The Season.--The present time is sort of
holiday or resting spell in the country. That is,
our farmers are not SO busy but they can spare
a day now and then to 90 to camp meeting, and
the boys and girls get the horses occasionally to
90 on a party of pleasure. This is the time Of
year chosen for country gatherings, and for
several weeks hence harvest-homes and pic mics
will be frequent. Success to all such say we.
To everything that tends to bring persons So
cially together, and unite and strengthen the
ties that ought TO bind the whole human race.
Rudely enough are these ties sundered many
and many a time in this cold world and with a
feeling very different from love do we look upon
our brother man. Unmoved we hear the story
of his misfortunes, and needing not his sorrows
turn again to the idols of gold and silver that
we have Sc! up for gods.

Summer is Going.-We are already in the last
month OF Summer, and the cool evenings and
the mornings begin to remind us that soon the
Autumn will be here. Summer is going, and
ere long the bright flowers will fade. and the
melancholy music Of the falling leaves will
salute our ears. The summer is going, and in
thy breast O! brother traveller in this life-way,
will arise the question what has thou done
Hast thou dealt justly, not only justly but kind
ly, brotherly toward all men2 Hast thou done
thy might 10 make the law of universal love
prevalent? We say this question wiH arise; see
to it that thou art able to answer. The summer
is going, and thy life too is going, gradually
wearing out. Art thou careless on this point
and sayest thou'I care not how soon, for am
weary" Say not so. The rest is not to those
who weary on the way, but to those who perse-
we're to the end. "Fight on, thou brave true
heart and falter not, through dark fortune and
through bright. The cause thou fghtest for,
so far as il is true, no farther, yet precisely Sc
far, is very sure of victory"

are men engaged in that business exclusively,
enough to supply the wants of the community,
and he goes ON the principle ofhying TO lire and
let lire.
John--Ah, that's the reason Wells don't keep
Boots and Shoes. Then such a man should be
encouraged by every friend OF Home Industry,
and whatever want in his line of business
will buy of him, if he will sell to me right
