At.different times I have pointed out to you
the lountains of municipal corruption, and
this morning I propose to show you w hat are
the means for the rectification of those foun
I litre are four or five kinds of salt
that have a cleansing tendency. Ho far a
t.'Hl may help me, I shall bring a cruse of
salt to the work, and empty it into the great
reservoir of municipal crime, sin, and shame,
iKtiorunco and übouiination.
In this work of cleansing our cities, I have
lirsi to remark, that there is a work for the
broom and -hovel that nothing else can do.
1 lit re always has been an intimate connection
between iniquity? and dirt. The filthy parts
'd t he great cities aro always the most iniqui
tons parts. The gutters and the pavements
of ! he l'Ourtli Ward, New York, illustrate
an.t ' v mboli/c the ciiaracter of the iieople in
tiie I ’ourth Ward.
I lie fir.- 1 thing that a bad man does when
he is converted is thoroughly to wash him
self. 1 here wore, this morning, on the way
to the dilb reiit churches, thousands of men m
proper apparel who, In-fore their conversion
were unlit, m their Sabbath dress. When on
tlie Sabbath 1 see a man uncleanly in his
dr.-ss, my suspicions in regard to his moral
character arc aroused, and they aro nlwavs
' v cil fi'iindcd. So as to allow no excuse lor
lark of ablution. God bits del t the cent incuts
w ith river and lakes, and has sunk live great
oceans, and all the worl 1 ought to be (dean.
A"a\, thois, with the dirt from our cities,
not only because tile physical health needs ail
ablution, but because all the great moral and
religious interests of the cities demand it ns a
positive necessity. A filthy city always has
bee" and always will be a wicked city.
Through the upturning of the earth for
great improvement our city could not be ex
jM-ctcd t ■ be as clean as usual, but for the
illimitable dirt of Krooklyn for the last six
mouths there is 110 excuse. It is not merely
a matt.-i- of dust in the eyes, and mud for the
shoes, and o! Men h for the nostrils, but of
morals for the soul.
A noth r correct ive influence that we would
brine to bear upon the evils of a great cities
is a *ln ist ian printing pres. The news

The i.e a -.!,ny who runs along the street
with a roll of papers under Ins arm is a tre
mendous 10, e that cannot le tuniisl aside
nor re isted, and at his every step the
city is elevated or degraded. ' This Inin
gry, all devouring American mind must
have something to read, and upon ed
itors and authors and book publishers and
parent -and t cue hers rests 1 he ivsponsibiht v of
"hat they shall read. Almost every man
you meet hn a hook in his hand or a nows
|>a|s-r in his pocket. What look is it you

ing and the criminal. but until till

Kvery time the cylinders of our groat pub
lishing houses turn they make the earth
•piake. From them goes forth a thought like
an angel o! light to feed and ble.-s the wo Id.
or like an angel of darkness to smite it with
corruption and sin and shnmean l death. May
Uod by His omnipotent Spirit purify and cle
vate the Anieric in pr.uting-pr -ss!
I goon furtlit-i and say that we must de
jx'inl upon the school lor a great-deal of cor
recting iiillueuce. A community can no more
afford to have ignorant mu in its midst than
it can afford to have un.aged lijenas. 1••

lutelleetual darkno.-s is generally the piv
cursor of moral darkness. 1 know
there are educated outlaws—men
who, through their sharpness of in
tellect, are made more dangerous. They
use their tine jx'iuii in -hip in signing other
people s names, and their sefenee in ingenious
burglaries, and their line manners in adroit
libertinism. They go their round of sin with
well rut upturn 1, and dangling jewelry, and
watches of eighteen karats, and kid gloves.
They art- refined, (xlueated. magnifiwnt vi 1-
lains. Hut that is theexeeplion. It is generally
the ease that the criminal classes area- igno
rant as they arc wicked. Tor the proof of
what 1 say. go into the prisons and jieniten
t uiries. and look ui>on the men and women in
eaiveratisi. The dishonesty in the eye. the
low passion in the lip, are not more conspicu
ous than th' ignorance 111 the forehead. The
ignorant classes are always the dangerous
classes. Demagogues marshal them. They
are helmless, and are driven before the gale.
