not make Inquiries OF the night, and the
majority OF us know little about It.
Our pictures OF the highs are beautiful
Landscapes, quiet rest, music and peace.
Our picture OF the day is one Of COM
mercial hustle and noise, and we look
for the night as nature hushed and
silent, all man add his children are gone
to rest and why should wo invade their
rest. But look on this picture: q poor
widow In an attic, perhaps with
children. She tolls all night. stitch by
stitch, perhaps to earn the bread for to-
MORO " g scant meal. Not all the world
is asleep by night. Others have
been awake and busy while you slept.
The baker, the butcher, the milkman,
the printer, the tired editor, the tele-
graph operator, and the Waterman who
guards your rest, have all been awake
aud busy for your comfort, and perhaps
10 the morning you awake with no
thankfulness to them, and perhaps with
a complaint on your lips.
But there 10 yet another side OF this
picture. The Psalmist said under cover
OF the night all the beasts Of the field
shall come forth to seek their prey. Un-
der cover OF the night the thief creeps
along. seeking his prey. the villain turks
in the darkness TO rob and to kill and
burn Most OF the wiokedness Of the
world Is done at night. Why is that light
yonder 40 dimly burning? IL Is In the
room Of II fond wife, perhaps mother,
who while she watches over the
slumbers of her little ones,
waits with tear-dry ey es for The coming
of the husband and father. And where
is he? Yonder, another light is burn
ing. brilliantly, and lighting up a scene
of gayety ard frivolity; yet there is an
other light, brilliant, where men and
women are singing, are playing and bet
ting. Bring that fond wife and ask her
II that is he, whom she lovesP IL IL he
who is intoxicated, reeking In foul
fumes and fouler vice; are those mod
els of your gentlemen, who walk among
us in the daylight? Now they revel in
profanity and even worse. There the
young, the middle-aged and even the
venerable grsy-hesd swarm, and in sa-
esty forbids mentioning. can be found
these noble specimens Of man, and their
money Is spent, precious time wasted
and health ruined by these carousals.
Verify, it becometh night wherein creep
forth all these beasts.
Fathers, do you think Oft? Mothers,
do you ask the question-"where is my
boy tonight" Let US ask ourselves this
question every night and see that We
can answer IL satisfactorily. The gates
of sin are wide open and our young need
to be guided past them, not into them.
We have become too indifferent in regard
to the night. The question has become
too great to be ignored, and We must be
up and making inquiries about it.

She Felt 1t.

RosaSchmidt, the pretty little German
fOrger was taken to the penitentiary
yesterday by one of the contractors hand
0ulied to a rough little negro. The poor
girl evidently felt her degradation
keenIy and considerable sympathy was
expressed for the young girl whose in
nocsnce and ignorance led her into
crime.
This incident is the cause of consider
able talk In the city, and the Germans
are much excited over 1t. They think
that the same power that sent Lille
Gibson, the murderOus courtesan TO the
depot in hack, should have spared the
poor girl the disgrace of being marched
through the public streets, coupled to q
big buck negro.
