Here and there a tear he carelessly dashed off as thoi li it were from influenza or a cold in the [head. But #ome of you know liow a young man feels when set down in a city of strangers, thereafter to fight his own hnttles, and no one!near hy seeming to caro whether he live^ or dies, 't he center of a desert, a month’s journey to the first settlement, is not much more solitary. But that evening, ns the hour for closing has come, there are two or throe young men wlUKsidle up to Edward and asp him how ho likes the city, end Where he expects to go that night, and if ho would like them to show hint the sights! He thanks them, and says ho shall havo to take some evenings for unpacking and making arrangements, as ho had just arrived, hut says that oftor awhile he will be glad to accopt^beir company After spending two or three evenings in hih hoarding-house room, walking up and down, looking at the bare wall or up eld chrotuo hung there nt tlie time that relig. ous powspnpers hy such prizes advanced their!subscription lists, and after on hour toying with the match-box and' ever nml anon examining his watch to see if It is time I to retire—and it seems that t6n o’clock at n ight cr even nine o’clock will come—he resolves to accept the never friends at tho chaperoning of his new »tor< > following night they are all out to. . Although his salary is not large, Bite flush with pocket money, which 1 folks gave him after saving by,for some time. Ho can not; he mean, nml friends are doing all this for ; his We, and so he pays the hills. At the door ptplaces of enchantment his companion# can not find the change, and they accidentally fall hohind just as the ticket i* approached, or they say they nake it all right, and will themselves B next time. Edward, accustomed • life or village life, is dazed and ifed with the glitter of spectacular Rain and blunt iniquity Edward I hava immediately repulsed, but sin

Hull after a few nights being very late out, he say a: ? ‘•I tnust stop. My purse won’t stand this. My health won’t stand this. My reputa* tion won’t stand this.” j Indeed, one of the business tlrm tne night from his private box, in which he app ended a play, tn which atlitn sand phraseology occurred, which tak orTuttered in his own parlor w ould have caused him tp shoot or stab the actor on the Spot —from his high-prtrod box sees in a cheaper place the new clerk of his store, and l« led to ask questions a* to his hnl jits, nnd wonders how, on the salary the hopse pays him, he can do as he does. Edwprd, to recover his physical vigor and ihis finances, stopped awhile and spent a few more e venings examining the ehromo on the wall and counting the matches in the match-box, or goes down into the board-ing-lu use parlor t. hear the gossip about Ihe other hoarder i or a discourse on the insufficiency of the tat le ifare considering the ppico paid—the criticism severe In proportion as the fault-finder pays little or Is resolved to leave unceremoniously and phy nothing at all. “Cojufound It!” oriel the young man, “I can not stand this life any longer, and 1 must go out and see the world.” The same young men and others of a growing acquaintance ever ready to escort him. There is never arty lack of srteh guidance. If a man wants to go the whole round of sin, he caa find plenty to take him, a whole regiment who know the way. But after awhila Edward’s money Is all gone. He has received Iris salary again and again, hut it was spent before he got it, borrowing a itu» lw» end « mu, fDsri, chpit

