Some time between the first of June and the last of August a very large proportion of the well-to-do citizens of the civilized world pack tlieir trunks aud betake themselves to the sea-shore, — some in search of health, 6,c::\e to amuse themselves, and others because it is the fashion. The people of the United States are not in the least behind their European cousins in their annual tendency toward the coast, and to it they come from a thousand miles west of tide-water, as well as from cities and towns whose wharves are washed by the sea itself. The salt air of the ocean is required to restore tone to the system, or to confirm in robust hoalth those who can find no other excuse of a sanitary nature. Others find a sufficient reason in the change of scene, or the enjoyment of the sports which the sea affords. It is quite poa- Biblo that in many cases mountain air is better than that of the ocean ; but mountains are, as a rule, harder to reach, and moun- tain hotels are often more expensive and less commodious than those at the seaside, while the sea breeze, during the dog-days, is much more likely to keep the mercury lower than it is among the inland valleys, no matter how high the neighboring hills may be. The distinctive feature of the sea-side is the opportunity which it affords for that most refreshing, invigorating, and generally beneficial luxury, the salt-water bath. The etiquette of American sea-beaches permits the two sexes to bathe in com- pany, and a gentleman may escort a lady into the surf, at mid- day, with as much propriety and grace as he can display in lead- ing her to a place in the ball-room in the evening. The cynio 5 may here insinuate that the emergence from the waves cannot, Z the nece««ities of the case, he so ^-f^^f^^, was tlie descent, and trtith compels us to admit that y Ithes do make a ditforenoo. However, where there are hun- dreds at hand in the san.e predicament, what does one care fo t^e digging of wetbathing-clothen, especially when the o.c.temen of the bath has caused a quicker flow of blood, and raised the spirits to a delightful exhilaration? i v. „„u water There are very few persons who are not benefited by salt-water balhs provided due caution is exercised, and the state of the system properly considered. The effects of sea-bathmg may be eH^e" stimulating or depressing, that is to soy, it is a powerfu agent for good or ill. When properly indulged m it invigorates the whole system, and is especially potent in cases of physical o nervous prostration. The sea is a powerful chemical agent, and Lts Ln the system through the pores of the skm removing dt JLlf, through direct chemical action^ ^-[^^t^C- held in solution in sea-water are strongly medicinal in their prop ertfe Borne persons, while they enjoy the bath, -erge f rom it only to feel enervated, while others are at once benefited and strenrthened The former class should not be discouraged, ^ryleasons may exist why bathing should not at first be bene- floial Medical advice should be sought wherever there is reason to doubt the expediency of taking a course of sea-baths, or sus- pect a tendency to heart disease, and strict orders ^r^oii^n^v^ by the physician with regard to the length of time which should be spent in the water. It may be accepted as a general rule that every one, whether weak or strong, will experience the best results from sea-bathing, if he stays in the water only >.., or at LL Un minutes, runs, or at least burries, across the Wh to the dressing-house, rubs himself or is rubbed by aa attendant ^Ih a coarse towel, untU a glow is produced on the skm, and then dresses with all convenient dispatch. At all the great watering-places, in fact, at most hotels, there • to^e generally understood signal, which marks the bating hour- but there are many places where signals, and hfe-boate ^Sbathing-masters are unknown. To the uninitiated we would say that the " last half of the flood " is the proper time to bathe. SKA-SIDK UKSOnTS. the waves cannot, ful or dignified iis I admit that dry re thoro arc hun- doea one care for den the excitement od, and raised tbo Bfited by salt-water I the state of the lea-bathing may be ly, it is a powerful d in it invigorates cases of physical or ihemical agent, and the skin, removing Many of the salts icinal in their prop- ath, emerge from it once benefited and Dt be discouraged; lot at first be bene- ■ever there is reason jf Bca-baths, or sus- ■ders are often given ! time which should s a general rule that Dxperience the best irater only^i'C, or at across the beach to )ed by an attendant ed on the skin, and it most hotels, there marks the bathing gnals, and life-boats, uninitiated we would proper time to bathe. By this phrase we mean the three hours which precede high- water. This time is the best for several reasons : Ist, tlie water coming in from the offing is purer than at other times ; 2d, every wave tends to throw persons and things upon the beach, th(!ro- fore there is little or no risk of being swept into deep water ; and 3d, the upper part of the beach is usually, and particularly on the shores of sounds and bays, much better for bathing purposes than that which is exposed at low water. As the tide is high twice within twenty-four hours, and reaches its highest point considerably later on each succeeding day, the bathing hour is necessarily variable, and must now and then be changed from afternoon to morning. This, however, is a matter of little moment, provided care be taken not to bathe after eating. Probably the best timie for a bath, in a sanitary point of view, is before breakfast ; but if three hours are allowed to pass after a meal, the bath may usually be taken with impunity. Immediate- ly after a meal bathing is apt to produce congestion. The great danger is, that yielding to the fascinating excitement of the scene, bathers will remain too long in the water. Some persons can, without injury, bathe for a much longer time than others; but it is an almost universal rule that a bath limited to five or ten minutes is much more beneficial than a longer one, while, except for the momentary pleasure of the sport, the immediate effect is far more enjoyable. Many persons thoughtlessly boast of spend- ing half an hour or an hour m the surf, and there are those who apparently receive no injury from so doing. It is a risk, however, and we wish to make our warning agamst the practice emphatic and unmistakable. To our masculine readers let us give a word of caution m re- gard to introducing their wives or daughters, or any of their feminine acquaintances, to the surf. At the risk of offending those who advocate the perfect equality of the sexes m all re- spects, we asseri; that many ladies, and especially such as have come to the sea-side as invalids, hoping to derive benefit from bathing, look with real terror upon the incoming breakers ; and to drag them into the waves as they come roaring toward the beach is simply an act of cruelty which may cause- harm mstcad of good. One act of thoughtless, and perhaps kindly-meant rough- 7 SEA-SIDK RESORTH. nes«, mayprostratethenervouB system effectually and precl^^^^^^^ possibility of bene^-t.

They will very soon venture mto the edge of the foam, and a few trials will probably do away with al timidity Children should be judiciously encouraged, and not carried forcibly into what looks to them like a deadly peril. It is considered by many very important that the forehead and top of the head should be wet with cold water before bathmg. This tends to prevent a rush of blood to the head. Bathing dresses may be hired at all sea-side resorts, but it is of course pleasant to have a suit of one's own. Twilled flannel is the best material. Color, of course, to suit taste or complexion Suits are now made m one piece, which is a great improvement on L pattern in which the upper and the nether parts were sepa- rable The garment should open front sufficiently for putting on ^d off easily, and it should on no account fit tightly. A loose "thifg suit 'adds ten-fold to the comfort of the bath, unless -t is of a very thin material, and made after the manner of tighte- a sty^veTy pleasant for bathing, but not available for al classes, nor at the more fashionable and conservative resorts A brood- brimmed hat of coarse straw completes the outfit and shields the h™om the sun. We decline to recommend bathing shoes or mSers where the beach is smooth. They are very like y to ^^off in the surf, and if they stay on, are almost cei^ to be filled with sand. Many ladies wear caps of oiled silk for obviaufreasons, but the salt water is an exceUent hair mvigorator, and it is a pity to lose its beneficial effects.

THE BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Within a few years tourists have learned that the coasts f the British Provinces possess rare attractions during the Kc.nmer months, and the coasts of Labrador are now visited by hunting and fishing parties, who find much that is interesting and attrac- tive even on that desolate and far-off coast. Who shall say that some future edition of this guide-book may not have to include Greenland itself, in order to complete its list of sea-side resorts ? In the course of a trip to the North all degrees of temperature may be encountered, and warm clothing is indispensable. It is possible to keep cool in warm weather by leaving off a coat or two, but it is not possible to keep warm in cold weather without thick clothing. Therefore, take plenty of wraps. The different provinces have not yet assimilated their currency, and it is best to take United States money and exchange it as required. Letters of credit can, of course, be obtained for the principal cities. lABBADOB. This savage and desolate region has few attractions save to the sportsman, the artist, and those who are robust enough to enjoy a bracing climate. Its interior is rugged, and so barren as to afford sustenance for but little game. Its rivers, however, swarm with salmon and trout, and during July, which is its choicest month, hundreds of gentlemen from Canada and the United States visit its shores. Lines of st ;imers run from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Battle Harbor. (St. John's is most directly reached from Halifax.') Visitors to this region who do not go in their own or chartered yachts must make up their minds to forego the luxu- ries of modern travel, and accept with a good grace such accommo- dations as exist on sea and shore. l» 9 SHA-SIDK JiKSnUTS. Battle llnrhm- is a roaflHtcad between a group of islands near the eastern extremity of Labrador. On one of them is tlie town where the steamers Innd. Like all the towns of this region, it is a great resort for ftsJiermen, whose vessels crowd the roadstt^od during the season. The ocean currents are such in this vicinity that even in calm weather the surf is magnificent. Fvx Harbor may be reached by a short sail. Here the native Esquimaux may be seen in their nearest approach to the civilized world. Nume- rous rivers fall into the ocean hereaboute, all of them affording the finest salmon-fishing. Along the Belle Isle Straits and the Gulf of St. Lawrence the coast is somewhat more closely settled than that to the northward, but it is still wild, and its general character is the same. Bradore Bay claims to be the site of the first settlement made on this continent by Europeans. Brest was and is its name, and 1508 is the alleged year of its foundation. The Vt/t^auMTwix are a curious group of picturesque limestone crags, having among them several hundred inhabitants. They lie between the western end of the island of Anticosti and the mainland. The Mome Biter ends the route of a weekly boat from Quebec. Here are quite extensive iron works, owned m Montreal, and a hotel where reasonably comfortable quarters may be had. The Bay of Seven Mands is ont of the most picturesque on the coast its rocky islands rising abruptly hundreds of feet above the water Anticmti has few attractions for visitors, and is indeed nearly uninhabitable in summer, on account of black flies and mos- quitoes. With the neighbormg coasts it has proved fatal to many vessels, and hundreds of castaways have perished on its inhospita- ble shores. There are now relief stations at convenient distances, BO that the terrible scenes of past years are not likely to be repeated. THE LOWER BT. lAWKENCB AKD THE 8AGUENAY BIVEE8 Are within the regular range of summer travel.

