I am glad that or shorter time multitudes of our will have summer vacation. The rail ay trains are being laden with passengers and the sea shore.

Lather used to sport with his children; Ed- mund Burke Thomas Chalmers, in the dark hours of the church's disruption, played kite for recrea tion—as I was told by his own daughter and the busy Christ said to the busy aposties, “Come ye yourselves apart into a dessrt rest awhile” And have ob served that they whodo not know how to rest do not know how to work. But [ have to declare this truth to-day, that some of our fashionable watering places are the tem and eternal destruction of “a multitu amid the congratulations of this season and the prospect of the departure of many of waming—plain. earnest and unmistak- able. The first temptation that is apt to hover bome. You wili send the dog and cat and canary bird to be well cared for somewhere alse, but the teuptation will be to leave your religion in the room with the blinds down the door bolted, and then you will come back in the autumn to find that it is starved and suffocated, lying stretched on the rug stark dead.

Ah, my friends, have nothing to do with horse racing dissipations this summer.

New York and Brooklyn idiots boasting of naving imbibed twenty glasses of Congress water before breakfast.

Thousands of men and wen coming back from our watering a the autumn with the fousdations for ailments that will last them all their life long. You know as well as I do that this is the simple truth. n the summer you say to your good health: “Good by; I am going tohave a good time for a little while. will be very glad to see you again in the autumn.” en in the autumn, when you are hard at work in your office or shop or counting room, Good Health will come and say, “Good by; I am going." You say, ‘*“Whers are you going?’ “Oh,” says Good Health, “{ am going to take a vacation! Itis a poor rule that will not work both ways, and your good health will | leave you choleric and splenetic and ex- | ba . You ecoquetted with your good | health in the summer time, and your good of God is the only safe shelter, whether in town or country. There are watering places nooessible to all of us. You cannot open a book of the Bible without finding out some such watering place, Fountains © for sin and uncleanliness; wells of # vation; streams from Lebanon; a flood struck out of the rook by Moses: fountains in the wilder ness discoverad by Hagar; water to drink and water to bathe in; the river of God, which 18 full of water; water of which if a man drink he shall never thirst; wells ef water in the V. of Baca; living fountains of water; a pure river of water as clear as stal from under the throne of God. hese are watering places acoessible 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 wo pay; t is “without money and with- out price.” No long and dirty travel before we get there; it is only one step away. In California in five minutes I walked around and saw ten fountains, all bubbling up, and they were all different. Andin five minutes ‘I ean go through this Bible parterre and find ou fifty bright, sparing fountains bub- ling up into eterndl life. A chemist will go to one of these summer watering places and take the water and ana- lyzs it, and tell you that it contains so much of iron, and so much of sodas, and so much of lime, and so much of nesia. 1 come to this Gospel well, this living fountain, and analyze the water, and I find that its in- radients are 08, , forgiveness, ype, comfort, life, heaven. “Ho, every one t thirsteth, come ye” to this w piace!

The angel of the covenant to- day stirs the water, by do you not step fn it? Some of you are too weak to a step in that direction. Then we take you up fn the arms of our closing prayer and pinsge you clean under the wave, hoping that cure may be as sudden and as radical as with Captain Naaman, who, blotched and carbun- cled, stepped into the Jofdan, and after the seventh dive cams up, his skin rossate com- plexioned as the flesh of a little child.

A ————— A Pamons Artist's Favorites Pastime. One of the favorite pastimes of Albert Bierstadt, the artist, when persons visit him in his handeome studio, at Thirty- third street and Droadway, is to make butterflies. It iss clever piece of work as he does it. He will take s sheet of foolscap paper, pick up his paint knife and begin dropping bits of different col- ors on it. When he has a number of spots placed to suit him he doubles the paper through the centre of them, lays it against a window pane so that it ie trans- parent, and proceeds by gentle pressure of the knife to distribute the paint evenly over the inner surface in irregular lines. ‘When he opens the paper sgain the sides match and form a beautiful butterfly. It takes him less than five minutas to make one of these souvenirs. — New York Pres. a ANION. 5. 000. The Bashi-Bazouks. The Bashi-Bazouks are the irreguler troops in the Turkish srriy. Very few of them are Europeans; thay are mostly Asiatios from some of the [diferent prov- inces under the Bultan's ule in Asia Minor. They are wild, turbulent men, ready to fight with great forocity, but ever more ready to plundes whenever they can get the opportunity to do so. Wherever the Turkish army was sta tioned duriag the Turco-Rissien war of 1854, it was said that thy adjoining vil- lages were in mose terror of Bashi Ba- gouks than of the enemy.

Zisthetic housewives are often both- ered to know just what to do with a pan of game pie, fruit pudding or bak- od custard that comes from the oven with a ragged edge. No matter how delicious the puff-paste may be or how light the heart it covers a brown spat- ter-work along the rim of the dish or a eaving-in of the crust is ocertein to de- tract from the merits of the’ pie, for the reason that the eye 1s the guide to the gustatory taste of the gourmet. The vulgar savagery of hunger has but one sense, but the epicurean must be tempted. It is this knowledge that leads a well-bred butler to dress the fish with lemon-wheels, to garnish the chops with cresses, the filet with cubes of trufiies and eylindrical olives and to scatter rose-leaves over the souffle and joes. Baked beans, delicate puddings and Same pies which are served a'ls buffet and cannot be transferred to an ornamental dish without detriment are sunk in a larger receptacle—a sil ver punch-bow), an ice globe, often a jardiniere, or else a silverplated adjust. able rim 1s attached and the brown or white earthern dish placed on a salver and sent to table. This gastronomic artist, so deft in the manipulation of table-linen, will more frequently bind a napkin about the unsightly bake dish snd pin it with a» rose or a carrot, whittled into a bodkin. However, in a private home the damask is more carefully handled, and an economical housekeeper will hesitate about using her fine linen for a dish muffler to be stained by a peach pie, a cherry pud- ding or the rich wine from a strawberry loaf, If she serves the pastry herself it is a different thing, but the most careful of husbands 1s liable to get giddy in the heat of conversation, dnd spill the few drops that ruin the pree- jous Irish loom. For those who ecan- not afford, or do not fancy the plated lake dish covered and rim, there 1s a a pretty springy paper novelty known as the pie dish frill, or the pie-pan ruffle, which decorates a dish much better than linen and is more econom- ical. The frills are made of amber, cream and delicate opal rice paper in rope pattern, and being elastic can be stretched to fit dishes of various sizes lake the Japanese napkins they are trim, tenacious and cheap, costing but 30 cents a dozen.

Robinson places the incident in the valley of the Jordan, on the way from Galileeto Jerusalem, Andrews, and most other harmonists, place it near the southern border of Samaria, on the way from Epbraim to Jerusalem.

IxcipaNTR On the journey toward Jerusalem, onr Lord enters into a vil- lage where ten lepers meet him; they appeal for mercy. and are bidden to go and show themselves to the priests; as they go, they are healed; one of them, a Samaritan, returns to give thanks; our Lord calls attention to this recog- nition of God by ihe stranger, and sends him away with a commendation of his faith.
