NARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNING.-Three gen.

while bathing on the beach at Rockaway, L. l., yess

young Englishman Robert Sydenham, entered the
water. but not being an expert swimmer or &C.

Of the necessity Of something being done to meet an
emergency at this bathing ground which at present
has neither ropes or man In attendance.

the FISHING BANKS,

One of the most popular OF the many Sunday re.
sorts which tempt the excursionst Is the portion of
The bay opposite Long Branch, known as the Fishing
Banks. Steamers run daily; but Sunday, the work.
tngman's holiday, is the occasion when the Fishing
Banks are most frequented. On that day seven or
eight steamers Of various sizes may seen anchored
In the bay from the sides of which fishing lines OF
every description and size are thrown and pisca.
tortal enjoyment is the order Of the day.
The class OF people VINO frequent the Fishing
jority Of the excursionists who every SUNDAY a,Sv

oil an ordinary excursion boat. On the deck OF a
boat bound up the Hudson or to Long Branch a
crowd Of well dressed persons is always TO be seem
and from their manner 1t Is evident that pleasure
and relaxation are their only object. The persons
who throng the boats bound for the Fishing Banks
present totally different appearance, and business
nrst and pleasure afterwards seems to be their
motto: Almost every person carries fishing rod
ana basket containing his lines bait and the neces-
eary articles Wherewlth to refresh the inner man.
Even the ladies who accompany them seem for the
time being to interest themselves mainly In the
preparations for the sport and in its success when
once commenced, and are great on the mysteries OF
bait lines ana lead.
Although the weather yesterday morning was not
very promising IN appearance, the wei known
steamer Wyoming had q large number Of passen-
six other steamers anchored, and their passenger
hard at work. The sport was at once commenced
but owing to the very heavy sea which was running
was not generally very successful, and In about MALI
an hour after the boat had come to anchor SOUNDS
OF not very exhlaratng character might be heard
from all pars OF the boat, and the services or the
stewardess were called into requlsiton at ali points
THIS pleasing state of things continued for
Iuy TWO hours, the majority on board being
yect OF their trip. Lines were hauled in or
cropped In the water, bait was kicked overheard
ana weary heads were Land on the deck or In any
position which was near at hand. AT three O'Clock
the anchor was weighed and the start was made for

This attractive place Of resort for those set at

Kiss Him for his Mother.

1t was very pretty and pious con.
ceit OF that old lady who kissed the
dead youth for his mother. So forci
ply has it appealed to popular admira.
tlon since, that no inconsiderable
number of live young men have had
tho same affectionate caress bestowed
on them, out of respect for the same
venerable relative. A striking exam
pie of this was afforded few even
ings since, by young lady who en-
joys the undivided affections of a
handsome downtown clerk. 1t SO
happened that, some weeks ago, his
mother died. His heart was consolod
IN this great bereavement by the af-
feotionate sympathy of his employ
er's fascinating daughter. 1t is not
strange that this sympathy at last RI
Pened into love. The parents noted
and approved their daughters choice,
but wisely kept their own counsel.
The interesting relations, however,
were destined to come to light in a
way least expected. One evening,
the young couple were enjoying a
pleasant tete-G,!e!s in secluded nook
to the parlor. Tho old gentleman
happened, by the mercst accident, to
step in and take scat unobserved by
tho young people. Suddenly his at.
tention was arrested by one of those
prolonged luxurious kisses which only
lovers over interchange.
sWhat noise is that p the parent
loudly exclaimed.
Silence like death.
l say, Julia, what nose was thatr

'Who are you kissing there p
'Only-only William, sir his
mothers dead, you know-and-and
thought it wouldn't be wrong to kiss

Humph ! and the old gentleman
took his leave, doubtless thinking how
fortunate the deceased lady was, to be
so atfcotionately y remembered.
