H "tlmt striko him as important. Ho is in
B 'the attitude of attention and questions
B all his visitors on topics that uro in his

ho always asks tho views of his visitors
is tho propriety of calling an extra ses-
B .sionof congress. He makes no secret
I -of his own opinion , that thero should be
B a revision of tho tariff as soon as possi-
r bio , and does not oxpect that tho two
B parties will agree upon u bill at the ap-
W proaohing session. Whether it is best

K is to him the most important ques-
lion to docido. If an extra session is

K niittco on contested seats and the com-

m\ gating tho claims of contestants aud in

B , and several months later beforo any
B tariff legislation can bo effected. In the
B opinion of most of those whoso advice

If Agree with them. Another important
H point disclosed by visitors to Indiana-
m polis , iB that General Harrison will not
m take part , directly or indirectly , with
/ any party quarrel. If tho republicans
H -of New York , for instance , want a place
j in tho cabinet , they must not get into a
' , squabble over it , for if they do tho pres-
K\ \ idont-elect will decline to show a prefer-
n . _ -once for either faction , but will leave
l | • ? that state ont of his calculations nlto-
lj gcther. This ho has made very clear to
I ) several gontlemen who have called upon
I ! him.
It Thanksgiving day was strictly ob-
H served as a holiday at Harrison's resi-
H deuce. Private Secretary Halford was
H .at his desk in the general's library for a
couple of hours during the morning ,
assorting and reading the morning mail ,
j but beyond this all work and politics
H were for the da3r eschewed. Hon. E. C.
Kerins , of St Louis , was the only
guest , other than Mrs. Brown , that par-
took of the Thanksgiving dinner with
Gtnoral Harrison and his family. They
r sat down to dinner at half-past two , and
B discussed a big fat turkey presented to
II the general yesterday by one of his old
I -comrades , Captain Anderson , of Com-
H pany E , Seventieth Indiana regiment.
El The dinner was much like their usual
II Sunday mid-day meal , cooked and
l | served in the good old-fashioned style
| | handed down to Mm Harrison by her
I Pennsylvania ancestors.
It During the afternoon n few out-of
• town callers dropped in to see the gen-
oral , among them Senator William M.
Stewart , _ of Nevada , who is on his way
[ to Washington , and General James B.
Chalmers , of Mississippi , who is also
• en route to Washington. General Chal
mers has employed Hon. W. H. Calk
ins to oonduct the election contest he
proposes to mako before congress for a
eat from tho shoestring district of Mis
sissippi. General Chalmers stated that
if the south was to bo represented in the
new cabinet his personal preference was
General Mahone , whom he declared had
done more for the party in the south
than any otherv man. " He proposes to
have a talk with" the president-elect to
morrow on southern matters.
MR. BLAINE AS AN EDITOR.
Wrong Pouibilities of HI * Deserting Politic *
for Literature.
The report published Saturday , says a
"New York dispatch , that James G.
. Blaine was about to become the editor
> -of the American Magazine aroused in
1 terest among publishers and local politi-
• cians. There has been so much talk
abouc Blaine's relation to the coming
administration that the report of his
prospective return to the editorial chair
is a matter of more than ordinary im
portance. Blaine is without occupation.
It is known that after his defeat the ad
visability of his entering the field of
i 4ournaKsm was disenssed by him and his
• , intimate friends. Walker Blaine does
t - not like it.out west/preferring-literature
3 * > law , and being very closely associated
with his father in taste and ambition.
r
A prominent publisher near Astor
Plaoe said , when asked for an opinion ,
that he believed there was more truth
in the report than most people fancied.
' [ Blaine , " said he , "need not quit poli
tics to become an editor. If he goes
into the literary field it will be to make
' -money and to hold and increase his in
fluence. "
I "What publication will he associate
with ? "
i "That's a puzzle. He wrote for the
1 American Magazine last September , and
it is generally acknowledged that Mr.
Blaine likes that periodical because it
professes to be strictly American , and in
full accord with his views. Then , too ,
\ .there is a new management and entirely
new directory elected" . The gentleman
then manager , but now president of the
i • company , went to visit Blaine soon after
-the publication of his article and spent
I several days with him over what were
f regarded as future plans. It was re-
[ ported that Blaine was offered § 30,000
; and an interest for regular contribu-
| tions. "
r Mr. "Davis , of the American Magazine ,
[ was seen at his office , 749 Broadway , but
• declined to be interviewed.

