A SENSIBLE SERMON.
At tho Bottom of tho Cup of Inhol9
 PIcasmre Arn Enmmh Bittcr DrcEs.

At tno Bottom of the Cup of Inholy
 Pleasure Arc Found Bitter Drcgs-
 The deadly certainty with which offenses against morality and the laws with which society surrounds itself find their rctrlbu ton is illustrated day after day and week after week Wealth, social prestige, learn ing, genlus-none of these can furnish bull warks to ward off the misery that follows in the track of social sin. Death itself ana the mound of cold earth which surrounds the body of the ifeless Ajax who dcfes the lightning of a just and incxorablc fate, are powerless 10 save from the stng that ls aa certain to come with wrong as is the night to drive away the day.
 Many who stand irrcsolute where meet the paths of right and wrong, and consider with moral vacillation all too common tho prizes offered for those who follow in tho tram of Pleasure or il the stcrncr way ol Duty, consider but one possibility in sum- ming up the penalties of vice, and that is :: Discovery. Fools that they are, they do not stop to think that no man can deceive himself or can vail his sins from that per vading Justice which is above us all
 Every man who, knowing the right, chooses the wrong path, finds himself day by day separated farther and farther from the better self from which he took leave at the first step. Like the lovers, whose pa thetlc story is told in Jean Ingelow's touch ing poem, Divided" he may laugh across the Till winch trickles between the pure and the corrupted man, but it wldcns until the hand clasp IS broken, then the voice of tho past grows faint, and, at last, when both stand upon the brink of the awful ocean of the beyond, he strains his eyes across the rushing current and wonders if the speck upon the other side could ever have been himself.
 Think, ifyou will, of all that passes in the mind of man thus divorced from purity and right, and ask yourself if discovery is, indeed, the only punishment, or, if he needs hell worse than that of his own ere ating. Think of the survival after the glamour is all gone, after every cup has been drained, after the age of sentimentI Las departed and only the diabohsm of passion is left. One must be young, indeed to bo deceived by the machinery of the cheater of life Think of beng compelled to live in It after the lights are turned out and darkness mocks the vast temple of gaiety.-Detroit Free Press.

Kicking Mt n Turnpike.

Ihe kicking by farmers at bad turn
pixies Is not all confined to Brandywine
hundred. The farmers Of Christisna and
MIL Creek hundreds and many from
Chester county for many years kicked 80
vigorously at the management OF the
Lancaster turnpike, that they at last sue
ceeded In kicking 1t out OF the hands Of
the stockholders and into the hands Of
the county Of New Castle, and 1t is now
Kept up the same as any other county
road. Now the complaint has centred
upon the Newport, or TO use It's proper
name the Wilmington and Christians
turnpike.
This turnpike Is probably more travelled
than any other road In the county. II is
patTonized by travel from Christiana,
Mill Creek, White Clay Creek and PEN
cader hundreds, and upon IL and upon
roads leading directly to 1t are the tow ms
OF Newport, Stanton, Marshallton, Chris
tiapa and Newark.
Besides, II Is largely patr0nized by
travel from Cecil County and the lower
townships of Chester County. The com
peny only keeps the pike up as far as
Stanton, five miles, and uron it are two
toll gates. 1t Is eaId TO be the best pay
Ing stock in the county, not excelled even
by Wilmington gas stock before the days
OF electricity.
"Now, just look what a road these
stockholders give US for our money, "
said an energetic young farmer to q rep
resentative OF the REPUBLICAN, day or
so ago. "Wby, the piking Is all cut

farmer said, these pike owners will either
have TO give us a pike that Ia q pike, and

to the county. We have read something
about the fight the BrAndywiue hund'ed
farmers are making against the old
Philadelphia pike but we Christiana fel-
lows will make It hotter than that for the
owners OF the Newport black mud pike
when we commence. "You may Just say

Frank Sullivan, small lad about IL
years Of age, was before the Municipal
Court on Friday morning charged with
the larceny of lot OF money belonging
TO his mother.
Chief Swiggett testified that he was
sent for to come and see couple OF boys
who seemed to have more money than
they ought to have. He found two boys,
Sullivan being one Of them, who were
having o good time. He arrested Sulli-
van, who seemed 10 have the money, and
asked him to tell where he got 1t. He
said he took IS from the top Of a bureau,
and that lie divided with the other boys.
Sullivan was before the court last
week with two other boys, who broke the
window Of tore and stole from there q
lot of cigarettes. His father, who is q
respectable, hard-worklHg man, said his
boy had got to running with bad COM
pany and was bad boy, but If the court
would just let him of this time he would
try him once more, "but # he ever comes
here again, want to send him right over
to the Ferris Reform School,"
Word was sent to Mr.. Sullivan this
morning, and he was expected some time
to-day to make out and sign the proper
papers to send him over.

how they are twined or with