U is high time that all city and State au
thority, as well as the Federal Government,
appreciate the awful statistics that while years
ago in this country there was set apart fortv
eight miliii'iis of acres fi'r school purjiost's.
there are now in New England one hundred
and ninety-one thousand people who can
neither read nor write, and in the State of
Pennsylvania two hundred and twenty
two thousand who can neither rea 1 nor
"rite, and in the State of New York two
hundred and forty one thousand who (an
neither raid nor write, w hile in the United
States there are nearly six millions who can
neither read nor write. Statistics enough to
stagger and confound any man who loves his
t>od and h<s country. Sow, in view of tins
fact, I am iu favor of compulsory educa
tion. tV heu parents are so liestial as to neglect
this duty to the child. 1 say the law,
with a strong hand, at the same time with a
gentle hand,ought to lead these little ones into
the light of intelligence and gool morals. It
was a beautiful tableau when in our eitv a
s ' T *rf hv policeman, having picked up a lost
child in the street, was found appeasing its
ones with a stick of candy he had nought at
the apple-stand. That was well done and
beautifully done. But, oh: these thou
sands of little ones through our streets
who are crying for the braid of know ledge
and intelligence. Shall we not give it to
them* The officers of the law ought to go
down into the cellars and up in tiie garrets
and bring out these benighted little ones, and
put them under educational influences; after
they hare passed through the bath and under
the comb, putting before them the spelling
book, and teaching them to read the
Lords Prayer and'the Sermon on the
Mount: “Blessed are the poor iu spirit, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Our city
ought to be father and mother 'ooth to these
outcast little ones. Asa recipe for the cure
of much of the woe, and want, and crime of
our city, 1 give the words which Thorwaldseu
hud chiseled on the open scroll in the hand of
John Gutenberg, the inventor of the art of
printing: “Let there be light!"
Still further: Reformatory societies are :m
important element in the rectification of the
public fountains. Without ealliug any of
them by name, I refer more especially to
those which recognize the physical as well a
the moral woes of the world. There was
pathos and a great ileal of common sense iu
what the poor women said to Dr. Cuthrie
when he was telling her what a very good
w oman she ought to be. “Oh,‘ she said, “if

How many are waiting for you to come out
in tin- spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and
rescue them from the wretchedness here! Oh,
that tin Church of God hail arms long
enough and hearts warm enough to take them
up! How many of them there are! As 1 wars
thinking of the subject this morning, it
seemed t. me as though there was a great
brink, and that tlies, little ones with
eut- and torn feet were coming on
toward it. And here is a group of
orphans. O fathers and mothers, what do
you think of these fatherless and motherless
little, ones; No hand at home to take care of
tneir apparel, no heart to pity them. Said one
little one, uhen the mother (lied: “Who will
take care of my clothes now?” The little ones
are thrown out in this great cold world They
are shivering on the brink like lambs on the
v< rge of a precipice. Does not your blood run
cold as they go over it!
And her. is another group that come on to
ward the precipice. They are the children of
besotted parents. They are worse off than
orphans. Look at that pale cheek; woe
bleu.-lied it. Look at that gash across the
forehead; the father struck it. Hear that
heart piercing cry: a drunken mother's
blasphemy compelled it. And we
come out and we say: “O ye
suffering, peeled and blistered ones,
we come to help you.” “Too late!” cry thou
snn Is of voices. “Tho path w-o travel is
steep down, and we can’t stop. Too late!”
And we catch our breath and wo make a ter
riti.- outcry. “Too late!” is echoed from the
garret to cellar, from tho gin-shop and from
brothel. “Too lat*!” It is too late, and they
go over.
Here is another group, an army of
neglected children. They come on toward
the brink, and every time they step ten
thousand hearts break. The ground is red
wit h the blood of their feet. The air is heavy
with their groans. Their ranks are being
tilled up from all the houses of iniquity and
shame. Skeleton Despair pushes them on to
ward the brink. The death-knell has already
liegun to toll and the angels of
God hover like birds over the plunge
of a cataract. While these chil
dren are on the brink they halt, and throw
out their hands, and cry: “Help! help!” 0
Church of God, will you help' Men and
women bought by tho blood of the Son of
God, will you help? while Christ cries from
the heavens: “Save them from going down;
1 am the ransom.”
