business men o* One of oar W ester* cities, three^fourths of them are Christians, The fact is that about all the brain and the business genidt is on the tide at religion. Infidelity is incipient insanity: All ihfidela are cranks MAny Of them talk brightly, bat you soon find that in their mental Machinery there is a screw loose. When they are riot lecturing against Christianity they are sitiirig id bar rooms squirting tobacco juice, and when they gat mad swenr until the place is sulphurous. They only talk to keep their courage up, and at best Will feel like tbe infidel who begged to be buried with his Christian wife and daughter, arid when asked why he wanted such burial, replied! “If there be a nJsorreStion of the good, as some folks sty there Will be, my Christian wife and daughter Will Somehow get me up aud take me along with them.**

Jlen tufty pretend to despise religion, lint they are rank hopocrites. the sea captain war right » hau he came Tip to the ▼ill age on the sea coast and ins isted on paying ten dollars to*be church, although he did not attend Himself. When asked his reason* he said he had been in the habit of carrying cargoes of oysters and clams from that p’«c.\ and he found since that church w as built the people were more honest than they'used to be, for before the church was built be often found the load when he came tocouut ita thousand clams short. Tes, godisuess is profitable for both worlds. Most of the great, honest, permanent worldly successes* are by those who reverence (led and the Bible. But w hat I do say i; that if a man have nothing bat social position and financial resources, a woman wlio puts her happiness bv marriage in hit hand, ire-enacte' the-folly of Abigail when she accepted disagreeable Naim1, “whose possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great, and he bad three thousand sheep and one thousand goats.” If there be good moral character, accompanied by affluent circumstances, I congratulate you. Ii not, let the morning lark fly dear of th$ Rocky Mountain eagle. The sacrifice of woman on the altar of social and financial expectation | is cruel and stupendous. I sketch you a scape you have more than once witnessed: A comfortable home, with nothing more than ordinary surroundings, but an attractive daughter carefully and Christian ly reared. From the outside world comes in a man i with nothing bnt money—unless you count profanity, and selfishness, and fondness for champagne, and general recklessness as a part of bis posses,ion't He has his coat collar turned np when there is no chill in the air, but because it gives him 1 an air of abandon; and eye-glass, not becouse be is near-sighted, but because it gives a classical appearance; and with an attire somewhat lond, a cane thick enough to be the club of Hercules and clutched at the middle, his conversation interlarded with French phrases inaccurately pronounced, and a sweep of manner indicating that he was not bora like most folks, but terrestrially landed. By arts learned of the devil h > insinuates himself into the affections of the daughter of that Christian home. All the kindred congratulate her on the almost supernatural prospects. Reports come in that the young man la fast in his habits; that he has broken severat young hearts, and that he Is mean and selfish and erne). But all this is covered up with the fact Chat he has several houses in his own name, and lias large deposits at the bank, and, more than nit, has a father worth many hundred thousand dollars and very feeble in health, and may any day drop off, and | this is the only son, and a round dollar held close to one's eye is large enough to ! shut out a great desert, and how much more will several bushels of dollars shut out’ The marriage day comes and goes. The wedding ring was cost'y enough, and the orange blossoms fragrant enough, rod the benediction solemn enough, and the wedding march stirring enough. And the audience shed tears of sympathetic gladness, supposing that the craft: containing the two has sailed off on a placid lake, although Ood knows that they are launched on a dead sea, its waters brackish with tears, and ghastly with faces of despair floating to the surface and then going down. There they are, the newly married pair ia their new home. He turns out to be a tyrant. Her will is nothing, his will every thing. Lavish of money for his own, pleasure, be begrudges her the penuies ho pinches out: into her trembling palm. Instead of the ! kind words the left behind iin her former home, bow there are complaints, and fault-findings and curses. He is the master mad she the slave. The worst villain oa earth is the man who, haring cap* ured a woman bom her father'll house, and after the oath of the marriage altar has been pronounced, says, by his manner, if not in words: “I have- vim now in m;r power. What can yon do? Tip arm ie stronger than yours. My voice is louder than yours. My fortune is greater I than yours. My name is mightier than yours. Now crouch before use like a dog. Now crawl away from ms like a reptile. Ton are nothing but a woman, anyhow.