he do now? Why, he hes Men In hie rounds of the gambling table* men who put down a dollar and took up ten, pat down a hundred and took up a-thousand. Why not he? To reconstruct his finances he lakes a hand and wins; is in a frenzy of delight and takes another h aul—and looses all. When b> first came to the city Edward was disposed to keep Sunday in Quietness, reading a little and going occasionally*to hear a sermon. Now Sunday is. a day ot carousal, lie is so full ot intoxicants by eleven o’clock in the day he stag gers into one ot the licensed rum holes of tho city. Same morning Edward, his breath stenchfut with mm, takes his police in the store. He is not fit to be there. He la listless, or silly, or impertinent, or in some way- incompetent, and a messenger comes to him and says; “Title firm desires to see you in their private office.” Tho gentlomau in the private office says; “Edward, we will not need you any more. We owo you a little money for services since we paid you last, and hero it is.” “Wbat is the matter?” says the young man. "I can not understand this. Have 1 done anything?” The reply is: “We do not wish any words with you. Our engagement with each other is ended.” “Out of employment?” What does that rieaiii to a good young man? It means opportunity to get-another and perhaps better place, It means opportunity lor mental improvement and preparation for higher work. “Out of employ men*.” What does that moan to a dissipated young man? It means n lightning express train on a down grade on the Grand Trunk to perdition. A1 Borak was winged horso, on which Mohammed pro'ended to have ridden by night from Mecca to Jerusalem and from Jerusalem to tho S9ventli heaven with such speed that each step was as tar as the eye could reach. A young man out of employment through his dissipations is seated on an Ai Borak, riding as fast in tho opposite direction. It is now only five years since E iward came to town. He used to write horn: nee a week at tho longest, Helms not itteu home for throo months, “What i>e the matter?” say the old people >fi I Hue Saturday moiling I he ' iU bn the best apparel of til s wardand goes to the city to find tut. Oh, he has not been hero for a long jlc,”jiay the gentlemen of the firm, ishr son, I am sorry to say', is on the rong track.” ► The old father goes hunting him from t place to place, an l came; suddenly upon him that night in a place of abandonment. he father savs: My son, come with me. Your mother Tins sent roe to bring you home. 1 hear you n'e out of money and good fc^hes, and you know as long as we live I^Rcnn have a home. Come right away,” rlie says, putting his hand on the young man’s shoulder. In an angry tone Edfaf)r<i replies: ^P'hike your hands off roc! You mind ■our own business! I will do as I please! Bake your bands olf roe or i will strike you down! You go your way and I will go mine!” That Saturday night, or rather Sunday jnoming—for it is by this time two o’clock In the rooming—the fattier goes to the city 'home of his son Nicholas, and rings the bell, and rings again and again, and it seems as if no answer wmld be given; I ut, after awhile, a window is hoitited and a voice c: ios: “Who’s there?” “It is me,” says the old roan. “Why, father, is that you?” In a minute the door is opened and the son says: “What in tho world brought you to the city at this hour of the night?” “Oh ! Edward has brought me here. 1 feared your mother would go stark crasy not hearing from him, and I find out that

ii »s worse who mm than 1 expectin’* “Yes,” said Nicholas, "I had: not the heart to write you anything ahoukit. 1 have tried my best with him ami all in vain. liut it is after two o’clock,” says Nicholas to his father, “and I will take vou to a bed.” On u con>f>rlablc couch in that house the old father lies down coaxing sleep for a few hours, but no sleep comes. Whose bouse is it? That of his son Niclohr-i. The fact is that Nicholas, soon after coming to the city, became indispensable to the commercial establishment whore he was placed. He knew what few persons know, that in all depart* meats of lusiuess, and mechanism and art there is a surplus of peopl > of ordinary application ami ordinary diligence; there is a groat scarcity, and always has Irobn a great scarcity,, of poople who excel. Plenty of people to do things poorly or tolerably well, but Very few clerks, or business men or mechanics who jean do splendidly well. Appreciating this, Nicholas ha*d resol ved to do so grandly that the business firm could not do without him. ^Always at his place a little after every body had gone. As oxtreiu dy polite to those who decline purchasing as to *hose who mado 1 rge purchases. He drank no wine, for ho saw it was the outpoisomment of multitudes, and when any ope asked him to taks something, he said “No” with the peculiar Intonation that meant no. His conversation wns always as pure as if his sisters had been listening. He went to no place of amusement, where he would be ashamed to die. He, never let or gambled, even at a churots fairl When he was at the hoarding-house, after ho had got all the artistic development he could pos&iblv receive from the chromo on the wall, he began to study that which would help him to promotion—study penmanship, study biographies of successful tneu; or wt nt foi th to places of innocent amusement, and to Young Men's Christian Associations, and was not ashamed to he found at a church prayer-meeting. He roso from position to position, and from one-salary to another salary. Only five years in town and yet lie has’ rented bis own house or a stllto of rooms