The charges at those are $3. 50 and |3.00 per day. There are many smaller hotels and boarding- houses, where the charges are still more moderate. Cacouna seldom knows hot weather. Its pure air, fine beach, and pictu- resque surroundings, render it an exceptionally healthful and attractive resort, and many Americans as well as Canadians make it their summer home. Cottages are springing up on all sides, and its future importance lo the tourist world promises greatly to exceed its present remarkable pi asperity. TH£ SAOUENAT BIVEB Joins the St. Lawrence liU miles from Quol)eo. Ifc is beyond question one of the most remarkable rivers in the world. From its mouth toChicoutimi, the head of steam navigation, its shores present a series of mighty cliffs and headlands, which rise in some instances to a height nearly equaling the width of the river. Its depth is l,0fK) feet or more, and its black waters hardly afford a practicable anchorage ground for a hundred miles. Ships of the largest size ascend for cargoes of lumber, and are obliged, when the wind changes, to go about and sail the other way, for the wind never blows across this rook-bouud stream. The steamer usually ascends the river at night, and descends by day- light If the traveler times his trip so as to secure a full moon, this is an admirable arrangement, but it is somewhat exasperating to pass ihrough such wonderful scenery on a dark night. At Tadounac, near the mouth of the river, is a large hotel (|3..504>er day), and there ore numerous private houses, occupied during the summer. Above this point on the Saguenay no accommodatioui 11 SKA-SIDK UKSORTS. for travelers exist, save such as can be obtained ia the houses ot the fuMlant aud logging camps. FBINCE EDWARD I81AHD.

The Gulf of St. Lawrence is separated from the Atlantic by the iBland. of Newfoundland and Cape Breton. These are but httle Tisitcd by travelers, although much that is mterestmg to the Tpoluan and tourist is to be found on their co,.,ts and m the.r foreste. Cape Breton is remarkable for its romantic -e^^J^' !^ bracing atmosphere, and for its historical nssoomtions.

NEW70TTHDLANI). The trip to and around this immense island is made by steamer from Halifax, and possesses an interest peculiar to itself. The coast is almost without exception abrupt and picturesque. The few harbors which open through tho wall of rock are ports of queer Ashing towns seldom visited by tourists, and tho interior is a vast forest intersected by rivers and broken by lakes which aro not yet fully explored. The capital, St. John's, is a city of 25,000 inhabitants, and has very pleasant and picturesque surroundings. The chief business of tho island is fishing, and St. .John's owes its prosperity to the trade with the "outports," as the other coast towns are in general designated. The St. Pierre and Miquelon islands, lying off the southern point of Newfoundland, are stiU under the French flag, being the sole remnants of her once wide American possessions. They are of considerable importance, being the rendezvous for an immense French fishing fleet and a depot of supplies. The French tele- graph cable I'uds here, and goes thence to Duxbury, Mass. NOVA SCOTIA. The north-eastern and south-eastern shores of the Bay of Fiuidy belong to this Province, which forms an extensive peninsula, joined with the mainland by an isthmus at Chignecto. The shores, both on the ocean and on the bay, are very mgged, but the latter are most attractive to the tourist, and are oftenest visited, being more accessible in coasting craft. The land is fertile along the bay, anC there are many farms and villages of a primitive charac- ter and very interesting to the tourist. The extensive mineral deposits of this region, consisting of coal, iron, copper, and gold, have of late attracted much attention from capitalists and acien- 18 ^i»j*i«a:-*Ji^-^:j-^"'^ y:'jii^V-'^.-v^0S^~^'^-.?-^<^^\^r^*'-\i!^'^^ UKA-HlUt: ItKSOltTii. tiflo men.

At all seiiaons of tho year the tides in this bay are extraordinary, and the visitor should always bear in mind tho possibility of being surrounded or cut off from shore by the in- coming waters.

OLD OBCHARD BEACH, Three miles from Saco Falls, has hotel accommodations for numer- ous visitors, and Scarborough Beiich, with the Atlantic and Kirk, toood Houses, is easily reached from the same station. Old Orchard Beach, so culled from an ancient orchard of apple-trees, four miles from Saco and Biddeford, is best reached by the Boston and Maine Railroad, the track of which runs between the great hotels and the beach. This beach has been called the finest in New England. It extends ten or twelve miles from Pine Point, at the mouth of Scarborough River, to the Saco River, with a breadth of 300 feet at low water. The sand is hard, smooth, and clean. The drive over it is charming. The bathing is without undertow and safe. Near the hotels is a forest park of thirty acres, with pleasant paths, arbors, and adornments. The neighborhood offers interest- ing rambles and drives, and the resort is said to be the most fashionable of those east of Hampton and Rye. The Old Orchard and the Ocean Houses are the largest, and every way first- clasa. The Gorham and the Montreal Houses are cheaper, but good houses.

In common with the sister town, Belfast, Castino offers its vi.sit- ors delightful sailing, fishing, hunting, and excursion trips to the islands in the adjacent bay. Camdm is a pretty village at the foot of a striking group of mountains, rising somo 1,4()0 feet above the sea. Its principal hotel is the Bay View House. BOCKLAND, Maine, Is located at the entrance of Penobscot Bay on the left, and ia known as one of the impori;ant lime regions of the country. Granite quarries largely engage the attention of the people of this section. Its Custom House and Post-Office Building is pnrticu- lariv noticeable, and is one of the finest in the State. Its hotels are 'the Lynde and Thorndike. The former, under the excellent management of George A. Lynde, Esq., is a very popular resort. The attention of the summer tourist is directed to the steamer Ulysses, running from Kockland in connection with the Knox and Lincoln Railroad, direct to Mount Desert) and Sullivan three times a week. The Stinford Steamship Co. also makes connection with above. The Ulysses is under excellent management, is staunch and commodious, and conducts the tourist along the wild and pictur- esque coast of Deer Isle to all the points of interest of Mount Des- ert to Sullivan. Sullivan hns a most inviting hotel, the Waukeag, which offers superior facilities to to\irists and pleasure seekers. MOTIHT DESERT ISLAND, Hanuook Co., Maine. Situated about foriiy miles south-east from Bangor, in what is known as Frenchman's Bay, Mount Desert Island, although only about twelve mUes wide by fifteen long, contains more elements of beauty arranged in a more picturesque way than any other island, large or small, on the Atlantic coast of the United States. It is in brief an insular range or collection of mountains, consist- ing of Bouiething like a dozen anite peaks, separated by valley, of great wildness and beauty, which often contain deep, cold, and clear lakes, or wild mountain brooks, where trout of the "gamest" description are found, and where the "dun deer" a 35 I 1 ill SEASIDE RK.SORTS. Btill quenches his thirst. The coast-line of the island is very irre- gular, now curving in long shiui^ly beachoH, and now broken into coves which are of wonderful variety in form and feature. As if not satisflod with giving this romantic island simply an exterior coast, liable to the lashings of ocean waves, nature has dividwl It nearly in two parts by the long, narrow, and tortuous waters of ISome'n Sound, deep enough to float large vessels, and sheltered by towering clitfs and wooded hills from every wind. Such are the giineral features of the island, combining, as some one has said, "the Isle of Shoals and Waohusett, Nahant and Monadnock, Newport and the Catskilla." The first settlement was made by the Jesuits, under a grant from Louis XIV., and very early in the history of the country the cross was raised in gratitude to God for a wonderful escape from shipwreck. Mount Desert is easily reached by boat from Portland ; but if the sea is rough, take cars to Rockland and wait for the boat. The climate of Mount Desert is very bracing, and fine weather may be usually counted upon until late in the season. The writer hereof can testify that at his last visit, in the middle of September, sea and sky and shore were in the full glory of summer. 3tr Harbor (P. O., Eden, Me.) is near the north-eastern ex- tremity of the island, and is the principal resort for visitors. It is, in short, a village of hotels, none of which can accommodate more than eighty guests. We append a partial list of these hoi' les .

