The old reporter sat at his desk at mid

and gazed with envious eyes at the pile Of
clippings as it grew under the Old Re-

ment. Bicycle riders have been in the hab-
it of using limbs of trees for brakes on
the mountain roads, and in several in
stances horses have become frightened by
their use.
Here is a question of wheel or woe which
is agitating the mind of English society.
Is the bicycle becoming so common that
it must be tabooed by fashion? London
society is inclined to think so, and some
of the trainers of social usages over there
are seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of sounding the death knell of the So
called craze. The question was raised
by the fact that a month or so ago two
servants We're seen riding on bicycles in
Rotten Row. They were the butler and
maid of a leading family. The story of
this untoward appearance circulated rap
idly. Fashionable persons who had APP
peared upon wheels thought seriously of
leaving knickerbockers and boomers
forever on the shelf. The mat
ter is still in allegiance 1t
will probably be definitely decided when
the notables return from the country.
Meanwhile in this country all sorts and
conditions of men and women ride the
wheel Buffers, cooks and chambermaids
occasionally hire a wheel and go hurrying
along in the boulevard. Messenger boys
scorch to their work and the florists man,
the candy merchants boy and a score of
Others appear riding a wheel
The doctors are still busy discovering
new bicycle diseases There IS the Dlcy-
Gle throat, and bicycle eye, and the nose,
spine, arm, foot lungs, liver heart and
possibly the cyclists vermiform appen-
dix. As a matter OF fact, however, the
thing that is worrying the doctors is the
general prevalence of bicycle health.
The prominent knee motion which
makes many women look so ungraceful on
a wheel is due to the improper adjust
ment of the saddle. See that your sad
die is high enough to allow you while sit
ting on it, to stand straight on the lower
pedal.
There was a man who bought wheel,
He bought it for his wife,
And through the streets this man would
reel
A-riskng of his life;
Just so his wife could learn to ride,
With swift and agile bounds,
He galloped onward by her side
She weighed two hundred pounds.
OF course he couldn't keep the pace,
And soon he travelled hence;
His love a tandem now doth grace
Her second hub has sense!

cnR1sT,s SECOND COMING.
New Yorker Lectures on the Tenets
of His Faith.

Mr.. ]. A. Forney, of New York, a lay
man of the Society of Christians Sur
named Israelites,'' delivered n lecture,
defining the tenets of his sect, at Ne
chanics' Hall, corner of Four-and-a-half
street aud Pennsylvania avenue, last nj ght.
The weather prevented more than very
small attendance. The subject, 1.-The
second coming of Christ was discussed
from a standpoint somewhat akin to shat
of the more familiar faith OF the Second
Adventists, the only differences being
in the reconciliation OF certain Old Testa-
ment prophecies with the events fore
told in the Revelations of st. John.
one Interesting Article OF faith" was
dwelt upon to some length by the speaker.
He insisted that by perfect faith any
Of the elect might live in their present
bodies for hundreds of years, or until the
coming of Christ, and cited as proof of
this claim, the testimony of nature shown
in the renewal OF the hair and teeth OF
aged and decrepit persons. These, the
speaker said, were merely Gods method
OF reminding the world that nature had
set no limit upon human life.

OPEN BOOK OF THE LAST DAY
DR.. Hartsock's Plea for Clean
and Honest Living.
ENTRIES MADE EVERY HOUR
All Shonld Remember That the Uni
verse Is But n Large whispering
Gallery Where Everything Is
Recorded Cheats Can Pass Now,
But They Cannot Then.

The discourse of the Rev S. NJ. Hartsoek
at Ryland NJ. f. Church last evening was
eloouent and logical. Not eloquent in
oratory only, but in Beautiful thought and
simplicity of expression.
His subject was the "0pcn Book" the
book wherein ones thoughts and acts dur
ing this life would be recorded. The rec
ord upon which the final judgment would
be based and from which there can DC no
appeal. On that terrible day he showed
that all must he ready, the good and the
bad alike and there would be no escape
for the backslidcr He, like the rest, would
be judged by his life acts.
The Rev. DR.. Hartsock compared the
life of man to book. II Is divld'd INTO
pages, chapters and volumes. Some are
short. some long: some bright, others
dull; some good, others bad. but all must
have an end, and it is for this that Chris
tians should prepare for.
AN ALLrSEING EYE.
Throughout life we should remember"
said Dr.. Hartsock, that there is an Ill
seeing and all wise God, and that our
life work both in thought and deed is re-
corded against us, and by this record we
will be Judged on the last day, when
villainy cannot hide its hand nor virtue
hide its head. Even our thoughts shall
be placed to our credit either for the
better or the worse as the case may be.
Here on earth we are daily writing
our life's history, inscribing evidence on
the recording angels book to be used in
our trial on the last day. We cannot hide
either thought or act, for the world is
only an immense whispering gallery where
in our innermoSt thoughts are conveyed
to the all-sceing and .learing God. Ac-
cording to the Koran there is always an
invisible hand hovering about our heads,
minute by minute, day by day and year
by year writing our life's history, record
ing not only what We may think good
and important, but all.
''By its very nature the living soul is
unperishable and it is more probable that
heaven and earth shall pass away than
that single thought shall perish. Dur
ing this life We are forming characters
for eternity, and the important thing
Is that we are responsible not only for
our own but also the characters of others
which may have in any way been FASH
ioned by our words or actions. For this
reason it behooves US to be extremely
careful, others may pattern after us and
In sending such characters to eternity we
will feel it had been better had we never
lived"
CANNOT CHEAT GOD.
In concluding Dr. Hartsock spoke OF the
people in business who are in the habit Of
giving short measure and weight and DEAL
ing in adulterated goods. These, he said,
will have to answer Tor every missing
grainand every missing drop when called ON
to settle with the recording angel ON the
last day. The corporations which Cypress

Drawing from his pocket lump of

orator held it up for the inspection
of his audience and proceeded i'm
pressively -
"My countrymen, here is a IS gold
piece melted down. There is just as
much gold in it as there was before
it was melted. Ifthegold bug theory
is true, that the government cannot
make absolute money, and that the
government stamp on the coin adds
nothing to the actual value of it..
then this piece of metal ought to be
worth rs OF any mans money. Is
there anybody in the audience" he
went on, With kindling eye and in u
voice that made the windows rattle,
"that will give me IS for it?'
Yes Sill" promptly responded a
beety individu Il, Using from his seat
and coming forward.
Here's IS in silver. Hand over
the bullion. It's as good a bargain
as want"
My friend" he said, "you are
willing to exchange IS for this chunk
of ore metal Very good. | don't

tablishing principle. Your willing
ness to pay good money for piece
OF melted gold grows out of the fact
that you know you can take it to
the United States mint, have it
coined into money again, and you
won't lose a c. Mt! The government
stamp on that metal, when it's made
into coin, makes it worth $5 again
Do you see the point, sir ?" continue d
the orator, becoming moreconfident.
"Do you see the point? It's the

Yes, SIR" broke in the beefy in
dividual, taking a lump of some
thing from his pocket and rendering
it to the speaker. Here's a silver

another drink of water and in a
voice of thunder proceeded to de-
nounce the crime of 1873 Chicago
