Central Truth .—The use made of this
life will determine our character and
condition in the next.
So far as appears, this parable is a
continuation of the saute discourse as
that of the last chapter and the last
two lessons. It was spoken to the Phar
isees, and the occasion of its utterance,
together with n hint of its purpose, may
be found in the fourteenth verse.
In tho parable of the unjust steward,
with which this chapter opens, our
Saviour had spoken to his disciples con
cerning tho right use of money. They
were so to manage lite affairs of this lile
as not to forleit, but to make sure, the
heritage of eternal riches, i>f this the
Pharisees, who stood by and who were
covetous, made light. They derided
him. They were lovers of this world,
and had for their "good things" the
shows and luxuries which can fx- bought
with money. At the counsel to make
friends ot the mammon of unrighteous
ness, who should receive them into ever
lasting habitations, they mocked.
Our Saviour replied that Hod looks
upon the heart rather than the outward
appearance; and. alter some other words
of rebuke, proceeded to this parable.
The story is told to meet their sneer,
and is full of warning against pride and
satisfaction in earthly things. The pic
ture is vivid for the reason that the
warning was greatly needed, as it is
now, nnd is likely always to be.
It should be distinctly noticed that
the rich man was not sent to the place
of torment because lie was rich; nor
yet for the one case of heartlessnes*
brought before us in the story. Such a
supposition would be contrary to the
whole tenor of Bible teaching. His use
of worldly goods and his treatment of
the beggar at his gate were signs and
expressions of inward character and
moral drift. They plainly signified that
bo hof neither the fear of Hod nor re
gard for man. He lived for himself
alone. Pride and present indulgence
were his ruling passions. He left the
future to take care of itself. And for
this, not for any great blasphemy or
crime such as the world condemns, he
was excluded from Paradise.
There is something very startling in
this. The teacher and scholar wiil do
well to fix it in thought. It is not
flagrant wickedness alone which shuts
out from heaven. F.osy-going worldli
ness, which forget* Hod and a hereafter,
or the selfishness which cares little for
others, is just as sure to do it.
Nor was Lazarus taken to the com
panionship of the blest because he was
poor. His name gives a clue to hi*
character. It is a modified form of the
Old Testament Klea/.er, and signifies
"God is my help." It indicates that hi*
was a heart that looked up and beyond ;
a spirit of patient waiting upon tiie wiil
of God, of child-like trust.
It is the heart at which God looks.
And every condition of life, whether of
wealth or poverty, puts this to the test
and reveals character.
The scene on the other side of death
is a study from which the earnest and
thoughtful will not shrink. It is a vivid
and appalling picture; but just such an
one as we need, it is in no respect too
alarming. There are those who*e ruin
ous security Is not broken up even by
such disclosure of the consequences of
worldly and self-indulgent living.
The word "remember" is an emphatic
one in the story. Reflection is a chief
source of the rich man's misery. "It is
not suggested that this torment came
from any external source; least of all,
that God inflicted torture ujKin him as
one now brought under his jtower. * *
The key to the torment is within the
man, along with absence of all that he
had been wont to regard as of value."
(Calderwood.)
It is noticeable that the rich man, in
his conversation with Abraham, shows
no signs of repentance. Nor does he
ask to be taken out of the place of tor
ment. This would indicate tbat he per
ceives that his wretched condition is the
inevitable, fitting and necessary result
of bia earthly choice. The past cannot
be changed. The most he can think of
with hope ia for some slight mitigation
of his pains. "Whatsoever a man sow
eth, that shall he also reap."
A most impressive nnd practical truth
ia brought out in the closing verses of
the parable. The old Jew had Moses
and the prophets. These were sufficient
for his awakening and guidance. Much
more is the completed Bible enough for
us. There is a very common impression
that some other more convincing and
persuasive means would bring tho un
repenting to repentance. This ia a de
lusion, as we are here plainly taught.
The first effect of an appearance from
the dead would be to startle and terrify.
But there is nothing in astonishment
and terror that can change the heart.