1 stopped on the street and just looked at
the face of one of those little ones. Have you
ever examined the faces of the neglected chil
dren of the poor? Other children have glad
ness in their faces. When a group of them
rush across tln* road, it seems as though a
spring gust had unloosened an orchard of
apple blos-onis. But these children of tho
poor. There is but little ring in their laughter,
and it stops quick, as though some bitter
memory trip|x-d it. They have an old walk.
They do not skip or run up on the lumber
just for the pleasure of leaping down. They
never bathed in the mountain stream. They
never waded in the brook for pebbles. They
never chased the butterfly across the lawn,
putting their hut right down where it was
just before. Childhood has been dashed out of
them. Want waved its wizard wand above the
manger of their birth, and withered leave*
are lying where Go lint ended a budding giant
of battle. Once iu a while one of these chil
dren gets out. Here is one, for instance. At
ten years of age he is sent out by his parents,
who say to him : “Here is a” basket—now
go off and beg and steal.” The boy
says : “l can’t steal.” They kick
him into a corner. That night he puts his
swollen head into the straw; but a voice
comes from heaven, saying: “Courage, poor
bov. courage!” Covering up his head from
the beastiality, and stopping his ears from
th- 1 cursing, he gets 011, lieitcr and better.
He w ishes his face clean at the public hy
drant. With a few pennies got at running
errands, he gets a better coat. Rough
men. knowing that he comes from a low
street, say: “Back with you, you little
villain, to the place where you came from.”
But that night the boy says: “God help me,
1 can't go backand quicker than ever
mother Hew at theory of a child’s pain, the
Lord responds from the heavens: “Courage,
poor boy. courage!" His bright face gets
lnm a position. After a while he is second
clerk. Years pass on and he is first clerk.
Years pass on The glory of young manhood
is on him. He comes into the firm. He goes
ou from one business success to another. He
has achieved great fortune. He is the friend
of the church of God. the friend of all good
institutions, and one day he stands talking to
the Board of Trade, or to the Chamber of
Commerce. People say: “Do you know who
that is? Why. that is a merchant prince,
and he was born 0:1 Elm street. But
God says in regard to him something
better than that: “These are they which
came out of great tribulation, and
had I heir robes washed and made white in the
blood of the Lamb.” O, for some oue to
write the history of boy heroes and girl hero
ines who ha\ e triumphed over want andstarv
ation. and filth and rags. Yea, the record
has already been made—made by the hand of
God: and when these shall come at last with
songs and rejoicing, it will take a very broad
banner to hold the names of all the batle
fields on which they got the victory.
Pome years ago a r Highly ela l ragged boy
came into my brother's office in New York,
ami said: “Mr. Talmage. lend me live dol
lars.” My brother said; “Who are you?”
The bov replied: “I am nobody. Lend me
five dollars.” “What do you want to do with
five dollars?” "Well,” the boy replied, “my
mother is sick and poor,and I want to go into
the newspaper business, and I shall get a home
for her. and I will i -ay you back.” My brother
gave him the five dollars, of course, never ex
pecting to see it again: but he said: “ When wil
you pay it?” Th - boy said: “I will pay it in
six months, sir.” Time went by. and one day
a lad came into my brother's office, and said:
“There's vour five dollars.” “What do you
mean? What five dollars?’ inquired my
brother. ‘‘Don't you remember that a bov
came in here six 111'ont hs ago and wanted to bor
row five dollars to go into the newspaper
business .” “O, yes, i rememlier: are you the
lad?” "Yes." he replied, “I have got along
nicely. 1 have got a nice home for my mother
(she is sick yeti, and I am as well clothed as
you are. and there's your five dollars.’’ <3,was
he not inerth saving? Why that lad is worth
fifty such boys as I have sometimes seen mov
ing in elegant circles, never put to any use
for God or man. Worth saving! Igo farther
than that, and tell you they are not
only worth saving, but they are being saved.
