Bre dfr m home 1 Bread from home 1
Carrying out the id a of my text, I re
mark that a recklessi rdiss’patedson makes
a heavy-hearted parent because it burls ihe
family pride. It is not the given name, or
the name which you rec ivej at the christ
ening, that is injured by your pr duality.
You cannot hurt your name of J In or
Oe rge or Henrv or Mary or Frances or
Rachel, because there have b en theusauds
of people, good and bad. haviDg those names,
and you cannot improve or de; reciate the
respectability of t.iose given names. But it
is your last name, y ur family name, that is
at your merer. All who bear that name
are bound, before God and man, not to
damage its happy significance. You
are charged, by all the generations
of the pa-t and ail the gem-ratio s to come,
to do vi ur share for the protection and the
fcoi or”and the integrity of that name. You
have no riuht, my young friend, by a had
life lo biot the old family Bi le containing
the story of the marriages and births and
deati sof tne years gone by, or to cast a
blot upon th family Bibl -s whose records
are yet to bo opened. Tue e are in our
American city directories mines that al
ways s gge-st commercial dishonesty, or li >•
ertinism, oreruelty, or meanness, just be
came one man or woman bearing that natno
cursed it forever by miscreancy. Look
out how you stab the family
camel It is” espeeia'ly dear to your
mother. She was not born under tta*
came. She was barn under anoth r name,
but the years pas ed on and sue came to
you g womanho and, and 6he saw someone
with whom she could trust her happiness,
her life, and tier i mortal destiny; ad she
took his name, took it while the orange
blossoms were filling the air with frag ance,
took it wit i j lined hands, to k it wnile the
heavens witnessed. She chose it out'fall
the family 11am s since the world stood,
cbi se it for bettor or worse, thro igh sick
ness and 'lirough health, by cradles and by
graves. Yea, she put off her old family
tame to take the family name you uow
wear, and she has done her part to
make it an honorable name. How
heavy a trouble you put upon her whe , by
misdeeds, you wrench that name from its
high significance! To haul it down from
your mother’s forehead and trarni le it in
the dust would be criminal. Your father’s
name may not be a distinguished name, but
Ihipe it stinds for something good. It
may not be famous, like t iatof Ho ner, the
fattier of epic poe:ry, or Izaak Walton, the
father of angling or JEicbylus, the father
of tragedy, or Etbelwold, the father of
monks, or Hero lotus, the father of history,
i>r Thomas Aquinas, the father of moral
jihilosi.pby, or Abraham, the father of the
faithful, but your father has a name i:i a
ssnall circle as precious to hi n as theirs in a
larger circle. Look out how you tarnish it!
'.Further, the recklessness and dissipation
of & young man are a cause of parental dis
tress at a time whe i tue parent is less abl >
to I ear it. The vicissitudes of life have left
their impression upon those parents. The
eye is not as clear as ones, nor the hearing
as acute, nor the nerves as steady, nor the
step as strong, and with the tide of Incom
ing years comes the weight of unfilial
betiavior. You take your parents at a
great disadvantage, for they cai not stand
as much as they once could. They h ve
not the elasticity of feeling with which
once they could throw off trouble. That
shoulder, now somewhat bent, cannot
ts*r si heavy a burden as once it c iuld.
At the time whea the machinery is
getting worn out you put upon it the most
terrific strain. At sixty and seventy years
the vitality is not so strong as at thirty or
forty. Surely they are descending the
down grade of life swiftly enoug.i without
your increasing the momentum. They will
be gone soon enough witnout your pushing
them away. Call in all the doctors who
ever lived since Hippocrates 1 at-eil med
cine from a superstition to a sc ence, aud
thev could not cure tie heartbreak of a
mother over her ruined boy. There may
be, as some suppose, enough herbs on earth,
if di covered, to cure all tne ailments of the
body ; hut nothing save a leaf from the tree
of the heavenly paradise Cm cure a wound
made by a foolisu son who is the heaviness
of his mother.
Perhaps it is a go~d f-ing that cruel treat
ment i y a chihi abbrevia es a parent's life;
for what is there desirable in a’ father’s life
or a mother’-, life if its p ace is gone? Do
you not think death is something beneficent
if it stops the mother’s heart from achi !g
and her eyes from weeping, ad says: “You
need not bear the excruciation any longer.
Go and sleep. I will put the defense of a
marble slab between you and that boy’s
outrages. Go now where the wicked ceise
from troubling and the weary are at rest.”
At the departure of sucn mothers let the
music bo an anthem instead of a dirge.
While y u and I hear no sound, yet there
are at this moment tens of thousands of
parental hearts bre iking. All care was
taken with the boy’s schooling, all good
counsels given, and the equipment for a
sober and earnest ad useful life was pro
vided. but it has all go 10, aid the foolish
son has become the heaviness of his mother.
Much of the poignancy of the parental
grief arises fromtne ingratitude of such be
havior. \\ hat an undertaking it is to con
duct a family through the ailmeuts and ex
posures of early life! Talk a out the skill
demanded of a sea captain commanding a
ship across the ocean! That requi; es less
skill than to navigate a young soul in safety
across Ihe infantile and boyhood years, ihe
sicknesses that assault, ihe temptations that
entrap, the anxieties that are exci ed!
Young mau, you will never know what
your mother has suffered for you. You
■will never know how your father has toiled
for you. You have been in all their
thoughts, in ail their plans, in all their
prayers, from the time y ur first breath
m. drawn to this moment’s respiration.
What they c uld do for your health, w at
they could do for your happi ess, what they
could do for your mind, what they could
do for your soul, have been absprb
ing questions. To earn a livelihood
for you has not always been an easy
thing for y ur father. By what fatigues of
bodv and what disturbances of mind, aid
Jong years of struggle, in which sometimes
tho los es wer... greater than the gains, he
got broad for you, paying for it in t e
sweat of his own brow ad the re i drops of
bis own heart’s blood 1 He looks older than

