Robert ARurdOGte's Sermon On
l--il. Fishermem.


"The Fishers shall also mourn, and
all they that cast angle into the brooks
shall lament, and they that spread
nets upon the waters shall languish."
Isaiah, xix, 8.
1t is the time OF the fish liar. He is
even now in our midst. "a poor man
is better than liar" saith the wise
man, which goes to indicate that even
in the days of Solomon a poor man
was about as useless piece of furni-
ture as could be found in the State,
and when the liar was pegged one
row below the child of poverty he was
clear down; yes, he was thirty-nine
degrees below the State house. The
psalmist said in his haste that "An
men are liars" And although after
saying it he had many years of mature
consideration and deliberation he
doesn't appear to have moved recon
sideration. He doesn't say anything
about it, he doesn't explain it, He
doesn't add anything to it. He doesn't
even move to strike out the enacting
clause He just let's the record
stand.
But there be hope OF man, if he
steal, that one short term in the peni-
ttentiary and wholesome fear of an
other will cure him. If he be a

affair. The girl who was young, in

engaged to young gentleman nam
ed Nash, a resident OF the neighbor-
hood, and highly esteemed gentle
man. Saturday evening he called on
Miss McCiban and remained for some
time. When taking his departure, in
jest, he said to her that he had con.
cluded to sever their relations, and
that there could be nothing between
them but friendship. The girl was Sc

tics OF town, Congressional district

til it no longer excites popular horror
Men of high position in society,

Gus business and make no conceal

nominated for their ability to contrib
ute the money to bribe voters, and
men otherwise moral and honest con-
sent to thus seek and obtain Office.
This condition of affairs has also at
tracted attention from national com
mittees, which have sent money to
these States with full knowledge OF
tho use to which it would be put.

become so aroused by tho extreme de-
vRlopment of bribery that good men

of Spain, says: "Only when I turn
back to ancient times do l find those TO
whom to compare General Gordon.
certainly do not compare him, to the
first discoveries OF the New World,
among whom the element Of q warrior
was predominant. I compare him,
though you may greatly marvel, to the
first Jesuit missionaries, and among
them to those who first went to India
and China. The missionary and the
explorer are marvellously united in the
Psha and the Briton, rs they were unit
ed in them. He resembles them in their
incomprehensible mixture of motives,
their mingled worldliness and asceticsm,
their extraordinary blending of prophet
ic sentiments with mathematical calcu-
lations, their enormous individ ual sac
riAce, and their keen eye to CONNER
cial advantages. A pure morality, q
positive theology, practical mind, are
three Of his great qualities. and no one
can read the history of Gordon without
drawing parallels between him and the
early Jesuits."