The tourist will find ex- cellent accommodations at the Rodick Home. The location of the house is commanding, its rooms excellent, and its table unsur- passed on the island. Bar Harbor is a part of Frenchman's Bay, and is in the >ry midst of the finest land and water scenery on the island. Look- ing seaward from the comparatively level plain whereon the ho- tels stand, the eye takes in at a glance groups of rocky or tree- covered islands, the distant hills on the mainland, and beyond all, the blue horizon line of the ocean, broken only by the hardly -to- be -seen dot which marks Mount Desert Rock, and its light-house twenty miles distant.

The walk or ride to its summit, from liar Harbor, is not a hard one, and the view from the Tip-Top House, where sleeping ac- commodation!- can be had for a few guests, is not to bo matched on the Atlantic seaboard, for the simiile reason that it is not pos- sible elsewhere to place one's self nearly two thousand feet above tide-water, and within sound of the surf. The expanse of ocean visible from this mountain is so vast that all previou." concep- tions of an unbroken horizon are belittled in the comparison. Inland the view is of an entirely different character, but very wild and beautiful, covering, as it does, not only the nei>,'hbonng mountains, but the State of Maine as far north as Katalidm, and the coast in both directions for fifty miles or more. Amoii;v the objects of interest along the coast in the vicinity of Bar Harbor are Schooner Head, a promontory whose white cliffs bear some resemblance to a vessel under sail ; The OreM, s.iveral caves hol- lowed out by the joint action of water and frost; The Spouting Horn a cavern at the water's edge, which, after penetrating the cliff for some eighty feet, opens into a cleft in the rock, and makes a " spouting horn " which really justifies the name. In a gale the tumult of the waters hero is something wonderful, and even the effect of the ordinary ground-swell is impressive, although the "spouting" takes place only when the sea is very heavy. Within easy walking distance of the "Horn" is a remarkable cave, which can be entered only at low tide and in,calm weather. The floor of this cave is always covered by water to the depth of a few feet, but the detached boulders and ledges along the sides enable the visitor to examine the exquisite zoophites, or sea-ane- mones, of various colors, which cling to the rocks, and an infl- nite variety of sea-weeds, and other forms of submarine life, both animal and vegetable. Thunder Cave is another cavity in the rocky wall which bounds the island, into which the waves roU with great violence, producing now and then a report which is at once curious and startling.

It is reached by the International line of steamers, in connection with boats from Boston and from Portland, at six p.m on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays during the summer season, and on Mondays and Thursdays during the rest of the year.

Tho main entrance to this harbor is on the north-east, and is well pro- tected by Forts McGlary, Sullivan, and WaMngion. There are many islands in the harbor, some of which are connected with the mainland by bridges. The Piscataqua River was entered by an English captain, Martin Pring by name, in 1003, and twenty years later a settlement was formed on the site of the present city. The antique aspect of the town, its shaded streets, its com- fortable and venerable mansions, surrounded by spacious yards and gardens, make Portsmouth a most interesting place to see, and as it is in the immediate vicinity of many sea-side resorts, it is often visited by touriste. The oldest American newspaper, if we do not count some that died prematurely, is still published in Portsmouth— " The Now Hampshire Gazette." The United States Navy Yard is situated on Continental Inland, on the east side of the river, and Seavy's Island, near by, is occupied by the officers' quart3r8. Among the always interesting accessories of a navy yard, there is here an ingenious contrivance, known as a balance dry-dock. Among the other objects of interest are the church of St. John, the AtheniBum, the tomb of Sir William Pep- perell, and the old mansion of Governor Langdon. The railway connections are the Eastern Railway, and the DoHton and Maine ItaUway. Steamboats run to Boston and along the coast. Oppo- site is Kittery, Maine, where is the Ocean View Hotel. , ^ THE ISLES OF SHOALS, Oosport, Bookingham Co., New HampsMre. Hotels— 27te Appledore House and Oceanic Home. This group of islands is reached by steamer from Portsmouth, ten miles distant. It consists of eight islands, of which the largest contains some three hundred acres, and the smallest about one acre. They are for the most part covered with a thin soil. The three largest are known as Hog, Star, and Haley's Islands. Prior to the Revolution, some six hundred souls dwelt on these islands, and the community was considered a prosperous one, being largely engaged in fishing and commerce. There are two excellent hotels on the islands, the Appledore and the Oceanic, and it is by no means impossible, it this is crowded, to obtain 33 a a ■» r s i a 3 5! ? •% , 4 - — erh and rapid tides, ia in safely enter.

In approachiu),' the islanils, a wliite h'ne is seen which may at first bo mistaken for a beach, but which gradually resolves itsiilf into a belt of roaring breakers, which, year in, year out, churn tliemselves into foam along these rocky shores. As may be readily imagined, the isolated position of these islands does not commend them to the lovers of Newport and Long Branch, but they possess a fascinating jiower for all who can bo charmed by solitude and grandeur. Still-water baths are only to be had in the hotel bath- rooms, for the most sheltered coves on the islands ure hardly ever secure from the Atlantic rollers. A full account of the islands, their history, and their inhabitant* has been published by Celia Thaxter, a great part of whose life has been spent here, and whose pen has won her so wide a reputa- tion. Invalids are advised not to go direct to the islands from an inland residence, as the bracing properties of the air arc too much for delicate constitutions. After becoming accustomed to the coast air, however, that of the Shoals may be breathed and almost lived upon with the most beneficial results. All kinds of sea food ore abundant, as a matter of course, and the fishing and boating are superlatively good. a» 33 ^*«*» : ;; MASSACHUSEITS. BOSTON, Suffolk Co.

The metropolis of New England, and the second commercial city of America, occupies a peninsula lying between the Charles River and Boston Bay, which constitutes the ohl portion, or Boston proper, while included within the city limits are E,ist Boston and South Boston, the former being separated from Boston proper by a portion of the harbor, and the latter by a narrow creek, the outlet of " South Bay." On the south-west it is connected with Roxbury by what is called the " Neck," once a narrow isthmus, but now much enlarged, to make room for a rapidly mcreas.ng population. Its surface is very uneven, rising, at three different points, into elevations of considerable height. One of these, called Beacon Hill, is 138 feet above the sea level. It was called by the Indians " Shawmut," and by the early English settlers " Tre- mont," or "Trimont," appellations that still cling to some of its principal avenues. In part owing to the unevenness of its surface, and because it was originally laid out upon no systematic plan its streets are perhaps the most irregular of any city in the country. Recent improvements, however, have remedied some of those dofects, so that Washington and Tremont Streets, which are its principal thoroughfares and promenades, are convenient and capa- cious In November, 1872, a fire swept through the most solidly built part of the city, in the neighborhood of Kingston and Sum- mer Streets. A space of 50 acres was burned over, and some 870 000,000 worth of property destroyed.

The picturesque peninsula of Nahant was formerly the gay- est and most popular watering-place on the Massachusetts coast. Its pre-eminence ait a resort was brought to a sudden enu by the burning of its large and magnificent hotel, which has not been re- built. Then followed a period of decadence, when the neighbor- ing town of Swampscott became the popular resort of Bostonians. It has now in a measure reasserted its claims, and bids fair to re- gain its supremacy. The peninsula is formed by two rocky bluffs, known as ' ' Oredt and Little N- iruint." These are connected with each other, and with the maiuiund, by Long and tjliort Beaches. There are many private oottages on the bluffs, and camping parties make thu beaches populous during the summer ; but the crowd of fashionables only visit their former haunts for a drive, or for a stay ef a few hours. The Garden of Maolis is a tract of twenty acres laid out in walks and adorned with fountains, to which the public is admitted for a fee of twenty-five cents. Its founder was Mr. Tuder, who made a great fortune in the ice trade. The rocks at the extremity of the peninsula have been worn by the waves into fantastic grottoes, castles, pulpits, natural bridges, and romanUc nooks. Egg Itock is a barren island rising fron^ the ocean three miles to seaward from Great Nahant. It hct a light- house, and saiUng parties often direct their course to its rocky and somewhat dangerous landing-place, and view with curiosity the hermit-like household arrangements of the light-keeper's family. On some of the other less desolate islands in the vicinity, there are small hotels and facUities for bathing. Lynn is the nearest station to Nahant on the Eastern Railway, and carriages are al- ways available for those who are not disposed to take one of the most charming walks on the coast.

There is an Episcopal (3hapel at Lynn, within easy riding distance. The hotels named at iho beginning of this chapter are all good ones, although none of them are so large as the great carivansaries at Newport or Long Branch. They are all near the ocean, some being directly on the shore, and others on commanding elevations near by. The hotel accommodations represent only a fraction of the whole lodging capacity of the place, as may be readily surmised from the num- ber of carriages which surround the station on the arriviU of any afternoon train from Boston. SALEM, Essex Co., Mass. 16 miles from lh»ton. From Portland 92. HoTELS-ffMfti. Home, Derby Home. As the first permanent settlement in the old Massachusetts colony, Salem has an historical interest peculiar to itself. It was first settled in 1630. and with the arrival of John Endi;;ott, two years later, its growth toward commercial importance began. In 1092 that remarkable delusion known as the Salem witchcraft, checked for a time the development of the village, and caused what may almost be described as a reign of terror throughout the vicinity. Twenty persons charged with witchcraft were executed on what is still called Gallows Hill. At the Court-House, among other relics of that singular superstition, is a bottle of pins which, according to the record, were taken from the persons of sundry bewitched individuals. The house of Roger Williams, where some of the examinations were conducted, is still standing. Pre- vious to the Revolution the inhabitants were largely engaged in fisheries, ^nd did good service as privateersmen during the war. This over, and independence gained, they devoted themselves tq commerce, and Salem ships and sailors became known and cele- brated in every quarter of the globe.

