"Cnflha lle thin." said the wlfalMha
linshand, "or there will not be enousrli to
KO ail around for the children; cut the allcen
thin." Blcase l be Qnii there la a full loaf
for averv one that wants it. Broad enough
and to apart No thlnallcea at the Lord'
table. I remember when tho Master Street
Hospltnl in rhllndelphin was opened during
the war, a telegram came savin if, "There
will be three hundred wounded men to-ulirhtt
be ready to take care of them;" and from
my church thero went in Dome twenty or
thirty men and women to look after those
Fioor wounded follows. A they eame, aome
rom ono part of the land, aome from an
other, no ono asked whether this man waa
from Oregon, or from Massachusetts, or from
Minnesota, or from New Vork. There waa a
wounded aoldlor. and the only question waa
how to take off the rapa the most frentlv,
and put on the bandago, ana. administer the
cordial. And when a soul oomea to Ood, He
doct not ask where you came from, or what
your anoestry waa. Ilenllnir for nil your
wounda. Tardon for all your guilt. Com
tort for all your troubles.
Then, also, I eonnael you If you want to
fret back to quit all your bad associations.
One unholy intimacy will fill your soul with
moral distemper. In all the ages of tbe
church there nas not been an lustnnce whra
a man kept one evil associate and waa re
formed. When a man deliberately chooses bail as
sociation because he likes it, that man has
started on the road down. Oh, I do not eare
what you call it, that association will des
poil yonr soul. After you are doetroyed,
body, mind and soul, what will they do for
yon? what will thoy doforyour family? They
will not rlve one cent to support your chil
dren after you are dead. Tiivy will not weep
one tear at yonr burial. They will chuckle
over your damnation.
I bad a rare friend at the West. He was
full of weloomewhen I went thereto live.
He had splendid personal appearance. There
is not a grander looking person In this house
to-luy than he waa; and to this grand per
sonal appearance he added all geniality and
all kindness of soul tender as a child,
a beautiful and loving nature, and I loved
him as a brother 1 but I saw evil people com
ing up around him, evil men coming up
from bad places of amusemont, and they
seize 1 hold of bis social and genial nature,
and thpy begau to drag him down, and he
went further and further.
I used to Bay to hlra. "Now, why don't you
stop theso bad habits and become 11 Chris
I Inn?" for I talked with him Just as I would
talk with a brother, and ho understood me,
and I understood blin. I said, "Why don't
you give up those things and becomea Chris
tian?" "Oh," he said to mo one dnv, lean
ing over his counter just after I had asued
him for a hundred dollurs to help educate a
young man for the ministry, and be had
given me the money beforo 1 had the story
half told "If it will do the young man any
good, here is a hundred dollars." Right
after thnt conversation I said, "Now, you
nre a splendid fellow; why don't you give
up your bad habits and be n Christian?"
"Oh," lie said, as tho tears ran down his
cheeks. "I cnu't. I should like to be a Chris
tian. You see, I hnve got these habits on me
so. sir. I can't get rid of tliotn. I have been
going wrong longer than you would think
for, and I enn't stop."
Sometimes, in the moments of repentance,
he would go to his home and embrace his
little girl of eight years convulsively to his
heart, ami he would cover her with adorn
ments and strew toys and pictures nil about
her, and then from her beautiful presence
the benutful presence of bis littlo child he
would go to the lutoxlcntlug cup, and to tho
house of shame, ax a fool to the comtctlon
stocks; and there these bit I men kept pus h
Ing lilm on, a ship, full-wlngc, I, crashing
into the breakers.
I was called to bis deathbed. I hastened,
and when. I got into the room I was sur
prised to llud him in full everyday dre.s, ly
ing on the top of the uouoh. I put out my
hand and he greeted mo very cordially. He
said: "Now, Mr. Talmage, sit down right
there." I snt down and ho said: "Last
night, just where you sit now, I saw my
mother, though she has been ilind twenty
years yes. sir; Just where you sit now sho
sat. I couiuVt liave been mistaken. I won
as wide awake as I am now. Hue sat just
where you sit. Wife, I wish you would take
these strings off tunt they nre weaving
around me; I wish you would tnko them off;
they nnuoy in. 'very muen In this conversa
tion." I jaw he was in delirium. His wife
said: "Tuure is nothing there, my dear; there
is nothing there."
