CONTRARY WINDS. Pefsoni Are Under the Die* Advantage of an Unfortunate Name. • _ Ubor Sidw th* Ml*fortune of plot* Pajtlral Eqoipouat—Or. IMmc*'* B-ootlfol Sermon of Em «wra(«oaut to Struggling Souls, fir- Talmage took for his sermon tktsubject “Contrary Winds,” and the text Matthew xir., 34, “The winds was contrary.” As I well know by experience on I<mke Galilee, one hour all may be calm wad the next hour the winds and waves will be so boisterous that yon are in doobt as to whether you will land on the shore or on the bottom of the deep. The disciples in the text were caught ia such a stress of weather and the .sails bent and the ship plunged, for “the wind was contrary.” There is in eme of the European Straits a place where, whichever way you sail, the sriads are opposing. There are people who all their life seem sailing in Wke teeth of the wind. All things aeem against them. It may be said of their condition as of that of the diseiples in my text, “the wind was contrary.”

A great multitude ox people are un<ier seeming disadvantage, and I will to-day, in the swarthiest Anglo-Saxon that I eat manage, treat tneir cases not as a burse counts out eight or ten drops of a prescription and stirs them In g half glass of water, but as when a oaa has by a mistake taken a large auaonnt of strychnine or paris green -or belladonna and the patient is malted rapidly round the room and shaken up until he gets wide awake, j Many of you have taken a large : draught of the poison of discouragement, and I come out by the order of < the Divine Pnysician to ronse you out of that lethargy. First, many people are under the disadvantage of an unfortunate name i given them by parents who thought i they were doing a good thing. Some ] times at the baptism of children while j I have held up one hand in prayer 1 have held up the other hand in amazement that parents should have weight- j «d the babe with such a dissonant and ! repulsive nomenclature. I have not «o much wondered that some children should cry out at the christening font as that others with such smiling face should take a title that will be the harden of their life-time. It is outrageous to afflict children with an un- . desirable name because it happened to he possessed by a patent or a rich un- , cle from whom favors are. expected or some prominent man of the day who may end his life in disgrace. It is no - excuse, because they are Scripture names, to call a child Jehoiakim or Tiglath-Rileser. 1 baptized one by the name Hathaheba. Why, under all j the circumambient heaven, any parent should want to give to 'a child the auneof that loose creature of Scripture times I can not imagine. 1 hare often left at the baptismal altar, when ’ names were announced to me, like j saying, as did Rev. Dr. Richards, ! of Morristown. X. J„ when a child i was handed him for baptism and the | name given, “Hadn't you better call it I something else?" Impose not upon that babe a name suggestive of flippancy or meanness. "There is no excuse for such assault and battery on the cradle when our language is opulent with names musical and suggestive in meaning, such as rJohn. meaning “the gracious gift of Hod/* or Henry, meaning “the chief ucf a household," or Alfred, meaning “good counselor," or Joshua, meaning *\lod, our salvation," or Ambrose, meaning “immortal," or Andrew, •meaning “manly," or Esther, meaning j ■“afar,** or Abigail, meaning "my Jaiher's joy.” or Anna, meaning j ■“grace." or Victoria, meaning “victory," or Rosalie, meaning “beautiful as a rose," or "Margaret, meaning “a pearl," or Ida. meaning “godli ke," ■ or Clara, meaning “illustrious," or Amelia, meaning “busy." or Kertha, ro caring “beautiful," and hundreds of other names just as good that are a j .help rather than a hindrance. But sometimes the great hindrance in life is not in the given name, but ! in the family name. While legisla- : tares are willing to lift such incubus, there are families which keep a name which mortgages all the gen- » erations with a great disadvantage, j 'You say, “1 wonder if he is any relation to “So-and-so," mentioning some family celebrated for crime or decep

tioo. It m a wonder to me tnat in &u sack families some spirited young man dow ,not rise, saying to his brothers uj sisters, *‘If you want to keep til is nuisance or scandaltzation of a name. I will keep it no longer than until by quickest course of law 1 can •lough off this gangrene.** The city directory has hundreds of names the ns«re pronunciation of which has been hsttfelong. obstacle. If you have started life under a name which either through ridiculous orthography or \ vicious suggestion has been an in.onmbrance, resolve that the next generation shall not be so weighted. It is pot demeaning to change a name. Saul e( Tarsus became Paul the Apostle. Hadassah. “the myrtle,** became Esther, “the star” We hav* in Amer- I ica. and 1 suppose it is so in all coun* tries, names which’ought to be abolished and can be and will be abolished .lor she reason thst they are a libel and a slander. Hut if for any reason you are submerged either by a given name -or by a family name that you must tbear, God will help you to overcome the outrage by a I;'e consecrated to the good and nsef. L You may erase the curse from the name. If it once stood for meanness, you can make it stand for generosity. If once it stood for pride, you can make it stand for humility.' If it once stood for fraud, you ema make it stand for honesty. Lf once It stood for wickedness, you ca or make it aland for purity. There havi been multitudes of instances where men •ad women have magnificently eon.qvered the disasters yt the name inflicted upon them. Again, many people labor under the •misfortune of incomplete physical -«^uir'roav We ara by Of : Creator so

