PICTURE FROM REAL LIFE.
A comfortable home, with nothing
more than ordinary surroundings,
but an attractive daughter carefully
and christianity reared. From the
outside world comes in man with
nothing but money-unless you count
profanity and selfishness and fond
ness for champaign and general reck-
lessness as a part of his professions.
He has his coat collar turned up
when there is no chill in the air, but
because it gives him an air of aban
don; and eye glass, not because he is
near sighted, but because it gives
him classical appearance, and with
an attire somewhat loud, a cane thick
enough to be the club of Hercules and
clutched at the middle, his CONVEX
sation interlarded with French phra-
SEES inaccurately pronounced. BY
i-aHs learned of the devil he insinu-
ates himself into the affections of the
daughter OF that christian home. Re-
pqrts come in that the young man is
fbt in his habits; that he has broken
skveral young hearts and that he is
skfsh and cruel But all this is
cSvered up with the fact that he has
sk-eral houses in his own name and
l4ge deposits at the bank. The mar
riage day comes AMI goes. The wed
ding ring was costly enough and the
orange blossoms fragrant enough and
the benediction solemn enough Now
see them in their new home. He
turns out TO be a tyrant. Instead of
tue kind words she left behind in her
| former home, now there are COM
plants and fault findings and curses.
He is the master and she is the slave
Can halls Of mosaic, could violins
played by an Ole Bull or pianos fing-
cred by a Gottschalk make wife in
such companionship happy? I'm
prisoned in acastle! Her gold brace
let's are the chains OF lifelong SER
vitude. Her wardrobe is full of
shrouds for deaths which she dies
daily. Before things are right in
this world, genteel Williams are to be
expurgated. Instead OF being well
coined into respectable society be-
cause of the amount of medals and
estates they represent, they ought to
be fumigated two or three years be-
fore they are allowed TO put their
hand on. the door knob of a moral
house. The time must come when a
masculine estray will be as repugnant
to good society as q feminine estrav.
All the money or social position bad
man brings to woman IN marriage
is & splendid dispair, q prolonged
death. Consent not to join one OF
the many regiments of women who
have married for worldly success
without regard to moral character

/ gevity in a fact that it is a protest
against designations which iniure and
destroy the health Bad men and
women live very short life. Their
sins kill them. You all know many
good old men and but very few bad
old men. Why? Bad men seldom
live to get old Lord Byron died at
Missolonghi at thirty six years Of
age, himself his own Mazeppa. his
unbrfdled passions the horse that
dashed with him into the desert
Edgar Allen Poe died at Baltimore at
thirty-eight years of age. The black
raven that alighted on the bust above
his chamber door was delirium ire
mems.
Only this and nothing more.
Napoleon Bonapart lived only lust
beyond mid-life, and died at ST. Hello
ma, and one of his doctors said that
his disease was induced by excessive
snufing. You have known many
people who have not lived out half
their days on account of their dissi-
pations and indulgences. Now prac-
tlcal religion is protest against all
dissipation of any kind.
Dau you say pIOieSSOTS OF religion |
have fallen, professors of religion
have misappropriated trust funds.
professors of religion have absconded. |
This is all true out they threw ar-av
their religion before they did their |
morality and before they did these
evil acts. If a man on White Star
Line steamer bound for Liverpool in
mid-Atlantic jumps overheard and is
drowned, is that anything against
the White Star Lines capacity to |
take the man across the ocean? And |
If q man jumps over the gunwale of
his religion and goes down never to
rise, is that any reason for your be- |
heving that religion has no capacity |
to take the man clear through? In |
the one case If he had kept to the |
steamer his body would have been
saved; in the other case if he had |
kept to his religion his morals would |
have been saved.