Then be resumed tho oiversntlon, and
said: "Ve.s, my mother but just where vou
sit now. I know her. HI10 had the same
spectacles, and the sainu cup and the same
nproc, and the same dress. It must hnvn
been her. Just as she looked twenty years
ago she bus been dead now twenty jour.
And sitting there she said to me, 'Kogwoll. I
wish you would do better;' and I got up out
of bed, nnd I knelt beside her and said.
Mother, I wish I could I wish I could do
better; I would liko to do bettor. Won't you
help me? You used to help me. Why can't
you holp me now, mother?'" But soon I
said, "Now we will pray." I knelt to pruv.
He did not realize anything I said, J sup
pose. Then I got up nnd said "Uood-by!
good-by!" Thnt ulght he went to Ood.
Arrangements for the obsequies were be.
ing Hindu, and thoy said, "Oh. It won't do to
briug him to the uliurah: ho has been so dis
solute." I sabl, "Bring In in, bring him; be
stood by me wnen he was ulivo. nnd I'll
staud by III in when ho Is dead. Bring 111 in
into the ihurch." The Kabbnth came. As I
stood in the pulpit und saw his body coming
up the aisle, I felt as If I could weep tours of
blood. I stood there that day and I said,
'iThis man had his virtues, and a good ninny
of them; he bad his fnults, uud a good muny
of them; but let that man in this atseuihly
who is without sin cast the llrst tone on this
coffin lid."
On the ono side of the pulpit sat tho beau
tiful child, as radlunt und sweot faced as any
child that nut ut your table this morning,
hho knew not the sorrows of un orphan
child; file was not old enough to realize
them. Hoinetimes when I think of that awful
scene, her fuee haunts me liko a beautiful
face through u horrid ilr inn. On tho other
sido of the pulpit snt the mun who had do
btroyod him. They had put the wormwood
nnd the gall into that orphan's cun. They
pushed bun off the procipio". I stood there
und Old thorn thnt there was a Ood und a
Jiulgmeut uud a hell for those who destroyed
their fellows. Did they weep? Ob, no, not
one tear. Did thevsigh reneutingly? Net one
slgb. Did thoy gay, "What u pity that we
destroyed hlru?" bb, no. They mt and
gazed at tbo collln as vultures ut the carcass
of u lamb whose heart they had ripped out.
That night, though my friend lay in O.ikvvood
Cemetery, I heard afterward that these men
went right on with their Iniquities, destroy
ing themselves nnd destroying others.
(lather up all the energies of bo lv, min i
and soul, nnd appealing to Ood for suciv,
declare this day everlasting war against nil
drinking habits, all gaining practices, all
houses of sin. Half-und-hulf work will
amount to nothing. It must be a Waterloo.
Hhrink buck now, nnd you are lost! I'ush
on, and you nre saved! A Kpnrtau General
fell at the very moment of victory, but ho
dipped his finger in his blood uud wrote ou
a rock, near which he was dying. "Sparta
has conquered." Though your struggle to
get rid ol slu may neoin to be utmost u death
struggle, you can dip your linger iu
your own blood and write on the Itock of
Ages "Victory through our Lord Josus
Christ!"
Oh, what glorious news it would be for
some of theso young men to send home to
their parents in tho country! They go to
the fiosloftlco every day or .to sea If there
are any letters from you. How anxious
they nre to hear! Nothing would p.'iie
them half so much a the news you might
send borne to-morrow that you had given
vour heart to tiod. I know how It is iu the
country. The ulght comes on. Theciittlo
sUnd uuder the rack through which burst
the truces of hay. The horses, JuhI having
frisked up through the meadow at the night
fall, stand knee deep in the bright straw
thnt invites them to lio down and rest. The
porch of the hovel is full of fowl. In the
old arm house ut night no candle Is
lighted, for tbe Humes clap bunds about the
great Lucklog, and shake the shadow of
the pTOio nfi and down the wall. Father
and mother sit there f.ir half nn bonr. sav
ing nothlnif. I wnder what thev aro think
ing of! Altera while the fatlirr breaks th
silence and snysi "Welt, I winder where
tnr boy is in town to-nlght" And the
mother answers; . "In no bad plaee. I wnr
rant yon t we always could trust him when
he was home, and since he has been awny
there have been so many pravers offered for
him we can trust him still." Then at S
o'oloek for thoy retire early In the country
at R o'clock thoy kneel down and com
mend yon to that Ood who watches in coun
try nnd In town, on tbo land and ou the
sea.