— i economically built that we out not af- : ford the obliteration of any physical faculty. We want our two eye*, our two ears, our two hands, our two feet, ocr eight fingers and two thumbs. Yet what multitudes of people hare but one eye or but one foot! The ordinary casualties of life hare been quadrupled, quintupled, sextupled, aye, centupled, in onr time by the eiril war, and at the north and south a great multitude are fighting the great battle of life with half or less than half the needed physical armament. I do not wonder at the pathos of a soldier during the war, who, when told that he must hare his hand amputated, , said, ‘'Doctor, can’t you sare it?’’ and when told that it was impossible, said, with tears rolling down his cheeks: “Well, then, good-by, old hand. 1 hate to part with you. You hare done me a good setrice for many years, bat it seems you must go Good-by.” A celebrated surgeon told me of a scene in the clinical department of one of the New York hospitals, when a poor man with a wounded leg was brought in before the students to be operated on. The surgeon was pointing out this and that to the students and handling the wounded leg, and was about to proceed to amputation wheh the poor mau leaped from the table and hobbled to the door and aaid, “Gentlemen, 1 am sorry to disappoint you, bnt by the help of God 1 will die with my leg on.” What a terrific loss is the loss of our physical faculties!”

let how many suffer from this physical taking-off! Good cheer, my brother! God will make it up to you somehow. The grace, the sympathy of God, will be more to you than anything you hare lost. If God allows part of your resources to be cut off in one place, he will add it on somewhere .else. As Augustus, the emperor, took off a~day from February, making it the shortest month in the year, and added it to August, the month named after himself, so advantages taken from one part of your nature will be added on to another. Hut it is amazing how much of the world's work has been done by men of subtracted physical organization. S. S. Preston, the great orator of the southwest, went limping ail his life, but there was no foot put down upon any platform of his day that resounded so far as his clubfoot. Beethoven was so deaf that he could not healr the crash of the orchestra rendering his oratorios. Thomas Carlyle, the dyspeptic martyr, was given the commission to drive can't out of the world’s literature. Kev. Thomas Stockton, of Philadelphia, with one lung raised his audience nearer Heaven than most ministers can raise them with two lungs. In the banks, the insurance companies, the commereial establishments,the reformatory associations, the churches, there are tens of thousands of men and women to-day doubled up with rheumatism or subje.ct to the neuralgias or with only fragments of limbs, the rest of which they left at Chattanooga or South Mountain or the Wilderness, and they are worth more to the world, and more to the church, and more to God than those of us who have never so much as had a finger joint stiffened by a felon. Put to full use all the faculties that remain and eharge on all opposing cir.cumstances with the determination of John of Bohemia, who was totally blind, and yet at a battle cried out, "I pray a«d beseech you to lead me so far into the fight that I may strike one good blow with this sword of mine!" Ho not think so much of what faculties you have lost as of what faculties remain. You have enough left to make yourself felt in three worlds, while you help the earth and balk hell and win Heaven. Arise from your discouragements, O men and women of depleted or crippled physical faculties, and see what, by the special help of God. you can accomplish! The skilled horsemen stood around Bucephalus, unable to mount or manage him, so wild was the steed. Hot Alexander noticed that the sight of his own shadow seemed to disturb the horse, bo Alexander clutched him by the bridle and turned his head away 'from the shadow and toward the sun, and the horse’s agitation was gone, and Alexander mounted him and rode off, to the astonishment of all who stood by. And what you people need ie to have your sight turned away from the shadows of yonr earthly lot, ovor which you have so long pondered, tit^Tyour head turned toward the sun— the glorious sun of gospel consolation and Christian hope ana apiritnal triumph.

Ana late rememoer mat an pnysical disadvantages will after awhile van* ish. Let those who have been rheuma* turned out of a foot, or catsracted out of an eye, or by the perpetual roar of our cities thundered out of an ear, look forward to the day when this old teriment house of flesh will come down and a better one shall be build* ed. The resurrection morning will provide you with a better outfit. Kither the unstrung, worn out, blunt* ed and crippled organs will be so reconstructed that you will not know them, or an entire new set of eyes «nd ^ars and feet will be given you. Just what it means by corruption putting on incorruption we do not know, save that it will be glory ineffable, no limping in Heaven, no straining of the eyesight to see things a little way off, no putting of the hand behind the ear to double the capacity of the tympanum. but faculties perfect, all the keys of the instrument attuned for the sweep of the fingers of ecstacy. But until that day of resumption comes let us bear each other's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Another form of disadvantage under w hich many labor is lack of early education. There will be no excuse for ignorance in the next generation. Free schools and illimitable opportunity of education will make ignorance a crime. 1 believe in compulsory education, and those parents who neglect to put their children under educational advantages have but one right left, and that is the penitentiary. But there are multitudes of men and women in midlife who have had no opportunity. Free schools had not yet been estibi shed, and vast multitudes had little or no school St

