TO uited lands, ns the t^Bff^^P^PKu-isten-pproaching Armageddon the text, sounded before the ark ried to Mount J5ion: so; Hit his enemies bo »«at- .— our finite mind canjutge.it is about time lior God to rise. Does it not seem to you that the abominations ot this earth have gone far enough? Was there ever a time when sin was so defiant? Were there ever before soraany fists lifted toward God, telling hint to come, on if be dare? Look at the blasphemy abroad! What towering! profanity! Would it be possible for any one to calculate the number of times that the name of Almighty God, and of Jesus Christ, are every day taken irreverently on the lips? So common has blasphemy become that the public mind, and public oar, have got used to it, and a blasphemer goes up and down this country in his lectures defying the plain law against blasphemy, and there is not a mayor in America that has backbone enough to interfere with him save one, and that the mayor of Toronto. Profane swearing is as much forbidden by the law as theft, or arson, or murder; yet who executes it! Profanity is worse than theft, or arson, or murder, for these crimes are attack;! on humanity—that is an attack on God. This country Is pre-eminent for blasphemy. A man traveling in Russia was supposed to be a clergyman. “Why do you take me to b» a clergyman?” said the niiiu. “Oh,” said the Russian, “all other Americans swear.” The crime is multiplying in intensity. God very often shows what He thinks of it, but for the most part the fatality is hushed up. A few summers ago among Ihe Adirondacks 1 met the funeral procession of a man who, two days before, had fallen under a Hash of lightning while boasting, after a Sunday of work in the fields, that he bad cheated God out of one day anyhow; and! the man who worked with him on the same Sabbath is still living, but a helpless invalid under the same Hash. On the road from Margate to Ramsgate, England, you may find a rough monument with the inscription: A boy was struck dead here while jin the act of swearing. Years ago in a Pittsburgh prison two men were talking about the Bible and Christianity, and one of them, Thompson by name, applied to Jesus Christa very low and villainous epithet, and as he waq ftt/f ffi1 HdtpVofeU- .A ghysician was called, day with distendied pupils and palsied tongue, he passed out of this world. In a cemetery in Sullivan County, inthisState, tire eight headstones in a line and all alike, and there are the facts! In 18il diphtheria raged in the village, and a physician was remarkably successful in curing the patients. Si confident did he liecome that he boasted that no case ol diphtheria could stand before him, and finally defied Almighty God to produce a rase of diphtheria that he could not cure . His youngest child soon after took the disease and died, and one child after another, until all the eight had died o( diphtheria. The blasphemer challenged Almghty God, and God accepted the chal

But 1 come later down and give yon a fact that is proved by scores of witnesses. 1'bis last August of 1886, a man got provoked at the continued drought and the ruin of bis crops, an 1 in the presence of bis neighbors he curse! God, saying that ae would cut hie heart out If he would raaue, calling him a liar and a coward, and | a Ipnave. And wt Me he was speaking his «»whrvlaw dropped, iampke issued from Mouth and nostrils, and the heat of hit body Was so intense it drove track tbos* who would come near. Scores of people | visited the scene and sax' the blasphemer in the awful (wooes? of expiring. | not think that because God has beet silent la your oitso, O, profane swearer that he is dead, its there nothing now is the peculiar feelfng of your tongue, dr nothing in the numbness of your brain thal indicates that God may come to avenge your blasphemies or is already avenglag them? But these eases I have noticed, I belter.', are only « few eases where there are hundreds. Families keen them still to avoid the horrible oouspiouity. FhyslHMMHMHI

confidence. It is a very, veiy, vary long l oll that contain* the name* of those who 'ljed with blasphemies on their lips; and the crime rolls on, up through parlor*, up through chandeliers wild* lights all iiblase, and through the piotured corridor* of club rooms, eto., out through busy ex* changes where oath meets oath, and down (through all the haunts of sin, mingling with the rattling dice and cracking bill* ilard balls, and the laughter of her who has forgotten the ooveuant of her God; and round the city, and round the earth a seething, boiling surge flings its hot spray into the face of a long-suffering God. And the ship captain damns his crew, and the merchant damns hie clerks, and the master builder damns his men, and the hack driver damns bis horses; and the traveler damns the stono that bruises his foot, or the mud that soils his shoesi or the defective time-piece that gets him too late to the railroad train.' 1 arrange jprofane swearing and blasphemy, two names for the same thing, as; being one of the gigantic crimes of this land, and for its extirpation it does seem as if it wer* about time for God to arise. Then look a moment at the evil of drunkenness. Whether you live in Brooklyn, or New York, or Chicago, or Cincinnati, or Savannah, or Boston, or in any of the cities of the land, count up the saloons on that street as compared with the saloons five years ago, and see they arc growing far out of proportion. You people who are so precise aud particular lest there should be some linprudenoe or rashness in attacking the rum traffic, will have your son some night pitched into your front door dead drunk, or your daughter will come home with her children because her husband has by strong drink been turned into a demoniac. The rum Send has despoiled whole streets of good homes in our cities. Fathers, brothers, sons, on the funeral pyre of strong drink 1 Fasten tighter the victims I Stir up the flames! File on the corpses 1 More men, women and children for the sacrifice I Let us have whole generations on the fire of evil habit; and at the sound of the oornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and dulcimer let ail the people fall down and worship King Alcohol, or you shall be oast into the fiery furnace under some political platform 1