The Custom Ilonso is a somewhat antiquated and now rather a superfluous structure, but is interesting to litterateurs as the place wliere Hawthorne passed much of his time in a semi-ofHoial dream, while engaged in writing some of the most charming of his earlier works. Salem is reached via the Eastern linilroad, or by boat from Boston. Passengers for Marblehead leave the maic line here and take a train on the branc h road. MARBLEHEAD, Eh»t Co., Kasa. 20 mtlafrwn Ihnton. Hotels — Fo;:*yth JIousi, EUlrulge Home. Who has not heard the name and ''nine of Marblehead boats and fishermen ? Many a bold fellow ' om this hardy town has laid down his life for his country in every war which has occurred since 1030, when it was first settled. A full regiment of Marble- head men served in the Revolution, and the towns-people boast that its proportion of soldiers in the Secession War was greater than that of any other town in the Union. The village is situa- ted on a headland jutting out into the sea, and commands on extended view in all directions.

All kinds of salt-water tish and game abound in their re- spective seasons. On June 2.')th. 1H77, Marblehead suffered the ordeal by ilre. and lost a large proportion of her mo,'*t valuable buildings, including factories, churches, and hotels. Her pros- perity received thereby a serious cht:ck. hiwHl hUind is a pleas- ant rocky sojourning place, about a mile off the Mori)lehead coast, and having a good hotel oi>en during the season.

COTUIT FOBT, Barnatable Co., Mosi. 70 milex from ffontoii. Hotkl — JSdntuit Hoiue. Overlookmg Martha's Vineyard Sound, and in the midst of a charming country, Cotuit Port is admirably suited for a resort. The village is a small one, and possesses in itself but few attrac- tions to the tourist, but the Sdutuit Home makes the place a very desirable summer residence. The building is fitted with well- ventilated and well-furnished rooms, wide piazzas, and all the appointments which can be reasonably expected in a first-class hotel. Charges, |H a duy ; $10 to $15 a week. Several fur- nished cottoges are to be had on application to Mr. J. Coleman, the proprietor of the house. The surroundings of Cotuit Port are quite remarkable. The beautiful harbor, with its islands, is spread out before the hotel, affording ample space for sailing and excellent grounds for fishing. Within a radius of four miles are no less than thirty fresh-water ponds ; among which may be mentioned Wakely Lake, thickly studded with islands, and Kano- mut Lake, noted for its picturesque beauty. As may be readily inferred, the drives around and among these charming ponds are of almost unequalled variety. The bathing-houses are within five minutes' walk of the hotel, affording good opportunities for still- bathing. The ocean beach, with surf-bathing, is one mile dis- tant. Deer, foxes, rabbits, quail, plover, etc. , etc. , are to be hunted in their season, and blue-fiah, Spanish mackerel, rock and striped bass, and all their briny relatives, are caught in abun- dance. The village has a "Union" church, where services are a 4'J SEA-SIDE RESORTS. held by the different denominations in turn, or as opportunity occurs. To reach Cotuit Port take the Old Colony RiUimy to Middleboro'. and thence to West Barnstable, where stages to the " Port," six miles distant, are always awaiting the arrival of trains. '' YABKOUTH, Barnstable Co., Maw. This town was once of considerable commercial importance, but is now a sleepy old seaport with some 2,500 inhabitants, of whom, by the way, one in t.u served in the Union army in the war of the rebeUion. A branch R. R. runs hence to Hy annis on the South Shore. HYANNIB, Barnstable Co., Mass. 79 miles from Boston. UoTKi.fi-Iyanough Home, Hallet House. Hyannis is equally a report for sportsmen and tourists. There is capital plover and snipe shooting in the season. The fish- ing is not paiticularly good, but rather better for the fresh than for the salt water kinds. The Baptist, Congregational, and Urn- versalist societies have churches in the village. About Hyannis are some excellent beaches at the foot of high bluffs covered with beautiful groves. The steamer line formerly running from this place to Nantucket has been discontinued, and the point of de- parture from the main-land to that place is now at Woods Hole. CMtham connects by stage with the railroad at Harwick, seven miles distant. The vUlage is in full sight of the (K^ean and the ceaseless passing of vessels adds much to the life and variety of the seaward view. The surf and still bathing are good, as are also the fishing and shooting. WEIIFIEET, Barnstable Co., Mass. 60 miles from Boston. Roi%\.—IIolbrook'sIMd. Wellfleet is surrounded by the characteristic sand hiUs of the region, but is swept by breezes as pure and strengthening as ever were breathed.

RoT]iha—Oifford, Central, Pit- grim, Atlantic. Here we are at the extremity of that remarkable arm-shaped strip of land with which, as somebody has said, '• Massachusetts is perpetually ' squaring off ' at the rest of the world. " Province- town is the doubled and inward bent fist of this arm. Tho vil- lage was settled about 1700, and it is not very complimentary to the attractive character of the country that in 1727, and for some time thereafter, the inhabitants were exempted by law from tax- ation ; notwithstanding which beneficent provision the population was, in 1748, reduced to two or three families. The salt and fishing trade, however, restored its prosperity, and now the village stretches for two miles along the beach, and is blessed with a reasonable degree of prosperity. The harbor of Provincetown was the first resting-place of the May-flower on her tedious voyage to Plymouth, in 1620. Daily boats run to and from Boston ; and this quaint and peculiar port is visited by many tourists. FALUOTTTH, Barnstable Co., Mau.

MorKhB-Parker Uoiue, Mansion Howie. This city stands on the west side of the Acushnet River, which empties into Buz/.ard's Bay. Although its fleet is less than half its former tonnage, it still deserves the title of the Whaling City. Large manufactories have taken the place of the whaling busi- ness, among them the Wamsutta Mills, whose cotton cloth is not excelled in the country. The situation of New Bedford affords fine views of the harbor, an.l of Fair Haven, opiKisito, the termi- nuf. of the Fair Haven Branch Railrowl. The town is neatly laid out, contains an imposing Town Hall and Custom House, a num- ber of churches, a public library, and a theatre L-^-ge jrater- work.s have been constructed, at an expense of about f 700,WM», although there is a plentiful supply of excellent well-water. The drives about the town are unusually attractive, that around Clark's Point being five miles long, and along the margin of the Bay for its entire distance. This drive is kept perfectly smooth, and is a charming resort for visitors. New Bedford is connected by steamers or B. R. with Boston, Providence, and Fall River. There is a regular steamer to Martha's Vineyard.

The origin of its name is unknown, but it is probable that Martha waH a friend of the Captain's. It is only within a ftiw years that the peculiarly salubrious climate of this island has become known to the publiu. Tiio MethoilistM wore the ttrst, after the permanent residents, to make the discovery, and they established a campground at Oak Bluffs. Gradually people came earlier and stayed later us they learned the advantages of the climate ; cottages were built, the non-Methodist world came in, and now at the height of the season there aro 20,000 to ;J0,000 persons on the ground. The season culminates during oamp-meeting week in the latter part of August, but the old extravagancies of the traditional oarap-meeting have long since disappeared, and the religious services are decorously con- ducted under the leadership of the moat distinguished preachers of this powerful and well-organized denomimition. The city of cottages at Oak Bluffs is a great curiosity, and the life of the cot- tagers is exceptionally free from care and from the complicationa which are the bane of fashionable resorts. The fashionable life of the place centres in and around the tka View Hotel, a large and admirably appointed buUding with all the modern couveni- ences. Ita rate is |4.50 per day. The other hotels are the lliyh- laiul Ilouie, Bixter, Pawnee, Central, Island, Grocer, etc. These, with the exception of the first, which is a hotel, are mainly res- taurants, but all have small sleeping rooms to let. As restaurants, most of them are excellent, and the prices are moderate. Fur- nished cottages may be rented for the season from |100 upward. There ' no boarding-houses, in the ordinary meaning of the term, '-r , rooms can be rented at $1 a day co many of the cot- tage Meals are usually obtained at the restaurants. There is little or no surf on the bathing beach at Oak Bluffs, except when the wind is from the eastward. The water is very clear and buoyant, holding in solution an unusually large percentage of salt. ' Blue-fish are caught in great abundance within esisy sailing distance, and the other kinds of coast fish aro found along the reefs and harbors. The Baptists have established a camp ground on an elevation known as the Highlands, west of the Bluffs ; and another city promises to make its appearance there in due time. 53 SKA-SIDK UESORTS.

During King I'hilii>'s War, Providence had • hard struggle for existence, and was at one time nearly dc- ttroyed; but during the lie volution it was ,.ro.sperous, and the foundotions of its present wealth and prosperity were laid. The eity is situated thirty-five miles from tho Atlantic Ooean, at the head of Narragansett Bay, on and between its two northern arms, called Seckonk and Providence Rivers. Uunning into the latter, at its upper extremity, the Cove, in the centre of tho city, are tho Moshassuck and Wonasquatucket Uivers. «y the viilleys of these itroams and the Providence River the city is divided into thrco distinct portions, of different beights above tide-water. The inost eastern portion rises to an elevation of 304 feet, and is called Prospect or College Hill.