One of these lads picked up from our streets,
and sent West by a benevolent society, wrote
East, saving: “I am getting along first rate.
1 am on probation in the Methodist Church.
I shall be enteral as a member the first of
next month. I now teach a Sunday-school
class of eleven boys. I get along first rate
with it. This is a splendid country to make a
living in. K tin- boys running around the
street with a blacking box ou their
shoulder, or a bundle of papers under their
arms, only knew what high old times we boys
have out here, they wouldn’t hesitate about
coming West, but come the first chance they
get.” So some by one humane and Chris
tian visitation, and some by another, are be
in.: rescued. In one reform school through
\\ inch two thousand of the little ones pas-cd,
one thousand nine hundred and ninety
five turned out wed. In other
words, only five of the two thousand
turned our badlv. There are thousands
of them who, through Christian societies,
have been transplanted to beautiful homes all
over this land, and there are many who,
through the rich grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, have already won the crown. A little
gii 1 was found in the streets of Baltimore an l
taken into one of the reform societies, and
they said to her: '-What is your name?”
She sa:d: “My name is Mary?" “What
is your other name?' She said: "I don’t
know.” So they took her into the reform
society, and as they did not know her last
name they always called her “ Marv Los:,"
site -he had been picked up out of tiie street.
But sue grew on, and after awhile the Holy
Spirit came to her hart, and she became a
Christian child, and she changed her name:
and when anybody asked her what her name
was, she said: “It used to be Mary Lost; but
now since 1 have become a Christian, it is
Mary Found.”
For this vast multitude, are we willing to
go forth from this morning s service and see
what we can do, employing all the agencies I
have spoken of for tiie rectification of tho poi
soned fountains? We live in a beautiful
city. The iines have fallen to us in
pleasant places, and we have a goodly
heritage; an-1 any man who does not like a
resilience in Prooklyn. must be a most un
comfortable and unreasonable man. But, my
friend-, the material prosperity of a city is
not its chief glory. There may be fine houses
and beautiful streets, and that all be the
garniture of a sepulchre. Some of the most
prosperous c.tie-s of the world have gone
down, not one stone left upon another. But
a city may te in ruins long before a tower
has (alien, or a column has crumbled, or a
tomb has been d*-t'aced. When in a city the
churches of God are full of cold formalities
and inanimate religion: when the houses of
commerce are the abode of fraud an l unholy
traffic; when the streets are filled with
crime unarrested and syi unenlightened
un-l helplessness unpitied—that city is in
ruins, though every church were” a St.
Peter's, and every moneyed institution were
a Dank of England, and every library were a
British Museum, and -very house had a
porch like that of Rheims.and a roof like that
of Amiens, and a tower like that of Antwerp,
and traceried windows like those oT Freiburg.
My brethren, our pulses beat rapidly the
time away, and soon we shall be gone: and
what we have to do for the city in which we
live we must do right speedily, or never do it
at all. In that day when those who have
wrapjied themselves in luxuries and despised
the jtoor,shall come to shame and everlasting
contempt, I hops it may be said of you
and me that we gave bread to the hungry,
and wiped away the tear of the orphan, and
upon the wanderer of the street we opened the
brightness and benediction of a Christian
home; ami then, through our instrumental
ity. it shall be known on earth and in heaven,
that Mary lost became Mary found!
Their Winter Quarters.
What n puzzle it is to know what be
comes of the turtles, frogs, toads and
other inhabitants of tho water ! Justus
soon as the ice disappears these inhabi
tants of the ponds begin to show them
selves, first one and then another. A
writer to the Swiss Gross tells us;
“Some have been puzzled to know
where all the frogs came from last spring,
almost before the frost was out of the
ground. They all seemed well and able
to sing; and in no way did they appear
to have suffered from the cold weatlier.
