Multitudes of our citizens axe packing their trunks foza restorative absence: . v j The city beats -are pursuing the people withiorch and fear of sula-. stroke. The long silent halls. of sumptuous "hotels are' all abuzz with, excited I arrivals. The crystalline surface of Winnipiseogee is^shatfcered 'with the ( strokfc of steameiyjaden with excursionists. The angers of Adirondack cfeer rattle .under. the .shot' of city |f>brtsmen. The trout make fatal snaps at the hoOks of adroit sportsmen and toss" iheir^spotted brilliance into the game basket.

It is generally the case that ; / the Sabbath is more of a carousal f than any other day, and there are > Sunday walks and Sunday rides and ' Sunday excursions. ? Elders and deacons and ministers of religion who are entirely consistent at domersomet5nes when-the; ^Sabbath dawns on them at Niagara Falls or the White Mountains take the day to themselves, flf they go to the church, it is apt to be a sacredparade, and th^ discourse, instead of being a plain talk about the soul,- is apt to be what is called a crack sermon?that ie cnmo ^-ic^rvnrco rvnlrprJ niif nf " f.Vtp effusions of the year as the one; most, adapted to excite.,admiration; aid in those churches, from the way the ladies hold theirfaces, youknow-that they are not so much impressed*with the Heat as with the - pieturesqueness of half-disclosed features- Eourpuny souls stand in the organ loft and ~ squall a tune that nobody knows, and worshippers, with ?2,000 worth of diamonds on the.right hand, drop a cent into the poor-box, and then the- : benediction is pronounced and the ~ farce is ended. - - : The air is bewitched- with ."the world, the flesh and the devil/; There are Christians who in three or four weeks in such a. place have had such/' terrible rents made in-their Christian robe that they-had to keep dating it _ jmtib-^jistmas > io/gstr ifcihended!

There needs to be a *redis tribution of coronets among the brute creation. For ages the lion has been called the king of beasts. I knock off its coronet and put the crown upon the horse,* in every way nobler, whether in shape or spirit or sagacity or intelligence or affection or usefulness. JBe is semihuman, and knows I hovr to reason on a small scale. The ! centaur?of olden times, part horse | and part-man, seems to be a. suggestion of the fact that the horse is something more than a beast. Job sets forth his strength, his beauty, his majesty, the panting of Vi*w T^/iofrnl +T>q r>o\vino nf bis lioof. li'.O v**v ,jk/M( I I w- , : a^d his enthusiasm for the battle What Kosa Bonheur did for the cattle, and what Landseer did for the the dog.

It is very j | evident that -Xob and David and i Ta, -^.V. j JLfc&tvUl I *^ * y | John-were- very jfond of the horse, i i He came into much of their imagery. \ I A red horse?that meant war; a black j ; Lorse?that meant famine; a pale! i horse?that meant death; a white ! horse?that meant victory.j As the Bible makes a favorite of j | the horse, the patriarch and the J r prophet and the evangelist and the ' : apostle, stroking- his sleek hide and | patting his rounded qeck, and tenderly lifting his exquisitely formed ; hoof and listening with a thrill to the chamo of his bit. so all in great na i tures in all ages have spoken of him in encomiastic :terms. Yirgil in his Georgics almost seems to plagi irize from the description of' Job. The duke of Wellington would not allow any-one irreverently to touch his old war-horse, Copenhagen, on whom.he had ridden fifteen hours without dismounting at Waterloo; and when old /-< 1 I,,-- ~?i.? uicu, lll?> iu<i3i,ci viucicu a military salute fired over Ms grave, John Howard showed that he did not exhaust all Hs sympathies in pitying the race; for when sick he writes home: - "Has my old chaise-horse-become sick or spoiled?" But we do not think thai; that the speed of the horse should be cultured at th e expense of human degra dation. Horse races in olden time- . were under the"ban of christian peo- : pie, and in our day the same instituJion.has come up under fictitious : names, and 'it is called a "summer ! meeting, suggestive 01 .positive religious exercises- .And--it is called an ^agricultural fair," suggestive of eveiything that is improving in the art'of farming. But under these deceptive titles are the same cheating and the same befting. the same, the same drtuikenness. andthe same vag- ] abondage, and the same abominations , that vere to be found under-the old ' horse racing system. - - . . 3 I never knew a man yet who could ] srive himself to the Treasures of the , turf for a long roach of time, and not ; be bartered in morals.

