t r- . 't -"'- THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 1892. -7 A WOULD OF ECHOES. Natural, Moral and Spiritual Sounds ire Always Repeated. GOOD PARENTS. GOOD CHILDREN. Eight Example Has Its Effect on the onthfnl Imitators. A IJFE WELL SPENT TO BE EEWAEDED f FrETt tL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Bkooklys, Jan. 17. Dr. Talmagc's sub 1 ject was "Kchoes," and his text: Ezekiel Vii.. 7: "The sounding again of the moun tains.' Atlastlliare found it. Tho Bible has In Jt a recognition of all phases of the natural world from the aurora of the midnight heiven to the phoiphoresccnco of the tumbled sea. But the w ell-known sound tliat we call the echo, I found not until a few daj s hso 1 discovered it in my text: "The sounains again of the mountains." That it the Echo. I.zekicl of the text had heard it again and ajraiti. Born amonj mountains, and in his journej to distant exile ho bad passed omrai; mountains, and it was natural that all through his writings there should loom up the mountains. Greek mythology recognized the Echo as a nymph, the daughter of Earth and Air, following Narcissus through forests and into grottoes and every whither, and so strange and weird and startling is the echo I do not wonder that the superstitions have lifted It into the supernatural. You and I in boy hood or girlhood experimented with this iepoa-iveness of sound. Standing half waj between the house and barn, we shouted many a time to hear the reverbera tions. nin TTond-rful Kchoes in the AVorlcl. In 1766a writer says that near Milan, Italy there were TO reflections of sound to one t-napof apistol.

But he j ou noticed and this is the rea son foi the present discourse that this Echo In the natural woild has its analogy in tho moral and religious vrond? Fht Parental tpachingand examplehave thru Echo in the character of descendants. i xccntions Oh, yo. So in the natural w nrld there mav be no Echo, or a distorted Echo, by icason ot peculiar proximities, but the ceneral ruieli that the character of the children l the Echo oftho character of par. ont. The ceneral rule is that good parents have good children and bad parents have hid children. If the old man is a crank, hit son i- apt to tie a crank, and the grandchild a crank. The tendencvis so mighty in tliat direction that it will get worse and worse unit s some hero or heroine In that line shall ri- and say: "Here! By the help of God, I will -rand this no longer. Against this hereditary tendency to qucerness I protest." Typical Echoes of Good Parentage. In another family the father and mother r.ir consecrated people. What they do is light: what they teach is right. Tho boys irav some lortimebewildand the daughters w orldly, hut watch! Years pass on, perhaps ten vear, 20 years, and you to back to the church where the father and mother used to be consistent members. You have heard nothing about the family for 20 years, and at the door of th chuich you see the sexton, and vou ask him: "Where is old .Vr. Weo-sle-' oh: he has been dead many vears." "Where is Mrs. Webster?" "Oh! she died years aso." "I ssippoe thc'ir son Joe went to the dogs?" !.: no,' says the sexton. "He is up there 1n the ciders' seat. He is one of our best and most important members. You ought to hear him pray and sing. He i not Joe anv longer; he is Elder Webster." "Well, where is the daughter, Mary? I suipo'eshe is the same thoughtless tratter llv .-he used lo be?" OIi! no," says the sexton, "she is the Pre-.dent of our m'ssionary society and the directress in the orphan asylum, and when, che c"o down the street all the ragamuffins take hold of her dress and cry, 'Auntie, "when are you going to bring us some more looks .stid" shoes and things?' And, when in times of revival, thee is some hard case back in a church pew that no one else can touch, she goes where lie 1", and in one minute Mir lias him a-crying, and the first thing we know she is fetching the hardened man up to the front to be prayed for." Tonlh "Not an Lxact Criterion. The fact is that the son and daughter of that family did not promise much at the hlait. but they are now an Echo, a glorious Echo, a prolonacd Echo, of parental teach ing and example. But litre is a slip-shod home. The parents arc a godlrse pair. They let their children loasthe nlra-e. Xo example fit lo follow. No lesions ol mortality or religion. Sunday better than anv other day.