Providence is highly distinguished for its literary and educational institutions. Broion Univerdty was originally founde.l at Warren in 1704, and removed to Providence in 1770 It is situated on College Hill, east of Providence Kiver, and commands an extensive, varied, and beautiful prospect of the city, harbor, and surrounding country. It comprises five princi- pal buildings, namely, Manning Hall, in which is the library, con- taining 313,000 volumes ; Rhode Island Hall, containg the cabinet, chemical and philosophical apparatus, and lecture-rooms; Uni- versity Hall and Hop. College, two large four-story edifices, oc- cupied by students, and the laboratory, a large two-story brick and brown-stone building, recently built, and containing the most approved appliances and apparatus for chemical studies. Con- nected with the University is a scientific school, established for the benefit of those who do not wish to pursue a classical course. Brown stands among the first colleges in the country in its faciU- ties for instruction, and the character and ability of its faculty. The I'ublie Sc/woli of Providence have obtained a high reputation for the thoroughness and efiiciency of their training. They have been fostered with laborious care and at a liberal expense. The Fneiidi' Yearlii Meeting Boarding-school is beautifully situated on the eastern slope of Prospect Hill, occupying about forty-three acres of grounds. The buildings are large and commodious. The institution is liberally endowed, and is in a highly prosperous con- dition. A large part of the capital o^vned in the city is employed in manufacturing enterprises in the immediate vicinity, the various rivers which abound in the neighborhood affordin;;- abun- dant water-power. Among the most important of the works may be mentioned the American Screw Company, the Corliss Stcam- Engine Works, the Atlantic Delaine Mills, and the Oriental Mills.

This has slanJ, and by that name he commercial prosperity of t.lie country, when, ne ouo of the priticipal rivalled New York in its RHODE ISLAND. general commerce, and surpassed it in the special branches of whaling and trade with Africa and the Indies. It is painful to add that many of the fortunes which were accumulated by citizens of Newport were the result of a vigorous prosecution of the African slave trade. On the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, Now- port was to a great extent deserted by its inhabitants, and being left in a defenceless state, was occupied by the British for the three years succeeding 1770. It was used for the most part as a naval station, though some 8,000 English and Hessians were during most of the time either quartered in the town or encamped in its suburbs. When the town was evacuated, many buildmgs were wantonly destroyed. At this time the inhabitants numbered o"ly about 4,000 souls ; and although efforts were at once made to' restore its prosperity as a commercial port, it never recovered from the depressing effects of British occupation. It is unfor- tunate that the town records were either carried off or destroyed by the British, for ^vith them was lost the only source of ii^or- mation regarding the glory of ante-revolutionary Newport. The town still contains many objects of historical interest and evidences of the liberal-mmdedness of her citizens The Rou.ul Tower, to begin with tb . edifice which has presumably the greatest antiquity, stands in the centre of an open lot, surrounded by an iron railing, and is carefully guared from the spoilers by the city authorities. Its origin is sufficiently shrouded in mystery to justify every one m his or her own opinion. Matter-of-fact people can call it Bene- diet Arnold's Mill, and point to his will, wherein a " Stone-built Wind Mill" is mentioned; but, on the other hand, those who incline to the more romantic view, can claim that even Benedict Arnold knew better than to build a mill supported on seven detached columns. Mr. Longfellow, in his poem " The Skeleton in Armor " connects this tower with a skeleton clad m rusty armor which was discovered some years ago at Fall River, Ma^. ; and as there are several facts which indicate that the Norsemen landed in this vicinity long b.fore the discoveries of Columbus, no one who wishes to look upon the tower as the work of the Vikings and their followers, need hesitate to do so. Whoever desires to investigate the subject farther, will find it fu^ly dis- cussed in a pamphlet published by Charles E. Hammet, of New- 61 .^l: SEA-SIDE RESORTS. port, and entitled " The Stone Mill Controversy." The Redieood Library, near the Opera House, was established by Abraham Redwood in 1750. It originated in connection with a literary and philosophical society, which was instituted when Bishop Berkeley lived on the island, and of which the Bishop was a prominent and illustrious member. A donation of £500 for this society by Abra- ham Redwood, for the purchase of standard works, laid the foundation for the library. The building is of the Doric order of architecture, and contains, besides the library of some 15,000 volumes, a valuable collection of paintings and statuary. It has since received valuable additional gifts from time to time, and the building has been enlarged and improved. It is a place of general resort, and a great boon to the reading public. Strangers are allowed a free entrance, and will find much heri- that will in- terest them. Trinity Church was built early in the laat century, and stands upon the site of the first Ejuscopal place of worship erected on the island. Hero Washington, Lafayette, and other revolutionary worthies attended divine service. Its ancient and quaint appearance, with its high-backed pews, its pulpit in the centre of the congregation, its venerable organ, presented to the church by Bishop Berkeley on his return to Dublin, contrast strangely with the modern inventions for a refined worship found in tlie sanctuaries of today. Around it, in the old cemetery, rest the ashes of not a few illustrious men. The Jewish Synagogue, on Touro Street, was built in 1672, and until the Revolution was regularly opened for worship. It was then the only place in New England where Hebrew was chanted and read at the weekly ser- vice. At that time there were many Jewish families of wealth upon the island. Abraham Touro left $20,000 in the hands of the city authorities, the interest of which is, in accordance with the wishes of the testator, expended in keeping the synagogue, the grounds, and the street leading to them in repair. Washington Square is the principal square in Newport, and contains the City Hall. Commodore Perry's House, the Mall— an inclosed triangular piece of ground, shaded with trees— and other public buildings.

From its rooms and cupola some of the grandest and most extensive views of the ocean and harbor can be obtained. Block Island, thirty miles to the south- west, and several smaller islands in Narragansett Bay, are visible in clear weather. The hotel is nicely furnished, and affords ample space upon its wide piazzas for pleasant promenades A fine band of music is usually employed for the season, and the Ocean House hops and baUs are reckoned among the most brdliant entertainments of our American summer resorts. The price of board is $4.50 per day, with special rates, according to rooms, by the week or season. The house opens about the last of June. The Firxt Jimch is nearest to the hotels, most available for bathing purposes, and is the favorite resort for promemulers and spectators, as well as for bathers. This beach is lined with bathing-houses, for the use of which a small fee is charged ; and as the sand composing the beach is of the whitest and hainlest and cleanest, it is no wonder that thousands resort thither daily at high tide, and, arrayed in the most fantastic and brilhant dresses, mdulge in the healthful and charmmg exercise of surf- bathing. On a fine day in midsummer this 1>«"«»^ ff ^« "« amusing a spectacle as can be found on the coast. 'rheJJl.Jf terminates this beach. It is a picturesque collection of gray rocks, pUed in every possible shape, and affording numberless quiet nooks where one may sit and enjoy the beauty of sea and shore Near the northern extremity oi the bluff is a deep chasm, known as " Purgatory." It was probably formed by the washing away of the softer portion of the rock, leaving the hard, conglom- erate gray rocks in the most ragged and fantastical shapes im- aginabfe The chasm is one hundred and sixty feet long, and fifty feet deep at the outer end. In some places it ,s only eight feet wide at the top, and occasionally some .ulventurous or tool- hardy person leaps, or attempts to leap, across it. As one side is higher than the other, this is no easy task. Near by are the Hanging Rocks, "within whos. shadow it is said that Bishop Berkeley wrote his Minute Philosopher^ Sachuset Reach stretches eastward from the Bluff. In its general characteristics it is simi- lar to Easton's Beach, being in an equal degree exposed to the force of the Atlantic waves. This beach terminates in Sachw^et OH SKA-SIDE RKSOHTS. Point. During the Revolution, a Britiph guard boat was stationed off this point to blockade the East River. She was captured, with all hands on board, by Major Talbot, and a party of Ameri- cans. Singularly enough, not a life was lost on either side. Sachuset Point is a favorite place with fishermen for tautog oi black-fish. These are caught from the rocks in great abundance. The immediate vicinity is a feeding-ground for the nobler game of bass and horse-mackerel, the capture of which requires con- siderable skill, and affords exciting sport. BcUeeue and Ocean Aeenueg offer an uninterrupted drive of many miles along the coast, with the Atlantic in full view for almost the entire distance. Carroll Arenne leads to the l^wuUng Horn, a romantic spot where, during southeasterly gales, the scene is described as very magnificent, the sea dashing up in a terrific manner through a rocky chasm. Near by is LiUy Pond, the largest sheet of fresh water on the island. The pond is well supplied with perch, which may be taken from the shore with an ordinary rod and line. At the foot of CcUcvue Avenue is a boat-house, and beyond this is an infinite variety of beaches, rocky promontories, and sheltered inlsts, affording numerous sites for cottages and villas, which line this part of the coast. TJie Glen, six miles from Newport by the East Bond, is a favorite re- sort for the lovers of nature. It may be reached by several roads besides the one mentioned, each possessing beauties peculiar to itself. The Glen is a deep valley shaded by a dense growth of forest trees, through which a brook runs, adding, by the musio of its mimic falls end rapids, to the sylvan attractions of the place. Fort Adnms, situated on Brenton Point, south of Newport, is easily reached by land or water, the latter being the most popular route. This is one of the largest permanent works in the United States. It was begun in 1814, and finished in 1800. It is capa- ble of mounting 408 heavy guns, and its maximum garrison is 3,000 men. It may be visited at all hours of the day. It is, in fact, quite the thing to drive or sail to the fort of an afternoon hear the band play, witness the ceremony of dress ppjade, and return before sunset.