Rome one said to a Oreclnn Oennrali
"What was the proudest moment of your
llf"?" He thought a moment, and saldi
"The proudnst moment of my life was when
I sent word home to mv parents that I had
gained the victory." And tbo prondi-st and
most brilliant moment in your life will bo
the moment whn you pan send word to
yonr parents In the country that yon have
conquered your evil habits by the grace of
Ood, and biwome eternal victor.
Oh! despise not paternal anxiety. The
time will come when you have neither
father nor mother, and you will go around
the place where thoy used to watch you, and
find them gone from the house, and onaj
from the field, nnd gone from tho neighbor
hood. Crv as loud for forgiveness as vou
may over the mound In the churchyard they
will not answer. Dead! Dead! And then
you will take out the white lock of hair that
was cut from your mother's brow lust before
they burled her, and yon will take the
cane wltn which your father used to wnlk,
and yon will think and think, and wish that
yon had done Jut ns then wanted yon to,
and would give the world If you had never
thrust pang through their dear old hearts.
Ood pity the young mnn who has brought
disgrace on his father s name! O ld pit v tho
young man who has broken his mother's
heart! Bettor if ho had never been born
better If. In the first hoar of his life, Instead
of being laid against the warm bosom of ma
ternal tenderness, ho had been coflluod and
sepulchred! Thre Is no balm powerful
enough to he.il the heart of one who has
brought parents to a sorrowful grnve, ami
who wanders about through the dismal cem
etery, rondtmr the hair mid wringing tho
hands, nnd crying: "Mother! mother!" Oil,
that to-lav, by all the memories of tho past,
and by all tho hopns of the fuliir.i, vou
would yield vour heart t. O vl! May your
father's Oil nnd your mother's Ujd bo
your Old forever!

Benjamin I. Htedaker, a prominent farmer
living near liurlltigton, N. J., said that In
two weeks there wouldn't bo a watermelon
or citron in the county, bis-nuso of a para
site that Is ranldly killing the vines.
It is a small insect, not unlike 11 ludybug
In appearance, nnd In a single night deposits
thousands of eggs on the under side of the
leaves it favors. It also leaves a gummy
NUbstunce which makes the plant look green
for a time, after which the leaves wither uud
die.
The farmers around Iliirllnglon have tried
every means to save the vines, out none

Hums Love for 111 Wife..
"Hurns has heen hotly assailed,"
writes Arthur Warren in presenting
"The other Side or Ilohcrt Hurns" Iti
Hip Ladles' Home .lournnl, "because o
his nllegiHl Indifference to his wife
I .lean Armour), hut the fact Is he was
ardently fond of her. Jean was true to
him, and his true nffectlon never
really turned from her. Jean woinh!p
nod lilm -literally worshiped lilm. And
when we stu ly her devoted f0 wo
must agree thnt there must have lieen
tuiii'li that was admirable In the char
rioter of a man who was ndored by so
true 11 woman. Hums' biographers
have paid loo scanty tittcntlmi to all
this. There Is no use Iu upolngi.ing for
the defects of Hobble's life, but there Is
siich a thing lis Insisting too heavily
upon them. Too much has
been inndo In the thousand stoflcts of
Itiinis" life of the Highland Mary' epi
sode, an I too little of what he really
fi It for Jean Armour, nnd of Jean's In
tense loyalty to him and devoted care
of lilm. The real facts about Highland
Mary will never be know n. They com
prise the one episode of Hurns' life
which Is veiled In mystery. Hut ono
can study the poet's life closely enough
to sec that tin' persecution which In
Ilie early days Hceiucd to hopi ' .ly
separate Mm from love drove lilm to
Highland Mary for solace, and that
Mary's Mldd'U death hlcali.cd that
Highland lassie In his memory. There
was not much more to it. nnd Jean
never troubled herself nbotit It. Thero
has been a sad wa!c of popular sym
