SIN..ITS HISTORY.

Whoever will investigate the matter, will
find that some sins are confined, mainly, to
certain classes of society. The rich have their
peculiar sins, and the poor have their peculiar
sins. Agur, the son Of Jakeh, prayed to God
to give him neither poverty nor riches. In
each of these states he would De liable to sin.
If he were rich he would, like other rich men,
be led to say, "Who is the Lore 20 If he were
poor, like other poor men, he would be tempted
to steal, and thus sin agains; God. A man
may be so poor that it will be exceedingly diff
cult for him to retain his honesty. And man
may be so rich that he will find it hard to be-
lieve that he is constantly dependent upon God.
There are sins of childhood, of youth, Of
middle age and of old age Men and women
never get too old to sin, and children begin to
sin as soon as they begin to ACT. Children are
not apt to commit the sins to which old men
and old women are addicted, neither are old
men and women likely to commit the sins in
which young persons indulge.
There is another feature of sn which should
not be overlooked. Physicians say of dis
ease that it has become an epidemic. It is
widespread one, or neatly every one in
the neighborhood, is sick with the disease. 1t
is among the people generally. Now, some
sins, at particular times and in particular To-
calities, become epidemic. Itis said that when
Charles the Second was restored to the throne
of England, that the Nation got drunk.
Drunkenness became an epidemic 1t spread
over the whole land, just like some terrible
disease.
It sometimes frequently-happens that ep-
idemics are complicated. Measles, whooping-
cough and pneumonia, all prevail at the same
time, amongst the same people. Any one OF
these diseases, when it becomes epidemic, is
alarming; but when several prevail in the
same community, at the same time, it is fear
fully alarming. The graveyards are filled up,
and the number of those who sleep within their
walls increased Just 80 tits with that moral
disease the Bible calls sin. Sometimes several
sins, or sin under several forms, becomes epi-
demic. Then the people are in danger. He'll
enlarges itself, and multitudeS 60 down to the
pit
In fact, sin is almost always complicated.
The thief is always a liar, the gambler is al
ways dishonest, and who ever saw drunkard
who was not a profane swearer2 Gambling,
drinking, lying and swearing these all 60 to-
gether, and they lead to destr lction.
At present, the moral epidelaics of our coun-
try are drunkenness and profane swearing.
The widespread ravages of these sins are alarm
ing. God, who positively declares that he will
not allow his name to be taken in vain, is in a
number of ways manifesting his Indignation,
and homes, once bright and happy, are over
spread with the drapery of grief and anguish.
When will these fearful epidernics cease to pre-
vail, and their heart-rending ravages come to
an end? ..-..

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many rose in the road of life.
If we would only stop to take it;
And many a tone from the better land
If the querulous heart would make it;
To the sunny soul that is full Of hope,
And those beautiful trusts ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the winter storm prevalent.
There is many q gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the ieweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love ofa little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For cup of water given.
Better 10 weave in the web Of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for tangled ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder.

twenty years of age, and thin. wasted, sick
ly looking young man a year or two older
No one would have mistrusted that they were
eoping, had not the young man asked the
conductor if there was clergyman on the
train. There was none, and the young man
explained to the passengers around him that
he was in bad fix. He had come down
from Bath township in buggy, and he was
quite sure that the girls father would take
the other road down to Chicago junction, and
there board the Lansing train and raise row.
He was not much on a row, but yet he loved
the girl, and they we're bound to marry. If
the old man came alone he thought he could
bluff him of, but if his two big sons came
along the scale would be turned. He there
fore wanted to know of man wearing red
woolen shirt and coonskin cap if he would
stand by him.
"You bet will was the hearty response.

When the whistle blew for the junction,

halted he put his arms around Mary and took
one of her hands in his. The old man and
his two sons were on hand, and they piled
into the car pellmell.
"Here she isp' called the father, as he
caught sight of the girl, and the three made

as he looked up.
"Who are you, sir?

He gave Mary squeeze and Mary looked
"Come along, Mary-come right home
with me!' ordered the father.

The father seized Mary and the sons selzed

made for the door. Coonskin followed, arms
and feet working like a trip. hammer, and
when the train moved off the father sat on a
box with big woolen mitten held to his
nose, one of the sons was pulling loose teeth
from bis jaw and the other boy was cropping
his way to snow. bank.

lover returned, resume yer seat, take her