A DYNAMITER IN THE COURTS.
John Bronrlt , Charg-d XVith Complraegt
Underlining Trial.
Chicago dispatch : The trial of John
"Hronek , charged with conspiracy tc
blow up the homes of Judges Gary and
Grinnell and Polico Inspector Boufiold
with dynamite , was resumed this morn
ing , tho jury having been secured yes
terday. The state's attorney , Long-
ncokcr , opened the proceedings with a
prefatory statement of the case for the
people.
After Attorney Goldzier , for tho pris
oner , had outlined his defense , which
was the dynamite found in his posses
sion was given him by a man named
Karafiot , Hronek not knowing its nature ,
tho taking of testimony was begun.
The first witness was Frank Olileboun ,
one of the conspirators , who has turned
stnte's evidence. Ho is unable to speak
English , and his testimony is taken
through an interpreter. The witness
testified as to the circumstances under
which he fiist met the prisoners. It was
at "Anarchist Turk's" house , afterwards
he met Copec , and he became intimate
with botli of them. He was a frequent
visitor at Hronek's house. Tho last Sun
day in May Hronek told tho witness how
he had a great scheme to burn up a
lumber yard , but it had been discov
ered , fie had also missed a chance to
kill Bonfield , and was afraid he would
never have another. He testified at
length concerning their experiments
with dynamite , and then said that on
soveral occasions Hronek had said that
he must have revenge for the death of
tho anarchists. He showed pictures of
Grinnell , Gary and Bonfield. A Ger
man named Schneider told where Grin
nell lived and showed a plat of Aldino
square , and on July 4 Hronek , Capeo
nnd the witness went in search of the
house. They finally found the house
and took a good look at it. On the way
home Hronek said President Cleveland
had a narrow escape when on his visit
here. At that time ho ( Hronek ) had
a bomb ready to throw at the presiden
tial carriage , but was dissuaded by
Schneider and Niokolunda. Hronek's
plans were to kill Bonfield first , but on
talking it over with Capeo he decided to
put an end to Judge Grinnell first. He
said that if no better opportunity offered
he would go into the court room and
throw a bomb at the judge. Then if
the police tried to capture him he nould
use a bomb on them , and if this failed
he had a revolver and would shoot the
officers and then himself. If he got a
chance at Grinnell or Gary on the street"
ho would use a knife.
The witness said Hronek's wife did
not have enough to eat , and wanted her
husband to abandon his murderous plan
and go to work , but that Hronek said ho
had a mission to perform , and would
perform it if she starved and he was
hung. After further unimportant testi
mony was given by Chleboun the court
took a recess till 8 o'clock to-night.
Chleboun admitted reluctantly that ho
was an anarchist and had drilled with
the Lehr and wehr verein in the old days
beforo the Haymarket episode. He also
said he had gone to Copek's house to re
ceive instructions in the art of making
dj-namite. Ho paid $2 for the lesson
but didn't learn anything. He said
Hronek had told him on tho trip to Riv
erside that he was the man who threw
the bomb at the Havmarket. At first
Chleboun did not believe this , but when
he saw tho bombs in Hronek's posses
sion ho thought that it was the truth ,
and a few weeks later he told Attorney
Fischer about it Ho had told no one
else prior to this.
At this point a recess was taken.
At the evening session Chleboun was
further cross-examined but. nothing of
material importance was brought out.
J. T. Aarrow , an emploje of the Aetna
powdercompnny , testified to having sold
one of the defendants , Sevic , twenty-five
pounds of dynamite in July , 1887 , and
May , 1888.

A VERY GRATIFYING EXHIBIT MADE.
Operation * in. tho Life-Saving Service for
tho Last J 'leal Tear.
General Superintendent Kimball , of
tho life-saving service , in his annual re
port for the last fiscal year , ended June
80 , 1888 , roports 222 lifo-saving stations
in operation at the close of the year , 170
being upon the Atlantio coast , 44 on the
lakes , 7 on the Pacific coast and ono at
the falls of the Ohio , at Louisville , Ky.
The nnmber of disasters to docu
mented vessels within the scope of the
station operations during the year was
411. There were on board tho vessels
8.653 persons , of whom twelve were lost.
The number of shipwrecked persons
who received succor at the life-saving
station was 743. Tho estimated value
of tho vessels and cargoes involved in
these disasters was § 9,555,385 , and of
this amount $7,776,405 was saved. The
number of vessels totally lost was sev-
enty-ono. In addition to tho docu
mented vessels lost , thero wero during
the j'ear 133 casualties to smaller crafts ,
such as sailboats , rowboats , etc. , on
which were 297 persons , five of whom
wero lost.
