Of our government as the intelligence In fact, one
OF the crying evils OF our day is the witt drawsl
from practical politics of the cultured and educated
classes. These the men who stay at hons ad
sulk over the sad state of things. They say "the
body polite is dirty but refuse to soil their dainty
hands i'll washing it, This is deathblow at govern
ment by the people. In land where .the collected
assert his will and intelligence Another
istic OF our form of government is that it Is based
the devotion OF its citizens This is easily seen if the
bugle note Of war is sounded. We have no standing
army that is worthy of the name when compared
with the forces of European nations. Hence. in al.
emergency, We need devotion to the country in or
der TO supply the Executive with force to perform
the peoples will. We not far enough off, in point
of time, from Fort Sumter or Lincoln's prociu,nn
tons to complain that our people lack this sort OF
devotion. No one can say that Americans arc not
willing to fight for their country. There is anothec
that is devotion to the ordinary routine of public
affairs. These they leave too often in the hand Of
the worst elements In society.
THE PRIMARY MEETING.
wish could impress this fact upon yonr minds
that under our form of government it must ALWAYS
remain fact that the primary meeting largely de-
termines the selection OF ofiice-holders Hence if
We would purify the State legislatures and the
upper and lower houses of Congress we must tlrsi
purity and redeem the primary. In other words il
would have sweet odors in the chambers of our
dwellings we must remove foul stenches from tina
cellar. In discharging the second OF these duties
the young American should be willing to devote
himself to the service of the Statenot necessarily
by applying for post Office, although it would
not be bad thing for some few honest men
to do that-but he should be willing to
serve the State personally, for the State
needs to-day the service of honest far
more urgently than the Church needs the service
of able ministers. And every one knows that tho
latter is better of than ii should be. The fact
stands that American politics the proportion of
good men to bad is the surface of cream to the
bowl of milk. with this difference that. unlike the
cream. with rare exceptions the good men do not
rise to the top. But more important than this the
young patriot will not neglect his ballot. He will
vote-not "early and Often" AZ was the custom
under the Tweed rtg,me--but wisely and regularly.
He will appreciate the fact that this land the bal
lot is ''mghtier than the sword;" that it is the
source Of all authority; and so with good COM
science he will vote the ticket of his choice.

POLITICAL DUTY OF YOUNG MEN.

l introduce this sermon at this point out of tho
regular order Of the course. because 1t is timely.
and will simply say for the benefit of those
who think OF all discourse political topics
inappropriate to the pulpit that my definition of
the work OF the Christian teacher compels me to
regard everything that Affects the moral, social

its Legitimate sphere. That q conscientious dis
charge the part OF all citizens OF their political
duties would happily Affect both the moral and
social life OF our times and lay the basis of finer
and trucr spiritual life cannot DO doubted.
Upon your course in the future depend tho well
fare and progress of the nation. The spirit in which
young men survey their responsibilities must
greatly influence the destinies of the Republic They
are to make the history of the next twenty-five
years. Young men who acknowledge all this and
wish to take up nantully their part In political
AFFAIRS are disinayed aud amazed at the Babel like
confusion which perIneates political lie.
SHOULD PARTICIPATE
First must ask you to think for little time or
the poculiarities OF form of government. This
is necessary, as the complexion OF the government
determines the nature of the citizens duty Under
monarchy IL is right to say "iear God aud honor
tho king;" under u republic, fear God ana vote

characteristcs OF republican form of government
is that 1t is based the intelligent participation Of

A story is told of great French artist, which finely illustrates hi knowledge of human nature. He was travelling in Germany, in entire ignorance of its language and cur rency. Having obtained some small change for some of his French coins he used to pay drivers and others in the following manner: Taking a handful of the nuismatical speci- mons from his pocket, he counted them, one by one, into the creditors hand, keeping his eye fixed all the time on the receivers face As soon as he perceived the least twinkle of a smile he took back the last coin deposited in the hand and returned it, with the remainder to his pocket He afterward found that in pursuing this method he had not overpaid for anything.
