What L. patriotism9

What is patriotism? Is 1t a narrow
affection for the spot where a man
was born? Are the very clods where
we tread entitled to this ardent prefer
ence because they are g%reener? No,
SIR. This is not the character of the
virtue, and 1t scars higher for fits OBJ
ject. 1t is an extended self love, min
Cling with all the enjoyments Of life
and twisting itself with the minutest
alaments-nfthe heart--Itssthuss we
obey the laws of society. because they
are the laws of virtue. In their au-
thority we zee not the array of force
and terror, but the venerable image
OF country's honor. Every good
citizen makes that honor his own and
cherishes it not only as precious, but
as sacred. He is willing to risk his
life In its defense and is conscious that
be gains protection while he gives it,

Gaping Verses.

On going into the rooms of one of his
friends who was absent DR.. Mansel
saw on the table the opening lines of a
poem in the following lofty style:
The SUMS perpendicular heat
Illumined the depths of the sea.
Taking up a pen, he completed the
stanza in the following witty way:
The fishes. beginning to sweat,
Cried, Hang 1t. how hot we shall be!'
DR.. Watson. regius professor of di-
vinity, had at one time been tutor of
Trinity, and when he vas made bishop
of LANDAU an honest publican in
Cambridge. who kept an inn called the
Bishop Blaise, out of respect to DIR.
Watson changed his sign and replaced
the head of Bishop Blaise by that Of
Bishop Watson. This transfer drew
from Mansel. who probably had some
grudge against the late tutor. the fol-
lowing epigram:
Two OF a trade can ne'er agree
Nc proverb ere was juster.
They've ta'en down Blaise, you see,
And put up Bishop Buster.

The Industrial Parade

The fourth grand annual industrial
parade of the Allied Merchants League,
of Five Mile Beach, that will be held
here on Thursday next, August 10th,
will doubtless surpass any similar
event that has ever been held on the
Island, and will be one Of the largest
and most important attractions that
have been arranged for this season.
A meeting Of the League was held at
the Anglesea Borough Hall, on Mon
day evening last, which vas attended
by a large number of the active and
progressive business and hotel men Of
the Island, and great interest was
manifested by them In the prepare
tions that are being made. The An
glesea borough council made two
liberal appropriations for the payment
of its share Of the expenses Of the DEM
onstration, and for decorations, while
the business men of the northern end
of the Island have expressed their de-
termination of having q number OF
large and handsome floats in the par
AIDE, that will be a credit to the bor-
ough and that will prove interesting to
visitors.
Henry H. Ottens reported that he
would have several large and hand
some floats in the parade and his
methods of doing things right, will
cause some others to get busy in order
to have a chance Of competing for the
handsome prizes.
The business men Of Holly Beach
have taken hold of matters there with
q vim and push that will surmount all
obstacles and they propose showing
for their section one of the finest and
most com plete displays that have ever
been seen here. One part of their ex-
hibit will be a demonstration by the
United States Life Saving Crews, a
splendid marine exhibit and a display
of the fishing industry.
Wildwood Crest will have, as in
former years, one Of its handsome prize
winning floats which it is promised
will be a credit to the new and pro-
gressive resort. Wildwood, as usual,
will have a large number of handsome
floats and with the fire companies,
societies and lodges that are expected
to be in line, the parade will be the
largest and finest one that has ever
been seen on the Island, for every live
business and hotel man appreciates the
importance of showing to the thou
sands of visitors the modern, up-to-
date energy and push of the people
here, and the pro-gressiveness Of her in
dustries. Handsome prizes will be
given in all the various class, as well
as for the best decorated building along
the route of parate, which will be as
follows: Parade will form on Central
avenue, below First avenue, Angleses,
march up Central to Walnut to New
Jersey, thence to First, to Central,
down Central to Seventeenth, easterly
to Pennsylvania, down Pennsylvania
and Atlantic to Cedar, thence to
Pacific, down Pacific to Heather Road,

The grand water carnival that was
to have been held on Tuesday eve
ming last by the Holly Beach Yacht
club was postponed on account of the
severe thunder storm that visited the
island at about the time set for the be-
ginning OF the splendid procession of
power boats and craft on the waters Of
Sunset Lake. Arrangements had been
made for making the affair a great
success, and thousands of japanese
lanterns and electric lights Illuminated
the crest from one end to the other
while decorations in ~profusion graced
the cottages and club house. The
entire lake from WAS -ahlszs- witA-beR-
fires and redfre, and all arrangements
were complete for n Of the most. spec
tacular scenes that had ever been wit
messed on the island, while hundreds Of
visitors, cottagers and residents filled
the pretty club house and thronged the
surrounding grounds awaiting the be-
ginning of the carnival, when Jupiter
Pluvious turned loose its forces and
with q deluge of rain completely ruined
hundreds of dollars worth of decora-
tions and necessitated the postponement
Of the principal features of the event,
the procession. The display of fire.
works was held during the interval be-
tween two heavy showers, and was fol-
lowed by a dance in the club house,
which was largely attended, and for
which music was furnished by Ogles-
by's famous orchestra.
An innovation that was introduced a
few evenings ago, at the lower end of
the Crest, was a moonlight bathing
party, given by Mrs. G. r. Morse of
Philadelphia. Numerous games were
played by the young folk, after which
a supper was served at the residence of
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Keen. Mrs. q. II.
Morse and Mrs. William Wine, chap
eroned the party, and among those who
attended were Mr.. and Mrs. William
Wine, Mrs. z. r. Morse, Miss Katherine
Parker, Miss Helen Stricken. Jack Par
ker, Leroy Parker and Monley Wild
dows of Philadelphia; Miss Caroline
Broomall of Chester; Arthur and Her
bert Schaenfeld of Washington, D. c.,
and Alpha johnson of New York.
DR.. Herman Schoenfeld of Washing
ton, d. c., the Turkish Consul General,
who owns several pretty cottages at the
Crest, returned on Sunday last from a
trip through various parts of Europe,
where he has been travelling for the past
year in the interests Of the Turkish gov
eminent. The Doctor spent considerable
time in Constantinople, and enjoyed
his trip very much, but is glad to return
to- his summer home here. He is the
picture Of health, and is much inn
pressed with the Improvements he finds
at the Crest, for which he predicts a
splendid future.
