the mountains. And yet, if one has new
er been at the sea side, there is much that
he can enjoy. The scenery
will be new. There is gran

evening by looking up Wheeling valley
but the beauty is of different style
There is novelty and kind OF beauty,

the exciting power of seabathng. There
seems t. be- nothing but II large quantity
of water dashed against the pcrson-that
is all there Is OF it. Bat if you stand in
