The blessed Elim of our heavenly rest.

[ lvxlfaets from Or. Stokes’ .Sermon. |

!From -Marali to Elim. • '

From tlie earliest dawtiings of reason humanity is hopeful—hopeful in its puhmits of pleasure. Though.it drinks of the waters of earth a thousand times,.

' and finds them hitler, yet it drinks on, fond|y hoping that the next sip will he sweet and .satisfactory. Hopeful in its business efforts, though this cherished schem e lias failed, and that man has proved. treachererous, and this institu­tion has defrmidyd, and men are bank­rupt, yet they rise frOm tho ruins that environ them and launch their: craft u pon'som e other waters, whose tide they hope will bear them on to comfort if not to fortune. Hopeful in its schem es of ambition, though thousands have fallen aiid perished before they readied the hill of lame. Others crowd on and hope to be ,among the favored few-who shall reach its dizzy height at last..

W hatever the schem e which hum an­ity proposes that schem e is planned and pushed forward for months, for years, for life, in the fondest hope of ultimate success. Man hopes 011, hopes ever.

“ I f it were not for hope the heart would break:” Unrenewed humanity, however, legitimately hopes for.nothing beyond tlie graye. Jordan bounds its prospects. Death says defiantly to all human plans and purposes, “ Thus far, but ho farther.”

Why then is the religious life so often despondent? Is liope excluded froin the ChristianSystem? Xo! It.is one of

the brightest and most blessed elements.W hy then, we repeat, is the Church

of God and tlie seeker after God so often .almost in despair ? Because God never appears for the relief of his people until they are fully convinced that they can­not help themselves, and to bring them to tfiis coiiciousness of self helplessness

.is to reduce them almost to despair. According to all Bible and religious history, however, a deep and utter sense of human helplessness and divine, inter­positions stand in c lo se connexion. H ence the, proverbial sentiment, fam il­iar to all, “ The darkest hour is just be­fore day.”

It was so with Israel in Egypt. * They could endure 110 longer. All hope of linm ah aid had expired,. Then God came in. It was so at the Red Sea, All hope o f escape from their peculiar and perilous position Was absolutely cut off'. Then God wrought a stupenduous mir­acle. It was so at the waters.of Marah. A loud, long and fearful wail of. disap­pointm ent was heard, when, just ready to expire with thirst, they came to the waters, but, alas, bitter, bitter, bitter. They were worse than none. Then God showed unto Moses a tree.of healing. Then cam e the wilderness again,.still the distance from Marah to E lim ’s de­lightful .shade of palms, and sweet waters was only ten miles, a light day’s inarch even for so great a multitude. So from joy to sorrow ; from despair, to, hope ; from Marali to Elim, is but a short distance when God undertakes for us. How bright the dawning of. hope after a night of sorrow. How beautiful is Elim after the wilderness.march. So it is always—

"S o t first.the glad and then,the sorrowful,But first the sorrowful aiid then the glad.

Tears for a day, for earth of tears is full,Then we forget tha t ever wc were sad.

Sot tirst the bright and after tliat the dark,Ilut first the dark and alter that the lig h t

First the thick cloud and then the rainbow’s are; First the dark grave; then resurrection light.”

The Desert Journey.

That Elim encam pm ent of old is a type of tlie ease a nd rest which -iii the wilderness of life is coveted by all.

We, in this' age and country, can hardly conceive of the beauty and blessedness of Elim to those who were traveling through tlie dry and dusty desert. In order to a just conception of it we should, as far as possible, place ourselves where the Israelites were, in the midst of the Arabian wilderness, oftentimes notliing to be.seen but sand. Sand hot as burning embers beneath their feet, blazing like fiery sparks be­fore their eyes, drifting by them, in great clouds, blinding, • soffocating, overpowering, maddening. Sand aiid

sun, sun and sand, until the eyes, weary with looking, and the heart, sick of its woe, bows down to die Then Elim, like an island of flowers in a waste and dreary sea, rises before the heart-sick people. W hat .a place! Never did grass seem so. green. Never did pal ins Seem so lordly, nor waters half so bright or sweet. Here all rest ; and yet de­lightful as Wv0 the scene, there were even among this turbulent people de­vout old saints who doubtless sang;

‘.‘This is not our final resting,. Ours a e itv yet to com e; .

Onward to it let us lmsten.On to our eternal home.”

But We in this age and couhtryhave each a fancied Elim of our own. It is in the distance. We see the tops of its. waving palm trees, but between it and us is the hot desert.

A Better Inheritance.

In his sermon at -the opening of St. Paul’s. Church, Ocean Grove, last Sab­bath, Rev. E! H . Stokes, D. -D., dwell­ing 011 the transitory joys of,earth said :

. The Elim • encampment, however de­lightful, is not of lung continuance, but m ainly to qualify 11s . lbr otir future journey to the land of. eternal rest. Is­rael had a pleasant encam pm ent at Elim , but not h»uj.

No earthly good is permanent, and, therefore, must not be trusted in as the soul’s: supreme need. Every,-earthly Elim is brief: A ll things, perish.

•' Look around thee, see decay O n her wings of darkness sweoping Earth’s proud monuments away;

See the .muse of history weeping O’er the ruin time has made;Strength in dust, and iishcs liiid;

Beauty in oblivion sleeping.’’

Our great, mo.11 die. T he W ashing­ton's o fth e nation and the W esley’s of the Church, all die. Death enters our Elim ’s and makes them desolate. Many a household Elim is in in burning. Our earthly homes, however sacred, refined,, and beautiful, are invaded. The song of joy is hushed and the wail of woe is in its stead.

Even our religious privileges, 0111 Sabbaths, our ordinances, anti the Scrip­tures, blessed as they are, sweet E lim ’s where we gain a transient rest, tire hot our .ultimate- repose. . The God of all these is the only true Elim . In him, and not in them our souls may resit.

There is a superior and there is a subordinate love. Religious comforts, our Elim blessings, must be subordinate, while the God who gives them all. must he supreme. -

But there is another Eliiii, an eternal encampment. W ill you be satisfied with the earthly, fading, passing, dying,

dead?.. N o! 110! Tlie eternal palms are waving in the cloudless sky. Mul­titudes of eternal E lim ’s send forth their crystal waters to gladden the God-lit city. I see them encamped; 011 the plains of bliss. M a n y of niy best friends are there. •; '

0 blessed.spot: The encam pm ent never breaks up. The people do not die. I want to lu1 with them —-the last battle.fought, the last victory woi'i! I cannot encamp much longer bore. My brighter E lim ’s fail. A worm knaws niy palm tree'. The droughts- o fvafflic­tion dry my wells of comfort. Shall we be Satisfied with the fading while the eternal invites?