Thirty-sovon other persons who had
fallen from the wharves and piers wore
also saved by the life-saving crews ; 492
vessels when stranded during the year
wero piloted out of dangerous places ;
229 vessels in danger of stranding were
warned off by signals and saved from
partial or total loss.
The work of tho year , as indicated by
the foregoing results , Superintendent
Kimball regards as tho best obtained
sinco the general extension of the ser
vice to tho t.ea and lake coasts , for while
the increased number of stations has
has brought a corresponding increase in
casualties within tho domain of the ser
vice , the number of lives lost in propor
tion to the number of persons on board
tho vessels involved is less than ever be
foro , being only ono out of every 237.
The lowest previous loss was in the fis
cal j'ear ending Juno 30 , 1885 , when it
was one out of every 222.
Supt. Kimball strongly recommends
an increase in the compensation of the
surf men , whose hardships and labors he
declares are worthy of better remunera
tion than they receive. He also advo
cates the passage of the bill reported to
the house by the committee on pensions
at the last session of congress , granting
pensions to the officers and enlisted men
of the service , who are subjected to im
minent peril , and to their widows and
minor children. The cost of the service
last year was $928,000 , but this included
some thousands expended during the
year previous , and yet in the saving oi
property the exhibit is very gratifying.
For the current fiscal year ending
June 30 , 1890 , Supt. Kimball estimates
§ 921,160 will be needed.
THE ANARCHISTS AGAIN GROWING BOLD.
A Secret Circular Distributed in Tarioiu
JPavtt of Chicago.
Chicago dispatch : A new anarchist cir
cular , it was found to-day , has been
secretly distributed in various sections
of the city. The dodgers were shown on
the sly by barkeepers in anarchist sa
loons on Celybourne , Blue Island and
Milwaukee avenues and West Lane and
West Randolph streets. It is printed in
red ink , and the matter is of a decidedly
fiery character. At the head is a large
display line , "Richter. " The circular is
issued by tho Arbeiter Bund , the same
society that organized Sunday schools
here in which some hundreds of chil
dren are being taught the doctrines of
anarchism. After telling the working-
man that he is trampled into the dust ;
that he has no recognized rights , ana
that he should assert his independence ,
the circular proceeds to .state that capi
tal , and all who control capital , must be
destroyed , and destroyed quickly , and
that the only efiic.icious method of re
moval is the one adopted and carried
into execution by "tho martyred
advocates of freedom , who gave up
their lives so that the principles
they advocated might be perpet
uated. " "Our time is coming , " the cir
cular continues : "All that remains for
us to do is to forget petty differences
and band together for our own common
object. What a few men cannot achieve ,
many can. They can throttle the capi
talistic tyrant. They can surround him
with fire and bloodshed , and compel
him in war to recognize our rights , a
thing he will not do in peace. " The be
lievers in the cause are pressed to give
all aid in their power toward the organ
ization and success of the various socie
ties now springing up. Aid is again
isked for Sevic , Hronek and Clebonn ,
nd the information volunteered that
jontributions can be left at No. 74 West
Lake street.
"The fact of the matter is this , " said
Albert Currilin , leader of the Arbeiter
Bund , in speaking to-day to a group
tvhom he thought were all sympathiz-
3rs , "capitalism is in the pride of its
strength , and is too arrogant to yield a
? oint that means concession to human
ity and popular rights , 'brit in anarchy
t is listening to the tramp of thous-
incs and its menace it had better heed.
SVhen the capitalists become too aggres-
iive they will find there is still dynamite
nanufactured in this country. "
A Fearful Cyclone at Sex
Captain Chabot , of the French steam
ship Panama , at this port , says a Phila-
lelphia dispatch , reports that Novem
ber 26 the vessel was within 100 miles of
Delaware capes , where she met the ter
rible cyclone which damaged so much
ihipping along the coast. The seas
rere mountainous and all efforts to
ceep the vessel's head on were fruitless ,
is the. > wind threw her around in the
rough of the ocean. At times she was
iompletely enveloped. Carpenter L.
