Summer-Touring.
These summer days in this "leafy month Of
june" are eminently suggestive Of excursions.
Those who can 90 will soon be off. The season
proper opens the first Of July.
The most ambitious class Of tourists 60 to
Europe. Several from our midst have already
left. Those going so far must needs start early.
The class next in orbitslrange are to 60 north.
To 60 north is to loiter among the great cities
there; to seek the never-tiring majesty of Mag
ara, or to join in the fashionable gayeties and
pretentious frivolities of Saratoga or West Point
to make the tour Of the Lakes; or, aquatically
inclined, to seek the visionary pleasures Of Cape
May the beautiful, of Newport the classical, of
Lake George the picturesque, or Of 'Nahant the
romantic; or, with less crowd, to spend few
days at Deal, at Long Branch, ct Coney Island,
at Rockaway, at Glen Cove, at Sachens Head,
or at Shrewsbury. The White Mountains have
attractions 80 have the Hudson and the Ohio
rivers. Indeed, La Belle Riuiere has been re-

Let US mention few of the visitable localitie:
nearer home.
Old Point Comfort on the coast Of Virginia i:
capital place for quiet folks. 1t is Frginiar
in tone-somewhat English, neat, cheerful, ant
not noisy. The society is better than at water
ing places generally-less miscellaneous, and il
the same degree exclusive.
White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, is place Of
much resort. The establishment, under the su
perintendence of Mr.. Humphreys, never foil:
to be frst-class in every respect. The jan
sometimes renders comfort out Of the question
1t is fashionable Southern place of resort.
Suliuan's Island, we presume, WILDE visitable
The Moultrie House on the island is usually well
kept.
Glenn Springs. in Spartanburg District, enjoys
fine reputation for the mineral virtues of its
waters, especially in cases of jaded digestion.
The gayeties Of the season are the hop, the drive,

or the artist-souled seeker Of the picturesque.
The society is so transient as to have little
characteristic about it. There is 8 scottags.hote
