Ahnhst unheralded, these first days of Juno uro destined to witness tlio advent of a henutifu lly illustrated volume of D r. Stokes1 poetry,, and wo hike the earliest opportunity - to scan- its make-up; ; and

■ cnocmhlc o f tho new volumo.■ . • POETS. AND I’OKTItY.

On entire ly different grounds we must determine its poetic value. Foots aro rare." There is pbctiy—and poetry. Versi iiers cultivate what wo may term lingu istic tact in rythm ic combination, and eupho­nious adjustment of phrase, but the .olnbo. ration, w h ile it shows industry, lucks lire. Then ; there may appear a semblance of tlie true nilhitus, oven to the altitude of “ tine phronzj1,” but there Is a deficiency in muse. T lie accepted poet is level, k ind ly tempered, .tender. However lo ft ily h is sharings may traverse the empyrian, the tone, ati undertone, Is ' always into to nature, and allied to goodness and purity.

B ring ing o u r tests to these “ Blossoms ” o f an exuberant fancy and profoundly in wrought fa it li ; (for faith hero, great faith seems to be mainspring and tho pinion of fancy,) wo have evtm moro than passabJo poetry. It .is nut so creative perhaps, as it is descriptive. It touches the intangible ly in g dormant in tho reader's'm ind, aud reveals what we dream and feel, but And no languugo to express. T il ls is, indeed, a proper uud not tlie least Important olc moiit lu its high mission.

THIS REALISTIC FACULTY..I t has often been uotlced tlmt D r. Stokes

has tho faculty to make one see as bosbos, e xu lt where lie admires, uud enjoy tho landscape which, pictured in its dancing lights and shadows on.; h is own percop

' tidns, he portrays in prose or vorso. Tu rn ­ing to “ Pooms of Places,” tlio first sketch in the collection illustrates this. Ho is clim bing tho Catsk iU :

Ami now, o a tho crown of tho m ountain,I s tand In.tlio fillc»ico o f G od;

And the mists lie low In the valleys,Like gloom bn tho soul o f tftsp alr ;

And the clouds Unit deepen u n d darken Willi padtie&s aro filling th e a i r ;

Ilu t tlie sunlight, gushing from heaven,With glory baptizes Hie land,

And here, Iti this cllnuyy o f splendor,I 'm lost In tho Uodllko and grand.

Ip*the same pnom wp. have one of those Scriptural s iin illtudes, wUh w hich nearly e ve ry th ln g h o w rites abounds:

A n allusion to tlie “ Mount o f Transfig­uration” is also Apposite, a little sermon, in fact, whiqh leaves its impress l ik e a benediction. ; • :

In th is section we find “ A Song o f the Woods,” w h ich in measure as w e ll as fancyt we th ink m ight he singled out, as one o f the most perfect hits of sentiment In th e ' language. These “ Poems of P laces ** take Ihr mountain, cataract, glon, stream and flowing river, from North Conway and Lako Cham plain, to St. Augustine, nnd the “ S ilve r Spring'V of F lo rida , leaving to another department; liowevor, tlie notable and hoary landmarks of history w ith which h is transatlantic v is it recently mado him fam ilia r. As fugklvo pieces most of these pooms ap­peared imm ediately after Ids brief excur­sions to different points, and we havo met people years after who could repent them, every stanza, indicating tlio hold they took on memory.

More delicate and d ifficu lt wo suppose to bo the noxt classiflcation, entitled :

POEMS OF PKUSONS.

T lie field is narrower. T h e w rite r must become a d iscrim inating student of tlmt m ost'perp lexing of a ll subjects, “ Char­acter,” nnd when it is remembered how few even of our most unique characters havo any poetic suggestiveness in them, it is rea lly moro of an -adventure to deline­ate a man liv ing or dead than to explore “ W atkins’ G len,” or sketch tlio “ Adlron- dricks.” • • /

BlosgomH.” Its bloom nnd beauty today owes something—how much, it m ight he extravagant iii us to intimate, to h im , al­ways among Ids compeers am) eojaborers honored w ith supreme direction in its transforming- processes of ornamentation and u tility .

