TUB OLBItiOAtt mmOKBB. nema Caustic Obrtrvatlena On a Itcecntly At tempted. It.lerm. rrem the Philadelphia Bulletin. The pastors el the Reformed church et America met in New Yerk and allorded the reporters some amuaement by their discus discus alen of the tobaeoo habit among clergymen. A number of the disputants had reformed and thrown their pipes and anulT-bexea from them along with their garments el sin. One member declared that ameklng In modera tion waa net harmful even for a preacher. Anether ameked until he married, when he discovered that bis wire "did net like emeke." lie gave testimony, however, that he used te think It "very seething," until his wiie interdicted even the lighting of a elgsr In tbe house. One minister had ameked, bad stepped when he went into the ministry, bad resumed en his enlistment in the army, and bad refrained from stepping after the receipt et hla honorable discharge. He bore testimony that he enjoys lire mere for his pest-prandial smoke. Of course, one brother waa present te urge abstinence from cigars because tbe exercise et self-restraint la spiritually edifying, and there was his inev itable colleague te urge it because It la cheap. Hmeklng waa In turn the object et eulo eule giuma and denunciations, until one of the reverends called tobaeoo "a comforter and a pipe a been," and tbe presiding officer closed the debate with hla opinion, a veritable clincher, by tbe way: "1 think tbe Hely Oheat aheuld be comforter enough for a min ister." It is curious at thla late day te find clergy men going ever the same arguments concern ing tobacco. The preacher el the olden time ameked when he pleased and where he pleaaed, and Indeed tasted hla wine en ooca eoca oeca alon. But aa he grew mere modern, tbe old time candor disappeared. It waa argued while the praottee waa In no respect sin, and while there could be no moral Indict ment made agalnat tbe sedstlve pipe, the ex ample of the clerical smoker upon young men was net geed. Ttsa began the era el retired ameklng. The atudy was a place In which pipe and tobaeoo were screened from theeyeaef Imitative youth and from critical parisnieners. it waa nere tbat mild rtfleo rtflee rtfleo tlen and very strong ameke mingled In tbe leather-acented atmosphere of philosophical lore. Then the moral responsibility ler the young suggested tbe idea of aln, and tbe modern antl-tobaeco extremeat, the clerical Pharisee, armed with aerlptural text and unerring syllogism, protected hlmaelt upon bis offending brethren. The evolution of this creature from tbe ante Reformation holy friar will doubtless attract the attention of tbe metapbyaiclans and tbe oculists when simple historical narrative aball have tailed te ex plain tbe mysterious revolution. All that the present science can de la te assert hla ex istence.

A 1'srUnsnt Uasry and the Attempt Made te Answsr It. from the Bosten Herald. This question la asked eltener than It Is answered. It la time that It was snawared, and unless It la answered te the whole nature of a man, there la nothing but the traditions of childhood or the motives el respectability or Intellectual curiosity te take the average Individual te tbe house of Ged en Sunday morning. It la said with geed reason that you go te church te bear eermena, but a ser mon is nothing but an address te the intellect, or te tbe heart through the Intellect The sermon la a meana te an end ; It la net the end itself. It is placed at tbe end of the Bun day performaneea aa ir it were tbe big thing or the occasion, but lta real plaee la at tbe be ginning of the service, where It can be used aa a leverage for action. The English uni versity plan of frequently ualng preaching occasions for sermons only la a aeund method, aa distinguished from occasions where the object la worship exclusively. It would nut be a bad plan If, In our Protestant churches, the sermon were put first, se tbat whatever force the preacher created might be brought te some practical result in ministrations te our spiritual nature, instead of being what It commonly la te day the part of the enter tainment that tickles the ear and pleases tbe fancy. Rut in tbla case tbe miserable farce which Is new called worship would bsve te give way for something tbst has re slity and sincerity in it, and could net in any sense be called a makesblp. Worship la net a murlcal entertainment ; neither la it an Instruction ; neither la it specially Intended te please the audience that listens te It. It ht an exercise In which, in a public capacity, one individual unites with another te reoog reeog reoeg nlze the presence of Qed in the world, In society, and In hia own heart, Tbe private worship Is through prayer and meditation, and the escape of the soul from Itself Inte tbe personality of Ged ; the public worship is the union of one soul with another for the purpose of common devotion. Tbe Individual purpose is still retained, but It Is realized In acta In which all Jein In a aert of harmony. The purpose la te recognize tbe presence of Ged in a collective way. Be Is net only the father of a man, but or men. He Is the head or the order et things. This la te be expressed, and It la te be expressed as much by what one deea aa by what one aaya A man fat te pray with the heart and with tbe understanding also. The heart meana bodily lerver, and tbe understanding meana the In. tellectual and spiritual proeeaa, Beth go to te gether, and publle worship la that aert or ex ex presalen el tbe spiritual lire where one per son catches Inspiration from the devotion of hla neighbor, and all present Jein in what la conceived te be the ex presalen of tbe rev erence one abeuld bave for the Supreme Being, and tbe humility or manner which manlleata Itself In tbe confession el aln and In tbe desire for the possession or a right heart before Him. Nothing can be real until one haa put hlmaelt Inte thla attitude or devotion. It Is as necessary te have commend of one's emotional nature In entering upon religious worship aa It is for one te make hlmaelf agree able wben be enters a drawing room. The only difterenee la tbat In tbe former case the preparation la et the spirit, while In the latter it la tbe demeanor of tbe outward man. The Idea or being entertained la net germane te true religious worship. The great thing la te reach tbat natural and expressive language of devotion whleh la the suitable channel for the soul in lta going forth, aa It were, Inte tbe presence of Ged! This la aemetimea te be bad where tbe ear ear vlee la extremely almple and foliewa tbe lines et emotional expression; again It la reached by a formal worship in which tha parts are arranged with tbe view of awakeu lng tbe powers or tbe aeul till tbey respond telhe touch of the spirit of Ged. In either case there la a response which has tha effect el bringing our weak and Imperfect nature into a new condition, where one escapes from hlmaelf as he waa and enters into a higher state, where he finds the peace el Ged, which la said te pass man'a understanding; This Is net a difficult matter wben one really seeka It, and It la here that people find true help and comfort In gctng te church. The real Barpeae should be te lilt up the heart te the Hvlne Being In the delight of the shriven soul, and in tbe adoration of our whole na ture. The help of tbe worship la In the com munion of the aeul with Qed. Where enter tainment of man la the apparent object, thla higher expression of the relation of man te Qed la lest sight of, and It la because our Protestant churches have already lest tbe characteristics of the Christian worship, and use the Lord's Day for vagaries that entertain tbe multitude, tbat people are everywhere asking wby they aheuld go tochureb. Until thla atate of things ts thoroughly reformed, tbe Christian services In most places of wor ship will fall te be a help te tha spiritual Ufa of these who attend them. SHAMBO0K.

