It was surronnded by fine piazzas, or porches or bath houses, where the patients tar VI M.-w - . A ried .until the stirring of the waters. So far as reinvigoration was concerned, it must have been a Saratoga, uong Branch, Brighton, or Margate, on a oTYiftll HCftlfl. We have come to a sea son of the year when our railroads and steamboats are laden wun me ex hanntpd and worn-out businessmen and our pleasure-loving community, who are hastening away, io uie muuu tains and watering places. These fash ienablewaterincr places were the ruin at ion of vat number which n man utter a warmnTViWtf.rAWrV,HfiM - m ... m I A. unmistakable. ' The firet temptation that is apt to hover in this direction is the fact that they leave their ' religien at home. Whila they cared for their cats and dogs, and other pets, they left their re ligion stretched on the rug, and when they came home it was fitark dead. There is no surplus of religion si wa tering nlaceg. Even ministers were in clined to tak6 a day to themselves, and) jin m tne ounaay excur6iuu. when they did preach it was apt to a 'picked' sermon, calculated to excite admiration, rather than an exposition of the old gospel oar puny souls stand in the org: nd squeal a song that nobody knows, and people wershiv with two thousand dollars worth of jewelry on the right hand, while they drop penny into the. col lection box. Another temptation wai horse rac- 'm 11 1 It- - I Ui inff. we ail aamire iqb uono, uut this taste should not De .ctuuratea at the expense of human degradation. The Bible intimates that man is better than A sheep, and I suppose he is bet ter than a horse, thtjugh, like Job's stallion, his neck be clothed with thun der. The races were called summer meeting?, agricultural fairs, &ct but it was impossible to hide the. cheating ard betting and drunkenness and otrahnndafye. Thev drove in their sporting coats and handsome teams, dashing, along by a short cat at 2:40 on the'road to hell. Three weeks be fore the race it was settled who should win, and there were the men and wo men, knowing nothing of this, specu lating their, money their honor, and their homes in their excitement, while VWera andonl mouth. eel men and teuabjr women wer la.t terting on tiieir uxaupocting ictfina. Another temptation was the sacri ficing physical health. people who-retired early at home seldom went to rest before midnight. Balls parties, &c, were all the rago. Another ; tempta tion was from hasty lifelong alliances. There were nineteen blanks to one prize. U'he graceful step and the long train sometimes settle the matter, but what a poor exchange thev are foH common sense. Then there was t.he conceited ape, who was perfumed un til the air was actually sick, spending his summer talking infinitesimal senti mental trash, finding his, delight in lavender kid gloves and flaming cravat. It would take five hundred such speci mens to make a tableBpoonfal of cal ves' feet iellv. Another temptation is baneful lite rature. There are more pestiferous tracts read in these holidays than In all the other ten months of the year, It is said we must have some light in tellectual reading. Literary poison is as bad in August as in beptember. Therefore do not rest your digestive organization by a dosa of strychnine, or a few grain of ratsbane. Yon have books with you in your hours of idle ness which, if at home, yori would not read in vour family at a hundred dol lars a line. ; Another temptation is the intoxj eating beverage, it is Becoming more and more fashionable, I am told, for ladies to drink. And not a long time ago a lady in this city went out visit ing, and after taking a few glasses of police station, and thence to her de graded home. T eare not how well she is dressed, she is drank j She may have a twenty-five hundred dollar carriage, and have diamonds enough to confound the Tiffany's she's drunk ! She may, be a graduate of the. Packer Institute, and the daughter - jof some man nominated for the Presidency she's drunk ! She may be called con vivial, merry, festive, but you .cannot, with all yonr vecabulary, cover up the plain fact that it is an old-iashioned case of drunk. If you' want to drink, drink from the wells of salvation, frojto which, if a man drink, he will never thirst again. 'Ho. every 6n& that thirstt th; come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye, buy and drink.

But, itseeojs -.that while the order has admitted all classes and colors in some places-especially iu England it has failed to do so in some others. The English peppl' feave become dis gusted because, Good Templars hi gome of the Southern States won't affiliate with colored people, and, following the examplft set by the Americans in 1776, they have seceded and, propose to set up f jr themselves ; And, true to history the American Good Templais nbw propose to send Col, Hickman aud others, aero is the waters, just aa Qeorge the third sent his soldiers, in revolutionary tiaes, to whip the seceders back. The battle will be blcoJless, but it will doubtless, be a fierce one. The result will be about the same as that vhlsh attended the efforts' of George the third to whip the seceders of 170. -' Some of the English papers are quite severe upon your Southern Good Temp- words over ttia matter, on tba Aua-siu or the other.rTe world is big enough and whiskey is yet strong enough to give work for hundreds of new tem perance societies. It is wor:e than useless fur Col. Hickman to go to England to explain the matter, or try to pereuada the se ceders back. The English f ally under stand the issue and their journal?, so far as we have S3en, fully endorse 'the action of the se&edafji.

