A Boy rramp Captured.

LANCASTER, Pa, March IA very
young tramp from Philadelphia is locked
up in the station house here. He says his
real name is Oliver Tibbell, and that he is
the adopted son Of George Dowas, of 3640
Lambert street, Philadelphia. He is only
IA years old. Two years ago he ran away,
since which time he has travelled all over
the country, under the name of Ed
Roberts, with parties of tramps. The
reason he ran away was because he feared
punishment for stealing $40 from his
adopted father, Mr.. Dowas, who has been
notified Of the capture of the runaway.

A Grand Gift.
When a queen died, her three sons
brought an offering to the grave. One
son brought gold, another brought sill
yer, but the third son came and stood
over the grave and opened one Of his
veins and let the blood drop upon his
mothers tomb, and all who saw it said
it was the greatest demonstration of
affection. Myfriends, what is the grand
est gift we can bring to the s%epulchers
Of a Christian ancestry? It is a life all
consecrated to the God who made US
and the Christ who redeemed us. I cam
not but believe that there are hundreds
of parents in this house who have re-
solved to do their whole duty and that
at this moment they are passing into a
better life, and having seen the grace Of
the gospel in this place today you are
now fully ready to return to your own
house and show what great things God
has done unto you.
Though parents may in covenant be
And have their heaven in view,
They are not happy till they see
Their children happy too.
May the Lord God Of Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob, the God Of our fathers,
be our God and the God Of our children

Religion In Domestic Duties.
While I speak this morning there is
knocking at your front door, if he be
not already admitted, n whose locks
are wet with the dews Of the night, who
would take your children into his arms
and would throw upon your nursery, and
your leeping apartments, and yourdraw-
ing room, and your entire house a bless
ing that will make you rich while you
live and be an inheritance to your chill
dren after you have done the last days
work for their support and made for
them the last prayer. It is the illustri-
Gus one who said to the man Of my
text, .sReturn to thine own house and
shew how great things God hath done
unto thee" Now, in the first place, we
want religion in our domestic duties.
Every housekeeper needs great grace.
IF Martha had had more religion, she
would not have rushed with such bad
temper to scold Mary in the presence OF
Christ. It is no small thing to keep or
der and secure cleanliness and mend
breakages and achieve economy and con-
troll all the affairs of the household adj
vantageously. Expenses will run up,
store bills will come in twice as large as
you think they ought to be, furniture
will wear out, carpets will %unravel, and
the martyrs Of the fire are very few IN
comparison with the martyrs Of house
keeping.
Yet there are hundreds Of people in
this church this morning who in their
homes are managing all these affairs
with a composure, an ad%roitness, an In
genuity and a faithfulness which they
never could have reached but for the
grace Of our practical Christianity. The
exasperations which wear out Others
have been to you spiritual development
and modification Employmenrs which
seemed to relate only to an hour have
on them all the grandeurs of eternal his
tory.

their children good.
A Good Mother Sought.
So it was demonstrated in a police
court in Canada, where a mother, her
little child in her arms, sat by a table
on which her own handouts lay, and
the little babe took up the handouts and
played with them and had great glee-
She knew not the sorrow of the hour.
And then when the mother was sent to
prison the mother cried out: go God,
let not this babe go into the jail! Is
there not some mother here who Will
take this child? 1t is good enough for
heaven. It is pure. I am bad- I am
wicked. Is there not some one who will
take this child? I cannot have it tainted
with the prison" Then O. brazen crea-
ture rushed up and said, eyes, I'll take
the child s'No, no, said the mother,
mot you, not you. Is there not some
good mother here who will take this
child?" And then when the officer of
the law in mercy and pity took the child
to carry it away to find a home for it
the mother kissed it lovingly goodby and
said: "Goodby, my darling. 1t is better
YOU should never see me again"
However worldly and sinful people
are, they want their children good. How
are you going to have them good: Buy
them a few good books? Teach them a
few excellent catechisms9 Bring them
to church? That is all very well, but OF
little final result unless you do 1T with
the grace IF God in your heart. Do you
not realize that your children are started
for eternity? Are they on the right road:
Those little forms that are now so bright
and beautiful-when they have scat
tered in the dust, there will be an I'M
mortal spirit living on in a mighty thea
ter of action, and your ~faithfulness or
your neglect now is deciding that des-
tiny.
There is contention already among
ministering spirits of salvation and
fallen angels as to who shall have the
mastery of that immortal spirit. Your

The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,
For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

Bible distinctly says that God will pour

read a chapter; that will make you
strong. Kneel down and offer the first
prayer in your household. 1t may be a
