Now let ,s suppose condition 6

limited to s2,O0O,OOu month, and
free coinage to silver. Then the

coined, would be at disconut Ard II
the coinage OF gold should exceed
two million dollars month, 70 the

shows that there would he an excess

include myself in the waiting curse. That
women should be sitting and making twelve
of your carpetbags for eighteen pence, that
women should be standing day by day be-
hind the counter till their limbs swell and
blacken and they can stand no longer; that
women should be made to decorate your ap-
parel at wages which will not give them one
single hour of relaxation or wholesome
country air-what is this but preferring
devils to Christ do not know where the
wrong is, altogether; 1t is not wrong you
can lay your five fingers upon and throttle
tits widespread wrong and nobody is re-
sponsible Doth not he that pondereth the
heart consider When he maketh inquisi-
tion for blood will he not identify this and
that man, and yonder fine lady, and demand
the price, It is not an easy question; there
are faults on many sides, and probably the
whole fault cannot be accumulated and set
down at any one mans door. Therefore /
would speak with forbearance as to the di-
rect application Of these doctrines in par
ticular instances, but still do not let us run
away from the solemn fact that there are
people in the world who would set trade
above man. And there are those who cal
culate the expense of social regeneration,
there are journals that calculate how much
the missionary societies have expended, how
many conversions they can trace, and they
have divided the one set of figures by the
other. What can you expect from such
men ? Incapable Of religious enthusiasm
they are incapable OF social justice. There
are those who would ask how many swine
there were and how many men were cured,
and they would divide the one set Of figures
by the other, and talk about the statistical
result. ] hold that if one soul can be con-
verted in this house it was worth building
the place for if it should be burnt down to-
| day. We should work for men, our whole
passion should be human if one poor little
child could say TO me, "Till your church
was built | never knew Christ having come
to it see him now to be fairest among ten
thousand and altogether lovely, and give
myself right to him If he will take so un.
worthy thing IF that could be the re-
suit Of this ministry, it was worth all the
trouble and all the money, ten thousand
times ten thousand over and over again, and
multiplied by the number of all the stars OF
heaven. Let us take this view of our work
1t is something to enliven human heart
to tighten one human burden, to dry one hu
man tear. If l could have the Joy Of think
ing that this had been done by any exposi
tion of this narrative, whatever might be
set upon the other side would be less thar
the small dust of the balance.---J. Parker.

Have Children Sing at Home.

Urge Sunday-school men all over this ma
ton to have the children carry home their
song-books and sing at home. Churches
and Sunday-schools lock up all their hymn
books six days out of seven, and the result
is, very little is being done for home. Our
singing would be so much better on Sundays
if the children sang and played the hymns
and tunes at home. think that was the
reason why we had such splendid singing in
Baltimore. Bands and hand-organs were
playing the tunes, and boys were whistling
them on the street, and you could hear the
songs on nearly every street you passed
through. But the singing is getting flat
again all over the country in the churches
In some of the cities it is terrible. There is
hardly church in them that sings we'll
the singers are gone up to the organ-loft, and
many of them are unconverted. Now fol
the objection that will be raised that the
children will carry the books home and for
get to bring them back. The way to meet
that is to let all the children buy their books
They are not 80 poor but they can do that
Or let the school pay for one-half, and lei
the scholar pay for the other half. Then
the scholar will own his book and will take
GOOD care of it. Let the superintendent
urge the scholars to bring their books with
them. Let the school keepa few for visitors
and those who forget to bring their books
In this way, inside of six months we viii
have better singing by far than we have evel
had IN this country. There is no trouble in
getting the people to get book if we speak
to them about it. We are trying this plan
in our Chicago school and it works. 1t
can't help IT'D. L. Moody.

The Certainty Of the Gospel.

The frmest thing in the universe is that
cross on which the worlds Rsdeemer was
crucifed. Though shadows and gloom gath
cred around that scene of suffering, yet the
suffering has passed and all gloom aud dark
ness have passed with 1t, and higher and
brighter than the SUI shines forth the trans
figured face of our assembled Lord. No
eclipse will ever shadow this effulgent truth
Whose believeth in me shall have eternal
life, and | will raise him up at the last day"
We come to-day unto the cross Of Christ and
lay our hands on his eternal strength. Thou
sands before us have done it and found rest.
Tremulous age has trusted here and lost its
weakness. Penitence has resorted here aud
found its confidence. Suffering has fled
here for help and discovered its strength.
Ten thousand times ten thousand and thou
sands of thousands, when passing through
the prostration and mystery of death, have
turned an eye and put forth hand to the
cross of him who was lifted up to draw all
men unto him, and smiles Of confidence have
driven away the shadows of the grave
Come to-day, and lay your hand upon the
cross and say 81 know whom | have be
lieved, and that he is able to keep that
have committed unto him against that day.
Stand by the cross, and leaning upon its
strength, exclaim am persuaded that nei.
ther death, nor life, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature, shall be able
to separate us from the love of God which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord."-W. adams, d.

The Blind Water.rat.
The touching lines of Coleridge's Rhine
of the Ancient Mariner " were recalled the
other day by the reading of an incident

The touching lines of Coleridge's d" Rhine
of the Ancient Mariner were recalled the
other day by the reading of an incident
He prayeth well who oveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best who loveth best
All things, both great aud small;
For the dear God, who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
The incident was about water-rat which
an English gentleman saw while fishing in
a gentle, flowing stream. The sun, shining
brightly, showed him the rat crossing the
water, not six yards from him. Intercept
ing its passage by gentle touch of his rod,
he caused it to dive. But quickly rising it
reached the shore, where it ran backward
and forward several times, upon the narrow
strip of gravel between the stream and the
bank. AS there were several rat holes in
the bank, the angler was puzzled to under
stand why the little creature did not take
shelter in one of them. He shouted several
times, but it continued its search for hole,
till at last it stood still. As if in despair,
it sat upright, with its face raised direct to
the sun, aud its fore-legs held upward, the
very attitude man would take in prayer.
On approaching it noiselessly, the angler
saw that the poor rat was blind. "a more
touching appeal to mans compassion" he
wrote, az cannot conceive, and who shall
say but that, as it sat there, it did not in
some way appeal for light aud guidance to
the Father Of Light / withdrew as gently
as could, aud looking back soma minutes
after saw it still in the same prayerful at
titude"

A Wonderful Sermon.