May this new and beautiful Church be an Elim to all oursonls, and through it may we enter into that upper and eternal Elini, where the glory knows no decay, and from which the enoamp- m ent moves never more /

The Centennial Pyramid.

W e are conducted by the angel of the period, out among the centuries! We see their broad base and lofty apiNCj and even read the record of. events deeply, written thereon by tho pen of time, while beneath them sleeps the honored, heroic, and immortal; dead.; There we behold the W esleyan Centennial pyra­mid, where repose the Wesleys, and their coadjutors; next that of our Amer­ican.Methodism, ’neath .which sleeps a holy succession of episcopates from As­bury to the. last who fell with armor 011 within the period And here that of otir great anti’ free America, on the grand landscape of our political years, the Bible.is its base, liberty crowns its summit, the eagle sheltering it with his wings, his keen eye peering into tlie. opening future^ • while' religion keeps her altar tires burning a ll around, and inquisitive nations com e to read her: chronicles.

Amid the general joy let us rever­ently await the providential rulings .of the hour, and the world’s decision as to America, her government and her’ religion ; together with her progress in the industries,.science, art, and agricul­ture; believing thiit it will afiirm the assumption that our nation illustrates the divine idea of human government, and gives assurance of the stability and progress of liberty and'religion .—Dr 0.H. .Wiitecar's Centennial Sermon.

. Ocean Grove. :BY A JUVBSILK VISITOR.

. Here the grand old occan dashes On the sandy, trackless shore;

Here untiringly we listen To the waves’ increasing roar.

Here we gaze in silent wonder •V\. : O’er the ocean's.broad expanse;

Where the s.ilv’ry sea-spray sparkles, And the wavelets gleam and dance.

Here upon the lake's still bosom, Swiftly glide tije boats along,

' • . V And across the shining watere, . / ..Floats the sound of joyful song. : V

Here the whisp'ring pine-trees softly.Wave theic branches to and fro ;

Chanting iii the quiet twilight, Mellow'd music, soft and low.

Here all things are calm and peaceful, ’ Ruled alone by kindly love;

.'W here we-’spend ouj- happy summers. At our own dear Ocean Grove.

From Mexico.I; .— ;-----

A bond of Sympathy exists.- between* Ocean (.jrove and the Christian .mission field, through Dr. Butler aiid his bo-, loved family, who are laboring in: Mex­ico. The letter we published som e time back, from Mrs. Butler, awakened niuch

--. interest, and thq following from Dr. Butler’s daughter, addressed lb Mrs.- Higley, of Brooklyn, N. Y., will he read with pleasure.. It is dated City, of Mex­ico, March 28, 1.S70 :

. Since I wrote you last a Revolution, or •<prohunc|amentO,” (as it called here,) has-broken out. It is causing

; ' -much trouble and suffering, but as it is. merely a political allair it will not seri­ously interfere with our work, nor do

. we apprehend any personal danger.However, we cannot tell what its issue

; may be. It.m ay effect an entire change iii the affairs of the country; and whether

. favorable or not to Protestantism we cannot know. W e hope the Church will do more for Mexico after'this than ever before. Our appropriations for next year ought to be ’double, nay, triple, Wliat they are. this year. There are new; fields and new opportunities open to us for which, positively, we have not the funds. W e have plenty of the first, but, oh, that :\ve"could have more of the latter !

Brother and Sister Craven have en- :■ tered their field, Guanajuato. This week

two nati ve preachers have gone to him, and wc expect soon to hear of-' the ,es-; tablishing of a true Christian worship in that city. The Bishop of that region, upon the arrival of the Protestants : in his domains, issued an edict-, warning

; the. people not to have anything to do with the wicked Protestants; : tell ing them to burn all their tracts, and not be.contaminated by them. H e goes on

■ accusing us of makingstatements which we never thought of, m ak in g .- For in­stance, he says Aye, blaspheme 'J th e . mother o f God, spit 011 her most sacred image, that we trample their Church under our feet and insult her. H e says, also, and bitterly laments the fact, that we deny to the Virgin the title of Mother o f God, that we do not recog­nize the real presence of Christ in the H oly Eucharist, that we reject the tra­dition, the . doctrine of Purgatory, the dogmas o f the H oly Mass, the inyoca-

. tion o f saints, and sp on. . H e makes a ' terrible wail over tlie fact that the ru­

lers Of the state have become so rene­gade as to allQw this lamentable “ relig-' iou3 indifferentism ” to take - root in their hitherto wholly Catholic country, and calls on all thebeloved and faithful to weep ovfer this sad circumstance, and to pray earnestly .to God for the conver­sion of the erring o n es! 1 ;

The people, of course, became excited and zealous, and formed a mob which attacked the house of Bro. Craven, with the intention Of murdering him and his wife, but happily the polico interfered before any harm was done beyond' throwing stones.

The Governor of the State, Senor An- tillon, however, has promised them the fullest protection of the law. They are not discouraged. They have gone to Guanajuato to stay and work for the Lord. X-'1--' •

We have another missionary and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Siberts, staying with us at present, preparatory to going to their station, Iueietaro. They will probably start next week,-accompanied by two native men. W e had a grand “ fare­well ” ;for theih last Sunday night, v

Oh, if you’could have been present, I am sure you would have; been rejoiced. It Was the first missionary m eeting held

.in .tliis country. We had a large, and attentive congregation of Mexicans, 350 in number. The meeting was com­menced by a song of praise to tlie Trin­ity, followed by a prayer from Senor Unzucta ; singing, “ Nearer my God to Thee;” Then reading of the Scriptures; singing, “ H ow sweet the nam e of Jesus sounds.” Tben came addresses from

■Rev. Mr. Siberfs, the four native m is­sionaries and Rev. John Butler.

The statistics of the work for tlir.ee years done by the M. E; Church were given and listened to with great interest. The m eeting closed by singing, “ I put my trust;in Jesus, H eshed his blood for jnej” and the benediction^prOnounced by father. It was a grand su ccess..

An American gentleman, who was present, a friend of our- good Bishop Simpson, said at the close of the service, “ O h,how I wish Bishop Simpson could have'seen this, I think he would have cried.” Yes, I wish he could have been here,.and I wish all our Church could ha.ye witnessed that “ farewell.” It was a beautiful sight. . v . . !

