they carry car fare and loose change in

Then they could dispense with the peck

"Well, l know this, " said the justice,
"a man should never be convicted Of
stealing for taking lady's pocketbook

The Puritanic Sabbath.


Now, in contrast, l present one Of the
Sabbaths in one of our best American
cities Holy silence coming down with
the day dawn. Business men more de-
liberately looking into the faces of their
children and talking to them about
their present and future welfare. Men
sit longer at the table in the morning
because the stores are not to be opened
and the mechanical tools are not to be
taken up. a hymn is sung. There are
congratulations and good cheer all
through the house. The street silent
until 10 O'Clock, when there is a regu-
lar, orderly tramp churchward. Houses
Of God, vocal with thanksgiving for
mercies received, with prayer for COM
fort, with charities for the poor. Rest
for the body. Rest for the soul The
nerves quieted, the temples cooled, the
mind cleared, the soul strengthened, and
our entire population turned out ON
Monday morning 10 years younger, bet
ter prepared for the duties of the life,
better prepared for the life that is to
come.
Which do you like best-the Ameri-
can Sabbath or the Partisan Sabbath?
Do you know in what boat the Sabbath
came across the seas and landed on our
shores? 1t was in the Mayhower. Do
you know in what boat the Sabbath
will leave us, if it ever goes? 1t will
be in the ark that floats over deluge
of national destruction.

THE SABBATH REST.
THEME OF REV. DR.. TALMAGE'S
PRESS SERMON.

Although Far From Home, He Sends Back
Eloquent and Forceful Words In Defense
OF Sunday Rest-The American Sabbath
and the European Sabbath.
Brooklyn, June 24.-For today Rev.
DR.. Talmage has chosen a subject OF
worldwide interest as the theme OF his
sermon through the press-viz, the ne
cessity of guarding the Christian Sab
bath against invasions that aim at its
destruction. The text selected was Ex-
odus XXI, Is, Verify, my Sabbaths ye
shall keep"
The wisdom of cessation from hard
labor one day out of the seven is almost
universally acknowledged. The world
has found out that it can do less work
in seven days than in six, and that the
so DAYS of the year devoted to rest are
an addition rather than subtraction.
Experiments have been made in all de-
partments. The great Lord Castlereagh
tbought he could work his brain 800
DAVIS in the year, but after awhile broke
down and committed suicide, and wal
berforce said of him: Poor Castle
reaghl This is the result of the nonob-
servsrce of the Sabbath
A celebrated merchant declared, Il
should have been a maniac long ago but
for the Sabbath. " The nerves, the brain,
the muscles, the bones, the entire phys
ical, intellectual and moral nature cry
ont for the Sabbatic rest. What is true
of man is, for the most part, true OF the
brute. Travellers have found out that
they come to their places Of destination
sooner when they let their horses rest
by the way on the Sabbath. What IS
the matter with those forlorn creatures
barnessed to some of the city cars?
Why do they stumble and stagger and
fall: 1t is for the lack Of the Sabbatio
rest

Sunday Amusements.

Cunudl
protest against this invasion Of the
holy Sabbath in the first place because
it is a war on Divine enactment. God
saws in Isaiah, eff thou turn away thy
foot from doing thy pleasure on my holy
day, thou shalt walk upon the high
places" What did he mean by doing
thy pleasure?' He referred to secular
and worldly amusements. a man told
me he was never so much frightened as
in the midst of an earthquake, when the
beasts of the field beloved in fear and
even the barnyard fowls screamed in ter
ror. Well, it was when the earth was
shaking and the sky was all full of fire
that God made the great announcement,
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it
holy"
Go through the streets where the
theaters are open on Sabbath night,
go up on the steps, enter the boxes Of
those places of entertainment and tell
me if that is keeping the Sabbath holy.
"Oh, says some one, God won't be
displeased with a grand sacred concertP"
A gentleman who was present at a
grand sacred concert" one Sababth
night in one of the theaters of our great
cities said that during the exercises
there were comic and sentimental songs,
interspersed with coarse jokes, and
there were dances, and a farce, and
tight rope walking, and a trapeze per-
Torrance. suppose it was holy dance
and a consecrated tight rope. That is
what they call grand sacred con-
cert.
We hear a great deal of talk about
"the rights of the people" to have just
such amusements on Sunday as they
want to have. Iwonder if the Lord has
any rights. You rule your family the
governor rules the state; the president
rules the whole land. wonder if the
Lord has right to rule the nations and
make the enactment, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" and II
there is any appeal to high court from
that decision, and if the men who are
warning against that enactment are not
guilty of high treason against the Max
er Of heaven and earth. They have in
our cities put God on trial. 1t has been
the theaters and the opera houses, plain
tiffs, versus the Lord Almighty, defend
ant. The suit has been begun, and
who shall come out ahead you know.
Whether it be. popular or unpopular, /
now announce it as my opinion that the
people have no rights save those which
the great Jehovah gives them. He has
never given the right to man to break
his holy Sabbath, and as long as his
throne stands he never will give that
right
A Robber Of Wages.
The prophet asks question which l
can easily answer, "Will man rob
God?'' Yes. They robbed him last Sun
day night at. the theaters and the opera
houses, and charge upon them the in
famous and high handed larceny. l hold
the same opinion as a sailor l have heard
of. The crew had been discharged from
the vessel because they would not work
while they were in port on the Lords
day. The captain went out to get sailors.
He found one man, and he said to him,
"Will you serve me ON the Sabbath"
"No." Why not?" We'll" replied

Necessity Tor a Halt.

