Correspondence of the Republican abut of the Chalk Cliffs In 'erecting Reminiscences of Bra ding and Arreton ari brooke Castle Agriculture of the Islavtl The Condi tion of the arm Servants No vii London Ausr 22 1853 The chalk cliffs on the South of the Isle bf Wight rising perpendicularly out of the water to such a hight that a tall ship sailing near ap pears but as of the hight of a man compared with that of a church tower more than answered my expectations Portions of these cliffs are clay instead of chalk Some are of a deep red some of a grayish brown and others of almost every conceivable shade Many of them are just about perpendicular others withdraw towards the land and some lean oceanwards Here and there are tremendous openings through which streams of water flow into the Atlantic called inthe vernacular chines but what in America would be called ravines or perhaps by geologists gor ges The view in many places is overpowering Whether you look up from below or down from above you stand in awe With respect to the downward look I might rather have said lie than stand for we dared not look down otherwise than by stretching ourselves on the ground and thrusting our heads over the brow and even then I wished there was a strong rope round my heels and a reliable friend hold of the other end These glorious phases of nature are not to be perpetual The voracious Atlantic is steadily but surely swallowing them up Land slides are fre quent In some instances as many as a hundred acres are said to slide off and disappear at once The owners of the lands cannot tell certainly when they lie down where their lands and their sheep will be in thn morning Sometimes a large extent settles down but a part of the distancejto the water at once and then waits for farther un dermining operations before it quite disappears We saw an instance of tills kind An extent of apparently not less than fifty acres had sunk down from one to two hundred feet we judged nearer the latter leaving the bank remaining nearly perpendicular A shepherd who was tending his sheep near told us that this happened in 1826 and that two men were on the fallen part when it went down and were fright ened but not hurt and our guide books speak of a similar slide or rather subsidence in 1799 when nearly a hundred acres settled down over turning the only dwelling house on it while the occupants were 'fortunately absent Whether these statements are correct is more than I know but there the fifty acres as we estimated now lie as fit for grazing as ever completely fenced in by a precipice of several hundred feet perpendicular on the sea side and a wall of nearly two hun dred feet perpendicular hight on the land side giving unmistakable evidence that at some peri od it has gone down and given a sopiewhat long ride to whatever happened to be on it1 At least it must have seemed long to the men if they were there for the shepherd told us that the movement was slow so slow that it could hardly be seen by the looker on i rom viewing these and other sublime speci SRens of natural scenery we proceeded in a north easterly course some 10 miles to Brading on foot portion of the way but more on the top ofa coach a beautiful way for seeing a fine country Here we paid the shilling as is the custom all oyer England and went into the old church more tliah 500 years old (the guide said eleven hundred) in which Leigh Bichmond preached We visited also the site of the old parsonage now re built in which he wrote Daughter? and Young We saw the tomb stone of the Daughter and read its beautiful inscription also the verses on other tomb stones which that excellent man used to en courage the children of his parish to copy and learn the house in which the Young Cottager lived the room in which she slept the little shelf a rude piece of board nailed to the chimney on which she laid her bible and hymn book The sordid owner makes the occupants 'pay an exor bitant rent because so many pay sixpences for seeing these reminiscences rom Brading we went to Arre ton four miles all the way ovet a beautiful down (hills are downs here) fed by thou sands I know not but I might say tens of thou sands of sheep These downs over a chalk for mation are of a thin soil but yield a sweet feed and are almost wholly appropriated for the graz ing of sheep rom hills of this kind here and in the South of England a most excellent breed) of sheep as is probably known to your readers are called South downs At Arreton wc saw the old church which the Daughter attended and were point ed to the pew in which she sat The guide con tended that this church was much older than the one at Brading 1 It had been built at piece meal different parts had been renewed at various times and the guide showed us some of it which he insisted could be proved to be nearly 1200 years old It must be understood that in this country things are valued more for their an tiquity than for their convenience especially by those who get the privilege of showing them for a price or worse for you please to This church like the one at Brading was the most inconvenient comfortless old thing conceivable pews old and rusty and so high that a of less than six feet could hardly jump high enough to see over them stone pavements instead 1 of floors pillars three or four feetn diameter and? frequent enough to break the speaker voice into a thousand fragments pulpits away up yonder the whole dismal I said to the cicerone at Ar we had such a church in America we i 8 4 BOOK BIMDERY I AND