I indict this evil as the fratriolde, the “ », the matricide, the tixoroide, the of the century. Yet under what t and delusive and mirthful names m deceiver the people. It is a It is “bitters.” Jit is an “eye* It is an “appetiser.” It is a It is an “iuvigorator.” It Is * It is a “night- cap.” Why |T put ou the right labels—“Eserdition,” “Conscience Stupe* e Drachms of Heartache,” ’Orphanage,” “Blood of Souls,” of an Eternal Leprosy,” “Venom of That Never Dies.” Only once in Is there any thing i;n the title of o even hint their atrocity, as in se of sour mash. That I see adver* all over. ' It is an honest nanie and one ran understand it. Sour mash! is, it makes a man’s disposition sour, associations sour, and his pros* 'sour: and then it is eood to mash hit 1 mash his soul, and mash his and mash his family. Sour One honest name at last for an init! But through lying labels -of of the apothecaries’ shops good who are only a little undertone in and wanting of some invigoration, inwittingly got on their tongue the f this cobra that stings to death so a ratio of the human race. Others are ruined by the common and all-destructive habit of treating custom* ers. And it is a treat on their coming to towu, and a treat while the bargaining progresses, and a treat when the pur* chase is made, and a treat as he leaves town. Others, to drown their troubles, submerge themselves with this worse trouble. Oh, the world is battered, and bruised, and blasted with this growing evil! It is more and more entranced and fortified. They have millions of dollars subscribed to marshal and advance tbe aleoholic forces. They nominate, and elect, and govern the vast raaj ority of the office-holders of this country. On their side they have enlisted the mightiest political power of the centuries. And behind them stand all the myrmidons of the nether world, Satanic, and Apollyonic, and diabolic. It is beyond all human effort to throw this tmstile of decanters or capture this Gibralter of runj jugs. And while I approve of all human agencies of reform, I would utterly despair if we had nothiug else. But what cheers me is that our best troops are yet to oxcis. Our ohief artillery is in reserve. Our g reatest Commander has not yet futiy tai:eiv the Bold. If all hell is on their side, all Heaven is on our side. Now Let God arise, and let His enemies be seal tereiL Then loox at the impurities of thes , great cities. Ever and anon there are in the newspapers explosions of social life that make the story of Soc.om quite respectable; for such things, Christ says, were more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for the Chorazt as and Bethsaidas of greater light It is no uunsuai thing in our cities to see meti in high position with two or three famil ies, or refined ladies willing.solemnly to marry the very swine of society if they be wealthy. Brooklyn, whose streets fifteen years ago were almost free from all sign of the social evil, now night by night rivals upDei Broadway in its flamboyant wiokedness. The Bible all aflame with denunciation against an impure life, but many of the American ministry uttering not one pointblank word against this iniquity, lest some old libertine throw up his church-pew. Machinery organized in all the cities ol the United States and Canada by which to put yearly in the grinding mill of this iniquity thousands of the unsuspecting of the country farm-houses, one procuress confessing last week in tbe courts that she had supplied the Infernal market with 181 souls in six months. Oh, for five hundred Pall Mill Gazettes in Am erica to swing open tbe door of this lazar-bouse of social corruption. Exposure must come before extirpation. While the city van carries the scam *, ** * * *“ gNP morning by morning, it is f all time, if do not want high American life to becc like that of Louis XV., to put millions Lotharios and Po mpadonrs of your bro stone palaces into a van of popular ind nation, and drive them out of respects associations.

Matches are made in Heaven, th ey say. Not such matches, for the brimstone indicates the opposite region. The evil is overshadowing all oar cities, By some these immoralities are called peccadilloes, gallantries, eccentricities, and are relegated to the realms of jooolarity, and few efforts are being made against it. God bless the “White Cross” movement, as it Is called, the excellent and talented Miss Franses Willard, its ablest advocate on this tide the sen, an organisation maktng a mighty assault on this evil 1 God forwardT the tracts oil this subject distributed by the religions tract societies of the land 1 God help parents in the great work they are doing In trying to start their children with pare princlplee!

In tt not time for *U lands to cry ont: »nd let 111* enemies tie scat. 1 got a letter a few days ago asking me If I did not think that the earthquake in Charleston was the divine chastisement of that city for its sins. That letter 1 answer now by saying that it all our American cities got all the punishment they deserve for their horrible Impurities, the earth would long ago have cracked open into crevices transcontinental, and taken down all our oities; and Brooklyn and New York would have gone so far under that the tip of our church spires would be five hundred feet below the surface. It is of the Lord's mercies that yre have not been consumed. * Not only are the affairs of this world sd s*twist, a-Jnn?le and racked, theit there seems a need of the divine appearance, nut there is another reason.

