I remark Miii further that tt j resolution
f the text was founded In a feeling f
tomea.car.ee*. I don’t know how long thi*
yuur.g men how many months, bow many
years, he bad been a'sy from bit father's
house. but there ia something in the read -.g
of my text that mates me think he waa
homesick. Some of you know what that
feeling ia. Far away from home sometime*,
surrounded by everything bright and plea*
act-- plenty of frteods—you have laid “1
would give the world to be home to-night.”
Well, thus young man waa hornet, c* for h.i
father'* bouse. I have no doubt wheo be
thought of his fi tfcer s bouse he said: “Now,
per nape, father may not be living."
We read nothing in thi* story Una para
ble founded on everyday life—we read
nothing about the mother. It aaya nothing
about going home to her. I think she waa
dead. I think aba had died of a broken
heart at hit wandering*. A man never get*
over haring lost his mother. Nothing aaid
about bar here. But be is homesick for his
father* house. He thought he would just
like to go and walk around the old p ace.
He thought he would just like to go and see
if things were aa they used to be. Many a
mas, after having been off a long while,
has gone home and knocked at the door,and
a stranger has come. It ia the old home
stead, but a stranger ooroea to the door. He
finds out father ia gone and mother ia gone,
and brother! and *yrten all gone. I think
tbit young man of the text said to himself:
••Perhaps father may be dead.” Still be
starts to find out. He u homesick. Are
there any here to-day homesick for God,
homesick for heaven*
A sailor, after having been Ion? on the
sea, returned to hit tatter s bouse, and his
mother trfcd t o persoade him not to go aw.y
again. Bbe said “.Now you had hotter
nay at home, don’t go away; we don’t
want you to go: you will hare it a gr-at
deal better nere.” But it maio him
angry. The night before he went
away again to tea, be beard his mother
praying in the next room, and that made
him more angry. He went far out on the
sea and a itorrn name up, and he was or
dered to very perilous duty, and he ran up
the ratline*, and amid the shroud* of the
•hip he beard the votce t’iat he had heard
in the next room. He tried to whistle It
off, he tried to rally his courage; but be
could not silence that voice be beard in the
next room, and there in the storm and the
darkness be said: “O. Lord, what a wretch
I have been; what a wretch I am. Help
roe just now, Lord God.” And I thought
in this assemblage to-day there may be some
who may have the memory of a father’s
petition or a mother’s prayer pressing
mightily upon the soul, and that this hour
they may make the same resolution I And
in my text, saying: “I will arise and go to
my father."
A lad at Liverpool went out to bathe,
went <>ut into the sea, went out too far, got
beyond his depib, and be floated tar away.
A ship bound for Dublin came along and
took him on board. Bailors are generally
very generous fellows, and one gave him a
cap, and another gave him a jacket, and
another gave him shoe*. A gentleman
passing along on the beach at Liverpool
found the lad's clothes and took them home,
and the father was heartbroken, the mother
was heartbroken at the loss of their child.
They bad heard nothing from him
day after day, aud they ordered
the usual mourning for the sad
eveDt. Bat theSlad took ship from
Dublin and arrived in Liverpool the very
day the garments arrived. He knocked at
the door, and the father was overjoyed, and
the mother was overjoyed at the return of
their lost son. O' my friends,have you waded
out too deep? Have you waded down into
sul Have you waded from the shore? Will
you come back? When you come back
will you come in the rags of your sin, or
wtU you oome robed in the Bavior’s right
eousne*e> 1 believe the latter. Go home to
your God to-day. He is waiting for you.
Go home.
But I remark concerning this resolution,
U was immediately put into execution. The
context says, “he arose and came to hts
father.” The trouble in nine hundred and
ninety-nine tiroes out of a thousand is ttiat
our resolutions amount to nothing because
we make them for some distant time. It I
resolve to become a Christian next year, that
amounts to nothing at all. If 1 resolve to
become a obristlan to-morrow that amounts
to nothing at all. If I resolve at the service
to-night to become a Christian, that amounts
to nothing at all. If I resolve after I go
home to-night to yield my heart to God,
that amounts to nothing at all. The only
laud of resolution that amounts to anything
is the resolution that is immediately put
into execution.
