Tbe lexi con and the philosophical apparatus were transiaivnt . so we could see riuht through them into the meadows and the orchard's. Not so wilb poor Daniel, He did not know that he should cvr escape from cap tivity, or. cscapiiij.-, he did not know but when be got. home the hived one would be dead and he woidd xo. wanilcrimr and ivccpinu. .lnionit the sepubhers of his I'm thcr. liesiiles that, the kirn; tried to make him form-t bis borne and forget bis country and for that purpos- actually chanu'ed bis name. Too kinu wanted him to be a prodiL-v in personal appearance, and so be ordered meat and wine sent from bis own table to Daniel, but Daniel refuses all this and puts himself upon the humblest diet, the rest of all herbs. called pulse, anil plain water. His attend ants cry out aiinst Ibis an I tell bin he will perish nniler sin li a ib.-l. "No," lie says; "you try us for ten day.i. and if at tbe end of lb.it tune we arc mil full cheeked and robust as any it will be sur prising." Ten days pass nlnnu, and the students come up for examination, and all declare that none are sn ruddy and robust as Dani -I and bis I'ellou- captives. The days of industrious pupllaKO and the years pass by, and the (lay of uraduatiou has come, anil Daniel );cts his diploma, sinned liv the king and reading as follows: "In all matters of wisdom ami understanding that the kinit imiuircd of them be found them ten times better than all the ma gicians and asl roloeers that were in all bis realm." And so Daniel took tbe tirst honor, and here tbe story ends, for Daniel, the student, hereafter will be Daniel, the prime, minister. The next thought Mii;etrd lo me by this subject is that young men may be carried into captivity by their enemies. Tin re is a eaptiwtv more Kalling than the one in which Daniel was transported. It. is tbe captivity of evil habit. .Men do not t.o into that wit tinu'ly. Slyly and imper ceptibly are the chains forged upon ibeni, and one day they wake up to find tin ni selves a ivay down in l.abylou. ( 'yrus after ward consented that some of bis capiivts should return, and r.o.iKU) of them accepted the opportunity. Hut tell mo what evil habit ever consented to let a man go. Ten plagues made I'har.ioh consent to the de parture of Cod's people, but tell me what l'iiaraob f evil habit ever cbeerlully con- i sealed t.) let any of its victims go. Men I talk of evil habits as though they were i light and trivial, but they are scorpion whips tha tear tbe llesli; they aie spikes more bloody than the path of a lirabmau; they are the sepulcbers in which millions are burned alive. The young are in more peril bccaUKe liny are unsuspecting. Till.' lions are uslrcp in their soul, and their power is not suspected. The time when u chip's c'liipany makes mutiny is when the watchman i- oil' his guard. W hen a spider meets a fly. it docs not say, "!o down with me to ibe place w here I luurder insects." No; it says, "Come and take .1 bright morning walk with me on ibis sus pension bridge of glittering gossamer." Oh, there is a didi-rcnce between the sparkle of a serpent's eye and the crush of it h slimy folds! There is a difference be tween the bear's paw toying with a kid and the crackling of the bones in the ter rible hug. Tike's peak looks beautiful in the distance, but ask the starved travelers by the roadside what they think of l'ike's peak. Are there thosu around whom sus picion companions are gathering? Do their jests and their ciilerlainmeiits luako the hours go blithely by when you are with thriii? Have you taken a nip from their cup ot sin or gone Willi tueni ill one path of unrighteousness? Turn back. i-'rom iiahylon they came, and to llahy Ion they would curry you. If so many plague stricken men would like to enter your companionship before any one is ul lowed to pass into the intimacy of your heart put on them severest (uaranline. My subject ulso impresses Die with the fact that early impressions are almost in elfaceable. Daniel had a religious bring ing up. l-'rom tbe good meaning of his name 1 know he had Jiious parentage. Iiut as soon as he comes into the possession of the king his name is changed, all his sur roundings are changed, and now, you say, will begin the demoralization of his char acter, llefore his name was Daniel, which means "Cod ipy judge;" now his name is to be Ili'lteshazar, which means "the. treasurer of the god l!el." Now you ex pect lo see him overthrown amid all these .-hanged circumsl anccs. I )h, no! Daniel itarled right, and he keeps on right. When I lilid what Daniel is in Jerusalem I am not' surprised to lind what he is in Haby ion. , I wish I could wrile upon all parents hearts the fact that early impressions are well nigh incll'accable. When 1 see .lo iieph, a pious lad, in the house of his fa' thcr, Jacob, I am not luiriiriscil to see bun acting so nobly down in Kgypl. W hen I lind Samuel, a pious lad, ill the limine of his mother, Hannah. 