CHINA. AND THE POWERS.
A ekj explosion in the near
future inevitable.
The Present Crisis Will Be Smoothed
Over, but a Conflict Sure to Come
Sooner or Later—The Bad Treatment
of Chinese by Other Powers Re-
B ented by the Flowery Kingdom.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 4.—The Oc
cidental and Oriental steamer Belgic ar
rived early this morning from Japan and
Hawaii. She brings advices from China
to Sept. 3, from Japan to Sept. 14 and
from Hawaii to Sept. 26. The Over
land China Mail Sept. 3 says edi
torially: "It seems likely that
compensation will soon be paid by China
for the damages inflicted during the recent
riots. Tho trench claims at Wu Hu are
already settled, and the others will be
amicably settled soon.
OUR TREATMENT OP CHINESE.
“The treaty powers, however, find it
more difficult’ to persuade Chiua to open
Hunan at a time when so many nations are
following the example of the United States
in their statement of China. Chiua is too
weak to protest effectively againft
this bad treatment of her subjects,
but the conduct of the Americans,
who have shown hopeless incapacity in
dealing with the Chinese, has not been ob
served with indifference. Only the other
day Li Hung Chang sanctioned the pro
posal of tbs Chinese consul at San Fran
cisco to transfer all the Chinese coclies
in America en bloc to the gold
mines in the Amur districts. The
probability is that the present crisis will
iass over. There is not yet sufficient com
bustibles for a big explosion, but an ex
plosion seems inevitable.”
GRIEVANCES OF LONO STANDING.
The North .China A'e tvs says: “During
tbe last few years all the ministers of the
powers at Peking had put up with iusults
and humiliations. If there is war, and
ibere will be unless China meets our
de:r.ands fully nnd honestly, those anti
mi sionary riots will bo merely the exciting
cau-e; tne real causes have been accumu
lsting for years. The chief offender
is tee province of Hunan. From
it emanates all the lying pamphlets
md placards that stir ’up the
people. Thera was a very large fire at
Ctar.g Kiang Aug. 8. When the firs en
gines were brought out, only two of the
tbineen were found to be in condition for
we. It was soon discovered that the taotal
ft tho city bad dismissed the lire
(Tows and embezzled the money provided
for their rriainteuance. A mob of 10,000
attacked his dwelling two days later, and
i: usa only with tho greatest difficulty that
he escaped being torn to pieces. This out
break gave rise at Shanghai to rumo. s of a
auother anti-missionary riot.”

GERMANS IN AMERICA.
Patriotic Teutons Celebrate the
Landing of their Forefathers.
New York, Oct. 4.—A grand festival
was held by the NewYork Germans to-day,
in Carnegie’s new music hall, in commemo
ration of the landing of the first German
immigrants on American soil from the
sailing vessel Concord, from Amsterdam,
which reached Philadelphia on Oct. 6,
10c.The festival was under the auspices
of the principal German societies of New
T ork and Brooklyn and the Deutscher
Club of Hoboken. William Steinway pre
sided. Various singing societies opened the
meeting with Beethoven’s “Die Himmel
Kuhnian des Ewiger Ehre.”
AN ADDRESS BY SCHURZ.
Hon. Carl Schurz delivered an address in
German. It was his purpose, ha said, to
show by history the patriotic devotion and
general usefulness of the Germans in the
material development of this country and
civilization, and what they have done to in
troduce and develop music and art. They
are faithful, devoted, useful citizens, and
the preservation of the German, language
is no menace to American institutions.
He urged upon his countrymen not to main
tain a distinct nationality, but to merge into
American life, imparting their own good
qualities, and taking from others such as
they were lacking in.
Parke Godwin also spoke. “German
Genius” was tho dominant thomo of his dis
course. “What the Greeks were the Ger
mans are, though centuries have inter
vened.”
“Nun Dankct AUe Gott,” composed in
1619, was suug in closing.
SANDOVAL NOT IN THE FRAY.
