A BUSINESS SERMON.

"Seest thou man diligent in his business?
he shall stand before kings: he shall not stand

fowls of the hennery and working hard
all day, he has dead sure thing on the
Presidency, he is counting without the
Chicago Convention. The text does
not mean that. The young man, by
giving diligent heed unto his ways and
keeping his hands clean, by always
earning his breakfast before he eats it,
and wearing old clothes until he can
pay for new ones. and loving his neigh
bor as his neighbor loves himself, and
never running for train or jumping
for ferryboat, may indeed never be
President. Better than that, he may
never want to be President He may
never be worth million dollars. but
he may be rich in the measureless
wealth of contentment with a thousand

fight of the eagle that fans the sun
with its broad and sweeping wing, but
he may keep his ward stirred up to .

Lightning.

The numerous instances of persons be-
ing struck by lightning, should lead
people to observe under what circumstan-
ces the victims became the medium for

most numerous are examples of the folly
of taking shelter under tree in thunder

being in an open door or window,
or about stove, or near chimney, work
ing with Or handling metal implements,
or being in proximity with any good
conductor of electricity. Dry air is
nonconductor, and it is always best to
close doors and windows before the rain
commences, even if it is oppressive for a
little while. ~ .GLy, !isa Il

THERE is an atmosphere of summer all
through the July Harpers. The opening
paper deals with the Nile, now in the sea-
son OF lis inundation, and another with the
st. Lawrence and its summer resorts;
while the approaches to New York, a
London suburb, "Horrow- n-the-Hill," ," and
one Of the suburbs of Washington, Ken
dali Green, are the subjects of other ar
ticles. Both the serials are very sum-
merry; the paper on Bismarck gives a
pleasant account of his summer life, and
one on "Proiessional Beauties of the last
Century," includes graphic description
of summer nights party at Ranelagh
Gardens. There is also paper on cattle
farming at the West, and apoem by Philip
Bourke Marston sings of "Roses and
Nightingales."

In the opinion of the Leader, the
Republican papers of the country are
wasting their space in entering into long
discussions with George William Curtis,
concerning his "reasons" for boiling the
nomination of Blaine and Logan. MIR.
G. w. G. is simply a turncoat. He is like
spoilt child, who, failing to rule his
playmates, goes out in corner and pouts
and says he won't play" There is moth
ing in his lofty air of superiority. His
charges against Mr.. Blaine are unfounded
and unworthy of special attention. Gar
field knew the life and character OF
Blaine better than Mr.. Curtis does
Blaine was good enough for Garfield to
put at the head of his Cabinet and he is
good enough for the great masses OF the
American people. A vote for Blaine, is
equivalent to continuation of the admin
istration OF the lamented Garfield.