? ranceous , who was at work aft , was
iwept overboard by the waves , which
iame oyer the starboard side , and was
mmediately swallowed up in the angry
ea. At 8 o'clock the same night the
ignals of a vessel in distress were shoot-
ng up from a dark hulk which was
i early level with the water. Captain
yhabot bore down on the craft as near
s possible , but was unable to get close
nough to rescue the crew. He dis-
inctly saw men clinging to the after-
louse waving lights and begging to be
nkeu off. He believes the vessel to
tave been a full-rigged ship. She was
eeply laden and doubtless foundered
ith all on board. When he left them ,
[ iey wero waving torches , but after a 1
jw moments all the lights died out. i

THE CONDITION OF UNCLE SAM'S NAVY.
ASetFor M in th * Annual lleport of Secre
tary Whitnry
Secretary Whitney has presented his
annual report to tho president. Aftoi
giving a brief review of the condition qI
tho navy as it will exist on the 4th day
of March , 1889 , in comparison with the
same as it existed on tho 4th day ol
March , 1885 , and furnishing a list of the
armored vessels heretofore authorized
by congress , tho secretary says : "Tho
efforts of the department in ship con
struction have necessarily , since March ,
1885 , been devoted to unarmorod vessels ,
and as to these , the department is able
to report that when the ships in course
of construction , and those authorized ,
shall have been completed , tho United
States will rank second among the na
tions in the possession of unarmored
cruisers of commerce destroyers , having
tho highest characteristics , viz : of size ,
8,000 tons and upwards , possessing a
speed of nineteen knots and upwards. "
Tho impoitanco which has been placed
upon this branch of tho naval armament
will be appreciated from the statement
that English and France possess sixty-
five vesselB of the class known as un
armored cruisers. "Wo cannot at pres
ent protect our coast , but we can return
blow for blow , for we shall soon bo in
condition to launch a fleet of largo and
fast cruisers against tho commerce of an
enemy , able to inflict serious and lasting
injury thereon. "
With regard to tho production of
power by machinery , the report toys :
"All contracts for the construction of
ships which have been entered into
since March , 1885 , call for tho produc
tion of power machinery equal to tho
highest standards. It is believed that ,
at the present time , the department has
reached a point where entire reliance
can be placed upon it for tho production
of war vessels equal in character to
those of any other country. "
"It is gratifying to be able to report , "
says the secretary , "that notwithstand
ing the largo expenditures for tho new
navyin the last three years , the reduc
tion in other directions has made the
total expenditures of the department
less for these years than for the three
yeais ending Juno 30 , 1884 , the ordinary
expenses of the department having been
reduced over 20 per cent. "
Under the hpad of "Coast and Harbor
Defense Vessels" the secretary states
that , "in tho last annual report of tho
department , considerations were given
leading to the conclusion that it would
be unwise for the department to follow
the course of European powers in build
ing unprotected torpedo boats ; and in
the present uncertainty regarding the
practicability of submarine boats , and
while waiting a practical trial of the ily-
namite gun boat , it had been deemed
wisp for the department to build ono
light draught , heavily armored harbor
defense , floating battery , or ram , for
which designs had been prepared by
the bureau of construction and steam
engineering in consultation with the
chief of the bureau of ordnance. "
Tho business methods of the depart
ment are discussed at some length , and
a history given of the efforts being made
to simplify , systematize and improve
them.
The sj'stem of property accounts for
the navy , referred to in the last annual
report , has been in successful operation
since July 1.
The _ report says that by a careful
watching _ of the disbursements at for
eign stations , and calling the attention
of the pay officers to the subject of their
drafts , by which greatly improved rates
have been procured , the department is
able to report that on items of commis
sion , interest and exchange , whereas a
net loss of $103,493 was made in the two
years and ten months ending April 24 ,
1885 , for the three j'ears ending Juno 30 ,
188 , a net gain of $703 was made.
The report goes on to say that , with
the increase of the number of cruisers ,
it has been recognized , in view of the
recent introduction of high explosive
projectiles and the increase of power
and rapidity of the fire of rapid fire aud
other guns , that renewed attention
must be given to armored vessels , and
the prevailing opinion in England ,
France , Italy , Germany and Russia is
strongly in favor of additional armored
ships to be built at an early date.
The secretary considers the subjects of
improved powder , projectile and torpedo
boats , saying , in regard to the latter ,
that the recent naval maneuvers abroad
have shown that they must still be re
garded as the most useful for coast and
harbor defense
- The estimate 'for the navy andjinarine.
corps for'the current fiscal year amounts *
to $23,003,624 , and for the next fiscal
year to $26,767,677. The appropriations
for the current fiscal year amount to
519,942,481 , being $6,825,000 less than
the estimate for the next fiscal year.