He Was Living Quietly in New Or
leans During tbe Revolution.
New Orleans, La. , Oct. 4. Gen. Ruis
Sat/doval has been in this city for the last
thirty days and discusses freely the recent
outbreak on the Mexican frontier. Gen.
Sandoval says that although he is in sympa
thy with any movement that may lead
to the overthrow of President Diaz he bad
absolutely nothing to do With the recent
revolution on the part of the Mexican peo
ple. He regretted not being on the spot at
the time, for he would certainly have
taken a hand in the struggle.
DIAZ REPORTED HIM IN IT.
His connection with the Rio Grande affair
is explained by the fact that President
Diaz, being aware that any movement
of the kind had the sympathy of
the general, took it for granted that
he was one of the loaders In the revolution
nnd caused the information to be circulated
by the newspapers. While all this was go
ing on the general was living quietiy and
peaceably in this city.
EZETA LOSES HIS GRIP.
He Throws Himself Into the Arms of
the Detested Gallegos
City op Mexico, Oct. 4.—A Salvador
telegram says: “The feeling against Presi
dent Ezcta is increasing. He has thrown
himself into the arms of the adherents of
ex-Presidont ZdlJivar. The new minister
of foreign affairs, Gallegos, was the
power behind Zaidivar, and was cor
dially bated. Tbis hatred is now
extending to President Ezeta, whose parti
sans have all deserted him. It is rumored
that Gallegos is intriguing to make mischief
between President Hzsta and his brother,
the commaudor-in-chief. Gallegos desires
war with Honduras. The assassination of
Ayata by President Ez9'.a’s agents in
Guatemala is denied.”
A KI!E-8H SPED TS iCK.
Sunol and Palo Alto Prove it Faster
Than the Circulsr Course.
Stockton, Cal., Oct. 4. —In exercising
yesterday on a kite-shaped track, Marvin
drove Sunol a half mile in 1:03 and jogged
a full mile in 2:139£. He speeded her
only on the first half mile. Palo Alto
trotted around the kite-shaped track in the
exercise in 2:ll>£. His record is in a
race. The track is very fast and ail the
horsemen here predict that Sunol will beat
2:00 wbeu she is seut against the record.
The meeting next Tuesday promises to bo
very fast.
TO BE PAID FOR WITH VOCES.
A Pardon Promised a Labor Prisoner
on Queer Terms.
New York, Oct. 4.—At a meeting of the
Central Labor Federation to-night, the del
egates of the cloakmakers’ union reported
that efforts had been made on the part of
the executive committee of their union to
have their leader, Rhingold, pardon ad from
prisoner by the governor, which iad been
promised if their union would indorse the
state ticket of the Democratic party. This
statement caused a great sensation and
sharp discussion. A committee was ap
pointed to investigate the matter.
POTfSVILLE’3 EXPLOSION.
One Man Killed Outright and Six En
tombed Alive in the Mine.
Pottsvillr, Pa., Oct. 4. —By the explo
sion in the Richardson colliery last evening

HAZING AT ANNAPOLIS.
THREE TH'RD CLASSMEN CAUGHT
IN THE AC T.
They Had Strapped a Fourth Class
man Between Mattressas When the
Officer of the Day Walked in on
Them—A Court-martial Ordered in
the Oases of Two of tho Offenders.
Annapolis, Md., Oct. 4.—Friday, direct
ly after the first drill of the year, Cadets
Clsude Willis Griffith of Maryland, Arthur
Glynn Kavanaugh of Nebraska, and Leland
Frierson James of South Carolina,
third classmen, proceeded to the quarters
of Naval Cadets H. V. Butler, Jr.,
and W. R. Gherardi, a son of Commodore
Gherardi, to have a little fun. They got it.
They had made Cadet Butler lie down upon
a mattress, another mattress was placed on
top of him, and the two mattresses were
then lashed together, leaving Butler’s head
sticking out like the head of a turtle from
its shell. A sheet was then thrown over his
head. •
A LIEUTENANT ENTERS.