W e would-tell the Church that if she. would send us still more men we have plenty of occupation for them all in this vineyard.

I wish you could have seen our orphan girls that evening. They looked so bright, and happy, and sang so sweetly. W hat hopes are centered in these in- nOcent little ones ! Our Orphanage is one of the m ost successful and promis­ing features'of the work in tliis land. A Mexican' gentleman, visiting brother John the other day, told him that lie considered the work of training these• girls in the Christian faith one of the noblest and most promising means of working among this people. This gen­tleman requested, as .a favor, that lie m ight be allowed to come som e day to visit the Orphanage, arid ge,t a better idea of - this Christian training school, l i e also promised to .give the public a description of it, and his views on the subject. This, of course, will be acceded him 'very pleasurably.

Your little •protege Georgie Lillagore, is as cunning and sweet as ever. She is the pet of all, and promises to be a fine girl. I said to her just now, “ Georgie,I am writing to those good ladies who send the m oney for you—what shall I" tell, them for you?” “ Oh,” she said, “ Las manifo mucho amoe y abrazos." (“ I send them much love and kisses.’’) :

D o y o u have to pay anything at Sunday-school ?” said a lady, hostile to the institution , to a little girL She hes­itated a m om ent and then sa id : “ Yes, we do.” “ W hat is it?” said the lady, thinking she liad found a fault. The child replied, “ We mtist pay attention.”

The Household Altar.In the olden tim e the father of the

household was its prophet and priest. The father o f the present fast age can hardly find tim e to m ake the acquaint­ance of his own children, to say noth­ing o f decent and devout attention to

; the proprieties and sanctities o f family worship. ' _

It is a sad fact that, in m any house­holds, nominally Christian, there is no family altar and no household rocogni-, ti'oil of God. The Bible is an unopened . book, and there is no open acknowledg­ment of allegiance to God, the Father in heaven. A godless, praycrless household is a terrible spectacle; es­pecially where there are yoting chil­dren. W hat can com pensate for tlie

. sweet arid tender iniiuencesof well-con­ducted family worship on th e •• minds', and hearts o f the little ones ? Parents who om it it not only provoke the wrath of the Lord,'but neglect the best and most natural means of religious educa­tion, and thus put in fearful jeopardy the souls of tlieir children. It was not an idle superstition that bade the sim- ple-rainded, devout Norwegian girl to. flee from the house where slie had en­gaged service, because there were no “ prayers in the house',” A prayorless

-soul ii? a fearful anomaly. But a hom e where children are. born and nurtured and reared, whereloved o.n<?s sicken and .suffer and die, where,'in the eyes of the children, the father should be the type of the “ All Father in H eaven,” and the mother the ideal o f all • that is tender and.affectionate and- devout, where all precious memories should be garnered by hidden treasures, and. where all holy and pure influences 'anti associations should , pervade the very air—with no open Bible and no voice of song, prayer or praise—what shall we say of that home ? One can hardly, conceive it possible that such a hom e .could exist in" a Christian land. No wonder that the curse o f the Lord hangs in a dark

•cloud over the families that call not on his name.

W e allude.to family worship as a re­ligious educator. One can hardly over­estim ate the power Of this service over young hearts, if wisely and earnestly conducted. ... V •

A daughter of irreligious parents spent, not long since, a few months in a Christian, home. Selected passages- of ■Scripture,-.usually the reading connected with the. current Sabbath;.school lesson, were read, each member taking a verse in course. Not, seldom there was some familiar talk and com m ent on the pas­sage and the Sabbath lesson. • Then a lesson. Then a song, and then all bowed iir brief and Simple;thanksgiving, and prayer for daily protection. This gay. young girl soon found the God thus honored and worshiped in this house to. be her. God and Saviour. Not long after, another daughter, gay , cultured and highly educated,: spent a-few weeks in this humble home. 'She, too,.was sweetly woi.v tp the religion so magnified in the. house in which she was a guest. Going to her owii home, she preached Christ to her mother, and now all three are rejoicing in tlie Lord/ These girls attributed their conversions-to tlie in­direct yet powerful, appeal that day by day came to their hearts and consciences from these sim ple ordinary services of family religion.

W e fear that pastors and church offi­cers are not watchful and faithful in th e . overeight of the Church, touching this

•matter, especially in the case of young peaple ju s t”setting up their homes.

H abits-of neglect once formed are not '* easily overcome. Starting right at the outset is often a guarantee of life-long fidelity. Let the voice of the preacher and'the Christian teacher be lifted up with no uncertain sound on this subject. W e need nothing so much as consecra­ted homes.

The Child who Loved Her Bible.The writer of this m em oir lived in

the city of Dublin, Ireland, where she wtis blessed with four children, Fannie, Elim , William,: and Gilbert. Eliza is

• the one I would introduce to my young readers ns the child who loved her Bible. .She was born September 24, 1818. From her birth to her death she was verv delicate, and at the tender-age of nine months, to all appearance, the Lord was about to take her to him self; but, for his own wise purpose, he spared her a listle longer, that his word m ight be verified in her, that “ out of the mouths of babes and sucklings he hath- ordained praise.”

She was by nature blessed with a sweet temper and delightful v o ice ; and such was her ear for music, that if she heard a tune in the church or street once, she would sing it for her nurse when she came home. She woke with the lark to sing the praises of her heav­enly Father;, and her. sweet song seldom ceased. In the evening, when expect­ing her pa home, she would frequently get under the parlor table and sing as

. lie would .enter;- u Kao guije luck abou’ the house, line gude luck

at a ';Nac gude luck kbou' tlie house, sin’ my glide

nion's awn’.”

This would arrest her pa’s attention,which would greatly delight her. Onone of those occasions she asked m e tosing. I told her I never sung songs.

“ W hy, mamma, is it a sin? does the . Bible say so ?” .

“ Yes, m y delay I believe it is a sin to sing idle songs; the Bible says : “ If yon be merry, sing psalms.

“ W ho said that, mamma?”“ My dear, St. Janies says so in the

'fifth chapter and thirteenth verse of his ep istle; and the apostle Paul says wc must ‘sing hymn's and spiritual songs, m aking, melody in our hearts to the- Lord.’”

“ W ell, m am m a,” said she, “ indeed I will not sing another song.” .

