Tlio Model Teacher.
"Loveas a llcstnilnlng nnd ncformiiiK
Power , " was the subject of Uev. T. J.
Mackay's discourse ) last evening. In develop
ing the subject ho showed that our civilization
is the outgrowth of the gospel of love as
enunciated by , le us Christ. Tlio govern
ment of physical force-operating through
fear was , and is constantly being supported
by the government of love operating
through the better natuie , the affections of
man. Progress toward the Ideal lifo is made
just in proportion , UK love takes the place of
fear and the rule of love the tyranny of the
rod. Men respond to the treatment they re
ceive and produce just what their surround
ing ami controlling influences are. Hate pro
duces hate. Suspicion gives distrust , con-
lldeuco breeds trust and love respond ? to
love. Thu sumo is true of the child. The
teacher iu the school whoso moral fnlluenco
IK not sufllclcnt Jo mould the pupil , will llud
his woik only half douo at the best , and thu
rod will not make up the deficiency
existing in the moral methods. Ho
can reach n child directly through the affec
tions while any other road Is tortuous and
does not reach the object. Ho nmy rule with
the rod but ho does not govern. "Thu .suc
cessful teacher is born not made. " "Punish
ment for wrong doing partakes of the uatura
of vengeance , not of reform. "
The bcrmon was an exposition of the Ideal
government which , according to the scrip
tures , will bo realized In the future.

The Sin oTThc AK < * >
An Intensely practical discourse was de
livered by llev. Mr. > Inekey yesterday morn
ing. "As a peoplc vo are extravagant , " said
he and thus furnished the subject of his scr-
moil. "Theie being no limit to the ambition
of the jioorest citizen of the country there Is
a constnnt tendency among all classes to imi
tate the follies nnd fashions of those above
them , and in a country like this , where the
to'diiy may be the master tomorrow -
morrow , we must wonder that there exists
Mich n spirit of cimihitlcn union * ; all grades
of society from the lowest to the highest.
In fact , many nro in-oud of their extrnva-
franco and make nn ostentatious display of
their wealth as If Mich a display was a virtue ,
not a fault. We are apt to despise the
hi other In the parable of the prodigal won
Avho remained at homo , a ipiiet steady , plodding -
ding , unni | . ' man who never had even a kid
killed that he might make merry with his
friends , while our sympathies go
out to. the prodigal who spent
-o * . quickly bis Inheritance In
sensuality and riotous living and who , when
driven by actual starvation , at last repents
and returns to his father's home. Our pity
is misplaced , and a stern judgment of the
piOilifMl's course ami lit i-mist-iim-n
would prove wonderfully invigorating in
these days of laxity and Indifference to the
steiner duties Of life. What we spend is
justly our own. no doubt , and we lay our
selves open to no Indictment of the law by
our extravagance , but wo are morally re-
sensible lor our action and Jnstli entitled to
receive cobdcmnatioii. It can bo shown , in
fact is apparent , that extravagance is at the
bottom of many of tbu biiukrupt''ies , of the
falls from positions of trust and honor and is
the cause of much of thu genteel poverty that
exists to-day. Surely that which causes so
much uiihappincss is most pioperiy ucoi- ; : : :
nated a sin.
No sooner docs a man become successful in
business , no sooner dees a speculation or
Ventura put him in possession of a
sum of money , than ho immediately
begins to use it us n means
for i.-liinbing higher in the social si-ale , which ,
in this western country , is typiliedln , a ladder
each rung of which is ivgiaduul ascending
scale of dollars and cents. The old home in
which the family lived so many years is sud
denly discovered to bo too small and in an
undesirable neighborhood ; the list of calling
acquaintances too limited , so banquets and
small dinners are given to strengthen their
position on the ladder. A closu scrutiny of
tliu occupants of the same rung of the ladder
is made to ascertain thonecessary accompani
ments of that social height , and art and cul
ture arc called in , unwilling und unknown
guests , to belli on tlio fond illusion that they
are at least in the region where they can look
down with complacency and pride upon the
pit from which they were rescued , by econ
omy and thrift or by a lucky turn of tlio
wheel of fortune. And tlio wheel
goes umiid and round , increased ex
penses eating rapidly into tlio in
creased income until at last the inevit
able result stares them in the face , bank
ruptcy. .And even now they could bu saved
by an acKiiowledgemenl of their false posi
tion and by ictrenchment ; but pride forbids.
Debts care incurred and means of all kinds
are lesorted to to btnve elf the evil day , but
it comes at last. This covers all classes of
business , all over the laud , sea side resorts ,
cities , country , communities , etc. The mer
chant , the professional man , , the mechanic ,
the farmer , all are whipped with the sumo
lash , ami to keep up with their sets they
build upon a futuio which novel-comes except
to mete out to them the legitimate results of
their folly. "
The speaker referred at length to the ex
travagances young men indulge in , in order
to keep up appearances. Young Indies came
in for wholesome advice in allowing such
things to bo done even "for their dear
sakcs. " The display in dress indulged in
by our young women has kept
many a hardworking parent poor to gratify
such foolish ambitions ; has kept mandpi
young husband's nose on the grindstone at tcr-
murriage ; has hindered many an honest man
from asking her hand in marriage. " Seal
skin saciues | , diamond jewelry and other
"needless" luxuries receive a liberal atten
tion. The display of things in churches was
characterized as unchi istian , and made abor
tive all tlio purposes of worship and even
worship itself.