In other days, when the herdsmen
drove their sheep and cattle from the
far west down to the seaboard, it was
found out by experiment that those
berdsmen and drovers who halted over
the seventh day got down sooner to the
seaboard than those who passed on with
ont the observance of the holy Sabbath.
The fishermen off the coast Of New
foundland declare that those men during
the year catch the most fish who stop
during the Lords day.
When | asked the Rocky mountain
locomotive engineer why he changed
locomotives when it seemed to be a
straight route, he said, 1--WE have to let
the locomotive stop and cool off, or the
machinery would soon break down.
Men who made large quantities Of salt
were told that if they allowed their ket-
ties to cool over Sunday they would
submit themselves to a great deal Of
damage. The experiment was made,
some observing the Sabbath, and some
not observing the Sabbath. Those who
allowed the fires to go down and the
kettles to cool once a week were COM
PEELED to spend only a few pennies in
the way Of repairs, while in the cases
where no Sabbath was observed many
dollars were demanded for repairs
In other words, intelligent man,
dumb beast and dead machinery cry out
for the Lords day But while the at
tempt to kill the Sabbath by the stroke
of ak and fail and yardstick has beau
tifully failed it is proposed in our day
to drown the Sabbath by flooding it
with secular amusements. They would
bury it very decently under the wreath
of the target company and to the music
of all braZen instruments.
There are today in the different cities
10, 600 hands and 10000 pens busy in
attempting to cut out the heart of our
Christian Sabbath and leave it bleed
ing skeleton of what it once was. The
effort is organized and tremendous, and
unless the friends Of Christ and the
lovers Of good order shall rouse up right
speedily their sermons and protests will
be uttered after the castle is taken.
There are cities in the land where the
Sabbath has almost persisted, and it is
becoming a practical question whether
we who received a pure Sabbath from
the hands of our fathers shall have piety
and pluck enough to give to our chill
dren the same blessed inheritance. The
ntnrnal God hnlninr Us. we will

THE VACANT CHAIRS.

How many chairs are vacant, around the once
bright hearth
Where once, from joyous laughter, broke
forth the songs of mirth?
Where young and old together, joined voice
in songs of glee;
But now, alas all that is left is the sad
memory.
My father and my mother joined in the cheer
full song,
Whose voices now are hushed in death; have
lain there lOng-SO long
And since | have to manhood grown, how
often have longed
For mothers hand my steps to guide-the
streets have been so thronged
If, mother, dear, in heaven, you still can
watch your child,
Oh let me not be led astray from mothers
loving smile;
But let me hear thy angel wings, and thy dear
Whisper, ''Come back to me, my child and
eyermore rejoice"
And, mother, often in my dreams, I've seen
thy loving face
Lean over me, as though you would catch me
in your embrace;
And, mother, dear, when l awoke, all I'd SO
plainly seen
Had vanished with the morning sun-'twas
only in my dream.
But, mother, DEAR 1 love to think you still
watch over me,
And lead my footsteps in way, the end
cannot see;
1 trusted thee in childhood days, now will
trust thee more,
For thou wilt lead me where thou art upon
the other shore.
And, mother, when that time shall come, and
am called away,
Meet me on the other side, to lead me on my
way;
Where there will be no parting, in sorrow or
in pain,
For Christ shall be our all in all, and over ali
shall reign. ISRAEL LUCE.

TIE PORTUGUESE VOTE.

We are informed, On what may
be considered the best authority,
that the Portuguese voters Of this
district have taken, 90 far, no in
terest whatever in the political
campaign, although the leaders of
The American Union Party have
earnestly desired that they should
DO 20. This strange Indifference to
the situation is accounted for only
On the ground that they are ignor-
ant Of the nature OF our politi-
cal institutions, and are quite
willing, at present, 70 let
things take their course. At the
same time, such men may become
g troublesome element, at any time,
owing 70 their ignorance. If any
inquirer wishes 70 know how strong
they are politically, and what their
feelings are toward the supporters
Of this Government, he may ask
why was the new Constitution not
submitted to the popular vote, and
why the American League, which
imperativeIy demanded, at fret,
that it should be ratified by the
people, came to the conclusion that
it should be proclaimed" and not
ratified?

INCREASED PRICE OF LABOR.

We have been asked TO explain,
or make more definite our remark
in an article on the labor question,
that ''the cheaper an article is, the
higher the price of the labor which
produces it,"
We will illustrate our statement,
by taking the price of wheat.
Forty years ago, the price of wheat
was 50 per bushel, and upwards.
Today it sells, in Chicago for 30
cents per bushel. Forty years ago.
one man, with the mechanical
appliances of those days produced
enough wheat to feed, say 100 peo-
pie, and he was paid small wages.
Today, a good farmer with modern
appliances, can supply wheat for
the wants of 1000 people, aud he,
therefore, is paid better wages.
The price of labor may be
indefinitely increased, provided it
brings an increased production of
an article, at cheaper rate.
A day laborer, who shovels dirt
At 81 per day is a more "expen-
siTe' laborer, than a man who,
with the aid of a machine, can
handle ten times az much earth,
and demands ~ far his labor.
