A Religion of Hopefulness.
Mr. Beechers Sunday Sermon.


Men who work under the inspiration Of care
and fear are like oxen. They walk over the
ground laboriously, measuring every rise and de.
scent in their path. But the man who has hope
has wings like an eagle. There is neither uphill
nor down-hili to him, for hope plus conscience is
the foundation On which character is built but
men should not build on conscience alone Con-
science is like granite 1t is admirable, but not
lovable. Crystalline cold conscience does Eot
win. There is a piety that is an eternal mourn
ing. Men who possess it are forever putting on
Grape because Christ died. They are dolorous
Christians, always RECALLING themselves with their
shortcomings. They think they have hope, but
it is not such hope as mine. The air around
them is full of the devil, and they see Satan
tempting on all sides.
"As style of piety, this is miserable. Re-
ligion ought to be radiant. Wit and humor are
more pious than this dreary sobriety When
used to see those od-time digniied ministers,
those spiritual scare-crows. it seemed to me that
were if not for fear Of hell should never want
to 60 to heaven"

Carp" in Cleveland Leader.

Carp" in Cleveland Leader.
Washington is q city of toadies, and the ma
iority of its citizens trim their sails to go with
the party in power. Honor, gratitude and
common decency are thrown to the winds in
regard to the treatment of those who fail, and
there is everything to be offered and given to
those who win. The town is now almost alto
gether for Cleveland, and the clerks in the de-
partments are to large extent hedging toward
him. One of the most significant instances is
the case of Major Clark, the Pension Commission
err, who for the past eighteen years has sucked
and drawn hard upon the Republican teat, and
who is now denouncing ex-Commissioner Dui-
ley and trying to pander to Cleveland Colonel
Dudley has been greatly traduced in regard to
the Pension Office He was most efficient
Commissioner and the stories as to his using his
clerks party agents at government expense
are lies An examination of the Office books
shows that he has done more business compare
lively than any Pension Commissioner of the
past He certainly is not the man to tolerate
insolence from toady like Clark, and Clark is
hardly the man to act so to a man who is his SUI
perior in Office The sympathy hero is altogether
with Dudley and the general opinion is that Ma
jor Clark hopes to retain his Office by denounc-
ing Dudley.

Those who were not soldiers in either army
can not realize how strong are the ties of affec-
ton existing between the rank and file and their
favorite commanders. 1t is not the affection
that exists between father and son, sovereign
and subject or friend and friend. 1t is peculiar
to commander and man, and it never dies.
Years roll by new friendships are formed and
forgotten, strong attachments made and broken,
old loves cast aside for later fancies yet the love
and veneration for the old commander remains
strong and mistaken forever.
