This t wavthinlpit agreeaUotnrprltc, fur my ■- Ink MSA ta tho I»Lsd was -made by > Loot, and toSkfkum AN All. d i t. r. M,kTtio necoud pleasure wk's to I.1 fepil Kdhonje in the thermomstfr from f tU degnx-s in the city to" Td on tho It- ' land, and a brisk breeze from the ocean. Having been a comparative ! strangrr to Cope Miy fir several - years, the improved aspect of the '■ place was an immediate subject of In1 tcrcat to me. The large number of ' additional cottages, tlw extensive enLrgntent and Improvement of Coo- - gross Hall, the commodious new "Son • 1 Irene House " for excursion partir* 1 at the west end of the city, and the ' elegant "Stockton House" al the ' otlmt, were all conspicuous objects, f "ndiciting the great advance in the character of the accommodation* at ' this favorite old sea-bathing place, and 1 accounting for it* present high (place - in tho esteem of the public. I found ' acquaintances from nearly all parts of the country-south of New England, • from the Atlantic ronst to Missouri, and from Xew York to New Orleans, ( besides the large mnnlx-r of I'hiladel- 1 [phianx who prefer tape May above all | other summer resort. Tho hotels at this time are welt filled, but stopping at tho Storktnn ) I lahlishiucnt, as 1 have said. i« One of , j the novelties to uk-. Ik-ing entirely [ tlon, it cannot bp. ronsiilcml Invidious ! I to say, that it is fivr su|«;rior to any ! 1 on tire Island, eltlrer at pmemt I or In the pari. Kvcrylliing alxmt it I. I in the p.l.l style sen-shore hotel*. The j J rooms haw high roiling*, un; much ' are far' mure 'comfortably anil listid- 1 | sotnnly fr.ral.hc*!, and finally a much larger proportion of them have the 1 much oovetrd frontage on the sea. Thin la«t advantage is no slight on-. uiuk-ataiuls. The ground plan of the ' Is so arranged a* to present Ave fronts or aoetlons of front to the ocean and tiring right on the Isui h, It over- 1 ' looks the surf on that many sides, a* 1 | well as catching tho sea breeze from i wliichever quarter it comes, from the ' irtorth-wrat clear round by the south- j west nod south lo the north-east. At tlus time there are about uiiiphundred people at the Stockton House.

and In the t-vTiiln-, after dinner ami * after tea, the great hall, that opens on fr both tho front colonade and the im- i ,, dining-room, looks like the | tl of tire Academy- of Music on an j opera night or during a grand hall, so I n and gay is tlie assembly. . moving alxiut in promenade or stand- 4 nr sitting about in croups in an!- " mated conversation. The young pco- b pie of both sexes arc all handsomely j, dressed ; but you must not suppose . this that tlie plaou is wholly given up to fashion On the contrary, " tliere are two classes of visitors here I wlio eon- very little about style, un- , it Is entirelv coniisUnt Willi Uieir j. Comfort and pleasure -these are the experienced iaUlutt of Cape May, some of whom I saw tv-re twenty-flve J years ago— and tlie children. Tho old t folks consult their comfort exclusively, ami the children pursue their fun with rim, that it to a real satisfbetioo to " look at. e The Stockton Homo Is managed in ■ admirable style, as indeed would ual- f urally he exw-ctcd from a graduate of the Fhfladotphta Continental, as Mr. Charles I>u!ly, tire proprietor, is. e Il is raid, ami so far as I can judge, <1 • with tnith, that there are more visit- , ors bore, at all tire hotels, this season, . than at any other in the history of tinIsland. This throng Is a great altrac- > < fton to some, and It is a pleasure to t : people enjoying what they like ; but „ , for myself, old experience leads me to . prefer Capo May from tlie middle of August lo the middle of September, 1 ' when there it not such a crowd, hut c I still enough for company anil good t . fellowship ; when you can slcru with comfort every night under a blanket, ■si v. t ai ,M ban hi pstoJ bbsnnz ! and the glorious hslhing through the i I day.

i why it becomes a sort of per- j j pctual Sl Valentine's Day; why, when | j lay their hands on Ocean's name, , | people love who never loved before, j and people who always loved, lore so very much more. But we have not the least wish to penetrate the mystery, or ransack the arcana the gods have so discreetly veiled. Explanation would reduce it to a dull, work-n-day practicality, would degrade what I i- now poetry into prose, and |ios*ibly wouhl tend to restrict and curtnil dethat now are neither trammeled nor confined. We are contra! to re- 1 Juice thai thing* in this wise ore as they are; that cheeks blush more deliriously; that hair and skirts blow about in a manner mom waywardly enchanting; that muslin and barege and lace and Mots and ribbons and furbelows take on a weird charm in the salty air that are unknown to them elsewhere. What wonder that the toare always cnuy to get to tho seashore. Tho homage they revolve there L so lavish, so universal, and is drunk In, like the health-inspiring breezes, with so royal a freedom, so splendid an enjoyment But there are aome who deny all this, or who Gall to appreciate the lovcn gendering qualities of ocean ovef tho* of mountain or woodland! Ah, well, there are always sceptics, and truth rami lake It* chance with them it has always done before. There are tho* who will deny that Anthony for tlcuolra lost tlie world, or tliat Eloise was beloved of Abelnrd, or Mary of Scots by George Dougor thai Venus Aphrodite rem out the aea, or that Mr. Grecly is poet— and what of it? The fact* remain unchanged, after all. And wt will tell jest, Mraslrtm, who win nni deny it: not Emily, nor Henrietta, nor Edith, nor Amy; the girls are your superiors In knowledge in this, whatever they may be In other lore. They where their strength it. and where your weakliest; aad they will insist on taking with them to the seaside the sweetest dresses and the mist engaging hats and tho daintiest skirts and tlie most delightful boots; and they will show other (x-iptr's brother* what you. la your cross zalf siWHrieney You will go to Cap- May, and there will somebody else's sister leach you the lesson your hare so tcornltaOy ro-jred-il ntul disbelieved.

The height of the season ha* been '• reached, and although many strangers ■ 11 still continue to a reive I- the majority I ■' are packing their trunk*, taking the I *' tost look round, and [in-paring to go I T home.
