TRUE FRIENDSHIP. BerSSS'Wftov. T. 18-WTU W mage, D. D. If Ton De-Ire You Must Show Yourself Friendly - Always Go Loaded Willi Kind Thoughts anti Wortlj. In a recent sermon Dr. -Talinage took for his subject:. “How to Make Friends,’’and , took for his text tin? first part of tlia twen-ty-fourth yerse.of tile eighteenth chapter of Proverbs: “4 man that has friends must show himself friendly.” He said: About the sacred and divine art of making- and keeping friends F speak -a subject on which I never heard of any one proach-ing-and yet God thought it of enough importance to put it in the middle of the Bible, these writings of Solomon, hounded on one side by the popular Psalms of David, and on the other by the writings of Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets. It seems all a matter of haphazard - how many friends we have, or whether we have any friends at all, but there is nothing accidental jibout it. There is a law which governs th<} accretion and dispersion of friendships. They do not “just happen so” an}' more than tire tides just happen to rise or fall, or the sun just happens to rise or Bet. It is a science, an art, a God-given regulation:' Tell ms how friendly you are toothers and 1 will tell you how friendly others are to you. Ido not say you will not have enemies; indeed the best way to get ardent friends is to have ardent enemies, if you get their enmity in doing the right thing. Good men and women will always have enemies, because their goodness is a perpetual rebuke to evil; but this antagonism of foes will make more lntefise the love of your adherents. Your friends will gather closer around you because of the attackk of your assailants. The more your enemies, abuse you tho better your coadjutors will think of you. The best friends we ever had appeared at some/ inneture wjiru we were especially bpmbarded. .There havqil been.times in my life unjust assault multiplied my tneutia, Tr-i ne— -a could calculate, about fifty a Hflnute. You are bouud to some people by many cords that neither time nor eternity can break, nd I will warrant that rnWy of these cords were twisted by hands malevolent. Human nature was shipwrecked about fifty-nine centuries ago, the captain of tpat craft, one Adam, and his first mate,, funning the cargo aground on a snag in the river Hlddokel; but there was at least ono good trait of human nature that waded safely ashore from the Shipwreck, and that is the disposition to tako. the part of those unfairly dealt with. When it is thoroughly demonstrated that some one is being persecuted, although at the start slanderous tongues were busy enough, defenders finally gather around as thick os honoy boes on a trellis of bruised honeysuckle. If, when set upoh by the furies, you can have grace enough to keep your mouth shut and preserve your equipoise and. let others light vour-battles you w ill find yourself after awbhe with a whole cordon of allies. Had not the-world given to Christ on his‘arrival at Palestine a very cold shoulder there would not have been one-luff as many angels chanting glory out of the hymn Ijooks of the sky bound in black lids of midnight Had it not been for the heavy and jagged and tortuous cross Christ .would not have been’ the admired and loved of more people than any being who ever touched foot on either the Eastern or Western hemisphere. Instead, therefore, ol giving up in despair because you have enemies the most helpful and enthusiastic admirers. In other words, there is no virulence, human or diabolic, that can hind *r my text -.from coming true: “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly. ” It Is my drnbi tion to project especially upon tho young a thought ,which it ny benignly shape their destiny for the here and the hereafter. Before you show yourself fl icndly you must be friendly. Ido not recommend a dramatized geniality. There is such a thing as pretending to be en rapport With others when we are tbeir dire destruetunts and talk against them and wish them calamity. Judas covered up bis tre.achci'y by a resounding kiss, and caresses may be demoniacal. Better " VTre Tfty iriuruprirni ccriici uspwri? inrue-TTOfltl-ed dog of hell, barking at uh, Hi ait the wolf in sheep's clothing, its brindled hide eovhowl cadenced into an innocent bleating. Disraeli writes of Lord Manfred, who, after committing many outrage.: upon the people, seemed suddenly to become friendly Slid invited them to a banquet. After most • of ' the courses of food had been served he blow a lioni, which was in those times a signal lor the servants and slay the guests. His pretended friendliness was a cruel fraud; and there are now people whose smile is a falsehood. Before you begin to show yourself friendly you must be friendly. Get your heart right with God and man gnd this grace will becomo easy. You may by your own resolution get your nature into, a semblance of this virtue, but tho grace of God can sublimely lift you into it BaUing tm lhe river Thames two vessels ran aground. The owners of one got one hundred horses and pulled bn the grounded ship and pulled it to pieces - The owners of the other grounded vessel waited till the tides came in and easily floated the ship out of alTtrouble. Ho, we .may pull and haul at our grounded human nature, and try to get It into better condition; but there is nothing like the oceanic-tides of God’s uplifting grace to holstjus.jnto-thlafciad-llness I ""ain ealogizi tig. lfdfrben under the flash of the Holy Ghost we see our own foibles and defects and depravities w-e will be very lenient and very easy - with others. We will look into their charuotersdor things commendatory and not damnatory. If you would rub you own eye a little lhoi* vigorously you would find a mote in it, the extraction of which would koep -you so