The next day she came to me . andasked if it would be any harm to singthe tune o f “ Nae gude luck” to those

. verses that were on a card her father.' had given lior a few days before, I will

insert the lines for-th e benefit of ouryoung readers:

“ Sister, take this pretty flower,And tell me how it grows; '

W ho made the pretty jessamine,A nd yonder-blushing rose?”

“ ’Tis God, my love, I've often h eard ;I th ink lie’s Very good

To take such eare of you and me,And give us constant food.” .

“ And is it God who does all this,And-makes us hear and t ee,

And walks about this pretty world,And gives such life to me?"

“ 'Tis only God can give you Jife Indeed, I know it's so ;

I asked m am m a;-she told me so • Not m any days.ago.” '

. "W ell, sure she always tells tlie truth; v . And says th a t wo m ust too..

Or else we will not go to God • , And sing as angels, do.”

" Well, dear, -,ve’U go and play, I th in k ;Another time we’ll ta lk ; •

IAvant to set this pretty flower. ■In yonder shady walk.” ■ ■ •

>4. - ' : ■ ■ ■ ' ■

I never saw her so much delighted as when I told her she m ight use the tune to these w ords; she clapped her hands, her little black eyes sparkled with joy, and-she tan. off* to tell the m aid in the nursery what she had accomplished At this time she was three years and six months old.

Being engaged in extensive business which required all niy attention, I could not devote m uch of my tim e to the ed­ucation of. m y children; ' and at the early age of three years we sent her, with lier sisters, to a school in charge of a pious woman, a member o f the Meth­odist society, who had tlie Scriptures read to her pupils every week. Such was Eliza’s desire to read the Bible that in six months she could' read a chapter with great accuracy. It was one o f my ' rules to have the.children read a chap­ter every evening, particularly the chapter intended for exam ination on .the following Sabbath ; and as each read a verse alternately, Eliza would rarely pass over her verse without some inquiry relative,to its import, so that frequently one hour or more was ex­pended before the chapter was conclu­ded. One evening we were engaged at Scripture questions for children, and Eliza’s question was;

“ W hen shall a child pray ?”She r e p l ie d ,A t morning; noon, and

night will I pray and cry aloud, and the Lord shall hear.” Then stopping short, she said, “ Morning, noon, and night. Mamma, when is noon?”

I said, “ It is in the middle of the day, dear.”

“ I don’t pray at noon, m am m a; do you pray at noon?” :

“ Yes,.dear, I do.”“. Y ou never told me to pray at noon,

mam m a.”“ No, dear, because you are a t school

at that tim e.” V.- " Then when I come, from school,”

said she, “ I can say m y noonday pray­ers.” ,

A . few days after this I was going up to the drawing-room when I m et Eliza coming out of my chamber, her face beaming .with delight. She came to me, saying,

“ 0 , mamma, you don’t know what I was doing!”

“ No, my dear, I do not. I suppose you were fixing your hair.” I thought- it was so,, as slie was twisting her hair with her hand as she came out. of the room. . She replied,

“ 0 , tnanima, I was saying my noon­day prayers !”

I took her up .and kissed her, and blessed God for such grace. I asked her if she had had dinner,

“ No, mamma, -it is .time enough,”-, said she as she bounded like a deer to seek the servant, iii quest of her din- nes. I seldom knew her to om it this duty. - /'

A lew'evenings after. this, while en­gaged at our evening lesson, Eliza was reading her verse—“ The wicked shall

..be.turned into hell, with all the nations that forget God,” when she jum ped up on her chair, clapped her little hands, and exclaim ed:

“ 0 , m am ma, I don’t forget him, at all events, for I said m y prayers four times yesterday.”

Thus Eliza grew in favor with .God and man. , .

A few evenings after this we .Were' reading the fifth chapter ofiSt. M atthew’s ’ G ospel; it was with difficulty I could persuade her to cease, she was so de­lighted. The next day, when she came from school, she looked very sad.

“ W hat ia the matter, Eliza?” I said

as I entered the parlor.She replied, “ 0 , mamma, I am fright­

ened!” '"-.j-.“ Tell me, dear,”-said I, “ what is it,”“ Mrs. B ay called one little girl 'a

fool,'and I am afraid she will go to h ell!” -

“ Did you tell her iso, dear?”“ No, mamma, I was afraid of a, crack.

Maybe, mamma, she did not read it; and if I hear her say it again I will tell her I read it in my. Bible. I am sure slie will not be angry with m e then, mamma.”

“ N o ,m y dear, I know she will not; now, dear, go get your din ner.”

.“ Yes, mamma, I Avill when I have said my noonday players.”

Eliza was a member of the Sunday- school connected with the Methodist society in Whitefriar street, about one square from bur. house.. The preachers, the Rev. Samuel W ood,superintendent,' and the Rev. W m. Richey, junior preacher, took great interest , in the school. She accompanied her sister Fannie every Sunday with delight. When Saturday came .she would say to me,

Ma, I'm ust prepare for Sunday.”She would collect her toys and put

them in a closet assigned to her for that purpose; she would not so much as handle a plaything on the Lord's day.

Tlie Rev. Mi'- Wood preached a ser­mon on the first Sunday in every month to the Sabbath-school. This produced a' very - salutary " cfiect on the young. Mr. Wood was a large, handsome man, with a very affectionate disposition; and'I have often heard him say he never felt more happy than when he would be preaching about the. love of the Saviour-to little children. H e would assemble all the children in the centre pews of the meeting-house, they hav­ing been reserved for that purpose. Theyoungest occupied the-frontbenqhes “ because,” he would remark,“ I want all my little darlings near myself.”

H e commenced with singing and prayer, singing again, and then gave out the text- During the sermon lie

•would frequently stop and'ask, perhaps the smallest children, “ Can that little darling tell n-ic the text? or this rosy- cheeked bov atrny right?” In this w ay . he'won tlie affections of the children, and impressed the truth as it is in Jesus on their young hearts. 1

Eliza was one of these little ones. One Sunday I said if slie brought m e home, the text, as 1 could not go to-day, I would give Iver a half-penny for the missionary box. W hen she. returned I inquired if she remembered the text:• “ 0 yes, mam ma,” she replied; “ ‘ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back,

I asked, “ W ho is the fooi?”“ The naughty child is the fool,, m am ­

ma, and I won’t be a naughty child. You won’t -have to whip me. The Bible says, ■ The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.’ N ow ,m am m a give m e m y half-penny for m y box, if you please.” • "

I gave her the reward with pleasure. W ith anxiety and joy she waited for tlie next sermon, and when the first Sabbath in the month arrived she. ac­companied her sister to the house of prayer. W hen she was leaving hom e she kissed me and said : .