Unbelief and worldly security would
soon reassert themselves.
PRACTICAL SIOGISTIONS.
1. In tbe study of such a lesson as
this it ia not wise to attempt to go be
yond tbat which is written. Ho much
is told us as for our profit we need to
know. Nothing is recorded for the
gratification of idle curiosty. Specula
lion can add nothing to our knowledge
of the hereafter. Its tewdency is to
divert from those practical applications
of truth which are all important. No
human tescbor can either add to, or
take from, the disclosures which our
Saviour has thought to be on the one
side nscessary, and on the siher r-Jlrient
for us.
2. Note tbe fresh evidence which
this parable affords of the mixture of
tender compassion with atriot justice in
all God's dealings with men. There is
nut u bitter or taunting word in what in
aikid to the rich man. Ho i* reminded
that the choice of an earthly portion
and unwillingness to repent, is the ex
planation of his misery. It is not Hod's
pleasure that any should perish.
.1. I>o not overlook the great fact
that wo are here and now shaping the
character which is to determine our
own future.
4. Fix it in mind that for our guid
ance unto salvation the Bible is all-
Nutllcient. Men perish because they are
unwilling to heed and obey the truth
which fiod hits made plain. Were
greater light needtul, could it have
been helpful, it would not have been
withholden. All attempts to supplant
or supplement divine revelation are as
wicked as they are vain. It is enough
to know that there are two states in
the invisible realm, one of which is un
speakably dreadful, as tho Other is to tie
desired. We have a sure guide in our
prayer and effort to escape the one and
gain the other. For our use of that we
are responsible. I'pon our faithful use
of it how much depends.
TIIKKK are about a score of papers
in this country that are published and
conducted by colored men, most of
them at the South. It is worth re
marking that men like Messrs. Dawes
aud Hoar never find occasion to make
quotations from any of them in sup
port of their statements that the ne
groes arc oppressed and maltreated
by the Southern writes. The Dallas
(Texas) Baptist Journal, edited by col
ored men, and which being a religious
pajHT, may la; presumed to try to tell
the truth, testifies as follows :
"Of the South it may be truly said
that old things have passed away and
all is becoming new. The old dispen
sation, of which slavery was a part, end
ed with tho war. The old Northern
Slates bad many years liefore volunta
rily thrown off the incubus of slavery.
As emancipation was forced upon the
people of the South they very naturally
opposed it, and they honestly believed
it was to their interest to do so. Hut
sixteen years of experience has con
vinced all classes that slavery was a
curse to tho South and that emancipa
tion was both wise and safe. The bet
ter class of the Southern white*—and
they are the majority—are kind, honor
able, just and noble. This we know to
be true, from a residence of fourteen
years among them. Hence, after being
fully convinced both of the justice and
safety ot .emancipation, they are cheer
fully accepting the situation and con
forming to the new order of things.
Though they may not yet approve of
the modes of reconstruction, they ac
quiesce in its results. Evidences of con
tentment with the order of things are
everywhere apparent. Manual labor,
formerly regarded as dishonorable, i*
now properly respected and practiced
by ail classes. Towns aud cities are be
ing founded, railroads constructed, fac
tones built and operated, mines worked,
and thousands of acres of land culti
vated, by while men. The education
of the masses is keeping pace with tho
other improvements, and the South is
becoming dotted ail over with public
schools. The relations between the
white and colored race* are becom
ing more confidential and hurmoniou*.
Much of the rapid progress which tho
colored people have made is due to tiff*
encouragement and assistance of their
white fellow citizens. The whites pay
taxes for the sup|>ort of our public
schools, assist in the erection and sup
j>ort of our private school* and colleges,
sell us lands on easy terms, and aid us
in many other ways. The exodus from
the South still continues, but tho emi
grants are acting from the same mo
tives in the main which cause white
people to move from one State to an
other, and that is to better their con
dition."