1 am not urnrised that he gives a terrible smiting to idolatry as hooii as be comes to man hood. Jhivid planned the temple lit Jcru alem and gathered the materials for it building, but Solomon, Ibe sou, came ami put up the structure, and that goes on in ill ages. The father plans the character of tho child and its destiny for lime and pternily, then the sou completes the junc ture. You might ai well put down a Inunda tion ten feet by live and expect to rear tin it u great cathedral us to put down I con'ructod character in a child's soul and yet rear upon it. soinctbinp! extensively grand and extensively useful. Let ine uy to those Cbrislian fn rents who are doing their best in tbe education of their children: Take good heart. Your sona this morning may be t.ir away from you and in a distant city, but Cod, to whom you dedicated theiii. will look lifter them. The Cod of Daniel will take caro of tbein far away in Jlabylon. "Train up n child in the way he should im. and v bi-n he is old he will not. depart fine, it " lie may wander away for awhile luid t ill iu.i sin and break your heart, but before be ,s done with his life, you. having commend ed him to Clod, he will come laci lorain'. for I put the emnhasi in the right plait und on the word "old" when I renenl that passage and say, "Train up a child in the he should uo. und when ho is old he will not (tennrf from it.

The young man who wan present tobl us the story. In the night there was a little child in the sleeping cur fretful and worrying and crving hour after hour. A man on the opposite tide nf the ear lost his patience and Baid, "Kit her make thai child shut up nr take it to its mother!" Then another man on the opposite side of the Bleeping car. a man with n broken heart, pushed back the curtain and looked out and said. "oung man. that child's mother is .lend :n tbe baggage ear. and the little thing is Wailing for her." Then the man who had committed the affront rose and offered bis services for the night and look care of the child until the morning, and all tbe pas senger in the car wire broken down with emotion.

(bid Have Ibis count ly froin the perils of si rung drink. My subject also impresses me with th beauty of youthful character rcniainnm incorrupt away from home. If Daniel had plunged into every wickedness of the city of llabvlon the old folks at home would never have heard of it. If he had gone through all the rounds of mi.piily, it would have east no shadow on hi-i early home. There were no telegraph . there were no railroads. l!ut Daniel knew that Cod's eye was on him. 'I nal wa.i enough. There are young men not so good nway from home as at home. I'Vcderick tending bis father's sheep among the hills or thrashing rye in the barn is different perhaps, from l-Vcilcr-ck on the Slock Kxchange. Instead of the retiring disposition there is lei!. I elfiontcry. In stead of an oblii.ing spirit, there is perhaps oppressive- sellisbncss. Instead nf open handed charity there is light listed stinginess. Instead of reason able hours there is midnight revel. 1 speak to many young men on this niatUr von who may have left your father's house and others who, thoiinh still under the par ental roof, are looking forward to the tini" when you will go forth to conlli t, alone in this world, wilb its temptations mi. I ils sorrows, ar.d when you will build lip your own character. Ob,' that Ibe Cod of Dan el might be v.-illi vou in Iiahylon! I think tbe most thrilling passage of a young n, all's life is when he leaves home to make in fortune. The novelty and the romance if the thing may keep him from any keen sorrow, hut the old people who have seen the destruction of so uiunv who have started with high hope cannot help but he anxious. As long as he was in bis father's house bis waywardness was kindly ihidcd. and although sometime be thought the restraint rather bitter and rather se vere in his calmer moment, he aeklowl edged it was salutary and righteous. Through the inlluence of metropolitan friends the father has obtained a situation for his son in the city. The comrades of tbe young man come the night before his departure to hid farewell to the adven turer. The morning of his going away he walks around the place to take a last look at things, perhaps come upon some ob ject that start a tear, some old familiar place, but no one sees the tear. Tbe trunk is put upon the wag.in. the young man is oil' for tbe city. He is set down amid excitements and amid associates who lire not nvercarcfu! about their words and thoughts and actions. Morning conies. No family altar. Sabbath comes. No