Cadet Gherardi was about to be treated
the same way when Lieut. Alexander
Sharpe, Jr., officer of the day, en
tered in uniform and with his
sword. Paralyzed by the officer’s
appearance Cadet Griffith fainted, but
was soon restored to consciousness. Later
there was a preliminary examination by
the superintendent of the academy. Cant. R.
L. Pythian,Commandant of Cadets Colby N.
Chester, and Officer of the Day Lieut. Alex
ander Bharpo, Jr.
NO CHANCE TO DENY IT.
Tho fourth classmen had to acknowledge
that they were being hazed as the officer
dropped in upon the performance. The re
sult was that Naval Cadet Griffith wa9
placed under arrest and cm:fled to quarters,
and Cadets Kavanaugh and James were
placed under arrest but not confined to
quarters. A court-martial hss been ordered
in the cases of Cadets Griffith and Kava
naugh. Cadet James gets off with demerit
marks.
WORLD’S FAIR DOINGS.
Dally Legislators Adopt Two Im
proved Sites.
Chicago, Oct. 2. —The forestry and dairy
buildings at the world’s fair —the two chief
structures in the southern section of the
grounds—were relocated yesterday by the
daily legislature, over which Vice Chair
man William P. Ketcham presided, with
Chief Executive William TANARUS, Baker, Direct
ors Lyman J. Gage and Charles H.
Schwab, Chief of Construction B. H. Burn
ham aud Assistant Chief E. R. Graham also
present.
The forestry building will be clobo to tho
lake shore, due east of the site formerly as
signed it, and instead of extending north
and south, it will run parallel with the
beach—that is, a little east of south. As
Assistant Chief Graham explained to tbe
committee, this gives the building a better
looking location—shows it off to finer ad
vantage, especially from tbe north point of
view. The quaint originality of the design
will make this a specially striking aud pop
ular feature cf exposition architecture.
Also the dairy building—assigned hereto
fore to a spaoe just south of forestry—goes
east about 100 feet in order to give its dap
per proportion a better grouping with the
relocated forestry building, ar.d also to
economize space. La Rabida Convent, as is
shown, is to be reproduced on the shore a
little to the north, and pending the ordering
of working drawings Supervising Architect
Burnham has sent to Spaiu
to verify certain measurements
of dimensions. Altogether this far
southern group of world’s fair architecture,
the more so under the new grouping.will of
itself repay tho visitor's half-dollar entrance
money—isn’t that the figure, Messrs.Direct
ors?—and obviously the said visitor and all
the rest of civilization should be thankful
that the Columbian daily legislature, so far
from being hide-bound In adhering to con
clusions, courts improvements and prompt
ly adopts them when found.
Hence it is that foundatiou-laying six
weeks ago was ordered by Chief Burnham
to a sudden standstill for days.
Hence it is that transportation routes into
the grounds are even yet undetermined, nor
is the question si pressing as to shut off the
utiiiza ion of those nappy solutions that a
wise deliberation always has in store.
RIOS ST-iIKE IN M’XCD.
An American Prospector "Picking Up
Yellow Dollars” in Chihuahua.
San Antdnij), Tex., Oot. 4.—R. B.
Needham, brown and toilworn with two
years’ prospecting in the Sierra Madre
range of Mexico, came to San Antonio yes
terday in search of Mrs. May Fremd. She
is the wife of an acquaintance, a miner like
himself,
Needham says that after almost incon
ceivable hardships, Fremd lias made a
strike of fabulous richness. His find is in
the heart of the Giant Range, 200 miles
from a railway. Chihuahna, the capital
of the state of Chihuahua, is the nearest
point. The mines seem to be of limitless
capacity and of li’.tlo trouble to work.
There is plenty of water and wood.
The yield is tne purest wire gold, as Need
ham expresses it, “the strike is like picking
up yellow dollars.” Fremd is now in
Cbihuahuo with specimens of the metal.
The city, which contains numerous miners
and mine speculators, is much excited.