I am often obliged, during the winter
months, to secure the assistance of a frog
to make the fact of blood circulation
plain to my students in zoology, and, as
I do not always have a supply of frogs
on hand, I have many times gone to
their winter homes and taken them out
of their comfortable quarters for a course
in the laboratory. A spring is selected
which contains as many stones, sticks,
leaves, and as much mud as possible,
and a regular attack upon the inhabi
tants is at once commenced. I first dig
a ditch to drain off tho water, and then
I remove carefully the sticks and stones,
watching all the time for signs of life
under each piece; and afterward I dig
down in the mud, usually with my
hands, to avoid hurting the animals
which may be buried in it. I have
never failed to catch several frogs, cray
fish, newts, worms, and sometimes min
nows and smaller animals, fit for winter
study. I have always been repaid for
my trouble by the enthusiasm with
which three or four students—who vol
unteered to help me—dig in the mud
after the specimens, and by the interest
they take in learning how a frog passes
a cold winter in Northwestern Pennsyl
vania, at an altitude of twelve hundred
feet above the sea, when the temperature
is often twenty degrees below zero, and
the ground frozen from three to five feet
deep. Of course, large numbers of
these animals winter in swamps, though
we cannot find them there; but we may
be always sure of our game if we choose
a living spring.
At Castle Garden.
In the garden at the time of the re
porter’s visit was a family of Russian
Jews who had arrived the night before.
They had been detained until the Com
mission should render a formal decision
upon them. Not one of them could be
called able-bodied. They wei'e infirm,
knew no trade, had been at the best
but peddlers in Russia, which meant
beggars, were ragged, dirty, wretched,
to the last degree, had not as much as a
cent of money, and were without rela
tives or friends here. The representa
tive of the Hebrew Immigrants’ Aid So
ciety had talked with them, but even he,
with all the race devotion which charac
terizes the Jews, could not bring him
self to say that he would see that they
became self-supporting members of the
community. A decision had been quick
ly reached and presently it was commu
nicated officially to the group. They
could not understand a word of English,
but they had been told that there was
great doubt of their being allowed to
land, and they sought to glean from the
official’s tones and facial expression the
purport of his report. They watched the
reading with the most painful interest,
mouths open, hands upraised, and when
it had been concluded and the interpre
ter had told them in one word its mean
ing, they fell into the most extravagant
lamentation. The leader of the party,
an old man whose toes protruded from
his boots, fell upon the floor and tried
to embrace the official’s knees w die sup
plicating him in unintelligible jargon to
let them remain. They were sternly
told to make no disturbance, and were
left to themselves until the barge should
come to take them back to the steamer.
Their moaning and wailing continued
for hours, the men making all the noise,
while the one or two women with pinch
ed and long-drawn faces rocked their in
fants to and fro and said nothing. It
was altogether a most pitiful spectacle.

Lost His Life.
Sessums, who owns? the
grocerv at Sessums Station, near *“'tark
ville, Miss., has lost a good deal of his
stock during the spring by the depreda
tions of burglars. Last Monday night
he set a’trap for the rascals by charging
his gun heavily with buckshot,
cocking it, and setting it in such a posi
tion that the first man who attempted to
open the door was bound to be shot.
Tuesday morning he came down to the
store as usual and forgetting all aliout
the gun, unlocked the door and opened
it. Both barrels were discharged as if
by clock work, and the entire load en
tered his body. At last accounts he waa
i lingering between life and death.
Ldueatiug Biare Boys*
From Scharfs Illustrated History of
the Confederate Navy, published by
W. H. Shej ard & Cos., of Atlanta, Ga.,
we find a very interesting hi-tory of the
Confederate Naval Academy. The school
started July 23, 1803, under the super
vision of Commander John M. Brooke,
C. S. N., one of the most accomplished
sailors of his day, and he had an able
staff.
The staff remained almost intact until
the school perished with the Confederacy.
In the summer of 1864, Lieut. O. F.