Thorn is a man who had the typhoid fever.
He said: “O! if I could get over this ter
rible distress! if this fever should depart, if
I could be restored to health I would all
the rest of my life serve God.” The fever
departed. He got well enough to walk
around the block. He got well enough to
go over to New York and attend to business.
He is well to-day—as well as he ever was.
Where is the broken vow? There is a man
who said long ago: “If I could live to the
year IWI by that time I will have
my business matters arranged, and I
will have time to attend to religion,
and I will be a good, thorough,
consecrated Christian." The year 1891
has come. January, February, March,
April, May, June— almost half oi the year
gone. Where is your broken vow? “O!"
says some man, “I’ll attend to that when I
get my character fixed up; when I can get
over my evil habits; I am now given to
strong drink,” nr, says the man, “I am
given to uncieanlinew,” or, says the man,
“I am given to dishonesty. When I get
over my present habits, then I’ll be a
thorough Christian.” My brother, you will
get worse and worse, until Christ takes you
in baud. “Not the righteous; sinners, Jesus
came to call.”
O! but you say: “I eg re ■ with you on all
that, but I must put it off a little longer.”

In England two young men started from
their father’s house and went down to
Portsmouth. The father could not pursue
bis children; for some reason he could not
leave home, and so he wrote a letter down
to Mr. Griffin, saying: “Mr. Griffin, i wih
you would go and see my two sons. They
have errived In Portsmonth, and they are
goi .g to take ship, and going away from
home. I wish vta would persuade them
back ’’ Mr. Griffin went and be tried to per
suade them back.' He pertuadee one to go. He
went with very easy persuasion because he
was very homesick already. The other
young msii said: “I will not go. I have had
enough of heme. I’ll never go home.”
“Well,” eaid Mr. Griffin, “thenif you won’t
go borne. I’ll get you a respectable position
on a respectable ship.” "No, you won’t,”
said the prodigal; “no, you won’t. I sin
going as a common sailor; that will plague
my father most, and what will do most to
tantalise and worry him will please me
best.’’
Years passed on and Mr. Griffin was
seated in bis study one day when a mes
sage came to him that there was a young
man in irons on a ship at tbs dock—a yonng
man condemned to death—who wished to
sec this clergyman. Mr. Griffin went down
to the dock and went on shipboard. The
young man said to him : “You don’t know
me, do you F' “No,” he said, “I don’t
know you." "Why, don’t you remember
that young man you tried to persuade to go
home and he wouldn’t go J" “O ! yes,” said
Mr. Griffin, “are you that man ?” “Yes, I
am that man,” said the other. ‘‘l
would like to have you prey for
me. I have committed murder and I
must die; but I don’t want to go oat
of this wrld until someone prays for me'
You are my father’s friend and X would
like to have you pray for me." Mr. Griffin
went from judicial authority to judicial
authority to get the young man’s pardon.
He slept not night nor day. He went from
influential person to Influential person until
in some way he got that young man’s par
don. He oarne down on the dock and os he
arrived ou the dock with the pardoa the
father came. He had heard that his son,
under a disguised name, had been commit
ting crime, and was going to tie put to
death. Bo Mr. Griffin and the father went
on ship’s deck, and at the very moment Mr.
Griffin offered the pardon to the young
man, the old father threw his arms around
the son’s nock and the son said: “Father, I
have done very wrong and I’m very sorry.
I wish 1 had nevef broken your heart. I
am very sorry.”' “CM” said the father,
“don’t mention it; it don’t make any dif
ference now. It is all over. I forgive you,
my son,” and he kissed him aud kissed him
and kissed him.