By th-’ by, 1 wonder what has become
of our old c idle in which ail of us chiidre i
wererreied! I must ask my s.ster next
time. We were a large fa oily, and that
old crad e w.is g lig i good many yeirs.
I remember jus: how it loosed. It was
old-fashioned and had no tapestry. Its two
sides and a canopy all of plain wood, but
there was a great deal of sound ale-ping iu
t iat cradle, and many ac ,es and pains were
siotbedbyit as it moved to and fro by
day and night. Most vividly I remember
that tiieroeners, wmch came out from under
the eradif, were on the top ail ills very
smoith, so smooth that they actually
gliste eJ. They must have been worn
smooth by a loot that long ago cease i its
j urney. How tired the foot that pressed
i some imes must have got! Butitdiinot
stop fir teat. It want right-on aa 1 rocked
for Phebe the first, and for DeVVitt the last.
And it was a era die l.ke that, or perhaps of
in d-rn make ad richly upholstere I, in
which your mother rocked you. Ca iit he
for all that care and devotion you are pay
ing her hack with harsh words or negle is,
or a wicked life? Then I must teil you
that you are the “foolish so i who is the
heaviness of his mother.” Better go I
home and hiss her, and ask her
fo.givenes. Kiss h>r on the li|
that have so often prayed for you. Kiss h t
on the forehead tnat so often ached for you.
Kiss heron the eyes that have so often wept
ver you. Better g i right away,* for she
will be dead before long. And ho.v will
you feel then af er you realize it is your
waywardness that killed her? Romulus
made no law aga'n=t partricide. or t ie slav
ing of a father, matricide, or the slaying of
a m >thi r, because he con ide e ! such crimes
impossible, and for tiJII years there was not
a crime of that sort in Rime. Bat then
came Luc.us Oitius, and slew his father,
proving tue crime p ssib e. Now. do you
not thiuk that the c old, who by wrong”be
havior sends bis father to a premature
grave, is a patricide, or who by misconduct
aaste.is a mother into the tomb, is a matri
cide?
The haviness of parents over a son’s de
pravitv is all ihe gre iter because it means
spiri ual disaster and overthrow. That is
the worst thi ig about it. In the peusio i
i egulatiaus a soldier receives for loss of b >tb
hands or feet $72. For 1 ss of one band and
one foot $3(5. For loss of a hind or foot
S3L For 10-s of both eyes ! $72. But who
can cilculate tne value of a whole man
ruined body, mind, and soul? How can
parents have any happin ss about your
future destiny, oh young man. go e
astray? Can such opp site lives as
you and they are living come out
at the same placo? Can holiness and dis
sipation enter t e same gate? Where is the
little praver that was taught ycu at your
mot er’s knee! Is the God they loved and
worshipped your God? It is your soul about
which th-y are most anxious, y< ur soul
that shall live after the earth itself shall be
girdled with flames, and the flames, dying
down, will leave the planet only a live coal,
and the live coal shall f ave become ashes,
and then the ashes shall be scattered by tha
whirlwinds of the Almighty.
“But,” says some young man,“my mother
is gone; my be.iavior will not trouble her
any more.
Oh that those lips had language! Life has
passed
With me but roughly since I heard thee last.
Whatl Is she deal? How you startle me!
I' she dead? Than perhap; you have her
picture. Hang it up in your room in the
place where you oftenest look. Go an l
stud her feature!, and while you are look
ing the past will come back, and you may
hear her voice, which is n nv so still, speak
again, saying: “From my heavenly h ime,
my dear hoy, I solicit your ref rma ion and
salvation. Go to the Christ who pardoned
me, and he will pardon vou. My heaven
will not be complete till I hear of your
cnanging. But I will h-arof it right away,
for there is j >y up here when one siuner re