Johnson relieved Lieut. Hall as com
mandant of midshipmen iu order that
the latter might devote more attention to
the instruction of the classes, and in No
vember, Lieut. B. P. Loyall relieved
Lieut. Johnson. The only other change
of importance was that later Com. James
Henry Rochelle was ordered to the school
as commandant of midshipmen and exec
utive officer. As far as the exigencies of
war would permit, the organization,
studies and discipline of the school were
modeled upon the curriculum of tbe
U. 8. Naval Academy. Cadets were ap
pointed by members of Congress from
their respective districts and by the
President from the Confederacy at large,
and the school began work with fifty
acting midshipmen. They were required
to be not under fourteen nor over eigtit
een years of age, and on the roll were
represented many of the most distin
guished families' of the South. After
passing a physical examination and an
examination on such elementary studies
as reading, writing, spelling and the four
principles of arithmetic, they became
acting midshipmen and entered upon
their studies, which comprised six de
partments and twenty-two branches,
There were four annual courses and the
midshipmen were arranged into four
classes, each class pursuing one of these
courses. The studies of the fourth class
embraced practical seamanship, naval
gunnery and artillery and infantry tac
tics, algebra to equations of the first de
gree, English grammar and descrip
tive geography; those of the third
class, practical seamanship, gunnery
ami artillery and military tactics,
algebra, geometry, plane and spher
ical trigonometry, physical geography,
history and the French language; those
those ©f the second class, seamanship
and steam, gunnery and field artillery,
astronomy, navigation, application of al
gebra and trigonometry to mensuration
of planes and solids, political science and
French; those of the first class, seeman
ship and naval tactics, gunnery, infantry
tactics, navigation, surveying, French
and Spanish.
The Academic Board held examina
tions in each June and December, and
the December examination was attended
by a board of visitors, commanders, whe
ascertained and decided upon the quali
fications of the midshipmen for promo
tion ; and as rapidly as the latter were
deemed proficient they were ordered to
ships, batteries, or other duty. The
Patrick Henry was usually stationed near
Drewry’s Bluff, the scene of desperate
fighting, and by the time they were sent
to distant service they were versed in the
practice as well as the theory of war. II
the routine of a day was not broken by a
summons to man the guns on shore, or
do scouting, or take part in boat expedi
tions, it was full of hard work on board.
The morning gun was fired at seven
o’clock, and at eight a breakfast of hard
tack and a decoction of sweet potatoes
or beans that masqueraded as coffee was
served. Sick call, studies And recitations
occupied the hours m/iM tJXQ o’clock,
and then came a dinner of salt junk,
perhaps a mess of vegetables, and the
inevitable corn-meal that became a staple
article of diet when wheat flour climbed
toward $1,200 per barrel in Confederate
currency. School exercises aud dress
parade took up the remainder of the clay
ended with tattoo at 9:30, and taps at
10 o’clock. Near the close of the war,
when it became necessary to have the
hoys on shore pretty much all the time
to stand to th&.guns, they occupied huts
in the Drewry’s Bluff batteries. Such a
training nourished and strengthened
their flnest qualities, and it is not re
markable that so many of them have
since risen to positions of great honor
and trust, and exemplified the virtues
and worthy ambitions of civil life.
A Mnlfffnde of Ailments.
The ailments which afflict she kidneys and
bind er are so mime: our, that merely to name
them would till a space far ou.running the
iim.ts of tiiis article. Suffice it tosay.that they
are both obstinate and dangerous. To ti er
prevention Hostetter’s Stomach Biite: s is we'. 1
adapted. The stimulus wh.ehit lerds to t e
• a- : iou of the kidneys when they are legarthic,
servo to counteract a tendency in the .1 to
laps-.-, firs', into a state o: pernicious inactiv
ity, an! ait-rwa-ds into one of positive organic
disc i-e. which soon destroys the.r del cat j in
t guments, j oison- the b odd and causes death.
A double purpose is served b, this depnre t.
it promotes active y of the kidneys, and expels
impurities from the blood which i ave no nat
ural c an u i of outlet, except tho-e organs.
('o.istipat ion, bil ou-ncss, fever and a 'lie. rheu

CONSUMPTION, WEAK LUNGS, SPITTING OF BLOOD.
Golden Medical Discovery cures Consumption (which is Scrofula of the Lunge), by its wonderful blood-purifying, invigora

and kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. While it promptly cures the severest Coughs it strengthens the system