To-day I offer you the pardon of the
gospel—full pardon, free pardon. Ido not
caro what your sin has been. Though you
say you have committed a crime against
God, against your own soul, against your
fellow man, against your family, against
the day of judgment, against the cron of
Christ—whatever your crime has been, here
is pardon, full pardon, and the very moment
that you take that pardou your heavenly
Father throws his arms around about you
and says: “My son, I forgive you. It is
all right. You are as much in my favor
now as if you had never siuned.” O! there
is joy on earth and joy in heaven. Who
will take the Father’s embrace!
There was a gentleman in a rail car who
saw In that same car throe passengers of
very different circumstances. The first was
a maniac. He was carefully guarded by
his attendants; bis mind, like a ship dis
masted, was beating against a dark, deso
late coast, from which no help couid come.
The train stopped, and tbe man was taken
out into tbe asylum, to waste awav, per
haps, through years of gloom. The seoond
passenger was a culprit. The outraged law
bad seized on him. As the oars Jolted tbe
chains rattled. Oa his face were crime, de
pravity and despair. The train halted, and
he was taken out to the penitentiary, to
which he had been condemned. There was
the third passenger, under far different cir
cumstances. She was a bride. Every hour
was gay as a marriage bell. Life glittered
and beckoned. Her companion was taking
her to his father’s house. Tbe train halted.
The old man was there to welcome her to
her new home, and bis white locks snowed
down upon her as he sealed his word with
a father’s kies.
Quickly we fly toward eternity. We will
soon be there. Some leave this life con
demned. O, may it be with us, that, leav
ing this fleeting life for the next, we may
find our Fattier ready to greet us to our
new home with him forever. Tnat will be
a marriage banquet! Father's welcome!
Father’s bosom! Father’s kiss! Heaven!
Heaven!

WOMEN CLIMBED ON COUNTERS.
A Mouse Brings Consternation to a
Storeful of Bhoppera.
New London, Conn., June 21.—There
was a very lively and interesting two min
utes m shopping hours in tbe Bee Hive store
in this city tbe other day, for wben tbe
throng of ladies in this shop was greatest a
mouse crept out of his hole and trotted
down the broad aisle among tbe fashionable
shoppers. Tbe way in which two score
ladies, tbe flower of New London wealth,
culture and decorum, climbed stools and
counters or fled with unbecoming celerity
into the street made a spectacle that the
equally dismayed shop girls haven’t
done giggling about yet. The girls, how
ever, were not one whit behind the custom
ers in climbing counters, aud in less than
ten seconds after tbe mouse appeared be
had the floor indisputably. Finally Charles
Chittenden, a male clerk, bravely strode
into the arena, but the mouse was ready for
him and in two seconds had gone up Mr.
Chittenden’s trousers, and that young man
executed a lively jig in the middle of the
floor, clutching at himself, while all the
women screamed and wrapped their skirts
closer about them. Finally tbe mouse let
go his bold on Chittenden and escaped into
the street, whereat the ladies came off the
oounters and stools. The owner of tbe Bee
Hive estimates that that mouse oost him
not less than (10 in bargain sales.

claimant not putting in an appearance, the
the case was placed In the freight shed here
awaiting an owner. Yesterday the com
pany decided to examine tbe piano, but
wben the case was opened, instead of an in
strument being revealed, tbe interior of the
case was found to be fitted np as a com
fortable little apartment, bearing traoes of
having been occupied by a man and woman
during tbe trip acro<s tbe continent.
A good soft mattress was on tbe bottom
of the box, and several articles of male and
female apparel wero scattered roundL The
sides of tbe box were adorned with hooks
for clothes, and suits morsels of food were
scattered around. Several air-holes in the
box and covers wero fitted with hinges so
as to easily open from tbe inside. As tbe
case came through in a bonded car, tbe oc
cupants of the box could, of course, escape
detection. The case is believed to have
been occupied by an eloping couple, but

TB2 AMERICAN SONG.