The Huntsville (Ala.) Hernld, also
conducted by colored men, and "de
voted to the elevation of the colored
people," says:
" F.very day the colored people are
throwing off the yoke of Kadicaiim and
assuming an independence of thought
and action. Wherever we find inlelli
gent, honest thinking colored men they
are open in defence of the South. We
have not just taken this stand, but did
it when it tried one's soul to be any
anything but a tire eating Republican,
and now it givea us unbounded gratifi
cation to see new recruits under the
banner around which we rallied in the
thickest of the fray, and when it re
quired an iron nerve to withstand the
utilise and all manner of denunciation
from the ignorant masses, led on by
men who respected neither the laws of
(iod nor man. And when the dark
minds of Hie masses become illuminat
ed by the resplendent rys of the sun
of knowledge and elevated manhood,
then will our labors be appreciated.
And the only reward that we ask is the
approval of our conscience that we were
never lacking in true love for our race
and devotion to our country."
A Great French Railway Scheme.
From (ht Hw York
The French contemplate building a
railroad across the Desert of Sahara.
Three years ago they employed Depou
chel, the celebrated engineer, to study
the ground. He waa followed by an
exploring party, many of whom were
killed off. There is a population of
50,000.000 black jieople in the country.
Sixty thousand while people added to
them, it is alleged, would turn tbem
into a civilised ma*s. The width of the
desert is about 1,200 miles. Instead of
having been the tied of the sea, Sahara
is like any other part of the world's
surface, except tbat the water in the
beds of the streams has evaporated. It
contains beds of sail, but no sea-shells.
The Sahara mountains run up to peaks
as high as 10,000 feet. It is easier to
build a railroad in the African Desert
than across the Americsn Desert. To
build a railroad from the frontier of
Algiers, as is proposed, to the Niga
river, will be 1,200 miles. For <IOO miles
it will run through desolation. The
road will cost **0,000,000. One of the
principal elements of traffic would be
grass or hay. Another would be salt,
and there is considerable sugar, coffee,
tobacco, ivory, ostrich feathers and gold
dust.
I'EKIEOIN REACTION.
friuii t)i>' Now Vurk Turn*.
During tho administration of Mr.
Huyes, ono depurtiucut, ami one only,
at Washington was conducted in ac
cordance witli the )iriutrilaid
down liy the President with reference
to the civil service. In the interior
department the "public business wan
transacted," so fur as the selection of
employes was concerned "in a business
manner." A "reform", thorough, radi
cal and complete, such as Mr. Hayes
fee I a red to be necessary in the entire
Service was there undertaken and fair
ly carried out. Competitive examina
tions, of an intelligent and practical
kind, were employed to test the prima
facie fit new) of the applicants for ap
pointment. The appointees thus se
cured were subject to a further and
more searching test of probation, and
where satisfactory results were obtain
ed, were finally installed in their re
spective positions. Promotions were
made by a like process. In all grades
of the service a principle was applied
perfectly familiar to every business
man. The best jiersons for any given
work were choseu from those available,
by uiethisls the most practicable and
effective that could be devised. The
consequence was precisely what it is in
private life. Fitness being the best
claim to appointment, the applicants
were of a constantly higher grade of
fitness. Fidelity, honesty and compe
tence being the chief requisites to suc
cess in the service, employes devoted
their energies to excellence in these
qualities. Discipline and order were
easily enforced ; intrigue was lessened,
if not banished ; outside interference
was substantially abolished, and the
work of the various offices was |>er
formed steadily, carefully, systematic
ally and with efficiency.
It is noteworthy that this result was
due to the zeal and good sense of the
then secretary of the interior, and
though it was welcomed and approved
and siipjiortcd bv the President, it was
not required or obtained by him. In
other departments a very different
state of tilings was found. The treas
ury department was largely managed,
to all intents and purjiose*, corruptly,
to further the political ambition of the
secretary. The postoflice department,
where the old evils of political in
fluence, the interference of Congro**-
men and Senators, the debasing traffic
in votes ami expenditures, had full
swing, developed the amazing and
humiliating star route scandals which
are now being exiioecd. The chief
executive, in w hose hands the constitu
tion places the great body of appoint
ments, and who could at any moment
have dismissed a cabinet officer who
refused or neglected to carry out his
views, in effect nlxlicnted his office for
the benefit of men, who, whether sel
fishly ami in violation of public inter
est or not, shapes] appointments with
little reference to the principles that
had been distinctly announced by their
superior. There was sound adminis
tration in one department only becaase
the head of that department was more
loyal to the President's professions
than the President himself.
