those to whom you have loaned money
or have started in business, or whom
You rescued in some great crisis.
think it has been the history of all
lives-the most acrimonious assault
has come from those whom we have
benefited. whom we have helped, and
that makes il all the harder to bear.
Another burden some have to carry
is the burden of bereavement All!
these are the troubles that wear us
out. If we lose our property, by ad-
ditional industry perhaps we may
bring back the estranged fortune; if
we lose our good name, perhaps by
reformation of morals may achieve
again reputation for integrity; but
who will bring back the dear de.
parted?
Then there are many who carry the
burden of sin. All. we all carry it TN
til in the appointed way that burden
is lifted We need no Bible to prove
that the whole race is ruined. What
a spectacle it would be if we could
tear off the mask of human defilement,
or beat a drum that would bring up
the whole army of the worlds trans
gressions-the deception, the fraud
and the rapine and murder and the
crime of all centuries. Ay, if / could
sound the trumpet of resurrection in
the soul of the best men in this audience
and all the dead sins of the past
should come up, we could not endure
the sight Sin, grim and dire, has put
its clutch upon the immortal soul, and
that clutch will never relax unless un.
less it be under the heel of him who
came to destroy the works of tht
devil
Oh to have a mountain of sin or
the soul! Is there no way to have the
burden moved? Oh, yes. Cast thy
burden upon the Lord" The sinless
one came to take the consequences of
our sin! And know he is in earnest.
How do l know it? By the streaming
temples and the streaming hands as
he says, Come unto me all we WHO
are weary and heavy laden, and l will
give you rest"
Why will prodigals, live on swine's
husks when the robe and the ring and
the fathers welcome are ready? Why
go wandering over the great Sahara
desert of your sin when you are in
of life and the fountains of living
water? Why be houseless and home
less forever when you may become the
sons and daughters of the Lord God
Almighty?

depot, into the broad sunlight, there
across the aisle, three seats before
him, sat Mrs. Palmer and Flossie.
Had the Fates conspired to heal
him off? Mrs Palmer was bending
over Flossie, anXiously. The next
moment her eyes met his, with a
bright glad look of recognition.
He crossed to her side, in moment.
"You on the train?" she said, as
she crowded up the boxes and wraps
on the seat opposite her, to make
room for him. Il sent you note, and
expected you over. The doctor Or
dered Flossie away this very day, and
made no delay. She has been droop-
ing dreadfully, with the heat Ihave
to take the train from New York to
Equity, n. j. l don't want to alarm
her father, and spoil his vacation if
can avoid it."
81 am going to New York also, in
something of hurry" he explained.
Had she heard the gossip? Her I'M
embarrassed manner and clear glance
did not betray such knowledge. How
sweet and true and wOmanly she
looked, as she bent over Flossie anx-
iously. She had lost two darlings,
and Flossie looked dangerously
flushed and feverish. Lyons, watch
ing them, cursed the idle gossip of the
fort, felt rcsentfully certain that
Palmer did not half appreciate his
wife, called himself an idiot, and
ended by sharing the mothers anxiety
over his little favorite.
Wont you take me in your arms?'
Flossie asked, and at his ready com
pliance she laid her head against hi
breast contentedly.
He meant to see them aboard tn,
train for Equity, and then leave them
but Flossie seemed worse, and clunj
to him so piteously, because, as sh
said: 'Mammas arms were no
strong enough to hold her." that h
felt that he must accompany them t
their destination.

1t is generally the easiest thing in
the world to drive a horse Without
spirit, but there is one recorded in
stance where stage coach driver COW
cred himself with glory by doing just
that thing. He was an old-timer, this
driver, and one afternoon in the days
of long ago he and his coach and four
came rafting up to the tavern door
like an avalanche. AS the coach
stopped one of the horses dropped
dead.
THAT was very sudden DEATH" re-
marked a by-stander.
That sudden!" coolly responded
the driver. THAT 'oss died at the
top of the hill, nine miles back, sir;
but wasn't going to let him down

Another Feminine Lawyer.

