The preacher compared sin with death.
Death says; Il rob the young of their days,
the strong of their strength, the beautiful of
their beauty and the rich of their treasures.
steal from the maiden's cheek its flush,
and while she is yet rejoicing in the honey
moon of her marriage | snatch the orange
blossoms from her brow and place them in
a funeral wreath on her coffin. touch the
hearts of powerful men and stop the pendu-
lum of their existence. My armies of dis.
ease 80 over the universe, carrying my siege
into every land. The music love is the
sigh. of affection, the cry of the orphan and
the swapping of heart strings. My domin-
ion is tho grave yard, where my loyal sub
.jects rebel not. Who is it that smiles at
the Boosting of death? Who is it that says
rob men of beauty, innocence, honesty
and even character ennobling their nature?
| rob Heaven of its angels. robbed Jesus
Christ of His peace until the Omnipotent
God was sorry he ever created man. Who
was it that spread Jesus Christ on the cross
and made Him beg for the chalice to pass
away? l. sin, the prince of all robbers,
did these things. My army of vices spread
diseases. The music love is not the sigh
Of sorrow, soon to be soothed, but the howl
ings of the sinful, which shall be as ever
lasting as the smoke of their torture. am
the parent of hell aud the robber of Heaven.
False are the babblngs of this boaster
death. The Gead shall rebel at my COM
mand and not only will rob them of their
lover, death, but also Of their God"

THE POWER OF SIN.

Bishop Ryan, of Louisville, KY, preach
ing in Baltimore on Sunday last described
the Power of Sin in the following beautiful
and sublime language:-"Tbe most mo.
mentous and memorable events of our lives
are our sins and pleasures. They live long.
er than all other things and extend into
eternity. Even our sorrows pass away in
time and are forgotten. Sin never dies;
ages still preserve its marks. Its vitality is
wonderful, for it rises as well in the dark.
ness of night to claim its victims as in
brightest day. The cry of our very nature
is an acknowledgment of our guilt again [
Heaven. To thoroughly appreciate the
enormity of sin We must understand what is
forgiven, we must understand the benedic.
ton of our divine Lord. The great funda-
mental need of our day is the want of real.
ization of sin. This is the result of famil.
iarity with sin and its nearness which
makes it less appalling. Sin is the greatest
of all misfortunes, and its forgiveness the
greatest of all benefits.

A Child's Growth.

How a child ought to grow to get to true
manhood stature is told US by DR.. Percy Boil
ton, who finds that there is a striking degree
of regularity in the normal growth in weight
and height of children well cared for, and of
healthy families. Taking one year with
another, child after three years of age should
grow between two and three.inches a year up
to IS years old; outside these limits, below or
above, the growth. should be looked upon
with some degree of apprehension. More
over. a more precise Standard is discoverable.
A child Of short stature will increase in height
by about two inches per annum; of medium
statsre, two inches and half; tall child,
three inches. A few figures will give fuller
idea of the case. A child growing at the
rate of two inches per annum will probably
become an adult of short stature if male,
about FIVE feet six inches; if female, FIVE feet
one inch. If the growth proceed at the rate
Of two and half inches the stature will be
medium, say five feet eight inches for man,
FIVE feet three inches for a woman; while an
annual increase of three inches produces the
tall man of FIVE feet ten inches, or the tall
woman Of FIVE feet FIVE inches. OF course
weights will vary in consequence of hereditary
endencies.

ORNITHoPHAGOUs CRANKs.

What scientific ends are to be attained by
fasting an extensive. period or by eating a
brace of quais every day for given time the
LIGHT does not understand. 1t may be said,
and with truth, that DR.. Tanners feat was
beneficial to science, but no one will assert
that any good results follow the trials OF the
army of Tanners imitators. This view is now
generally held, and in St. Louis recently a
crank who undertook to fast month was
arrested at the end OF II days and required to
resume eating. In the case of quail eating
gourmands no better purpose is subserved.
But ornithophagous lunatics will continue to
attempt to overcome the natural repulsion
felt for one kind of food which they know
must be eaten regularly in order that they may
win the wagers they have made. There is
now in New York gourmand attempting to
devour 90 quals in 80 days for wager of
several hundred dollars, and many other per-
sons have begun similar task, to be finished
in time more limited. The Humane Society
should interfere.

A Horrible Story.

Larkin B. Day, of Milwaukee, while in
New York few days since told Tribune
reporter singular story about the recent dis
aster at the Newhall house:
"There is" said he, "an appalling whisper
going the rounds in Milwaukee which hope
from the bottom of my heart is not true. 1t
is to the effect that the proprietor Of the hotel
was in the habit of locking his women SER
wants in their bedrooms to keep them honest,
and that when they discovered the FIRE they
were Gagged prisoners, for whom there was no
escape except by the windows. John F.
Antisdell, the proprietor, is man with big
heart and is friend of mine. We are mem
bers Of the same Baptist church, and no man
in Milwaukee is more respected than he. But
| know his opinion of working women; and
that lends color to the story. Mr.. Antisdell
has been insane since that terrible night, and
it is said that the loss of his property is the
cause of it. But he was not the man to have
his brain turned by the mere loss of his
property"

AN INJUSTICE TO A CITIZEN.

From the facts adduced to LIGHT reporter
it certainly appears that the proprietors of the
Hord hotel have sustained gross injustice and
injury by correspondents telegraphic reports,
and rumors that some persons infected with
smallpox had laid sick at the hotel, and some
had died there from that disease. While it is
true that some of the employees took the
disease, and died in their own homes, or in
places set apart for such cases, it is equally
true that those people have not had the oppor-
tunity of spreading contagion. This fact is
certified to by three of the best physicians Of
the city, and is proved by this that although
the communication of such disease may break
out any time within ID days, Ie days have
elapsed without any such contamination
showing itself in Mr.. Wolfe's family, in any of
the many regular boarders, or in any of the
servants. The hotel and its guests may there
fore be declared as free from contagion as any
other in the city. Now that these rumors and
statements are proved to be unfounded it is to
be hoped that the public will not allow the
proprietors to suffer this injustice any longer.
Mr.. Wolfe is liberal man, doing an extensive
trade amongst our citizens, and very charitable.
His actions and record show very clearly that
he loves his family, who reside in the hotel,
too much to allow them to run even the chance
of infection, if there were any, and that he has
too much manhood to allow his hotel to remain
open, if by so doing the health of any of his
guests were jeopardized. Mr.. Wolfe is there
fore entitled to public confidence and support.

Pill Box Lottery.

From the Tmes-Democrat.
Aid Caster and Special Kerwin yesterday
arrested William Griffin, well-spoken young
fellow, who had been making things lively
for female spectators in the rear of town.
Griffin had nice little game; he would enter
a house and ask the ladies if they would like
to play lottery. Then he would take num-
Der Of pill boxes out Of his pocket, put SIS
bills in some and paper in others; shake up
the hat and let his victims draw at the rate of
50 cents chance. They generally won on
the first round, but after that luck would turn,
and they would come out losers. As his VIC
tins were, as rule, respectable, they did not
complain, but suffered in silence. He finally
struck the wrong parties. however, hence his
arrest. When arraigned yesterday before
Judge Davey he pleaded guilty and was fined
$40 90.

Hence the opinion is held that the contamina

the case, the city may be congratulated upo
its escape from an epidemic, and the citizen
should gratefully remember the prompt an
skilful action of the late city physician, DR..
Menger, which materially contributed to thi
