Vacation.

About this time of year the thought
full student of mankind finds his respect
for his race suddenly revived and in.
creased. IT, is the season when men
are either beginning or ending their
vacations. There is no nobler quality
than that of fortitude under suffering,
and when we find a weak and sickly
man starting boldly on a vacation, or
returning with the marks of suffering
and mosquitoes on his brow, but dis
daining to utter the slightest complaint,
We recognize the very highest type of
manly fortitude.
The sum of misery suffered by the
thousands who leave their comfortable
city homes for their August vacation in
the country is simply appalling. We
catch glimpse of it in the haggard
countenances of those who have just
returned and the sudden and vast in
crease in the practice of physicians in
the months of early autumn. Were
this misery endured for the sake of
xacneT or reputation we could feel little
sympathy with the victims, but as it is
met with lofty and heroic spirit at the
sole dictate of duty, the sufferers de-
serve to rank with the noblest martyrs.
The man who goes on q summer vaca-
ton knows that he must sacrifice mon
ey, time, health and peace of mind, and
with no reward but the consciousness
that he has done what mankind has
agreed to call his duty.
A vacation may be spent in three
ways. A man may either 60 to fash
ionable hotel, a country boarding-ho
or the wilderness. There is little
choice among them, so far as the mis-
cry incidental to each is concerned.
Let us suppose that the occupant of q
cool and pleasant house in the city de-