AH this is onlv the Echo, the dismal Echo, the an tul Echo, the dreadful Echo of par ental obliquity and unfaithfulness. The old folks heaped up a mountain of wrong influ ences Indeed our entire behavior in this world will hae a resound. While opportu nity flj inastraight line and just touch us onie and are cone never to return, the wiongs we practice upon others fly In a cir cle, and thev come back to the place from which they started. -o. al-.o. th" judgment day will be an Echo o! all our other days. The universe needs Michala, -or there are so manv things in the world that need to be fixed up and ex plained. At I the rootsteps in that prison corridor as thu Christian reformer walks to the wicket of the incarcerated, yea all the whispers or condolence in the ear of that poor soul dyiii in that garret, ate being caught up and rolled on until they dash against the judgment throne and then they will be struck back into the ears of these tons and daughters of mercy. Kternitr the Echo of Time. Eternity itself is only an Echo of time. Mind ou, the analogy warrants my saying tint. The Echo is not alwavsexnetl v- in tinrt like theiound originally projected. Lord ltalcigh ays that a woman s voice sounding Irom a grot c wa returned an octave hi"her A scientist plaj mg a flute In Fairfax county" V., found that all the notes were returned although seme of them came in raised pitch What wc do of good or bad mav not come back to us in just the proportion we expect it. but come back it will: it may be from a higher gladness than wc thought or from a deeper w oe. Our prayer or our plasphemy our kindness or our crueltv, our faith or our unbelief, our hol life or our dissolute be havior, will come back somehow. Suppose the boss of a factory or the head ot a commercial firm, some day comes out among nis clerks or employes and putting his thumbs in the annhoies ui8 Test sa with an airof (.waggerand jocosity; "Well' I don't believe in the Bible or the church" The one is an imposition and the other is lull of trypocriles. 1 declare I would not ti i,st ono of those very pious people further tlmn I could see him." That is all be savs.but he has said enough. Tl c young men go back to their counters or their shuttles, and &ay within themselves: "Well, he is a successful man and has prob ablyttndied up the wholo subject and is pi ouably rignt." Coming Hack an Octave Lower. That one lying utterance against bibles and churches has put five young men on the- J wrong track, and though tho influential man had spoken only in half jest, the "echo shall come back to him in five ruined life times, and five destroyed eternities. You sen the echos arc an octavo loner than he anticipated. On the other hand, some rainy day. when there are hardly any customers, the Chrisj tian merchant comes out from his counting room and stands among tho young men. who have nothing to do, and says: "Well, boys, this is a dull day, but it will clear off after a while.. There are a good many nps and downs in business, but there is an over ruling Providence. Years ago I made up my mind to trust God. and he has always seen me through. I remember when 1 was your age, I. had just come to town and tho "temptations of city life gathered around me, but I resisted. The fact is there were two old folks out on the old farm praying for me, and I knew it, and somehow I "could not do as some of the cleiks did or go where some of the clerks went. I tell yon, boys, it is best always to do right, and thore is nothing to keep one l Ight like the old-fashioned religion of Jesus Christ. John, where did you go to church last Sundaj? Henry, how is the Young Men's Christian Association prospering?" About noon the rain ceases and tho sun conies out and the clerks go to theirplaces, and they say within themselves: "Well, he is a successful merchant, and I guess he knows w hat he is talking about." Onr Present Lire to Bo Echoed. I take a step further in this subject, and say that our own eternity will be a reverber ation of oar own earthlv lifetime. What we are here we will be there, only on a largr scale. Dissolution will tear down the body and embank it, but onr faculties of mind and soul will go right on without tho hesitancy of a moment and without any change except enlargement and intensification. "Well, says someone, "this idea of moral, spiritual and eternal echo is new to me. Is there not some way of stooping this echo?" My answer is: "God can, and he only." If it is a cheerful echo, wo do not want it stopped; if a baleful echo, we would like to have it stopped. The hardest thing in this world to do is to stop an echo. And if it is so hard to destroy a natural echo, how much harder to stop a moral echo, a spiritual echo, an immortal echo. Once in heaven, God will so arrange the relative position of mansions and temples and thrones that one of the everlasting charms of heaven will be the rolling, bursting, as cending, descending, chanting echoes. All the songs we ever sang devoutly, all tho prayers we have ever uttered earnestly, all the Christian deeds we have ever done, will be awaiting to spring npon us in echo. The scientists tell us that In this world the roar of artillery and tho boom of the thunder are so loud, because thevare a combination of echoes all the hillsides, and the caverns and the walls furnishing a share of the lesonancc. Celestial Sounds of the Hereafter. And never will we understand the full power and music of an Echo until with supernatural faculties, able to enduro them we hear all the conjoined sonnds of heaven ly Echoes harps and trumpets, orchestras and orntorios, hesannahs and hallelujahs East side of heaven