That is one way, aud some of rou have

tried it. But there ts another way*. Ttmt young merchant who found that he hod miscalculated in laying in too many goods of one kind, and been flung of the unusual season, is standing behind the counter, feeling Very him and biting his fingerualls, or lookiug over his account bocks, Which read darker and worse every time he looks at them, and thinks how his young wife will have to put up in a plainer house than she ever expected to live in, or go to a third-rate hoardinghouse, where they have tough liver find sour bread five mornings otit Of the seven. An old merchant comes in and says; “Well, Joe, this has been a hard season tor young merchants, end this prolonged cool weather has put many In tb« doldrums, and I have been thinking of you a good deal of late, for Just after X started in business 1 once got- Into the same scrape.

Good morning.” The old merchant goes away and the yonng man goes behind his desk nnd the tears roll down his cheeks. It is (ho first time he has cried. Disaster made him mad at every thing, and mad at man and mad nt God. But this kindness melts him, and the tears seem to relieve his brain, and bis spirits rise from ten below aero to eighty in the shade, and he comes ant of the crisis. And about three years after this young merchant goes into the old merchant’s store aud says; “Wall, iny old friend 1 was this morning thinking over what you did for me three years ago. You helped me out of an awful crisis in my commercial history. I learned wisdom, and prosperity has come, and the pallor has gone out of my wife’s cheeks, and the roses that were there wheu I courted her iu father’s houso have bloomed agaity'nn-l my business Is splendid, and I thought I ought to let you know that you saved a man I” In n short time after, the old merchant who had been a good while shady in h is limbs and had poor spells, Is called to leave the world, anl one morning after he had read the twenty-third Psalm about “The Lord- is my shepherd,” he closes his eyes on this world, and an angel who had been for many years appointed to watch the old man’s dwelling cries upward the news that the jpatriarch’s spirit Is about ascending. I And tho twelve angels who keop the twelve gates of Heaven unite In crying down to this approachiug spirit of the old man: “Come in at any of the twelve gates J'ou choose! Come in nnd welcome, for it has been told all over these celestial neighborhoods that you saved a man.” I have heard men tell in public discourse what a maa Is. but what is a woman? Until some one shall give a better definition 1 will tell you what a woman is. Direct from Goihja sacred and dedicate gift, with affections so great that no measuring line short of that of the Infinite God can tsll their bound; fashioned to refiuo and soothe and lift anil irradiate home and society and the world. Of such vahie that no one can appreciate it, nnless his mother lives long enough to let him understand it, or who in some great crisis of life when all else failed higi, hail a wife to reinforce him with a faith in God that nothing could disturb. Speak out, ye crallos, aud tell of the feet that rocked you and the anxious faces that hovered over you! 4peak out, ye nurseries of all Christendom, aud ye homes, whether desolate or still la full bloom with the faces of wife, mother anl daughter, and help me to d efine what woman is. If a man during all his life accomplished nothing else except to win the love and confidence and help and companionship of a good woman, he is a garlanded victor, and ought to have the bauds of all people between here and the grave stretched out to him in coagratula

non. But, ns geographers tell us that the deptus of the sea correspond with the heights of the mountains, I hare to tell yon that good womanhood isanot higher up than bad womanhood is deep down. The grander the palace the more awful the conflagration that destroys it Tue grander the steamer Oregon the more terrible her going down just off the coast Now, I should not wonderif yon trembled a little with a sense of responsibility when I say that there is hardly a person in this house but may htfre au opportunity to sure a woman. It may in yotir case be done by good advice, or by fin ancial help, or by trying the bring to bear some one of a thousand Christian influences. Yon would’not have to go far. It. tor instance, you know among your acquaintances a young woman who is apt to appear on the streets about the hour when gentlemen return from business, and yon find her responding to the smile of entire strangers—hogs that lift their hats—go to her and plainly tell her that neiurly all the destroyed womanhood of the world began the downward path with that very kind of behavior. Or if. for instance, you find a wo mail In financial distress and breaking down in health and spirits trying to support her children now that her husband is dead or an invalid, doing that very tuipor'.unt and honorable work, bnt which U little appreciated. IWoping a boarding-house,, where all the guests, according as they pav small board, or purpose, without paying any board at all, to decamp, are critical of every thing and hard to please, bnsy yourselves in trying to get her more patrons and tell her o.’ Divine sympathy. Yet, if you see a woman favored of fortune and with all kindly surroundings finding in the hollow flatteries of the world her chief regalement, living for herself and for time as if there were no eternity, strive to bring her into the kingdom of God, as did the other day t» Babbath-school teacher who was the means of the conversion of the daughter of n man of immense wealth, and th» daughter resolved to join the church, nn<l •iw W9&( iwaw Md mWi ‘Tttiuf.

