REV. I. NJ. HALDEMAN TALKS EXCLUSIVE.

Avenue BapJist Church. lastheveuIng
The great question that should con @
before Us all In this da, anu generation.
is our iure, and W. ShOul,I stop awhile
aud consider 1t IN its various ! Ii Ses. 1t
is for this purpose that have called you
together to-hght, that We may reason
caudidIy together, a1d come 10 some
c"ncluSion about the vital question,
whose iDporGauce causes il 10 suggest
itsolt COP. tan'ly. Now where are the
great men Of the past--our Newtons, our
Ralcighs, and our Buuyons? Where
ATE the past gen. raiious, thoSe who have
been dean for de cades They have gone
through the shadowy portal of ID, atb,
where you are al-o going. Where hav.
they gone? Where are you going? You
are gong TO d. aih; where VIII you be in
countless ages after that? Does death
end all?
Fn,uro character In the next world Is
fixed by acdon in this. As long as we
are moral aud religious all will be well.
But visits to dance houses, and grog
shops and gambling saloons, as hOine OF
you indulge IN, is not the way to secure
that result Now let me ask you candi-
diy, how much pleasure have YOU gotten
out of thus course of fconductYiUu should
not do so. do not object 10 the cup Of

force iE ourselves that will enable us Il

| To do this We must simply accept God

must know that We are purs in heart; We
must have the evidences of sins forgiven
The bible will not give us this evidence

and that all we owe God liz our service

[ SOFTLY ON TIPTOE STEALING.

A JEwELER SUDDENLY LEAVES THE
CITY-owNERs OF JEwELRY MOURN
HIS LOSS.
A short time ago, William Bergen,
jeweler with flowing black locks, black
eyes and moustache, afoer having worked
at several of our jewellers as a journey
man, for some time determined to enter
business for himself, and accordingly he
leased the store No. POP w. Second street
belong TO Nj. Thomas McCorkle, and
opened with an unassumng display of
stock. At first things went along swim
mingly for a time, but this state OF all airs
it would appear was not destined to last
long. Business began to drOop and so
did the spirits ofthe young German. OBJ
legations came in to be settled, but there
was TO money to Sc tie them. This
state of affairs had depressing effect,
and he began to look around for some
way to avert the impending storm.
After cneitating for some time he con
cludeIt to leave the city. Acting upon Ibis
determination some time during the still
hours of last night, while the moon was
gently smiling, he quietly packed what
goods he had in his store, and like the
Arab, "folded his tent and silently Sole
away" but where, 10 one knows. He
not only took what goods belonged to
him, but also several articles belonging
to other persons, which had been left
there for repairs. Among the articles
was breaslpin, valued at five dollars,
belonging to George Crawford also
about a dozen silver wa ches belong ing
to various persons. The owners of the ar
tcles above mentioned, now mourn his
loss, as do also several creditors. The
places that have known him, will know