About two thousand more years passed along and God turned anoth* er leaf, and It was the deluge, About two thousand more years pass* •d on and it was the appearance of Christ. Almost two thousand more years have passed by, and he will probably soon turn another leaf. IVhat it shall be I can not/say.

Re is from his throne watching the mustering of ali the forces of blasphemy end drunkenness and impurity and fraud and Sabbath‘breaking, and when they hate done their worst and are most securely organised, he will bestir himself and say: “My enemies bare defied me long enough, and their cup of iniquity is full. I have given them all opportunity for re* pentance. This dispensation of patitmco is ended, and the faith of the good shall be tried no longer.” And now God begins to rise, atid what mountains give way under his right foot and what continents sink under his left foot I know not; but standing in the full height and radiance and grandeu r of his nature, he looks this way and that, and how bis enemies are scattered! Bias* phemers, white and dumb, reel down to their doom; and those who have trafficked in that which destroys the bodies and muls of men and families will fly with cut foot on the down grade of broken decant* •>rs; and the polluters of society, that did their bad work with large fortunes and high social sphere, will overtake in heir descent the degraded rabble of underground city life as they tumble overthe eternal precipices; and the world shall be left clear and clean for the friends of humanity and the worship* ers of Almighty God. The last thorn plucked off, the world will be left n bloom* ing rose on the bosom of that Christ who came to gardenize it. This earth that stood snarling with its tigerish passion, thrusting out its raging claws, shall lie down a lamb at the feet of the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world. And now the best thing I can wish for you, and the best thing 1 oan wish for my* self, is that we may be found his warm and undisguised and enthusiastic friends in that hour when God shall rise and his enemies shall be scattered. SAVED BY HIS TOES. Unpleasant Experiences of a Florida Mert chant on a Trip North. , fTampa (Fla.) Times.] Captain John W. Harlee, of Manatee, had a peculiar experience on his recent trip North. He had gone to Little Rock, N. C,, to visit his young sons, who are at school there. By way of giving the boys a treat he took them on an excursion trip to Wilmington, N. C., and thence to Smithville and back. The first night they were in Wilmington, as Captain. Harlee was walking with a friend named McRae, a well-known citizen there, they were accosted by a detective and Captain Harlee was at once accused of being Sam B. Roberts, a telegraph operator and manager of the Pacific Mutual Telegraph Company at Kansas City, who ft a fugitive from justice, accused of embezzlement, and for whose capture a reward of $380 is offered by the American Surety Company of New York. The “fly cop” took Captain Harlee by the arm and under a bright gaslight confronted him with the reward circular, where there was a portrait of the absconding man, which resembled Captain Harlee as much as an alligator resembles a mocking-bird. But the description, though describing Roberts as being five feet seven inches high, while Captain Harlee is a six-footer, also described him as having a right stiff leg, in whloh the resemblance could not be denied. This satisfied the detective, who led his captive to a police officer. The latter appears to have been r.n in telligent man, and at once released Captain Harlee. Afterward Mr. McRae went before the mayor of W ilmington and made affidavit as to Captain Harlee's identity and his personal knowledge of his good standing in social and commercial circles. This was supposed to be the end of the matter, bnt events proved to the contrary. Next day, just after landing from the steamer from Smithville, Captain Harlee was arrested again. He protested against the indignity; called attention to the above-mentioned affidavit; vowed that he knew nothing of Roberts or telegraphy; assured the officer that he was noembesthe mayor, E. D. Hall, and there compelled to strip. In the descriptions of Roberts, the embezzler, it was mentioned that the latter had lost the toes of the right foot. Captain Harles showed up ten as handsome to9$ as are usually worn by man. The mayor put on his

spectacles ana counted me toes carefully, calling in an officer to keep tally as lie eonnted. Again and again were the toes, counted, bnt in spite of all that could be done they would persist in footing up ten, and at length, after much Taxation and long questioning, the Wilmington Dogberry gave up the case with a sigh and ordered the final release of Captain Uarlee, who came near missing his train and losing his limited ticket. This is probably the first case on record where a man has been saved by his toes. The next step will probably be to make some one smart for their stupidity. An action for damages for false imprisonment will most likely be the result, and the Captain’s toes ought to bo awarded one thousand dollars apiece for the good work they have don*. —While blasting was in progress at McAfee, on the line of the Lehigh & Hudson River railroad, near Newburg, N. Y., a seam in the rocks was opened, disclosing the lair of some wild animal, wherein human and animal bones were discovered, some of them petrified. It had possibly been the den of a hear. Dr. W. B. Brinder, of Warwick, vouches for some of the bones being human. There are pieces of vertebra; of an animal toggor than an ox—probably a masto don. The sceno of the discovery is a - limestone quarry, and, there lseing no opening from the side blasted, i t is sup. posed mat entrance to the den was made from the othqt tide qf fte olift—J'reg Timm.
