^^^*T^^nMUiftry. I am glad that for Y longer or shorter time, multitudos 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 seashore. Multitudes of our citizens are packing their trunks for a restorative absence. The city heats are pursuing the people with torch und fear of sunstroke. The long silent halls of sumptuous hotels are all abuzz with elcited arrivals. The crystalline surface of Winnipiseogee is shattered with the stroke of steamer, laden with excursionists. The antlers of Adirondack deer rattle under the shot of city sportsmen. The trout make fatal snaps at the hooks of adroit sportsmen and toss their spotted brilliance into the game basket. Already the baton of the orchestral leader taps the mu sic-Btand on the hotel green, and American life puts on festal array, and the rumbling of the tenpiu alley, and the crack of the ivory balls on the p-een baized billiard tables, and the jolting of the bar-room goblets, and the explosive uncorking of champagne bottles, and the whirl and the rustle of the ball-room dance and the clattering hoofs of the racecourses, attest that the season for the great American watering-places is fairly inaugurated. Music?flute and drum and eornet-a-piston and clapping cymbals?will wake the echoes of the mountains. . Glad I am that fagged out American life for the most part will have an opportunity to rest, and that nerves racketl and destroyed will tind a Bethesda. I believe in wateringplaces. b Let not the commercial iirm bqf. ?e cjtfk, Qlitbe employer physician, or'the church its pastor, a season of inoccupation. Luther used to sport with his children; Edmund Burke used to rn.rou? liiu fnuni-ito horse; Thomas Chalmers, in the dark | hours of the church's disruption, played kite for recreation--as I was told by his own daughter?and the busy Christ said to the busy apostles: "Come ye apart awhile into the desert and rest yourselves." And I have observed that they who do not know how to rest do not know how to work. But I have to declare this truth to day, that some of our fashionable watering plnces are the temporal and eternal destruction of "a multitude, that no man can number," and. amid the congratulations of this seAsoti' and the prospect of the depart ure Of many of you for the country^ I must utter a note of warning--plain, earnest and unmistakable, ? * The tiret temptation that is., uptdo hover in this directiou is to lipase your piety all at home. Vou will send the dog and cat and canary jfrir^ to be well cured for somewhere ofee; but the temptation will be to leave' your religion in the room with the blinds down and the door hoiked., and then you will come back inrtl8P autumn to tind that it is starved hnpt suffocated, lying stretched on the ij[? stark dead. There is no surplus# piety in the watering places. I nev?? knew any one to grow very rapidlv in grace at the fashionable summej resort. It is generally the case that the Sabbath is more of a carousal than auy other day, and there are > Sunday walks and Sunday rides and. Sunday oxcursions or the "White Mountains take the dft# to themselves. If tliej* go to the church, it is apt to be a sacred parade, and the discourse, instead of being a plain bilk about the soul, is apt to be what is called a crack sermon?that is, some discourse picked out of the effusions of the year as the one most adapted to excite admiration: and in those churches, from the way the ladies hold their faces, you know that they are not so much impressed with the heat as with the picturesquencss of half-disclosed features. Four puny souls stand in the organ loft and squall a tune that nobodj* knows, and worshippers, with $2,000 worth of | diamonds 011 tue rigtit linnil. drop ii cent into the poor box, and then the benediction in pronounced and the farco 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 placo have had such terrible rents made in then- Christian robe that they had to keep darning it until Christmas to get it mended! The health of a great many people makes an annual visit to some mineral spring an absolute necessit}'; but, take your Bible along with you, take an hour for secret prayer eveftri day, though you be surrounded Hp guffaw and saturnalia. Keep hg]K the Habbath, though they de.n<>atfbw you as a bigoted Puritan.