W c question whether tlie publication of this brochure was .contemplated at a ll in ­the p lauof Dr. Stokes’ book.. I t is In fact a i>ook in Itse lf, aud* absorbs here about th irty 12mo pages. I t was delivered at Oeeuu-Grove ojj the one hundredth anni­versary of Am erican iihjepoudeyce,. J y ly 4, lfcfrti. An introductory uote w ill iutorest the reader, as showing the orig in of a thought which he vigorously amplified, into allegory, which becomes the vehicle r if a sum m ary o f Am erican history, with a p lentiful adm ixture of Iodepemlenee- day patriotism . Appeals to print “ T o yn g A inerica” have, we know , been frequent and urgent, but here for .the. first time, it takes on tlie im m orta lity of type. Whero nothing else umuug the “ blossoms” of the volume may attract, for turites w idely d if­fer,-tins w ill be regarded its it s chef d'audre. We lack space for quotations...

A rem ark or two must close this delight­fu l ramble through a delightfu l ujaZe o f many-hued “ blossoms,” a ll redolent w ith tlie atmosphere of heaven. T h is latter pecu liarity , ‘We th in k , justifies tlio tim e and space we have,.from our own prompt­ings entirely, given to tlie publication. Thero Is.more iu it than the flowering out .of June .luxuriance, “ too bright to last.” D u tfo r its soul stim ulus, intense aud posl- itlvq, .It ; m ight bo pissed over w ith less .attention. .

Bhetorica lly , much of D r . Stokes’ poetry .m ight be ; critic ized * for the cum ulative attribute. H ing ing changes on u word or phrase like ringing a bell may distress a .votary of the economic school, yet even lie .w ill confess the power thereby secured.

Fu rther.: “ Blossmps" qre tVe^oyopsiuir- blngers of fru it , they mean something sub­stantial In the domain of p tilH y, tin w ell as beauty. In Its figurative associations, wo conjecture, the word was selected for a title . In th is connection it is new, Wluyt 'it is capable to suggest in thought, in aim and life , especially l ife brought into hur- mony w ith God and a ll tlmt' is gotnl and true Imre and hereafter, w ejm ve the best Tousons for supposing to be the jmrposo, expbuiatlou uud uppermost aspiration of every lino in the book.

A visitor, to the locality of the now Church edifice as late os last F r id a y could hardly expect that by Saturday n lg lit, tho ornate and spacious chapel end of tlie building could have assumed such a fin­ished appearance. Th e floor, cleared of debris, had bcon covered w ith comfort­able chairs, the platform handsomely car­peted, presented the cheering spectacle of a conservatory of bloom. The in fant school room on one side, and a beautiful class room on the other were thrown open to increase tho seating capacity. Gas was turned on, b rillian tly lighting up the premises, and satisfied that everything was in good shape for the Sunday services, those whose absorbing interest in the suc­cess of tills grand work had called out such resources of industry and taste, re­tired for. the night.

Before the rain had ceas'bd ori Sabbath morning people began to gather for the opeuing sermon. A t 10.80 every available seat was occupied, .and the stained glass partition windows between the main audi­ence room of the Church, still urifiriished, and the lecture room, had to be let down to allow the overflow a clmnce to see and h e a r.' .. ■: ' ... ; : 1. W ith the fam illu r doxology heartily rendred, the devotions began. A very neatly printed programme placed in the hands of each worshiper, enabled a ll to unite In singing hymn 8 .v

“ From all th at dwell below the aklea.”

Rev. S . Jaquett'offered the introductory prayer. - Scripture lessons were read, and Psalm s 84 made a beautiful and Impres­sive responsive service.. A fte r the offering, a financial statement

was made by M r. G . W . Evans, on behalf of the building committee, showing tlie expenditure so fa r of about $8,000, of which tlie treasury was overdrawn to the extent of $ 8,000, hut it w.as tlie purpose of the corinnitteo to push on the completion of the main building so tliat It would bo ready for.dedication in about four weeks.