rural ipiiet. The saurtuury ci.n.os, but all the face are strange, and no one cares w in thcr he conies to church or does not come.. On his way from the store he sees a placard announcing a rare and a vicious amusement. He has no greeting at the door of the boarding house, lie has no appetite lor the food. No one cares whether he cats or d ics not cat. Kath'T he would not cat. It is cheaper. After tbe tea he goes into (lie parlor, takes up a book, limls it dull, no sister to look over it with him. (iocs upstairs to his room in the third story, finds it cold and unin viting, ami in despair he rushes out, raring for nolhiiii' but to get something to maku him stop thinking. He is caught in the first whirl of sin. lie ha started out on the dark sea where tbe gleam of the joy is the Hashing of the pit and the laughter is the creaking of the gate of the lost. Ob, how many graves there are in tbe country churchyard which, if they could speak, would tell of young men who went oil' with high hopes and came hack blasted and crushed to disgrace the scpulchcr of their fathers. And vet this exodu must go on. As from distant hills the rivers are poured down through tunnels to slake the thirst of our great cities, so from distant coun try places the streams of incorrupt popu lation must pour down to purify our great cities. To-morrow morning on all tho thoroughfares, in every steamboat und in every rail car will be young men going forth to seek their fortunes in our great towns. () Lord Cod of Daniel, help them to be aa faithful in llabvlon as they wero at Jerusalem! Forget not, () my young friend, in the great seaport the moral und religious principle inculcated by parental solicitude, and if today seated in the house of Cod you feel the advantage of early Christian culture forget not those to whom you are most indebted and pray Cod that an old age comes upon them ami the shadow of death the hope of heaven may beam through the darkness. Cod for bid that any of us through our misconduct should bring disgrace upon a futher'H name or prove recreant to tho love of a mother. Die dramatist made no exaggeration when he exclaimed, "liow sharper than a ser pent's tooth it is to buve a thankless child!" Oh, that Cod would help you as parents and as young people to take to heart the lessons of this important subject, und if we shall learn that there is danger of being carried into captivity ami that early impressions are almost incll'accable mid that there is something beautiful in Christian sobriety and that there is great attractiveness in piety away from home, then it will be to you and to me a matter of everlasting congratulation that we con sidered how Daniel behaved when he be came u college student ut llabvlon.

Snbjeeti The Lost Htieep nmi ll.e Inst Coin, Lake it., l-10-.Onl.1en Text l.nka it,, 10 Memory Verses, 4-7 Commntiir on th Ditj't T.cHson. 1. "Then drew near unto Ilim." They "were drawing near unto Him'' (It. V.) to lwar Ilim. They came to His ministry with an assurance that He would receive them into His kingdom. "1'iililiran and mnncrs." The publicans were the tax gatherers. They were odious to the whole nation on account of their occupation and their unKcriipulounncs in carrying it on. and were persons from whom the religion! held nloof because of their gross and son mial life. "To hear Him." They did not come merely to see Him, or to solicit for cures, but to hear His excellent, doctrine and tho instruction He gave. They came to see ,fesus Is-cnuse ther were penitent, a fact which should have led the rharisers to rejoice rather than tn murmur. 2. "The Pharisees." The leading party among tbe ,fcw: "the orthodox defenders of tbe law." They were very strict out wardly, but neglected the weightier mat ters of the law. such ns justice, in. rev. humility and purity of heart. "And Scribes." The teachers nf the law. also called "lawyers" and "doctors of tbe law." Manv of them were I'lmriscc and a'sn member of the Sanl.edrin. "Murmured." The jiroiid murmur and condemn: th" humble hear and learn. They found fault with Ilim ID because He allowed outcast and vicious persons to approach lllm. and 121 because He associated with them, "lie rcivcth sinner." Yes, precious ti nt It! Christ receivctli sinful men. lie taku them in His arms, forgive ami save them, and edmilj. them into the circle of disciples. They kept far from other reli gious teachers, but were drawn to Christ, "And eateth w ith them." This v as cm sidered scandalous; it was contrary to the tradition of the elder, .lesii was Ibe friend of the sinner, but not of Ihe sin: tbev hated the sinner, .lesii associated with sinners for the purpose of drawing t In-ill away from their sins to llimsell. II. "lie spake this parable." In order to justify His course and show the true spirit of the gospel to the lost He speaks the parables of this lesson. Something like this parable we had ill Matthew IS: 12. 