SUNDAY THOUGHTS! ON MORALS5 MANNERS

XT A CLEEOTMAjr. It is one of the encouraging eiprns of the times that Christian people and the religious press are discussing mori and more, and with practical intent, the question of how to reach the unchurched multitudes. True, the question is not new, pave in the widespread interest it awakens. Tis like Banquo's ghost, and will not "down." Like all moral if-suesj it remains iineettlod until settled right. Jast now Arthur I'ierson in America and Cunningham Geike in Europe have aid their eay on the volcanic theme, and the two speak like one in the same tone. They agree that the only practicable method lies through blood-red earnestDflFS. Geike (whose life of Christ is one of the best) shows tnat John Baptist bad no difficulty in reaching the people and that his pet-ret lay in hi utter honesty and absolute devotion. Ho discarded the ordinary aims of lift and lived, not for ambition, plea-uie. money-prabbirj, but for the glory of God and the help of men. llence men recognized and responded to him. Just so with the apostles. They were mortally in earnest, l'aul was an embodied Vesuvius. Wherever he appeared religious movements burst out like lava streams. 1'eter and John were liquid re, kindled at Pentecost. Then men did one thine, and on y one preached the gospel, and, like JetuB, they nought and caved the lost. They Raid, "We seek not yours, but tou." Kings and tl.eir subjects, whole provinces, vast empires, wero evangelized. Qln order effectually to reach the masses today we must go about it in the apostolic pint. Kihibit toward them the spirit of Jesus; live in stith a way as to make it roanifeat that religion is the pupreme concern, show them the love of God, and the thing is done. I'at, as Geike says, it is of no use for a rich archbishop in London or a fat pardon in America who has "made a food thing, of it" by choosing religion as a tailing to try to reach the masses. Let euch an one first show his sincerity by acting en Bunyan'a "here little, and hereafter bliss." Let him give up everything beyond a modest sustenance on the apostolic fccaJe. Who can believe a man who is trylDg to make the best of both worlds? Every one feels that he is a eham, that his relicion is nicely arranged, subordinated to his worldly interests; that it is in fact as much a "business" as any other pursuit or profession. Geike clows trenchant article as follows: "To reach the masses, in ehort, the religion of pulpit, pew and bishop'? throne must be real. What good is it to talk of bringing in the millions by make-believe; and what else is it than make-believe on a large fcale when well-to-do sinners have bows and smiles from parsons in private, and are Lever troubled by any pulpit allusion to their short-comings, while the air is shird with denunciations of poor gutter offenders? Call the devil by his name wherever you find him in Yall-ft.,on 'change, in "syndicates," in "corners," in death-trap houses for the poor in the thousand forms in which ho masquerades in our midst. Some prophet who fears nobody hut God must ri.se some one with the creat heart of Jesus Christ, who bearded high priest, rabbi, any one found doing Trrong, and exposed hypocrisy highplared and was the friend of publicans and sinners, pointing them to the Father above, but at the same time himself bearing their infirmities and healingtheir sicknesses and brightening their dart lot with divine sympathy." The recent murder of Dr. Leidcrraann near San Itemo, like the similar case of Eyraud in Paris, points the world-old moral that danger lurks in cypri&n chambers. Strange that men old enough to know better, and so placed socially that they have no need to gratify their passions illicitly, should preeist, deaf to all warnings, blind to all perils, in rushi ng upon death. The man without a conscience muht bo expected to have at least common sense. Yet every day we see reproduced the picture drawn by the wie man thousands of years ago: "A foolish woman is clamorous. She aitteth at the door of her house to call passengers. Whoso is simple let him turn in hither, and as for him who wanteth understanding, she will tell him: Stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret Is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell." As nearly as can be estimated, there are now in this country about one-third of a million Bohemians, 1,500,000 Tolcs .(of whom 100,000 are in Chicago), and iuu,uuu Hungarian blavs. ine rapid increase of our Slavic population is shown by the fact that of the Soo immigrants who settled in Cleveland, O., in November, 1800, 575 were Slavs. Some of the best fruits of Christian work, and not a few of the loveliest examples of intelligent, coneecrated and successful Christian workers re to be found among such of these peoples aa have been educated in the United States. Efforts on behalf of the Slavs betraa in 1884. There are now twenty-nine missionaries fully engaged In their evan- , Relization, laboring in twenty different stations in eight states. The only Bohemian Christian newspaper in the country is the Pzavda ( Truth i, published in Chicago and widely circulated. We once stood at the foot of a Swiss mountain lowering from theVispbach valley to a hight of 10,000 feet. It looked like a hopeless pull to the top. But saying, 'Tis but a step at a time," we started tip. Before sunset our party stood on the summit amid the kindling scenery which exhausts the resources of light and altitude, while opposite flashed the icy crown of the Weiaahorn, discovered by Irof. Tyndall. Let every boy who has a difficult study to master, and every youth .who wishes to rise in life, remember that the task can be accomplished, ah tnat is needed is a itep at a time. . We find la a contemporary the follow ing statement: A successful business man says that he learned two things when he was eighteen years of age which were afterward of jrrtat nvs to bin, tir.., neter to loeo anything and never to forget anything. An old lawyer sent him with an Important paper and gave him certain instructions. "But,' said the young man, "suppose I lose it, what shall 1 do then?" "You must not loe it" "I shall not mean to, but what If that ghould happen?" "But I tar it must cot happen. I shall make no provision for euch an occurrence ; yon must not lose it." This put a new idea into the young man's head. Ever after he made such a rovision against every contingency that ie did not lose things. He found this equally true about forcetticg. If a matter of importance was to

