Dr. Talinage has returned from his "Vcstern tour reinvigor ated in health, and cheered by the hearty and enthusiastic greetings he has receh ed in the numerous cities he has i isited. Thou sands of persons who have read his sermons in their local newspapers have struggled to get within sound of his Toice wherever he has spoken. His sermon this week is on the very common and foolWh habit of "Bor rowing Trouble," and his text is Mathew vi., 34: "Sufficient unto the day is the eil thereof " The life of every man, woman and child is ns closely under the divine care as though such person were the only man, woman or child. There are no accideuts As there is a. law of storms in the natural orld so there is a hvw of trouble, a law of disaster, a law of misfortune: but themajority of the troubles Of life are Imaginary, and the most of thoe anticipated never come. At any rate, there is no cause of complaint against God. See how much He hath done to make thee happj ; His sunshine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and halo for the mountain, srrcenness for the mon Saffron for the cloud, and crystal for the bil low, and procession of bannered fame through the opening gate? of the morning, chaffinches to sm,j, rivers to glitter, seas to chant, and springs to blosoin. and oer powenng all other sounds ltli its -ong, and overarching all other splendor with Us triumph, covering up all other beauty with its f,arUnds and outfiahliig all other thrones ti ith its dominion deliverance lor a lost world through the Great Be deemoi . 1 discourse of the sin of borrowing trouble. DE5T0DEXCV TJNMTfc FOR DUTY; , First Such a habit of mind and heart is wrong, because it puts one into a despon dency that ill fits him for duty. I planted two ro-e bushes iu mj gaiden; the one turned beautif ullj , the other perished. I found the dead one on the shady aide of the hoa-c Our depositions, like our pi rats, need sunshine. Expectancy ot repulse is tho cause of many secular and religious failures. IVai of bankruptcy has uptorn many a flno 0uine5 and sent the man dodging among the iiote-ha er Fear of alander and abuse has otten in itd all the long-beaked vultures- ot -"Com and back-biting. Many of the misiortuns of life, like hyenas, flee If you courigco.i$l meet them. How pooriy prepared for religious duty is a man i ho sits dos n under the gloom of ex pected misfortune! If he pray, he says, "I do not think 1 shall be answered." If he ghe, he savs, "I expect they w ill steal the money." lielen Chalmers told me that her father, Thomas Chalmers, in the darkest hour of the history of the Free Church of Ecotland, and when the woes of the land teemed to weigh upon his heart, said to the children, "Come, let us go out and play ball or fly kito,'' and the only difficulty in the play w a1 that the children could not keep up with their father. Ihe JTChejnes and the Summerflelda of the church who did the most good, cultivated sunlight Away with the horrors! they distill poison: they dig gra es; and if they could climb so high, they would drown the rejoicings of heaven with gobs and w ailing. MISFORTUNES TOK THE GLOOMY. You will have nothing but misfortune in the future if you sedulously watohforlt. How shall a man catefc the right kind of flsh If be arranges his l'ne, and hook, and bait to catch lizards and water-serpents? Hunt for bats and haws, and bats and hawks you will find. Hunt for robin-redbreasts, and you will find robin-redbreasts. One night an each? and an owl cot into fierce battle: the eagle unused to the night was no match for an owl, whicn Is most at home in the dark ness, and the king of the airfcllbelpless: but the morning rose, and with It rose the eagle; and the owls, and the night-hawks, and the bats came a second time to ihe combat: now the eagle, in the sunlight, with a stroke of his talons and a great cry, cleared the air, and his enemies, with torn feathers and bplashed with blood, tumbled Into the thickets. Ye are the children of light. In the night of despondency you will have no chance against your enemies that flock up from beneath, but, trusting in God and standing in the sunshine of the promises, j ou shall "renew jour youth like the eagle." Again: The habit of borrow ing trouble is wrong, because It has a tendency to make us overlook present blessing. To slake man's thirst, the rock is cleft, and cool waters leap Into his brimming cup. To feed his hunger, the fields bow down with bending wheat, and the cattle come down with full udders from the clover pastures to give him milk, and the orchards yellow and ripen, casting their juicy fruits into his lap. Alas! that amid such exuberance of blessing, man should growl as though he were a soldier on half rations, or a tailor on short allowance; that a man should stand neck deep in harvests lookiug forward to famine; that one should feel the stiong pulses of health marching