Lessons From the Life OF . Youth-A
Story of Lincoln.
Last evenings discourse of Rev. w.
II. Thompson at the Second-Street NJ.
f. church was founded upon Genesis
xl, % verse: "The Lord was with him
and that which he did the Lord made
to prosper"
This" SAID Mr.. Thompson, "refers
to Joseph, 4 young man of eventful ex-
perienees." His Father loved HIM more
than all his other sons, because he was
the son OF his old age. and made for
him a coat of many colors. His breth-
cren saw that his father low I'd him more
than them and they were filed with
envy and jealousy. They consplred to
kill him, but finally sold him to slavery
IN Egypt. Joseph passed his early lite
with his father and had often heard
MN talk OF the providence with which
he had wrestled. Joseph had passed
through the temptations of lls life
safely and was still unblemlshed at the
age OF seventeen years. If a boy or
gIrl can pass through life safely up to
seventeen or eighteen years of age there
need be bat little fear for their future
welfare. Joseph became te!l-tale.
lie told his father of the sins of his
brctheren and this further tended
To excite their anger and jealousy
and made him very obnoxious
III their sight. Joseph's dreams were
another cause for an expression of
hatred on the part of his brethren. He
told them of his dreams, that the sun,
moon and stars bowed down to him.
The life of every youth is full of dreams
of ambition. and as they advance and
their dreams are realized they are sub
Iect to envy; so Joseph's brethren were
determined to down this moral youth.
Joseph Cook said, when asked what be
most desired in this life, 81 would
rather he teacher of teachers" The
chances may be scarce in this day and
age of the world for originating. To be
successful one must give himself up to
one thing. A man cannot consecrate
and disslpate at the same time. Joseph
was not daunted by adversely, ne was
always equal to the occasion. When
| ae Was cast INTO prison he had the con-
/ fdenee of the prisoners and was pro-
noted TO be jallor. He rose to higher
circumstances from debasing surround
ings. lie who IS a slave in

IS one Of model youth whose moral

being imprisoned in the cavity, obtaining

some suppose that constant friction ena-

Others. again, are OF the opinion that
tba she'll secretes some corrosive fluid
which dissolvcs the rock and enables the
creature to bore its hole. Some OF the
most interesting samples OF its work
