ALL HAVE TIIIIKK OITOHTUN1T1F.S. Ad exploit I would dellno to be nn heroia act, n brave feat, a groat achievement. "Well," you say, "1 admire such things, but there is no chance for me; tnlno is a sort of humdrum life. If 1 had an Antlo ohus Kplpbsnes to IlKht, I alo could do exploits." You am right, so far us groat wan aro concerned. There will probably bono opportunity to distinguish yourself in battle. Tho most of the brigadier gen erals of this country would never huvo been heard of had It not been for tho war. Neither wllj you probably become a great Inventor. Nineteen hundred and ninety, nine out of every two thousand Inventions found in tho patent otUce at Washington asvor yielded their authors etiough money to pay for tho expenses of securing thu patent. 80 you will probably never Ixi u Morso or an Kdlsou or 11 Humphrey Davy or an 11 Whitney. There Is not much probability that you will be tho one out of the huudred who achieves extraordinary success iu commercial or legal or medical or literary spheres. What then f Can you have no opportunity to do exploits? I am going to show that there aro three oppor tunities open that aro graud, thrilling, far reaching, stupendous aud overwhelming. They are before you now. In one, if not all three of thorn, you may do exploits. The throe greatest thing on earth to do are to save a man, or save n woman, or i child. ' uuflng log tho course, of hi llfo almost very man got Into an exigency, is caught between two II res, is ground between two tnlllstouea, alts on tho edge of somo preci pice, or In somo other way comes uoar dem olition. It may bo a llimuclal or a moral or a domestic or a social or a political exi gency. You sometimes see It In court rooms. A young man has got into bad company and ho has offended thu law, and lie is arraigned. All blushing and con fused ho Is In thu presence of judge aud !ury and lawyers, lie can bo sunt right on n the wrong direction. Ho Is feeling din graced aud ho is almost desperate. Lot the district attorney overhaul him as though ho were an old offender; let thu ablest attoruoys at thu bar refuse to say 11 word for him, because ho cannot atTord a considerable fee; let thu Judge give no op portunity for presenting thu lnltigutlug circumstances, hurry up thu case aud hus tle him up to Auburn or Sing Sing. It he live seventy years, for seventy years he will be u criminal, and each decado of his life will 'bo blacker than Its predecessor. In the interregnums of prUou llfo he can gut do work, aud he is glad to break 11 window glass or blow up a safe or play tho high wayman so as to get back within the walls where he can get something to eat and hide himself from tho giuo of tho world. HE MIGHT IIAVK IIKEN SAVED. Why don't his father come and help hlmf His father is dead. Why dou't his mother come and help hlmf She is dead. Where are all tho ameliorating aud salutary In fluence of society? They do not touch him. Why did not somu one long ago In the case understand that there was an op portunity for the exploit which would be famous In heaven 11 quadrillion of years after the earth has Income scattered ashes in the last wblrlwtmU Why did not the district attorney take that young man Into his private office and say; "My son, I see that you are the victim of circumstances. This is your first crime. You are sorry. I will bring the person you wrouged into your presence, and you will apologise and make all the reparation you can, and I will give you another chance." Or that young man is presented in the courtroom, and be has no friends present, and tho Judge says, "Who is your counsel?" And lie an swers, "I have none." Aud tho judgo says, "Who will tako this young man's case?" Aud there is a dead halt, und no one offers, aud after awhile the Judge turns to some attorney, who never had a good case in all his life and never will, and whose ad vocacy would be enough to secure the con demnation of Innocence Itself. And tho professional incompetent crawls up beside tho prisoner, helplessness to rescue despair, where there ought to bo a struggle nmoug all the best men of the profession as to who should have tho honor of trying to help that unfortunate. How much would such an attorney have received as his fee for such au advocacy? Nothing In dollars, but much every way in a happy conscious ness that would make his own life brighter, and his own dying pillow sweeter, and Ills own heaven happier the consciousness that he had saved a maul DEBTIIUCTION IS UEfOllK HIM. So there are commercial exigencies. A very late spring obliterates the demand for spring overcoats and spring huts aud spring apparel of all sort. Hundreds of thousand, of people say, "It seems we are going to have no spring, and we shall go straight out of winter Into warm weather and we can get along without the usual spring at tire." Or there is no uutumn weather, the ; plunging Into the cold, and the usual clothing which I 11 compromise bctwMn summer and whiter Is not required, It make n difference In the sain of millions and millions of dollar of goods, and somu ovcrsiiuguluu young merchant I caught with a vast amount of unsalable goods that will never bo salahlo