with regular tread through all tho avenues of life, and yet tremble at the ex pected assault of sickness; that a man should Fit in his pleasant home, fearful that ruthless want will some day rattle the broken window sash wltli tempest, and sweep the coals from the hearth, and pour hunger into the bread tray; that a m-n fed by Him who owns all the harvests should expect to starve; that one whom God loves and surrounds with benediction, and attends with angelic escort, and hot eis over with more than motherly fondness, should be looking for a heritage of tears! Has God been hard with thee, that thou Ehouldst be rorebodingt Has He stinted thy board? Has He covered thee with rags? Has He spread traps for thy feet, and galled thy cup, and rasped thy soul, and wrecked thee with storm, and thundered upon thee w ith life full of calamity? If j our father or brother come into your bank where gold and silver are lying about, you do not watch . them, for you know they are honest; but if an entire stranger come by tho safe, you keep your cj e on him, lor you do not know his deMgns. So some men treat God; not as a fathei, but a stranger, and act suspiciously toward Him, as though they were afraid Ho w ould steal something. SOUB-HEAETED CIHUSTIAXS. It is high time 3 ou began to thank God for present blessing. Thank Uim for jour chil dren, happy, buoyant and bounding.; Praise Him for your home, with its fountain of song and laughter Adore Him for morning light and evening shadow. Praise Him for fresh, cool w ater, bubbling from the rock, leaping 111 the cascade, soaring iu the mist, falling 111 the shower dashing against the rock and clapiiing its hands in the tempest. Lo'veHlm foi the grass that cushions the earth, and the clouds that curtain the skv, and the foli age that wa cs in the forest. Thank Him lor J. r.iu'.e to 1 cad, and a ci oss to gaze upon, and a Savior to deliver. Many Chustiins think it a bad sign to be Jubilant, and their n ork of elf-cxamiuation i a hewing down or their brighter experiences-. Like a boy w ith a new Jack-knife, hacking everything be comes across, so their sclf-examiiiation Is a religious cutting to piece of the greenest things they can lay their hands on. They imagine tbey are doing Gods service -when they are going ibout borrowing trouble, and borrowlnglt at 30 per cent, which is always a sure precursor of bankruptcy Again: The habit of borrowing trouble is wrong, because the present is sufficiently taxed with trial God sees that e all need a certain amount of trouble, and solle ap portions it for all the days and ears of our jiie. Alas for the policy of gathering it all up for one day or year! Cruel thing to put UKn the uack of one camel all the cargo in- ienuuior ine enure caravan, inner iook at my memorandum book to eo w hat en gagement" and duties arc lui ahead. Let every eck bear its ow n burdeus. The shadows of to day are thick enough, why implore the prc-ence of other shadows; Tho cup is alread distastclul, wh halloo to duanters lar distant to come, and wring out mure gall into the bitterness? Are we such champions that, having won the belt in formor encounters, we can go forth to chal lenge all the future? BUfalKKSS MEN'S FRETFUL FEAKS. Here are business men Just able to manage nlfalrs a they now are. They tan pay their rent, and meet their notes, and manage affairs, es they now are, but -r hat if there should could come a panic Go to-morrow and write on jour day-book, on j our ledger, on your inunej-bafe, "Sufficient unto the day is the -evil thereof" Do not worry about notes that are far from due. Do not pile up on your counting-desk the financial anxie ties of the next -JO jcars. Thf. God Mho has takes care of jour woildly occupation, guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of tho burglar, will bo as faithfuf in 1691 as in 1831. God's hand is mightier than the machinations or stock gamblers, or the plots of political dema gogues, or the red right arm of revolution. and the darkness will fly and tho storm fall dead at his feet. So there are ncrsons in fee Die health, and the are womrd about tho future. They make out oij well now, but thev are both ering thcmel ei about luture "pleurisies and lheumatisms, und neuralgias, and fevers. Their eyesight is fecbloT and they are worried unless thev dntlrely lose it. Their hearing is Indistinct, and they are alarmed lest they become entirely deaf. They felt chilly to-day, and are evpoctingan attack of typhoid. They have been troubled for weeks with some perplexing maladt, an dread becoming life-long Inva lid. Take care of j our health now, and trust God for the future. lie not stuilty of tho blasphoniy of asking Him to take care of ou while jou sleep with your windows tight down, or eat chicken salad at 11 o'clock at night, or it down ou a cake of ic o to cool off. I!c prudent and then be confi dent. Some of tno sickest people have been tho most useful. It was so with Payson, w ho died deaths daily, and Robert Hall, who used to stop in tho midst of his sermon, and lie down an the uulpit sofa to rest and then go on again. Theodore Frelinghuj sen had a great horror of dying till the time oame, and then went peacefully. Take care of the present, and let tho future look out for itself. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof "' T ALWAYS SMOOTH SAILING. Again: Tho habit of borrowing misfortune is wrong, because it unfits us for it when it actually does come. We cannot always have smooth sailing. Life's path will somotimes tumble among declivities and mount a steep, and bo thorn-pierced. Judns w ill kiss our cheek, aud then sell us for thirty pieces of silver. Human scorn will try to crucify us between two thieves. We will hear the iron gate of the sepulchre oreakand grind as it shuts in our kindred. But we cannot get readj for these things by forebodings. Finally; the habit of borrowing trouble Is wrong, because it is unbelief. God has prom isee. 10 iaKe care 01 us. iiie tnuie oiooms with assurances. Your hunger will be fed; your sickness will bo alleviated; your sor rows will be healed. God will sandal your feet, and smooth your path, and along by frowning orag and opening grave sound the voices of victorj- and good cheer. The sum mer clouds that seem thunder-charged really catrj in their bosom harvests of wheat, aud shocks of corn, and vine aids purpling for the w meprcss. The wrathful wa e will kiss the feet of the great storm-walker. Our great Joshua will command, and above our soul the sun of prosperity will stand still. Bleak and wavestruck Patmos shall have apocalyptic vision, and you shall hear the cry of the elders and the sweep of w ings, and trumpets of salvation, and the voice of.hallclujah unto God forever. TRIUMPH rOR THE JOYOUS. Let pleasure chant her siren song, 'Tis not the song for me; To weeping it w ill tuin e'er long, For this is htav en's decree. But there's a song the ransomed sing To Jesus, then exalted King, With joyful heart and tongue, Oh, that's the song tor me! Cdurage, my brother! The father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him several vears, but, as the bills for tuition- and board, and clothing and books come in, pays them So God will not gio you grace all at once for the tuture, but will meet all your exigencies ns they come. Through earnest prayer, trust Him. Put everything m God's hand, and leave it theic. Large interest money to pa will soon eat a farm, a store, an estate, and the interest on borrowed troubles will swamp anybody. "Sufficient unto the day isthe eil thereof." LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Market Glutted With Fruit and Vege tables, and Prices LOWER THAN FOR MAKY SEASONS. Green Hides and Calfskins Are Weak Here and Everywhere. A BOSTON HEW OF HIDES AND LEATHER Office of PiTTSBcr-G DisrATCH, Saturday, August 15. t Tho features of tho week In produce lines have been the excessive receipts of farm and garden pioducts with a consequent downward tendency of prices, and a strong upward movement of cholco dairy products, especially creamer- butter. It Is a raro thing that good creamery butter is as scarce an article in this market as it Is at tho pres ent time. Prices have advanced 2 to 8c per S in the past week and markets are firm at the advance. While cheese has not ad vanced, it is reported very firm at quota tions, and any future changes are almost certain to bo toward a higher level. Fruits and i cgetables have been a drug for the week past and prices are daily deolining. Peaches are in supply far beyond the ca pacity of our markets to absorb, and, ex cept for tho v ery choicest, prices have been nominal for several da8 past. On Thurs day of this week there were not less than ten carloads of peaches on sale at tho pro duce commission houses of the city, and over npe stock was sold at what It would bring. The heavy receipts of peaches have had a disastrous effect on the banana trade. Bananas were sold on track at 40c to 60c a bunch the past few days and were dull and slow at these prices. Large quantities were sold at prices which would not more than half pay freight bill6. Dealers In trop ical fruits report that trade is no good of late, owing to large receipts and low prices of domestic fruits and melons. In vegetable lines we have to report the same situation as in fruit lines. Markets are glutted with tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, and in fact, all kinds of garden stuff, and prices are lower than they have been for years. Gardeners complain that stuff Is so plentiful that it yields little for the work expended. What Is the producer's loss is the consumer's gain. There has been no time in the past decade, if ever, when the consumer could obtain so much for his money in fruit and vegetables lines as ho can right now. Hides and Calfskins. Tho hide situation has not Improved any in the week past. Buff hides are very dull all oyer the country. AVe do not change our quotations, bnt markets are weak and slow at prices quoted. Calfskins and heavy steer hides are not so w eak as light hides, but are by no means strong at our quotations. "Following are prices paid by Allegheny tanners for stock delivered here: Ko. 1 grcn silted steers. 