The evil you practice on others Will re-

was about to be beheaded, ne sald'

the similar injustice l am now TO uh-

in the same place, where the shades OF

to haunt him, so that he kept crylng to

The chickens had come home to roost.
The body of Bradshaw, the English
Judge, who had been ruthless and cruel
in his decisions, was taken from his
splendid tomb in Westminster abbey,
and at Tyburn hung on gallows from
morning until night in the presence OF
jeering multitudes. Haman's gallows
came little late, but it came. Oppor-
tunities fly in a straight line, and just
tonch us as they pass from eternity to
eternity, but the wrongs we do Others
fly in a circle, and however the circle
may widen out, they are sure to come
back to the point from which they
started. There are guns that kickl
Fortune Quickly Turns.
Furthermore, let the story of Hannah
teach us how quickly turns the wheel
Of fortune One day, excepting the king,
Hannah was the mightiest man in Per-
STA, but the next day laclsey. So we
go up, and so we come down. You sell
dom find any man 20 years in the same
circumstances. Of those who in polit-
ical life 20 years ago were the most
prominent how few remain i'll conspi-
Guilty! Political parties make certain
men do their hard work, and then, after
using them as hacks, turn them out on
the commons to die. Every four years
there is complete revolution, and
about 5000 men who ought certainly
to be the next president are shamefully
disappointed, while some who this day
aro-obscure and poverty stricken will
ride upon the shoulders of the people
and take their turn at admiration and
the spoils of office. Oh, how quickly
the wheel turns! Ballot boxes are the
steps on which men come down as often
as they go up. Of those who were long
ago successful in the accumulation of
property how few have not met with
reverses, while many of those who then
were straitened in circumstances now
hold the bonds and the bank keys of the
nation. Of all tickle things i'll the world
fortune is tho most tickle. Every day
she changes her mind, and WOO to the
man who puts any confidence in what
she promises or proposes. She cheers
when you go up, and she laughs when
you come down. Oh, trust not mo-
mcnt your hearts affections to this
changeful world! Anchor your soul in
God. From Christ's companionship
gather your satisfaction. Then, como sor-
row or gladness, success or defeat, riches
Or poverty, honor or disgrace, health or
sickness, life or death, time or eternity,
all is yours, and ye are Christ's, and
Christ is Gods.
Sorrows Under Crowns.
Again, this Halnan's history shows us
that outward possessions and circum-
stances cannot make a man happy.
While yet fully vested in authority and
the chief adviser Of the Persian monarch
and everything that equfpage and pomp
and splendor of residence could do was
his he is an object lesson of wretched-
ness. There are today moro aching sor-
rows under crowns of royalty than IN
der the ragged caps Of the houseless.
Much of the worlds affluenco and gay
ETY. is only misery in colors. Many a
woman seated in the street at her apple
stand is happier than the great bankers.
The mountains of worldly honor are
covered with perpetual SNOW. Tanner
lane conquered half tho world, but
coui: not subdue his own fears. Ahab
goes to bed sick because Naboth will
not sell him his vineyard. Herod is in
agony because little child is born
down in Bethlehem. Great Felix trem-
bles because poor minister will preach
righteousness, temperance and judgment
to come. From the time of Louis XII
to Louis XVIII was there straw bot
toned chair in France that did not sit
more solidly than the great throne on
which the French kings reigned?
Were l called to sketch misery in its
worst form I would not go up to the
Clark alley of the poor, but up the high
way over which prancing Bucephali
strike the sparks with their hoofs and
between statuary and parks of stalking
deer. Wretchcdness is more bitter when
swallowed from gemmed goblets than
from earthen pitcher or pewter mug. If
there are young people here who are
looking for this position and that cir