all. They feel it when ns Christian ne» they come to speak or pray in religious assemblies or public occasions, patriotic or political or educational. They are silent because they do not feel competent. They owe nothing to English grammar, or geography, or belles letters. They would not know a participle from a pronoun if they met it many times a day. Many of the most successful merchants of America and men in high political places can not write an accurate letter on any theme They are completely dependent upon clerks, and deputies, and stenographers, to make things right I knew a literary man who in other years in this city made his fortune by writing speeches for congressmen or fixing them up for the Congressional Record after they were delivered. The millionaire illiteracy of this country is bey one measurement Now. suppose a man finds himself in midlife without education, what is he to do? Do the beat he can. The most effective layman in a former pastoral charge that I ever heard speak on religious themes could within five minutes of exhortation break all the lawa of English grammar, and if he left any law unfractured he would complete the work of lingual devastation in ths prayer with which he followed iu But I would rather have him pray for me if I was sick or in trouble than any Christian man 1 know of, and in that church all the people preferred him in exhortation and prayers to all others. Way? Because he was so thoroughly pious and had such power with God he was irresistible, and as he went on in his prayer sinners repented and saints shouted for jov, and the«bereaved

seemed to get back their dead m celestial companionship. And when he had stopped praying and as soon as I could wipe out of my eyes enough tears to see the closing hymn 1 ended the meeting, fearful that some long winded prayer meeting bore would pull us down from the seventh heaven. Not a word have 1 to say against accuracy of speech or fine elocution or high mental culture. Get ail these you can. But 1 do say to those who were brought up in the day of poor school- ! houses and ignorant schoolmasters and no opportunity: You may have so much of good in your soul and so much of Heaven in your everyday life that you will be mightier for good than any who went through the curriculum of Harvard or Yale or Oxford, yet never graduated in the sehool of Christ. When you get up to the gate of Heaven, no one will ask you whether you can parse the first chapter of Genesis, but whether you have learned the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom, nor whether you know how to square the circle, but whether you have lived a square life in a round world. Mount Zion is higher than | Mount Parnassus. But what other multitudes there are under other disadvantages! Here is a i Christian woman whose husband thinks religion a sham, and While the wife prays the children one way the | husband swears them another. Or | here is a Christum man who is trying to do his^est fior God and the church, | and his wife'lfolds him back and says on the way home from prayer meeting. where he gave testimony for Christ: “What a fool you make of yourself! I hope hereafter you will keep stilL” And when he would be benevolent and give §50 she criticises him for not giving 50 cents. I must do justice and publicly thank God tl;at I never proposed at home to give anything for any cause of humanity or religion but the other partner in the domestic firm approved it, and when it seemed beyond my ability and faith in God was necessary she had three-fourths the faith. Bub I know men who, when they contribute to charitable objects, are afraid that the wife shall find it out. What a withering curse such a woman mast be to a good man! Then there are others under the great disadvantage of poverty. . Who ought to get things cheapest-? You say those who have little means. But they pay more. You buy coal by the ton; they buy it by the bucket. You buy flour by the barrel; they buy it by the pound. You get apparel cheap because you pay cash; they pay dear because they have to get trusted. And the Bible was right when it said, “The destruction of the poor is their poverty.** Then, there are those who made a mistake in early Life, and that overshadows all their days. “Do you not know that that man was once in prison?** is whispered. Or, “I>o you know that that man once attempted suicide?" Or, “Do you known that that man once absconded?” Or, “Do you know that that man was once discharged for dishonesty?" Perhaps there was oniy one wrong deed in the man's life, and that one act haunts the subsequent half century of his ex* istence.

Others have unfortunate predominance of some mental faculty, and their rashness throws them into wild enterprises, or their trepidation makes them decline great opportunity, or there is a vein of melancholy in their disposition that defeats them, or they have an endowment or overmirth that causes the impression of insincerity. Others have a. mighty obstacle in their personal appearance, for which they are not responsible. They forget that Gol fashioned their features, and their complexion and their stature, the size of their nose and mouth and hands and feet, and gave them their gait and their general appearance, and they forget that much of the world's best work aud the church’s best work has been done by homely people, and that Paul the Apostle is said to base been humpbacked and his eyesight weakened by ophthalmia, while many of the fines: in appearance ha ve pasted their time before flattering looking glasses or in studying killing attitudes and in displaying the richness of wardrobes— not one ribbon or vest or sack or glove or bhtton or shoestring of which they have had brains to earn for themselves.