Kepent! Stand up, thou masterpiece of sin and death., that 1 may charge you! As far ait possible make reparation. Do not boast that fod hate her in your power and that she can not help herself. When that fine collar and cravat and that elegant suit of'clothes come off, and yotlr uncovered soul stands In judgment aud before Hod, you will be better off if yon save that Woman, There is another eSpiibli that yon can do, add that Is to save » child. A child <Ioes not seem td amount to much. It is nearly a year old before it Can walk at all. For the first year and a half it can not speak a word. For the first ten years it vrould starve it It had to earn its owu

ioou. ror me nrsi ncieca yours sis ion. on any subject is nbsolntelv v,ti»C* less. And then there arc so- many of thelm. My I what lots of children! Aud soine people hate tontsmpi for children. They are good for uoihiiig hut to wear out the carpets and break things and keep you awake nights crying. Well, your estimate of a child Is quite different from that mother's estimate who lost her child this summer. 1 They took it to lbs salt tdr of the seashore and to the tonic dr of the mount* alas, but no help cane, And the brief pa ragraph of Its life Is ended. Suppose that life could be restored by purchase, how tttuch would that bereaved mother give? She would take all the jewels from her fingers and neck ai d bureau and put them down. Aud if told that Was not enough, she would taco her house and make over the deed lor It; and if that were not enough she would coll la all her j Investments and put down all her rnort- j gages nnd bonds; and If told that were not enough, she would say) “1 have made over all my property, aud if I cau have that child back I will aow pledge that t will toil with my owe hands aud carry with ray own shoulders in any kind of hard work, and live in a cellar and die in a garret, Only give me back that lost darling. *’ I am glad that there are those who know something of the value of a child. Its possibilities arc tremendous. What will those hands yet do? Where Will those feet yet walk? Towarr. what destiny will that never-dying sotil betake itself? Shall those Ups be the throne of blasphemy Or benediction? Come, a 1 ye ^surveyors of the earth, and bring link aud chain and measure, It you'can i:s possible possessions. Com\ all ye- astronomers of the elarth with your telescopes, and tell ns if you can soe the range of its eternal itight. Come, all ye chronologists, and calculate the decades on decades, the. eouturies on centtiriss, the cycles on cycles, the eternities 'on eteruities of its lifetime. Oil. to save a child! Am I not right in putting that a mong the great exploits? Yea, it beats tie other two, for if you save the child you save the man or you save the worn in. [let th - first twenty years of that boy or girl all right and I guess you have got in lubood or womanhood all right, t.nd their. entire earthly and eternal ct.reof all right. But what are you going to do with those children who are worse oil than if their lather or mother had died the day they were born? There are tans of thousands of such. Their parental e was against them. Their name is against them. The struct - ure of their skulls is (.gainst them. Their nerves and muscle} oatnmiaated by the inebriety or dissoluteness of their parents, they are practically at their birth laid out on a plank Id the middle of the Atlantic ocean in tn equinoctial gale and told to mike for shore. The first greeting they get from the world is to be called a brat, or a ragamuffin, or a wharf rat What lo do with them Is the question often asked. There is another question quite as pertinent, aud that is: What are they going to do with us? They will, ten or eleven years from now, have as many votes as the same number of well-born children, and’ they will hand this land over to anarchy aud political damnation just as sure as we neglect them. Suppose we e icb one of us save a ; boy or save a girl. You can doit. Will you? I will. Take n cake of perfum’d soap, and a flue-tootled comb, an l a Jiew Testament, aud a little candy, and prayer, aud a piece of cake, and faith in God, and common sense, and begin this afternoon. But how shall wo get ready for one or nil of these three exploits? We shall make a dead faiturs it in our strength wo try to save a man or woman or child. But my text suggests where wo are to get equipment “The psopie that do know their Go l shall be strong aud do exploits." We must know him through Jesus Christ iu our own salvation and then we shall have his help in the salva

tioQ or ouners. Ana wjuw run me siting strangers jron ma y save soma of your owu kin. You thin : your brothers aud sisters and children and grandest % dren all safe, but thsy are not dead, and no one is safe till lie Is dead. On the Baglish coast there was a wild storm and a wreck it tho offing and the cry was: '‘Man the life-boat” But Harry, the usual lender of tho sailors' crew, was not to be found, and they went without him, aud b -ought back all the shipwrecked people except one. By this time Harry, the leader of the crew, appeared anti said: ‘ Why did you leave that one ?” The aniwer was: “He could not help himself at alt and we could not get him into the bout” “Man the lifeboat.” shouted Harry, “and we will go for that one.” “No,’ eahl hi* aged mother, standing by, “yoa must not go. I lost yonr father in a &rm like this an d your Brother Will went iff six years ago and I have not heard from Will since he left and 1 don't know where he is, and I don’t know what has happened to him, poor Will, and I can not let you also go, for X am old and dependent on you.” His reply was: ‘Mother, I must go and save that one man, and If I am lost God will taka e* ure of yon la your old days.” The life-beat put out and after an awful struggle with the sea they picked the poor fellow out of the rigging just in time to save his life and started for tho shore. And as they came within speaking distance, Harry, just before he fainted from the over-exertion, cried out: “We saved him, ai,d tell mother it was brother Will.” Oh, yea. for time and for eternity, some man, some woman, pome child. And who knows but it may, directly or indirectly, be the salvation of one of our own kindred, and that will be an exploit worthy of celebration when the world itself is shipwrecked and the sun haa gone out like u spark from a smitten anvil and ail the at ir? rre dead! A usx can have no worse enemy than his own conscience. When it oondemna him he thinks Ihst every one else condemns him; at leas :, he feels that be deserves nothing bit condemnation.

