My son, when you hear a man growing
and scolding because Moody gets $500 a
week for preaching Christianity, you will
see that he never worries because Ingersoll
gets 5000 a night for preaching atheism.
You will observe that the man who is ut
terly shocked because Francis Murphy is
paid $3.50 u week for temperance work,
seems to think it is all right when a bat
keeper takes in twice as much iu o single
day. The laborer is worthy his hire, nv
boy, and he is just as worthy OF it in the
pulpit as on the stump. u the man who
is honestly trying to save your immortal

tender? Do you want to get all the good
in the world for nothing, SO that you may
be able TO pay a high price for the bad?
Remember, my boy, the good things in the
world are always the cheapest. Spring
water costs less than corn whisky; a box OF
cigars will buy two or three Bibles; a gal
lon Of old brandy costs more than q barrel
Of -four; a "iull hand at poker often costs
a man more in twenty minutes than his
church subscription amounts to in three
years; a State election costs more than O

baggy at the knees, and utterly burst at the

dancing lady gets $500 a week, and the
city missionary gets $500 a year; the horse

Thirty-fOur Thousand Pennies Taken
on the Brooklyn Bridge Sunday
New York journal.

New York Journal.
In spite of the heat yesterday, very
large crowds sought the bridge. Be-
tween 8 o'clock in the morning and 4 in
the afternoon II 900 pennies were taken
in on the New York side and about as
many in Brooklyn. After 4 the throng
increased immensely, and by sunset ex-
ira ticket gates had to be opened.
"Yes," said one of the bridge police,
''this has been a heavy day for foot pas
sengers. The most curious thing in the
Sunday crowds is the number Of China
men. They go backwards and forwards
in groups Of from two and three to as
many as ten or adozen. I've been watch
ing them all day, and j don't think it
much of an ~exaggeration to say that
thousands of them have crossed. l sup
pose curiosity attracts them, and yet
they don't appear to notice anything
they see, but Just walk solemnly and
silently on. We have a good many
other foreigners too, who come III gangs
from Castle Garden. Italians and Ger
mans generally, and also a great many
men-o'-wars men,.

crowdsl'
''Not a bit; they keep moving now
almost of their own accord, and it's only
when some foreigners who don't under
stand English want to stop and look at
the view that we have a little trouble in
making them move on. They tell me
that people walk ON the bridge for pleas