not very large, but a home large enough in Its happiness to be a typo of Heaven. In £he morning, us the old father, with handkorohiof in hand, comes crying down stairs to the table there nro ftftir persons, one fot. each side! the young man, and opposite to him the lest blessing that a God of Infinity goodness cau bestow, namely, a good wife, and on another side, the high chair filled with dimpled and rollicking gloe, that makes the grandfather opposite smilo outside while he has a broker heart within. Well, a* I said, It wa* Bahbath, and Ni holes and his fathor. knowing that .there is no place so appropriate for a trotsbled scul as the house of God, find their way tor* church. It is communion day, and wlint is the old man’s surpiiss to see his son jShss down tho aisle with one of the silver chalices, showing him to be a church official. The fnot was that Nicholas from the start in city life honored God, a ad God had honorod him. When the first vraveof city temptation struck him hi hail felt the need of divine guidance »nd divine piotecilon, and in prayer had sought a regenerated heart, and had obtained that mightiest of all armor, tyiat mightiest of all protection, that mightiest of all reinfo: cements, the multipotent and omipoteut grace of God, and you might ns well throw a thistle down against Gibraltar, expecting to destroy it, as with all the combined temptations of earth and bell try to overthrow a young man who can trutbfudy says “God is my refuge and strength.” Come, let us measure Nicholas (round the head. As many inches of brain ns any other Intelligent man. Let ui measure hlin around tho heart. It is so large teat it takes in all tbs earth and all the heavens, Measure him around the purse. He lias more resources than nine-tenths of those who on that Monday, September 20, oaino In on auy of the railroads Irons north, south, east and west. Hut (lift Bahbnth afternoon while in thf

b»ck room Nicholas and his father ara talking orer any attempt at the reclameUon of Edward, there is a ringing alt the door-hell and a man with the unitor id of a policeman stands there; and the man with some embarrassment, and some halting, and in a round-about way says that in a fight in some low haunt of the city Edward had been hurt. He says to Nicholas: “1 heard that he was some relation of yours,and thought you ought to know It." “Hurt* Is he badly hurt?" “Yes, very badly hurt?” “Is the wound mortal?" “Yes; it is mortal. To tell you the whole truth, sir," says the policeman, “although 1 can hardly bear to ttll you, he is dead." “Dead!” cried Nicholas; and ly this time the whole family are iu the hallway. The father says: “Just as I feared. It will kill bis mother when she hears of P. Oh, my son, imy son! AVeuid to God I had died for thee. Oh, my son, my sorit1’ “Wash off the wounds," says Nicholas, “and bring him licht here to my house, and let there be alt respect and gentleness shown him.” Oh, what obsequies! The next door neighbors hardly knew what was going bn; lut Nicholas and the father and o:o'her knew. Out of the Christian and beautiful home or the one brother is carried the dirs lute Irother. No word of blame uttered. No harsh things sai l. Ou a bank of cameiias is spelled out “Brother.” Had the prodigal been true a ml pure and noble in li e and bonorahls In life and - houoraU» in dentil he could not have been carried forth With mere tenderness or slept in a more beau iful casket, or been deposited in a more beautiful garden of the dead. Amid the loosened tnrf the brothers who left the country for city life five years before, now part forever. Tho tast sc no of the fifth act of an awful tragedy of human life is ended. What made the difference let ween these two young men? Religion. The one depemlod upon himself, the other depended in God. They started from the same home, had the same opportunities of education, arrived in tho city on the -same day, and if there was any difference, Edward had the advantage, fer he was brighter and quicker, and ail the neighbors prophesied greater success for him than for Nicholas. But behold and wonder at the tremendous secret. Voices come up out of this audience and say: “Did you know these trot hers?” ! “Yes; know them well.” “Did you know their paren's?’* “Yes; intimately.” Standing w ith yon at the forks of the road^sbmething makes me think that if to-day 1 set before the people the to; mini of the two roads they will all of them take the right one. Thor© are before me in this house and in the invisible audience back of this—for journalism has generously given me every week full opportunity to address the people in all the towns and cities of Christendom—1 say, in tho visiUe and invisible nu lienee there m o many who have not fully made up their minds which road to ta£e. “Come with us!” cry all the voices of righteousness, “Come with us!” cry all the voices of sin. Now, the trouble it that many make disgraceful surrender. As we ail kno w, there is honorable and dignified surrender, as when a small host yields to superior nnml>ers. It is no'humiliation for a thousand men to yield to ten thousand. It is belter than to keep on w hen there can he no result except that of massacre. But those who surrender to sin make a surrender when on thoir side they have enough reserve forces to rout all the armies of Perdition, whether le 1 on iby what a demonographer calls Belial, or Beeleebub, or Apollyon, or Abaddon, or Ariel. The disgraceful thing about the surrender at Sedan was, thoFrench handed over 419 fiold-guns and mitrailleuses, 6 090 horses an l 80,000 anus 1 men. And it is base for that man, Jo surrender to sin