The hymn, “ I Love T h y Kingdom , Lo rd ,” preceded D r . Stokes’ sermon, which was founded .on Isa iah 40; 80, 81; “ Even the youths sh a ll fa int and be weary, and tlio young men shall u tterly f a l l ; but, they that w ait upon the Lord shall renew t lie lr strength; they shall.mount up w ith wings as eagles; they shall run and' not he w ea ry ; and they shall walk and not faint.” .! The speaker, alluding to tlie scope-of prophetic description in this chapter, said its very Bubliiriity became aw fu l, In the personification of the infinite. God. H e measures tlie waters In the hollow of his hand, weighs the niouhtalns In bal­ances, counts the nations as nothing, slt- teth upon the c irc le of the earth, nnd stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain. Before such almlghtlness we sink into eternal nothingness; .but coming to the text, there is encouragement. W e ure cheered w ith assurance of syiripathy. H e giveth power to the fa in t T h e y that w a it upon tlie Lo rd sha ll renew th e ir strength^ B y w aiting upon God we rise into the light aud fellowship of tlie d lvirie . This, duty im plies a place fo r worship. W h ile God may be found everywhere, tl;ere is special appropriateness in places desig­nated for th is’ purpose, lik e the Taber­naclo of old constructed after the pattern given to, Moses In the mount. Pub lic worship must be nmifitained o r the world would lapse Into paganism. Wo have hcen wonderfully favored as a Church. There are some who hear me this day whose memory stretches back to the ldg cabin, the* country school hdusej and the p la in bumble churches In w hich the fath­ers nnd mothers assembled themselves together. B u t their descendants in more prosperous circumstances have improved greatly <«r the orlglnul idea. Hundreds of thousands of dollars not unfrequently In these times are devoted to single liouses of worship consecrated to the service of God.

These flowers bloom out of a divine necessity. So the wealth God bus given us naturally flows out In heuevoleuco, and .what better fbrm cun It take thun i n a beautifuLtem ple erected to his name? T h is place was not conceived or built by tlie ungodiy. I I i s own clilltlreu arid peo­ple bear tlie burden, unci make it monu­mental of their gratitude and love. And this is not a' duty to. which men must ho driven. Jt Is duty, hut we uro d ivine ly drawn to its performance. I t Is rather a privilege, und should over he a delight.

“ I have been there, and still would g o ;'Tla like a l ittle heaven below,"

A t tho old c ity .o/ Cologne all avenues converge to tlio great Cathedral, as if it were recognized us tho central and su­preme attraction. So should tlie House of God be in our estimation. .

En te ring the W indsor palace some time agq, although England ’s Queen was not there at the tim e, we fe lt that wo were in the abode of royalty. ' W e tliought i t was an honor to’ meet in person the K in g arid Queen of I t a ly ; hut what are earth ly potentates, their palaces, throno rooms, aud trappings of royalty, to tho audiencq

chamber o f the K in g of K in g s , and Lord o f Lords, and the humblest person here m ay cla im him as his Father. ! , \ ■■

W henever you come, then, to w a it upon God, and some of you have often come w ith burdened hearts, rest and healing is promised here. Love attracts us to H ia feet, -we are children of a K in g , and our coronution day is drawing n igh ,. W ith cheerful heart and reverent stop le t us enter these gates of praise, and like Moses, the countenance w ill shine after commu­nion heaven. .

The outcome is strength. Ju s tw h a t we most need. Even physical' and intellec­tual stimulus Is found In devotion; but these are only secondary. The way is rough and long, and load heavy. Young men In a ll thoir freshness may faint, even these tireless feet of childhood and youth grow weary. Food and sleep becomes necessary. So w ith tlie soul. God alone is its help. In him a ll wants are. met, all desires suppHe(L D av id , tho K in g , recog. nlzes this, In Ids c ry fo r the liv in g God.