answering to the West side, Xortii side to South side, and all the heights, and all tho depths, and all tho im mensities, and all the eternities joining in Echo upon Echo, Echo in tho wake of Echo. In the future state, whetlipr of rapture or rnln, we will listen for reverberations of earthly thines and doings. Voltaire standing amid the "shadows will listen, and from the millions whose godless ness and libertinism nn debauchery were a consequence of his bri'llanf blasphemies will come hack a weeping, wailing, despair ing, agonizing, million-voiced Echo. Paul will, while "-landm? in the light, listen, and from all the circles of the ran somed, and from all the many mansions horn he helped to people, and from all the thrones he helped to ocenpants. and from all the gates he helped throng with arrivals, and from all the temples he helped fill w lth worshipers, there shall comeback toll' m a ulorious, evei-aecumulating transporting and triumphant Echo. Xnlses of Another Kind. Oh, what will tho tyrants and oppressors of the earth do with the Echoes. Those who are responsible for the wars of the world will have come back to them all the groans, the shrieks, the cannonades, the bursting shells, the crackle of burning cities, and the crash of a nation's homes. Composers of gospel hvmns and singers will listen for the return of Antioch and Brattle Street. Ariel and Dundee, Harwell and Woodstock, Mount Pisgah and Coronation, Homeward Bound and Shining Shore, and all tho melodies they ever started. Bishop Heber, and Charl03 Wesley, and Isaac Watts, and Thomas Hast ings, and Bradbury, and HoratiusBonar.and Frances Havorgal listen! But you know as well as I do that there are some places wheo the reverbatinns seem to meet, and standing there they rush npon you, they rain upon you, all at once they capture your car. And at the point where all heavenly reverbations meet Christ will stand, and listen for the resound of all his sighs, and groans, and sacrifices, and thev shall come hack in an echo In which shall minsle tho acclaim of a redeemed world, and the "Jubilate Do" of a fnll Heaven. Echo Mntlv, cherubic,arcnnngelic! Echo of thmnes! Echo of palaces ! Echo of temples! Omnipotent echo! Everlasting echo! Amen! DEIFIED PAE OUT TO SEA. Terrible Experience or a Hunter Who W.s Lost in the Fog. Xew York, Jan. 17. Imperial Samuel Anderson went out gunning in a small boat from the Atlantic Highlands early .Tuesday morning. He lost his bearings in the fog and drifted out to sea. In a brief interval o.f clear weather the next morning he vainly tried to descry land. He ha4 rowed all night long and was worn out The fog was impenetrable on "Wednesday, and Anderson simply lay in his boat and let the waves take him where they would. He shouted for help every now "and then. He would have fired his shotgun, but he hao acci dentally dropped it overboard the day be fore. He heard the muffled clanging' of a steamship's engines at 4 o'clock Thursday morning, when he was half dead irom thirst, hunger and exposure, and lie began shouting with all his reinaining strength. The steamship was the Elbe, of the Isorth German Lloyd line. She had been de tained nearly two days on account of the fog. and had sailed from Gravcsend Bay at midnight on AVednesdav. She loomed nn out of the leaden mist almost on top of the hunter. Captain Von Goessel had heard his snouts, tie was laKen aboard the Elbe and dosed with coffee and whisky, 7 , . . j .,7 , , . He fonnd tliat he had drifted nearly 40 miles to sea. He was transferred to pilot boat 14, which put him aboard a tug bound for Xer York. IKDIAHS OXITIHQ DANGEROUS. Osages and Pawnees Intoxicated by the Entrancing Ghost Jlance. Guthrie, O. T.. Jan. 17. ISpecidL' A courier comine in from the Cherokee Strip to-night reports that there will surely be serious trouble on the Osase and "Pawnee Keservations in the eastern part of the Strip. The Osage Indians have been Tery insolent lor a year past "White people traveling through the reservation have been surrounded by Indians, who would detain them for hours, dancing about them and go ing through the form of taking scalps. Within the past week the blanket Indians of this tribe have been holding a ghost dance, which grows larger and more vigor ous each day. The participants have be come worke'd upto such a pitch that it is not safe for a white man to venture near. They claim the Messiah has promised to come and lead them in a grand campaign against the white men. Across the river lrom the Osage Reservation the Pawnees are having a dance. Should any member of these two tribes come into contact while they are excited from dancing, an open and bloody war will surely follow. Cenler Connty Old People Gripped. Ecr-LKFOSTK, Jan. 17. SpeciaL The grip is proving very fatal throughout the county. It seems to make its attacks upon the aged people, of 'which more than 8 per cent of those over 70 years have died in the last three months. In some of the outlying country districts the doctors are hardly able to attend to the patients. Otny unci the McKeesport Hollaing. McKrnsroRT, Jan. 17. A'peeia. Sena- tor Quay leports to the postmaster here that early this week he will introduce a bill that $100,000 or 150,000 be appropriated; for the purpose of erecting a Federal building in this city. The Senator says he will get the hill through the Senate, and is also hopeful of getting it through the House. FEATURES OF TRADE. The Mid-Winter Week's Volume of Business Bather Light. SIGNS OP A REVIVAL APPEARING. Some Improvement Along- the Lines of Choice Dairy Products. INTERESTING NOTES ON FDOTWEAE , Office of Tnu Dispatch, ) riTTSBCKG, Saturday. January 