The secretary closes by giving the
main points of reports submitted by the
idmiral of the navy , the chiefs of the
rarious naval bureaus and board of visi
tors to the United States naval academy ,
ibstracts of which have been published
' ronrtime to time.
-our Territories and ihe Oklahoma Bill.
Washington dispatch : Mr. William M.
Springer , of Hlinois , was on Pennsyl-
rania avenue yesterday afternoon. "We
ire going to try very hard to pass a bill
idmitting to the union the territories of
Washington , Montana , Dakota and New
Mexico , " said he , "and we shall certain-
y pass the Oklahoma bill at once. The
iext houso will undoubtedly be repub-
ican by a small majority , and I suppose
he republicans of both the house and
he senate would have no objections to
trenghening that majority. The terri-
ories could be states in time to elect
enators and representatives to theFifty-
irst congress. Montana , Washington
nd Dakota are republican. The senate
oay insist on the division of Dakota ,
nd such action would probably block

Kev. T. Do Witt Talmage , D. D. , took for
his text : "And these are they which ye
shull huvo in uhomiuation among tho fowls :
the owl , tho vulture ami tho bat. Thcso also
shall bo unclean to you among the creeping
things that creep uimhi tho earth : the
chameleon und tho snail. " Leviticus , xi. ,
13-ao. Following is the discourse in full :
Tho Bible offers every possiblo variety of
theme , of argument and of illustration. Wo
caro not much in what kind of a pitcher tho
water of life is brought , if it is only tho
clear , pure water. God gave tho ancients a
list of tho animals that they might eat , and
a list of tho animals that they might not cat.
Thcso Deoplo lived in a hot climate , and
certain forms of animal food corrupted their
blood and disposed them to scrofulous dis
orders , depraved their appetites and bemoan
ed their souls. A man's food , when ho hiis
tho means and opportunity of selecting it ,
suggests his moral nature. Tho reason tho
wild Indian is as cruel as the lion is because
ho has food that gives him tho blood of the
lion. A missionary among the Inaians says
that , by changing his style of food to corre
spond with theirs , his temperament was en
tirely changed.
MOltAL XATUltr.S XSTi FOOO.
There are certain forms of food that have a
tendency to affect the moral nature. Many
a Christian is trying to do by prayer that
which can not be done except through cor
rected diet. For instance , he who
uses swine's flesh for constant diet will
be diseased in body and polluted of soul , all
his liturgies and catechisms not withstand
ing. The Gadareue swine were possessed of
the devil aud ran down a steep place into the
sea , and all the swine ever since seem to
have been similarly possessed. In Loviti-
cus God struck this meat off the table of
His people and placed before them a bill of
fare at once healthful , nutritious and gener
ous.
ous.But , higher than this physical reason ,
there was a spiritual reason why God chose
certain forms of food for the ancients. God
gave a peculiar diet to His ixople , not only
because Ho wanted them to be distinguished
from the surrounding nations , but because
certain birds and animals , by reason of their
habits , have always been suggestive of mor
al qualities. By tho list of things from
which thoy were to abstain God wished to
prejudice their minds against certain evils ,
and in tho list of lawful things given He
wished to suggest certain forms of good.
When God solemny forbade his people to eat
the owl , the vulture , the bat , the chameleon
and the snail He meant to drive out of His
people all the sins that were thus einblenf-
lzed.
IUUVIXG OUT THE DA1CKXUS3.
I take the suggestion of the text and say
that one of the first unclean things the Chris
tian needs to drive out of his soul is the owl.
The owl is the melancholy bird of night. It
hatches out whole broods of superstitions.
It is doleful and hideous. When it sings , it
sings through its nose. It loves the gloom
of night better than the brightness of the
day. Who has not slept in the cabin near
the woods and been awakened in the night by
the dismal "too-hoo" of the owl ? Melancholy
is the owl that is perched in many a Chris
tian soul. It is an unclean bird and needs to
be driven away. A man whoso sins are par
doned and who is on the road to heaven , ha3
no right to be gloomy. He says : "I have so
many doubts. " That is because "you arc
lazy. " Go actively to work in Christ's cause
and your doubts will vanish. You say : "I
have lost all my property ; " but I reply :
"You have infinite treasures laid up in
heaven. " You say : "lam weak and sickly
and going to die. " Then be congratulated
that you are so near eternal health and per
petual gladness. Catch a few morning
larks for your soul and stone this owl off your
premises.