'Ilicro it was designed to show the caro Cod takes for the preservation of saint, a a reason why we should not otl'end them; here it i designed to show the pleasure Cod takes in the conversion of sinners, us a reason why we should rejoice ill it. 4. "What man of you." The word are emphatic. He make it personal and ap peal to their ordinary human feeliny. If they would pity a lost sheep ought lie to be criticised for showing pity to a lost man? "if he lose one of them." The whole flock of mankind, both .lews and (.entiles, belongs to the divine Shepherd. The lost sheep is an emblem of a heedless, thoughtless sinner, one who follow the corrupt dictates of his own heart, without ever rcllecting upon his conduct. No creature is more defenseless, or more in danger of being devoured by do;;s and wild beasts than a sheep. Who but a 1'hansee or a devil would lind fault with the shepherd wdio endeavors to rescue hi sheep from d inger and ruin! "Iave the ninety ami nine." Not that the shepherd doe not have a care for the ninety and nine they are all precious to him, but they are safe, it is the lost one that now needs his attention. "In the wilderness." The plains on which the sheep were pas tured. All iincidlivated groiuid was called "wilderness." "Co after that which is lost." Sinners are lost to Cod, lost to holiness and heaven. Jesus goes after them, by Ilia spirit, by His providences, through IIU written word, by His church. He searclu diligently with a "yearning, active, tender sympathy." with a heart tilled with true love, bent oil liiuling and restoring the wanderer. 6. "Hath found it." This is not to be understood a teaching that Christ saves men independent of auv action on their part See on verse 7. "On I lis shoulder." Hi! bore our sins in His own body on the trte. I IVt. 2: 24; Isu. :,:t: 4 li;'lleb. II: 2H. "itejoiciug." Iive anil pity ext. lain the gentleness with which the shepherd treats the sheep when he finds it. Merry for the lust one and joy within himself are the shepherd's feelings. 0. "He callcth together." The joy is so great that it needs to be imparted. Those, who are animated by the same compassion the shepherd manifested will rejoice with him. This sheep was of no greater value than any one of the ninety and nine that had not wandered away; it was the rescue that caused the rejoicing. 7. "Joy shall be in heaven." The angels take mi interest ill the iilfairs of this world. They rejoice (v. 1(1) when the lost return. "Thai repenteth." Sinners must repent in order to be saved. The parable represent the shepherd us finding the sheep, taking it upon his shoulder and carrying it to the fold, the sheep having no will in the matter; but in the applica tion let us leineiuber that tho sinner de cides whetoer he will accept or reject tho love and mercy of Christ. This parable teaches: 1. That man is lost. (1) ily ig norance of the truth. (2) Ily falling into vice. (3) Ily his own heedlessness. 2 That ho may be found and restored. (1) Christ is seeking him. (2) He must re pent. 3. That his recovery occasions joy, (I) To himself. (2) To Christ. (II) To friends and neighbors. (4) To angels. 8. "If she lose one piece." The same as the Crock drachma and the I'otnun de narius. In value about 111 rents. This par aide illustrates the precioiisnesB of the hu man soul. The loss of one out of ten is a much more serious one than in the pre ceding parable. "Seek diligently." A new idea is brought out in this parable. Pity moved the shepherd, but self-interest moved the woman to search for the coin. And so Christ teaches that man has value in the sight of Cod. 1. The owner of the coin as representing Cod is, (1) anxious to find that which is lost, (2) diligent in seek ing in dark places, (3) successful. (4) filled with joy at the recovery. 2. Tho coin as representing man is, (1) of real value, (2) unconscious of loss, (3) helpless. Hut man is dilFcrcnt from the coin in that ho is an active, responsible being, and must re pent in order to retiirrj to Cod. 0. "Kejoice with me." The cause of re joicing was that the coin had been found, not that it was of greater valtio than thu other pieces which had not been IohI. When sinners como to Christ, Cod, good men and angels all rejoice. !f these Phar isees had not been so blind they might have seen how little of the spirit of heaven they had within tliciu; they found fault when Jesus received and saved the lost. 10. "Over one sinner." One soul is pre cious. To be associated with Christ in the work of saving men is the highest calling wo call engage in in this world. Let us all m rive to be soul winners.