sooner be the author of his and than be commander of the war ships at Spit head No one can estimate how many souls will leave earth preparedfor a higher destiny in con sequence of their simple' but beautiful and truth ful ltJ i 'Tn the course of our rambles over this Island we paused an hour or two at' Carisbrooke Castle now in ruins This appears to have been the home at various intervals of regal power for not less than fifteen hundred years Its site is on a high hill a little out of Newport and on the south side of Carisbrooke village It is very large and must have cost millions and millions of hard work The hiil on which it stauds is of course a natural elevation but the mound in side of the walls on which stands the an immense structure designed as a last resort for the besieged is evidently the work of hands and it must have cost thousands of hands whole decades of years to get the1 material together Here we were shown the window of the room through which Charles I endeavored to make his escape a few days before he expiated his political sins on the block We had before been shown the room at Newport where the last fruitless effort was made to bring him to reasonable terms rom these mighty ruins we could not but draw a comparison favorable to the present over the past Embankments for railroads will be more likely to benefit the race than the rearing of ar tificial mountains for the ot castles Thank God men are now better employed than in rearing such enormous structures as Carisbrooke Cas tle The well in this fortification from which its occupants obtained their water and from which the present 1 employes of its salaried Lord Keeper obtain theirs by the aid of a donkey oh a tread wheel is three hundred feet deep and five feet across mostly in solid rock To show us that there was no deception in this the keeper made the donkey draw a bucket of water in our presence and though the donkey hard the bucket was ten minutes in rising He also let down a light and permitted it to float on the water The effect was wonderful and we no longer doubted his account of the depth What tales of bitterness and of hilarity of carousals of sin and of unmerciful inflictions would these old old ruins tell if they could remember and speak I have left too little space for the agriculture of the island The land about 90000 acres is all beautiful and is beautifully laid out and enclos ed with green hedges The Northern portions are less fertile than the Southern but all are good scarcely a foot of waste land anywhere ap pearing The estates of the Queen and several noblemen occupy large portions of the Island Nearly all of the rest is in the hands of a few large holders It is divided generally into large farms but varying all the way from 25 to 1000 acres Smaller portions such as a laborer could culti vate with his own hands or one on which a poor family might keep a cow or even a large garden can hardly be had This puts the laborers or as they are here called the very much "into the power of their employers But of that more in another place The principal crops are wheat barley oats and beans Rye is culti vated to some extent and late turnips are grown largely on the lighter lands It has long been the practice to prohibit in leases the growing of two wheat crops in succession but no other re striction being insisted on were in the habit of growing oats after wheat and so keep ing up a succession of grain crops This was found to be a ruinous course and now it is gen erally insisted in leases that no two wheat crops wheat barley oats and rye) shall be grown in succession Some green crop is always to inter vene and since this practice has been adopted the farming interest is said to have greatly im proved The Isle of Wight is often called the garden of England In addition to supplying food to its own population (about 50000) it sends large amounts of produce to London Its inhabitants arc apparently industrious highly moral and with the exception of farm servants they certain ly lead an enviable life These as before stated are entirely ih the power of the farmers hardly less so than slaves in that of their masters and they are not well 1 speak of farm servants in the Isle of Wight only I do not believe it is so iu the kingdom generally It has been my priv ilege to become acquainted with many English farmers and I want up one to tell me that they are generous noble hearted whple souled men for 1 see it Eor ought know farm laborers in the kingdom at large get about a fair proportion of the fruits of combined labor and capital It is not so in the Isleof Wight There is there with the exception of ship building very little manufacturing done Consequently there is lit tle call for laborers except on the land By aribthei consequence the' only competition is for employment and those who have only labor to sell must sell it very cheap or starve Wages are this summer 9ushillings a wbeje for a man 6 shillings for a woman and for a boy accor ding to his ability in all cases' without board We however saw but few women at work in the and no ('boys h6ft an unreasonably tender age In? the course of our walks Uwe conversed with scores of these farm servants care ful to utter nothing which could increase their discontent for that under the circ*mstances would have been dishonorable and useless They all told us the' same story Their work was cheap everything in the way bf living was dear the rcagon of this last was plain they were a lit tle in debt had no money and must take what they wanted on the order ot the employer at such prices as the dealer in the article chose to exact All said that they worked fourteen hours a day some said that they had to work hard most said This last was the truth Wc saw that they worked but slowly and yet they ap peared weary dull like men that were jaded out Their demeanor was respectful but scarcely one of them could speak good English Qne said gets meat once a another said hopes another never gets no They seemed to have been in structed religiously as well as men of no more mind could be but were otherwise very ignorant The staring truth is' a'sort of oppression has been practiced upon them (successfully owing to their isolated condition) till they are reduced too low to be able to take care of themselves One of them sitting alone on the fence (it was a post and rail fence almost the only one we saw on the island) told us that he had siif children all too young to work his wife was sickly he got 9 shillings a week could not pay for his schooling never 'ate meat if he should cat as much bread as he wanted bis wife and children would get too little could get no ground for a garden cultivated a little spot in front of his cottage but could not raise much We spoke to that man of America He stared as if he did not know there was: such a country asked if it was where the Irish go had heard that it was a very bad country that those who gp there never can get enough to come back vyitb and so have to stay and die there We gave him a trifle for which he seemed grateful and left him with the sad reflection that for him and hun dreds like him there is scarcely a possibility of rising and that it is next to impossible with no free schools in reach to bring up their children to abetter condition I said to my companion voyage you as