60 lbs and over 7H -o. 1 gre"u saueucows, an weijnis a So. 1 grc en &.ilted hides, 4nto601bs 5 Xo 1 green salted hides. 25 to 40 lbs 5 No. 1 salted bulls 4' Xo. 1 silted calfskins 6 Xo. 1 green .<ed veal kips No. I green salted runner kiDS Xo. 1 green steers, 60 lbs and over No. 1 green cows, all eight Xo. 1 Kret n bulls Xo. lgroin bide j, 40 to 60 lbs X'o. lgrccu hides, 25t401bs Xo. 1 grem cUf-Miis Xo. 1 green leal kips, perpiece. 5 4 7 44 44 4X 6 90 -o. 1 preen runner Kips..... 7a Sheepskins 15cJl 50 Tallow, prime 5 Harness Leather.

The Shoe Trade. The following trade rates from the Boston Herald give the situation at the hide and leather center: ' Boot and shoe manufacturers are push ing along in a ery careful and conservative manner. Money Is still very tight, and with some of the poorer concerns it is a question of holding out till better collections, which are sure to come in the fall. Indeed It has resolved itself into this position: If a house has got the backbone to hold on till the be ginning of October, or till some returns from the crops have reached the jobbers in the West, South and Southwest, there is little danger from the future. The coun try is poor, and will be poor till some returns from the magnificent crops oi ims year are realized, and then will be the dawning of better things. Collections on boots and shoes are hard at the present time, and well they may be, from the condition of the South and Southwest. But matters are rapidly draw ing toward the brightening. The situation has been rendered particularly aggravating fiomthe fact that banks in this part of the country have lately been discriminating ngainst boot and shoe paper to the extent I that they have. The banks have explained, ui iiicuiijii;u ij suutv, uiuii tuay iiuve ueen able to loan all of theirmoncy on collaterals, aud hence they have had no monev to loan on boot and shoe paper. But this situation ot atlairs is cnangmg, and probably about the time the banks find that they have money to lend on boot and shoe paper, col lections will have been sufficient to give manufacturers more of the money they want. "So far as trado is concerned, the feeling is better, with more actual business In sight. So far as the situation is concerned, the out look is very good indeed." The Hide Market Is More Quiet Than Ever, t if such a thing is possible. There is abso- lutelj very little business in domestic hides, the tanners being determined not to put In hides till the leather market is better, as al ready mentioned above. The market on Western green salted hides is very quiet. Prominent dealers offer buff hides at 5c from medium fieight points, but the tanners tell them that they are offered buff hides lrom near freight points at 6c. These offers at 5Jc come from the very dealers ho were so confident of a stronger market a couple of weeks ago, but tor the bearish feeling of the first mentioned dealers. But the tanners do not even take these low freight point buff hides at 5e, but bid 5Jfc. They do not get the hides.how over, for those offering cannot vet get permission to sell for less than 5c. Seconds and Bs are in pre cisely the same position as buffs. From poiuts w hero brokers can offer them at 5Jo the tanners bid5c, and lrom higher freignt points where they are offered at 5c the tanners bid 5c. There Is very little doing at anv price. Foreigh hides continue quiet, with nothing doing in Montevideo and Buenos Ayre3 hides. The market is unchanged on this clas of hides, with the quotation at 13J4 13c. Sales are noted of 9,500 winter-haired Cordova hides at 14c, and of 1,148 summer haired Cordovas at llc. HOME SECUBITIES. Business Not at All Bad for the Dullest Month in the Tear. The volume of speculative trading last week w as fair for the season, sales on call footing up 1,970 shares against 761thepre v ious week. There were no changes in con ditions to matenally affect values for better or worse, but the tone of the market was stionger. This was not reflected in the fig ures, but proof It wns found In a broader demand in a greater number of orders, and In the sharper appetites of buyers. Final prices as compared with those of the previous Saturday show the following changes- Philadelphia Gas improved i. Wheeling. Gas , Luster . Central Trac tion lost , Citizens' Traction 1, Pleasant Valley , Switch and Signal 1, Airbrake 1. There was some appreciation in the bank stocks, while insurance btocks about held their ow n.

