THE SEASIDE RESORTS "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture in the lonely shore,
There is a joy when none intrudes,
By the deep sea v:ith music in its roar."
HoJ all ye, who.	tired of city pleasures, and	jaded	by dity cares,
thirst and hunger after a	few moments of quierude,	a fev	mouthfuls of
pure air, a few glimpses of the exhilirating scenes of the countryOO vho would exchange the muddy and dusty streets for "the green grass, or the white teach of	the	oceanS^the cold and hard	brick	walls of
houses for the lively	and	brilliant verdure and bloom of	the forest--
the cere-worn faces of	the	denizens	of trade	and commerce for the gay
and reckless aspect of	the	votaries	of rural	pleasures, and of those
•-hose joys Virgil has so beautifully sung--
"Kimium furtunati, so bona seriat."
'la J all ye who would invigorate your worn and wasted energies, resuscitate your nerves and spirit, and provide yourselves a substantial capital of good health	and	vigor to	embark in the approaching campaign,
his ye to the steamboats as fast as	you c^n,	and with your carpet-bags
or handkerchiefs well filled vith shirts, fishing tackle, quids of tobacco, cheap novels, and an old pair of boots, trust' your precious carcasses to the perils of the sea, and hasten with the speed of steam to some one of the many delightful resorts, which cluster along the ocean's shore.
In the	choice	of steamboats you can	hardly make a mistake.	The
small boats	are unsurpassed for >;3;>:gaEGS	b safety and elegant
accommodations. There is, too, the beautiful swan-likei^M&g^-the best sea-boat in the ^outh. c-he rides the high waves of Lake Borgne as gracefully, and •■•Gathers the storm as bravely and easily as a perfect mermaid floating on her native element. Then there is the compact and substantial	little	representative of the	chivalry of steamboats,	the
t-IMrstrict-;	a South Carolina boat	of the "first family"—with
od table, commodious berths, and obliging officers.
