r""^^^*^3fliitry. 1 am glad that for longer or shorter time, multitudes of our people will have summer vacation. The railway trains are being laden with passengers and baggage on their way to the mountains and the soushore. Multitudes of our citizens are ] packing their trunks for a restorative j absence. The city heats are pursuing the \ people with torch and four of sun- | stroke. The long silent halls of sumptu- , ous hotels are all aluizz with excited arrivals. The crystalline surface of i Winnipisoogoe is shattered with the ] stroke of steamer, laden with excur- ( sionists. The antlers of Adirondack j door rattle under the shot <>f city j sportsmen. The trout make fatal i snaps at the hooks of adroit sportsmen | and toss their spotted brilliance into ( the game basket.

Another tempiation that will hover er the watering pla<e is that of HW.f 111 lit <?? ! t 11171 luting off for the summer takes nue rending matter. It is a book it of the library or oil' thu book limb or bought of the boy hawking )oks through the ears. I really beve there is more pestiferous trash ail among the intelligent classes in tly ami August than in all the other n months of the year. Men ami mien who at home would not be tisfiod with a book that was not ally sensible, 1 found sitting on >tei pia/./.as i>r under the trees read g hooks the index of which would ike them blush if they knew that hi knew what the book was. "Oh." they say, "you must have in Hernial reeicalioill Yes. There no need th.it yon t ike aloug int a iteiiug plan. "Hamilton's M?ta ivsies" or some thunderous lis ursc on the eternal ih erees. or ' iraday's Philosophy. Tin re are :iu\ easy books thai are good. You igltt as well say: "I propose now give a little rest to my digestive gins: and. instead of* ea.ing heavy eat ami vegetables. I will for a lit while take lighter food a little ryehnine and a few grains of rats me." Literary poison in August is bad as literary poison in Decern ; r. Mark that.

Another ti niptation liovinng all omul our watering places is the in \icatmg beverage. I am told that is1 leeoiuing more and more I ash ion ile for women to drink.