be remembered, be pinned it down on his mind, in.-tened it there and made it stay He said: "When a man tells me ho forgot to do something, I tell him he might as well say, 'I do not rare enough about your business to take the trouble to think about it.' Forgetting is a lazy, careless habit of the mind winch can be cared." In periods which are wanting Inspiration piety assumes the character of caution. Ikce Homo. One great secret of the moral disasters constantly occurring, the shipwrecks of character that each daily issue of the paper brings to our notice, lies in thr ncgativeness of current morality. These defaulter?, fraudulent cashiers and treasurers that are published as deacons and Sunday-school superintendents, are not men who believe ia righteounees, but men whose belief in righteousness has no positiveness or atlirmativeness. C. If. Varkhurst. As a general ru'e, eelf-contemplation is a power toward mischief. The only way to grow is to look out 'of one's sell. There is too much introversion among Christians. A shipmaster might as well look down into the hold of his ship for the north star aa a Christian to look down into his heart for the sun ot righteousness. Out and beyond is the shining. Deecher. Faith and IIopo are twin sisters and hardly to be known apart, both as beautiful as they can be. Yet they need not be mistaken for one another, because between them thero is this clear differencethat while Hope expects Faith inspects; while Hope is like Mary, looking up-ward. Faith is like Martha, looking atward. While the light in the eyes of Hope is high, the light in the eves of Faith is Btronir; while Hope trembles in expectation, Faith is quiet in possession. Hone idealizes; Faith realizes. Anon., Most of the little mean work of our nature is generally done in a small dark closet just a little back of the subject in which we profess to bo interested. Mrs. II. U. Sloue. Christ is not valued at all unless He be valued above all. St. Auguttine. Hero is a boy's essay on total abstinence. 'Tis a whole temperance volume in a nutshell: "I abstain from alcoholic drinks becnuso if I would excel as a cricketer, Grace says 'abstain; as a walker, Weston says 'abstain;' as an oarsman, Hanlan says 'abstain;' as a swimmer, Webb says 'abstain;' as a doctor, Clark says Sbstain ;' ns a preacher, Farrar says 'abstain.' Asylums, prisons and almshouses repeat "the cry, 'abstain 1' " As this is the woman's age, and as it is often objected to any enlargement of her 6phere that she would be driven to neglect her household duties, we call attention to two or three noted cases of remarkable women who shone at once as scientists and as housekeepers. Laura Bassi occupied the chair of physics in the University of Bologna, Italy, for thirty years, bhe became a professor at twenty-one; she married; she had twelve children. Nevertheless she did not permit maternity to interrupt her university routine. Her home, where she carried on many scientific experiments, was proverbially orderly and was a Mecca of the mind. Mrs. Somerville, too, was the mother of five children by her two marriages, yet she centinued to stndy and to write on astronomy. Harriet Martineau sketched her home. "It was delightful to see her, always womanly, always well dresaud, no appearance of self-consciousness, no obtrusion of any peculiarity. A tea at her house was a rare treat beauty and order on every side; the walls hung with fine drawings, her music in the corner, and her tea-table 6preai with good things." A woman under any and all circumstances can be trusted to remain a woman. Tho strongest part of the dam should bo that against which the current sets. Teoplc talk about religion as being a restraint, remarked a popular pastor, gossiping in a circle of intimates; and it is so in one sense but it is a verv email sense. There are in man certain destructive tendencies passions which make him their sport, appetites which coerce his better judgement, and religion puts a curb UDon theso and reins them in. But it has larger and better uses than this. Fetters and gag do not represent it. It directs more than it dams up; it germinates more than it stamps out. God purities the soul much as we air our rooms. We do not keen the doors and windows shut and throw in chemicals, trusting that they will master and renew the vitiated element ; we open all the doors and windows and ventilators and let God's pure air flow in from without, and thus purify tho chambers. So it is with religion. It throws open the windows of the soul the windows of feeling, of impulse, of imagination, of purpose and sends a strong current of vitalicd grace sweeping through them, until every apartment of our nature is reoxygenized and made healthy and bracing. Negatives do not express religious duty. Tho "sha'l nots" are lees frequent than the "shalls." Keligious life is the slow growth of all tho faculties, and not the slow strangulation of them. Religion no more cramps a man than fins do a iish or wings do a bird. It supplies hiin with propelling power. A Christian man should Le an active man, every iibro vibrating with energy. Tho gospel ia a gospel of liberty, not of slavery. Tho moro it works out its legitimate etlects in man, the more is he emancipated. The direct promise is: "Tho truth shall make you free."

