Now he is dead, and you say, "Of course they will let, him alone," Oh, not Now thffy are watchful to sea whether there are any unnecessary expenses at the obsequies, to see whether there is any useless handle on the casket, to see whether there is any surplus plait on the shroud, to see whether the hearse is eostly or cheap, to aee whether the flowers sent to the casket have been bought by the family or donated, to see in whose name the deed to the grave is made out. Then they ransaok the bereft household, the books, the pictures, the carpets, the chairs, the sofa, the piano, the mattresses, the pillow on which he died. Cursed be debtl For the sake of your own happiness, for the sake of good morals, for the sake of your Im mortal soul, for God's sake, young man, as far as possible keep out ot Itl But I think more young men are slaughtered through irrellglon. Takeaway a young man's religion and you make him the prey of evil. We all know that the Bible is the only perfect avstem of morals. Now, If you want to destroy a oung man's morals, take his Bible away, ow will you do that? Well, vou will cari cature his reverence for the BcrlDtures. you will take all thone incidents of the Bible which can be made mirth of Jonah's whale, (Sampson's foxes, Adam's rib. Then you will caricature eccentrio Christians or Inconsistent Christians. Then vou will pass off as your own all those hackneyed arguments against Christianity which are as 01a as 10m fame, as old as Voltaire, as old as sin. Now you have captured his Bible, and you have taken his strongest fortress. The way Is comparatively clear, and all the gates ot his soul are sot open In invitation to tho sins of earth and tho sorrows of death, that they may come In anu anve me stane lor their encampment. A steamer 1500 miles from shore, with broken rudder and lost compass, and hulk leaking fifty gallons tho hour, Is better off than a young man when you have robbed htm of bis Bible. Have you ever noticed how despicably mean It is to take away the worms uiuio witnouc proposing a substi tute? It is meaner thnn coming to a sick man and steal his medicine, menner than to come to a cripple and steal bis crutch. meaner than to come to a pauper and steal his crust, meaner than to come to a poor man and burn his bouso down. It Is the worst of all laroenlos to steal the Bible which has been crutch and modlcino ami food and eternal homo to so manv. What a generous and magnanimous business In fidelity has gone into this splitting up of uicuoncs nnu niKinif awav 01 lire escanes and extinguishing of lighthouses! I come out nnu i say to suou people, "what are you doing all this for?" "Oh." thev sav. "just for fun." It Is such fun to see Chris tians try to hold on to their Bibles! Many ot them have lost loved ones and have been told that there Is a resurrection, and It is such fun to tell them there will lie no resurrection! Many of them have bnllevod that Christ came to carry tho burdens and to heal the wounds of the world, and It is such fun to tell them thoy will have to bn their own savior! Think of tho meanest thing you evor heard of, thon go down 1000 leet uiKlerneath It. and you will And vour- self at the top ot a stairs 100 miles long: go to the bottom of Hie stairs, nnd you will And a lndder 1000 miles long; then go to tho foot of the ladder and look off a preci pice half as far as from here to China, and you will find the headquarters of the mean ness that would rob this world of its only comfort In life, Its only pence In death anil Its only hope for Immortality. (Slaughter a young man's faith In Ood, and there is not much more left to slaughter. Mow what has become of the alauir h- tered? Well, some of them are in their father's or mother's house, broken down In health, waiting to die; others are In tho hospital, others are In tho cemetery, or, rather, their bodies are, for their souls have gone on to retribution. Not much prospect for a young man who started llfo with' good health &3d Rood education And a Christian example set him, and oppor tunity ot usefulness, who gathered all his treasures and put tUom in one box, and then dropped it into Tub sea. Now, how is this wholesule slaughter to be ptonped? There is not a porsou who is not interested In that question. The ob ject of my sermon is to put a weapon ID each or your hands for your own defense. Wait not for Young Men's Christian Asso ciations to protoct you or churches to pro tect you. Appealing to Clod for help, take care of vourse.lf. first, nave a room somewnore mat you can call your own. Whether it be the back parlor of a fashionable boarding house or a room in the fourth story ot a cheap lodging I care not. Only have that one room your fortress. Let not the dissi- fater or unclean step over the threshold, f they oome up the long flight of stairs and knock at the door, meet them face to face and kindly yet firmly refuse them admit tance. Have a few family portraits on the wall, if you brought thom with you from your country homo. Have a Bililo on tho stand. If you can afford it and can piny on one, have nn instrument ot music harp or flute or cornet or melodoon or violin or piano. Every morning before you leave that room pray. Every night after you oome home in that room pray. Make that room your Gibraltar, your Sevastopol. your Mount Zion. Let no bad book or newspaper come into that room auvmore than you would allow a cobra to coll on your table. Take care of yoursalf. Nobody else will take care ot you. Your help will not come up two or tnree or lour nights ot stairs; ?our help will come through the roof, down rom heaven, from that Ood who in the 6000 years of the world's history never be trayed a young man who tried to be good and a Christian. Let me say in regard to your adverse worldly circumstances, Id pass ing, that you are on a level now with those who are finally to succeed. Mark my words, young man, and think of it thirty years from now. You will And that thoso who thirty years from now nre the millionaires ot this country, who are the orators of the country, who are the poets of the country, who are the strong merchants of the coun try, who are the (treat philanthropists of the country mightiest in churoh aud Btate ore this morning on alevel with you, not an Inch above, aud in straitened cir cumstances now. There is no class of persons that so stir mv sympathies as young men in great cities. Not quit enough salary to live on, and all the temptations that come from that deficit. Invited on all hands to driuk, and their exhausted nervous system seem ing to demand stimulus. Their religion caricatured by the most of the clerks In the store and most ot the operatives In the factory. The rapids of temptation and death rushing against that young man forty miles the hour, and he in a frail boat headed up stream, with nothing but a broken oar to work with. Unless Almighty God help them they will go under. An. when I told you to take care or your self you misunderstood me If you thought I meant you are to depend upon human resolution, whioh mny be dissolved In the foam of the wine cup or may be blown out with the first gust of temptation. Here is the helmet, the sword ot tho Lord God Almighty. Clothe yourself In that panoply, and you shall not be put to confusion, bin ays well neither In tuls world nor the next, ul right thinking and right believing ami right acting will take you In safety through this lite ana in transport through the next. l never snail lorget a prayer l neara a Joung man make some fifteen years ago. t was a very short prayor. but it was a tremendous prayer: "O Lord, help usl We nna ie so very easy to ao wrong ana so hard to do rlghtl Lord, help usl" That prayer, I warrant you, rescued the ear of Ood and reached Bis heart. And there art 100 men who have found out 1000 young men, perhaps, who have found out that very thing. It is to very easy to do wrong and so hard to do right. I got a letter one day, only one para, graph, which I shall read: "Having moved around somewhat, 1 have run across many young men of intel ligence, ardent striven after that will-o'-the-wisp fortune and ot one ot these I would speak. He was a young Englishman of twenty-three or twenty-tour years, who came to New York, where he had no ac quaintances, with barely sufficient to keep him a couple of weeks. He had been ten derly reared, perhaps I should say too ten derly, and was not used to earning his living and found it extremely difficult to get any position that he was capable of till lng. After many vain efforts In this direction he found himself on a Sunday evening in Brooklyn, near yourohurch, with about 3 left of his small capital. Providence seemed to lead him to your door, and he determined to go in and near you. He told me his going to hear you that night was undoubt edly the turning point in his life, for when he went into your churoh he felt desper ate, but while listening to your discourse his better nature got the mastery. I truly believe from what this young man told me that your sounding the depths of his heart that night alone brought him back to his God whom he was so near leaving." That is the echo of multitudes. I am not preaching an abstraction, but a great reality. O friendless young man, O prodigal young man, O broken hearted young man, dlscouragod young man, wounded youna man. I commend to vou Christ this day, the best friend a man ever had. He meets you this morning. De spise not that emotion rising in vour soul; It is divinely lifted. Look Into the face of Christ. Lift one prayer to your father's God, to your mother's God, and this morn ing get the pardoning blessing. Now, while I speak, you are at tho forks of the road, and this is tho right road, aud that is the wrong road, and I soe you start on the right road. One Hahbnth morning at the close of the service I saw a gold watch of the world renowned and deeply lamented violinist, Ole Bull. You remember he died in his Island home off the const of Norway. Thnt gold watch hu had kept wound up dny after day through his last Illness, and then he said to his companion, "Now, I want to wind this watch as long us I can, and thon when I am gone I want you to keep It wound up until It goes to my friend. Dr. Doromus, In New York, and thon he will keep It wound up until his lite Is done, and theu I want the watch to go to his young soil, my especial favorite." The great musician who more thnn any other artist hnd nindn the violin speak, aud sing, and weep, and liitigh, and triumph for it seemed when ho drew the bowacross the strings as If nil earth and heaven shiv ered in delighted sympathy tho great musician. In a room looking off upon tho sen. and surrounded by his favorite Instru ments of music, closed his eyes In death. While all the world was mourning at his departure sixteen crowded steamers foil Into line of funeral procession to carry his body to the mainland. There wer ) 50,000 of his con n try men gathered lu an amphithea ter of the hills waiting to hear tho euloglum, nnd It was said when tho great orator of tho day with sten torian voice began to speak tlm 50, 000 people on the hillsides burst 'into tears. Oh, that was tho close of a life that hnd done ho much to make tho world happy! But I have to tell you, young man, If you live right nnd die right, that was a tainescone compared with that which will greet you when from the galleries of heaven tho 144.000 shall accord with Christ In cry ing, "Well dono, thou good and faithful servant!" And the influences that on earth you put in motion will go down from gen eration to generation, tho Influences you wound up banded to your children, and their influences wound up and handed to their children, until watch nnd dock aro no more needed to mnrk tho progress, bo- cause time Itself shall bo no longer. HORSES WANTED IN ALASKA. They Are Worth From S'40 to S40 on the Klondike. Cattlemen are buying horses for from $1 to (6 east of tho Cascade Mountains in Washington and selling them readily for from $20 to Hi) for Klondike packing pur poses. The horses will bo used to pack supplies over the mountain passes, and, ral.i.n Ihnv nn n hn n.ail n n Innin.r fnr nriv. lng purposes thoy will be driven to D City oJici sold for dog mout at ten cents per For several years horses have been a drug on tho market.