“ Mamma, don’t forget your prom­ise.” ' - -,.'. •

I. assured her I would not. Oh lier return she came to me and sa id ;

“ 0 , mamma, what a nice text We had to-day.” ' *. - What is it!” I .asked. - -

And Samuel grew, and the Lord was w ith h im ;’ and Mr. W ood says he will be with us if we are good children. W on’t lie be with me mamma?”

I assured her that the Lord God of Samuel was with her.

W hen we were done speaking of that, she said:

“ Please give m e the half-penny for m y box.”

She was so happy that day she could do little else than sing that beautiful h y m n : -

" Salvation, 0 th e joyful so u n d !W hat pleasure to our ears;

A sov'reign balm for every wound,.A.cordial for our fears.

" Glory, honor, praise, and power De unto the Lamb forever;

Jesus.Christ is our Redeemer;Hallelujah, praise the L ord!” •

The Sunday-school commenced at ten in the morning, and closed at eleven o’clock, in time for the children to go to church at twelve.

W hen Eliza returned she looked for me, as was her usual custom, and said,.as she .entered the drawing-room where I was s ittin g :

.“ Are you going to church to-day, m am m a?”

“ No, d ear; your 'little brother is sick, and I will stay at hom e and, give him. some medicine that may do him good. You can go with father and sister Fan­nie.” ' " ■ •.

“ 0 , mamma, please let me stay hom e with you! My teacher wants m e to read,, in the Old Testament, the history of the Prophet Jonah.”

I complied with her request, but said

‘■Eliza; I think it will be too much for you.” „ -;

Ah no, mamma; I love to read the Bible.” '

When she-put away her bonnet she. placed a stool beside me, and sat down and read the history of. Jonah through. While, reading,', she stopped several times to ask questions, relative to the obedience, of the prophet, and she said; V .

“ Mamma, was not God very good to hear the prayer of Jonah while in the whale? I think, mamma, Jonah 'blight to have been very good.” ,

Eliza had great sym pathy for the poor. W hen .slie received a new frock she would frequently say : . .

“ 0 , mamma, let me give one.of my frocks to a poor child?” .

So with her shoes, if she had a second pair. She often brought a little bare­footed child to the door and begged me to give a pair to the poor child. I was always obliged to comply with her re­quest lost I should crush the Christian charity which was in little Eliza's heart.

W hen the Rev. .Samuel Steel, who was our preacher-in-charge died, the Rev. Samuel W ood cam e to the city to preach his funeral sermon. 'Eliza.had a great desire to go. She went at an early hour, with her maid and her sis­ter, to procure a seat in the front o fth e gallery. The funeral sermon niade a deep impression on her mind, and the prospect of heaven seemed to absorb every other thought. When she return ed home, she said : ,

“ Mamma, Mr Wood said Mr. Steel is now in heaven.”

I endeavored to explain to her while . his body was in the coffin his soul was in heaven. - , -

L e a v i n g the new Ocean Grove Church after service last Sabbath night, we made a requisition on our friend Mrs. Beegle for a poem on the subject go beautifully presented by Dr. Stokes, and nextpriKwytiijig before train-time, it was written and placed in our hands just as it appeal’s in type on the first page.

A l a r g e proportion of our readers in­terested in all that relates to Ocean Grove, could not be present at the open­ing, of the new church last Sabbath, and to such we send out a brief account of the services, with part of the appropri­ate sermon by Dr. Stokes, in this num ­ber of T h e , R e c o u p . It was a day of de­lightful re-union, and much spiritual enjoyment.

Of the closing scenes at the General Conference, we have not obtained a re

: port up to the hour of going to press. Wednesday; May 31st had been desig-. nated as the limit, and three sessions per day were held on Monday and Tuesday previous, so that the work of

, the several com m ittees m ight pass un­der review, and be. finally disposed of. As we intimated at the beginning, there will: be but little change in the existing order of things, so far as the working machinery of Methodism is concerned..

T he attitude of determined hostility Assumed by the Asbury Park Journal to those who are disposed to evade or vio­late the law by selling liquor in the vic­inity of the Park or Grove, has attrac­ted considerable attention, and met with the hearty approval of the Ocean Grove Association. A t their recent m eeting a preamble arid resolution was unanim ously passed, thanking James A. Bradley, Esq., for his fearless and faithful efforts to suppress this nuis­ance,.and pledging him the hearty sym ­pathy and support- of the Association, in the prosecution o f all offenders to the utm ost extent o f the law.

On the right, as you enter the Main Avenue gateway, o f Ocean Grove, a beautiful and commodious church edi­fice, com menced less thaii a year ago, how greets the eye of every visitor, its spire pointing heavenward, and its doors thrown open for divine worship.

Up to last Sabbath morning, religious- services have, been held regularly in Park H all, which Mr. J. A. Bradley, a few years ago crected for public accom­modation, as the nucleus of his new village. In that upper room, the gos­pel lias been statedly preached, Sabbath: school held, scores of sinners converted and a . thrifty church organization formed.' ■' .- ■ :

W ith the steady growth of the place, and in keeping with .the spirit of im ­provement prevailing, larger and.better facilities were demanded l'or tlie con­gregation, and the. present building, first projected by the Ocean Grove As­sociation, was taken in hand by a Board ' 'of Trustees, consisting of active and ea riiest men, residing in,'and represent­ing both the 1-ark and the Grove, the church, being located iii the,’most cen­tral aiid accessible-spot for a meeiing- place to suit the two communities. •

Ground was broken in July, iS7o: the coi'iicr-slone was laid by Bishop Scott later in the season, and the architect and builder,1 Col* A. H . Patterson,, al­though compelled to modify the origi­nal plan which included a church and chapel, has carried the work to a,suc­cessful issue,

The opening on last-Sabbath, was not intended to be a formal dedication, that, event being reserved for a future occa­sion, when the remaining debt shall be cleared off, and some articles of fur­nishing not yetin place, shall; have been provided.

