A | number of equipages, deebiog sod an- ' pretending, were standing on the CoI I inmbio House strand. Ere long, the 1 ; oympba and their mescaline attend- ! ' i aala emerged from the little dresaiog, j . ' or rather undressing-rooms that skirt ' . I the beach, sad with pretty screech and fascinating yell, rnibed band in hand [ for the eorf and tba water. Oao yonng i ' lady, straight as bo arrow, graceful at I > a fawa, slender ae a wand, and Beat as wax, ia particular attracted our attea- ! tioa, as with graoe and digaity the led . a stout old gentleman in flaanal shirt . i and emails, to lh%wetor'e edge. Nothing, we thoaght, can make that beaalifal creatsre look ridicaloo* to 1 these admiring eyes. In she went, sp she same. The water had entered her eyeo, her ear* and her noes. She 1 . shook her bead, mat zed, gasped and , shouted fur her fether, who waa wal- < : flowing about like a porker in the mad. After half en hoar'a tombliag they retained.

strange to ooe who has seen it only when gotten np in style. It Is bnt cataral that a form which depends ordinarily on so many "fixings," shoald ose its bejaty and attragUvenaas when the fixings were removed. \ Turning ear etepi from the ehore, we could not help blaming the fraitfa! comments of scores ef meo and women who find genuine aad unadulterated pleasure in looking at tkeir awkward, graceless and unbecoming appearance upon the beach and in the water. Engagement-Rings, i Of all personal oreetnenU, the 6egerring is, perhaps, tha most aieieal, and has bean tba muat aztansivaly wore. Tha philoauphers of aatiquily regard it es the emblem er eternity, and It is pleasant to couaect tbie idee with the affection of which it is the symbol. A ring has beea used io ell ages as a gift of love, or token of betrothal. Since Iba beginning of tha praeaut aaotury It baa bees called an "engagement-ring," end, es young ladies well know, it ia wora on the index finger of tha left haodj bul our fair friends may not be equally aware that, m it was tba precursor of matrimo- . uial alliaaca, it was formerly deslgeeled . as a prouubiel or pladge-riog, when it wee wero on the fourth finger ; at a period, however, whea oar maternal aneaetors — leu romantic. It would team, than Ibair fair deecetdauU — wore that charmed cir- ' c|ot on tbeir thumbs. Originally the ' pronobus was made of iron— consisting ' (like the modern, bat tastalets wadding I ring) of a plain boop. Sobeeqiently, it , was made mora matsive— sufiiaiently so . to admit of soma precious gem, or a suitable device. Although not mentioned in the Bible- 1 the traditions ef "the chosen people" in- ' form ue that engagement rings have, for ages, been otad by them, at Ue aepoaseli beforo jadlriege, end are aaid U bevu 1 bean introduced aa institutes for the ' i pieces of gold- paid on purchase of the ' , bride,' Id accordance with an ancient ceii lorn celled "co-emption," alluded to in ' the 31 tb chapter of Uenesis. The laws of ' the Hebrews require the ring to be ef a 1 1 certain value, end must bevo been ac- ' quired Ly tbe bridegroom' neither on credit or by gift. This being properly I certified, it is put oa tba brida'e finger, i eod should the ceremony sot be farther : proceeded with, no other marriege could 1 be contrncud by either party without a , legal divorce. i If we admit ita authenticity, tbe most remarkable engagement ring aow io ex- | ieteuee it, undoubtedly, that which con- ! I tiuuea to receive onbouaded veneration i ia the catbedial of Terugia, about aigbty ' miles from the city of Rome. Thif relic ie bravely affirmed ta be tba vary riog of espoueal which Jdeaph gave io the Vir- i giu Mary I In tbe Talmud it is sUted I that such a financial pledge bed passed | between them. Aa able eoatributor to a , London magazine tails ci that it is made , or one whole stone— a groan jeipsr, bol- < lowed eat — itself forming both hoop and | haul, asaUeyed with any matal. Tba | device cut apoa it is obsctre, although , tba fondly ereduloas can trace is it the , featane of tba faalmlat ef Israel— tka , ravel enceetor or thu Virgio. , Tba early Christians, aba alia used , tha proaubas, introduced, logeUer with i with a batter faith, a batter metal for - their riagv — trans muting the iron badge | of oervtiade into a circlet af para geld— < the laaat corruptible of melalo — lodics- , ling, at tba aama time, both purity and i daratioa. iastead of pagan enpids, tbe , tew device consisted of two right bande, < clasped Jogetber. betokening a vastly im- i , proved coneeptioa tf the reciprocal du- | lies, aad the equality of the two cob- i , trectlng partiee. ' At tba period of the Raformatioa, the i engagemeuLringi ef tbe more opuleol i members of eociely freqaeotly contained i rubiee— emblematic of "axallad love"— I set round with diamoode, indicative of i 1 "daratioa." Than this aoaa otber could i be mora appropriate, aod af inch was that i which Martin Lather preeeslad U> hie be- { trolbed. Allhoogb gaoerally understood I as tokens of affection, rings ware fro- i qnaatly sivAD with vary different aentimeuts. Photius relates that a man who had became tirod of his wire, preeealed i bar with a ring at divorce. Having , placed it en bar bagor, ha adds (which ia , mecb ta tha fodj't credit) that aha received it with the eame docile obedience ' with which aho bad formerly accepted tbe < 1 wedding-ring. | On eearcbug Ue classics we fiad Uat , ' Greek MotimeaUliam fint gave mystic eigoifieauca ta rings, as Uey tBfrarad spaa them iegaade or mottoes typical at 1 love aod devolioo. From Jtvoaal we i I ban that— at toast during the Roman , Kmpira — the man pot a riog oa tha Soger el hta betrothed ae a pledge of hie fidelity. , Readers of English bjsleiy may remember the story which connected tbe death ' of the Karl of Keeei with a ring given to him by that aid coquette, Qaeea Eliza- . both, who aagaged that when it shoald ba 1 , soot io her as » sign or his being to troo- , bis, aha would proteot him.

' Do you toil us, ob candidate for the cus. ' lorn of tbo commotiij, that you can't a(- j ' ford to advortiea because your businese is dull I Ah | why it it dull! Listen;1: end we will tell you. It is dull because i 1 you don't advorlitt, and you don't adver- 1 tiee because it it dull. So the vacaet 1 ■ circle is complete. We tell yoo, if you ' ere doing ill,' to advertise that you may 1 do well, and if you are doiag well, adver- ' use that ,you may do belter. Set high | your mark ofbusioeas success, aud advertise up to it. You can do so, if you will, even io bard limes. A little nern i, j I needed in advertising as well as in using 1 | any other effeclite means of succaas Your man wbo bave no more nsrro tban , a wot rag, advertise little or not at all. and they succeed little or not at all. I You may suppose that we ere giving ad- i , vice thai we (biak would benefit our- ' stives. Yet, we do tbiok it would bone- ( fit us, bul would benefit you immensely Think a little, and you will agree with ue. Aud if ydu do agree with us, be ' wise enough to act accordingly.