The blessedness of w aiting is indicated by elevation and Inspiration. “ They shall mount up,” not, however, on eagle’s wings; they have a lim it In poise and flight—hut wings as eagles. W here the eagle’s flight is bounded, faith rises on arid ever, until it reaches the boBom of infinite lovel

THE BUNDAV-BCJrOOIi IN ITS NEW HOME,

‘ A t S i». M. the songs of tlie ch ildren made the now building resound, M rs. Summers’ infant department fitted nicely into their own room, and tlie little ones looked as fresh and bloomingasthe plants and flowers with w hich the cosey place was adorned. In connection w ith tlie regular lesson for the day; w hich we are glad to say Is never pushed out of place by any incidental novelty, l iv e ly addressee were delivered by Superintendent Evans, M r. -W. Dey, the chorister; T ; M . Dunham, E sq ., and R o v .C .L . Howland, who'sketihed the history of the Sunday-school since its first organization by M r. and Mrs. B rad ley In an old wheelwright shop 14 years ago.

Fo llow ing thede interesting exercises, camo D r. Stokes’ Tem ple meeting, w ith a gathering of saints who aro at Ocean Grove, to give their salutation to the new departure. “ New things,” the Doctor rem arked, “ were the order of tho day, uud suggested hymns relating to a new heart, and Scripture reading which unfolded the covenant o f sauctifyinggrace.” Rev, Bro. Brads offered prayer. • Bro . Hughes, Wlio had been recently in attendance at a holi­ness convention at Chicago, brought cheer­ing intelligence from that meeting iu re­gard to its unity, power und success. A sister of 00 years’ experience, ha iling from N ew B runsw ick , fired up the hearts of all present by h e r . enthusiasm for Jesus and fu l l salvation. Sho was converted under! Pitm an, and la “ a ll the Lo rd ’s .” • > .. “ T h is n e w liouBe,” sa id SiB ter D riffie ld , “ In v o lv e s n ew a n d h e a v ie r r e s p o n s ib il it ie s .

Sister LHhigore was charmed w ith tile news given by Bro . Hughes.- Moral hero­ism is born of entire consecratiofi. ' “ I belong to this band ; h a lle lu jah l”

Sister M ille r was proving tho all-suffi­ciency o f grace to keep one serene aud sweet tlirough life ’s difficulties, and Sister H ulse was led to contrast the beautiful building in which tlie crowds present were

fiermitted to worship God to-day, w ith the Ittlo rude bower covered: w ith brunches,

where the first meetings wero held at Ocean Grove. T h is brought out D r . Stokes in reminiscences of former days.. In regard to moral courage, B ro .Thom as said there was a time when, he liad fears und doubts, but having overcome through the blood of the Lam b, he let God save and keep him .

Brother Forgusou, Bister R a iney , Sister D ay, P . M . D ay, Mrs. H ughes and a num­ber of others kept up tlio burning tide of testimony until it was time to bring the meeting to a close.

W h ile the m eeting was In progress, the rum blings of distant thunder and increas Ing vividness of lightning, made a good many uneasy and they started up,to leave.* “ Better stay where you are,” said Bro.

Evans. “ I f you leave now you w ill catch tbo coining shower, w h ile those wlio re- h ia in w ill liave sunshinetogohom e. I t Is a lw ays, safo to be in church.” B u t the restive ones went arid caught it , w hile otliersenjoyed the soul-luspirlng hour.

“ Am en,” shouted the preachers nnd people, and w ith an earnest prayer by B fo . Thorn ley, tlie evening services wore brought to a close.

B y Herculean efforts, in tlie b listering heat, tlie ru lii was confined to these lim its , and a ll the large buildings opposite saved.