As a little girl was eating the sun dashed
upon her spoon and she cried : "O mamma , I
have swallowed a spoonful of sunshine I"
Would God that we might all indulge in the
same beverage ! Choex fulness ; it makes
the homeliest face handsome ; it makes the
hardest mattress soft ; it runs the loom that
weaves buttercups and rainbows and auro
ras. Qod made the grass black ! No , that
would be too somber. God made the grass
red ? No , that would be too gaudy. God
made the grass green , that by this parable
all the world might be led to a subdued
cheerfulness. Read your Bible in the sun
shine. Remember that your physical health
is cloaejy allied to the spiritual. The heart
and the liver are only a few inches apart and
what affects one affects the other.
IIHIGIITEXIN'G TnE DARK HOCUS.
A historian records that by the sound of
great laughter in Rome Hannibal's assault
ing army was frightened away in retreat.
And there is in the great outbursting joy of
a Christian soul that which can drive back
any internal besiegement. Rats love dark
closets and Satan loves to burrow in a gloomy
soul. "Rejoice in the Lord , O ye righteous !
and again I say , Rejoice ! " Hoist the win
dow of your soul in this the 12 o'clock of
your spiritual night. Put the gun to your
shoulder and aim at the black jungle from
whence the hooting comes , pull the trigger
and drop that croaking , loathesome , hideous
owl of religious melancholy into the bushes.
Again , taking the suggestion of the text ,
drive out the vulture from your soul. God
would not allow the Jew to eat it. It lives
on carcasses ; it fattens among the dead ;
with leaden wing it circles about battle
fields. Wilson , the American ornithologist ,
counted 237 vultures around one carcass. If
crossing the desert when there is no sign of
wing in tho air , a camel perish out of the
caravan , immediately the air begins to dark
en with vultures. There are many profess
ed Christians who have a vulture in their
souls. They prey upon the character and
feelings of others. A doubtful reputation is
a banquet for them. Some rival in trade or
Erofession falls and the vulture puts out its
ead. These people revel in the details of a
man's ruin. They say : "I told you so. "
They rush into some store and say : "Have
you heard the news ? Just as I expected !
Our neighbor has gone all to pieces ! Good
for him ! "
THE VULTURE IK SOCIETT.
That professedly Christian woman , hav
ing heard of the wrong doing of some sister
in the church , instead of hiding the sin with
a mantle of charity , peddles it all along the
streets. She takes the afternoon to make
her long neglected calls. She tells the. story
ten times before sundown , and every time
tells it larger. She rushes into the parlors to '
tell it , and into the nursery to tell it , and in
to the kitchens to tell it. She says : "Would
you have thought it ? WellI always said there
was something wrong about her. Why , I
should not speak to her if I saw her in the
street. Is it not horrible ! But better not
say anything about it , because there may be
some mistake. I do not want my name in
volved in the matter. I guess I will just go
aver and ask them at No. 263 whether they
bave heard it. Guess it must be so , for
Mary Ann says that her husband saw a man
ivho heard from his business oartner that
tiis blind old grandmother had seen some
thing that looked very suspicious.
The most loathsome , miserable , God-for
saken wretch on earth is a gossip. I can
tell her on the street though I have never
seen her befoi'e. She walks fast , and has her
bonnet-strings loose , for she has not had
time to tie them since she heard that last
scandal. She looks both ways as she passes ,
loping to see new evidences of depravity in
the windows. I think that when Satan has
i job so infinitely mean that in all the pit
ie can not find a devil mean enough to do it ,
ind all bribes and threats have failed to set
sne willing for the infernal crusade , he says
: o one of his sergeants : "Go up to Brooklyn ,
md in such a street , on such a comer , get
that gossiping woman , and she will be glad
jo do it. " And sure enough , like a hungry
ish , she takes the hook in her mouth , and
Saten slackens the line and lets her run out
farther and farther , until after awhile he
; ays : "It is time to haul in that line , " and
vith a few strong pulls he brings her to the
jeach of fire. What do you say ? That she
ras a a member of the church ? I can not
lelp that.TALE
TALE BEARERS ABOSIIKATIOXS.