busy you would not have much time to shoulder your broadaxe and go forthto split up the beam In your neighbor's eye\ In a Christian spirit keep on exploring the, characters of those you meet and I am sure you will find something in them delightful and fit for a foundation of friendliness. You invite me to come to your country seat and spend a few days. Thank you! I arrive about noon of a beautiful summer day. What do you do? As soon as I arrive you* take me out under the shadow of the great elma You take me down to the artificial lake, the spotted trout floating in and out among the white pillars of the pond lilies. You take me to the stalls and kennels where yo,u Jfcep your fine* stock, and bej;e are the Durham cattle and the Gordon and the highsteeds 'by pawing and tieighinp, the only language they can speak, asking for "harness or saddle,and a short turn dowd the road. Then we go back to the house and you get me tii the right light and show me the Kensetts add the liierstadts on the wall and take me into the music-room and show nie the bird-cages, the caaaiies in the bay window answering the robins in the tree tops. Thank ybuj

I neverenjoyed, myself more in the same length of Vtiine. Now', why do we not)--do that way in regard to the nnff Show ’The'Tjloom andThe music and the bright fountains? No. We Say come along and let me show you that man’s character. Here is a greenscummed frog pond, and there’s a filthy cellar, and I guess Under that hedge there must he a black snake. Come ’and let us for an hour or two regale ourselves with the nuisances. Ob, my friends, better cover up the filuTS” 'Sifd eStol tho virtues, and 'this habit once established of universal friendliness will become as easy a3 "it is this mofihing for a syringa to flood the air with sweetness, as easy as it will he further 'on in the season for a quail to whistle up from th.e grass. When we hear something bad about somebody whom we always supposed to be good takeout your lead pencil andsay: ‘ Let me see'! Before I accept that, baleful story against that man's character 1 will take off.from it twenty-five per cent "for the habit of exaggeration which- belongs to the man who first told the story; then I will take off twenty-five per cent, for the additions which the spirit of g ssip in every community has put upon the original story ; then I will take off twenty-five per cent, from the fact that the man may have been put into dffcUihstanceS of overpowering temptation. So 1 have taken off seventy -five, per cent But I have not heard his side of the story at all, and for that reason I take off tho remaining twenty-five per cent.” Excuse me, sir, I don’t believe a Word of it! But here comes in a defective maxim .so often quoted: “Where there is so much smoko there m ist be some fire.” Look at all the smoke for years around Jenner, the introducer of vaccination; nnd the smoke around Martin Luther and Savonarola and Galileo and Paul and John and-Christ and tell me where was tho, fire? That is one of the satamc arts to make smoke witlioutrfire. Slander, like the world, may be made out of nothing. If the Christian, fair minded, c.ommon-sensieal spirit in regard to others predominated in the world we should have the mdleimiuin in. about six weeks, for would not -that be iamb and lion, flow apd leopard lyljig down together? Nothing but over nut us into such ' ~ ‘ Tri "' vjjiole.