Mrs. Fremd was found. She has been
living in straightened circumstances, oud
she was overcome by the news of her good
fortune. She accompanies Needham to-day
to Chihuahua.
COVERED WITH BSES.
A Swarm Alights Upon a Lady, but
They Treat Her Kindly.
Meceanicsburg, 0., Oot. 4.— This morn
ing Mrs. S. M. Jacobs, residing in the coun
try, was most disagreeably surprised by a
new swarm of bees which flew into her
house. She was canning fruit at the time,
and tlie bees began settling on her head in
a large mars. Becoming excited, the lady
seized a small dust broom and began to
brash the buzzing mass from her person.
Her husband, arriving upon the scene, se
cured a fatve and succeeded in getting tbe
bees to take possession of it. A most sin
gular feature of the case was that Mrs. Ja
cobs was not once stung during her conflict
with the bees.
A SOLID FISH BTORY.
A Novel Way to Catch Eunflsh With
Long-Haired Cows oh Bait.
Cortdon, Ind., Oot. 4.—lt is a little late
in tbe season for fish stories, but a farmer
near Corydon tells one which is quite in
teresting aud novel. He states that while
pasting through a field he tint toad a com
motion in a pond in which several cows
wi-re s’anding, and. upon investigation, he
found that the stir in the water was caused
liy sunfish jumping on the sides of tbe cows
after flies. He says that the fish would
cltng to tbe hair on tbe cows' sides for some
time, and all that was necessary to do to
get a good string of fish was to drive tbe
cows out on tbe sbora and pick the fish off.
A MONUMENT TO GARIBALDI.
Rouvler and Other Frenchmen at the
Unveiling.
Nice, Oct. 4.—Tne mayor of this city- un
veiled a monument to Gen. Garibaldi here
to-day in the presence of M. Rouvier, rep
resenting the French government.; Gen.
Canzieo, representing the Garibaldi
family; several French and Italian, deputies,
many notables, oivil aud military: and a
large ooncourse of people. Tho speakers
were wartulv cheered. The mayor said he
paid grateful homage to the mernC ry of Gen.
Garibaldi for succoring Fraimo in the
hour of need, and ho hail ed in tho
patriot a symbol of union and
concord between the French aud
Italian people. Ocher speakers, among
them several deputies, spoke in a similar
strain. Gen. Canzieo said that the unveil
ing of the monument should u-e made the
occasion of a proclamation of concord be
tween the two nations, which weue of com
mon origin.
NOT backing the Wll
M. Ranee, speaking in behalf of the
French republicans, eonteraptuonslv re
pelled the charge that the French desired
to restore temporal power to tho
pope. He begged the Italians
not to be alarmed at the
noisy demonstrations. The free-rt-ess of the
two nations, he said, should inculcate their
community of interests. War would be a
crime against civilization and lii icrty.
rouvier’s speech.
M. Rouvier oxnressed similar hi aitimnnts.
France, he said, was grateful for Gen.'
Garibaldi’s asdstance. He could not have
wished a grander apotheosis than to see in
the present day to what the people he
assisted have attained. M. Rouvier’s speech
was recoived with enthusiastic shouts of
“Vivo la republioue, Vice la France, Alive
L’itaiie.”
The various societies then inarched ?past
the statute, playing the “Marsail’iaise” aud
“Garibaldi’s Hymn.”
A flag riddled with shot, which was ex
hibited by the Italian socletios, aroused the
greato-,t enthusiasm. No untoward incident
occurred.
Goa. Canzieo was made an officer of the
Legion of Honor.
SHELLS ARMED WITH K.kIVEL
Torpedo Boats Defepselesn Bafore
These Terrible Missiles.
London, Oct. 4.—A oomplete revolution
in naval warfare will probably bo the result
of some successful experiments carried out
on board her majesty's ship’n Vernon
with the torpedo net cutters invented by
Capt. Wilson.
