And HO for the nuke of old friendship, I venture to toll you the truth, As plainly, perhaps, and as bluntly, as I might In our earlier youth. Five summers aco when you woed her, you stood on s»Mf-«amo plane. Face to fttre, heart to heart, never dreaming your KOU

S could be parted again.

She loved you nt'that time entirely, In the bloom of"h««r life'* early May, ^nd it Is not her fault. I repeat it, thatshe does not love you to-day.

Have you, too, aspired and prayed? Have you look«-d upon evil unsullied you conquered It undismayed?

Have you, too. grown purer and wiser, as the months nnd the years have rolled on? I1(1 you meet her this morning rejoicing in the triumph of victory won?

Nav, hear me! The truth cannot, harm you. \Vhen to-day In her presence von stood, Was the hand that you gave her as while and clear as that of her womanhood?

(Jo measure yourself by her standard. Look back on the years that have lied Then ti.sk. If you need, why she tells you that the love of her girlhood Is dead!

Hlie cannot look down to her lover her love, like her .soul, aspires lie must stand by her side, or above her, who would kindle Its holy tires.

Now, farewell! For the sake of old friendship I have ventured to tell you Ih-t truth. As plainly, porhans, ami as bluntly, as I might In our earlier youth.

Till-: SA Ft'Ji I'A UDS OF SOCIAL I'VUITY. l!tlow wo make

HOIHO extracts from a

recent sermon by I lev. Hubert l*iiril ('oilier on tho Social Kvil. His words are plain, but none too plain in view of thrtsnuroa that besot tho noblest and the bus! of our younn men and women. And (T'ry day in -ity like this ami, alat! in many smaller towns as well, witnesses tho need of such plain counsel:

Th" llrst tiling lo s-tMo Is this, that chastity Is tho primal condition of physical, intellectual, and moral health, tho basis, th« foundation stone, nay, tluvvery ground In which tho foundation stono of society is laid, and widespread ignorance of this truth is the nftiiif Iho inntnw^tinafi ouu*« of unchnstHy. I include in this assertion not only the more fortunate of birth and condition, but thoso who live on the very border line of animalism. .Social purity is possible and best for every human bo'intf, and every young man as well as youn^ woman, should be trained in this philosophy, which should lw made not only plausible, but demonstrated by the sanctions of science and tho observations of mankind. It is a monstrously low conception of our nature to hold that the race itself nnd its pro|iagatlon are the result of those lower appetites of man. Marriage Is born of love above tho plane of lust, and desire Is the Immaculate child of love, not love as desire. We find these passions so slronuc In many boot\use they are cultivated and fostered, rather than curbed or oheekod.

And what do ouryouth know of these things, and how do they know them? The imrents are mawkishly silent and falsely modes!. The boys ami jftrls, for the most part, jjrow up with no knowlled^e, save the vicious sort, picked up at school or on the streets. The pulpits and Sunday school louchors ignore the OVil, and so our children are left to tho obscene public it ions, which purport to bo written In I be interest ot purity, but usufflly tend to vif. So that Insisist that Ignorance on this subject is the main suggest or and tijjo of social sin. Our physicians could do ti better service for reform than imy class of our professional or public by writing well-worded tracts on this subject, and insisting, In Ihelr Intercourse with youth, upon HIMOIUIO purity as the only standard, ami In every way as tending to physical development, iti intellectual vlgiir, nnd moral integrity.

It is furthermore In our hninaii *onHtl ution to sink into depravity in proportion as the higher lenities und aspiration* are InnrtTvo. idleness* Is tho devil's worksh"p." The vicious youth usually art1 not among our hard working laborers and inochriuicw—5 heir daily toll often overcomes ihe seductive Influences* of their surnmndings in life, and they pass into a virtuous and useful manhood, niarrv, live happily, nml make resectable citizens. Hut the face* full of lust yon will lltul upon the idiom—the wins and daughters of tho rich nnd pretentious, who grow up without employment and haru work, who are on the s'reels as loafer* and drones, whose literature is the weekly picture pa pern and tho lowest sort of sensational novels.