All, my friends, have nothing to do * with ' horse-racing dissipation this g saramer. Long ago the English gov- c eminent got through looking to the turf for -the dragoon and light cav- j airy "horse. They found that the r turf depreciates the stock, and it is, ? yet worse for-men. 'Thomas-Hughes the member of parliament and the v author known alt the world over f hearing that a new turf enterprise * was being started- in this country, ^ wrote J a letter in which he said: . "Heaven help you then; for of all the canEers of our old civilization there ? is nothing in this country approach- A ing in unblushing meanness, in-ras- " cality holding its hand high, to this | belauded institution of the British ^ turf." Another famous sportsman J writes: r "How many' fine domains * have-been sliced among those hosts c of rapacious sharks during the last ? two hundred years; and unless the t system "be altered, how many more 1 are doomed "to fall into -the same E turf!" The Duke . of Hamilton, * through his horse-racing jjroclivities, s in three years. got through his entire e fortune of ?350,000, and I will some of you are bein?^jin4e?muied s by it. With ih?-buii-nghts of i>pain } and the besff^Baiting of the pit, may i the Lord God annihilate the infa- c mous a&d accursed horse-racing of i Engljand and America. ? the summer you say to your ? prbod health: j^Good-bye, l am go- i Sigto have a good time for a . little l while. I will be very glad to see you ' again in the.autumn." Then in. the ] onfnmn rrh'ftm vr*n nrp hai'd at work in tout office, or shop, or counting c room, Good Health will come and i say: .''Good-bye, I am going." Yon t say: "Where are you going'?" "Oh," i says Good Health, "I am going to c take a vacation!" . It is a poor rule i that -will not work both ways, and your 3 good health will leave you choleric" and splenetic and exhausted.

A fragment of Paul's i charge to the jailer would be an appropriate inscription for the hotel register in every watering place: "Do j thyself no harm." Another temptation hovering , - "? ? i n <>.. 1 around tiie watering place is me 101- j illation of hasty and life-long allian ces. The watering places are re- c sponsible for more of the domestic in- ? felicities of this country than all the ] other things combined. Society is-so j artificial there that no sure judgment ^ of character can be formed. Those ? who]form^companionships amid such g circumstances go into a lottery ] wljere tiere are twenty blanks to one prize. In the severe tug of life you ? want more than glitter and splash. Life is ball room where the music u .-,des the step, and bow and 2 TV!71 CT A"F 1 O* "? uiivi *.???-i-*?.-, v* trail can make up for strong common 1: sense. You may as well go among f the gayly painted yachts of a summer t regatta to iind war vessels as to go f among the light spray of the summer 1 watering place to and character that 3 can stand the test of the great strug-. t gle of human life. Ah, in the battle ? of life you want a stronger weapon "v than a lace fan or a croquet mallet! c The load ef life is so heavy that in i order to draw it, you want a team <1 JE... stronger fchar. oke made up of z teas culine grasshopper and a feminine butterfly. Aiictner,temp:ation irs: vr.ii ncvci over the -watering- place is that of baneful literature. Almost every one starting -off for the summer takes some reading matter. It is a book out of the library or off the book stand, or bought of the boy hawking books through the cars. I really believe there is more pestiferous trash read among the intelligent classes in July and August than in an tneotner i ten months of tlie year. Men and | women who at home would not be satisfied with a book that was not really sensible, I found sitting on hotel piazzas or under the trees reading books the index of which would make them blush if they knew that you knew what the book was. ' Oh," they say, "you must have in4 rtll An 1 ^ V AA 'PU At?A tCJJ.CUvUiUL XGlJICitUlVIXJ. JLCO. Xlicit is no need tbat you take along into a watering place "Hamilton's Metaphysics" or some thunderous discourse on the eternal decrees, or 'Faraday's Philosophy." There are many easy books that are good. You might as well say: . "I propose now to -give a little rest to my digestive organs; and, instead of eating heavy meat and vegetables. T will for a lit tie while, take lighter food?a little strychnine and a few grains of ratsbane." Literary poison in August is as bad as literary poisOn in December. Mark that. Do not let the frogs ?gid the lice of a corrupt printing press jump and crawl into your Saratoga trunk or White Mountain valice. Would it not be an awful thing for you to be -struck with lightning some day when -you had in your hand one of those paper-covered romances? the hero of a Parisian roue, the heroine an unprincipled flirt?chapters in the uuufc. vLicit juu wuiuu nuticau IU >uui cliildren at the rate of Si 00 a line! Throw out that stuff from your, summer baggage. Are there not good boQks that-are easy, to read?books Df congenial history., books .of pure fun, books of poetry ringing with merry canto, .books of fine engravings, books that will rest the mind as well as purify"the heart and elevate the whole life ? My hearers, there will not-be an hour between this and the day of your death when you can mora to read a -dook lacking m noral principle. Another temptation hoveling all iround our watering places is the intoxicating beverage. I am told that it is becoming more and .more fasliionible for women to drink. I care not bow well a woman may dress, if she has taken enough of wine to flush her 3heek and put glassiness on her eyes, she is intoxicated. She may be handed into a ?2,500 carriage, and have diamonds enough to confound the Tiffanys?she is intoxicated.