{he ztdvtrrk ' j*: • a habit of mind and bo art as tffau -.W% teudency l in*the opposite direction. This is the way the world talks: I put niy uamo on tho back’of a man’s note am}, I had to j pay it, and I will never again pift my name | on the hack of any man’s note. I gave a beggar ten cents and five minutes after I saw him entering a liquor store to spend it I will never ugain givo a cent to a beggar. I helped that young man start in business, and lo! after a while lie came and opened a store almost next door to me and stolo my customers. I will never again help a young man start in business. I trusted in what m.v neighbor promised to do and ho broke bis word, \anil the psalmist was light before he leorrected hi nmol f, for “all men are liars.” \ So men become suspicious and saturine ambselfish, and ut every additional wrong douli them they put another layer on tho wall oKjheir exclusiveness and another bolt to the d'CQt that shuts them out from sympathy with* the world. They get cheated out of one thousand dollars, *or luisinterptyded, or disappointed, or betrayed,, and higher goes the wall and faster goes another bolt, not realizing that while they look others out they lock themselves in, and somo day they will w ake up,to find themselves imprisoneq. in a dastardly habit. No friend to others, others are no friend to them. There’s an island half w'ay between England, Scotland and Ireland called the Isle of Mail, and the seas dash against all sides of it, and I am told that there Is no more lovely place than the Isle iriirirarimwTfwirwh neggsMTßSffiur iiiTila disposition and outs himself off from the mainland §£ tho world’s sympathies ho Is despicableTand all around him is an Atlantic Ocoan of selfishness. Behold that Isle of Man! • Now, supposing that you have, by a | Divine regeneration, got right toward God \ and humanity, and you start dit to practice my text: “A man that hath frieikls ; must show liiiiU' elf friendly. ’’ I uii'ill this by all forms of appropriate salutation. Have Vou noticed that the head is so poised that the easiest tiling on earth is to give a nod if recognition. To swing the head from side to side, as when it is wagged in - derision, is . unnatural and uSVjTp' ASnli'in bi'il:.n.C., ~ > .lil' go; but to drop the chin in greeting is aeiiceoinpanlcd with -so little exertion that tiee it without the least semblance of fatigue! So also, the structure of the hand indicates handshaking; the knuckles not made so that the lingers, can turn out,. but, ; so'made that the lingers can turn in, as in clasping hands; and tho thumb divided from nml -set aloof from tho fingers bo that while the fingers take your all tho faculties of tho hand give, emphasis to the salutation, l ive sermons in every healthy hand urge us to liaiid-shakjiig. Besides this, every day when you Start out .load yourself up with kind thoughts, kind words, 'kind- expressions and kind greetings. When n man pr woman does well, tell him so, tell her so. If yoii meet some one who is iriiprpVed i’n health, and it is demonstrated in girth and color, say: “llow w f ell you look!” But, if on tho other hand, under the wear and tear of life lie' appears pale and exhausted, do not introduce sanitary subjects, or say anything at all about physical conditions. In the ease of improTOd® health you have by your words givpn another impulse toward the robust aaru the jocund; while in the case of the failing health you have arrested the decline by your silence, by Which he concludes:- “If I were really so badly off he would have said something about it.” We are all, •especially those of a nervous tern-

perament, susceptible to kind words und discouraging words. Form a conspiracy against ris, and let ten men meet us at certain points on our way over to business, and let each one say: l, How Bick you look,” though we should start out well, after meeting the first and hearing Ills depressing salute we would begin to examine our symptoms. After meeting the second gloomy accosting we would conclude we did not feel (fuitc as well

as usual- After meeting tho third our sensations wouldybe dreadful, and after meeting the fourth, unless we expected a conspiracy, we would go home and go to bed, and the other six pessimists would be a useless surplus of discouragementMy dear sir, my dear madiuue, what do you -mean by going about this world with dfSheartenments? Is not the supply of gloom andkrouble and misfortune enough to meet the- demand without your running a factory of pin's and 'spikes? Why should y.ou plant black .and blue in the world when God so seldom plants them?. Plenty of scarlet colors, ple'nty of yellow, plenty of green, plenty of. pink but very seldom a plant black- or blue. I never saw a. black flower and there’s only here and there a bluebell or a violet; but the blue is for the most part reserved for the sky and we have to look up to see that and when we look up no color can do us harm. Why not plant along the paths of others tho brightnesses Instead of the glooms? Db not prophesy misfortune.

