Description of the Religious Sum- mer-Resort of the West. Formal Dedication of the Grounds--- Subscriptions to the Bonds. A Day of Rural Enjoyment, If Mrs. Hemaos wers yet living and conld bave been present Thursday ot the Lake Bluff Camp-(}xvaund. she might have ssen and listened to & not inappropriate illustistion of her beauti~ tul lines: The soundlng aisles of o o sutbety of tas troe, o 28 Tha actompavinien s were o'l there—the dim woods, the anthems, aud a company of happy peoule, gathered together near the shora of o.e of America's great inland seas, and wiihin sonnd of its ever-murmming waves, free not only in the sense intended by the sweet siugor, but re- leased, if only for o Lmef space, from the din, coofusion, and stifi.ng emoke and dust of the crowded city, and the weary Iabors of the farm and harvest-feld. The study, the counting- house, and the cares of business were for the time forgotten, aud exchanged for a day of pure eocial and religions enjoymeut in the country, under the shade of the uverhaoging foliage, and in the, frae jure air of heaven, Of mauy excursion picuics from the city into the country not much good may be said. The general invitations extended and the reduced rates of fare have tne tendency to attraci muny who think it a fittiog time to emancipate them- selves from the restrainis of social life, give free reio to license and appetite, aod mdulge in the nildest discipation, They are too apt to draw together the vile avd vicious, the rough and rowdy element which ia to be found on the pur-~ lieus of soctety, in all cities, who seize upon theye oceasions to usbridle their passions,and the daya which should tend to make them better aud purer,and mve them highor and nobler tuoughis of their relations to Gud and sheir fellow-cion, are many times witnesses to ecenes of carousal and debauchery. _Of this excarsion and picnio nothing of this kind can be written, From firat to inst nothing occur: ed to mar its harmony or detract in the leest irom its high characier. A more select 1 arty could scarcely be brought together—ladies and gentlemen fron the higher walks of lLfe, sepresen. atives of the intetlecc and soc s worth of the commumty, snd mo.e notably of its relizious element. Tho novelty of the exercises, differing somewhat from those ordioarily 1ucident to such gatueriogs, doabtless haa 1ts nilnence 1 diawing many, while all were avzions to look upon the pew camp-ground and summer resort concerniag which muca has lately beeu sad and written through the columns of F'ue TRIBUNE, and DY personal inspection saci-fy themselves of its beautifal natural location and the 1mprovements mads aod malung by the asso- cation hsviog the matter in cba go. Des ite the threateniog eky aud the impromteing appear- ance of the weather in the morning, the day proved to be ail that could be !li!l?e'g:n Early i the forenoou the sun made its appesrsuce, and thenceforward the day was charmiog,—sathi- ciently warm to mako the shads of the trees pleasint and grateful, the sky pres.ntiog that sott, hazy a) pear. nee which is sure hacbinger of the coming Iudiin summer.

They all seemed jocand and happy as tho very youngest und gavest of the par.y, and, laving aside for the nonce the digoity of their stanons, wish jest, and laugbter, and marriment did their full share in contribut.ng to the livelness and enjovment of the trip. the leading mémbers of the different Methodist church- aa of = Chicago were present with their families, and the leating cburches of the other deuominations were aigso well represented. All wero happy a8 the happiest, and seemingly well sststied with themeelves and with each other,— with their positions in life, with thour religion, with the trip, and the prospect ahead of a day of pure, rational enjoywent. Swiftly the flying trsin’ sped onward, and Lake Biaff was safeiy reached at 11 o'clock. AT THE GEOUSDS. Thence the compan¥, vow numbering about 1,000, repmired, some on foot and some in car- riages, to the maia stand, which had been erected in the beart of the grove near the lske shore, where they were told by Mr. Trusdell, the euer- getic and “well-known Secretary of the Associn- tion, tu disperse, eat their dinner and amuse themselves as they pleased until 1 o'clock, at which hofr they were requested to recurs and listen to musio and the ** feast of reason and flow of soml” which thoy mignt rezsonably expect from the arrsy of eloqueat aud (slented gentle.en presest.

Again dispers.ng, an hour was pleasantly passed in rambling through the gronvds sud admiring the bosaties which Natore has spread around the locatity with gach lavish hand. They strolled down to the lake, now quiet aud peaceful, ana_seemingly unconscious that, but o £2% days ago it was lash- ed 1nto angry billows, engulphing nits remorse- lees bosom brave ships freighted with precious cargoes, and braver men now _slespivg beneath 1t “waters. They penetrated the pidden recosscs of the woods, rambied alung the labyrinth of shaded walks and drives, Piercing the tangied brashwood, they explored tho ravines, and gathered m.eacs and ferns growing ia their secluded depths. They sesied themseves for & moment’s rest ip the icstic seats and arbors scatterad throngbont the groves foilowed the courses of tbe brooks, now broken nto motature waterlalls, and then flowing murmuring by over their gravely beds ; peered into the leafy bow- ers, the Bhady Tetreats, and seciuded noois where in the comivg years mourning Leatts will repair to grieve over sins uuioigiven. aod friond will mivister to friend the swees aud precions consd- Iations of religiun ; descended 1nto the tiuy dells, fit homes for he fairies, and plucked the wild flowers Llussoming there in_generous profusion, until a | became su:feiled nita the beaties of ‘Nature spread 30 Iavisaly around them, and sat- iafied Lbat their imsgppation bad never ; ictared ‘Lake Blufl half su beun.ifal as the reaiity.