Jhe great momentum of the Whitehead
torpedo, armed with Capt. Wilson’s ne.v
torpedo cutters, enables it to cut its way
through any torpepo net, even when the
latter is set at an angle of 45 degrees, with
out apparent retardation of its flight.
The cutter consists of blades arranged
shield fashion, which sever the wire niesnes
of tho net, making an aperture sufficient
for tho entrance of the torpedo. Ironclads
will no longer he able to shield themselves
from torpedoes, as the utility of the nets,
upon which they have hiti-rto relied lor
safety, is completely done away with.
AN AUSTRIAN COUNT MURDERED.
HU Coachman in the Plot and Robbery
the Motive.
Vienna, Oot. 4.—Count Emerieh Eiter
hazy has bsen found drowned in the Dan
ube near Presiburg. He fell with his car
riage, horses ar.d driver over a darn
eighteen feet high. The driver, who is a
lad of 17 years and who escaped, tells a
curious story. He says the count com
pelled him to drive across a field
leading to the river in spite of
his protests, but tho fact that a trunk
known to have been fastened on the carri
age when it started was found loose on tho
river banks and partly rifled points to rob
bery with the connivance of the coachman.
The count leaves an imrtjenee fortune,
which be hoarded daring a miserly life.
LIBERALISM DENOUNCED.
Workmen Claim That the Party Gives
Ireland Too Much Attention.
London, Oct. 4.—At a meeting of work
men in Hyde Park to-day, the liberal fed
eration was denounced for suppressing
free speech, neglecting the working
men and giving precedence to
Ireland, and resolutions were adopted de
claring that. the Lioeral party is uuworthy
of confidence, aud that a jabor league
should be formed in order to secufts labor
representatives in parliament. The meet
ing was attended by several thousand
workingmen. Btrnard Shaw presided.

Rome, Oct. 4. —Thousands of citizens
marched in procession to the Pantheon to
day to deposit a wreath on King
Victor Emmanuel's tomb, where Friday
last a number of French Catholio pilgrims
made an insulting demonstration. While
the crowd was in the church, a number of

TORE OUT 118 CHEEK.
A 2-Year Old Tot Horribly Bitten by
a Dog.
Cincinnati, Oct. 4.—A 2-year-old child
of William Irwin, a farmer near Goshen,
Clermont county, was horribly mangled by
a dog yesterday.
The little one was playing in tbe yard
when it was suddenly set upon by the family
dog. The brute fastened Its fangs in the
child’s cheek and iiterallv t >re away a piece
two inches long, leaving tbe cavity of tne

times ou Its head and near the eyes, tearing

The Father Spurns liberty at Such
a Price—The Girl Dies of Fright.
Nihilists Kill the Officer and Rescue
the Prisoners.
Boston, Oct. 4.—80nl Sintzki, his wife
and his son Mose3, arrived here Friday on
the Warren Line steamer Kansas. Tho
family gave a party May 29 in their home
at Travo, Russia, in honor of the 18th birth
day of Moses, who, under the Jewish
custom had reached man’s estate.
Private parties being contrary to tho
Russian laws, the 1 cal polico de
manded a large sura of hush money,
which Sintzki could not give. The family,
without trial, were started for Siberia. On
the way the officer in commind of the
guard made a proposal to Sintzki's daugh
ter, agreeing to release tho whole family if
she would submit to his proposal.
WILLING TO SACRIFICE HERSELF.
She was willing to sacrifice herself, but
her father forbade her doing so. To make
him yield tho girl was strung up by the
arms and tho pain and fright caused
her death. A section of the nihilists
heard of this outrage, and succeeded in
drugging the soldiers and executing the
captain. The captives were rescued and
were assisted across the Prussian frontier.
They were put aboard a vessel bound for
Hull, England, from whence they came to
America.
BA.NKERriEWS' VIEWS
On the Financial O. tiook as Viewed
From Wall Street.