If you must bo a rrophet at all be an Ezekiel and not a Jeremiah. In ancient 'times, pr pheta who tofAtoW, piL-lftto doing right, for they were divinely directed, hut the prophets of evil In our time are generally false prophets. Some Os our weather-wise people are prophesying we shall have a summer of unparalled scorch. It will not be that at all. I think we are going to have a summer of great harvest and universal health; at any rate I know as much about it as they do. Last fall all the weather, prophets agreed in saying we should have a w inter of extraordinary severity, blizzards on -;#hß heels of blizzard. It was tijo mildest winter I ever remember to have pissed. Indeed, the autumn and the spring almost shaved out of the, procession. Real troubles have no heralds v ] running ahead of their sombre chariots, and no one has any authority in our time to announce their coming. Load yourself up with helpful' words and- deeds.' 'The •hymn once sung in our churches is unfit to be sung, for it says: "> “We should suspect some danger near Where ri e possess delight." In other words, manage to keep’miserable all the time. The old song sung fit the pianos a quarter of a century ago was right:* “Kind words can never die.’-’ Such kind words have their nests in kind hearts, and when they are hatched out and take wing they cirele in flights that never cease, and sportsman's gun can not Bhoot them, and storms can not ruffle their wings, and when they cease flight in these lower of earth they sweep around rimld the higher altitudes of Heaven, At Baltimore a few days ago I talked into a phonograph. The cylinder containing the words was sent on to Washington, and the next day that cylinder, from another phonographic instrument, when turned, gave back to me the very words' I had uttered the day before, and with the same intonations. .Scold into a phonograph and it w ill scold back. Pour mild words into a phonogrriph and it will return the gentleness. Society and the w'orldand the church are phonographs. Give them acerbity und rough treatment and acerbity and rough treatment you will get back. Give them practical friendliness and they will give back practical friendliness. A father asked hiii little daughter; “Mary, why is it that every body loves your she answeredi' ll ’l diAtk(HH v . unless it is becuuse 1 love every- *• tW-if hath friends mrisLshow

botfyr .VwMm W: . sv&g£t *ro * litmself friendly.” We want'soiiiethfinr that spirit of sacrifice for others which was' seen in the English channel, where in the storm a boat containing' three men was.upset und all three were in the water struggling for their lives. A boat caiae to their relief and a rope was thrown to one of them and he refused to take it, saying: “Firstmfcg it to Tom; he is just ready to go down. I can last some time longer." A man like that, be he sailor or landsman, be' he in upper ranks of society or lower rapks, will always have plenty of friends. What is true manward is true God ward. We must be the friends of God if we want Him to be our friend. We can not treat Christ badly all our liven and expect Him to treat us lovingly. I Was reading of a sea fight in which Lord elson captured a French officer and whin the French officer offered Lord Nelsoh his, hand Nelson replied: "First give me your Isword and then give me your hand.” Sur■render of our to God must precede God’s proffer of pardon tons. Repentance before forgiveness. You must give up your rebellious isword before you can get a grasp of the Dbvine hand. Oh, what a gflorious state of things to have the friendship of God? Why, we couh| afford to hjve all the wdrld against us and all other worlds against us if we had God with usr' He could In a minute Wot out this Universe and in another minute make a better universe. I have no idea that God *ll things. The most brilliant ; ..thing known to us. is light and -for the creation of that He only used a word of command. As out of a Hint a frontiersman strikes a spark so out of one word God struck the noonday sun. For the making of the present universe 1 do not read that God lifted so much as a finger. The Bible frequently speaks of God s hand and God s arm and God’s shoulder and God’s foot; then suppose He should put hand and arm and shoulder and foot to utmost tension, what could He not make? That God, of such demonstrated and undemonstrated strength, you may have for your present and everlasting friend. Not a stntelv and ;eti.c.ent Hicnd. Imxd'fb get at, but as approachable as a country mansion on a summer day when all the doors .'Viid tlrlsTsußf:' ‘’Favunhe door. And Helsa wide door, a high door, a palace door, an always open door. My fotir-year old child got hurt and did not cry until hours after, when her mother came home, and then she burst into weeping, and some of tne domestics, not understanding human nature, said to her: “Why did you not cry before?” She was no one to cry to.” sympathy may bo absent, Divine sympathy is always accessible. Give God your love and get His lover your service and secure His help;, your Repentance and have His pardon. God a 'friend? Why, that means all your wounds medicated, all your sorrows soothed, and if .some sudden catastrophe should hurl you out of earth it would only hurl, you into Heaven How refreshing is human friendship, and true friends what priceless treasures! When sickness comes and trouble comes and death comes we send for our friends first of all, and their appearance in our doorway in any crisis is re-enforcement, and when they have entered we say: “Now it is all right!” Oh, what would we do without friends, family friends? But we want something mightier than human friendship in the —great exigencies. When Jonathan Edwards in bib final hour had given his last good-bye to all his earthly friends he turned on his pillow and closed his eye3 confidently saying: “Now, where is Jesus of Nazareth, my true and never-failing friend?” Yes, I admire human friendship as seen in the case of David and Jonathan, of Paul and Onesipherous, 61 Herder and Goethe, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, of Beauftiont and Fletcher, of Cowley and Harvey, of Erasmus and Thomas Moore, of Lessing and Mendelssohn, of Lady Churchill and Princess Anne, of Orestes and Pylades, each requesting that himself might take the point of the dagger