NAKEAOAUSETT PIEE, Washington Co., E. I. This resort has wholly developed since 1850, when, os tradition hath it, the first family of boarders took up their quarters in a farm- house. Since that time visitors have multiplied, until now there are hotels and boarding-houses by the score, and even old hab- itues look patronizragly across the bay at Newport. The Totoer mil Home is the principal hotel. It stands on an elevation which commands a superb view, and its appointments and surroundings are most complete and satisfactory. It is at a considerable dis- tance from the shore, to which, however, horse-cars run. Of the multitude of other hotels and boarding-houses, we may mention the Wholej/, Narragamett, Elmmmd, Sea Vuw, Metolo.rct, and Ocean houses, where guests find entertainment at various prices. The Continental, Mt. Hope, and Mathemon'n, charging |,3 per day or $18 per week ; and the Atlantic, Attwood, lievere, Huzard, Maxon, Mansion, Delevan, charging $3.50 per day, or |15 per week. Most of them accommodate 50 to 100 guests each. The denizens of Narragansett Pier profess to be less given to style than their neighbors at Newport, and the mode of liCe is decidedly more simple. The ftshiug is the great attraction for gentlemen, as fine bass, tautog, and other fish are taken with rod and line from the rocks. The bathing is good, but the surf is nob BO fine as at Newport. It is not without cause that this resort has attained such cele- brity and become so popular ; for its position, central to so many populous cities, its fine beach, both for driving and bathing, its good fishing and sailing, make its advantages marked. But the traditional good fellowship of its society, the absence of tedious and often cold and repelling foi malitiea, the jolly and generous character of its amusements, the absence of any law requiring ladies to dress six times a day, or fining gentlemen found in blue shirM on the piazzas of an afturnoou ; in short, the sensible and kind sociability of guests constitutes the charm, as it also makes the Bucctsw of Narragansett Pier. The view from the heights is r' sKA.siD% n Eson TS. eBpooially wlmired, including many villages and a hundred miles of horizon. The ocean uud the Buy, with all their cbunb-in^' phusos of 8tormaud calm, their white sails of comtuorco and of pleasure.

It stands but a short distance from tho railroad station, on the right as you pass up to the village. This house was used as a fort for some time to defend the inhabitants from tho hos- tile Indians. Within its walla the first marriage which took place in this town was solemnized, and in contrast with the extrava- gance of the present day, tradition hath it that the wedding-feast consisted of pork and beans. Only a very few buildings in tho country can outrank it in age, and to all appearances it will last a century or so longer. The Paoilion Hold, at Guilford Point, is an unpretending yet very popular watering-place. The house stands quite near tbo shore, upon a slight elevation, and car- riages are alway.i waiting at the station to convey passengers thither durinp the summer months. It particularly excels in the excellence of its table. First-class fishing and bathing facilities are aifordcd, and the bathiug-houdes and beach are near at hand. The charges are $3 per d.iy. Nearly all the families living near the shore open their houMes for boarders during the summer mouths, at lower rates than those which are charged at the hotels. Siirhem'a Head, w promontory three miles southwest of Guilford, is an admirable site for a hotel, but it is at present vacant; the fine house, which formerly attracted many guests, having been burned. The "Head" is, however, a pleasant place to visit, has a good beach for bathing, and heavy black-fish about its wave- worn rocks. Seward Cottage is a unique and cozy little private villa, picturesquely situated on the knoU overlooking the Sound. The Thimble Islands are within easy rowing distance of this place, and Falkner's Island, with its satellite, Gull Island, are visible in mid-Sound, and form an objective point for sailing parties.

Pine Orchard, one mile and a half from the village, is the rendezvous for picnic parties from aU over the back country, and a verjr pleasant spot it is, consisting of a considera- ble bluif overlooking the Sound und shaded by a grove of pines. Nearer the village, indeed just off the harbor mouth, is Hundy Point, which is not a point, but a cedar-covered island, where- nnto chowder-parties do numerously resort, and whither Clinto- nians and sojourners within their borders are accustomed to re- pair on pleasant summer evenings. Clinton is on the Shore Line Railroad, and is easily reached from New Haven or New London, where connections are made with other raUroads, or with New York steamboats. SAYBBOOK, Middlesex Co., Conn-, 100 mUesfrom New York. Hotkl— iVeJO Saybrook Home. The combined names of the English noblemen. Lords Say and Brooke, were given to the town soon after a royal patent to this territory was granted to them and iheir heirs forever by the Earl of Warwick. The vUlage is built along the first elevated land to the west of the Connecticut River, which hero falls into the Sound. The population is largely made up of retired merchants and sea- captains, whose comfortable houses line the shaded street. N avi- gation of the river is somewhat impeded by a bar at the mouth, which at the highest tides, is covered by Uttle more than twelve feet of water. The remains of a fort, built long ago to command the month of the river to protect the town from hostile Indians, are to be seen near Saybrook Point, a narrow peninsula stretching 79 ill. HEA-8WK RKHOHTS. out into the Sound. Not far from the fort is the tomb of Lady Penwick, the (laughter of Sir Edward ApHley, of England, and wife of Col. Fenwick, who may bo considered the founder of the. colony. The date of her death is unknown, as the tomb very singularly bears no inscription ; but the fact that she left a luxu- rious English home to share with her husband the perils of the New World, has always lent a romantic interest to her history. Col. Fenwick, who returned to England after his wife's death, was one of the judges at the trial of Charles I. Yale College was established at Saybrook, in 1700. A large building, one story high and eighty feet long, wos erected. Fifteen commencements were held here, when, after an exciting contest, it was removed to New Haven. In 1708 the fam.ous Saybrook Platform waa adopted, for the government of the churches, by the ecclesiasti- cal dignitaries who haii issembled to attend the annual com- mencement An assooiati. known as the " New Saybrook Com- pany," has been formed ami incorporated under the laws of Con- necticut, with a view to purchasing a tract of land a little west of the mouth of the river, laying it out in drives and walks, and erecting thereon a large hotel and various cottages. Most of the stockholders are residents of Hartford or of the river towns, and the design is to provide a desirable place of sea-side resort within easy reach. Two or three miles from its mouth the Connecticut River becomes highly picturesque, winding for many miles between beautiful wooded hills and rocky shores, varied now and then by meadows of the richest verdure. The raUway connec- tions are via the Shore Line and Connecticut VaUey roads. The New York and Hartford boats touch regularly at Saybrook, though at rather inconvenient hours for pleasure travel ; and the steamer Sunshine, running from Hartford to New London und the eastern portion of Long Island, makes tri-weekly trips. 3?

Hotels— C/vjcAo/- Ilo'itc (ind I'cquot Home. The vicinity of New London offers many attractions to stran- gers, and the city itself is a very delightful place to live in. Before describing the neighboring resorts, we say in regard to the city, that its pleasantest streets aro on the heights, where many handsome residences .are built, some of them overlooking the magnilicent harbor. When the whale-fishery was in its glory, New London was a busy place ; but now the arrival or departure of a square-rigged ship stirs 'long shore society toils very founda- tions. The harbor is one of the finest on the Atlantic coast, ad- mitting vessels of the heaviest tonnage, seldom or never freezing, and containing excellent anchorage ground. It is defended by Forts Trumbull and Gris wold, the former being a regular fortifica- tion, with bastions and casemates, and the latter, on the east side of the harbor, a simple 'oattery. New London was .settled in 1044 by John Winthrop, sou of Governor Winthrop, of Massachu- setts, and incorporated in 17H4. Its early name was Pequot. after a large and powerful tribe of Indians that originally held this terri- tory. Sassacus, a great sachem of this tribe, figured in this vicin- ity, and made walking out alone a rather dangerous amu.sement during the early days of the .=!9ttlement. lu 1781, a large part of the town was burned by the British, under Benedict Arnold, and the State devoted certain we.stem reserve lauds to the relief of the houseless inhabitants. The Crocker House is one of the finest hotels in Connecticut.

New I.uudon hiis it to some extent, and Stonington has it in a chronic form. Almost every one lives in a comfortable house, originally built, in nine cases out ol t'.;n, by a retired sea- captain ; in nearly every parlor are carved ornaments brought from the ends of the earth, and still diffusing odovs of sandalwood and of the Spice Islands ; every elderly man lurches as he walks, is called " Captain," and can tell you, without looking, which way the wind is at any hour of the day or night. Half a century ago the town monopolized the seal-trade, vessels of forty or fifty tons burden going all over the ocean, while its whaling toimage was second onh- to that of Newport.