I am surprised to meet well-dmwed youths tif biiUi sexes on the ulreot* after nightfall in SunUiar intercourse with «aeh other, nnd bovs who seem lo have full range oi the city before they enter their teen*. Ml, ness* ami the unguarded life of our youth, next to ignorance, are tU" ehici and cumulative cause of unchastity in our vouth. I do not ignore tho Painful'fact of prostitution and when I contemplate nwacongrt** for gain, when I remember that it is a business prmeented for a livelihood by women. I esstn only hope nnd arm inv own heart Inst desj«lr. I charge aocietv with much of this crime. 1 concede that a woman had belter beg or starve thnn trunic tn shame that nothing can justify this wrong yet I am sure that it U* largely born of our conventional and false lite. Shop girl* and the women toiling on half-jwv in tnamifactories ami paper mills 'and book binderies, and employed an saleswomen in great mercantile «saialtllshtuenta, because they an bo pmcured for Mtmll remuneration. become tiere itched of feahitm, spend their income, and want more to spend on dre*» and aoclcty, and give way to overture* flrom develisti men—the ueatroyera of virtue and heaven, hut lh« inUabltauu of the uio*t Nttre huU oi which wo can know

anything, and nre led on from one degree of anchastlty to another of shame until they end in* brothels and untimely death. Another aspect ot fashionable life, in every way conducive of domestic alienation, and finally infidelity, is the conceded unwillingness of upper society ladies to abide tue laws of nature in maternitv, whereaa every child in a household fs another golden cord binding both mother and fhther to chastity, sobriety, and industry.

I cannot "para without advertine to what seems to mo criminal carelessness, if not indifference, on the part of parents to tho moral education of their children. I have been almost put to the blush listening to children of my acquaintance describing matinees and theatricals which they have attended, where vulgarity was open and obscenity was suggested, and I assure you familiarity with the settlings is no promoter of purity, We are to go not in the way of evil, neither are our eyes to behold it.

I have indicated, already, how groat stress I lay upon proper education concerning all this subject how the^work should bo begun in tho home. Young boys and girls should bo informed and well armed, and that at an early age, against this insinuating, boeauso often unsuspected, temptation. Then let the physician supplement, in a social and unprofessional way, the work of the parents and then tho minister,_ in the most friendly, loving, confidential, and abovo all, unporfunctory manner, supplement tho work of both.

Lot the children of both sexes bekept under tho wise control of the household until they pass the period when passion first demands a heeding, and until tho boys and girls aro well and firmly rooted and grounded in virtue and morality. No boys on the street at night, and no girls at'midnight parties ar balls, and then less animalism will result. To this end lot the home be attractive, and, I premise, of this, money is the least necessary condition. Love, berfutiful love, is" the vital thin .-. Known, felt, pronounced lovo between father and mother. Coldness here is -ory catching, and home has no purgsttorv—it is either heaven or hell—and chiidren will soon foel that it is this latter when the fine understanding of ntimont is lost between father and mother. And such is my estimation ot woman's worth and work that I always inrlinc to blame a woman whoso homo is dreary, rtosolato and unchoery because of the absence of lovo.

There, then, must bo tho best terms between the parents and children— nothing forbidding or separating the father must be tho confidant of the boys, and the mother of tho girls. Let amusements and evening games and readings come in to fill up tho time and make homo happy. And there must bo no want of authority. Children are tyrants in what we are wont to call their tender years, and will ride over father and mother if only they dare to. Let thoro be rules about tho deportment of tho children while in the house, and this indexible one that they aro'to be tliero until twenty-one years of ago, every night, except when tho parents know just where they are each hour.

A WKSTKIIN L1Q UOJt LA if. Something of a novel experiment is being tried in Ohio, which seems to be working better for tho shutting up of liquor saloons than any thing yet tried. The law provides I hat Every husband, wife, child, parent, guardian.'employer, or other person, who shall bo injured in person, property, or means of support, by «ay uitoxicuted persoiv, or in consequence of such,intoxication, shall have a right of action against both the porson who sold tho liquor and tho landlord who owns the premises on which the salo was made." The constitutionality of the law has been atllrmed, and there is no loophole of escape there for ths saloon keepers and within tho last few weeks tlireo or four actions against them have resulted in tho roeovery of damages from their indirect victims. One lady—tho widow of physician—obtained a verdict ot five thousand dollars against the rumseller who had supplied her husband with tho liquor that killed him another was awarded two thousand eight hundred dollars for the loss of a son under a similar state o( facts whilo in a largo number of instances that have very 1 itely transpired various smaller verdicts have been recovered by the friends of those who have fallen into the drunkard's grave. The law further provides that any line imposed upon a saloon keeper or house owner, or any judgment obtained in a civil suit instituted under the above mentioned circumstances, shall become a

HOB

upon

tho premises until fully discharged, and that in case of default said premises shall lie sold at sheriirs sale. So that every facility is given to the several plaintiffs to prosecute their claims to a successful terminatibn, and no possible loophole left for I ho escapo of the offender. The scheme thus sketched has only been in operation for a few months, but the most benctieial results have marked its progress. Indeed, the Ohioans, in urging other Legislatures to follow their example, claim that the law Is the most effective one ever conceived, and is attended bv the greatest amount ot fear and trembling by those engaged iti tho liquor traffic.

