Brooklyn, Aug. 3. Come ye

! racing business. We all admire the
i hor. ■. There needs to be a redistribu
> tiou of coronets among ilx brute crea
i tion. For ages the lion has been called
j the king of beasts. 1 knock oil its
| coronet and put the crown upon the I
I horse, in every way nobler, whether in :
1 shape or spirit or sagacity or intelli- I
• gence or affection or usefulness. Hu is |
semi human, and knows how to reason
on a small scale. The centaur of olden
times, part horse and part man. seems
to boa suggestion of the fact that the '
horse is something more than a beast.
JOB'S apostrophe ix> the house.
Job sets forth ids strength, his beauty,
his majesty, the panting of siis nostril,
the pawing of his hoof and his enthu
siasiu for the battle. What Rosa Bon
> hour did for the cattle, and what Land
seer did for the dog. Job, with mightier
pencil, does for the horse. Eighty-
| eight times does the Bible speak of
i him. lie comes into every kingly pro
: cession, and into every great occasion,
and into every triumph. It is wry evi
j dent that Job and David and Isaiah
and Ezekiel and Jeremiah and John
were very fond of the horse. lie came
much their Ini \ red
hor-e that meant War; a bl . k h-*i ■ ■
■ —that meant famine; a pale horse—
that meant death; a white horse—that
meant victory.
As the Bible makes a favorite of the
horse, the patriarch, and the prophet,
and the evangelist, and the apostil*
i stroking bin sleek hide, and patting his
' rounded neck, and tenderly lifting his
i exquisitely formed hoof, and listening
. with a thrill to the champ of his bit, so
all great natures in all ages have
spoken of him in encomiastic terms.
I Virgil in his Georgies almost seems to
plagiarize fiom the description of Job
The Huke of Wellington would not al
' low any one irreverently to touch Ins
j old war hors Copenliagen, on whom
he had ridden fifteen hours without
I dismounting at Waterloo;and when old
; Copenhagen died his master ordered a
military salute fired over his grave,
i John Howard showed that he did not
\ exhaust all his sympathy in pitying the
human race, for when sick ho writes
home, • lias my old chaise horse !>■■
come sick or spoiled;”
But we do not think that the speed
of the horse should bo cultured at the j
expense of human degWidation. Hor
races in olden times were under the |
ban of Christian people, and in our day |
the same institution has come u »under |
tictitsus names, ami it is calk 1 a
“summer meeting,” almost sug,"‘stive
of positive religious exercises, and it
is called an “agricultural fair," sug
gestive of everything that is improving
ifi the art of farming. But under tide
deceptive titles are the same cheating
and the same betting, the san:? drunk
enness, and thc'HuUio vagabondage. and '
the mine abominations that v.cr** to be
found under the old horse racing sys |
tern
RACING SPOILS MORALS.
I never new a man yet who eoul 1
give him - If to the pleasures of the
turf for a long reach of time and not
be battered in morals. They hook up ■
their spanking team, and put on their j
sp rtingeap, and light their cigar, ami I
take the reins, and dash down the road
to perdition. 'Die great day at Sara
toga ami Long Branch and Cap;* May
and nearly all the other watering
plae *s is the day of the races. The
hotels are thronged, nearly every kind
1 of equipage is taken up at almost fabu
lous price, and there are many respect
able people mingling with jockeys
ami gamblers and libertines and foul
mouthed men and flashy women. The
bartender stirs up the brandy smash.
The bet > run high. The greenhorns,
supposing all is fair, put in their money
I soon enough to lose* it. Throe weeks
before the race takes place the struggle
is decided, and the men in the secret
know on which steed to bet iheir
money. The two men on the horses
riding around long before arranged
who shall beat.
Loaning from the stand or from the
carriage are men and women so ab ;
sorbed in the struggle of bone ami |
muscle and mettle that they make a
grand harvest for the pickpockets, who
carry off the pocketbooks and porto
mommies. Men looking on see only
two horses with two riders flyingnround
; the ring, but there is many a man on
that stand whose honor and domestic
happiness and fortune whit' mane,
! white foot, white flank nr? in the ring,
i racing’with inebriety, and with fraud,
and with profanity, ami with ruin
black neck, black foot, Nack flank. :
Neck and neck they go in that moral
Epsom.