tears and anxieties and prayers! Come,
my boy, do you not hear your mother’s

i c uld die for thee! O my son, my son!
Young man! what news for Heaven would
be your conversio i. Swifter than tele
grapkc wire ever carried congratulations
to awe lding or a coronation would fly
heave iward the news . f your deliverance;
aud whether the one most interests 1 in vour
salvation were on the river hauk, or iu the
temple, or on the battlements, or in the
great tower, the message would be instantly
received, and before tms service is closed
angel would cry to angel: “Have you
heard the news? Out yonder is a mother
who has just heard of'her wayward boy’s
redemption. Another prodigal has got
home. The dead is alive again, and the
lostisfouud. Hallelujah! Amen!”
ALLISON AND THE fTAKIFF.
He Thinks It Should be Reduced But
Doesn’t Particularize.
Washington, March 16.—Senator Alli
son is doitfg a good deal of talki g about
the tariff. He says tho tariff ought to be
reduced, but he is very indefinite in his
suggestions. He was asked yesterday on
what line, in his opinion, the Republican
partv s sould proceed to revise the tariff.
He answered: “I should say that it is con
ceded by all republicans that it is the duty
of this congress to make a revision of the
tariff. This we promised to do in our plat
form and otherwise, and some revision is
necessary. In making this revision there
should be an enlarge.nent of the free list
wherever that can be safely ad properly
done; there should be a reduction on a
good many articles land doubtless
will be; there sh .uld be more exactness as
respects classification, a id here and there
corrections of inequalities w icti now exist
as to rates of duty. Within these lines the
republicans ough to revise ttie tariff. There
are doubtless difficulties which will arise
when congres shall come to deal with the
great details of the tariff, ami here and
there there will be c . flicting interests re
spe ting rntes of duty and re acting the
things to be put upon the free list; but
these difficulties must be reconciled so as to
accomplish the greatest good to every part
of the country."

A MONTANA FORTUNE,
The Bulk of Judjre Davis' 87,000.000
Will Go to New Tori.
A large share of the b.g fortune of Judge
J hn J. Davis, the richest man in Montana,
who died last Tuesdiy in Butte, wid go to
New York heirs, says the New York Sun.
Judge Davis left an estate of more than
S7,COj,OA, and ab ut a th.rl of this will go
to his brother, Erwin Davis, and hri nephew,
Henry A. R >ot, b >lh lawyers of New York.
Jud :e Davis’ career in Montana was one of
fabulous good fortune. He went there in
18i*4, w..en tho territory was as much a wil
derness as was Califor ia in ’49. Ti ere was a
mining excitement tnere that year similar to
the California craze fifteen j ears before.
Ju lg ■ Davis previ >usly lived in lowa. He
was a democrat, and ia the dark days of
1804 he became convinced that the Country
was in a bad way. Sohepuliel up stakes,
pack,ai all hii availahl? possessio s in iwo
or three carts, aid started off over the
plains toward tue Montana inti When
he re tc.iod the camps he sold his goods for
four tunes what they had cost uiro, and he
then had a fair capi a! to start on. Finally,
when he had disp sed if all but a half
broken-down white horse, a miner came
along who was “down on his luck.” He
made Davis tnis propo-ition: •
“Siy, s:ra igi r. I’m going back east. I’ve
got a ciaim back nere mat I esn’t afford to
work any longer, hut 1 believe anybody
with a little money could make a good
tiling out ■ f it. I’ve got to give it up and
wain hack ea t. But the walking isn’t
goad, and if you’ll trade that wmte horse
of yours I’ll make over the ciaim to you.”
Davis investigated a little and dosed the
bargain. He spent his available c.pital in
developing the mine, ad it. became the
famous Lexington, one f iho richest oi that
region. Mr. Davis took a fortune from it
yearl /f Tt venty years, and five years ago
he sold it to Baring Bros, of London, ac ing
for a French syndicate, for $1,000,0 K) ii
cash aud 25 per cant, of the stock. Smca
t len the miue has paid SI,<SOJ,UOJ in divi
dends.
During the past fifteen years Mr. Davis
greatly increa-od his interest in (he mining
r-so irees of Montana, and he was wonder
fully fortnuate. A yea ago hesold to the
But e Mining Company of Boston for $750,-
OOJ cash and $250,000 in stock a mining
company whic i cost him a comparatively
t if! ng sum. He remarked jocosely to one
of his friends in New Yoi k when on a visit
here last year that if he could live ten.
years loneer he t iou lit he should he
worth some money. He owned the Butte
National Bank and a large share of the
Helena National B ink.
Judge Davis was one of the foremost men
of Montana, but he was uever iu public life.
He was one of the most e lergetie of the de
termined body of early settiers wh i stamped
out crime and tamed the outlaws of Mon
tana. The vigilance committee of which
he was a member made the mining camps
of Montana far safer from the depredations
of thieves and blacklegs than are the street i
of New York, or any other big city. From
his connection with this primitive engine
of justice came his sobriquet of “the ju ige.”
About a year ago Judge Davis’ health be
gan to fail, iie went to New York for
treatment, and then returned home. He
had planned to go to Euro e this spri ig,
bu he went further west instead. He was
caught in a snow blockad', and was finally
taken to a hotel in Tacoma, where he was
ill for s >me time. He died of paralysis of
the brain.