You may. iave a-larger vocabulary than I have, . md you may say in regard to her ;aat she is "convivial," or she is 'merry," or she is ''festive," or she is 'exhilarated," but you cannot with til your garlands of verbiage cover lp the plain fact that- it' is an oldiashioned case of drunk. , My friends, whether you tarry at it home?which will be quite as safe md perhaps quite as comfortable?or *o into the country, arm yourself igainst temptation. The grace of jroa is tne otuy sale sneiter, wnetner n town or country. There are waterng place's accessible, to, all of us." Yon a "ut>oi? oi trie .Dioie wrap >ut finding out some such watering )Iace. Fountains open for sin and mcleanliness; wells of salvation; treams from Lebanon; a flood struck >ut of the rock by Moses; fountains a the wilderness discovered by lagar; water to drink and water to >athe in; the river of God," which is ull of watfer;: water of which: if ' & man Irink he shall never thirst;, wells of rater in the valley of Baca; living Ann+oino nr mofor. o nnrc invsr ftf.

What a White-Aproned Walter Knows About His Business?"Spotting" a New ly-Married Couple?Their Actions Always Reveal the Secret. A brief journey in a dining car is appreciated by almost all persons wiio travel. It is, of course, taken for granted that they have the "wherewithal" to pay for the gratification .of the palate. While dining, the eyes wander anon to the ever-chancrincr scenery as the train speeds along, thus feeding the mind at the same time. One becomes conscious of the fact that he is in a veritable hotel on wheels. Waiters hurry hither and thither, the car conductor and his assistant watch with eager eyes to detect a fault in the waiters' work, and through a little window opening into the kitchen many sable faces topped off by pure white linen caps can be seen. The dining car contains subject matter for a day's study. A Chicago News reporter recently wandered into the Eock Island passenger yard, where a great many udiners" oi Art tiru itUU U JJLUIU liilCJ OJ.O and mado up Into tho through trains. Groups of colorcd men could be seen sitting -within the cars. It did not take long to become acquainted with the dining car men, as they are a most genial class of fellows. "Want ter know sumpin 'bout our life in do feed cah, oh?" asked a big colored cook, who woro a watch chain that hung in ten loops over the broad expanse of his shirt bosom. "Well, yoh cain't do better than ax Luther Grant a.few questions. Ho done bin a secretary toh onfe ob dose trabbeling newspaper men, an' hcz bin 011 do road foh some yeahs." Luther Grant, the individual menMnnfvl_ was n. tall mnlatto. whose fea tures express considerable refinement. He had loeg since ceased to gamble and "spoilt" as most of bis companions do. "I can tell you about our life in the kitchen, Mr. Reporter, but if you want the real romance you will have to talk to the gentlemen who broshcrumbs into your lap and snatch fees before the backsheesh^ out of your pocket. We have our regular runs. One crew is assigned to each diner, which goes a certain distance on- ono train, and then is cut out to return on another. This constitutes a trip.n People are familiar with the",important-looking person with, a silk skullcap, who walks through the train announcing that "dinner is now ready in the dining car.