We all admire tbo borne. 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 th^crown upon tho horse, in every way nobler, whether in shape or spirit or sagacjty or intelligence or affection or unefiT! evident that' Jol> dud Da via'If P Isaiah and Kzekiel antj Jeremiah aud John were very, font! of the horse. He came into much of their imagery. A red horse?that meant war: a black horse?that meant famine: a pale ! horse?that meant death; a white horse? that meant victory. As the Bible makes a favorite of the librae, the patriarch and the prophet uud the evangelist and the apostle, stroking his sleek hide and patting his rounded neck, and tenderly lifting his exquisitely formed hoof aud listening with a thrill to the champ of his bit, so all in great 11a tures in all ages have spoken of him in encomiastic terms. Virgil in his Ueorgics almost seems to plftgi irize from the description of Job. The duke of Wellington would not allow any one irreverently to touch his old war-liorse, Copenhagen, on whom he had ridden fifteen hours without dismounting at Waterloo; and whon old Copenhagen died, his master ordered a military salute fired over his grave, John Howard showed that. ln> ?li?l not exhaust all liis sympathies in pitying the race, for when sick he writes home: "Has my old chaise horse become sick or spoiled?" But. we do uot think that that the speed of the horse ehouldbe cultured at the expense of human degru dation. Horse races in olden time were under the ban of christian peo pie. and in our day the same institu tion has come up under fictitious names, and it is called a "summer meeting," suggestive of positive religious exercises. And it is called an "agricultural fair." suggestive of everything that is improving in the art of farming. But under these deceptive titles are the same cheating ""andTfh^-effiiJ bdtfaig, the same, the same drunkenness, and the same vagabondage, and the same abominations that were to be found under the old horse racing system. I never knew a man yet who could give himself to the pleasures of the turf for a long reach of time, and not be battered in morals. They hook up their spanking team, and put on their sporting cap. and light their cigar, and take the reins, and dash down the road to perdition. The great day at Saratoga, and Long Branch. ai\d Cape May. and nearly all the other watering-places, is day of the races. The hotels are thronged, iieafl.\|cvei/y kind of equipage is ta In n u#at aii almost fabulous price, and there are many respectable peo! plCnifnoli^rg \vit*li jockeys, and gamblers," and Tiberfines, and foul mounted and flashy women. The bartender stirs up the brandy-smash. The bets -run- high. The greeenlionis, suppo8iu^-.u|l is fail*, put in their 'money soon enough to lose it. Three vvcAkp'ta&re the race takes place the cijtrttff?le t^deeided, and the men in ltne"s?cffct know on which steed to 'bet their money..

Ah, my friends, have nothing to do with horse-racing dissipation this summer. Long ago the English government got through looking to the turf for the dragoon and light cavalry horse. They found that the ? i-L- ?.1 jj. lull HCJIlL-DllVliCa lUl' HLUl'K, ilUU 11 IS yet worse for men. Thomas Hughes the member of parliament ami the author known all the world over hearing that a new turf enterprise was being started in this country, wrote a letter in which he said: "Heaven help you then: for of all the cankers of our old civilization there is nothing in this country approaching in unblushing meanness, in raa entity holding its hand high, to this belauded institution of the British turf." Another famous sportsman writes: "How many line domains have been shared among those hosts of rapacious sharks during the last two hundred years; and unless the system be altered, how many more are doomed to fall into the same turf!" The Duke of Hamilton, through his horse-racing proclivities, in Uiree. years got through his entire Tsfrun#of-,^350,000, and I will say #^>?i^ofyou are being undermined Mjg j\Y1111 the bull-tights of Spain wQM^^^u:-biytin|t of the pit, may ^annihilate the infarsed horse racing of | rfi't-r you say to your vrfttiw. gLilfl?&^Verv glad to woe you again iiWTie Tint mm.'