by Another.
Marianna, Fla., March 16. —Simpson
Sims (colored), an escaped convict, sh it and
killed Frank Smith (colored), last night. It
seems Fra ,k had beeu warned that Sims in

months ago. At that time ho told several
parties he would he back before long and

Sunday night be went to a negro churca
near here and took an old negro out du ing
service aid heat him unmercifully with a
stick. There is great indignation here
among tho wkite a id colored people, and if
he is caught lie will bo summarily and alt
with. A reward of SIOO is offered by whites
for his capture.
TO SERVE HIS MASTER’S TERM.
An Old Negro Anxious to Figure as
a Vicarious Aton meat.
Raleigh, N. C., March 16.—A decided
sensation has been cau-ed by the appear
ance here of an old colored man who wants
to serve out the term of seven years on the
Dublic mads in the place of Charles E.
CrO'S, the former president of the State
Natioual Bank of this city, who was re
cently convicted of fo gery and embezzle
ment. The old negro was at one time the
faithful and trusted family serva it of Mr.
Cr< ss’fatheand the subs queut erratic
bank president had almost literally grown
up under his charge.
1 The old mail aas persistent in bis de
mands to be allowed to take his young
master’s place, but as there is no law in
North Carolina wnich will allow him to do
so, tho generous-hearted old fellow will
have to relinquish his noble sacrifice.
Beneiicam Domino.
From the Washinoton Post.
Thank God for life I Life is not sweet always.
Bauds may b< heavy laden, heart care full,
Unwelcom nights follow unwelcome id I b;
And dreams and vine end in awakening dull,
Still it is life, and life is caus • tor praise;
This ache, this restlessness, this quickening
sting.
Prove me no torpid and inanimate thing.
Prove me of Him who is ot life the spring,
1 am alive—afiil that is beautiful.
Thank God for love; though love may hurt and
wound.
Though set with sharpest thorns its rose mav
be;
Roses are not of winter, all attuned
Must he the earth filled wita so t air and free.
And warm ere 1 awns ihe rose upon its tree.
Fresh currents through my frozen pulses run,
\ly heart lias tasted summer, tasted suu;
An 1 I thank thee. I.oni. although notoaa
Of all the many roses blooms tor me.
Thank God for death! Bright thing with
dreamy name;
We wrong with mournful flowers her pure,
still brow,
We heap her with reproaches and with blame;
Her s redness au l h r fitness disallow.
Questioning bitterly on the why and how;
But calmly mid our cia nor and surmise
S 0 touches each in tun, and each grows wise,
Tuugnt by tho light in her mysterious eyes,
1 shall be glad, and I am thankful now.