again, except at price ruinously reduced, Tho young merchant with 11 somewhat limited capital Is In a predicament. What shall thu old merchant do a they see the young man In this awful crisis? llub their hands and laugh and sayi "Good for him. Ho might havu known belter, When he ha been In limine as long a wo havu ho will not load his shelves in that way. Hut Hat Ho will burst up hefom long. He hud no business to open hi store so near to outs anyhow" Sheriff sitlel licit Hag in the window "How much I bid for these oilfr of-fiuhlou spring overcoat aud spring hat or fall clothing out of datof Whnt do I hear In thu way of a hid?" "Four dol lars." "Absurd; I cannot tako that bid of four dollar apiece, Why, these coat when llrst put upon thu market were offered at fifteen dollar each, aud now I am olTered only four dollars. I that all? Five dollars do I hear? Going at thatl Gonu at live dollars," and ho take thu whole lot. The young mvrchant gou homo that night and says to his wlfu: "Well, Mary, wo will have to move out of thl house and tell our plittio. That old merchant that has had au evil oyu on mo over since I started Im bought out all that clothing, and he will havu it rejuvenated, and next year put It on thu market as new, while uu will do well If wu keep out of thu poor house." Tho young man, broken spirited, goes to hard drinking. Tho young wife with her baby goe to her father's house, and not only I hi store wiped out, hut hi home, his mural and hi prospect for two worlds thl ami tho next. And devil make 11 banquet of lire and (III their cups of gall, and drink deep to thu health of thu old merchant who swallowed up thu young merchant who got stuck on spring good and wont down, Tlmt I one way, and somo of you huvo tried It. SAVB IIIM IN THIS WOULD AND TDK NK.XT Hut there Is another way. That young merchant who found that he had miscalcu lated in laying In too many good of one kind, and been Hung of the unusual season, Is standing behind tho counter, feeling very blue and biting his linger nails, or looking over his account look, which read darker and worse every time hu look at them, aud thinking how hi young wlfu will havo to be put in a plainer house than she over expected to live In, or go to a third rate boarding houso, where thoy huvo tough liver and sour bread live mornings out of tho seven. An old merchant comes In and say: "Well, Joe, this has been u hard season for young merchants, and this prolonged cool weather ha put many In tho dol drums, and I havo been thinking of you 11 good deal of lute, for Just after I started iu business 1 once got Into the sumo scrape. Now, if there is anything I can do to help you out I will gladly do it. Hotter Just put those goods out of sight for tho present, aud next season wo will plan something about thorn. I will help you to somu goods that you can soil for mo on commission, and I will go down to one of thu wholesale house aud tell them that I know you and will back you up, and if you want a fuw dollars to bridge over tho present 1 can let you havo them. Uu as economical as you can, keep a stiff upper lip, and remembex thot you havo two friends, God and my self. Good inornlugf' Tho old merchant goes away and the young man goes behind his desk, aud the tears roll down his cheeks. It Is the llrst tlmo ho lias cried. Disaster made him mad at everything, and mad at man and mad at God. Uut this kindness melts him, aud the tears seem to relievo his brain, aud hla spirits riso frou ten below xoro to eighty in tho shade, and he comes out of the crisis. About three years after, this young mer chant goes Into the old merchant's store and says: "Well, my old friend, I was this morning thinking over what you did for me three years ago. You helped me out of au awful crisis iu my commercial history. I learned wisdom, prosjierlty has come, and tho pallor bus gonu out of my wlfu's cheeks, and the roses that were there when I courted her In her father's house have bloomed ngalu, aud my business Is splen did, und I thought I ought to let you know that you saved a maul" Iu n short tlmu after, the old merchant, who had been a good while slinky In his 1 limbs nud who had poor spells, is called to ' l.llkVll till, Wnrlil 1111(1 illin mnriiltir nf.np l,n ' sv...w v..v ,.u.., .....a wtiviuuilllllKllllui ,u had read thu twenty-third I'salm alwut "Tho Lord ts my shepherd," lie closes his eyes on this world, and an angel who had been for many years appointed to watch tho old man's dwelling, cries upward thu news that the patriarch's spirit Is about ascending, und tho twelve angels who keep the twelve gates of heaven, unite iu crying down to this approaching spirit of the old man, "Come in and welcome, for It has been told all over these celestial lands that you saved a man." TUB WOULD AOAIN8T A WOMAN. There sometimes come exigencies lu the life of a womuu. One morning a few years ago I saw In tho newspaper that there was a young woman tu New York whoso pocketbook, t-ontulutug thirty-seven dol lars aud thirty-three cunts, hud been stolen, and she hud been left without a penny at the beginning of winter in u strange city, und no work. And although he was a