Sirg-ng the “Star Spangled Banner”
on the City of New Y<9rk.
From the Si. Lowes KtpwbUc
Dviif >jt,Jane IS.—A vary senaancnal
intkdsot, which, like most sensau imai iacs
dsnss. tad its ndicoioas side, occurred oo
board the Imw. steamsh-p City of New
York on the evening of J une 15. as she was
on her vcyags to thu country. As is usual
and very prsisewjrtpy, a concert waa goa
lee up in tbe saloon and a collection made
for two most estiu.*'. r charities, tbe Sea
men'-* Orphanage A Liverpool and the Blue
Anchor Socsskyed New York. The entertain
ment wasempoaacai.y successful, and the re
capes amounted so the oonsierabie sum of
tLo. At the conclusion of the programme
the passengers passed a unanimous vote cf
thanks tc Capt Lewis, tbe commander of
the ship, tor tne exceLeot manner in which
he bad worked up tbe affair. Capt. Lewis,
in returning thanks, announced teat the
evening’* seterOA.un.-nl would conclude by
the t.ngmg of the national ears, “God Have
the Queen” sad tbe "Star Spangled Ban
ner,” thee checking b-rr.seif, be added in the
next breath: “O, I forgot, I regret to say
that there are no comet of Use Star
Spangled Banneraboard fills ship; to we
stall omit it os this occasion.”
A murmur of disapproval echoed through
the saloon. The mimU oordioU appeared in
imminent danger cf being broken. Nobody
started the BnusL aationsi air, and a men
acing silence ensued. At last a certain
Henry Emerich of fean Francisco arose in
his wrath and aa; i: “I protest against this;
I have crosaed the At.antic in this vessel
twenty times and os each trip tha: same ex
cuse for not singing cur American national
air has been mate by the captain. I think
tnat even if it be true that there are no
copies cf the song aboard there is a sufficient
number of Amer.cans present who know
the song to sing it and tf, indeed, there are
no oop.es oo boeri, here are lab to start a
fund to buy some, to that the ship snail be
no longer left is such a destitute condition.”
At the same time Mr, Emerich threw
down on the table s S2O gold Discs. Enthu
siastic cries of “Bravo, Emerich!" “Bravo,
Emeries“ Good for you!” “Set ’em up
again!” arose in tbe tumultuous volume
among the assembled crowd of passengers,
in wh.cb It was notioed that the English
contingent joined most heartily. The patri
otic example of Mr. Emerich wav enthusi
astically followed till tbe cabin table resem
bled a Tran by Croft baccarat lay out
One gentleman in particular, A. Curtis
Bond, who wore th* rosette of the Ameri
can Order of the Sons of the Revolution ia
hit buttonhole, exclaimed vehemently, as
he threw down bis money, “Tbe man who
would let a British ship go destitute of the
greatest song on earth is s wretch whom
twere base flattery to call a howling idiot.”
This seutiment was re-echoed with cheers
on both sides, under th# fire of which Cant.
L-wis retreated in confusion, leaving tne
money behind him. ,
His departure was soundly hissed by tbe
ArLerioar.s, and the bone of contention—
“ The Star Spangled Banner”—was sung by
fhe Englishmen and Americans alike, if not
in the same key, at ieaat in the same bunch

ALMOST A PARALLEL IN HISTORY.
Scoring King George at the Trial of
Queen Caroline.
From the. Philadelphia Telegraph.
Much surprise has been expressed at the
courage shown by Sir Edward Clarke in his
allusions, during the recent trial, to the
Prince of Wales, but this is not tbe first
time that English lawyers have shown
themselves ready to attack royalty in the
discharge of their professional duty.
