CHURCH OF The DIVINE PArER WTY.

Sermon by Rev. DIR. Chapin-sHnliOwcd be
Thy Name.o
AS usual there was highly fashionable congrega-
t0n at the Church Of the Divine Paternity yesterday
Rev. DR.. CnapIn took the text OF his discourse from
sixth chapter and ninth OF the gospel accord
ing to Matthew-"Hallowed by Thy name.' The
preacher commenced by observing that the subject
to which he had called their attention last Sunday
morning could have hardly be said to be completed
even in its outline without some consideration OF the
words now before them. He TOOK for his text this
day
''HALLowED BE THY NAsE,n
because these words and the text OF his discourse
on the preceding Sunday-"Our Father. which art In
Heaven''-were necessarily part Of the sentence,
which would not be complete without 1t. If we in
vokcd God as 'our Father in hcayen,n then we must
say ''Hallowed DC Thy name" We could not sup
pose that IN giving US this form OF prayer our Sa
viour gave US merely a form OF words. There was
no accidental, no arbitrary Iormaty III the words OF
the text. Ii we rightly conceived the meaning OF
the invocation "Our Fa'ner VINO art IN heayen,"
we should say "Hallowed be Tny name" Let us, IN
the first place, try 10 understand what that sentence
meant az 10 stood by itsell--"Hailowed be Thy

the essential meaning OF this petition when We
prayed TO God himself to tie made holy. Herein was
tue simplest recognition OF God. We prayed that
Gods name might be hallowed because we recog-
nized Him as holy. Consider the hidden relauoDs
between these two Introductory sentences Of
the Lords Prayer. Observe how the con-
ception OF the Divine Father mingled there with
the conception OF the divine holiness. On the other
hand, observe how the Acknowledgement OF the
Divine Being as holy flowed out OF the recognition
OF the Father. We conceived that God was holy
because we conceived that He was infinitely good.
Thus

man must look for himself, so managing
as to prefer certainty to contingencies, and
shaping his occupation in such manner as
to avoid, as far as possible, the hazards
he cannot prevent. When individuals
leach one for himselD learn to prefer the
actual production Of wealth to the mere
handling of the money or goods of other
people, those SO choosing will benefit
themselves, at any rate, whate 5er may be-
come of public questions. Problems,
political, economical, commercial, or pure
ly speculative, arev very pleasant to discuss,
except when you permit your daily bread
to depend upon them. Very few men can
talk themselves into bread and butter, or
wait for ''the good time coming" unless
they have the wherewiihal TO live upon in
the uncertain interim between the prophe-
cy and its fulfillment. 1t is world in
which there is always something to do.
Young men, and those who have the direc-
ton Of the future, should train them to
choose the independence of productive
employment, rather than the chances
of making profit from Other
mems labors. Merchants and dealers
are useful and necessary members
of society; but there can be no merchants
without merchandise. The men who pro
duce the stock are indispensable, and thei
calling is as honorable as any other, ant
the most useful of all.

SENATOR HOWE, of Wisconsin, is in
trouble, and has been laboring with great
emphasis lately TO shield the extremists
from the imputations of constitution eva
sions and revolutionary enactments. 1t
is remarkable with what facility a loop
hole of escape is found, when confronted
with a palpable violation of the express
words of the constitution. He labored
the other day to satisfy himself and his
coadjutOrs, at least, that every act of re-
construction and supplements thereto, as
well as ali other legislation by Congress,
have been in strict consOnance with the
organic law. Like Senator Sumner, the
Wisconsin extremists seem brought to
the conviction that any legislation for the
so-called advancement of human progress
meaning of course the elevation of the
African over the Caucasian-is legitimate
and proper, though it should be in fra
grant violation of every clause of the
constitution.

THE MYSTERIES OF WALL
STREET.

