Will answered saucily at time, at whieh he .scowled savKjfely at the boy in a way that made Sarah's heart beat quickly with fear.

Jmige Ijiwrence, of Ohio, is in a gloomy frame of mind because Sbepard. of Texas, has sold hk sheep. Shepard k tke person whom Lawrence brought to Washington when McKinky's committee was making the present tariff, and whose arguments concerning the duty on carpet wool were so entertaining to the minority members of the wumittee. The .political wool growers of Okie asked Sfcepanl some day ago whether he would attend a meeting of the National Wool Growers' association if one should W called. In reply, Shepard said: "I have sold my entire stock of skeep in anticipation of wool being put on the free list, which I am almost sure will be done." Sbepard appears to expect that the winners in the elections of November next will not be those who ngree wkk him about the wocd duties. II is km of oafkience is a hard blow to Lawrence.

Not one voter in ten knew how the general government gt its revenues, and not one in fifty eould distinguish between n revenue" ami a "protective' tariff. The ordinary newspaper printed bat little on the subject of taxation because most readers were unwilling to pay for suck "dry" matter. The Inwks on this subject were mainly ky professors, ware largely theoretical ami philosophical, and were read by Imt few except economte students. Tke, discussions begun in 18W, started thought on economic unestknM among thinking people. Dkensslon extendwl into all the large papers, to the lodge, the school lwrnse and even into the church and h;tae; the demaml for economic literature grew; the pep- , pie wanted to read and hear lwth sides: 1 protecthmists ami tariff reformers were l cstlel upon to give facts; press lmrcaUH were established to supply tariff matter to weekly country papers in all parte of the United States; speakers were sent out by Wth parties, not merely during; campaigns to assist the fireworks awl brass lands in entertaining the voters, but during the whole year nt school houses, town halls and county fairs. What a wonderful change wa wrought! Most intelligent men now know that our government k supported mainly by duties on imports: they hv gotten many ideas and have collected few hard facts; nearly every farmer and every Inltorers organiaatioa costtains men able and ready to debate the tariff qaeattont and potlthnans have had to post themselves or make room for those who hare studied the need of the neoole in thk direction.

In many tilings they were alike. ISotk were in captivity in their early years. Both bad great temptations and endured much wrong. Ami yet each of thaat stood loyally by the truth, and feared nothing in thk world so much as he feared sin. Joseph lost his place in I'otiphar's house rather than commit sis, and Daniel risked his life rather than do a wrong thing. Daniel declines defilement. The wrong in eating of the king's meat oonsisted in the recognition of Idolatry whieh thk involved. Now there warn many specious arguments that might have been adduced to make Daniel yield to tke custom of the times. Wa :n , . v. 1. "When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do." Thk specific proverb had, not been coined in Dankl's day, but no doubt the idea was already in existence. He might have said: "Well, customs differ in different countries, and what was possible in Judak is not possible ia llabylon. It is hard to get our usual food here, and we may as well yield to the pressure under which we are plaeed. 2. "God has forgotten and forsaken, us. Here we are in bondage. Since God has tints abandoned us, we not be particularly careful about Ilk laws." How easily the natural taau accepts such aa argument! a. "If we refuse we shall be killed." There was good reason to fear this." "Ami k it not one's duty to save one's life? Can truth be more valuable than life itself?" This, too. was a plausible argument, but Danfcl was one of those lterocs who counted not their lives dear unto themselves, but who counted truth, and godliness as far above say tiling that was merely temporal. Daniel is delivered from danger. lie risked all ami lost nothing. The test was successful, ami in the und he and hk companions were really better off in body than they would have been had be yielded. God iUms not always reward men both in time ami in eternity. There are times when in this life men have to endnre real hnnlships, and wait for their reward till eternity. Hut more frequently than we realize, temporal blessings arc the reward of lierok obedience,' as well as the eternal benediction. The trimmer and time-server very often overreaches himself, and cornea to grief. while the upright man goes aliead un der full sail. As a rule, godly men do prosper, and do live longer, and are truly happier in tlds world than the ungodly, Were it possible to divide any ten thousand men ia New York into two divisions, according to their true godliness, I believe that in the division of those who obeyed God there would be found a great many more of those who were prosperous than in the other division. The tramps In the city are miserable liecstise they have not obeyed whut they knew of the right. Our prisons are not filled with godly men, Imt with the unjrodly. And if, an k the case, now and then you find a church member behind the bars, it k not because he 1ms Imen a God-fearing man, but because he has gone In the face of tlie light that he had. Let everyone, then, 1 assured that, however hard it nay be for hint to obey tke command of God, in the long run that is the path of true happiness in thk world as well as in the world to come.