A congregation of between four and live hundred people, presenting an ap­pearance of intelligence and respecta­bility quite up to the average of our best city churches, participated in tlie morning devotions, with the following ministers, who were seated on the plat­form : liev. -E. H . Stokes, D. D., presi­dent of the 0 . G. Association, and G. W. Evans, secretary, Rev. S Taquett, pres­ident of Board of Trustees, Rev. Geo, Hughes, late editor of Christian Stan­dard, Rev. E W ilson, pastor of St. Jam es’ M. E. Church, New Brunswick, N. J;, Rev, W. T . Abbott, resident pas­tor, Rev. II. B. Beegle, Superintendent of Ocean Grove, Rev. N. S. Spaulding, a Venerable m em ber of the New England Conference, now residing; permanently in tlie vicinity, arid A, W allace, of T h e R e c o r d . Am ong the prominent m em ­bers arid friends o f the enterprise, pres­ent, we also recognized James A. Brad­ley, Esq., of the Asbury Parle Journal, Charles E. Howland, of the Pitman H ouse, D. H . Wyckoff, S. Rogers, of New York, H olm es W. Murphy, of Freehold, N. J,, C. L. Howland, propri­etor o f the Howland House, G. C- Or­merod, Captain Street, Major Patterson, and many other residents and visitor*.

Tlhe singing was led by G. S. Dey, Esq., o f New York. Mr. Dey possesses a splendid voice, and sings with fine judgment and taste. H e rendered ex­cellent service, and was well sustained by the organist and members o f the St. Paul’s choir, all occupying the corner of the audience room on the left from the pulpit.

■The services were introduced by Rev; Mr. Abbott reading some appropriate and beautiful selections’. from the

Psalms of David. The liymii," From all tlm t dwell below the skies,

Let tbe Creator’s praise arise." &c.

was followed with prayer by Rev. G. Hughes, after which the sermon of the morning was delivered by Dr. Stokes, from that pleasant picturc of a resting place, found by the journeying Israel­ites of old, (Exodus 1 5 :2 7 ) at Elim, whore there were twelve wells of water,- and seventy palm trees, l i e showed by apprbpi’iate argument and illustration. that humanity needs', ’ and craves suita­ble rest and refreshment in the toilsome journey: . o f .life ; -that our Sabbath- days and .sanctuaries are /our E lim /p laces ; that the Scriptures furnish our wells of pure living water, and like the stately palm tree, the righteous shall flourish in the courts of the Lord.

l i e also deduced the lesson, that as tlie encam pm ent at Elim was but tem ­porary, so our earthly joys are fleeting. No place here below is fitted for our eternal repose. . To the higher and ho­lier plains of immortality wc aspire for perpetual bliss. A few choice extracts from tliis admirable discourse will be found printed elsewhere in this num­ber.

A t 2 o’clock p . M., the bell again sum ­m oned the people to join with the Sab- bath-school in a praise service. It was well attended, and conducted in a spir­ited and highly profitable mariner. The singing oi'the St. Paul’s Sabbath-school led by Mr. Willisford Dey, was worthy of special notice, Vocal training, we believe, is a part of the daily school.ex­ercises, under Mrs. G. W. Rogers, and her assistants, the Misses Coffin and Howland. This, with the agency of the Sabbath-school has more fully devel­oped the musical taste, and . now a rare degree of perfection has been at­tained in their singing.

Addresses were delivered by several of the ministers, and both the editors present. H e of the R e c o r d , took oc­casion to com plim ent the Journal on its recent stand, and valliant fight, for the welfare of the entire people, against in­sidious .enemies in the shape of rascally smugglers of intoxicating beer. Bro. Bradley responded in a touching and eloquent temperance talk, avowing his purpose, at whatever cost, to protect the young, and uphold virtue and law.

Hearing of a m eeting conducted, by the Young Men’s Christian Association at a later hour, in Park Hall, wc looked in and were delighted to find a goodly company present. In all the prayers offered, the Scripture passages ex­pounded, and experience related, a tone

.' of genuine piety prevailed.-O',"From the mom ent the leader opened the exercises until the m eeting closed there was not h alf a minute o f time lost. Promptness, direct remarks, and beautiful sim plicity characterized all the devotions of this profitable hour. '

A t evening time, another large audi­ence assembled in the new church. Lighted up with its am ple supply of lamps, the interior presented even a more attractive appearance than in the morning. Bro. Evans opened the ser­vices, and whatever lack there might have been of interest in the sermon, which was preached from Rev. 22: 1, by the editor of this paper, was made up by the charming solos sung by Mr. Dey, .the amiable manner in which‘Mr.D. II. W yckoff managed the collection, arid the closing up with “ Coronation,” heartily sung by the choir and congre­gation. . :

N o special effort was made to raise, funds, except an amount sufficient to purchase a new cabinet Organ for the

choir. The sum asked for was cheer­fully contributed, and this day of sweet and sacred fellowship ended with thanks­giving to God, and a night o f quietness and rest nowhere experienced more pro­foundly than at Ocean Grove.

Holiness Exemplified.W e are glad occasionally to turn

aside from dry disputations on points of theology, arid theories of doctrine, to find refreshment and-satisfaction for the soul, in the contemplation of a real re­ligious life. It is in the life and experi­ences of tlinse. who have been saved— completely saved, and sustained by a faith always victorious through the blood of the Lamb, that we have clearest confirmation o f the sublime realities of the kingdom of God ; such a life, for in­stance, . as that depicted in its beau­tiful simplicity, in a little book bearing the title, “ W alking withJesus.” In the compass of 192pages it gives, although in fragmentary form, the life, correspondence, and death of Mrs. Sarah Eames, a name previous in the m em ory of hundreds, who were privileged to take sweet coun­sel with her from the period of her con­version until the Master called herhence to enter into bis own joy.

To none could her sanctified charac­ter, be more evident than to the hus­band, whose own lifeAvas blessed arid ennobled by her devotion and love, and who, in this memorial of affection, aims to perpetuate the good her exam ple and testimony is',calculated to diffuse among those.who will appreciate such a type of Christian holiness. The book has passed through the press under the ju-. dicious oversight of Rev. S. H . Platt, A. M., is very neatly printed, and bound in flexible cloth Covers. It may be had at this office for the small sum of 40 cents per copy W e advise our friends to send for it. ■

In the getting up of such a com plica­ted piece of typography as the Minutes of a modern Annual Conference, we never knew a printer who cOuld sur­pass John A. Haddock, and this year he has surpassed him self in the neat­ness, taste, and perspicuity with which, under the direction of Secretary Mon­roe, he has done the work of the Cen­tral Pennsylvania Conference. An il­lum inated cover gives this publication quite an ornamental appearance, arid reminds us that this is the Centennial year. Anothei excellent job from the Haddock press is Rev. Jacob Todd’s Conference Centennial sermon. A bet­ter printed document it would he diffi­cult to find. Bro. Haddock’s office is still at 106 S. Eighth St.

