Spicer, called the Mutate because she was cut Iu two j and her stern made over again.

by a buoy coosttttrtal of a cedar log with ( six -inch rag on a standard, fluttering in the breeze. No wonder Shelley loved Hie , aa Byron did, and as the white wings . of the Mutate caught the Favon'ian , I cried out with Joy akin to , Xenopbon's aoldiers, wbo, running away , the Persians, hankered for the sea, , and Uniting it, exclaimed, "Be tboU , greeted thou Infinite sea." As we looked ahead to the croaker ground, two miles sway, I bethought myself to gaze on tbe voluminous lunch basket, and I -will "sum up" by mying there of eicadi et biirndi. thirteen kinds , of liquors and solids— mostly solids— for would permit the use only of the of the purple grape which had in ; the sunny sky of Italy, and tbe bottles marked for "medicinal purpoara," , and, surely s liquid like that could not displease the must fastidious temperance advocate, not even my friend H.

The great 1 painter who vainly sought to portray the anguish of that historical father » ho con- [ demned his sou to death, drew his artist brush over the "stem parienl's faoe." So r I draw my pen over the sad havce of that lunch! To my dying day I will oever tell 1 never tell you whether it was the pear.'.be , sprioot, the plum, tbe watermelon, the cantaloupe, the peach, the quince preserve, the lard inc. the Spanish ban, tbe toothsome sandwich or hard-boiled egg i which let Blip the dog of war on my dij gestioo, and kept me in bed half of Sud- , day, able to feed only on pcpim. quinine i and boiled milk!

"About Jhe last of February, 1865. Mr. , F. Warren, a photographer of Walt- 1 j Mass., left home, intending, if prac- , ! ticablc, to visit the army in front of Rich- 1 >nd and Petersburg. Arriving in Wash- J on the morning of the 4th 0( 1 and finding it necessary to procure j to carry out tbo end he hail ia , view, he concluded to remain there until the inauguration ceremonies acre over, and having curled yitb him , 1 all tbe apparatus necessary for taking negatives, he decided to try and secure aaitt(sg from the President. At that time t rumors of plots and dangers had earned '< - the friends of President Lincoln to urge upon him Uie necessity of having a guard, t and, as he had finally permitted tbe preas cncc of such a body, an audience with r him was somewhat difficult. A>n the af- - tcrnoooof the 6th of Marti, -«r. Warren sought a presentation to Mr. Lincoln, but fouDd, after consulting Kith The guard, that an interview could be had on that day In only a somewhat irregular manner. After some conversation with Uie officer in charge, who became convinced of his loye ally, Mr. Warren was admitted within the I, line*, and, at the saqic time, was given to 1- understand that the sSfcst way to obtain a an audience with the President was e through the Intercession of his UlUe son l( -Tad.' The Utter was a great pet with li the soldiers, and wis constantly at tbeir barracks, sod soon made ills appearance, 0 mounted upon his pony. lie and Uie ft l>ony were soon placed ia position and » photographed, after which Mr. Warren o baked 'Tad' to tell hU father that a man .. hail MM all the war from Boston, and the

was particularly anxious to ace him and obtain a sitting from him. "Tad' went to are his father ftrnd the word was soon relumed that he would cnmrly." Iu the meantime Mr. Warren had improvised a kind of studio upua the south lalcony of tbe White Uuuse. Mr. Lincoln soon came out, and, laying but a very- fe* words, look liU seat as. indicated. After a single negative was taken, be inquired: 'Is that all, sir P Unwilling to detain him longer than was absolutely necessary, Mr. , Warren replied: 'Yes, sir,' and the President Immediately withdrew. At Uie time- he appeared upon the balcony the wind was blowing freshly, as his disaranged hair indicates, and, as sunset was rapidly approaching, it was difficalt to obtain sshatp picture. Six weeks Ulcr President Lincoln was dead, and it is doubtless true that this is the last photograph eve? made of him."