Some people are like snails ; they carry their church home around with them on their back. They are never eeen twice in the same church. Keligious vagabonds are they, forever on the move, and without a ri red abode. Nothing short of death in their family gives them a pastoral connection. Tis astonishing how many moribund parishioners tho pastor of a city church has. Snow Two Miles Deep. ICkicago Tribune. "Yes, I faavo been in a country where the snow is two miles deep," said N. B. Lazard, a mining expert from Tombstone, Ariz., at the Palmer houee yesterday. Mr. Lazard was in the Fast during the recent snowstorm and was talking about what the people in Pennsylvania called a blizzard. "They thought the two-foot fall of snow was something to talk about," continued the visitor, "but if they would visit Alaska about two hundred miles up the Yukon river they would find snow that tor miles is so thick that the banks almost reach the skies. If it deeps on accumulating as fat as it has during the last ten years scientific men will not be able to say truthfully the earth is round. I was in Alaska in the Consoflake region in 1833, and that year the snowfall was quits) heavy. Snow that falla there remains, tor it never melts " Look nc Forward. The Jester. The young son and heir to W. W. Attor is now about eight year old. and will, in the usual course of nature, come into a fortune which, by the time he inherits it, will have reached a point between $400,000,000 and $500,000,000. The Philadelphia girl he is to marry is now a pretty tot of three vears of age, but it would be manifestly unfair for me to rereveal her name at this early stage of the interesting affair.

THIS BOY HAS NO HOME.

A WASHINGTON WAiF'S EXPERIENCE. Other Stories for Young Folks The Tender Ittte Child Prince flenrj'o Cradle at Pan Who Can Tell? Children's YVlt Probleme. There is a little colored boy named Taul Hopkins who opens carriage doors in front of public places whose history is one of no littlo interest, says the Washington Star. He is on band rain and shine, mud or snow, to call for carriages when tho the theatrical performances are over and to see that no mud or dust gets on the dresses or skirts of the ladies and that the door is snugly closed upon safely-peaied occupants. The police officer, who is pretty sure to be on band to see that things move along smoothly and peacefully about the theater doors, does not order him away. He has a full and authenticated right of way, and no other gamin, white or colored, is allowed to encroach upon his prerogative or territory for an instant. He guards his rights with a jealous care, and if he even snills danger from afar he is up in arms and ready for war on the spot. Some four or five years ago he began tho work of opening carriages, blacking shoes, and doing email chores about the theater incidentally, and was then In a ragged, filthy and forlorn condition. He attracted the attention of Officer Moore of tho Fir&t precinct, who became interested in Iih behalf. Tho boy's father had died some years before, and his mother bad just died in 6qua!or and poverty ir. a discreditable alley. He was a waif without parents, without a home and without friends to look after him. Without possibly a right, but with sufficient reason, he was allowed the exclusive privilege of being a carriago boy at the theater, and protected by Orlicer'Moore and his brother officers whose lot it was to happen around the theater at the beginning and conclusion of performances. The boy has stuck to his place for more than four years, and is a graduate in his acquaintance by sight with the citizens of Washington and the public ineu and women who frequent tho theater, and an expert in deciphering tho . "liberal" minded ones who are likely to tip him a dime or so for his trouble. He knows tho drivers, the horses, the carriages, and the owners individually, and can pick out a desired team the darkest night and get proprietor and equipngo together with eurprising dispatch. The party who fai:s to tip him, however, t'je second time, especiallyand even a penny is thankfully received gets "cut dead," and may bawl himself hoarse the next time without attracting the door-opener's attention. On a rainy night a few weeks azo a party who had "done him three times without s' much as a nodder," as the boy said, called lustily. The boy heard him not but went richt along calling up other carriages and waiting upon other people. Ofiicer Moore stirred himself and sent the boy after the much-wanted vehicle, and he got the party, but uot without remarking in rather