when nil (he armaments of r.lmightiness wcttld have wheeled to the front to fight his battle if he had wared onenarnest signal. But no! He - surrendered body, mind, soul, reputation, home, pedigree, time and eternity, while yet all the prayers of his Christian ancestors wero on his Ride and all the proffered aid—supernal Cherubic, seraphic, angelic, delfic, • ••••••• Why this sermon? I hare made up my mind that our city life is destroying too many youug men. There comes In every September and October a largo influx of those 1 etweon sixteen and twent\-foue years of age, and Now York and lyn damn at least a thousand of them erery year. '1 hoy are shoveled on and down with no more compunction than that with which a coal-hearer scoops the anthracite into a dark cellar. What with the wine-cup Rnd the gambler’s dice, and the Scarlet enchantress no young man, without tlie grace of Cod, is safe ten minutes. There is much discussion about w hich is the Worst city of the continent. Home say New York, some say New Orleans, some say Chicago, souse say St. Louis. What t hare to say Is, you can not make mu-h Comparison between the infinites, and in ell our cities ttio temptation seems inilui o, W« keep a great many mills running day and night. No rica* mills or cotton-mills. Not mills of corn or wheat, but mills for griu diug up men. Such are all the grog-shops, licensed and unlieeus d. Such are ell the garni lug saloons. Such arc all the houses cf infamy. And wo do all the woik according to law, and wo turn out a new grist every hour, and gripcl up warm hearts and clear heads, ahd the earth about a < hler-n.i l is not more saturated with tho beverage than the ground about all these mind-destroy, ing institutions is saturated with Ilia blood of victims. We say to Long Island neighborhoods and villages: “Send us moro supply.” And to Westchester and Ulster and nil the other counties of New York; “Bond UR more men and women to put under the wheels.”

Givo us full chance and wo would grind up in the municipal mill five hundred a day. tVe have enough machinery; v,a have enough men who can run them. Give* us more homes to crush; give more parental hearts to pulverise I Put into the hopper nil tho wardrobes and the family Bil les, and the livelihood* of wives and children. Give us more nin< terial for these mighty mills, which nee wet with tears and sulphurous with woe, and trembling with the earthquakes of tin Incensed God, who will, unless our ciliha repent, cover us up as quick and as deep as in August of the year 79 Vesuviu* avalanched Herculaneum. O, man and woman, ponder the path ot thy feet! See which way you are going. 'Vill you have the destiny of Edward or Nicholas? On this sacramental day, when the burnished chalicea stand' In the presienco of the people, start from the foot of the cross for usefulness and Heaven. Plutarch tells us that after Cmsnr was slain and his tweuty-three wouuds had 1 eon displayed to tho people, arousing an un* controllable excitement, and the body of the dead conqueror, nocording to ancient customs, had been put upon tho funeral pile, and the flames arose, people rushed up, took from tho blniihg mass torches with which theijr ran through the city, crying the glory of the assassinated ruler, and the shame of his assassinators. On this sacramental day, whon the five bleeding wounds of Christ your King, are shown to you, nud th< fli es of his earthly sulTering binzo be* fore your imagination, each one of you take a torch and start heavenward—a torch with light for yourself and light for others; for the race that start; at tbs cross ends at the throne. While tha twenty-three wounds of Cmsar wrought nothing but the consternation of the people, from the five wounds of our Conqueror there flows a transforming power to maks a)l the uncounted millions who will gccepl It, fflffvtr happy and forevey ire*

