mOucrh bctheSua was meant TO recuDer-
ate the physical health; and vet how
many come from the watering places.
their health absolutely DESTROYED! New
York and Brooklyn idiots boasting of
having imbibed twenty glasses of Con-
greSS water before breakfast. Families
accustomed to going To bed at ten
o'clock at night goSSiping until one or
TWO O'Clock in the morning. DySpep-
tics, usually very cautious about their
health, mingling ice creams, lemons,
and lobster salads. and cOcOa-nutS, until
the gastric juices lift up all their voices
of lamentation and protest. Delicate
women and brainleSS young men chaS-
SEEING themselves into vertigo and
catalepSy. Thousands of men and
women coming back from our watering
places in the autumn with the founda-
tons laid for ailments that will last
them all their life long. You know as
well a. | do that this is the simple
truth.
In the summer you say TO your health,
"GOOd-by, / am going to have a good
time for little while. | will be very
glad TO see you again in the autumn"
Then in the autumn, when You are hard
at work i'm your Office, or shop, or
counting-room. Good Health will come
and say, "GoOd-by, | am going" You
say, ''Wherc are you going?' so,
says Good Health, Il am going TO take
a yacati0n.' II is poor rule that will
not work both ways, and your health
will leave YOU chOlcric and Splcnetic

your good health in the summer time.
and your good health is cOquetting with
YOU i'm the winter time. A fragment of
Paul'S charge TO the jailer would be an
inscription for the hotel
register in every watering place: "Do
myself no harm.
Another temptation lowering around
the watering place is To the formation
of haSty and lifelong alliances. The
watering places are responsible for
more OF the domestic infelicitieS of this
country than all the other things COM
bined. Society is 50 artificial there that
NO sure Judgment of character can be
formed. Those who form companion
ships amid such circumstances 90 into
"a lottery where there are twenty
blanks TO one prize. In the severe
tug OF life YOU want more than gilt
ter and splash. Life is not a ball
room, where the music decides the
step. and bow and praucc and graceful
swing of long trail can make up for
strong common sense. You may aS well
90 among the gayly painted yachts OF
summer regatta 10 find war vessels rs
Il. ftt a he
mcr watering-placc to find character
that can stand the test OF the great
struggle of human life. An, in the bat
tleof life You want a stronger weapon
than a lace fan or a croquet mallet. The
load of life is So heavy that i'm order TO
draw 20 you want a team stronger than
one made up of masculine graSShop-
per and "a feminine butterfly.
ABOUT THE DUDE.
II there is man i'm the community
that eNcitcS my contempt, and that eX-
cites the contempt of every man and
woman. il is the Sof(-hauded, Soft-hcad-
ed fop. who, perfumed until the air Is
9ctuallv sick. spends his summer in Ia
king killing attitudes. and waving SEN
timcntal adieuS. and talking iniinitcSl-
nal nothingS. and finding his heaven IN
the set of "a lavender kid glove. Boots
as tight as am IuQuisition, Two hours OF
couSummatc skill exhibited in the Tie
of a flaming cravat, his conversation
made up of "Ah's" and obs and
"He-hee'S." II would take 500 OF them
stewed down TO make teaspoon
ml of calvcS-foot jelly. There
is only one counterpart To such man
as that. and that is the frothy young
woman at the watcriug-placc, her con-
vcrSatiou made mp of French moon
shine: what She has ON her head only
cqualcd by what she has ON her back;
useless ever since she was born, and 10
Doe useless until she is said; and what
they will do with her in the next world
/ DO not know, except 10 set her upon
the banks of the River of Life for all
eternity 90 look sweet, God intends Us
10 admire music aud fair faces and
graceful step. but amid the heartlc>S-
ness and the initiation aud the fantastic
Influences of our modern watering
places. beware how you make lifelong
covenants.
Another temptation towering all
around our watering-placcs IS the IN
beverage. am told that 1t
is becoming more and more fashionable
for women 20 drink. | care not how
Well q woman may dress, if she has
taken enough wine TO flush her check
and put glaSsineSS on her eyes, she is in
toyicatcd She may be handed into a
=. 500 carriage. and have diamonds TO
coufouud the TidauyS-She is intoXi-
Gated. She may be graduate of a great
institute. and the daughter Of some man
En- danger of being nominated for the
PrcSidency-shc is drunk You may
have a larger vocabulary than l have,
and vlu may say i'm regard TO her that
she is "convivial, or she is merry, or
she is festive or she is ''eNhilarated,
but You cannot with all yonr garlandS of
yerbiage cover up the plain fact that 1t
is an old-faShioned case of drunk.
SATAN HAS THREE OR FOUR GRADES
down which he takes men to destruc-
ton. one man ne takes up, and through
one spree pitches him into eternal dark
ness. That is a rare case. Very sell
dom. indeed. can you find man who
will bee such q fool rs that.
When man goes down 10 destruction
satan brings him TO q plane. 1t is al
most a level. The depression is sol
slight that You can hardly see it. The
man does not actually know thpt he isl
ON the down grade. and il tips only
little toward darkncSS-iuSt a little.
And the first mile it is claret. and
the second mile it is sherry, and
the third mile tits punch, and the fourth
mile it is ale, and the fifth mile it isl
porter. and the sixth mile it is brandy
and then it gets sleeper aud sleeper
and the man gets frightened and says
"Oh. let me get off, NO, says the
conductor. this is an express train, and
it does not stop until it gets to The,