Mr.. James X. Medberry has recently
written a book on the ''Men and Mystic
ries of Wall Street." in which a good
many secrets are told that will interest
persons who are not familiar with opera
tons On the Stock Exchange, and as to
how fortunes are made and lost in an in
credibly short time, as it is very complete
in the details of the machinery of specula-
ton in that great thoroughfare. The init
mate relations between railway directors
and the Stock Exchange is strikingly il
Illustrated in the following extract:
Railway directors are the heavy ar
tillery of the stock market, and no corner
can attain Napoleonic victories without
them. An important feature in this spec
ulation is to know who are the real hCd-
ers of stock. This can be discovered most
expediiiously by an examination of the
transfer books; and, of these, the directors
hold the key. They also can alone check
the influx of newly rustling share"
On this subject, the book contains the
following episode in the life of the veteran
Jacob Little:
''It was this satisfactory reliance which
upheld famous Jacob Little when in a
great strait. lie had been selling Erie for
future delivery. He was no one, knows
how many hundred thousand short in the
stock. Every broker in the Board COM
bined against him. On settlement day,
as the story goes, he walked up Wall
street with serene cOuntenance, while the
JOY Of cxpectant disaster CLEANED darby
and sc0rnfully at him from a hundred
eyes. lie had been long known as the
Napoleon of the Exchange, and all the
brokers said that two o'clock would be
his Waterloo. At one p. NJ. he stepped
into the Erie Offices, presented block of
convertible bonds, and demanded instan-
ianeous surrender of equivalent shares.
Then he rode round to his office, and the
startled Stock Board found that Butcher
and night had comel Daniel Drew in
similar extremity had mounted the Erie
stairway time and again on the same er-
rand, and with like success"
Convertible bonds have been the cause
of disaster to many CORNERS" in Wall
street, and have brought more than one
leader from wealth to poverty, The ne
cessity of having railway directors and
managers interested in all pools and cor
ners is seen by the following extract in
regard to the celebrated Milwaukee and
ST. Paul corner:
"The celebrated corner in Milwaukee
and ST. Paul was undertaken without the
safeguard of cooperating direction. The
feature Of this speculation was the en-
ploymcnt of calls instead of buyers OPP
lions. lis master-mind was Garner. The
stock was selling at AZ in January; and
the operator bought calls at twelve months,
covering the whole capital stock-paying
$500. 600 in premiums. He then put his
broker into the Boards, with orders to bid
it up, and by October it was quoted at
Ill. At this point the direction voted an
issues of shares upon CON
struction' pretcxt, and the market at once
broke to 81.

THE EFFECT OFTuE REyERsA


The Supreme Court of the United
States recently decided that it is not
within the power of Congress, under the
present Constitution, to make the paper
promises of the Government legal tender
for debts previously contracted. 1t seems
to be taken for granted by the press gen.
orally that the re-hearing of the argument
has been granted by the court for the ex-
press purpose of using the two newly ap-
pointed Justices to reverse this decision.
The Journal Of Commerce, In noticing
this corrupt arrangement, dwells upon the
dishonor brought upon the whole country
in such degradation of its highest judica-
tory. To pack jury for the sake of Sc
curing a verdict not warranted by the
evidence, it thinks, is a venial crime CON-
pared with this wholesale corruption of
the very fountain of justice.
But Git adds there is a more practical
aspect of the question which it may be
well enough to consider. As the case now
stands the court has simply declared that
after a debt has been contracted with the
implication that it is to be paid in coin of
a given standard, the Government cannot
step in and legally compel the creditor to
accept payment in another and wholly
different medium. This would seem to
be but the simplest justice between man
and man. A buyer contracts for cargo
of oats at a given price while the legal
standard is thirty-two pounds 10 the bush
ell. Before they are delivered Congress
enacts that twenty four pounds shall con.
stitute bushel. If this applies to previ-
Gus contracts then the buyer must take
one-fourth less oats for the price agreed
upon. There is in equity no differ
ence between this and law
which should allow the buyer to
pay FOR the oats at 80 Tbs to the bushel in
currency worth one quarter less than the
money actually promised when the bar
gain was concluded. But our readers
will see that the injustice of such legisla-
ton as appliedto existing contracts would
be only small part of its evil influence.
1t would unsettle trade for all time to
come. Once let it be understood that
Congress may legally apply whatever it
chooses to qualify for this purpose to the
payment of any pre-existing debt and the
foundation of credit is wholly overthrown.
Such a judgment may be rendered, but
it cannot stand. Those who now clamor
for it will be among the first to seek its
overthrow when they find the peril it in
wolves in its far-reaching results. Moth
ing is ever settled until it rests on right
and justice; and the honest people of this
country will not consent to live in the
constant apprehension of being despoiled
of their earnings under the color of law.
