They thought they would like to have
the morning sunlight tangled in the head
gear of dashing span. They wanted
the bridges in the park to resound under
the rataplan Of their swift hoofs. They
wanted a gilded baldrick, and so they
started on the dollar hunt. They chased
it mp one street and chased it down an
mother. They followed it when burrowed
in the cellar. They freed it in the roof
Wherever dollar was expected to be
they were. They chased it across the
ocean. They chased it across the
land. They stopped not for the night
Hearing that dollar even in the dark
ness thrilled them as an Adirondack
sportsman is thrilled by looms laugh,
They chased that dollar to the money
vault. They chased it to the government
treasury. They routed it from under
the counter. All the hounds were
out-all the pointers and settlers. Thew
leaped the hedges for that dollar,
and they cried: clark away! dollar |!
dollarw And when ct last they came
upon it and had actually captured it, their
excitement was like that of q falconer who
has successfully flung his first hawk. In
the morning Of their life, oh how they

taken cautiously. It is medicine that kills
or cures. The same medicine given to diff
ferent patients in one case saves life and
in the other destroys it. This possibility
of repentance at the close of life may cure
the old man while it kills the young. Be
cautious in taking it.
Again, my subject is descriptive of those
who come to q sudden and radical change.
You have noticed how short time it is
from morning to night in the winter
eight or ten hours. You know that win

Of the longest day beats twenty -four times

sition in the character of these Benjamin
ties!
In the morning they shall devour the prey
and at night they shall divide the spoil.
Is It possible that there shall be such q
Transformation in any of our characters?
Yes, q man may be at seven O'Clock in
the morning an all-devoaring wording,
and at seven o'clock at night he may be a
peaceful distributive Christian. Conver.
sion is instantaneous. A man passes into
the Kingdom Of God quicker than down
the sky runs the zig-sag lightning. A
man may be anxious about his soul for q
great many years; that does not make
him Christian. A man NAV pray a
great while; that does not make him a
Christian. A man msy resolve on the
reformation Of his character and have
that resolution going on great while,
that does not make him Christian But
the very instant when he filings his soul on
the mercy of Jesus Christ, that instant is
lustration, emancipation, resurrection.
Up to that point he is COINS in the wrong

times Of peace. He was the soldiers
friend, soldier himself and one who
confined all the bravery, chivalry and
patriotism Of the olden times. His life
was one ofpurity and great manliness,
and his public record brilliant with
good deeds, good works, untarnished
and undimmed by an unworthy action.

ing made the commander Of the veteran
corps, being about $4,000 picked men,
selected from the entire Union army, a
position he filed until the close of the
war. As the nominee of the Democratic
party for President in 1880, he found a
warm support from men OF all parties,
and would have enjoyed the fullest con-
fidence Of all, had he been elected. AS
a man. father, soldier and friend he will
be truly honOred.