a loud undertone, "in hearin' of his nibs," as he said, something about not "settin' up nights in dig bupinese for fun." The boy has no homo and sleeps most of the time, winter and summer, under the broad iron steps that lead up to the theater door. Once, some time ago, an officer heard a moaning noiso under thooo steps, and, punching underneath with a cane, found that it was the carriage collector and he was snoring in his sh-ep and that his bed was only a few old papers spread on tho ground. It suited him, however, and he regards it as rather a hightoned arrangement. It is entire y a matter of choice with him though, for he is making money and could take care of himself very comfortably if he wished. He earns sometimes $lli to $15 a week from his various pursuits, tor he shines shoes, runs errands and does odd jobs in addition to hia work around the theater. But, like so many of his race, he is overindulgent in his fondness for shooting craps and invests prettv nearly the full amount of his earnings daily in the dragnet game. At tirues, when "flush," he wi 1 strut with the pride of a nabob and in half an hour not have a penny to his name. He rarely goes hungry, for his credit is good, however bad his principles may be. A KINQ IN A TORTOISE SHELL. The Cradle at ran of tho Celebrated Henry of Navarre. The cradle that a queen should choose for her princely littlo baby must be a very grand affair, don't you think so? says Jack-in-the-Pulpitin the &. Xichola. Pe'rhaps made of choice or costly woods or even of a precious metal. In "either case it must, you think, bo most beautifully 6haped and perhaps carved with the figures of sweet little cherubs, watching over the favored mortal baby as he sleeps softly amid his clouds of lino linen and delicate lace. This may all be. What made me think of it was something that I heard a traveler tell about within a few days. This traveler had lately come from France. While in that country he had visited the town of Pau, among the Pyrenees mountains. In this town, high up, overlooking the valleys, stands an old, old castle, dark and gray and gloomy. It was built in the olden days when there was much fighting, and nobles and princes had to live in castles, with wails made so thick and strong to keep out their enemies that the blessed sunlight was k?pt out too, and the big rooms and halls were damp and dismal enough. Here in this castlo of Pau, in the year of 1553, said the traveler, lived the old king of Navarre, and here, in this same year, was born his grandson Henry, prince of Navarre, afterward known the world over as Henry the Great, king of France and Navarre. He was called great not only because he knew how to head the armies of his kingdom, fighting his enemies, but because he loved his people and tried to make I them happy and proepcrous, as well as glorious. So his people loved him, and after his death they cherished everything that had belonged to him with the greatest care. Here, in his castle of Pau, is still treasured the cradle in which tho royal baby was rocked to rest. It Is a cradle made all of tortoise-shell. Shouldn't you think it would break very easilv? It would if it "were thin and polished tortoise-shell, like a girl's dainty bracelet, which U almost as brittle as g ass, but there is little danger of this royal cradle meeting uch a fate no more danger than if the shell was still on the back of the turtle, Its first owner I The shell is pot polished or altered in any way. It was taken from the back of the big sea-turfs who bad carried it so long and thought himse.f so cafe in his stout hell house and was cleaned and turned over on Its back. Then only a little blanket was laid in it for the young prince of Navarre was not brought op delicately, and in his very cradle was taught to lie wrapped ud in a rough blanket instead of on soft cushions, amid luxurious linen and lace. The traveler did not tell the friend with whom ha was talkies whether or not the

Chiceo,IU, turtle-shell cradle was mounted on rockers. If not how cou'd the cradle have been rocked without giving the poor little baby a most terrible jouncinu? A little boy who was walking with the traveler and his friend said that he didn't think the little Prince Henry had half ho comfortable a timo of it as his own little baby brother at homo; and I shouldn't wonder if that were true. But, perhaps, after all, it in't good for babies to be quite so comfortable. It may be that more babies would grow up to bo strong and hardy men and women it they were not treated quito so tenderly at the first. A TWILIGHT STORY.