W e are sorry our “ sm all potatoes” of fun were so unpal­atable to our neighbors of K e y East, and wo beg to assure them that nothing could lie farther from our hearts than tlie jea l­ousy to w hich they ascribe our poor, offending little paragraph. Th e -truth is we admire. K e y East—its Avon In n , its magnificent distances, its forest solitudes, its tra iling arbutus, daisies and golden rod, everything about it, (excepting its name) and we th ink it has a grout fu tu re ; and we respect and admire the Summer School, and th ink i t tlie "greatest show on earth” in the philosophy line . T o both we heart­ily w is h abundant success, and we shall he glad to do a ll we can to promote thoir sev­eral Interests. There now, don’t ta lk of jealousy any moro.

' * • * *Secretary Davis, o f tlie Institute of

Christian Piiilosop liy , w ise ly considers our paragraph on the itinerant feature o f the Sum iner School a “ first-class notice,” arid understanding the value of an advertise­ment in T h e R e co rd , desires u s to “ keep It before the pubHc.“ B ro tlier Harrison, of the Key Note, regards the same para­graph os “ sm all potatoes;” ;and makes against us the ungallant charge of jealousy. In the w ide ly different treatment received from these estimable gentlemen, we ,clear­ly pemoive the effect on one hand .o f the cultivation of Christian philosophy, and rin tlie other, o f Its total neglect. How broad tlie contrast 1 I f D r. Deems and his learned associates are coming, out to do good, and not m erely to have a good time —if thoy mean business^ they w ill find in the editorial mind of tlio Key Note an ex­cellent field for their labors as teachers of p iiilosopliy. . , ;

*. ^ .v,' 'W e had the pleasure a short time ago to

note the fact tliat “ our venerable friend ,’’ Rev. D r. Stevenson, o f the Am erican T ract Society, was happily convalescing from a severe and nearly fatal illness. H e got out of Ids sick chamber the other day; and was so-elated : by that delightfu l c ir­cumstance, and so rejuvenated by the balmy breath of the Springtide, freshness and bloom\ and newness a ll around, tiiat he at once wrote to “ Arboleda” .a sprightly letter protesting against being called pen- erabie,, W e ll, we ure w illin g to concede that tlio good Doctor Is old only In wIb*. dom, and that h is heart, at loast, is young as w oll as k ind und true, and are heartily glad that, sitting , in .h is coxy, study, after the discomforts jpul auxieties of a pro-; tracted illness had passed away, looking out-upon the new-born beauty and love li­ness of the vernal ‘ wriods, and orchards, and gardens of h is qharming country home, ho felt lik e one who hud dicovored the fountain of perpetual youth and taken deep draughts of itscrystu l waters. Under such circumstances we th ink it would be excusable to.set up for a Spring chicken and make the .siveet n ir resound w ith a jub iluut crow . V’; :

M rs. M . E . S tu ll, of the Iv y House,M ain aveuuo, who liad ju st arrived for the sea­son, was overjoyed last Monday by an un­expected v is it from her son, R ev. George C . S tu ll, of Montanit. ■: I t seems but a short tim e since George was chased' w ith the bright boys o f Ocean Grove, hut now ho is u stalwart p ioueerjtluera iit iu tho bound­less West.

M r. N ixon Is w idely known as tlio editor of The Chicago Inter Ocean, one of tlie most outspoken and spirited dailies of the present ago. L ik e many other busy editors,- M r; N ixon overworked him self, and about s ix years ago found that h is health was gradually running down. H is business . associates and his fam ily felt that ho was In n perilous-condition, and urged him to take reste-gtving up, fo r while, a ll editor­ia l labor. H is natural ambition and his long habits of d iligent work , were against this. Declin ing the suggestion of a vaca­tion, lie kept at his desk. A t last,- after fighting for Borne months w ith the condi­tion of h is system w hich was gradually undermining ids vita lity , M r. N ixon con­cluded to take a few weoks' of rest. Of that rest und of what followed it we w ill let him tell, in ids own words, as commu­nicated to one of our correspondents, who recently visited h im at Ids editorial rooms in CJdcago.