The firBt city of the WcHtora lle.ninphero in popuUtion, wealth, and cou.merce, is situated on Manhattan Island, fifteen n.iles in length, and from one to two miles in breadth. On the west is the Hudson Uiver ik.iown in the neighborhood of the city as the •' North River"), and on the east the Eaat River, which latter is in fact a strait connecting the Bay with Long Island Sound. The noctheru boundary of the island is formed by the Harlem River andSpuyten Duyvil Creek, two names for different portions of the same narrow estuary which unites the Hudson with the East River. At the southern extremity of Manliattan Island i.s the Bay of New York, universally acknowledgiul to be one of the finest harbors in the world. Standing on the Battery and lookmg southeast, the view is one of exceeding beauty, as well as of un- surpassed bustle and activity. Directly in front of the spectator, and about two-tWrds of a mile fro.n the city, is Governor s Island a nearly circular piece of land, about half a mile in diameter and e,ntai„ing seventy-two acres of land. It belongs to the Federal Government, and is used as a military station, lo the sou h- west, and about one mile and a half from the Battery, are Ellis and Bedloe's Islands, both of which were formerly the property of the Government, and strongly fortified Bedloe's Island was Kivrn to the city in 1870 for the site of a colossal statue of Liberty to be presented by the people of France. Five and a half miUs southward is the beautiful Staten Inland, dotted from end to end with elo-aut roHidonces and tasteful grounds and gardens. Look- ing eastward, the spectator beholds the city of Brooklyn, sitting proudly on its far-famed heights, and westward the Jersey shore ^:ith its vanous towns and cities. It is not however, with such a city as New York that we are now especially concerned, for al- 87 SEA-SIDE RESORTS. thouKh it is the moHt populoun. if not the most popular, of all IZ en the Atlantic c..u«t, even .luring tho do^-duy. the ut.no Btretoh of ium,rination fails to juntify us m duHHing .t an a «ea "' Tirfour'diBtinot linen of Boa-coast, nuliuting from Manhattan Island a« a centre, ,ive New York advanta.en, in the way o Bca.

LONG ISLAND. Were it not for Long Island, the sea-coast of the Empire State would be limited to the paltry forty miles, more or less, wh, eh lie between the State lines of Connecticut and New Jersey. This isk. 1, however, with its outer and inner beaches, g.ves it a coast of some humlred of miles, which extent is mdehmtely increased, if wo measure the countless inlets and bays which lend variety to its shores. Although so near to the prmc.pal city of the-New Worid, and withal so important to its welfare n. many respects. Long Island, or, asthe Indians called it, " Sewanhao^a (the Island of Sheila), was comparatively a terra xncogmta U> New Yorkers and the rest of the world until railroads began to develop its resources as an agricultural country, its advantages as a site for innumerable homesteads, and its great attractions in the wuy of sea-side resorts. The Lon.j Muni Railroad is one of the old- est roads in the country, and now embraces, cither as owner or lessee, nearly the whole railway system of the island, including branches on the north side as far as Port Jefferson, and on the south to Patohogue. These are described in the proper order ni the following pages, and may be found by reference to the :i ■-ex. The western terminus is at Hunter's Point, on the l|ast .. . V opposite New York, and is reached by ferry from the foov, .£ Thirty-fourth Street, or from James' Slip. East River, the boats running all day at short intervals.

For fifty miles or thereabout oast of New York the north shore is almost as ra.ich indented by bays and coves as is the coast of Nor- way by ftords, and some of these almost land locked harbors arc very beautiful. Uv far the pleasantest way to reach any given point east of Port Jeffcr.son is by boat from New York, although the nuiekest way is in many o=u«=s by raU.

(Comfortable cottages line these stree s ,nd the visitor cannot fail to be impressed with the air of tin ft ,„,d prosperity which the place presents. The principal trade of Babylon is in fish, which are caught in great quantities by proles- sion'als and amateurs in the bay and waters adjacent. riRE ISLAND. Babylon P 0. Hotel— A'u// Hotd. Tourists may avoid inconvenience by purchasing through tickets for Fire Island at New York. Stages will be found in waiting at Babvlon to convey passengers to the steamboat lan^i ing a mile dis'tant.

The Atlantic, with its tumbling' surf on one side and the (luiet waters of the South Bay on the other, afford the two vari- eties of salt water bathing in perfection, and a large fleet of sail- boats offer accommodations to lovers of fishing and sailing. The lighthouse, which stands near the hotel, is one of the finest structures of the kind on the coast, and every precaution is taken to render its service perfectly trustworthy, as it is usually the first light seen from inward-bound European steamers, and is often the point whence the captains of outward-bound vessels take their " departure." Probably more amateur fishermen have had their first tu.ssle with a full-grown blue-fish off Fire Island lolet than at any other one place on the coast. No one who has caught only the smaller individuals, which frequent bays and sounds, can form an idea of the muscular force, as well as con- Munimate skill, required to land, or rather boat a large blue-fish. To those who have this pleasure still before them, we cordially commend Fire Island, where every facility is afforded for enjoy- ing the sport under the most favorable circumstances. The hotel rates are from $12 to $25 per week, and there are several cot- tages available for families at special rates. The Western Union Telegraph Company has a station at the hotel for use of the guests, which is a great convenience to business men. Bni/nltnre is the next station beyond Babylon, with a number of small hotels charging from $'5 to $12 per week. ISLIP, Suffolk Co., N. Y. 43 miles from New York. Hotels — P(icU:hn, Lake limine. Many wealthy New Yorkers have summer residences in and near this village, and although possessing no special attraction as a sea-side resort, it is much visited during the warm weather. There are valuable trout ponds at Islip, and much money has been expended in developing the art of trout culture, to the end that the proprietors and their friends may indulge in their favor- ite sport in its highest perfection. The iSout/i Side Club has its rendezvous near a station of this name, forty-seven miles from New York. Members only are received at the Club House, which !I4 SORTS.

Patchoguo is named after the Indians who once inhabited the vicinity. It stands on the shores of Patchogue 15ay, and besides being an active biistling village, is attractive enough in its acces- sories of land and water to draw together a considerable number of summer sojourners. Here is the terminus of the Southern Railroad, practically a prolongation of the Ilockaway Branch, over which there are daily four through trains to and from the city. The waters of the South Bay afford good fishing here as everywhere, and the fresh ponds in the vicinity may be fished with reasonable prospects of perch and pickerel, while trout are found in the streams—not, however, in great abundance except where they are preserve?. Patchogue does not boast of its bathing facilities, although the still- wnter bathing is good of its kind. It is, moreover, a pleasant sail across to Fire Island beach, where the surf rolls in as superbly as at Newport or Long Branch, and bathers can be knocked over and rolled about on the sand in the most approved style. The climate is healthful beyond all cavil, and the inhabitants even go so far as to claim that neither mosquitoes nor fever-and-ague are indigenou.s. The hotels charge $10 to $13 per week, and are quite good. There are several boarding-houses, where prices range from $7 to $10 per week. BELIPORT, Suffolk Co , N- Y . situated on Heliport Bay, forms the eastern end of the great South Bay. Stages run twice a day to and from Patchoguo, four miles distant, and from the station on the main Long Island Railroad. Bellport Station, on the Long Island Railroad, is only four miles distant, and stages connect with the regular trains. Of boarding-houses there are nearly a score, with moderate : iharges. Bathing, fishing, gunning, and driving are to be had \ or love or money, as the case may be ; and boating, with its accompanying joys of blue-fish in the bay, and surf-bathing on the ocean beach, are among the regular amusements. I fiKASlDK llESOn TS. THE OLEN COVE BRANCH. At Mineola a biaach leaves the main line for I.ooust Valley and intermediate stations. The ttrst waterside station readied is Koslyu, twenty-three and a half miles l)y rail from New York ; also reached by the steamboat Sewaiihahi, from Pier 24, East River, at-l P.M. daily, Sundays excepted, touching both ways at ;j:Jd St. Returning, the boat leaves Roslyn at 7.;t0 A.M. The hotels are ihe IWyn, Oreluird Uou^e, McchniiM Hotel, and Mansion Home. Board, $10 a week and upward. A literary circle, of which the venerable William Cullen Bryant was the founder, has long hail its summer headiiuarters in this vicinity. The village is at the head of Hempstead Harbor, a deep indentation of Long Island Sound. GlenJimd is the utation for Sea Cliff, a charming resort on a headland overlooking the mouth of Hempstead Harbor and the sound. Here various camp-meetings are held during the summer months, and many cottages are occupied by regular summer sojourners. The .S«t Cliff Ho im is a fine large hotel, conducted on the European plan. The Methodist Episcoi.al Church of New York City has a " Home " for its aged and infirm members, and there is a large and commodious ' ' tabernacle,' ' where religious ser- vices are conducted. There is a daily boat, the Hewanhaka, to and from New York, leaving Pier 24, B. R. , at 4 P. M. , and returning at 7.15 A.M. Glen Cove is two miles beyond. The PavUiim. Hotel is a large and well-kept house on the point west of the village. It is easiest reached by boat. Locust Valley, the termiims of the road, ha.s many good boarding-houses, but no large hotel. All the stations of this road have seven trains a day to and from New York. The NoRTiirouT, Smithtown, and Pout Jeffeubon Branch diverges from the main line at Hicksville. Syomet, the first station, is the pomt of departure for Oyxter Bay (Nassau House), a water- ing-place on one of the many indentations of the North Shore. A line of stages runs from the station. The drives in this vicinity are delightful, and the boating facilities are abundant. Tlie Sewanhaka Yacht Club makes this harbor its headquarters.

