AT COLLINS BEACH.
A Letter from the Favorits Bayside
Resort.

COLLINS BEACH, September lat, 1879.
We have had very delightful time OF
Il this summer, meeting almost the whole
party OF last season, and having over
again all the pleasures of that time, ex
cepting the fishing, our creek where we
angled so successfully last season was so
overun by water from the cedar swainps
that the fish were either driven away or
killed We tried our lines one morning,
but did not get even have one bite, So that
pastime We were compelled to give NJ
and cast our lines In more pleasant
places.
1t seems strange that there are SO
many pleasures at a place Of this kind
some new amusement constantly suggest
ing itself, and we are always finding
something with which we can happily
pass away our time.
The children here are among the happl.
est creatures il has been my good fortune
to see with their buckets and shovels,
they carry sand to their little wind mills
and thus pass whole hours In perfect
contentment. Often are we called ON IL
build castles In the sand fortresses, hills,
houses and tunnels, then like caste
builders In the air, we watch with the
ried away with every returning wave
Till there remains not one grain Of 0ul
building to show our handwork. I'm.
like tho childfen, who shout and laugh
as they see the waves carry oil our trca.
sures il brings little sadness to oul
more matured minds sad thoughts will
come of the many buildings Of brightest
hopes and ambitions that have been car.
ria n A. uta of ha fts.i
will still leave US ere we 90 TO follow
them, aud are swallowed up by waves
that will never have an ebb tide
There are several old boats here on the
shore, and there are houses, cars, stages,
boats or whatever the childrtn's imagin,
alton chose to make them.
l think this one Of the safest and most
pleasant places have seen for little chill.
dren, there seems to be no danger, and 50
very many ways in which they can find
amusement and happiness.
The table here Is just filled with Tho
choicest things the season affords. Oys.
tiers IN all styles are given us such oyster
pies ! never ate they are famous fish Of
all kinds, chicken and dacks, every vegc
table with fruits aud melons; grapes
pears, apples and peaches being plenty
We certainly feast on the good things o
this world while at the Ilygeuia House
One Of the many pleasant things here
is watching the steamers, schooners auc
other crait as they sail out or in having
a powerful glass at our disposal we car
see the names of nearly all the steamer
that pass here. Over n week ago partl
sailed out to sec the Fennsplydnia. Fri
day we watched the AdbotJord, of thu
Rcd Star line, as she steamed out toward
the ocean, yesterday morning anothe
steamer of the same line passed her
about ten O'Clock, coming in, her deck
crowded with people, glad, perhaps, Il
again get a sight Of green shores Will
almost every day Boston or Southern
steamers pass out or in.

Punch tells story of two boys, one
good, the other bad, each of whom re-
ceiyed a guinea to he disposed of as he
might see proper. The bad boy bought
all sorts of good things to eat and thus
wasted his guinea in riotous living.
When the last penny was gone, he came
To the good boy and begged him to have
compassion on his poverty, but the good
boy would not advance a farthng and
lectured the bad hey on his wicked ex-
travagauec, how many tracts that
guinea might have BOUGHT and untold
heathcns converted. The bad boy turned
away sorrowful, while the good boy went
homeward admirlng the religious glitter
Of his guinea and dropped it through a
grating into a sewer.

IU-ury Laws and savings Iiauks.
One of the results of a Usury law is to
diminish the number Of savings banks.
Wherever legal prohibition Of the loan
ing Of money at the market price does not
exist numerous "Dlme Savings Banks"
and other similar institutions spring up
which perform the important function OF
encouraging people to save their small
earnings by giving them a good rate Of
interest therefor, aud then place the
accumulations Of such sayings where
they will do the most good by loaning
them, at a rate of interest somewhat in
advance of that paid to 'epositcrs, to
those whose business justiiios them in
paying such rate. The effect of this is
to keep the whole capital Of community
actively and probably employed, and to
promote very decidedly the growth
of wealth. Business is promoted and en-
cOuraged by the increase OF iaclllllee ioI
obtaining capital for carrying it on, and
this In turn makes times better for the
working men and Others who have
greater savings to deposit, and thus add
still more to the capital which promotes
the general prosperity. No system can
be devised which is better adapted
to the promotion of the general
welfare through business prosperity, aud
vet the two classes most benefited by
such course, the workers for wages wno
would make the deposits and the small
merchants and manufacturers who might
most reasonably he expected to use such
deposits, are constantly asked to hell
maintain the usury laws, which are the
chief obstacle to such state of affairs