It iw a poor rule that will not work both wayw, and your good health will leave you choleric and wplenetic and exhausted. Yuo coquetted wilh your good health will leave you choleric ami splenetic and exhausted. You couquotted with your good health in the sum mer time, and your good hhealt iw coquetting with you in the winter time A fragment of Paul's charge to the jailer would l?e an ap is not a ball room where the music decides the step, and bow and prance and gaceful swing of long trail can make up for strongcommon sense. You may as well go among the gayly puiute i yachts of a summer regatta to lind war vessels as to go among the light spray of the summer watering place to and character that can stand the test of the great struggle of huoiau life. Ah, in the battle of life you want a stronger weapon than a l ice fau or a croquet mallet! The load of life iH so heavy that in order to draw it, you want a team stronger than one made up of a masculine grasshopper and a feminine butterfly. Another temptation that will hover 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 oil' tlie botok 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 all the other ten months of the year. Men and women who at home would not bo satisliod with a book that was not really sensible, 1 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. "Oli," they say, "you must have iutelleetual recreation 1' Yes. There is no need that you take along into a watering place "Hamilton's M>*ta - n i -v ui wmc luuiiueiuua uiscourse 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 ami vegetables. I will for a little while take lighter food?a little strychnine and a few grains of ratsbane." Literary poison in August is as bad as literary poison in DecemIkt. Mark that. Do not let the l'rogs and 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 book that you would not read to your children at the rate of $100 a line! Throw out that stuff from your summer baggage. Are there not good books that are easy to read?books of congenial history, books of pure fun, books of poetry ringing with merry canto, books of line engraviugs, books that will rest the mind 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 afford to read a book lacking in moral principle. temptation uoveriug an around our watering places is the intoxicating beverage. I am told that it is becoming more and more fashion able for women to drink. I care not how well a woman may dress, if she has taken enough of wine to (lush her cheek aud put gl issiness 011 her eyes, she is intoxicated. She may be handed into a $2,500 carriage, and lmvo diamonds enough to confound the Tiflfanys?she is intoxicated. She may be a graduate of a great institute presidency?she is drunk. You may have a larger vocabulary than I have, and you may say in regard to her that she is "convivial." or she is "merry," or she is "festive," or she is "exhilarated," but you cannot with all your garlands of verbiage cover u]> the plain fact that it is an oldfashioned case of drunk. My friends, whether 3*011 tarry at at home?which will be quite as safe and perhaps quite as comfortable?or go into the country, arm 3'ourself against temptation. The grace of God is the only safe shelter, whether in town or country. There are watering places accessible to all of us. You cannot open a book of the Bible without finding out some such watering place. Fountains open for sin and uncleanliuess; wells of salvation; streams from Lebanon; a Hood struck out of the rock by Moses: fountains in the wilderness discovered by Hagar; water to drink and water to bathe in; the river of God, which is full of water; water of which if a man drink he shall never thirst; wells of water in the valley of Baca: living fountains of water: a pure river of water as clear as crystal from under the throne of God. These are watering places accessible to all of us. We do not have a laborious packing up before we start ?only the throwing away of our transgressions. No expensive hotel bills to pay: it is "without money and without price." No long and*. dirty ui?fi uciuit; we kci mure: 11 is oniy one step away. In California in live minutes*, I walked around and saw ten fountains*, all bubbling up, and they were all different. And in five ginutcs I can go through this Biblo -*erve and tintl you lifty bright, jj^ui^ntains bi^>Wi n<r ill* inUr A chemist will go to one of tlioao summer watering places and take the water and analyze it. and tell you that it ccftltains so much iron, and so miiVM of soda, and so much of lime, and so much of magnesia. I come to this gospel well, this living fountain and analyze the water, and*T find that its ingredients are peace, pardon, forgiveness, hope, comfort, life, heaven.

Dlnoourtm; of a Young Woman to an Old I.itdy anil Its Aftermath. It was on a streot-oar bound up town at about tho timer whon tho men and women who work In tho great downtown lilvo of business for tho bettor part of tho day nro hurrying homo. Every seat was occupied when tho car stopped and two women boarded it. Tho first was an elderly woman, somewhat fooblo. The second was younger, sturdy and aggress! vc-lookipg. A good-looking man of middle ago nroso from hisuacat, and, touching his hat, naked tho elderly lady to bo seated. Boforo sho could sit down, howovor, tho younger woman pushed her asldo and sat down herself. Thcro was no ono in tho car who did not know that tho man who had glvon up his seat lntcndod it for tho older woman, and tho action of tho younger ono astonished ovorybody tor a moment. Then half a dozen soats were vacated and the oldcrly woman took ono. Tho man who had flrst given up his sent raised his hat to the woman who bad taken tho placo not intended for her, and said in a voice that could bo heard throughout tho car: "Madam, I beliovo you to bo among that class of women who aro always complaining of man's lack of courtesy toward women. You will pardon mo if I say that you aro also ono of that class of women who tempt men to bo discourteous." .Thon ho calmly prooflgrfttvi to rood his evening audfblo BrtickcPwm'th^ongfi tho oar, and ono womoq whispered to another: "Served hor right." Tho woman flushed and looked straight boforo hor, paying no attention. Sho stood tho looks of tho othor passengers for fully half a dozen blocks. Thon she signaled tho oonductor, and looking neither to tho right nor to tho left swept out of tho car. A New York Mail and Express man who had curiosity enough to also leavo tho car at tho samo placo and watch her saw hor board tho noxt uptown car that camo along. Tho rcbuko had had its effect.

I am afraid George was naughty, for all tho time ho kept thinking how nico it would ho to do Just uj ho ploasod, says a wrltor In Nursery. ' Finally ho said: "Mamma, I think I'll run away." "I do not understand you, dear," she answered. "I don't liko U> bo bothered," ho said, "and I want to bo liko Whittington." "Very well, you may go It you aro not happy In your homo," replied tbo .mother. "I will help you get roody. You need not run away." Thon sho tied some of his clothes In a handkerchief, and put tho bundle on a stiok over his shouldor, liko tho picture of Whittingtou. Sho kissed him good-bye when sho opened tho street door for him. George looked pretty solemn as ho went down the stops. In a minute ho went back and rang tho boll. Mary let him in and ho ran into his mamma's room. "May I sleep on tho hack porch tonight?" ho asked.