stranger, I did uot ullow tho 0 o'clock mall to leave the lamppost on our corner without carrying the thirty-seven dollars and thirty-three cents, and the caso was proved genuine. Now, I have read all Shakespeare's trage dies, and all Victor Hugo's tragedies, aud all Alexander Smith's tragedies, but I never read a tragedy more thrilling than that cose, aud stmlllar cases by the hun dreds and thousands in all our largo clttes. loung womeu without money and with out liouw aud without work in tho grent uiaciairuum ui metropolitan me, wnen such a case come under your observation, how do you treat It? "Get out of my way. We have no room In our establishment for any more hands. I don't believe in women anyway They are a lazy, Idle, worthless set. John, please show this per son out of the door." Or do you compllmeut her persoual ap pearance and say things to her which If any man said to your sister or daughter you would kill htm on the spot? That Is one way, and it is tried every day In the largo cities, and mauy of those who adver tise for female bands in factories and for governesses iu families have proved them selves unfit to be tu any place outside of hell. But there is another way, aud I saw it one day in the Methodist Uook Concern In New York, where a young womuu ap plied for work, and the gentleman In tone and manner said In substance: "My daugh ter, we employ womeu here, but I do not know of any vacaut place In our depart ment. You bad better Inquire at such and such a place, and 1 hope you will be successful lu getting something to do. Here ts my name, and tell them I sent you." The embarrassed and humiliated woman eeeraed to give way to Christian coaaV deuce. She started out with a hopefal look that I think must havu won for her a pin ce In which to earn her bread. I rather think that considerate and Christian gen tleman saved a woman. New York and llrooklyu ground up last year nbout thirty : thousnud young women and would like to ' grind up about a many thl year. Out f all tlat long procession of women who march on with no hope for thl world or tho next, battered und bruised and stolTid at, nml Hung otT the precipice, not one but I .might havo iM-eu Hiived for homo njmiGod ' and heaven, Hut good men and good worn- I m aro not In that kind of business. Ala for that poor thing! Nothing but the thread 'of that sewing girl' needle held her, nud tho thread broke. A CONTIIART. I t have heard men tell In public discourse : what a man K hut what I a woman? Until somu otio shall glvu a better dellul- t Hon, I will tell you what woman I. !)', , rect from God, 11 sacred anil delicate gift, I with directions so great that no ineosurln,; j line short of that of thu iullnitu God can tell their liountl. Fashioned to relno aud I soothe and lift aud Irradiate home and so ' duty aud the world, Of such value that no otiu ran appreciate It, unless his mother lived long enough to let him understand It, or who In somo great crisis of life, when all else failed him, had a wlfu to ro-euforcs him with 11 faith In God that nothing could disturb. Speak out, ye cradle, and toll of the feet that rocked you and thu anxious faces that hovered over yotil Speak out, )u nurseries of all Christendom, and ye homes, whether desolate or still In full bloom with thu faces of wlfu, mother aud daughter, mid I help mo to dellno what woman Is. Hut as I geographers tell tin that the depths of tho sen correspond with thu heights of thu I mountains I havo to tell you that u good womanhood I not higher up than had j womanhood Is deep down. The grander thu palace thu more awful thu couflagni Hon that destroys It. Tho grander tho I steamer Oregon thu more terrible her go lug down Just otT thu coast. ' row 1 should not wonder If you trem bled 11 llttlu with a sense of responsibility whuu I nay tlmt there in hardly a purson In this house but may havu au opportunity to save it woman. It may iu your case !u done by good advice, or by llimuclal help, or by trying to bring to hear somu 0110 of n thousand Christian Influences. If, for In stance, you find a woman In financial dis tress aud breaking dowu in health aud spirits trying to support bur children, now that her husband is dead or an invalid, do ing that very important and honorable work but which Is little appreciated keeping a boarding house, where all tho guests, according as they pay small board, or proposu, without paying any board at all, to decamp, aro critical of everything aud hard to please, busy yourselves In try tug to get hermoru patrons, and tell her of divine sympathy. Yea, If you seo u woman favored of for tunu and with all kindly surroundings finding In tho hollow flatteries of tho world her chief regalement, living for her self and for time as If there went no eter nity, strive to bring her into tho kingdom of God, as did tho other day a Sabbath school teacher, who was the moans of the conversion of the daughter of a man of Immense wealth, and thu daughter re solved to Join the church, nud she went homo und said, "Father, I 11111 going to Join tho church, and I want you to come." "Oh, no," hu said, "I never go to church." "Well," suld the daughter, "If I were