We have large company here, who all seem
highly pleased-ocoupied in various amuse-
ments, which cause the hours to flee rapidly
between the calls to the well-supplied table in
the dining hall. There are about one hundred
and fifteen persons here at present, and every
boat that touches at the wharf brings a large
accession to the company. We have plenty of
fair ladies and well-dressed 6eaun--and at ad-
visabe hours the surf is crowded with bathers !:
while William, who attends to the letting down
and hauling up in the bath-house for the gem
tlemen, and somebody else who does the same
for the ladies, have as much to do as two pairs Of

prominent and wealthy citizens of Washington
and Baltimore here-some with their families
and altogether as sociable and happy time as
one naturally expects at watering place.
Il EARLY MARRIAGES. last number of
Hunts Merchants Magazine gives sketch of
the career of Mr.. John Grigg, an eminent book
seller of Philadelphia. The sketch concludes
by giving some views and opinions of life and
business, and rules and conduct necessary to
success in life. The following are his notions
on marriage:
Early marriage is favorite theme of Mr.
Grigg's advice to young men. All men, he
would say should be married as soon as posi-
BILE after twenty-five or twenty three years of
age. A woman of mind will conform to the
necessities of the day of small beginnings and
in choosing wife man should look at-1st,
the heart; I'd, the mind; 3D., the person. A
choice made thus soberly and discreetly can
hardly be wrong. But, alas! who will look for
discretion in o man crazy with love? In that
sad plight nobody is capable of judging any
thing right
So strong, however, were Mr.. Grigg's con-
vctions this point, despite the intrinsic diff
culties of the case, that it became o by-word
among his clerks, that if any one wished per-
manent place in his house, all he had to do was
to get married! Several of his partners and
successors in business were clerks whom he had
befriended in their boyhood and their poverty.
He made it rule, in fact, to give preference as
clerks to the sons of poor widows, whom he
paid from the start, and promoted according to
their capacity and proficiency. OF that warm
and wise charity which aids the needy, not only
by helping them to help themselves, but by
direct bounty, and which has followed the de-
serving who had been in his service after they
had left him and lost all direct claim upon his
liberality, instances might be recorded for which
this is not the place. This is the case where
the cleft hand knoweth not what the right hand
doeth"