Icnth.' Scientific: men have never yet and tin opportunity of Investigating It, becnuso It mines nt tho most unex pected times, and may keep nwny from ccrtnln locnllty for years. AVcll-rcnd men who have been through It say Hint It Is really a frozen fog. , Hut whoi-e the fog comes from Is nioro than nny )no can say. This phenomenon oc curs most frequently In the northern part of Colorado, In Wyoming, nnd oc casionally In Montana. "About two years ago a party of Ihreo women and two men wero cross ing North Park In a wagon In tli month of February. The nlr was bit terly cold, but dry ns n bono and mo tionless. Tlx. sun slump with almost startling brilliancy. As tho live people drove along over the crisp snow they did not experience tbe least cold, but really felt more comfortable, and rath rr enjoyed the trip. Mountain peak fifty miles away could be seen as distinctly as the pine trees by (be roadside. "Suddenly one of Ihe women put her hand up to her face nnd remarked (hat something had slung her. Then other members of the party did the same thing, nil hough not a sign of nn Insect could be seen. All marveled greatly nt this. A moment later they Uotlccil that the distant luoutilains wero disappearing behind a cloud of mist. Mist In Colorado In February! Surely there must be some mistake, Iiut there was no mistake, because, within ten minutes a gentle wind be gan to blow ami the nlr became filled with line particles of somi'thing that scintillated like diamond dust In tbe sunshine. SHU tbe people 'drove on until they came to a cabin, where u ninti signslled them to slop, With l b. head tied up in a bundle of niutllers, be rushed out nnd handed the driver a piece of paper on which was writ ten: 'Come into tbe house ipiiclc, or this storm will kill nil of you. Don't talk outside here.' "Of course, no time was lost In get ting under cover mnl putting the horses in the stables. Hut they were a little late, for In less than mi hour the whole party was sick with violent coughs nnd rever. llefore the next morning one of the women died with all the symptoms of pneumonia. The others were violently ill of It, but managed to pull through after Ions sickness. " 'I seen you people driving along Ihe road loikg bef.ie you got to my house, and I k no wed you didn't know what yon were drlvln' through,' said the man, ns soAn as the surviving mem bers of the party were able to talk. 'That Btufl' ye seen in the nlr Is small pieces of lee, froze so cold It goes clea -down into your lungs without melting. If any man stayed out a few hours without his bead covered up he would be sure to die. One winter about eight years ago It cleaned out n whole Indian tribe across the Wyoming line. They are more afraid of It than they lire of rattlesnakes. That's the reason they cull It yie "while death. A Frog nitrometer. A singular kind of water glass Is common in (ieriiian middle-class und artisan homes. This Is the frog-barometer. The frog Is Imprisoned In :i glass preserve Jai- hali'-lllled with wa ter and covered with muslin or per forated paper. At the lotl.iiu of the jar are a few pebbles nud a sprig or two of growing water plant. Against the side of the jar leans a tiny ladder with flat rungs, made, usually, of strips from a cigar box lid. During lino wealher the inhabitant of tho vessel so furnished remains in tho watery half of his dwelling; when ruin Is present or probable he emerges nnd Hikes bis ungainly sent upon the upper rungs of his rude staircase. Quaint though the general effect may Hceni to the foreigner, It is quite famil iar to the Certnan nud Swiss eye, and froggy's prognostications, as a rule, lire found to bo wonderfully correct. Froggy, indeed, Is In the majority of enses n family pet, nnd many a fat fly Is caught nud poked Into bis domicile by friendly bunds. I'nder these elrcunislunccs froggy skips up Ids li.ddder qulto regardless of thu climate conditions. Ills ridiculous c-nrrlnge of liis "neckless' bend makes him a perfect caricature of the Her man military carriage. Tho sclentlllc basis upon which the frog-bnrometer works Is very simple. Approaching rain makes the nlr henvy, nnd communicates an lucrcuse of pressure to the water In which froggy reshles.drlvlng him out of It with more or less precipitation. In a dry Mate of the atmosphere he craves for moisture and descends lo the crys- '1 depths below. London Kxprcs. l'laim TliKt Orow Nor lliiins.
