It is a conspicuous fact that abrapt bathing reca- lia, stopping short about the knee-pan, is worn by nine-tenths of the females at this place, and invariably so by those of robust physique. Should this continue (a3 it doubiless will), we may expect ere long to see the good clergymen in charze of Ocean Grove ethics pointing vreat ora lessons on the subject of the “fatted calf.” THE RELIGIOUS LEAVEN of this retreat does not seein to have leavened the whole lump bya biz majority. The young people in particular are not jilled with the same spirit that pervades the tabernacle meetings. Go to the beach any day and you find numbers of gushing couples lolling on the shore, making simultaneous impressions in sand banks and on responsive hearts, in some cases ‘‘expediting” courtship under‘ cover of a treacherous ui brella. but in siost instance resorting in bold publicity to “spooning” practices, more adapt- abie to the family sofa and twilight accessories.

I wrote aletterto Tue Star several weeks ago, which was published, and now I am going to inflict another upon its readers. I want to tell you of our ride to old Fort Ticonderoga, through one of the most beatiful valleys in eastern New York. The road runs along by the lake for several miles, thus giving enchanting panorama-like views of clear crystal water, overshadowed by high mountains. The surface of the lake dotted by lovely islands, among which numerous pleasure boats make their way. Passinga mile or two in rearof the famous Roger's Rock Hotel we leave the lake and strike into the valley. What a peaceful sight meets your eyes! Well cultivated land, substantially built houses, overflowing barns. How quiet and beautiful the scene. As the sweet oddr of new mown hay reacties us we are apt to. think that after ali the farmer has the best of this life. When ke looks over his well cultivated fields and sees nature smiling in his face how can he help being happy? And if he is happy what more can be desired? Is not this the “Will o° the Wisp” we are all seeking? REV. JOSEPH COOKE'S BOYHOOD. The road we are on leads by the home of Mr. Joseph Cooke, the father of the celebrated Rev. Joseph Cooke, of Boston. Here is where the famous preacher spent his early days. By the our driver told us rather an amusing story of the Rey. Joseph's boyhood. ay the lib- rary belonging to the village school was sold, and he became the happy possessor of quite a number of books. The next morning Joseph was sent by his father to do some mo’ Seeretin: few of the b at, he started for the place. but see cool shady spot under an old tree, he dug a small hole in the turf and curled up fora read. Dinner time came and went, but Joseph stirred not. Finallyhis father grew anxious, and started in search. Visiting the mea ‘fi not seeing him, he proceeded a short distance and found Joseph enrled up under atr that he did not hear his father’s approach. When told the time he was completely dumbfounded, haying no idea the day was almost gone. From that tine he was never asked to work on the farm. He was sent to school and allowed to follow the bent of his mind, his father declaring he was never “cut out” fora farmer. He has a little study, which looks very much like a watch tower, down in the woods. This he nses when home visiting. His favorite jon to study and read is to lie flat on his back on the loose earth. Passing the village of Ticonderoga we ascend a hill, and soon THE RUINS OF THE OLD FORT look threateningly down upon us. Dismount- ing we proceeded to investigate, and were shown the pathway along which Ethan Allen and his followers made their way, the place where he stood when demanding the fort's surre: numerous other interesting places. A bi inthe and surrounding country can be obtained from this point. Year by year the stones composing the walls fall off. “Already two sides are gone, and soon it will have lost all resemblance to a fort. Oar visit ended we made our w back to Hague much pleased with the trip. A Word for Hu Other Nowy N To the Editor of Tae Lventa Stan.

Engt ee h Views of Auerican Society. ‘ew York Criti Many of the English reyiews and ma: seew to be troubled just now about American society. Hail a dozen trifling American novels ‘¢ the staid Edinburgh Review with obser- vations on the subje Mr. Freeman, the histo- diseusse fly Review; that ines customs have been attacked by Mr. Matthew vid, and calls on Mr. Lowell to rep hope that Mr. Lowell de As 4 man-ot-letters Mr. | Arnold bas not a very high place in American jesteem. He is a writ writer. Tothe mass jot Americans he is uaknown; to the mass of Eng! is ouly known by his fi nane. Asa critic of our ways he is not en! to a hearing; for he has never been to America; he has never lived with Americans; he confesses and is proud of his ignorance. Is such a foe- man worthy of Mr. Lowell's steel? We marvel at the audacity of these critics. They all avow that they know nothing ot Amer- ican society. They have read a tew books, like the Edinburgh Py-iewer; they have traveled on like Mr. Freeman;,and from these experiences they evolve their generalities. When the writer of The Spectator, a writer of far deeper insight than Mr. Arnold, was in this country he called at the White House and found the President studying his books, hearda cabinct minister's son call his mother ‘old-stick- ia-the-mad,’ and was only saved from entertain- ing a deplorable opinion ot our civilization by the courtesy of a native who drew on sn enve- lope a plan of the street where the writer want- ed to go. That preserved us. ‘We adinit,’ says The Spectator, a delicious condescension, wholly unsuspect®) by the writer, ‘we adit that an American gentleman does hot differ from an English gentleman.’ In the same aifa- bie spirit speaks Mr. Oscar Wilde to The Su: ‘I believe a most serious problem for the Amer can people to consider is the cultivation of better manners in its people.’ it never occurs } to this young man that hisown manners are open to criticism. Satisfied of his own social supremacy, acclaimed by Oshkosh asthe arbiter of elegance, he forgets that by the majority of cultivated Americans he is regarded with good- natured contempt. Englishmen may, Indeed, make up their minds that their criticisms on America society wi neither correct nor instruct. With all’the vul- garities which inhere in a democracy, and which run without restraint in the United States, we cannot ene reproof or advice from a country so snob-ridden as England. Caste has eaten up English good manners. ‘Tory or radical. bishop or costermonger, all are smitten by the terrible noclal garigrene from which the mass of Amer- icans are free. On the life of the Latin races we can afford to model ours, for to them base hero-worahip is almost unknown. With English- men It is part of their being, and we venture to say that our friend of The Spectator would rather be seen in the company of an illiterate, unman- nerly duke, than of a cultured and well-bred artisan. Until, therefore, they have cured this domestic evil, our English critica should sit silent and ashamed. ro Net Whelly Bad. From the Providence Press.