There is nothing more ftapo t >nt than lor m man to maintain a conseio isness at integrity and uprightness—to keep a “conscience void of offense toward Cod and man."—faftrfar. -*SM A ciuvs, whortves found, 1

MORTON’S ACCEPTANCE. Mtn *r non. tort J** Horton Acer,.tine the Nomination Ttildfrwl lllrn for tha Vlee.lresldencv by Republican National Convention at Chicago. As* York, Oct. 3.—Hon. L. P- Morton^ fills Written the following letlte.' of acceptance < RiinrecLtfr, N. t.. Oet s, hw*. Ron. m. M. Ests« amo omimis, Com mi t-IH-Gentvimem: In making formal ao optsnee of my nomination as the Republican candidate tor the Vice Presidency. I Heatro to exprCss my grateful appreciation of tho coneSencc reposed IS mo by the convention. Tho duties devolving on the Vice-President as presiding officer of the Senate, and in»ertain contingencies a participant In the legislation of Congress, make It proper that tho people should know distinctly add unreservedly the political views of the candidate who m»y bo presented for their suffrages. IV fortunately

trti P. Jforton. . happens that this duty for myself la easily discharged by referring to the principles embodied in the resolutions Unanimously adopted by the National convention. These resolutions, nnoQnivocal and comprehensive In character, reflect my personal convictions and have my hearty approval. It is difficult, hewever. in a political campaign to fix popular attention oil Wore than one issue, and in the pending election every voter in the United States clearly sees that the contrdling question U whether the protective larill duties now In force shall be so rcdttcod as to destroy their sfficiimcy, or whether these duties shall bo retained with soch modifleattons and adjustments as shall better adapt them ito the groat end ot protecting the vast and Important industries of the whole country. The Republican platform, whilo recogut2l#*,' the nrrosaity of reducing the revenue, declare# that this reduction -liu-i not be made at the expense of those Industrie* and of American labor. The American people have now enjoyed the protective system for a longer continuous period than ever before in the history of the National Government. The result is that for more than a quarter of a century they have realised a degree of industrial and financial prosperity unprecedented in this country and never equah d in any other. The pressing reason given for once again trying the old experiment of a revenue toon without protection as a motive or end, is that the present tarllt hae produced, and is producing a surplus in the treasury, llut is It not easwithin the wisdom of Congress to adjust tho National incomo to the National expenditures without sacrificing, or even Imperiling, an Industrial system Which has brought untold advantages to the entire country. Admitting that the present tariff, by lapse of time and the large expnnslon of trade which it has stimulated. needs revision, Is It not wiser and more patriotic to revise it Willi a careful regard to the interest of protection than with tho pup pose of lessening Its protective features! Those are some ot the questions which must be answered ut the Nutional polls in November. For myself,as acitixen andais a candidate, I do not hesitate to declare that from long ob-servation-1 am an unwavering friend of the protective system. In a business lite now extendIng over forty years I have witnessed and compared the effect upon the country of a revenue tariff tending to free trade with a protective tariff encouraging home industries. Under the former the development ot the country has always been arrested, wblidgUnder the latter it has uniformly been promoted. To tne men who earn their broad by the sweat of their brow the difference between th two systems Is that of narrowing chances on the one hand and expanding opportunities on tho other. Free trade would open America to competition with the whole world. Protection reserves America for Americans, native and adopted. The industrial system of a country Is si sensitive as its public credit. A host le movement creates distrust in the public mind, and confidence, the only basis ot successful trade., becomes impaired. New enterprises wither Ik the bud, capital grows timid, the field of labor is contracted ami pressure for employment inevitably reduces the wages of all workingmen. With the views of the convention so frankly expressed in Its resolutions upon all othet questions of public interest. I find myself in hearty accord. In relation to silver and Its important bearing upon the National currency. ai‘ well as us connection with and influence on the prosperity of large sections of our common country; in ita advocacy of a judteious settle ©ent of the pnbllo lands policy; in urging tho neccsstty for better coast defenses and the duty wo owe to the shipp ng interests of the country, the plat . form but repeats tho approved principles of the Republican party. The Republican platform proposes a distinctly American policy; not one of narrowness and bigotry, hut one broad and philanthropic—a policy that belt helps the whole world by the example of a great, growfhg,powerful Nation ifottuded ou the equally of every man before the law. It Is for the American people to develop and cultivate the continent to which in the proyidenoc of God they have fallen heirs. They should" adopt a policy which looks steadily to th‘s great end. With no spirit of narrowness towards other people, but rather in the highest Interest of all, they should find under their own flag o fiold of limitless advancement In tho direction of the Improvement, the prosperity and the happiness of man.