MONKEY AND MAN.

Mr. Darwin's new work on the Doscent of Man" has recently appeared, and a lively ethnological discussion may now fairly bo oxpected. The broad conclusion arrived *t by Mr. Darwin is thus unequivocally explained by hini:

Man is descended from a hairy quadruped, furnished with a tail and pointed ears, probably arboroal in his habits, and an inhabitant of the Old World." This is laid down by the author as tho result of a long chain of reasoning, and we need not say that it will bo uotly disputed. The protracted scries of skirmishes that has been going on for the last twelve years, and in which Iluxley, Herbert Spencor and others have taken part, will now in all probability culminate in a battle royal, and ond, perhaps, in furnishing tho world with more definite conclusions than have hitherto been reached. Pending this result we may observe two interegUng facts: First, that startling as is S&X Darwin's proposition, it only affirms as tho final term of a logical analysis what Lord Monboddo bluntly asserted one hundred years ago without one and, second, that the latest discoveries, which from time to timo we have printed, seem to establish thosuperiorantiquity of man as man on tho American continent.

Mr. Darwin, however, considers that our original progenitors lived in Africa, so that tho queer song which claims among other things that tho Ethiopian is de soopcrior race" may, so far as ago goes, have something besides humor to recommend it. Mr. Darwin traces, with immense pains and elaboration, tho so-called evidences in the physical structuro of man of his descent from less highly organized forms. He holds that there is a general tendency in our race to augment the totality of its functions a theory altogether in harmony with the "progressive" notions of tho day. He points out the curious rudimentary structures in man, which ho possesses in common with some of the lower animals—one of these being the blunt point of the folded margin of the car. Mr. Darwin concedes that tho present difference between the lowest savage and tho highest monkey* is great—greater than that between Shakspeare and an idiot but he insists that the difference is not in kind, but in degree. Ho then proceeds to give a vast number of illustrations ot tho"intcllectual and emotional peculiarities of the lower animals." He tells of a baboon which always gets into a furious rage when its keeper takes out a book and begins to road aloud"—tho animal, no doubt, apprehending tho work to be an anti-Darwinian treatise of sonic kind or another of an ape with which Mr. Waterhousc was acquainted, and which sings admirably of tho chimpanzee, who cracks his nuts with a stone of tho orang who uses a lever of the artful baboons who, like tho countrymen of William Tell, hurl stones from tho mountain tops on the heads of their enemies and of other sagacious creatures of tho same tribo wlio get drunk over night, and drink lomon-juico as a corrective in the morning, cover themselves with leaves when they aro cold, and know enough, as tho addago has it, to go in when it rains."

All this is very interesting: but still, as Jlenodick says, "it is 110 euro for the toothache." In other words, tho eun-| ning tricks and imitative faculty of the animals—especially when long associated with man—are well known and admitted, but scarcely in theimcJvit

forgot to water his milk. In the hall of one of his customers on his round tho sad omission flashed upon Jink's wounded fwclings. A large tub of clean water stood on tho floor bv his side no eye was upon him, and thrice did Jinks dilute his milk with a large measure lilled from tho tub, lefore the maid brought up the jugs. Jinks served hor, and went on. While he was bellowing down tho next area, his first customer's servant beckoned him from tho door. Jinks returned, and was immediately ushered into the library, and into the presence of the gentleman of tho house.

Well, sir, it's "useless to deny tho thing, for I suppose you watched IIIA while "No," interrupted the gentleman "the fact is, that my children bathe at home, jinks, and the tub In the hall was full of sea-water."

establish identity of origin. Ncvnjhpf this less, this is but a section of Mfr./jfcfoid, win's work, and is no doubt led'upVo and followed by coherent links of reasoning. Yet, whatever the power and eloquence of his argument, there canv bo no question that Darwin will encounter sharp and obstinate opposit ion. It will tako some timo to convince men that they are all descended from the "hair-mantled, rtnt-hurling, aboriginal anthropophagi* and to get them to confess their filial obligations to the baboon will bo difficult indeed. We know not whether Mr. Itarnum still clings to his former ingenious theoiy concerning tho origin of tho "What fs It," but if Mr. Darwin goeson a lecturingfhur, as it is said ho will do, we recommend him to emulate in this wise the tcmpcnuioo orators, and take tho "What Is It" along with him as a "borid example." He will thus have ready at hand a forcible illustration of one of his concluding remarks, which is 'o the effect that should not be ashamed of his descent, but ought rather to reflect with pride on the method in which lie has reached the top of the organic scale.