Miss Alice Parker of Boston recently
appeared in behalf of client before
the Norfolk County Mass Superior
court, and has the honor of being the
first woman lawyer thus to serve in
the courts of that county. The deputy
sheriff, who informed her Immediately
upon her taking her seat within the
rail that spectators were not admitted
there, the Enclosure being reserved for
counsel, retired much crestfallen when
she quietly informed him of her right
to remain with her brothers in the

He Felt Hurt.

A Detroit young man who sang in
a concert not many evenings ago. is
feeling pretty sore over the arrange
ment of the program.
Whats the matter with you?'
asked one OF the organizers of the
affair, on hearing few of his re-
marks.
"A good DEAL" growled the young
man, you let that girl that followed
mo sing After the Ball"
well, what's wrong with that"
The young man champed his bits.
''Do you call my singing bawl?"
he exclaimed, and almost began a
warlike demonstration. Detroit Free

He found no difficulty in getting
leave of absence for few days. He
recalled the overheard gossip, sensi-
lively, as he went about his prepare
tions. Lieutenant Palmer had gone
on leave of absence to visit his aged
father in New Hampshire. Lyons,
always on intimate visiting terms at
Mrs. Palmer's apartments, went there
more than ever, during Palmer's alb
scnce. FlosSic was much attached to
him. She was rather weakly, and
was the object of her mothers tender
est solcitude. Every day, Lyons was
to be seen, in the handsomest turnout
he afforded himself, with Mrs. Palmer
and FlosSie. out for an airing. OF
course, comment was to be expected,
at the fort. but Lyons was quite un-
prepared for the malicious remarks
that met his ear accidentally. He
knew he was no favoritc, that the
officers called him foppish, because he
had the means to indulge tastes and
fancies that they were forced to sup
press, and that ne WAS considered
flirt among the ladies, but all this was
trifling, compared with hearing his
name linked with that of his friends
wife, in a dishonorable fashion.
He decided to slip away without
goodbye, without even sending
note. Too many notes had passed the
last few weeks. He knew now that
every movement was watched, that
prying servants had become suspicious
and the consciousness of his own SEN
timents, which must be carefully re-
pressed, made him more keenly sensi-
tive. He would write a frank, open
letter from New York, and offer his
excuses.
But his conscientiously laid scheme
was to be frustrated He took his

main Closed on Sunday.

Letters were ssnt by Mayor Connell
yesterday to the various druggists and
cigar dealers who have figured in the
Sunday closing litigations Of the past
few weeks, requesting druggists to re-
lraiu from the sale of merchaddiss on
the Sabbath except such rs may BE- re-
qulred for sickness and requesting
other dealers to Cease Sabbath traffic
entirely, From inquiries made by a
TRIBUNE reporter it was learned that
the l, quest will be complied with,
Following 10 the letter sent BY
Mayor Connell to the druggis ts
SCRANTON, Pa, June Is, 1894.
DEAR SIR: II you will kindly limit tho
sale Of merchandise from your store on sun
day strictly to those articles which are e.
sentiai to the treatment of sickness. you
will confer a favor on me which will be
fully apprecia ted.
Yours very truly,
W. l.. CONYELL, Mayor.
Druggist Phelps has replied to tie
letter saying he will cheerfuly comply
with the reQusst. and that neither Dlr.
Dony nor those behind him could have
brought it about. Mr. Phelps stated
TO TRIBUNE reporter that he proposed
to stand ly his public announcement
that he would accept any dose Mayor
Council might prescribe. From Mr..
Phelps it WIS learned that McGlrrah
& Thomas would also accede to the
r,qnest.
f. Moses, the Lsckawanna avenue
cigar dealer, said he would close his
store on Sunday in compliance with the
mayors gentlemanly request.
Druggist Ryan, of Penn avenue, said
the closing Of his sodawater trade on
Sunday would incur an Inconvenience
for his customers and deprive them of

his purpose to confer with Mayor Com

ical position in the matter. he could
not state last night just what he would

declared emphatically that they would
never have submitted out of respect for