M r. N ixon, who now appears in the prim e of life , und Ir i the fu ll vigor of bodily and mental v ita lity , said, substan­t ia lly ; “ I t was in February, 1878, that I took a sovero cold. M y system hud be­come much worked down, and, driven w itli constant editorial duty, I had neglect­ed It. A fte r long consideration I con­cluded to take needed rust I wont to F lo rid a and Culm for a fow” weeks* . On tlio way I had several Jieinorruges from tho lungs. I was quite sick nnd returned in no bettor condition than boforo. M y w ife was much alarmed about me. The physician wlio attended mo on m y return gave me inhuIationB, tonics, alteratives and p il ls ; aftor taking w h ich , for about two weeks, I was weaker. I kept at m y w ork, which whs exacting. B y September m y state had become c r it ic a l.: I lost flcsli and suffered from a severe soreness in tlio upper part of m y right lung. M y w ife ’s sister, who was in Boston, wrote about a trentment which was novel to me—Com­pound Oxygon; A relative of hers who liad been in such poor health tliat lie liad been compelled to spend several w inters in F lo rida , had been restored by th is Com­pound Oxygen to such au extent tliat ho waa able to endure the clim ate o f Boston in winter.. Th e J ittlo book Issuok by Star- key & Paieu on Oompouud Oxygen was sent mo, and after reading i t I .concluded tlmt even if tlio ir method, of treating my ailments could do me no good, there was reason to suppose that it would do me no harm.

“ I procured a ‘Homo Treatment’ from tho office of-Messrs. S tarkey & Palen, in Philadelphia, determining to give it a fu ir tria l, and abide tho result. *o r four or five mouths I took tlio inhalations at regu-. la r Intervals, tw ice a day ; continuing m y work steadily. A t first no marked effect was observed; in fivct, not until three or four weeks. Then I began to feol that it was doing me good. I found that when I was exposed to tlio cold, and to ch illin g drafts, toy powor of resistance was fur greater than it had been. Tfioro was no exhilaration, hut thoro was a constant in ­crease of BtrengtUX I still coughed con­siderably, and in fact, did so for sopio months. T lio soro spot on my righ t lung gave me much annoy unco. I rubbed m y chest with various linuments, and I worou chest-protcctor. B u t gradually tho sore­ness wentaway, as the liiug gained strength.' And the cough, w hich hud ho long clung ti) me, at lust went-off in .a u unexpected manner. One o f . the liust coughiug spells I Jmd was almost ns severe und extended as any I hud ever.experienced. I t soemeil to ho the going out of the cough habit. There was probably- some extraneous mat­ter lu tho w ay, und tliis severe spell of coughing got rid of it.

“ I gained llosh very slow ly, hut grad* u iilly cumo back to m y orig inal .weight, und now weigh more than before triy 111: ness. I am more able to resist cold, and, though I now tako cold occasionally, I am fu f less subject to it tlmn I was of old. My digestion w hich ..was, o f course, die. ordered, is now all that I can desire, and I am ablo to do my customary work w ith­out ineouvouicmn^ or serious fatigue. I havo novor giveii a testimonial to any patent medicine, and I would not; but I do not couslder Starkoy & Pulon’s Com­pound Oxygen a patent medicine. I t is a v ita lizer and a restorer, and to It I owe m y lifo .”

“ M r. N ixon , did you over take any otlior ‘Oxygen Treatment* than tliat of Messrs, Starkoy *& Palen?” • • . „

“ N o ; I had uo use for any othor. T h is served tlie purpose perfectly , und did oven more tlmn I could have expected o f it .”

“ Do you over have occasion to return to tlie use of the Compound Oxygen T reat­ment since your restoration to health?”