going to be married would you not go to see me married?" And ho said, "Oh, yeB." "Well," said she, "this Is of more impor tance thau that." So ho went and has gone ever since, and loves to go, I do not know but that faith ful Sabbath school teacher not only saved a woman, hut saved a man. There may lie in this audience, gathered from all parts of thu world, there may be a man whose be havlor toward womanhood has been per fidious, llupeutl Staudup, thou master plecuof sin aud death, that I may charge youl As fur us possible make reparation. Do not boast that you havu her iu your powur aud that shu cannot hulp herself. When that line collar and cravat, and that elegant suit of clothes comes oil aud your uncovered soul stands beforu God, you will be better off If you save that woman. Volt MAY S.VVK A CHILI). There is uuothor exploit you can do, and tlmt Is to savu 11 child. A child does not 8eu,n to amount to much, year old beforu It can walk t - -. 1 it . It Is nearly a at all, For tho first year und n half It cannot speak a word. For tho llrst ten years It would starve If It I had to earn Its own food. For the first j fifteen years its opinion on any subject is absolutely valueless. Aud then there uru I so many of them My, what lots of ehll- j drenl And somo eople have contempt for ' children. Tliey aru good for nothing but to wear out the carpets and break things and keep you awake nights crying. Well, your estimate of u child is quite different from that mother's estimate who lost her child this summer. They took it to tho salt air of the seashore aud to the tonic air of the mountains, but 110 help came, and the brief paragraph of its life Is ended. Suppose that llfo could I hi restored by purchase, how much would that be reaved mother give? She would take all thu Jowela from her lingers aud ueck and bureau nud put them dowu. Aud If told that that was uot enough sho would take her house and make over the deed for it, and If that wore uot enough she would call lu all her investments nud put down all her mortgages aud bonds, and if told that wcro not enough she would say: "I havo made over all my property, and if I can have that child back I will uow plodgo that I will toll with my own hands and carry with my own shoulders in any kind of bard work and live iu a cellar und die in a garret. Only glvo mo back that lost dar ling!" I am glad that there are thosu who know ' something of a value of 11 child. Its possl bltlties are tremendous. What will those hands yet do? Where will those feet, yet walk? Toward what destiny will thnt never dying soul botaku Itself? Shall those lips be thothronuof blasphemy or benediction? Come, chronolouists. and 1 calculate the decades on decades, the cen turies on centuries, of Its lifetime. Oh, to savo a child! Am I not right In putting that among the great exploits? Hut what are you going to do with those children who are worse off than If their father and mother hud died the day they were born? There are tensof thousands of such. Their parentage was .against them. . Their name is ugulnst them. The structure of their skulls Is against them. Their 1 nerves and muscles contaminated by the Inebriety or dissoluteness of their par ents; they are practically at their birth laid out on a plank lu the middle of tho Atlan tic ocean, in an equinoctial galu, and told to make for shore. What to do with them ts the question often asked. . There Is another question quite as perti nent, und that Is, What are thuy going to do with us? They will, ten or eleven years from now, have as many votes ns the same , number of well born children, aud they 1 will hand this land over to anarchy and political damnation just as sure as we ueg- lect thrtn. Fiuppone we each one of us save boy or save a girl. You can do It, Will you? I will. KNOW GOD AND DR 8TRONO, How shall we get ready for one or all of these three exploits? Wo shall make a dead failure If In our own strength wu try tosavoa matiorwoinap or child. Uut my text suggests where wo are to get equip ment. "Tho people that do know their God shall be strong nud do exploits," We must know him through Jesus Christ lu our own salvation, und then wo shall huvo his help In the salvation of others, And while you are saving strangers you may savo some of your own kin. You think your brothers and sisters and children nud grandchildren all safu, but thuy aru net dead, and no one Is safe till ho Is dead. On thu English count there was a wild storm and a wreck In tho oiling, and the cry wu, "Man the lifeboat!" Hut Harry, tho usual leader of the suitor') crow, was not to lie found, aud thuy went without him, and brought back all tho shipwrecked peoplu but one. lly this tlmu Harry, thu leader of tl.u cruw, appeared and said, "Why did you leavu that one?" Tho answer was, "Ho could uot help himself at all, nud wu could not get him Into thu bout." "Man thu llfo boatl" shouted Hurry, "and wo will go for that one." "No," said hi nged mother, standing by, "you must not go. I lost your father in 11 storm like this, and your brother Will went oil' six years ago, unit I havo uot heard u word from Will since he left, unit I dou't knuw where hu is, poor