We quote from Richard Henry Dana's
paper in Scribner, on the late President
Leonard Woods of Bowdoin College "Some
thirty years ago, it had been announced that
President Woods was to preach in what is
now the parish church Of the Advent, in
Bowdoin street, but was then in the posses
sion of Congregational society, under the
pastorate of the Rev. DR.. Winslow. The
house was well filled. President Woods
spoke apparently without even notes. He
spoke for nearly an hour and half, Of a
warm summer afternoon, to congregation
which had been used to set their mental
chronometer to twenty or thirty minutes.
Yet it was a case of Conticuere omnes, inten-
tique ora tenebunt from first to last. There
was not only attention, but an excited,
glowing attention. His subject was The
Delayed Justice of God, the text being Be
cause sentence against an evil work is not
executed speedily, therefore, etc. For this
space of time, and his purpose, he was the
master OF every one in the house, and DR..
Winslow, in his concluding prayer, was so
carried away that he entered unconsciously
upon eulogy on the preacher, in thanking
the Almighty for the great privilege we
had enjoyed that day. At this time 1t was
rarely if ever that a preacher of the ortho-
dox sects took examples or illustrations
from elsewhere than the Scriptures but in
this discourse 1t seemed that, as was said of
Burke, there had gone out a decree that all
the world should be taxed. He drew his il
lustrations from all history, from all the
known experience of mankind. As 1 have
said, it is more than twenty-five years since
| heard that sermon but l can repeat,
think, perbatim many Of its finest passages,
and retain clear memory of its thought
and order. After some years, happening to
speak with a scholarly and thoughtful man
on the subject of sermons, he said that the
best he had ever heard was by President
Woods in the old westinghouse in Bowdoin
street on the delayed justice of God, and he
proceeded to describe it. Again, at New
York, at a gathering of men Of letters, the
subject of best sermons was started, and
one of the number a man of high repute as
a writer, said that, CHANGING to be in Boston
of a Sunday, some years before, he went
to hear President Woods, at Bowdoin
street, and there heard a discourse on the
delayed justice of God, which had ever re-
mained In his mind the ideal sermon. Thus,
the only three persons know to have heard
it, give it the first place; aud doubt If any
intelligent hearer on that day will fail, even
now, to acquiesce in this judgment"

England. From all we can hear, the west
ern farmers are worse off than we are. In
terest is higher there than here, and mort
cages and trust deeds have sharper snap
TO them. Governor Smith Of Vermont told
us truly last year when he said the local
rates Of freight are quite as hard on the
farmer west as east. 1t is only on the
transportation of the surplus crops between
the great cities, after they have passed from
the farmers hands into those OF the specu-
lator, that the low through rates are given.
The fact that all the farmers movements"
begin in the west indicates that there the
shoe pinches hardest We advise every
farmer TO contract his business TO the size
of his cash capital. A farm paid for is
always better than farm owed for. Small
farms well titled develop wondrous power
of production, especially when the owner is
out of debt with little cash in hand. We
must cut our coats according to our cloth.
When the interests of the farming class are
fairly represented in the administration of
public affairs, and burdens are fairly ad-
justed, farmers may be able to extend their
operations by a moderate use Of credit. But
now they had better hole up, and If possible
draw their holes in after them. We are not
alone in these opinions. We study the
reports of farmers meetings all over the
country, and we see the same views con-
stantly receiving expression. We do not
consider the condition of the farming class
as essentially different from that of the
other industrial and trading classes. All
are under the harrow of the overshadowing
financial and commercial monopolies. There
is no margin left for profit in any credit
transactions by the "small fry" of pro
ducers and tradesmen at this time. All the
profit is absorbed by the big concerns and
the moneyed interest 1t is said that the
annual increase of wealth in the United
States is now about ssOO,0OO,0O0, four-fifths
of which can be almost directly traced into
the pockets of few Thousand men con
nected with finance and transportation.

Too Many Changes.

The recurring complaints about the ineffi-
cheney and bungling of our legislatures have
some reason behind them which ought to
become apparent in the course of time and
observation. One reason that has become
apparent is the practice of sending a new
man every time. A green hand cannot be-
come an expert legislator in eight or ten
weeks, no matter how smart he may be.
The voters fool perilously with their own in
terests when they allow the silly ambition
of Tom, Dick and Harry TO "represent the
town " TO deter them from selecting an in
telligent and honest citizen, and keeping
him in the legislature as long as he will
serve The principle has been recognized
in regard to our congressman and especially
our senators. Yet the state representatives
stay two years and the senators six years in
congress, while the members of our legisla-
ture have but few weeks session. One of
the most valuable men in our late legisla-
ture was Justus Dartt, farmer whom his
neighbors have sent to represent them three
times in succession. He is a man Of ex-
actly the right stamp, no Office seeker, but
faithful when put in office. Almost every
town can find such man TO serve them if
the voters will look for him. The men who
seek office are not the men we want Let us
seek for the right one and keep him as long
as we can, Then we shall not be scolding
about the stupid work at Montpelier at
the end of every session. 1t is the people,
mostly, who are to blame for this, and they
alone can remedy the difficulty.