During the trial of Queen Caroline, Sir
John Denman, who had been made her
solicitor general, made himself much more
offensive to George IV. While preparing
his speech the great scholar, Dr. Parr, sug
gested to him to draw a parallel between
the queen and Octavia, the wife of Nero,
and gave him a Greek quotation, which can
not well be translated, of which
it will suffice to say that it con
veyed a very offensive impu'ation. It
was understood at tbe time that it was
meant to apply to the king hemaelf, so that
he waa spoken of as Nero, and Charlton
house as Nero’s hotel. In the same speech
be attacked tbe Duke of Clarence for cir
culating slanders against the queen among
the peers, which she was unable to meet or
disprove, and, after denouncing such con
duct as it deserved, be wound up with tbs
apostrophe, “Come forth, thou slanderer,
and let me see thy face,” and it is said that
the result was that tbe duke was for some
time afterward called "Tbe Slanderer.”
George IV. wa* notdisp vsed to forgive the
attack upon himself, and Denman was not
made king’s coansel till long afterward, al
though his position at tbe bar for many
years entitled him to this advancement.
According to Denman’s own account, he
was not aware that bis Greek quotation
had been understood to convey any im
putation against the king, and so soon
as be was informed of this be applied to the
Duke of Wellington to cjrrect this mistake.
In the life of Lord Denman, the memorial
disavowing the Intention ascribed to him
is published, and the king, after stating
that “he could uot believe tbe Greek
quotation referred to bad occurred to the
mind of the advocate in the eagerness or
heat of argument, nor that it was not in
tended for the purpose of applying to tbe
person of tbe sovereign a gross imputation,
so that he had considered it his duty to com
mand the late Lord C'banoellor Eldon and
the Lord Chanoellor Lindhurst not to ap
proach the king with tbe name of the
memorialist," in view of the disclaimer con
tained in the memorial, gave him biß patent
of precedence.
When the Duke of Clarence became Will
iam IV. he showed more magnanimity, and
when upon the death of Lord Tenterden.
Denman's name was suggested, and he was
reminded of Denman’s language on the
queen’s trial, he replied that "he had lony
since forgiven all that and had almost for
gotten it,” and appointed him lord chief jus
tice of England.
It will be interesting to note which prece
dent will be followed iu tbe case of Sir Ed
ward Clarke, if he shall not have been
raised to the bench before the Prince of
Wales comes to the throne.
A LITTLE MAGIC.
Which Really is Not Magic, But It’s
Worth Trying.
From the Philadelphia Timet.
Select from tbe assembled oompany the
person least inclined to believe in table
turning, spirit rapping and the like and ask
him to rest kls baud steadily on the table,
holding a knife as shown in the illustration.
Split a lucifer match at the non-phoe
phorited end. Trim the end of a second one
into a wedge shape and work the one into
the other, so as to form a V, tbe more acute
tbe aogle the better.
Place these two matches astride on the
edge of the knife, requesting tbe skeptical
gentleman to keep the blade exaotly bori
z .ratal and so to hold hi* hand that tbe two
pbosphorixed ends c 4 tbe matches shall just
touch the table without any interruption of
contact. To the astonishment of the com
pany the two matches will be seen gradually
to move along the blade. This unexpected
effect is produced by unconscious move
ments on the part of tbe person who holds
the knife—movements as imperceptible to
himself as to the spectators.
Wben it is desired to give the experiment
a more fanciful character you may slightly
break each match half way down. They
will then_represent the logs of a cavalier,
who#’ . -Tjp-cut out of a visiting card, may
be stiok rtf a slit mode at the point of junct
ure of the two matches.

THk NEXT GOVERNOR.
How hire. Campbell e olved a Difficult
Problem.