When Satan goes a-fishinghe does not care
vhat school the fish belong to , whether it is
i Presbyterian mackerel or an Episcopalian
lalmon. Amidst the thunder crash of Sinai
3od said : "Thou shalt not bear false wit
less against thy neighbor. " And in Leviti-
: usho says : "Thou shalt not go up and
down ns a tale-bearer. " Take not Into yom
car that scum of holl that people con tittle-
tattle. Whosoever listens to a slander Is
equally guilty with tho ono who tells It , nnd
an old writer says they ought both t > be
hung , the ono by the tonguo nnd tho ohe by
the oar. Do not stnilu ui > on such a spautol ,
lest , lileo u pleased dog , ho put his dirty paw
ujwnyou. Throw back tho shutter of your
soul , O Christian men und woman , ami sco
if there bo within you n vulturo with filthy
talons and cruel beak. Lot not this unclean
thing roost in your ooul , for my text says :
"Yo shull hold in abomination among tho
fowls tho vulturo. "
Again , taking tho suggestion of tho text ,
drive out tho but from your soul. No won
der God set this bird among tho unclean. It
is an offense to everyone Lot it fly into tho
window of a Bummer night , and all bunds ,
young and old , are against it It is half bird
and half mouse. It seems made partly to
walk and partly to fly , and docs nolther
well ; and necomes an emblem of thoso
Christians who try to cling to earth and
heaven at tho samo time. They want to
walk on earth in worldliness und yet fly
toward heaven in spirituality ; und their
soul , between feet and wings , is constantly
] > erplexed. O , my brethren , bo ono thing or
tho other ! Chooso tho world if you prefer
it , nnd see how many dollars you cun win ,
and how much applause you cun gain , and
how large a business you cun establish , and
how grand a house you can build , and how
fast a span of horses you can drive. You
may be prospered until you can fall for
$ o00,000. instead of having tho disgnico of
failing for only $10,000 as some unenterpris
ing people do.
WORLDLY rOmVXES HUT RRIEP.
It is quite a reward to bo ablo for ten or
wenty years to bo called ono of tho solid
men of Brooklyn or Boston , and then , to
mako your fortune last us long us possible ,
wo will give you a splendid funeral und you
shall have twenty-live carriages following
you , with somebody in most of thorn , nnd
your coflln shull huvo silver bundles on tho
sides , and wo will mourn for you in splendid
pockethttndkerchiefs bound with ctoikj , and
with bombazino full twenty yards long ,
trailing half across the parlor , so that all
the company may stand upon it , and wo will
write our letters for the next six months ou
paper edged with black. But my friends , your
worldly fortunes will not last. I will buy
out now nil that you will bo worth in world
ly estate seventy-live years from now. I
have the money m my ] > ocket with which to
do it. Here it is ! Two cents. It is u largo
sum to offer for all you possess at tho close
of seventy-live years. Chooso tho world , if
you will ; but , if not , then chooso heaven.
That estato lies partly on this sido of tho
river , but mostly on the other. It is ever ac
cumulating. The prospect of it makes ono
independent of earthly misfortunes ; so that
Rogers , tho martyr , slept so soundly tho
night beforo his burning , they violently
shook him in order to get him awako in time
for tho execution ; and Paul exults at tho
"joy unspeakable and full of glory. " O ,
choose earth or heaven ! Mako up your
mind whether you will walk in earthly Joys ,
or fly with heavenly expectations. Bo not a
bat , lit neither to walk nor fly , having just
enough of heaven to spoil the world , and so
much of the world to spoil heaven. Christ
says that your piesent condition nauseates
him to positive sickness : "Bucauso thou
art neither cold nor hot , I will spew thee out
of my mouth ! "
NO SERVING GOD VXD MAMMON' .
In the ruins of Pomi > cii there was found a
petrified woman , who instead of trying to fly
fiom the destroyed city had spent her time
in gathering up her jewels. She saved
neither her life nor her jewls. There are
multitudes making the same mistake. In
trying to get earth and heaven they lose both.
"Ye can not serve God and Mammon. " Be
ono thing or the other. Tread tho earth like
a lion , or mount the air like the eagle , for my
text says : "Ye shall have in abomination
among the fowls , tho bat. "
Again : taking the suggestion of the text ,
drive out the rhamcleon from your soul.