I'll get you te put some one else en the stage line for a week, and yen drive me around the country ; maybe I'll think up some work for you." "Thank ye, Ike." Yes, Professer Isaac Berth, the famous zoologist and entomologist, whose dignity rested en a series of valuable degrees wen by bard labor In many a wild country, who was even new maturing a scheme ler an expedi tion te the Conge, came back te the home or hla childhood and paaaed for " ike" with a man he had " licked for a bug' But Will Brown seen rose in the estimation or the scientist, who found that be was one or these men who thrive best in emergencies, and that in mementa of despondency he waa in tbe bablt of underrating hlmaelf. He had been unfortunate in bis enterprises, but still retained the respect of the community and was described "as s right smart chap it he had a chance." Aa te drinking he bad never carried It te great exeeaa. A month found the pair en their way te the Conge, and net long after despatches te a Londen dally announeed that the American naturalist Barth, and one ether white man, had atarted ter the Interior with a complete Bclentifis outfit and a large force of natives. Browne was Just tbe man te manage the natives, snd en him fell the executive duties of the expedition, while bis cblef devoted meat of bis time te carerul acientifle research. Deeper and deeper tbey plunged Inte tbe wilderness, traveling slowly sod carefully, intriguing, with their Uvea at stake, with one savage king after another. Tbby had paaaed two years in tbe Jangle, snd gathered a priceless zoological and botan ical collection, and a vast mas or Interesting facta. Te get home alive with thla there wss tbe rub I By the banks of an unknown river steed the two friends one evening, consulting ever a terrible misfortune. Leba, a chief whom tbey bad counted rrlendly, had aelssd upon their baggage and refused te surrender soy part or it ; tbe white men must stay with blm a while and help him. These boxes tbat they protected se carefully must have some great teetisb In them, and be would net let them be taken away lest it might work him eviL Argument and atratesy had been tried without success, be would keep them, and It waa evident that the shrewd old sav age thought that tbe white men would de anything for the sake or the feetlah In tbe boxes. He waa net far wrong, but the teetisb wss science. There seemed no ether course open than te abandon the treasures In the hope of recover ing thorn by another expedition. Te remain lu tbe country was out el the question, aa their amunltlen and supplies were nearly gene, and both were in bad health. Badly tbey said goodnight, but net an hour passed before they steed again lacing one another in the light of the moon. " Why, Will I what are you doing here V ' , "Tell ye the truth, Ike, I been a thinking e' your buga" He always spoke or the aclen aclen tlfie baggage as "Ike's bugs'1 " Let my bugs alone ; you can't get them." "Net se euro about that! What are you doing here T" "Thinking el buga, tee," said the scientist "Leu go for them." I've been thtaklng that I might disguise myself as a demon of some kind and scare the treasure away rrem them." The village or the chief lay a mile above the river bank. " 1 catch I" said Brown, aa he stepped Inte a canoe, "get In quick I" Years of danger had taugbt them te act rapidly with few words, and as the night waa well en and they would need all el It te cover their flight, this was a time for haste. Each bad come te the shore with soma half defined plan for a desperate venture, though each had expected te try it alone, and tbey carried all their weapena Tha rifles ware laid en the mat sails in the bottom of tha beat, and they piled tbe paddles vigorously. Just below the village they ran the beat ashore among the reeds aad-tnaa naaaad stealthily through them, Browne dragging the sail mats and the pole of tba canoe, A few words In the beat bad explained matters, and tbey knew hew te act when inev reaonee ine ease or tne viuase.

As the beat touched Berth called his orders te break camp at once and launch tbe big canoes, and springing ashore, he pushed tbe men se rapidly thai they were out In tbe stream before they were well awake.