ILAVK NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
Ah my friends, have nothing to do
w ith horse racing dissipations th: sum
mi r Long ago the English govern
ment got through looking to the turf
1 r the dragoon and light e:iv;dry horse.
I They found the turf depict ini . the
sto -k. ami it is yet worse for men.
Thomas Hughes, the member < f parlia
ment ami the author, known all the
world over, hearing that a now turf en '
terpri.se was being started in this conn
try, wrote a letter in which he said, i
“Heavin help you, then; lor of all the
eankers of our old civilization there is
nothing in this country approaching in '
unblushing meanness, in ras ■idity hold- I
ing its head high, to this belauded insti
tution of the British turf.”
Another famous sportsman writes:
“How many fine domains have been
shared among these hosts of rapacious
shark? during the last 200 years, and
ui.loks the systeTfi be altered Jiow many
more are doomed to fall into the same
gulf f’ The Huke of Hamilton, through
his horse racing proclivities, in throe
years got through his entire fortune of |
x;J.'50,000, an I 1 will say that- some of
i ar being undermined by it. With
111? bull fights of Hpam and the bear
Lail in.' iof the pit may the Lor I God
anoiliiiale the infamous and accursed
bo? r.’ii ing of England and America!

women coining buck from our water
ing places in the autumn with the
foundations laid for ailments that will
last them all their life long. You know
ns well as I do that this is the simple
truth.
GOOD-BY, GOOD HEALTH.
In the summer you say to your good
health: “Good-by; I am going to have
a good time fora little while. I will be
very glad to see you again in the
autumn." Then in the autumn, when
you are l anl at work in your office or
shop or counting room, Good Health
will come and say, “Good-by; lam go
ing.” You say, “Where are you go
ing!” “Oh,” says Good Health, “I
am going to take a vacation I” It is a
poor rule that will not work both ways,
and your good health will leave you
choleric and splenetic and exhausted.
You coquetted with your good health
in the summer rime, nnd your good
health is coquetting with you in the
winter time A fragment of Paul's
charge to the jailer would be an appro
priate inscription for the hotel register
in every watering place, “Do thyself
no harm.”
Another temptatii>n hovering around
the watering place is to the formation
of hasty and life long alliances. The
watering places are responsible foi
more of the domestic infelicities of thi
country than all the other things com
blued. Society is so artificial there
that no sure jud 'inryt of character can
be formed. Those who form < ompan
ionships amid such circumstances
into a lottery where there are twenti
blanks to one prize In the severe tug
of life you want ui ire than glitti r and
splash. Life is not. a ball room when
the music decides the step, and bow
and prance and graceful swing of Ion:
i trial can make up for strong couui m
I sense. You may as well go anion.,' tin
gayly painted yachts of a summer r
' gatta to find war vessels astugo among
the light spray of the sunimor watering
i to find character that, con stand
I the te.-t of the great struggle of human
life. Ah. in th.* battle of In • you want
a stronger weapon than a lace fan ora
enspict mallet! Th:* load of life is st
heavy that in order to draw it you
wa it a. team sirong.’r th i < io made
up of :: uni' *llllllO gras; !. and ;
f minim- butterfly.
A WORD ADOPT THE I : DE.
If there is any man in th • eommuni
! ry that excites my cont; apt. am! that
, *xeit"s the >nt *mpt of cv. ry man and
woman, it i< the soft 1: ;n led. soft
Loaded fop who. perfunr 1 until the
an- is actually sick, spends his smmuei
I in taking killing attitudes, and waving
i sentimental adieus, and talking infill
itesimal nothin g . and finding his heav
en in the s t of a lavender l id glove;
boots as tight as an inquisition; two
hours of eou unimate skill exhibited in
the tie of a fluming cravat; his con ver
sation made up of "Ah’s" and “Oh's”
and "fie lice's." It would take live
hundred of them stewed down to
make a toaspoonful of calf's foot jelly.