dr dot-ent society requires a good woman *o remain. Aias for these dudul country seats t They on a large scale illustrate what on a smaller scale may he seen in many places, that without moral character in a husband all the acoss sorter of wealth are to a Wife's soul tantalization and mockery. When Abigail finds Xabal. her bnsband, beastly drunk 63 she comes hoir:e frofn interceding for his fortune and life, it was no alleviation that the old hrule had possessions in Carmel, and “w«,s eery great, and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats," and he the worst goat among them. The animal in his nature seised the soul in Ub month and tan off with it. Before things are right in this world genteel villains are to be expurgated. In* stead of being welcomed into respectable society because of the amount of stars and. garters, and medals, and estates thev-^ represent, they ought to be fumigated two or three years before they are allowed without peril to themselves to put their hand on the door knob of a mornl house. The time must come when a n J sculiae astray will be as repugnant to good society as a feminine estrnv, and no <soat»6,t*arms or family emblazonry or epaulet can pass a Lothario unchallenged am*; the sanctities of home life. By what Jaw of God or common sense is an Absdom better than a Delilah, a Don . dan better than a Messalina? The brush I that paints the one black must paint the other black. But what a spdL taele it was whoa last summer luuci^Bn watering-place society went wild JPh enthusiasm over an unclean foreign -wignitary whose name in both hemispheres is a synonym for profligacy, and princesses of Amer can society from aT parts of the land had him ride in their carriages and sit at their table, though they know him to be a portable Useratto, a charnel house of moral putrefaction, his breath a typhoid, his foot that of a satyr, and his touch death. Here is an evil that men can not stop, but women may. Keep all s ueh out of your parlors, hare no recognition for them in the street, and no more think of allying your life and destiny with theirs than “gales from Araby” would consent to pass the honeymoon ‘with an Egyptian plague. All that money or social position a bad man brings to a woman in marriage is a

splendid despair, a gilded horror, » ornliant agony, a prolonged death, and the longer the marital union lasts the more evident will be the fact that she might better never have been born. Tet you and I have been at brilliant weddings where, before the feast was over, the bridegroom's tongue was thick and his eye glassy and his step a stagger, as he clicked glasses with jolly comrades, all going with lightning limited express train to the fatal crash over the embankment of it mined Ufa and a lost eternity. Woman, Join not your right hand with (inch a right hand. Accept from such an one no Jewel for linger or ear, lest that sparkle of precious stone turn ont to be the eye of a basilisk: and let not the ring come on the finger of your right hand, lest that ring turn out to be one link of a chain that shall bind you in never siding captivity. In the name of Ood and Heaven and home, in the name of all time and nil eternity, I forbid the banns! Consent not to join one of the many regiments of women who have married foe worldly success, without regard to moral character. If yon are ambitious, O woman, for noble affiancing, why not umrry a king? And to that honor you are invited by the monarch of Heaven aud earth. And this day a voice from the skies sounds forth: “As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride so shall thy God rajoico over then” Let him pat upon thee the ring of this royal marriage. Hens is an honor worth reaching after. By rcpee twuoa and faith you may come into a. marriage with the Emperor of universal dominion, and yon may be an empress unto God forever, aud reign with him in palaces that the centuries can not crumble or cannonades demolish. High worldly marriage is not necossary for women, or marriage of any kind, in order to yonr happiness. Celibacy has been honored by tbe beat; being that evm lived and his greatest apostle—Christ nnd Paul. Wbat higher honor could single life on earth have? Bui what you need, C woman, is to be affianced forever and forever, and the banns of that marriage 1 am at this moment hero and now ready to publish. Let the angels of Heaven bend from their galleries of light to witness while I pronounce you one—a loving God and a forgiven soul. One of the meet stirring passagein history with which f am acquainted tells ns how Cleopatra, the exiled Queen of Egypt, won the sympathy oi Julios Cesar, the conqueror, until he became tbe bridegroom and eha the bride. Driven from her throne, she sailed away on the Mediterranean sea la a storm, and when the large ship anchored she pat out with one womanly friend in a small boat until she arrived at Alexandria, where was Ctesar. the groat Genera1. Knowing that she would not bn permitted to land or pass the guards on the way to Cmsaris palace, she laid upon the bottom of the boat some shawls and scarfs and richly dyed aphotstery, and then lay down upon them, and liar friend wrapped her in them, and she was admitted ashore in this wrapping of goods, which was announced as a present for Cmsar. This bundle was permitted to pass the guards of the gates of the palace, and wa« pat; down at the feet of the Roman General. When the bundle was unrolled these rose before Cmsar one whose courage, and beauty, and brill iancy are tbe astonishment of tbe ages. This exiled Queen of Egypt told tbe story o! her sorrows, and he promised her that she should get back her throne in Egypt and take the throne of wifely dominion in bis own heart Afterward they made a triumphal tour in a barge that the pictures of many art gaUeries have called “Cleopatra’s Barge,” and that barge was covered with silken awning, and its deck was soft with luxuriant carpets, and tbe oars were silver tipped, end the prow was gold mounted, and the air whs redolent with the spiesry of tropical gardens and resonant with the annate that made the night glad as the day* - XVo may rejoice, O woman, that you are not a Cleopatra, and that the one to whom you may be affianced had none of the sins of Cesar, the conqueror. But it suggests to mt how you, a soul exited from happiness and peace, may find your way so the feet ol the conqueror of tbe earth and sky. Though it may bit a dark night of spirt tual agitation in whidi you put out into the harbor of peace, you may sail, and when ull the wrappings of fear and doubt and sin than be removed, you wiii be found att he foot of Him who will put you on a throne to be acknowledged se His is the day. When all the silver trumpets of the sty shall proclaim: “Behold the bridegroom cometh," and in a barge of light you sail with Him the river whose source is the foot of the thron e, and whose mouth is at the tea of glass mingled with fire.
