Excerpt: ... But the golden shafts of that glorious orb Soon shot from his cloud-wrapt face; Yet their glare was gone, for the sun had come To the end of his daily race. With the mellow light of the closing day All the western sky was lit. While the parting clouds seemed jasper and pearl Together most brilliantly knit. Now the air grew cool as we turned away, And descended the foot-worn track; But the drama was o''er, and the curtain cf night Fell around us journeying back. 0. F. L. Sajjbroofe, By Rey. Horace C. Hovey, Of Northampton, Mass. He who visits this place can hardly fail to think of what might have been. And it is not strange that the venerable residents still cherish the thought, that if Yale College had not been removed, Saybrook might now be a city, and New Haven but a pretty village. Naturally, the younger inhabitants trouble themselves but little about the question. Yet, who knows 1 The Say brook that we now see is somewhat scattered about, though the largest group of houses, and the three churches, are distant a mile or more from the Sound. The Saybrook of old times was quite compact, and occupied the peninsula embraced between the Connecticut river and the Cove. It was cut off from hostile approach, by a strong palisade, of which some remains are still to be seen. Modern Saybrook is quiet and peaceful, dreaming of the past amid the drowsy susurrus of giant elms. It is the home of some two thousand Yankees, who are inclined to pursuits agricultural and piscatory, rather than military. The Saybrook of two hundred years ago was warlike and ambitious, the home of daring adventurers, who dreamed of founding a city that should be distinguished for its commerce and its wealth. City lots were actually laid out, which may be seen to-day; houses were planned ...
