Some of theac, together with representatives of certain leading Philadelphia journals, have been here this week, and the East Ca]ie May Beach tract was carefully looked over and considered. Any-othcr tract, eligibly situated, would answer their purpose just as well, and the West side of the to* o had also been duly considered in this connection, but the decision was arrived as that there was not in that section a tract of sufficient area to meet their demands; Renee they have turued their attention to the East'end. where, according to their judgment, the plans originally promulgated by Mr. A.

CURRENT COMMENT LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED An Impartial Review of Subject) Under Thought—The Talk of the Gosslpa.

/?'

CURRENT idea, and one upon which there ha* been from time time much current comment,is that

of “The Art of Pleasing" as something

to be cultivated. To at ouce localize

subject may wo not ask, where Is this art, if It be an art, more carefully suidiwl than In a community that flourishes and

is supported by, tbe patronage of jbrongs who have a two-fold object

view.— to gain the pleasures of health that are to be found by reaching that state of health that may be acquired by a wise indulgence in pleasure. And if it be true that it is more blessed to give

than to receive, what pure delight

should find iu earnest efforts to add to the

pleasure of others; not efforts that

merely superficial, -unreal, full of gush, but rather anch as spring spontaneously from tbe heart, guided by good intent

and purpose, free from the poll mere policy or sclfishucas, or from

desire to have one’s skim-milk disposition masquerade as cream, that through deceit our own selfish meed may be grat-

ified.

Tbe “Art of Pleating” in iu truest sense, exisU upon a higher plane than the art of tbe pbotograpbei, who asks bia subject to "look pleasant,” because ner alone, as we Intimated above, is born of au earnest desire to please; It is the doing, the executing of tbe thine s which give genuiue gratification, pleasure aud profit to those about us. It Is well to “look pleasant” into tbe camera of tbe countenance of a friend, but let our acU prove tbe purelfood goods that aic stored behind the catchy labels of gush and smile npon tbe outside. Yes, every body here to-day is studying to please — the butcher, the baker, the newspaper maker, aud {he hotel man. Guest* must be pleased. • Table excellencies and polite service arc winning cards, whether being purveyed at the markets or aerved ready for tbe pleasure of the palate. By prompt and buuest payment those who boy manifest a proper appreciation of service* rendered, and in turn give pleasure to those who have ceroly studied toplcaaepatrons. There are a thousand ways of doing little act* of that may add to tb of others, and right here at Cape May i

day tbe entire network of both tbe business aud the social fabrics, Is interwoven

with efforts to please.

But what of those whose’ greatest pleasure Is to do mean, contemptible things, who would rather lure a neighbor,or even a no- a friend,Into a ditch rathpr than to extend to him an honest band, If thereby his

irpuses might be gratified, se who study (be art of

Hay is pleasing only themselves, and tbey -are etn all never happier than when adding to the

ir their unhappiness of others.

‘ by tbe Great Teacher, who said, "It your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” Those who live to please Him shall thus obtain tbe Father’s pleas