"No one is morally right in spending need
lessly upon himself , when so many avenues
are open to him in which to relieve the dis
tressed , the suffering and the needy. Honest
and misfortunatu poverty has a claim upon
thu wealth of the world and God will require
at our hand strict account of tliu use of
these talents. "

A Practical Joke Itooincmni ; .
Pcoria Transcript : There is one
darky in Pcoria who will play no more
tricks or practical jokes for a while , at
least. Tliis is something for which he
lias been somewhat noted in the past.
Shortly after the anarchist executions
ho met another darky , who was badly
frightened.
"Sam , ' ' said he. "I'so almost afraid to
go to bed. Suppose some nrnikist Crow
a bomb 'gainst me sometime when I was
gwino home/ '
"PhawP answered Sam. the joker ,
"that ain't the way they do. They'll
just drop a bomb iti your back yard , and
you'll wake up some morning and lind
your&cl , a mile high and a cellar in de
back yard. "
Then linding that .Toe was so badly
frightened , Sam resolved to have some
fun with him. Ho took about. three
inches of gas pipelilled it up with sand ,
plugged up one end , and in the other
inserted a piece of lire crackorwith the
snap removed , so that it would merely
fix. He then took it and quietly placed
it in Joe's back yard. Unfortunately
for the success of his project , Joe was
peeping through the cracks of the stable
where Sam was manufacturing the
bomb , and also saw him place
the bomb in his back yard. The
next morning Sam was over to see. lee
early. Ho drew him gently in the
back-yard , and there pretended to dis
cover the bomb. Joe jumped about
three feet in the air , and exhibited all
the marks of extreme terror. Ho
wanted Sam to leave the spot with him
at once and warn the family. And Sam
sat down on the doorstep and laughed
until his back ached.
"Joe , " said ho , "you am do darudest
fool niggah I obbor see. Dat am noth
ing. Why , I could lire dat off in my
mouf. " And ho picked up the gas-
pipo.
"Sam ! Sam ! " yelled Joe. ' 'drop dat ,
or fore do Lawd you'll bo blowed up. "
'
Sam'sonlynnswer was tolaugh harder.
Then ho pulled a match , held the gas-
pipe up to his mouth and touched the
match to it.
The next moment there was a flash , a
spattering sound , a red light , a howl ol
terror and the most surprised darkey
ever seen in these parts was dancing
around , with a burned month , blacken
ed face , his eyebrows singed off , his
nose , mouth , ears and hair full of sand.
Ho doesn't know to this day after ho
deposited that bomb in Joe's yard the
latter took it in the house and substi-
uted powder for a portion of t he sand.
Tlio Uoatity ol' Woman
is her crown of glory. But alas ! how
quickly does the nervous debility and
chronic weakness of the sex cause the
bloom of youth to pass away , sharpen
the lovely features , and emaciate the
rounded form ! There is but one rem
edy which will restore the faded ro > cs
and bring back the grace of youth. It
is Dr. Piorco's "Kavorito Prescription , "
n sovereign remedy fur the diseases pe
culiar to females. It is one of the
greatest boons ever conferred upon the
human race , for it preserves that which
is fairest and dearest to all mankind
the beauty and.hcalth of women.
Slio Tackled The Wrong Sinn.
Now York World : An amusing inci
dent growing out of a similarity in
names occurcd at one of the uptown
hotels yc&terday. A young gentleman
of this city , who is engaged to a young
lady living in the country , wrote to his
llan'ceo that ho was obliged togoU
Europe and would sail Wednesday , am'
askeu her to come here , as ho could not
spare the time to visit her homo to sa.\
good-bye. The young lady tarried no' '
a moment after receiving the letter and
boarded the next train for the metropo
lis. She reached hero in duo time , am
after engaging rooms for hertelf starlet
out to find her lover's hotel , being si
anxious to see him that she could nof
brook the delay which would be neces
bary in bcndinu word that she was m
town. She found'thj > hotel , Which is
one of the ' oui tp and best in the city ,
and i'.ng to the olllco inquired of the
; tdrk if Mr. was in. The clerk
aid he did not know , but hu
vould send her card up and IIml out. A
mil boy took thu card , " "d returning in
i few moments said the gentleman was
ipstnirs with his wife , but would see the
outig lady in Ike. parlor in a few mo-
nents. Then there was a tableau. The
oung lady became almost hysterical ,
i ml commenced. . , ( o cross-question the
> oy about this woman and tliu location
if the room , etc."Until at last the clerk
nterrupted her by asking \vhat she
neant. "Why1 , * 1 am engaged to bo
married to that gentleman. ' she an-
iWered , "and ho has no wife. " Then
he clerk became indignant and said he
vould turn the couple out. The girl
hen wrote on a card : " 1 must see . \ou
it once. " and signing her name1 ,
lespatchcd the hall boy to tittd and bring
lown her recreant lover. This note
iroiicht the man down , but as soon nn
ic appeared in sight the young lady's
inger fast melted away and'-her face
crimsoned with mortification , for the
nan who appeared in aiiswertt ) her im-
icrioiis demand was not her lover at all ,
nit an entirely different person , whose
lame sounded like that of her bcthroth-
cd. The mistake had arisen with the
clerk , who had not caught the right
mine.
