Why do you not, Mr. Edi'or, crop down upon
NJ for few Gays, and enjoy with rs the deli
cious bathing, h. hing, riding, ETC., ct NC would
do you good my dear Mr.. HERALD, andttrehgshsn
you for renewed efforts on our universal ub-
qui,Ous ever-s0aght ana not overprized paper.
This Ia probably one Of the best managed hotels
and most agreeable summer resorts on the whole
coast. It stands facing the broad ocean, and
the eye can glance over boundless expn,e
Of "deep, deep sea" and watch the ever hesving,
br. athing motion Of its dark waters.
Ard then the storm The dark portentous
clouds, the dep AID distant rolling thunder, or
its more sharp and quick succession of reports,
the distant beginnings fash, or its rapid zigzag
terpentiDe movement as it dances ON the heav-
ing, foaming deep, making it for moment to
appear as one Sra Of fire and life, and then dark
again, as II covered with pail. All, my dear
sir, It is sight grand and beautiful to behold,
and worth miles Of travel to enjoy. The bath
ing here 10 unsurpassed. One is not obliged to
ride through the billing sun for mile or more
to reach the lever flowing sea-" or wade and
swelter through fields Of driving sand before he
can reach the inviting health restoring waters.
A dozen steps from the honse briggs you to the
wsteJy dominions Of old Neptune, whose
throne Is net far rom here, and you can enter
his green palaces without fatigue, and revel in
his ciamoers under the very shadow of his
lofty trident.
Such merry making as we have in dashing
through the spray-such bold and fearless action
Of the mascalines AMI pretty graceful move
ments OF the gentler eek, whore voices, pitched
t. high and joyous key, come skimming over
the waves like the tones of an @oliaa harp,
with bow ard Then clear, shrll sound which
fairly browns the screaming sea bird that floats
high in the air above.
There are numerous New Workers. here land
where, pray, 90 you not find them), and Whist
with bathing, ri0ing, fishing, dancing, and the
Ike we peSs away the time most agreeably.
The troubles If Wall street are scarcely al
)uded to, though more than one has bis guam
turn srf. # doubtful "New Havens," misera-
bic "Erie,n and worse Parker" but these are
al placed In the iron cafe of old Neptune, while
the holders are satisfied to draw on his bank
ftr all the present comforts Of life. Many have
brought their own carriage and horses with
them. and tho drives In Sue carly morning and
cool OF the evening are most delightful.
Among the b st Of these is Mr.. s., of New
York, who, with his fair lady and daughter,
with some friesd, take much pleasure In VII RI
ing over the beach or Driving his spanking
hay over the surrounding hills. The owners
OF these establishments are, we are glsd t. see,
not exclusive with them; for, often kind CON-
panion is invited to vacant seat, and through
this and other means, degree Of sOciability is
kept up which makes It pleasant indeed
A very sgre. able family of T-'e, of New
York, have just left here, Madame IL 10 COM

B. do much TO make the hours pass pleasantly,
while the frolicksome Miss ID. is q. full ofmirth
and merriment as ever. A venerable and good
Bishop Is ready to t. ach us he ways of life
and yet is no restraint upon our little limo

brassy band to annoy and disturb the sleeper, but
the gentle flute, violin, and piano discourse
most sweet music, and invites the worshippers
Of TeTpeichore to the light and merry dance.
Then the graceful Miss L. wins all hearts,
while Mis- and Miss T. e guest Of Mrs. 81
float through the waltz like an azure cloud
driven by the gen;ler hand Of Boreas.
But the babies want to talk Of the babies