This man died iu Havana, the other day, and the telegram annouueing his deaik sid that he had to be buried by pub'-ic subscription, as he effc nothinj having, giy en all Jbie possessions to tha poor Queer, was it not ? Some peo ple will say he was a very fojlish man. He had plenty of chance3 to make money, which he might have put out at interest till it grew to a fortune. He had a good salary, which he might have hoarded up, t.y by which he might have enriched bis heirs, But, instead of doing any oi these things, this singular Bishop had given all his possessions to the poor, not leaving even enough to pay the expenses of his funeral. He died ot the vomito, which is waging in Havana. He did not -lun : away from the city because the vomiU raged in it, but remained there for the sake oi bis flock, who wefe falling victims to it. , Soma peo ple wid say that this clergyman ought to hare hppked after himself; but," alas 1 he neglected his on interests in every way.

William Hoyle, writina for an E ig- lish paper ou the hard times, the re duction in wages, and the decrease in the English home trade in cotton gopdp and other articles manufactured, puts the matter u thjs manner " H every child that is runnicg about in rgs were properly clad, if ; every oerson who goes tu bed without a night-dress were supplied with one ; if those families who sleep four and five in a bed to save purchasing a second or third bed were to get what they need iu this respect ; aud if those who throw the old, dirty, greasy pjothgs upr on the bed as substitutes for cotton quilts or blankets were to obtain a sufficieut and decent covering ; if eve rv fellow who gets a new suit of clothes ftQ4 dispenses with a lining in order to save i't.-or 3. had tu get li; nings put in his clothes, and the same with ladies' clothing ; and if every house where thy now use rickety old chairs or stools to sit upon Lad to get armchair?i c, comfortably cushioned an l coveted with print, ?fl., say? i; all these olanks were to be filled up, what a home demand there would be for cotton goods as com pared to what it is! And how is it that this is not 80 '? ' The answer lies iu the lacp fnas in 1875, whilst we only spent 11,600,000 on cotton goods, we expended upon in f T VT , .S "X."

Nay, in regard to such a traffic I would say, why should any failitigs be giyen to it at all? . : j . The econoaic laws of trade are as fixed and inexorable ss are the laws of nature, and there can be no violation of tnem without due punishment. Now, there Ian bo no trade without money, or else goods which may be bartered, ani when, as a nation, ; we spend 145000,000 in drink, and have to sacriice .143,O0G;G0Q more o atone for the mischief which the drink doeSj we uegsfjarily curtail our pur chasing powr, n g a consequence we must havt a atag'uant trde.''

J Philadelphia, Pa., June .'21st, 187G. Now, when tho great Exposition has been open for moro than a month, and that, with one or two exceptions; all the foreign countries that are rep resented here have occupied their al letted space and brought their respec tive shows in order, i3 tho bnst lime to form a general idea or " first im pression" of the general effect of the whole a3 a whole. tVhat will firt strike the visitor now, is the immensi ty of the display ; one stands bewild ered amongst these vast accumulations ot the products and industries of both hemispheres, without knowing where or how io begin ; where to go and -What to sea first, and how to get the very most out of a limited allotment of time. . The visitor who , has plent of time to spare can, of course, eay systematica his. plans; au4 'ir''tb,3 cours3 of two or three month' ho v;ili have seen, not all, by any nean3, but the mo3tintrestingeuibit3 of the great show ; but hefho has only a,s many days at his disposal will leave Philadelphia ytKix his mind in a state of chaos ; a"aw of the moet impress- ' ive things being, perhaps, -clearly re membered ; but all the rest jumbled nn and mixed so that he would find it . a difficult task inqeea to giro M intel- ' ligeht idea of tho great Exposition. A friend of mine from a. : Western State remained here two days on his, way to New York, and actually "did!' the show within that period of time.- But when I asked him "what he had seen, he remembered only two things, distinctly ; One was the huge silver cake in the Mexican Department, which is one solid lump of silver yala ed seyeuty-fiya thousand dollars j and the other waj the lrge painting rep? resenting the battle of Gettysbtjrg, - in Lbe 4rt Gallery. As for the ladies who are similarly situated, aud gau oq ly give two or three days to the show,', I am convinced, from actual observa tion, that nine out cf ten remember very little of their experience, except Juvin's latest style, twenty-two button kid glove3 ; the cases containing' Ly? on's silks and velvets, and Brossel's . lace, ud, cf course.