There is some difference among good men as
to the name of this creeping thing which God
pronounced unclean , but I shall take the
opinion which seems best suited to my pur
pose. The chameleon is a reptile , chiefly
known by its changcableness of color , taking
the color of the thing next to it , sometimes
brown , sometimes red and sometimes gray ,
but alwavs the color of its surroundings , a
type of that class of Christians who are now
one thing in religious faith and now another ,
just to suit circumstances , always taking
their color of religious belief from the man
they are talking to. They go to one place
and are first water Unitarians. Jesus was a
good man , but nothing more. " They go to
Princeton and they are Trinitarians , almost
willing to die for tho divinity of Jesus.
Among tho Univcrsulists they refuse the
idea of future punishment ; and going among
those of opposite belief , announce that there
is a hell with a gusto that makes you think
they are glad ofit. Drive out that unclean
chamelaon from your soul. Do not be ever
changing the color of your faith.
FORMING RELIGIOUS OPINION'S.
My friends , liberal Christianity , falsely
so-called , believes in nothing. God is any
thing you want to make him. The Bible to
be believed in so far as you like it. Heaven
a grand mixing up of Neros and Paula.
The man who dies by suicide in his right
mind in 1S88 , beating into glory by ten years
the Christian man who dies a Christian
death in lb98 the suicide proving himself
wiser than the Christian. O , my friends ,
let us try to believe in something. An in
fidel was called to the bedside of his daugh-
er. The daughter said : "Father , which
shall I believe , you or mother J Mother took
the religion of Christ , and died in its em
brace. You say that religion is a humbug.
Now I'm going to die , and I am very much
perplexed ; shall I believe you , or take the
belief of my mother ? " The father said :
"Choose for yourself. " She said : "No ; I
am too weak to choose for myself ; I want
you to choose for me. " "Well , " said the fa
ther , after much hesitation and embarrass
ment , "Mary , I think you had better take
the religion of your mother. " The time
will come when we shall have to believe
something. We can not afford to be on tho
fence in religion. Truth and error are set
Dpposite to each other. The one is inflnitely
nght and the other infinitely wrong. In the
judgment day we must give an account of
what we bolieved as well as for what we
icted. The difference between believing
truth and believing error is the difference
between paradise and perdition. I beg you ,
in the light of the Bible , and on your knees
before God , to form your religion and then
stick to it , though business companions scoff
md wits caricature'and the air crackles with
: he fires of martyrdom. Surely truths in
Dehalf of which Christ died and angels of
Sod trooped forth and the whole universe is
narshaled , are worth living for and worth
lying for. Amidst the most unclean things
s this ever-changing chameleon of religious
; heory. Away with the reptile ! God ab-
lors it with an all-consuming abhorrence.
NO SNAILS IN CI1RISTIANITT.
Once more , take the suggestion of the
ext and drive out the snail from your soul.
3od has declared it unclean. It is an ani-
nal to be found everywhere between the
: oldest north and the hottest south. There
ire 1.500 species of the snail. They have no
) ackbone and they are so slow that their
novement is almost imperceptible. You see
t snail in one place to-day ; go to-morrow
md you will find it has advanced only a
ew inches. It becomes an emblem of that
arge class of Christian people who go to
vork with a slowness and sluggishness that
s wonderful. Thoyare stopped by every
ittle obstacle , bf cause , like the snail , they
lave no backbone. Othera mount up on
: agle's wings but they go at a snail's pace.
O child of God , arouse ! We have apotheo-
iized prudence and caution long enough ,
'rudencc is a beautiful grace , but of all tho
ainily of Christian graces I like her the
east , for she has been married so often to
aziness , sloth and stupidity. We have a
nillion idlers in the Lord's vineyard who
iride themselves on their prudence. "Be
irudent , ' * said the disciples of Christ , "and
tay away from Jerusalem , " but he went.
• Be prudent" said Paul's friends , "and
ook out for what you say to Felix. " but he
hundered away until the ruler's knees
mocked together. In the eyes of the world
he most imprudent men that ever lived
fere Martin Luther , and John Oldcastle ,
nd Wesley , and Knox. My opinion is that
he most imprudent and reckless thing is to
tand still. It is well to hear our command-
r's voice when he says "Halt ' * ' but quite as
enportant to hear it when he sajs "For
ward ! " This go3pel ship. ni. • ' < to plough
he sea at fifteen knots an jia. is not mak-
ng three. Sonvtimes it is. most prudent to
ide your horse slowly and pick out the way
or his feet and not strike him with the
purs , but when a band of Shoshone Indians
re after you in full tilt the most prudent
hing for you to do is to plunge in the row-
Is and put your horse to a full run , shout-
ng : "Go 'long ! ' ' until the Rocky moun-
ains echo it.