The vicinity of Syosset Bay is ex- ceptionally beautiful, broken as it is into the most delightful variety of hill and dale, wood, meadow, and upland pastures. Lloyd's Neck, which forms part of the eastern shore of the bay, is divided and nearly separated from the mainland, or rather island, by Lloyd's Harbor, an arm of Huntington Bay. This neck, which was formerly known as Queen's Village, is composed of high hills, from whose summits superb views of the sound open in all directions. Farm-houses are mo. co of prosperity of course dis- appeared with the whales, and for many years the population barely held its own. Now, however, it may fnirly lot)k forward to greater prosperity. The town wasfirstsettled in 17;iO. During the Revolution it was from time to time occupied by the British in considerable force. In May, 1777, General Parsons, then having a command in Connecticut, sent out an exi)edition composed of 234 men, under the command of Lieut. Col. Meigs. The party crossed the Sound in thirteen whale-boats, laudi^d at SoiUJiold and carried their boats over into I'oconic Bay. Fortiuiately for the success of the enterprise, a large i)art of the British force )iad inarched for New York a few days before, but a garrison still remained to guard a quantity of stores at Sag Harbor. Thither Lieut. Col. Meigs went with his detachment, arrived at two o'clock in the morning, surprised the guard, had a brisk fight, captured ninety prisoners, and after destroying a quantity of shipping and stores, started on their return, reaching Guilford at two o'clock P.M., having been absent only twenty-five hours. In that time the troops traversed ninety miles by land and water, and accom- plished the object of the expedition with entire success. Congress voted a sword to Lieut. -Col. Meigs, and some of his subonlinates were promoted for their good behavior and gallantry. A British fleet was stationed in Ganliner's Bay during the war of 1812, and at one time dispatched a "cutting out'" expedition by night to Sag Harbor.

THE HIGHLANDS OF NEVEBBINK. The bases of these noble hills form the southern shore of Uaritan Hay and from their summit a superb view oi,ens, commanding the bay and the Narrows, as far as New York, and including a wide sweep of land and ocean in every direction. Mount MM the highest point, is 283 feet above tide- water. These highlands are usually the first laud seen from inward-bound vessels ; an. in ol.l times, when sailors had sometimes to work to sea against an adverse wind, they were so long in losing sight of the Highlands, that the name Neversiuk was fixed on them forever.

A short drive or walk of a mile and a half, either by the Beach Drive and Atlantic Avenue, or by any of the roads leading to the north and west, will brmg the visitor to the bay. Boats and yachts of all si/cs are pro<;ur- able at not very exorbitant prices, consid(;ring the vicinity of the Branch, and the whole of South Shrewsbury River, with its numerous inlets, is available as a sailing ground. Wolf HIU and Dumbarton lU'I are elevations near Ocean Port, whence fine views of the vicinity may be obtained. They are reached by way of the Long Branch and Batontown Turnpike. Deal is an old settlement, about five miles south of the railway terminus and near the first break in the beach, caused by the out- let of Great PomJ. The " Bluff " disappears here and the grad- ually sloping beach is capital for bathing purposes. Itathamiy x and AUeii'i, houses are the principal resorts for visitors. Shark Hirer famous for its oysters, is three miles beyond Deal, and is reached by a good road crossing Great Pond and leading to the river where there are two or three hotels which make oysters a specialty PiunHon Neck is separated from Long Branch by the South Shewsbury River.

A8BVKT FABK AKD OCEAK OBOYE, Monmoutli Co., N. J. 3(1 miles from JfewYork. Hotels— ?%« Ocean, The t'olemaii, The I'ilman, etc. These villages of tents, cottages, and hotels, bid fair to rival the largest watering-places of their kind in the country. Ocean Orove, the older, is separated from its neighbor Asbury Park by Wesley Lake, which is about three-fourths of a mile long and less than one hundred yards in width. On both sides of the lake are lines of cottages, while over its surface scores of boats ply to ferry people across or transport them up and down between the upper part of the village and the bathing-houses at the surf. Rules made, render vice and intemperance on tlie grounds impossi- ble ; and to promote the utmost quiet on Sunday or during hours of worship other days, are strictly enforced in Ocean Grove. The streets and avenues here were originally too narrow, and the lots too small, an error not copied by the projectors of Asbury Park, which is laid out with greater liberality and with an idea to future expansion. Rooms may bo had with or without board, or tents may be hired and housekeeping practised on a small scale. Indeed, the problem of living may here bo solved in almost all ways anrl at conipar.atively slight expense. Those wishing a good hotel will find the Pitman Tlouse such a one. It is the Largest at the grove ; is lighted with gas; is nenr the beanli, the post-oflice. and the Tabernacle ; has spacious, ;i ry smd WKll-furni.shcd !ileei)in!;-rooms, and a pubHc parlor well-furnished and novel in design — being large, very high, surrounded by galleries, and open toward the sea.

The Lake House is at the depot, only a short distance from the be.K'h, to which five carriages run from this house for tlio accommodation of its guests. The cottages hero are all fine buildings. The wide avenues and liberal scale of the improve- ments make this, with its natural advantages, an exceptionably attractive spot. New York passengers take the New Jersey Central Railroad at the foot of Liberty or Clarksoi' streets, and run without change of cars directly to Spring Lake Beach, and to " Monmouth Hou.se "in U hours ; there being eight or ten trains a day each way. Philadelphia passengers take the cai-s of the Pennsylvania Rail- road at the new depot at West Philadelphia, and without the inconvenience of crossing the city or the Camden ferries, or going into anotlier State to start, are taken without change of cars to Spring Lake Beach in about two hours.

This is a small village of six or eight hundred inhabitants, a small hotel, three churches, and several stores. It is located in a fertile country on the left bank of the Manasquam River, and one mile from its mouth and the ocean. Though the village will hardly be called a sea-side resort, the river bank between tlie vil- lage and the beach is lined with cottages and private boarding- houses.

From Cape May to th(! uiMghborhood of the St. John's River, Florida, the coast is almost ik'stitiitc of resorts, which, in a book like this, can properly be classifled as such. In the vicinity of the larger cities, such as Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, and some others, there are occasionally small, and generally ill-kept sea-side hotels, but they are none of them places which olfer at- tractions to the tonrist, unless he is a sportsman, and i.s willing to '• rough it " for tlie sake of nmltitudinous geese, duck, snipe, and plover. Even these, however, can be found in almo.st equal obundauce in more accessible localities. This part of the coast is. to a great degree, sheltered from the direct action of ocean storms by long lines of sandy beach, broken by occasional inlets, and now and then covered with suflicient soil to tempt a few settlers, and give support to a sparse growth of grass and trees. As a general thing, the only huunvn habitations are those of the light-house keepers ; and the surf thunders along a thousand miles of superb sea-beach, without being once eidivened by the merry voices and bright dresses of bathers. The greater part of the in- habitants who travel at all prefer to go north, where the accom- modations are much better, and the air is more invigorating than can be found below the latitude of Cape May. Both sides of the Florida peninsula afford resorts which attract many northern vis- itors during the winter mouths, and along the Gulf coast there are a few points which either are, or will be, watering-places of con- siderable note. in FLOKIDA, VirKii.ia, thn CarolinaH. iin.l (i(M,itfia. tliouKh possessinp sorao- thiiiL' like a thouBaiul unl.mof Kuauonst, are almost with.mt i)lac.^H whieh can be cl.u«.iflc.l an resort«.

The Florida »t (iourse, from Ferimn- ;odar Keys, on the (iulf, ulf i (inlf Stream, is well suited to strengthen the most sensitive lungs and act as a gentle stimulant to the most delicato constitution. Tlu) hotels are as well kept as can reasonably bo expected, considering the ditlh'ulties to bo overcome in obtaining su(!h supplies as are usually considered necessary for such estab- linhments. In the winter, when the great inllux of visitors takes l)laee, the hotel proprietors make arrangements to iiiijiort their groceries and butter from the North, and trust to local resourcej« to complete thoir bills of fare. Fortunately, game, li.sh, vege- tables, atul fruit are abundant; and if a visitor is disposed to grumble, his ill-nature is invariably set down as due to the capri- cious appetite of an invalid. Ilesides tho hoti^ls, there are many good boarding-houses, all of which are (llled with Xortheni visi- tors from January to May. These are mostly invalids ; at least every party from the North is proi.ty sure to contain one or more individuals who come here to avoid the elfeets of a bleak climate, Olid it is notorious that many are permanently benefited. In fact, cases have Ijeen known whore persons have lived for years in tho balmy air of St. Augustine when one lung was .'Utirely useless. Invalids who contemplate resorting thither can avaU themselves, if desired, of tho services of resident physicians. It is not invalids alone, however, who avail themselves of this delightful climate, for the surrounding country and tho waters which wash the shores afford abundant sport for those who love to use the rod or gun.