so the other might be spared, of Epaminondas and Peiopidas, who locked their shields in battle, determined to die together; but the grandest; the mightiest, the tenderest friendship in all the universe Is the friendship between Jesus Christ and u living souL Yet after all I have said I feel I have only done what James Marshall, the miher, did in 18t8 in California, before its gold mines were known. He reached in and put upon the table of his employer-. Captain Sutton, a thimbleful of gold dust “Where dia you get that?” said his employer. The reply was: “I got it thi# morning from a mill-race from which the water had been drawn off.” But that gold dust whjoh could have been taken up between the linger and the thumb was Die prophecy and spfe.eiffieh that revealed California’s wealth to all nations. And to-day I have only put Before you a specimen of the value of Divine friendshiponly a thimble full of pines inexhaustible, arid infinite, though a*l time and all eternity go on with the exploration.

June 27. — General Simon Cameron died at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening f ' The General # condition during tho day Was ra£her encouraging, and death came suddenly during a weak spell. Up to the last attack, he was conscious, and had no trouble to swallow the food given him and which he appeared to assimilate. ] Around the deathbed were ex-Attornoy-General Maweagh and wife, Mrs. jfkldeman, James Ciynriron, Simon B. Camjjfrofi" and wife Tmd • Mrs. Daiid Y\ atts, a granddaughter. £f " vi' : SIMON CAMERON. [Simon Cameron was horn in 'Lancaster County, Pa., March 8, 1799. He was left an orphan at an early age, but received a fair English education, and began to learn the printer's trade at the age of 9. He worked as a journeyman In Lancaster, Harrisburg and Washington, and so improved his opportunities that in 4830 he was editing a newspaper in Deylostown, Pu., and In 1889 ono in Harrisburg. As soon as he hod accumulated sufficient capital he became Interested In banking and railroad construction "in the central part of the State. He was for a time Adjutant-General of Pennsylvania. He was ducted to tho United States Senate in 1815, the term ending W 1819.

As ita candidate he was reelected to the Senate for the full term of six years, beginning in 1857, a period which covered the exciting crisis of secession. During this time he was so earnest an advocate of peace that his loyalty was suspected. At the Republican convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln Mr. Cameron was strongly supported for the Presidency, and again for the Vice-Presidency, but lack of harmony in the Pennsylvania delegation prevented hs nomination to the, latter, office. Mr. Lincoln at once called him to the Cabinet as Secretary of War. He advocated more aggressive war measures than Mr. Lincoln was urepured to carry out, and when General Butler asked for instructions regarding fugitive slaves directed him' to employ them “under such organizations and in such occupa; tions as exigencies may suggest of require.” Simitar instructions were given to General Sherman and other officer's in the field. In his original draft of his annual report to Corigress in December, 1801, he boldly- advocated arming the fugitive slaves, but this was modified upon consultation with the other members of the Cabinet. Mr. Cameron resigned the Secretaryship January 11, 1862. He was appointed Minister to Russia, and his influence there undoubtedly tended to ’ secure in a large measure the friendship of that nation dur.ng the civil war. His official conduct in a certain transaction was censured by the House of Representatives April 30, 1862* but Mr. Lincoln immediately sent a message placing with the beads of oth6f departments an'equal share in -the responsibility. ’Mr., Cameron resigned as Minister to Russia November 8, 1863, and remained at home until JSG6, wljen he was elected United States'Sonator, and appointed chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs on the retirement of Mr. Sumner in 1872. He was sent to tho Senate for the fourth time in 1873, but resigned in favor of his son, J. Donald Cameron, the present senior Senator from Pennsylvania. During the years or Mr. Cameron's active pollb ftal life he was a powerful leader, practically dictating the policy of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, and wielding a strong influence over its policy in the Nation at large. “Lochiel,” his residence at Harrisburg,,is a large, old-fashioned, but delightful place, and has welcomed within its hospitable walls at one time and another the leadihg men of the Sriite^ MANY* KILLED.