Less than six months ago this spot was just visible in the tail of "Wildwood's rapidly disappearing comet, and could only be seen with a powerful glass through the noonday rays of McCurdy's sun. To-day the Wildwood meteor has been lost In space, and McCurdy's orb has almost reached the horizon on the descendant, while it is be lieved that thb full brilliancy of McDonald Is yet to come. The output in that field to-day wiU bo over 10,000 barrels, and unless men who could not be considered otherwise than the best Judges are mistaken, it will not be long before this is Increased to 25,000 barrels a day. It Is a record wlthfew parallels. Whenthehlstory of Pennsylvania's wonderful oil-producing pools is eventually written, the word Mc Donald will be the keystone of the names around which the Interesting volume will be constructed. A Forest of OH Derricks. On an area of only 70 acres there are now being drilled, at the lowest possible estima tion, 100 wells. These are located in the heart or the little city, and within halfamlleor tho railroad station. Since Oil Creek, no spot has been do eloped where so many derricks were built on such a limited tract of terri tory. The reason for this is that the property is cut up into town lots, and on every avail able foot of ground some enterprising opera tor has built a rig. It is possible in many In stances to leap from one rig into another. Few of the adjoining rigs are owned by the same party, consequently every operator is anxious to get In well into the sand first and drain as much oil from his neighbor's rock as possible. It Is a case of dog eat dog, and In some cases tho tragedy illustrative of the Kilkenny cats w ill be re-enacted. Somebody will get left, but tho hopo that springs eternal buoys up each plucky operator in the belief that he w ill not be numbered with the unfortunates. The Work at the WeUs. Drilling was suspended yesterday and there have been no developments since Sat urday. The Royal Gas Company's Jumbo well on the slaughterhouse property, which started ofl at the rate of 150 barrels an hour Saturday evening, filled the tanks ana was then shut In to wait for pipe line connec tions.

There will be a number of wells which should get the fifth sand the latter part of this week and many interesting developments are ex pected. J. B.

STOCKS MORE ACTIVE THAN EVER, WITH MATERIAL GAINS. London and the West Large Buyers, Es pecially In Union Pacific and the Grangers Tho Bank Statement, Also, Helps the Share Market Along. New York, Aug. 15. The stock market to day was more active than of late, and the tone was more active for some time, re sulting in material gains over the entire active list and sharp advances in a few of the leading shares. The bulls were more courageous and aggressive than for many weeks, and the Western operators, as well as London, were buyers of their fai orites the former being especially courageous in .which are now receiving tneir due attention irom an classes oi operators. The market opened with small fractional gains over last night's figures, extending to per cent, and while there was some hesi tation on sellingof some short stock in Union Pacific; the tone was soon recovered and an upward movement was inaugurated which, with but slight interruption, lasted throughout the session. Missouri Pacific early took the lead In the advance, but later tho Grangers and Union Pacific came to tho front again, and specially sharp gains were made in the last half hour. The Lank statement, when issued, showed onI a slight loss in reserves and cash held, while deposits were increased materially. The effect of the demands to mot e the crops w ere not so apparent as expected, and there w as a rush to buy on the strength of the statement, which moved up all the leaders with more animation, and Union Pacific spe cially scored a handsome gain. The upward movement also extended to a large num ber of specialties and the market broadened ont.materiaHy, in some instances showing advances of over 2 per cent. The market finally closed active and strong at the highest pnees of the day. The trading ex tended to 123 347 listed. Railroad bonds were specially active to day, the business done reaching 607,000 for the two hours, well distributed throughout the list. Almost everything Is higher, though the general advances are for frac tional amounts. The following table shows the prices of active stocks on the hew York Mock Exchange yesterday.