T he Round Lake Journal, a large eight page sheet handsomely illustrated arid containing full descriptive sketches o f the charming locality it represents, with a beautiful map of the grounds, has been issued this year under the ed­itorial supervision of Rev. A. C. Rose. For.the copies sent to this office we re­turn thanks.

It has been ordered by the Associa­tion that each cottage be designated by the 'number of the lot on which it stands. This will greatly help inquirers to find the places and people thfiy are looking for.

LAST.year the num ber o f boarding­houses. in Ocean Grove was tw enty- eigh t; th is year th e nufaber is increas­ed to forty, w ith ( a^acity to entertain about 2,000 guests.

Live and Learn.The communication given below was

written by A .lla n k in so n , of Asbury Park, who is entirely deaf. H e is a religious young man, a member of the Young M en’s Christian A ssociation. of Ocean Grove,, and attends church. Although unable to hear a word, he closely studies the expression of the preacher’s face, or if at a prayer-meet­ing, makes his eyes interpret to his mind the character of the exercises and the language of the speakers. Mr. Bradley furnishes him with paper such ■ as is used in counting-rooms,, called “ blocks,” from which the leaves can be easily detached. W hat seems to have made such an impression on him is the fact that Mr. B. often takes tim e to converse with him on these blocks. As the two were sitting on the beach one Sunday afternoon lately, llank inson took up a handful of sand say ing, “ How wonderful to think o f the great number of grains in m y hand.” This suggested to Mr. B. the old illustration of the du­ration of eternity. . Suppose the entire earth were one mass of sand and once in a thousand years a bird should come from a distant shore and carry away in its beak a single grain, at. the end of another thousand years itsh ou ld coine again and bear away another igrairi, this whole world would be thus removed and m illions more just like it; and eternity

-----' --- iV i .. . 1 • --- ---

would be yet in its youth. 'Our deaf friend evidently had never;

met with this illustration beforeh and the expression of his face showed that the thought had taken root in his mind. Then it was written on his block, “ I f a sinner should be condemned to perdi­tion as long a period as it would take to remove the world grain by grain, and y e t should finally reach heaven, it will be glorious that he was ever born.”

Hankinson looked out upon the sea, and although lie could not hear the roaring breakers that were dashing just at his feet, he saw the upheaving waves, and, after som e mom ents of silence,- said, as he pointed to the water, “ I was thinking of Jesus walking on the sea.” Sight may perish ; hearing be destroyed, but .so long as God permits the heart to feel it is glorious to live. Yes, glorious to. live and learn that our hum ble friend, Hankinson, m ay m use bn the wonder­ful works and goodness of God, and look, forward to the time when we shall dwell in a land where all our faculties will be perfect, W e now introduce the le tter :

Mr . E d i t o r : — H ave the people of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove got ac­quainted w ith our kind and loving friend, Mr. Bradley ? I think most of them have got acquainted with him . and have found him to be both a friend and benefactor to them all, and a helper to make them happy. H e tries all in his power to m ake his village comfort­able, and himsel f accommodating to his fellpw-men, sympathizing with them all the time. •■ .

I wish you all to know that I have found said gentleman to bw a very kind friend to inc. I think him n. good and honorable m a n .' H e is not too proud to look after the comfort of others, and to promote the happiness of his poorer fellow-men.

I think there is not over one man in ft thousand that we would find more kind and sympathizing than Mr.B., H eoften has a talk with me, though, as I am deaf and cannot hear him speak, he is obliged to use his lead pencil for a tongue,which suits me better,and le a n understand . it better than his natural longue, A lm ost always he has som e­thing to say to ine when ever we meet, and.I can tell you that all lie writes is well worth reading. H e has often made ine feel very happy by t i l in g me a good many things which I could not know anything about if he had not had the kindness to explain them to me.

I am always glad to m eet and talk with him. I hope we may continue to be friends throughout our lives, and after our days on earth are ended we may be friends u n ited forever in heaven, ’ Blessed is the man that con- sidereth the poor, the Lord will uphold him in time o f trouble.”

Respectfully yours,A; H a n k i n s o n .

• The Temperance Cause.That temperance is the leading ques­

tion o f the day no observant mind.will fora moment doubt; but. we may talk about it, and preach and 'pray on the subject until we are tired, yet, until the churches awake to their duty, put their shoulder to the wheel, and vigorously push it forward, nothing substantial in the way of radical reform will be ac­complished. The great trouble and drawback seems to be .that some, per­haps too many, church members have themselves a partiality for toddy and other fancy drinks, and,possess n< moral power as exam ples in the com m unity.: In the conflict with the runs power they turn aside and fail'to face the music, vote their old party tickets, right or wrong, and leave all the responsibility to be borne by others.. W hat can we do in such a condition of things as this? W hat we should do as temperance men is to attend primary; elections, select good judges, inspectors and clerks, and

support no slippery candidate offered for our approval. That, I think, will be a beginning at the root o f the matter. W e never, can hope for success until we build on a solid foundation. H op­ing: some, o f our good temperance men will take this feature of the subject into consideration, and keep the ball rolling on until public sentim ent becomes thoroughly aroused, and all who pro­fess to be the friends of God and the right stand organized and' equipped for

' victory, I remain, &c., I. A. M i l e s .

corner o f Benson avenue ana Mt. Tabor W ay, occupies a fine elevated position, and will be finished in a few weeks.

A f u r n i s h e d preacher’s • cottage at Ocean Grove, large enough, to accom ­modate an ordinary family, located pleasantly overlooking Fletcher Lake and the ocean, will be rented for the season for $125.00. Further particulars given at this office.

S o m e of the best work, in the way of house painting done this season at Ocean Grove, has been by E. S. Thomas, a practical hand with the. brush. Those for whom he has painted cottages are well pleased with the manner in which .

.he has discharged his duty.Mrs. E. E. B o y d has bestowed a large

amount of taste and care in the fitting up of Terrace Cottage, so charmingly located on Ocean Pathway, as a first- class lodging house. E legant rooms , may now be engaged, and as there are restaurants near, many will prefer this niodc of living during tlieir summer so­journ at. Ocean Grove.