During the recent Ohio republican ooo
vecaon am amusteg incidsot occurred no
is thss described by tbe Coicmbos Journal:
It is mid that at the dinner table last even
ing Mrs. Gov. Campbell, with a merry
twinkle in ber eye, addressed her honored
lord thaaly: “Jimmy, it wou-d greatly
please me to rid* out this evening v.ah the
nert governor of Ohio." A puzzled look
spread over the face A the master of the
executive mansion, aad ia a half hesitating
way tbe governor replied: “ WeH. dear, your
requast is ratner ambiguous. Yob know I
may not be—bat I have the idea now. Til
ride with you to the Neal Houae, wiere you
can get Map McKinley. Between toe two
you cannr t mas riding with Ohio’s next
governor.”
Tne scene changes to the crowded street
in front of the Neil. Mrs. Campbell is sit
ting composedly in the elegant family
carnage, re freer, mg herself with a hand
some large black feather fan. She is at
tractively dressed in a thin, dark dresa,
rede red by a light colored-bonnet. Of
course she is admired by paa*er*-by, and tne
climax is rearbed a moment later when
Gov. Campbell appears with Map McKin
ley leaning on bis arm. Maj. McKinlev
bows very gracefully to the firs: lady of the
state and shakes her hand heartily.
Tbe next governor of Ohio takes his seat
by tbeprsser.l governors wife, and as tbe
colored coachman is turning th# iovely span
of sea-brown, the present governor is heard
to remark to his wife, who is seated by toe
nert governor: “It shows how much con
fidence I have in Maj. M.-Kinley to let you
take mm riding.”
Tne distinguished chaperon and her guest
drive north amid a ripple of applause from
the adminng populace: the governor drops
out of sight in the surging crowd, and tbe
curtain drops on one of the most pleasing
events of the convention.
BLACK SNiK. VIBBUS FISH.
A Novel Contest Between the Two
Ended by a Third Party s Stick.
Lzxi.vgtok, W. Va., June 21.—A black
snake about three feet long was seen swim
ming in Tomlinson’s Run yesterday with a
fish, commonly known as bullhead in its
mouth. The fish was nearly eight inches
long. The snake had succeeded In swallow
ing tbe fish, beginning at tbe tail, up to just
back of its head, where its flu* are rein
forced by strong horns or spines. Beyond
this point tbs snake's jaws could not' get,
for so long as the fish survived, just so long
would it instinctively ltsfios and boms
whenever it felt the end of the snake’s jaws
touching them.
With a strong forked stick the snake was
lilted out of the water, whereupon the fish
fell ont of the snake’s mouth. Evidently it
had been there some time, for it was
lacerated, livid in spots and its life blood
seemed to have been horribly sucked out of
it, leaving the most of its body palkd and
colorless. When released It sank head first
to the bottom of tbe pool, then revived and
came to the surface and afterward swam
slowly and laboriously away.
A HAUNTED CLOCK,
It Insists on Striking the Hour When
the Old Man Died.
Martinsville, I.vd., June 21.—Mrs.
John Raymond, residing near St. Paul,
Ind., was recently left a widow. On the
day of her husband • death an old cord and
weight clock that had not been keeping
time for many years stopped. Noth
ing was thought of this, and Mrs.
Raymond, after the funeral, closed ud
her home aad went with her son
in-law to stay a month. When she returned
home she was surprised one evening to hear
the old clock, which she knew had not
struck the hour since her husband’s death,
strike. This tune she was startled, but after
a few days paid little attention to it. Now
at certaio hours of the night it is heard to
strike the hour of three, and, as it has not
run or has not been wound np for weeks, it ia
very mysterious. What causes it no one
has been able to find out.
MEDICAL.
SCROFULA
Is that impurity of the blood which produces
unsightly lumps or swellings In the neck;
which causes running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which develops ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or “humors;” which,fasten
ing upon the lungs, causes consumption and
death. It 13 the most ancient of all diseases,
and very few persons are entirely free from it.
"“CURED
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. If you suffer from
scrofula, try Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years Old, being a terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from
head to feet. We all took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and all have been cured of the scrofula. My
little boy is entirely free from sores, and ail
four of my children look bright and healthy."