Thcre’is only one counterpart to sueh
a man ns that, and that is the frothy
young woman at the watering place—
her conversation made up of French
moonshine; what she has on her head
only equaled by what she has on her
back; useless ever since she was born,
and to be useli*s.< until she is dead.
And wlint they will do with hor in the
next world 1 do not know, except to
set her upon the banks of the River of
Life for all eternity to look sweet!
God intends us to admire music and
fair faces and graceful step, but amid
lb • heartle .-ness, mid the inflation, and
ihe fanta-'tie influences of our modern
watering places beware how you make
life long eovenants!
Another temptation that will hover
over the watering place is that of bane
ful lit rat tire. Almost every one start
ing oil for the summer takes some
reading matter. It is a book out of
the library or off the bixik stand, or
bought of the boy hawking books [
through thocars. I really believe there
is more pestiferous trash r >ad among
the intelligent c!a.'.*< in July and Au
gust than in all the other ten months
| of ‘i Men and women who at
home would not bo satisfied with a
book that was not' really sensible I
found sitting on hotel piazzas or under
the trees r. ading books the index of
which would make them blush if they
knew that you knew what the book
was.
.SHUN BANEFUL LITERATURE.
“Oh.” they say, “you must have in
tellectual recreation!” Yes. There is
no need that you take along into a
walering place “Hamilton's Metaphys
ii ," or some thunderous discourse on
the rnal decrees, or “Faraday's
Philosophy.” There are many easy
b< Iks that are good. Y’ou might as
well say, “I propose now to given little
rest to my digestive organs, and in
to;. 1 of eating heavy meat and vege
iiibJvs 1 wijl for a little while take
lighter f *od -a. little strychnine and a
few grains of ratsbane." Literary- ,x»i

nipt | riiitlug press Jump and craw) ,

turn elevate ttw wnole urei mynearers,
• | these will not be an hour between thi?.
mid tin* day of your death when you
ran afford to read a. bixxk lacking in
i moral principle.
i Another temptation hovering all
I around our watering places is the in
j ioxicatiug beverage. lam told that it
I is becomiqg more and more fashionable
for woinAi to drink. I care not bow
r well a woman may dress, if she has
, taken enough of wine to flush her
I tsheeks and put glassiness on her eyes
she is intoxicated. She may be handed
. into a ij!2,500 carriage, and have dia
i morui- enough to confound tin? Tiffanys
-she is intoxicated. Six) may be a
( graduate of a great, .institute, and the
laughter of some man in danger of be
ing nominated for the presidency—she
is drunk. Y’ou may have a larger Vo
cabulary tiian I have, and you may
say in regard to her that she is “con
vivial,” or she is “merry,” or she is
“festive,” or she is “exhilarate;l." but
you cannot with all your garlands of
verbiage cover up the plain fact that it
is an old fashioned case of drunk.
Now the watering places are full of
temptations to men and women to tip
ple. At the close of the tenpin or bill
iard game they tipple. At the close
of the cotillion they tipple. Seated on
the piazz.* cooling themselves off they
tipple. The tinged glasses come around
with bright straws and tliey tipple.
First they t ike “light wines,” as they
call them; but “light wines”arelreavy
enough to debas * the appetite. There
is not a very long road between cham
pagne at five dollars per bottle and
whisky at. live cents a glass.
Satan has three or four grades down
which he takes men to destruction.
om* man he takes up, and through one
<pre>* pitches him into eternal dark
ness. That is a rare ease. Very sel
lom. indeed, can you find a man who
will be suc'i a fixfl as that.
When a man goes down to destruc
tion Satan brings him to a plane. It
is almost a level. The depression is so
slight that you can hardly see it. The
man does not actually know that he is
on tile down grad. *. and it. tips only a
little toward darkness— just a little.
Ami th** first mile it is claret, and the
second mile it is sherry, and the third
mile it. is punch, and the fourth mile it
is ale. and the fifth mile it is porter,
and th;* sixth mile it Ls brandy, and
then it gets steeper and steeper, and
the man gets frightened and says, “Oil
let me get off!" “No," says the c
fluctoi "this is an express train, io?