It is almost certain that tweirtgstive or thirty people - were killed and many others were hurt. A car-load 'of lime in the center of the train was the last to go down, and it was scattered over the pile of shattered oars, Then the debris took fire. The work of clearing tho debris was continued all day and abandoned at 9 a.m. until to-day. Ten dead bodies have been recovered.

July 1.-Tho Herald in a twocolumn article calls attention to the tact that Dr. John Mclnerny, ono of the lour men who are alleged to have beefo doomed to death by the inner circle of the GTan-na-Gafel js missing still, and intimates that he was killed before Cronin was. before, ho’ last seen, in tho middle of April, he Received at the Catholic protectory a telegram frpm Omaha offering him a good position if he wopjdcouw there Immediately to take it. It is assumed that he started for Omaha iu time to have arrived in Chicago en routo on April 21, His friends in New York have written to Omaha to inquire about the telegram and the alleged ‘position awaiting him, and' have received replies that jiflp’ diligent inquiry no one could bo found wm was interested in Mclnerny s going to Omaha, nor had he been seen there. John Devoy, who was Alcliieniy’s associate in the Irish Nation? believes Mclnerny was lured, to his death by, the telegram. All y agree that there is just as good ground for believing that Mclnerny was assassinated as for the assef&ou that Cronin was slain by tho iunor circle or the Clan-na-Gael, \vhich had doomed Cronin, Mclnerny, Devoy and Dr. McCahey, of Philadelphia, to death. Thero is evidence to show that traps were laid for McCahey, just like those that at first failed with Cronin, and Devoy has been openly threatened, and men have watched his movements, not knowing that their own movements were also watched. - Mclnerny was the most secret and most trusted agent of the Irish revolutionary organizations on both sides' of the Atlantic. Mclnerny was the go-between for she triniiglH composed’ of Alexander Sullivan, Michael Boland and D. C.

Here there is a sufficient,cause for be- j lieying that Mclnerny has been murdered. Mclnerny; declaring himself hostile to the inner circle leaders, with such knowledge in his possession was an exceedingly dangerous man to that faction. Since Mclnerny disappeared from the city on April 0 a letter has awaited him at his address here in which a young married woTfihn seems to hint at an intrigue With the missing man. His friends hero believe that he was murdered the Carlson cottage before Cronin, and that the arrangements made for the disposal of the latter’s body, hut interrupted, were carried out in Mclnerny’s case. i COERcTonTn IRELAND.

Found Not Guilty at Charleston. Charleston, S. C., July I.—The jury in being in their room two hours, returned a Verdict of not guilty. The trial of Dr. T. It.' v McDow has lasted just six days, of which three and a half days were occupied in the taking of testimony and two and a half days were taken up by argument. The verdict was not a surprise, although it excited universal indignation. The jury-box was packed' 'with negroes, and the white men On the jury are known to have had no friendly feelings for the murdered editor. The court-room was as still as death while the words of the verdict were being read. McDow heard the verdict with a faint smile and remained as motionless as a statue. Upon the instant a yell arose that reminded old soldiers of yells heard during critical periods in front of Petersburg. It was more of an exultant yell than one of joy. The negroes yelled in unison with Dr. McDow’s friends The judge administered a stern rebuke and discharged the jury. , THREE PEOPLE KILLED.