Will, and I cannot let you also go, for I am old and dependent on you." His reply whs, "Mother, I must go and mvo tlmt one man, und if I am lost God will tako care of you lu your old days." Tho lifeboat put out, unit uflcr nn awful struggle with the sen thuy picked the poor fellow out of thu rigging Just in time to save his life, and started for tho shore. And ns thuy camu within speaking dis tance, Hurry cried out, "Wo saved him, and tell mother It was brother Will." Oh, yes, my friends, let us start out to save some onu for time and for eternity, some man, somo woman, some child. And who knows but It tnuy, directly or Indirectly, be tho salvation of onoof our own kindred, nud that will hu an exploit worthy of cele bration when thu world Itself Is ship wrecked, nud thu sun has gone out like 11 spark from a smitten anvil, and all the stars are dead I A Wumlerfill Voice. Thu worthy clerk of a country church which tho writer oucu frequently attended was the happy possessor of a tremendous bass voice not musical. His resonant "Amen!" made tho windows nrttto so tho folks suld. Certainly It uwed every play fully inclined youngster into rigid atten tion. The distancu tho villagers said It could be heard, If "writ" down, would pro voke derision. In course of tlmo tho vicar died, and u stranger took his place a nerv ous gentleman. When that tremendous "Ah-h-h-iuenl" reverberated down the aisle ho shivered and shrank 11a if a blow had beeu struck him. Unable to sutler lu silence, ho one dny remonstrated with the too audible clerk. Suld ho: "Mr. G , I should bo glad if you would speak tho responses In u more gentle voice. Your 'Amen' particu larly gives me a shock." "A a shock, slrl" stammered tho as tonished otTcndcr, in a voice that appeared to proceed from his boots. "Why why I've been parish clerk here for thirty years and and" Ho could not finish tho sen tence. The tdci thnt his "grand nmcn'l should bo shocking to anybody prevented utterance. "Aro you so attached to that unmusical bull's organ of yours that you nre unwill ing to moderate its roar?" the vicur asked. "That's it, sir," was tho deep reply. "I couldn't do It. Gives you a shock? I think it's Boinething to be proud of. Thu old vlcnr was very proud of It." In brief, the worthy fellow olTered to surrender Ids of fice. So long its he occupied tho lowest Beat lu the "three decker" he must be al lowed to rour. Tho vicar guvo in, for his parishioners were almost ns proud of tho clerk's "Amenl" us that worthy himself.

L'Abbu Mouly, thu only priest who re ceived the decoration of the Legion of Honor on the occasion of July 14, will cer tainly uot be grudged tho distinction con ferred upon him even by thu most hard ened enemy of the church. Ho Is, lu fact, onoof those heroic, self sacrificing work ers who in every nation nud every climu earn tho unbounded admiration and re spect of their fellow creatures, L'Ahhe Mouly, who is now iu his fifty-fourth year, served for a long period as military chap lain in various French possessions. The worthy priest was acting in this capacity at Guadeloupe during the Mexican cam paign, aud all the French transports touched there on their way home from the seat of war. A terrible epidemic of yellow fevor broke out among the garrison of 800 men, u" many as twenty-live und thirty deaths oc curring dully. All the doctors aud the Sisters of Mercy were curried olf by the pestilence, and for three weeks the heroic priest whs alone lu ministering to tho sick. Iu consequence of his meritorious conduct tho nbbe was recommended for the Legion of Honor, hut his nomination was pre vented by tho events of 1870. Whilo at Gundeloupo he also distinguished himself by building on tho He des Saintes, assisted only by a fuw convicts, n chupel surmount ed by a lighthouse, which enables vessels to pass through a dangerous rocky chan nel in perfect safety. The abbe, who has wnited so long for the well merited recognition of his services, has for ten years past occupied tho post of chaplain to the National Lunatic asylum of Charcutou. London Telegraph. Wttalieil III Qreenback. Speaking of money reminds mo to ask it you have ever washed any 111 thy lucre. I never heard of such a tiling until recent ly, when I happened to bu making u social call at thu home of a physician. Pausing a moment at thu open door of his olllce, I noticed n row of "greenbacks" hanging on a string stretched from thu washstand to the chimney piece. "I am Just washing somu money," he said. "1 do It because I get money from all kinds of people, und It Is ofteu so hor ribly dirty that I know It Is a breeding place for microbes. I wash every grimy anl ragged bill that comes to me. Glvu mo one of yours aud I will show you." With some misgivings I handed him 11 di lapidated live dollar bill. The physician lathered Its face generous ly with soup, und begun u vigorous rub bing. Then rinsing it olf lu cold water, he squeezed It dry, and, smoothing It out again, hung It In the bright sunshine. To my surprise, lu a few moments It became a clean, crisp aud self reK-ctlug product of thu United States treasury Instead of the limp dlsgruco 1 had la-en carrying nbout.