NOBLY MET HIS FATE A Brave Engineer Remains at His Post b th« Presence of Certain Death, and Of* fen up His Own Life to Save Other*— ▲ Fatal Accident Caused by an Open Switch. Gulxwood Sprixgs, Cbl., May 29.— An extra freight, going west, ran upon the Cabera siding at seven o'clock yesterday morning to allow No. A passenger. the Atlantic express; to pass. The switch was left open. The first sec- j tion of No. 4 ran into the open switch, derailing the engine, mail and baggage coaches and one passenger coach. Engineer John West and Fireman Denny Donahay were instantly killed. Passengers were badly bruised and shaken up. Some had to be rescued through j holes cut in the coaches. Some were cut with broken glass and badly scratched, but it is thought that none are seriously injured. All the passengers of the ^wrecked section were brought in this condition to Ulenwood. All the blame for the accident seems to attach to the brake man of the freight j train, who left the switch open. As soon as Engineer West discovered ! | the open switch he blew his whistle ; and reversed his engine. He remained j ^ on his engine, and but for his prompt | action in the last minute of his life j many more would now be numbered j among the dead. West was one ! of the oldest and most faithful I engineers on the road. The point j where the accident occurred is a very j dangerous, one just on the bank of the Grand river, where a little more mo* I mentnm would have precipitated the entire train into the water which is ! now very high.

THE LUETGERT MYSTERY. A Mott Important Discovery—The Prosecution Rests Its Case. Chicago, May 28.—Prof, de la Fontaine, the expert ehemist, has made a discovery in his investigations into the contents of the vat in the Luetgert sausage factory, which is considered ; by the prosecution to be of a nature most damaging to the defense. In the sediment not only has he found traces of teeth, but also a large number of j flakes of a composition only found in the human tooth. This, together with j the broken false tooth found by the j police near the vat is looked upou by ; the prosecution as the strongest kind of evidence to establish the corpus delicti, which the defense has maintained was wanting in the state's case. The state rested its case yesterday with the evidence of Prof, de la Fontaine. and Dentist Klein. No effort will be made to call any other witnesses,exeept in rebuttal.aud then only in case an effort is made by the defense to go into expert testimony. THE FLOOD AT EL PASO. Everything Possible Bring Done to Relieve the Sufferers. El Paso, Tex., May 23.—The flood situation to-day is deplorable, but everything possible is being done to tyd the sufferers. Tents have been secured from the government. The board of health has provided free medical attention for all the ill and a large amount of money and provisions have been contributed. The water is still pouring through the break which occurred yesterday j and is flowing steadily through the j southern half of the city. No fatali- j ties have occurred. The river dropped six inches last night and it will probably drop a foot to-night. The water will be under control to-night and turned back into the regular channel. A PRETTY SCHEME To Rob a Pont OUce frustrated by One of the Conspirators, Who Weakened. Portland. Ore., May 29.—A scheme to rob the post office in this city was disclosed yesterday afternoon, and as a result Juliau Eppmg, chief clerk of the registry department: City Jailer Watson, Detective Uolsapple, Eugene Gautier and a man named Simpson jare all under arrest for conspiracy. The scheme was to bind and gag Epping, who would previously arrange to have his safe open. Uolsapple and Watson were to be waiting at the city jail when the alarm was turned in and were to rush to the post office, take charge of the case and insure Simpson's getting away with the booty. The conspiracy was disclosed by Gautier.

CLOSING DAY Of the Tuion Meeting of Commercial j Clube Ou Kentucky SoU. ClxcixXATt, May 29.—The programme i of the closing’ day of the union meet- j ing of Commercial clubs, of Boston, Chicago, SL Louis and Cincinnati, was | interrupted some by inclement weather. Still the electric cars started early for i the Kentucky highlands with over 200 j prominent business men aboad for j the outing. ,, At Fort Thomas the visitors wit- | nessed a salute of colors in honor of ! Secretary Gage, who was in the party. At noon luncheon was served at the club house on Latonia race track, at which the famous Kentucky burgoo i was among the soups. With the exception of the evening banquet the ! entertainments of the day were all on | the Kentucky side of the rivcrA picture which is causing considerable continent in London at present is Mr. Philip Burne-Jones’ “The Vampire.** The canvas represents a woman kneeling on a bed flooded by moonlight, and gloating over a man who is lying prone and unconscious, the red mark on his bare chest telling the tale of the vampire’s deadly caress. The expression on the woman’s pale face, her dark eyes half closed in satisfaction, the beauti- : ful lines of her supple form in her I white draperies, are remarkable, and j many critics pronounce the work the i beet that Mr. Burne-Jones has done.