This moat bus sold freely In Japnn aud Europe, but on the l'acllUV.'coast canned horso Is not sal able, ficveral cattlemen have already cleared largo sums on tho sale of horses for tho Klondike country. The Indian tribes of the coast ranges have also realized handsomely on tho demand tor good pack ponies. JAPAN IS HARD UP. Treasury Said to He Hcrlously Kinbar- ranted For Iteady Money. The Japnuese Government is seriously embarrassed financially owing to tho rapid pace nt whioh the nation bos been going since the wur with China. Civilization has necessitated Increased expenditures in every direction, particu larly in building railroads, telegraph lines, new Government buildings, improving harbors and strengthening the army and navy. 'rue treasury was not directly benefited by the big war Indemnity paid by China, because it has been kept in England to pay for new war ships aud armament. Owing to the Increased expenditures during tho past year ail tne uovernment s reserve funds are exhausted. There Is great need of rain in Korea, and the Governor has sent priests to the moun tains to petition the gods for showers. It is certain large Importations of grain will bo necessary. A WARNINC TO THE COLD SEEKERS. Hardships Sure and starvation For Many Almost Certain. L. M. Turner, who has spent eleven years In Alaska and tho Arctic regions in tho em ploy of the Government, says lu nn inter view: "It is about time to call a bait on this mad rush to the Klondike gold Holds, Hundreds ot men aro going as far as thoy can, relying on others to help them. That help will be meagre enough and scores will certainly endure hardships that death ulone will rolleve. The transportation companies cannot possibly accommodate the number going by way of Bt. Michaels. The small river steamers will not afford room for one-third the number going by the route. The provisions will have to be fur nished .by the transportations companies, and two-thirds of the passengers will board at Ht. Michaels or along the Yukon, and they will not see Dawson City until next spring. Many ot those who go by the way of Dyea will be compelled to winter at the headwaters ot the Yukon." Now OHlcUlly "Klondike." It was officially decided by tuo'Geo logloal Survey, Washington, that in the future the name ot the river on which the gold Holds nre located should be spelled with an 1 Instead ot y, as has been observed heretofore. The spelling has been more frequently Klondyke than Klondike, but the latter is now tho correct way. Crash or OSsce Beckers.

The Magdeburg Gntette, probably the oldest newspaper In Germany, lnt' month celebrated its 250th anniver sary. It It still conducted by represen tatives of the Faber family, which founded it in 1G47, Just nt the close of the TWrty Years' War. The present heads of the venerable Journalistic dy nasty are the two brothers, Robert nnd Alexander Faber, perpetuating m line almost s century and a half older than that which rules over the London Times, tho greatest If not the oldest of newspapers.

Brlllat-Savarin long ago stated that the great Frenchmen Huffoa and Vol taire drnnk enormous quantities ot coffee, to their deadly hurt; and b declared thnt a person might take two bottles of wine a dsy without Injury during a long life, but that by a almUat Indulgence In coffee be would become an Idiot or die of consumption. The Inordinate use of tea and coffee la now well-known, and Is admitted, even by tenfperance physicians, to be more dan gerous than that of alcohol Dr. Al fred Crespl, In the Health News, has Just been adding his testimony to that of others.

It is a fact which admits of no argument that a school teacher's task is a severe one indeed, and it requires a perfect system and steady nerves to be able to conduct a class-room in a proper manner. That Ripans Tabulcs help to keep the system in perfect order and strengthen the nerves is testified to by a prominent school teacher in Philadelphia, who says: "I have been teaching the Ninth Grade in the George M. Wharton School for the past eight years, and it is a hard matter to comprehend what a task I have every season when I get in a new set of pupils froi the lower sections. You sec it requires great patience and assiduity to discipline and educate boys, and the task is a very arduous one. Especially is this the case during the examinations, when the work is very exacting and the drain on the system extensive. From leaning over my books and marking up papers for five or six hours at a time I get a headache and my entire system gets shattered, but a Ripans Tabule always straightens me up, and next morning I am ready for the task over again, feeling as fresh as ever from the effects of the magic Tabule taken on the previous night. It is certainly a wonderful remedy for nervousness and invigorating a wasted system, and in this I voice the sentiments of all the teachers in my section, every one of whom has used them with equally beneficial results." a now ityl packtt anntainln nt wriM Tuvum In paper mrton (without ttu-.i ta now for mlr at Kim iniff tor..ri nva cmr.