The cloud ami its shiny passenger pa-ed
direct'y over Mr. Yii zry'sfiriii, and biro
off in the direction of the “Blue Jungle.”
Over a score of men, womo 1 and boys
working along the flat attest that they saw
tho same hideous m > s’.or while in his

REVaALEQ by A baby.
A Secret Held by Two Young People
lor Six bong Years.
There is a cute baby, full of plump curves
and pink dimples, up on the Weider farm,
near Phillipsburg, X. J., says a special to
the New York World. It cannot even utter
the word “mamma” yet, for it is only a few
clays old, but it has nevertheless divulged a
secret concerning which the two persons
vitally interested have bean silent for six
years. And one of these persons is a woman,
too.
The little newcomer blinks at the sun
shine and coos in the most happy and un
concerned fashion, little knowing that is
advent on the farm has caused such a sensa
tion ns to make the great tcnguscf Warren
county wag in a must unprecedented
fashion. Had the youngster freeen tais
commotion, with a gener us, filial instinct
it might have postpo ed its visit for six
years more. But nature is inexorable in
some thing-, and the young one, from all
appearances, is here to stav, and Jam-*
I i-ley and pretty Annie Weider, two of
the most efigible young people < f the
county, are eligible no more. They are
married, havi, g kept to themselves tho
secret of their union for six long years.
7 Farmer George Insley resided rear Still
Valley for many years. His lands were
broad and well kept, and the name of
Insley is synonym; us with thrift and in
tegrity. The family is well to do and ac
counted ric h, as people go in this section.
Ten years ago David Weider s -ttled on a
large farm adjoinining the Insleys and
prospered and grew in the esteem of his
neighbors. Both families had grown sons
and daughters, healthy and handsome
v. ung people, who were the life of all
countryside gatherings, and it is not un
natural that of this material should spring
a love affair. Surely no one could blame
James Insley for losing his heart to Annie
Weider. She was the j'oungest of Farmer
David Weider’s children, viacious and
p e .ty, besides possessing all of those quali
ties which promise a gentle mother and a
mod 1 country housewife.
Buxom Annie was 17 then and James was
a paragon of punctuality in paying his
court. There were t\ o years of r, sy love
making, when, suddenly, Ir.sley’s parents
became bitterly opposed to the match. No
reason was give if r the object.on, but It is
said the old folks told James that Annie
Weider should never enter their home ns his
wife. James was dumfounded, but easily
saw a way out of the difficulty without dis
obeying tho lette-of his parents’ inju c ion.
The Weiders, hearing of the object.on, then
said t at Aunie should not marry any one,
as the loss of such a treasure would leave
desolate one of the best homes ia Warren
county.
The young people, however, continued on
the best of term, while they apparently
gave up the intention of marrying," and the
old foiks looked sternly at each other as
they passed by. So six years passed away,
during which time Farmer In ley was laid
to rest in the country cemetery. While
Mrs. Insley was the nominal head of the
house, all the responsibilities devolved upon
James. The old man had died with
out withdrawing his objection to
Annie Weider. James and Annie were ap
parently no more thau very dear friends,
dutiful to their parents, and patientlv
awaiting a reversal of tue decree waicu
kept them apart.
The sh ck came a few days ago. There
was a baby up at Wcider’s, mid Annie was
the mother. Such a sensation! Then the
youog people made a clean breast of the
whole matter. Six years ago tney quietlv
went to Preacher Miller of Easton and
were married. They lived six secretly
happy years, with no one to share their se
crets but the old minister, and
were contented to live six more
in the same fashion awaiting parental
approval. But ttie baby! James producid
the certificate, nd the minister corroborated
the story. Young Insley had no de ire to
take his wife home while liis parents lived,
and was too good a son to desert his mot er
in her gray old age. Hundreds of friends
have visited the farm-house to see the little
one who divulged a great secret, and
though the young people still live at their
re pective homes, the time is very near
when there will be a great big reunion up
at the In-lev and Weider farms.
MEDICAL.
Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many' people miserable,
causing distress after eating, sour stomach,
sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite,
a faint, “ all gone ” feeling, bad taste, coated
. tongue, and irregularity of
the bowels. Dyspepsia does
After not get well of itself. It
requires careful attention,
taring all( j a remedy like Hood's
Sarsaparilla, which acts gently, yet efficiently.
It tones the stomach, regulates the diges
tion, creates a.good ap-
petite, banishes headache, ® K
and refreshes the mind. HeddaCilO
“ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I
had but little appetite, and what I did eat
distressed me, or did me
. little good. After eating I
uU m would have a faint or tired,
all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten
anything. My trouble was aggravated by
my business, painting. Last Sour
spring I took Hood’s Sar- SOUr
saparilla, which did me an StOlTiacn
immense amount of good. It gave me an
appetite, and my food relished and satisfied
the craving I had previously experienced.”