16- 5 The week's trade in -produce, grocery and cereal lines has been characterized by excessive dullness. The weather during a greater part of the week has been adverse to a business revival. Mid-winter trade is seldom brisk and quietness is looked for through' tho month of January. This month, however, has rlroved quieter than usual. The darkest hour is Just before tho dawn, and in spite of the dullness which has. pre vailed since the holidays, the faith is strong and general with our tradespeople that a better day will soon dawn, and that wo ai o to have a prosperous year. Trices cannot well go lower, s in most lines of business thej arc now, and have been for weeks past, down to bed rock. As compared with this time last year, frnits and vegetables aro less than one-half the cost. In produce lines we' note an improved tone and stronger markets for fancy dairy products since last Saturday. There is a scarcity of fancy creamery, not only here, but at all trado centers. At Elein prices were advanced lc per pound at the Monday sales, and pros- Jiects are for another advance at tho next ilon day sales, tow grades or creamery and country butter of all kinds arc still dull and slow, with no signs of a revival. New York and Ohio cheese is firm, and has been for a week )iast. During tho week past eggs have declined about 2c ner dozen, owing to lib eral supplies. Ordinarily, midwinter eggs sell at 30c per dozen and upward, but top price for job lots now is 21c per dozen. Wo noto a better inquiry for potatoes since the beginning of the week, but no advance so far in prices. Grocerlea and Provisions. The movement of groceries is still slow. Tho feature of the week was the unexpected drop in sugar. While to tho ordinary ob server of trado indications niaikets gave signs of great firmness, there came without any warning a decline in prices. On the other hand, high grade New Orleans molasses shows an upward tendency. Ad vices from New Oi leans indicate a very short yield of open kettle molasses for this time of tlicye.ir, and that prices must go higher. Canned tomatoes and corn have sharply advanced since the beginning of tho week; All canned goods have been very dull and Mow slnco last season's bountiful crops were gathered, and now that trado in this lino be gins to pick up, it is hoped and expected that a ceneral revival is at hand. The movement of hog products is reported fairly good for the tune of the year. Iho price of hogs is about $1 0D per cwt above the lowest Soint leached in the lattcrpart of Novem er. In Shoe and Leather Twines. What Baltimore and Philadelphia aro doing in the manufacture and sale of goods pertaining to footwear is given in the lol lowing interesting statistics: "Mr. J.

Jail 03-ji wrrn V SATURDAY'S PRODUCE MARKETS CHICAGO Wheat was more active to-day and showed a marked improvement in tone. The drop in prices during tho last few days brought in a good many buying orders, and tho cables at the start were not so discour aging as they have been for some time. Do mestic markets were higher, and New York was a good buyer during the firtt hour. There was no concentrated or heavy buying hero, but everybody nearly seemed to want a little, and the offerings being light the ag gregate demand was sufficient to put prices up sharply; but the offerings were light and prices were gradually advanced fully 1 cent over yesterday's close. Foreign advices state positively that all rumors as to the re moval of the Russian prohibition are ut terly groundless. The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John SI.

THE STOCK MARKET AGAJN BECOM ING INTENSELY BULL. Industrials Monopolize All the Life 5n;ar Goes Down on the Proposed Issue of Stock, bnt Cordage Moves Up Bailroad Bond Bather Active. New York, Jan. 16. The stock market to day was the dullest we have nad in a long time, and, as a rule, the fluctuations were on a strict parity with the amount of business done: so that the final changes, "while gen erally advances, are for insignificant frac tions only in- railroad stocks. The dealings still retained their professional character which they have had for some time, and no significance may be attached to the trading. No stock made any movement of import ance, and in no stock were the sales as much as 9,000 sh res, -which, after the activity ana wide movements we ha e bad, sufficiently shows the waning interest In the market on the part of speculators. . Tho only feature was tho Industrials. Sugar still felt the effect of the proposed new issues of stock, further retiring from 30 to 78Jic and closing only o Higher than the lowest figure. Cordage stocks were strong, and the preferred rose over 1 per cent; but Chicago Gas was quite neglected and Distil lers' aDOur, tne same. The market opened higher and further im proved during the first hour of business, but the gains were not important and realiza tions afterward neutralized these advanced in almost everything. The Chesapeake and Ohio preferred stocks were the strongest on the list, but while reaching still bettor figures than they have heretofore attained, they scored only small fractional gains. Tho final dealings aeain saw a firm temper, and tho close was firm at a shade better than last nieht's prices. Sugar6Coreda final loss of Railroad bonds were fairly active and gen-prallj- strong, and tho Kansas and Texas seconds again came to the front, rising 1J-J on sales of 100,000, the total transactions be ing 1,250,000. Other issues scored gains, but tho list in general was quiet and the changes unimportant. The following table shows the prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester day.