“ O n ly occasionally; for instance, i f I have been exposed, and have taken cold. But I keep a ‘Home Treatment’ , in m v fam ily , for wo set a ’high value on Its bili- clency in cases of need, und several of m y friends have found the advantage of it. Yo u may put mo on record as being a hearty and thorough believer in it.” ; • -

M r. N ixou ’s case is not a. peculiar ono. ThouBands have.been benefited bv the use of Compound Oxygen/ Among those who have, experienced its wonderful curative' properties, are Judge F lauders, of Now Y o rk , Edward L , W U b o u , the popular lecturer and photographer, T . S. A rthur, the w e ll known author, and Judge K e lly , pf Philadelphia , M rs. M ary A , Livorm ore, , the omlne’nt lecturer, and mauy others equally prominent.’

I f Voq are interested to know what It has .clone for others, and what it cau do for. you, send to D rs. Starkoy & Pa len , 1109 G irard St., Ph iladelph ia, who w ill solid you free a treatise on this romurkublo vlt- a lizer—its discovery, nature, action and cures. ■ ~

It comprises over three hundred ncrcs of land, two-thirds o f which aro groves, uud tho rem ainder beach land. The whole plot Ib now laid out in grand avenncB from eighty to threo hundred feet wide. .

Every year, about six hundred of these a re erect­ed, und although th o season may bo. storm y—tlio w ind sometimes blowing alm ost a galo—yet but few havo ever been blown1 down, when properly p u t up.

Although wo havo oRon given tho history o f ARbury Park, tho placo la becoming bo well known through tho owners of cottages and the press th at wo arc often urgedto again give Its history in typo. Its success Ib almost m arvelous; Its growth os a sea-uld o resort bus been g rea te r tban an y bJmilar enterprise on tho Am erican continent. I t will bo noticed th a t a perm anent village has grown up, arlslug from tlio necessities of tho situation. 8omo, who a t ilrat spent only a few months in Summer, now livo here tho year round, as they have ail th e comforts o f tlio large towns th at are much nearer New York.

Wo tako pleasure in re-puhllshlug its history, ns given lit a previous num ber o f Tin-: Jm m sA i.by Mr. James A, Rrndley, th e original proprietor :

"O no 'a fte rnoon lu M ay,-1870, I was walking down Broadway, New York, and suddenly ran against my friend, David II. Brown, Esq., T reas­urer of thu Ocean Grovo rAssoeiatlon. ‘ How is Ocean Grove getting a lo n g T 1 asked. ‘ W ry fairly,’ said l ie ; ‘ why* d o n 't you buy a lo t? Those ss-fio havo their names put down cow luivo first choice.’ ■» ‘ Well, put me down for two,’ said I. A few days nfler, in rompnny with Rov. W. H. DeoJe and George NV. Cheese m an. of Birmingham, Con­nect leut, Rev. Mr Saxe and others, we slurlcd Tor Ocean Grove, W cto o k ;th e boat for Port Mon- m o n th ;th en ce by railroad to Kaum tm vn.. The Hoa-shoro route was opened a few days afterw ards. After dining at Mr. Brown's country house at Kutontown. wo drove toOeean Grove In carriages. Tho turnpike company had lust commenced alter­ations. and from (treat l’oml to Ocean Grove was ono or th e worst roads th a t could well be Imag­ined. I was completely taken with Ocenn Grovo and its surroundings—so lunch BO tliat I purchased th e llret lo t ever sold thoro, the prem ium being $85. .

“ Having for some limo previous been in Imd health , 1 concluded to try w hat I Imd been recom­mended—sea air. So, a few days after purchasing tho lots; tak ing two horses, c an luge and tent,’ and Jo jm Raker, my colored man, I left th e hum o f tho busy city behind to become an Inh ab itan t of tho wild woods, where my wearied body aud brain m ight rest, lulled to sleep hy the murmur- Ing sea a t night, nml Awakened in th e m orning by the songa of birds in tlio pi ue trees surrounding m y couch.

