church, grounds and parsonage. He will
not conclude the third year of his pas,
torate until December. Father Carey is
a man of unbounded energy. The men,
oership of the church has nearly doubled

yard. Mr.. VIM. NJ. Singerly generously
contributed 800. A special train will be

AT THE SEASIDE.
A Cecil Lady Writes of Ocean Grove, As.
bury Park and Long Branch.

OCEAN GROVE, Aug. 9Th 1889.
MIR. EDITOR STARTING on much talked
of trip in the pouring rain of Wednesday
morning July 31st. we arrived in Philadel-
phia in due time, umbrellas and waterproofs
still being in demand. Remaining over
night in the City of Brotherly Love, we left
Market street depot ON Thursday morning
for Ocean Grove. Crossing the river on the
boat to Camden we were soon steaming
along through the pine barrens of New Jer-
sey; new ground to us. After crossing
Barnegat Bay the train stops frequently at
the many seaside resorts springing up along
the road. We arrived at the depot which
is in Asbury Park near the gates of Ocean
Grove. Procuring a hack we were soon set
down at our boarding house which is so
close to the sea, we have good view of it
from the porch and all the windows, and
can hear the sound all the time, day and
night. This we considered very fortunate
as the heavy gust all through the afternoon
prevented our going out, and the greatest
object of interest to US was the ocean. This
Is beautiful place with wide avenues and
pathways, pleasant groves and handsome
cottages, with ample and we'll kept grounds.
In the large Auditorium the Tabernacle and
Young Peoples Temple. meetings are held
nearly all the time. AT the National Tenn
perance meetings in progress when we ar
rived we heard some noted speakers Mrs.
Mary A. Livermore lectured on Thursday
and Friday nights, and Colonel G. W. Balm
on Saturday and Sunday nights. There
were said to be six thousand people listened
to Col. Balm Sunday night at the Auditor
ium. At the Beach meeting at six o'clock
there were twenty thousand persons pres
emit. We hired carriage and were driven
to Long Branch, and through Hoey's gar
dens, saw the cottage at Elberon where Gar
field died, and many splendid cottages
owned by people of note. We have also
tried the bathing which is very good There
are no spirituous liquors sold in this place,
no tobacco, no cigars and one can walk out
without having tobacco smoke pulled in
ones face. We went on Sabbath morning
TO Asbury Park to the Presbyterian Church
and heard a good sermon. At the Beach
meeting in the Park in the afternoon DR..
McGlynn lectured on Prayer to a large
audience. Asbury Park with its electric
cars, its merry go-round and various gal
ties not allowed here is pleasant place;
but for a peaceful, restful, summer outing,
Ocean Grove of campmeeting fame, to our
mind cannot be surpassed. B.

A Word Concerning our Cemetery.

Mr.. Editor: Could not something be done

Strengthening up in our cemetery 1t is so
very unsightly with the tombs crooked, and
the grass SO high that when we visit the

One Summer Day on a Texas
Ranch.

Written for the CECIL WHICH,
Picture if you can, a great stone ranch
house, walls looking as if meant to with
stand the storms of centuries as well as
the storms of Indian bullets, not 80 in
frequent thing as you may imagine,
even less than thirty years ago, high and
wide windows north and south to let in
freely all breezes, deep galleries and bal
comics to keep out the ardent sun; all this
set in wide stretch of land, on one side
level and dotted with great gnarled oaks,
on the other slightly undulating and de-
voted to orchards and home pastures. A
domain fair to look upon with its skies
of deeper blue than you ever know, SUM-
shine more golden, air more fresh.
A cool breezy morning in July and
through the open gates trooped merry
cavalcade bound for curious cave not
too distant for reasonable good riders. In
about two hours we reached the hillside,
having dismouuted secured our horses
| and lighted our candles we entered mar
row opening and soon found ourselves in
| a wide chamber some ten feet from floor
to ceiling, beyond this the rocky walls
stretched away and away until they were
lost in. the darkness. The floor if floor
it could be called covered with immense
stones which we clambered over or
among as best we might until gaining
smoother footing we paused and raising
our eyes beheld beautiful corrugated
ceiling, white as snow, varied here and
producing strange effect. We could
hear the rumbling of wagons on the road
directly over US sounding like distant
thunder. At last the cave widened and
from the ceiling hung beautiful stalac-
tiles several feet in length, some even
meeting the stalagmites forming massive
and grotesque pillars, here standing in
regular rows there scattered. We scar
cely dared speak for our voices echoed
and re- echoed until we almost fancied
the gnomes of the underground world
were hooking us, and think we were
all glad to be once more cantering along
in the sunshine with our ponies heads
turned homeward, quite ready after a
hasty toilet, for the substantial dinner
that awaited us and for the rest in the
long, warm sleepy afternoon.
At five we start, some in bathing suits
and some only to see the fun, for beau
tiful sheet of water clear, blue and shin
ing, the banks green and velvety with
grass as soft as that of any we'll kept
lawn. In plunge the bathers one after
another the swimmers striking out for
the deepest part, the more timid splash.
ing and dashing through the water with
peals Of laughter but keeping within
safe reach of the shore and the ropes.
We have several musicians in the COM
pany and after tea the soft tones of an
ehrard float through the open windows
mingled with sweet strains from youth |
full voices filling the fragrant evening air
with melody until at last we separate to
be ready for the various pleasures planned
for the coming day. w.

OF the proceeds of the. sale of the real es-
tate, and placed the same in bank in his
own name; that subsequently he told her

many army officers hope for the good Of the

why it should remain as it is, they say, Sat

upon as "cleanhlg day." so far as the gar
risons and ships are concerned, and no
military duty other than that absolutely
necessary is performed. The new idea is
to have the wee KY inspection fixed for Satur.

loafing day, and idleness begets wickednesS