W i t h a new shop, new. wagon, fast team, and lively attention t<j> business, our friend McCabe is determined to please-the people this year, in regard ■ to variety, quality, and prices for all idnds.of meat at Ocean Grove, d ie is already busy supplying.a large run o f custom and intends to keep up with the demands of the times.

T h e Trenton H ouse so well and fav­orably ’.known under Mrs. Davisson’s management formerly, is this year in charge .of two experienced ladies, Mrs. Hayward and Mrs. Tcear, of Elizabeth,N. J., aiid is now open, for visitors. . Their restaurant promises to be a great public convenience, to those who live in tents or occupy lodging rooms.

The building formeriy known as the Franklin House, has been renovated, ■.■■■■ improved, and well furnished by its present owner. Mrs. Price. It is now . called the Surf Avenue House, and from its very central, location will be increasingly popular. Those who wish to- secure boarding in a pleasant home by the sea, will do well to call on Mrs. Price at the Surf Avenue Housed

I t will be of some interest t o k n ow : that Mr. J. Dcvelin, in connection with-' his popular dining rooms for ladies and gentlem en, at No- 14 North Second St., has provided comfortable lodging room s,. single, or large enough to accommodate companies, lodges, or societies, who, during their visit to the Centennial, wohkl like to be together. This ar­rangement is both convenient and economical.

W e had a look through the magnifi­cent Centennial H ouse recently, and found everything in. com plete order for the most fastidious taste. Mis. Loomis who takes charge o f this line establish­ment, will make,- hosts o f friends this . year at- the Grove. .- With competent and careful clerk, polite waiters, exper­ienced cooks, and iill modern conven­iences the Centennial House cannot fail to be popular..

R i e d ’s V ir.d P a r k . —Wc found op­portunity recently in passing to and lrom Ocean Grove’ to note the rapid strides of improvement around Squan Village, Sea Girt, and Spring Lake Beach, and not least- among theni, the opening of a beautiful piece of proper­ty, sloping along the shore of Wreck Pond, with a fine outlook to the Sea, under the enterprise of its owner W m.V. Reid. Two.private cottages are al­ready erected, and a handsome board-> ing house to be conducted on strictly temperance principles, will, soon be • ready for guests. The. place presents numerous attractions for n summer so­journ. The Villa Park H ouse can be rented for th e season. I f any -of our friends wish to secure a pleasant place, it may be to their advantage to com­m unicate with Mr. Reid a t Squan.

OCEAN GROVE:The Christian Sea-sifle BesorL

For the inform ation o f those n o t fa­m ilia r w ith th is interesting place, a few facta m ay be briefly s ta te d :

■ IiOCATIOX.I t is located six miles south o f Long Branch, im ­

mediately on the shore of tho.A tlantic Ocean. I t is bounded on th e north and south by beautiful

• little fresh water lakes!; o:i the cast ]>y tho ocean, i-‘ aiid on the west by Deal and Squan Turnpike.

EXTENT. ’I t comprises about three hundred acres of la n d ,: .

two-thirds o f which are grove, and tho rem ainder beach land. The whole plot is now laid ou t in grand avenues from, eighty to three hundred feet •Wide.

B tIL O lX «S .

On these avenues, about three hundred and se v - .. enty-flve cottages aro now built, varying in cost from $300 to $5,000. There are about forty y. additional buildings, consisting of large boarding­houses, stores, and such other edificcs as the busi- ness o f th e place demands. To these buildings others are-being constantly added, so th a t the pre­cise num ber given to-day will not answer for tlio num ber r. week or a m onth lier.ee. All of the cot­tages are comfortable—some of them plain, and others, possessing all tho beauty and perfection o t .? modern architecture.

SIZE OF LOTS.The average size of lots' is 30x60 feet, w hich is.

large enough for a sm all cottage, such as the m a­jority prefer to build. Those who wish to build ., larger.buy two or more lots.

i -W ATER.Water of the purest and best quality, and in 'in-

exhaustible quantities, is obtained by means of tube pumps, driven to a depth of 25 or 30 feet through ihe solid gravel. .

TENTS.In addition to cottages and boarding-houses’as

places of residence, tents are used by m any people. Last year, over fourhuiidrcd o f these were crccted,

■•and although the season wiis; unusually stormy— the w ind sometimes blowing almost a gale—yet but one was blown down, and th a t iinproperly pu t up, and empty a t the time. These tents are dry and comfortable, even ill wet w eather Many persons > prefer touts to/cottagcs, us they' say, “■ Tent life is a change—we live in houses o r cottages a t home.” Tents of good size, and in good condition, erected and ready lor occupancy, can always Ije had on reasonable ternis by application to tlio Superin­tendent. '

B A T H IN G A N D BO ATING .The batliingiitOceaii Grove is unsurpassed; The

boating upon the lakes is enjoyed by thousands of men, ■women, im d children, from early daw n to long after dark. Over four hundred boats are now

. found upon these waters.GOVERNMENT. .!

The government Of the place is strictly religious, being in charge of twenty-six m en—thirteen mih-

• isters and th irteen laym en—all o f w hom lhust be ■ • members o fth e Methodist Episcopal Cliurch; and : yet this place is iii ho Seiiso sectarian—its popula­tion being composed of all denominations of Chris­tians, who enjoy and take part iii its religious ser­vices. v

RECREATION.The object of th is place is to provide a sea-side

" resort for Christian people, free froni the viccs.anil temptations usually found a t fashionable watering placcs, and a t such rates as shall como w ithin the reach, o f those of moderate means. /

REMfilOUS SERVICES.A camp-meeting for th e promotion Of Christian ,

holiness'is held eacli year, together w ith otlicr re­ligious ser vices, w hich are held dally from the be­ginning of the season to its close.

RESTRICTIONS.The gates are closed on tlio Sabbath, aiid the

quietness tha t becomes th a t holy day everywhere prevails. Neitherliquors nor tobacco are sold u p o n . tlie ground. “ Holiness to the L ord” is ouriuotio.

EOTS FOR SAEE.About twelve hundred lots have already been

sold. There are m any more yet in th e market, well located and attractive.., Tlie proceeds from the sale o f lots, a n d from all other sources, go to , improve th e p lace.. The individual members of the Assoblation a re n o t financially, benefited;. The c h a r te r p ro h ib its i t .

The riiil-road depot; is bu t a few hundred yards from tho entrance to the/grounds. Post and- tele­graph'office opten all the year.