Mr. (iarfield. entering on his work
with a professedly less elevated stand
ard, bids fair to fall even further lie
low that standard that Mr. Haves
did below bis. The one department
which under Mr. Haves was distin
guished for its thorough application of
the principles of sound administration
has la-en turned over to the politicians.
The new secretary of the interior seems
to have re-established the most vicious,
wasteful, and demoralizing method* of
the old system. He has abandoned
the comjH-titive examinations, and the
examinations which he has so ostensi
bly substituted for them are in fact
farcical. New and incompetent men
are put in over the heads of men of
tried and proved capacity, often at
higher salaries. The mainspring of
of discipline and efficiency—namely,
the certainty that merit and merit
only would secure advancement is
broken. The best men among the
subordinates are. naturally disgusted
and dicournged. Gradually, if this
state of things IK: continued, we shall
see the old evils creeping in. The
hacking of Congressmen and Senators
will take the place of good and honest
work as a claim to consideration.
Public business will lie neglected for
the cultivation of political influence.
Favoritism in fact and the confidence
in favoritism rather than in fidelitv,
will be the rule. Extensive and deli*
catc affairs, requiring training, integri
ty, and impartiality, will fall info the
hands of more or less ignorant men
whose reliance is on the intriguers,
and not on the upright performance
of difficult work. The miserable squab
bles of place-hunters will occupy the
time and energy of the department to
the exclusion and injury of the public
business.
How this change will affect the
public mind it is not difficult to fore
see. Mr. Garfield owes his election to
the confidence felt in him by a class in
the community who will be shocked
and indignant at such a result of their
support of him. The parceling out of
a few hundred places among the clam
orous office-hunters of the capital will
never earn for the party of wnich Mr.
Garfield is the chief strength sufficient
to compensate for the loss of the sym
pathy and approval of this class. We
should like to appeal to a higher mo
tive in the President's mind for the
rebuke and reform of this conspicuous
abuse, hut there ia little in his course
to encourage such an appeal. The
Republican party bos a right, how
ever, to ask him whether ordinary
political sagacity does not condemn a
policy that disappoints and alienates
the very element whose support was
absolutely necessary to his and its
success in the late election.
UEXKKAE JOSEPH EASE.
A MAN or MAUK IN A |-AT GENERATION.
Wrvtti the New York Tlinea.
The brief dispatch announcing the
death of Joseph Lane, which came
from Oregon a duy or two since, can
have had but very little significance
for the great majority of the people
who read it. Yet the man to whotn
it related was at one time one of the
foremost figures in the republic. Had
he died thirty years ago, the nation
would have gone in mourning for him,
yet so fleeting is fame in our country
that the present generation scarcely
retails his name ami knows next to
nothing of his most eventful history-
Joseph Lane's grandfather was an
American, born near the present site
of Raleigh, N. in the early colonial
times. Ho and his two brothers did
good services during the war of the
Revolution. His son, John Lane, the
father of Joseph, was at the battle of
King's Mountain ami served in the
patriot army until the surrender of
Cornwallis at Yorktown. , Ho voted
for George Washington for President
and lived to six- Jackson in the i-umc
office. The son of this old soldier was
born in North Carolina in 1801. Early
in life he went to Indiana. latter he
became a power in the politics of the
West. When the Mexican war broke
out he was one of the first to go to the
front and by hard fighting ami distill
; guished bravery won his way to a
i major generalship. Returning to his
i home, all Indiana united in doing him
j honor, and luter on President Polk, in
! -light recognition of his services, made
I him Governor of the Territory of
< )regon, to which place he was reap
iviinted bv President Pierce. In 18.V2
jhe hail thirteen vote* in the national
