CRIME IN LONDON.
The Sermon of MIR. Spurgeon on Sunday
referring to il.

The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon on Sunday,
preached a powerful sermon on the pa
trician iniquity of London as exposed by
the Pail Mall Gazette during the past
week. Mr.. Spurgeon took for his text
the sixteenth verse of the second chapter
OF the epistle of Paul to the Romans,
which he quoted in defence of the Pail
ha1 Gasettes work in making its revela-
tlons. st. Paul, the preacher said, felt
1t necessary to mention the hideous vices
of the heather, and left on record an
exposure of the sin of his day which
crimsoned the cheek of the modest when
they read it. 1t had to be written to
shame the denominations of an age almost
past shame. There was Judgment for
SIN in this world both for men and
nations. Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Rome,
and Egypt were empires of oppression
and cruelty, and full of iniquity. When
the sin of these peoples could no longer
be tolerated they were wiped off the face
OF the earth. Thus Of nations. But no

The graves stood cold as the night came down.

And the bell tolled out the psalm for the dead

through all the close-set town and towers
The doors were shut for the silent hours.
But a mother buried for half year,
Woke with a crying in her ear.
She rose with the vague sleep still in her head
And clad in the shroud that wraps the dead.
She left the cold graves under the walls,
And took the street to her husbands halls.
She felt her long dead bosom ache,
For her seven children were all awake;
And none had broken them bread that night,
Or poured them drink, or trimmed light.

Two strove for an empty cup, and one
Was crying-that was her youngest son.
She washed and kissed them, and hushed their
cries;
While tears pressed out of her long, dead eyes.
But their father who lay on a lower floor,
Had heard her step in the corridor.
And he rose and came and saw her stand
With the children clinging to either hand.
She said, 'The crying smote my heart,

DesuitOry Reading.

Lord lddeSle1gh IN London Times.
We are not to confound desultory work
with idleness. 1t is useful to look to the
origin of words. The word desultory is of
Latin parentage, and it was applied by the
Romans to describe the equestrian jumping
actively from one stead to another in the
circus, or even as was the case with the
Numidlans, in the midst of battle. That
certainly was no idle lettering. =
The lover of nature will find much revealed
to him which the mere bookworm will
wholly fail to notice; but, on the other
hand, a well-read man who can apply the
teaching of his books to the objects which
he has around him will profit far more than
his illiterate companion.
So that the choice lies for the most part
between ignorance of much that we would
greatly like to know and that kind of &C.
quaintance which is to be acquired only by
desutory reading. When l say this, dc
not forget that third alternative may be
offered to US. We may be told that though
we have no time to read the books them
selves, we have always the means of be-
coming acquainted with their contents by
the aid of abstracts. abridgments and other
convenient instruments for the close pack
ing of information. Nobody is more ready
than am to acknowledge the utility of
these pieces of intellectual mechanism.
They are most valuable for reference. and
