'Gause,if I didn'teomebody else would,'
tho grocer answered, in a tone, and with
an'air, that meant 'what's that to you V
But something in the stranger's manner
restrained his impertiueuce, and his words
were civil, though few.
There's h r mother, looking out of the
viudow,' he added, "guet-s -hc's getting
intfburry for her giu,' and he finished
by' a sneering laugh, as he poiuted to a
biiildiug opposite and a few doors below,
from one of the second floor windows of
which a woman was leaning, and trying,
byuneaos of violent gesticulation, to at
tract the notice of the child.
i-Tbe stranger started, and uttered a
low exclamation, as his eyes fell upon the
woman, but the next moment his atten
tion was attracted by a scene in the street,

the" window from which the woman stiii
leaned, his heavy baud was laid upon the
girl's fchouldcr.
pKDbe 'words he uttered were not audible
t'o'the two spectators of the scene, but
tbey-saw him snatch the cup from the
cb'ildV hands, and hastily swallow what
retnkined of its contents after her rapid
flight. The woman screamed at him some
coarse epithet, as she saw her expected
dram thus seized. Lowering the cup from
his upraised mouth, he threw it violently

Tho-e two strong men, however, had
little trouble in reducing him to submis
tion. They pushed him into an adjoin
ing room, locked the door, and then the
stranger begged the grocer to procure, at
once, the scrviccsof the nearest physician
for the child, which ho added, he would
remunerate..
The grocer departed, and the stranger
was left alone with the woman, who was
still sobbing and moaning in the comer
where she sat, seemed unconscious of
much that had passed. Folding his arms
he gazed at her for a few moments, while
tears slowly gathered in his eyes and roll
ed down his cheeks. He was thinking of
scenes long past of the far off happy
days of boyhood, when be played beneath

and when at play or prayer, by the fire

he had not for years beheld.
He had never seen her since that sad
parting hour when she left the dear

himself, in the sight of God and man, to
love and cherish, and protect her through

Then he spoke. It was but one' word,t

Then a cry burst from her pented lips.

some forlorn hope, led him to one of the
benavolent institutions that are doing so
much for the salvation of the rising gen

of neat children, who were lifting their
sweet voices in a grateful hymn, he saw

The twenty-fifth chapter of St Mat-

course of which commentary the idea was

depreciation was as marked a charactcr-
istic of those who were really Christians,
..... . .
, as self-exhalation was a conspicuous elem-
text that he wished to direct the attention
of his hearers.
'Ihey were just such words, of warning
as we should address to auv' one whom
we saw running into danger. Thus if!
we saw a stranger going into the woods,
and knew at the time that he was doing

promptings of humanity would compel us
to arrest him with the cry ot " Turn'

But the Gospel warning now . under

that condescended to speak this word of
warniug to us all, and we might rest as
sured that no trial occasion had prompt
ed the Most High to sound this solemn
warning in the ears and hearts of -men.
In view of this, it becomes us, as iutelli-1
gent creatures, to ponder well the solemn
import and object of this warning from
.Heaven, to "turn from our ways." If we
were running heedlessly into some dan-!

' warning did not call upon U3 merely to

illustrative argument against this doc

was, that "in hell the rich man lifted up

bv "worm" and bv "fire" "where the
I I
worm dieth not and the fire is not quench
ed," was the terrible declaration. He
understood this as having referenco to the
world of the grave. Wo all knew that it
was our custom to bury the dead, and we
were also aware of the frightful condition
to which our bodies were subjected iu the
grave, when it became the loathsome hab
itation of destroying worms. Then, a
gam, in some countries, as an Evangelist
was aware, it was the custom not to bury
but to burn the bodies of the dead. The
torments above alluded to could, of course
be intended but to typify the dread or
deal of the kouI hereafter. We knew that
the fires which man may kindle must go
out; also, that the body which man con
signs to tho flames must soon be consum
ed, but whetf the conscience of a guilty
soul is once set or. fire by the angry
breath ofrG'od, it' will burn forever. This
was the quonchlens fire to be endured
throughout eternity. The sinner was
treading a. path that led directly to (bis
awful doom, and to him the voice of God
was now echoed" to his iu'most soul, "Turn
:ye, turn ye, from your evil way's; for why
will ye die?"
Wo could certainly not escape the con
clusion that God meant to turn us from
some great danger; we could uot think, as
rational creatures, that Uou, by his sol
emn warning, intended merely to fright-
en us.
At this point the preacher took up tho
aecoud division of his theme, viz: That
jte words ofthe text were not only words
i warning, duo also or earnest persuasion.
1 ue import or this divine entreaty to
"turn"' was evidently an appeal for us to
.tinaiic an, earnest auu nonct't eiiort to es
cape, and which fact in itself was a clear
implication that escape is possible; nay,
more, it was an emphatic assurance that
we shall escape if we hear and heed the
warning,
i he: necessity for turning was
i o- J l"lu,uto
easily explained. Sinners had been pur
suing a path that led its victims down to
death, and of course to escape this awful
terminus, they must turn aside and enter
the path that leads to the cross, which
was the path of hope, of faith, and of
righteousness, and which led right on to
eternal life at the right hand of God.

chiefly to his having omitted to take tho
physic which Dr. 13 proscribed, and, as
the old gentleman is inclined to be parsi

Jervis, 'you
will soon be married and go to house

a neat sum of money which I shall leave
to be divided among my children.'