A DEN OF SNAKES. The Somewhat Unpleasant Experiences ot a Sturdy Mocmtntneer. (Wolf Creek Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.] William Caldwell, a mountaineer, had a narrow escape from a horrible death on Bluff mountain last Saturday. He was turkey hunting, aud had climbed upon a ▼ery large rock near tbc top of the motin* tain. The rock was about fifty feet high and rery ragged on the sides, which en* abled him to climb on top with little difficulty. He had been there about ten minutes when, hearing a htsslng noise behind him, he looked around. A large rattlesnake lay in a coil no more than fire feet from him, and commenced to rattle as soon as he moved. Turning around h» took go d aim and fired, killing it. At the report of the gun an awful rattle began. The poise was frightful, and seerne 1 to be all aronnd him. Looking oyer the edge ot the rock he Saw a sight that made his blood rnn cold. The side of the rock was literally coyered with rattlesnake*, coming out of crevices in the rock by hundreds. He ren to the other side to get down before the snakes got on top, but one glance over the edge enused him to step back with a mean, for the side of the rock was one moving mass of rattlesnakes. Hisretrrat was cut off; to stay there was to die a most horrible death, But one thing was left, and that was to jump, and quickly, too, for the snakes were appearing on top. Clutching his rifle tightly, he jumped. The fall stunned him tor an instant. He attempted to rise, bnt could not; he was injured. On examination he found his left leg was brokon. After a day and night of the most horritde suffering he reached home, crawling on his hands and knees, having come over four miles in l;hts way. Assoou as his wanderful adventure was heard the neighbors began gathering around, and six young mountaineers at once started for th9 rock. They returned the tame evening. They say they went to about twenty yards of the rock and fired, when the rattling commenced aud the suakes in a few moments had covered the rock. The tioys began flriug, and succeeded in killing a great number. The snakes got on the ground and made for them, which caused them to boat a hasty retreat. A large body of mountaineers, headed by Captain John Miller, will go to the den hext Saturday and try to clean it out. There is an old Indian legend about a rock in these mountains called “Death Rock," aud said to be the den of thousands of rattlesnakes. This is supposed to be the rock. It has always been thought Strange that cattle would not grain near this spot, where-the grass grows so luxuriantly. A WAR STORY. How a Doctor Carried 4 Piece of Overcoat In Hts I.ungs for Many Years. (Washington (IX ©,) Special.] Dr. Robert St. George Dryanforth, ot ■\Vashiugton, relates a etirioUs experience M his own during the war of the rebellion, •nd, later, while acting as a eorrespondent in the Franco-German war. While serving in the first great struggle the doctor was shot through the lungs and invalided. He subsequently went to Europe tor ill health and remained there some years. When the German War broke out he became correspondent for the New York Tribune, and in one of the battles he s was shot through the base of the Skull, lie caught a heavy cold while lying wounded on the battlefield, and his wound in the lnngs troubled him so much that his life was despaired of and he was a vietim of rapid consumption. One day during a violent fit of coughing tho d ictor brought up a piece of his overcoat, which had been shot into his lungs ten years before. Tho ejection of tills cause of irritation so relieved him that he at once became better, and finally completely recovered. Hs returned to Washington and lias since held tho office of Judge of the Court of Appeals. He was also a member of the Board of Examiners and Assistant Commissioner of Patents. Dryanforth is now a prominent patent lawyer.

DR. JOHN BULLS Stiffs'Tonic Smv FOR THE OURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AN0 ALL MALARIAL DISEASES. The proprietor of this celebrated medicine lastly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer odto the public for the SATE, CEETAISi SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to hear him testimony to the truth of the assertion; that in no ease whatever will it fail to cure it the directions are strictly followed and carried out !« a groat many eases a single doae has been sufficient far a euro, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restorat on of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case mare oertain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Cstt-.Uy this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single doio of KENTS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient USE no other pill.
