GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTl-RK. 



Aug. 15. 



and laughing and shouting until I almost for- 

 got to shut my eyes and mouth and hold my 

 breath when the big foamy billows came surg- 

 ing over us. Friend Selser kept urging me 

 to turn my back toward the wave when I saw 

 it coming, for it might strike with such force 

 as to hurt my face. There are two ways of 

 meeting breakers. One is to dive through 

 them, and the other is to jump up so your 

 head comes out of the way of the water. At 

 every wave, more or less of us tumbled down 

 and got mixed up. Oh ! but didn't we get 

 clean with that tremendous washing and rins- 

 ing from the briny waves ? Some of us were 

 awkward, but nobody seemed disposed to be 

 touchy or to complain. There seemed to be 

 the utmost good nature prevailing everywhere. 

 Ever\-body laughed at all that happened. 

 Once or twice I saw some awkward country 

 youth back up so as to jostle some iine lady, 

 evidently of rank and culture ; but his awk- 

 ward apology was always accepted, even if it 

 was hardly what the circumstances seemed to 

 warrant ; and with all the haps and mishaps 

 of that delightful day I did not hear one un- 

 kind or even despondent remark. I am not 

 sure that I even saw a despondent look. 



Oh, dear me ! why didn't it so happen that 

 I might take a salt-water bath every day in the 

 year? Now, then, is there any thing wrong 

 about having all humanity bathe together in 

 this promiscuous way ? When you become ac- 

 customed to it, everybody seems at least de- 

 cently and becomingly clad — that is, for the 

 time being. If we would all remember to 

 clothe our minds and {Iwughts in such a garb 

 as we are sure would be pleasing to the great 

 Father above, it would not matter so very 

 much about this matter of dress. If every- 

 body loved his neighbor with a pure and holy 

 love (as in the language of our text), woman's 

 dress might conform to season and circum- 

 stances, at least far enough to allow her to 

 move easily and gracefully through her voca- 

 tions in life. Perhaps we should need more 

 often to pray, " Create in me a clean heart, O 

 God, and renew a right spirit \\'ithin me;" 

 but such a prayer would only bring us nearer 

 to God ; and any circumstance or set of cir- 

 cumstances that would drive us oftener to the 

 throne of grace might be a blessing in itself.