convention which nominated Cass for
! I'ro-ident, and at one time during that
: memorable meeting seemed almost
: -ure of the nomination. As old Wil
i liam Allen u*ed in after years to re
late, "Joe Unsie came nearer being
j President than any man who ever
i missed." Rut though he missed the
presidency, he did not lose influence
with his party. In 18ofl he was elect
ed to the United State* Senate from
the new Slate of Oregon. He sympa-
I thized with the South in the struggle
then pending, and later wa* nominated
tor Vict: President on the ticket with
Rrcckinridge. Jl'" carried eh ven of
the slave State*, hut wa* buried out of
sight in the fret: North. Little ha*
been heard of him since. He spent
the last years of hi* life in his favorite
Oregon. Some months ago, to a par
ty of excursionist* who called on him
for n speech, he said : "I come not as
a celebrated man or a distinguished
soldier, but as a humble citizen of
Oregon. Onlv once during my term
of office did I have occasion to visit
this portion of the Territory. It was
on the first of July, now almo-t thirty
years ago, that a courier arrived at
< fregon ( ity, bearing the news that a
Mr. Wallace, living on Rudd's Inlet,
where Olympia is now situated, had
l**en murdered hy the Indians. With
an army of six men, tried and true
I comrades in arms with me in the con
flict with Mexico, we proceeded down
the Willamette, river in a canoe to the
Columbia, down the. Columbia, and
thence up the Cowiltz to the Catholic
mission. Here we procured mules
and horses and added three fresh re
cruits to our force. We took the In
dians hy surprise, and demanded a
surrender of the murderers. The old
chief after viewing our forces and
looking me in the eye, concluded to
accede to this demand, and the mur
derer* were accordingly delivered up,
tried and executed. Thi* made good
Indians of them." During the same
s|>eeoh (ten. I.anc, referring to his
service during the Mexican war, said :
"Two year* ago I looked over the old
army register, ami I found there only
five of the seventeen American gene
rals who entered the Mexican war sur
viving. Of the seventeen who entered
the strugglo, fourteen were younger
than myself. One hy one these brave
men have answered to the lat roll
call. Since I last looked over the
register, Pillow ha* lieon railed away,
Cadwalader and Cushing followed, and
on the first of the present month
.Shields answered the summons and
passed over the dark river, across the
valley and shadow of death. During j
the last few years the roll has been
called onee in six months and one
one these gallent men have responded."
Joseph has now been called and
he too has responded to the summons.

A Woman's Whim-.
The Empress Josephine had 600,-
000 franca for her personal expenses;
but thi* sum wa* not sufficient, and
her debt* increased to an appalling
degree. Notwithstanding the riches
of her husbaud, she could not submit
to order or etiquette in her private
life. Hhe rose at 9 o'clock. lier toi
let consumed much time, aud she lav
ished unwearied efforts on the preser
vation and emliellishmeut of her per
son. She changes! her linen three
time* a day, and never wore any stock
ing* that were not new. Huge bask
et* were brought to her containing
different dresses, shawls and hat*.
Froin these she selected her costume
for the day. She possessed between
three and four hundred shawls, and
nlwavs wore one in the morning, which
she tirapod about her shoulders with
uncqualed grace. Hhe purchased all
that were brought to her, no matter
at what price. The evening toilet
wa* a* careful a* that of the morning
—then she ap|>carcd with flowers,
jiearl* or nreciou* stones in her hair.
The smallest assembly was always an
occasion for her to order a new cos
tume, in spite of the hoards of dresses
in the various palaces. Ronapart
was irritated by these expenditures;
he would fly into a passion, and his
wife would weep ami promise to lie
more prudent, after which she would
go on in the same way. It is almost
increditabie that this passion for dress
should never have exhausted itself.
After the divorce she arrayed herself
with the same care, even when she
saw no one. Hhe died, however, cov
ered with ribbons and pale rose-color
od satin.