“John and I arrived a t Ocean Grove ju st a t n ight­fall, mid having got our horses under shelter, we hastened to erect our ten t. I t wasdoo d a rk to get poles, bo we hung tlio te n t on the beams o f w hat was afterw ards the Association Oiliee, the Jir.st building over erected In Ocean Grove. T he bu ild ­ing a t th a t time was w ithout roof. Wo wero w ith­out light, and Boon after lunching on some crack­ers wo lay down to sleep, our .heads resting on tho carriage cushions, anu o u t .covering being th e carriage blankots. . So wo Bpcnt our first n ight tn Ocean Grove..

•* in the m orning Baker s ighed and sa id :-'M r. B ,, this is a wilderness place, IIo was homesick; for, let th e reader, who perhaps lias.been ori the same spot during the busy sum m er season, and heard the continuous click of the telegraph instru ­m ent and seen the yost throng o f m en and maid-, cos call for; th e ir letters when the . nml I a rrives, rem ember it was tar dIlleront on tbo m orning of wbloh wo are writing * although it was tbo JOlb of June; not a soul w as w ith in hearing distance of ua. I cheered him by saying!-‘Oh I d o n 't bo cast down,* and soon wo were eatiug our morning lunch. T hat llnlshed wo proceeded to my lots on tho lake, und pitched o u r small teu to n the ground now b u ilt upon aud owned by Kev, A lfred Cook- mnil’s widow. Jjy large len t was erected on the Utt now owned by Wm.'P. B reck, Esq , and so we began our-GruHoc life. During thu day weocca- aloually saw Mr. Emu kiln’s m en, w ho worked about tlie grmmda, utirt ‘at n ig h t w o .were left to oursoiitudo. Mr; F ruukliu’s men tented on. the lots now. covered by th e Hayward cottages, but on Sundays went to their homes in tho in terior of th e township, . . .; “ One evening Baker a n d 11 took a stroll along the ocean and 1 proposed a bath, linker sihiled uud said * No, no.’ . * But remumbor, John , clean- Huess Ib nex t to godliness/ I took an ocean bath; but, oh, how dlftbrent from (he way bathers usuady enjov the surf,- the waves dashing, over their heads. I laid dolvn on the soft sand and allowed tho w ater to hist touch my body, ami I can tellnu wui»i jny douj, i«iu l a nyou, render, Itlssom ew hfttlonely io trust yourself in the- great ocean In the tw ilight au d aloiie. Alter I had been lying on tho beaeli for a little while I looked around to Bee w hat Imd become of Baker. Ho had piticked upcouraga.by my exam ­ple and Imd really divested himself o fh isclo thes, and, coward lik e myself, barely allowed th e walcr to touChed'hfm. Ilia dusky skin was somewhat In1 contrast w ith tlio. w h ite 'san il, and tlie whole scene forcibly reminded mo o f Robinson Crusoe aud his m an Friday.

" D uring th e eamp-nicetiiig th at took place In August we often hcard 'tho Inquiry, ‘ Who owns tlie Jand on tlio o ther side o f Die )«kc?‘ . One day Rov, Wm. B. Osborn and m yself w ent o v e r, and a t tbe risk or having onr clothes torji from our bodies, worked our way through the briars until we reached Sunset l4ike. And/ like the red m an o f w hom wc read In history, we eouitf say 'A la­bam a—here we rest;’ for we blood-on the banks of us beautiful a sheet o f n n te r as can be found anywhere. We returned to the Grove by way of tho beach, ami soon set. to work to m ake u p a’ company to purchase tho land. Wc soon learned tho ow ner would not sell thu laud in parcels, hut tho purchaser must lake (lie whole o r none.- Here was a dilllcu lty ; flvc h u n d red • a c re s !

But 1 often thought o f the. m atter, and 'as soon us I heard that Bishop Hliiii«on, o f the^ M. E. Church, urged tho Ocean Grove Association to tmrchase it, to prevent JU falling in to the Jiands or,so iue one who was not in sympathy with the enterprise they had In th eir bands, 1 called on David II.'
