AND WATER, &C, &C.
Now that the sunny days OF June are
here in earnest, and the cool, pleasant
weather OF early spring gone-until next
year-tbe eyes OF those who are able to visit
such places turn with brightness and happy
expectations to the joyous scenes OF the
popular summer resorts in the mountains
and by the seaside; and soon they will be
off for the summer. Already some are
packing their trunks for Niagara, the White
Sulphur, Cape May, the White Mountains,
or places nearer home; but there are others