New York, Oct. 3. —The speculative sit
uation shows more uncertainty than two
weeks ago. Two causes areresponsible for
this; first, tho rest and reaction which were
necessary after a rise of 8(<i,20 points within
a few short weeks; aud, next, tho develop
ments concerning the Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific, which have brought down a
storm of indignation upon the heads of the
directors. All this abuse was no doubt greatly
intensified by tbe fact that public senti
ment was largely in favor of a further
rise in values; aud the check imparted bv
tho break in Missouri Pacliio caused more
irritation than would have been the case
had the same event happened in ordinary
times. Much of this criticism was
misplaced, because Mr. Gould has certain
ly taken a much lsss active part in specu
lative operations than the “street” has
supposed. His condition of health, as
shown by recent apparent authentic
reports, absolutely precludes that sort of
vigorous activity. Personalities aside,
however, passing Missouri Pacific dividend
at a time when nearly all other railroads
are steadily making larger profits, only
emphasises the utter folly of paying divi
dends that are unearnod. This r ad had
failed to earn its full dividend for over a
year, but paid thorn out of tiorrowed funds;
presumably of course for the purpose of Im
proving tbe market for the stock among
those least informed, but which eventually
frigiiteued such holders out by suddenly ex
posing the secret w hen least expected. The
method of paying dividends not earned, if
not illegitimate before tho law, is certainly
most reprehensible from a moral
point of view; besides simply creating
a deep distrust of tho properties under such
control, which eventually acts most injuri
ously upon the management itself. Never
theless these tactics are not an unmixed
evil. They not only have brought out in
strong con trust the differences iu such cor
porate management, as reflected iu the com
parative fluctuations of other stocks, but
they have also given the market the test it
seeded in checking the un healthy symptoms
of a bull fever, which wore only too plainly
developing. The pace had become too
rapid, and only promised exhaustion and
collapse before the race was run. Asa result
of the present reaction, inexperienced
operators, intoxicated with success, havo
had time to sober-up. The less venture
some buyers, always the large majority,
will secure an opportunity to participate in
the rise to come; while the leaders of
speculation will secure time to concentrate
forces and gain new power from tho in
creased following which a moderate decline
will attract. Recognition of these facts
has already temporarily divided the bull
forces; so that, intentionally or otherwise,
recent events will iu the end strengthen tbe
bull movement.
The solid facts are morn In favor of im
provement than ever. The harvest has now
passed from the range of possibilities into a
certainty. Plenty and profit are already in
the grasp of the farmer. Debts will be paid,
mortgages wiped out, arid new enterprises
started on a scale hitherto unknown; all of
which means expausi n of business a: and in
creased traffic for railroads. Nor will the
effeot be restricted to the United States. In
a measure tho impetus started here will
oouutersot the blight of short crops in Eu
rope. Thte brunt of that calamity must, of
course, be borne there; and yet the rise in
American securities has already revived
drooping spirits on tho foreign bourses and
h"l(Kvi restore tho omfldenee destroyed by
Argentine and other speculations. More
over, American pro perity will enable
larger purchase* of foreign manufactures,
in spite of our higher taritf, fear of which
has been adding to the depression abroad.
Tho war cloud which has born so long
threatened still remains, and seems darker
than ever. At the same time, hostilii les are
not likely to begin in the winter; Russia
will not have completed her new armament
for two years to come, and the relations be
tween the various powers remain to > indefi
nite to calculate upon with certainty. Ul
timately, war appears inevitable. At first
it may injure American securities, because
they will be the best on which to realize;
but for just tho same reason they will finally
be the best to hold; therefore, no serious or
lasting depreciation should follow our
stocks in event of a European struggle.
Uold is coming tail wav with unexpected
freedom. This tends to lessen tbe possibili
ties of very tight money, which has been a
question of doubt to bulls of the prudent
sort. The other view of this gold move
ment is that it causes firmer money abroad,
where stocks have been curried on Ameri
can account, and discourages speculation;
to that extent depriving this market of im
portant foreign suppo t. Still, the imme
diate course of tho market, however, seems
now mure promising again on this side for
the bull side as a reaction from tbe recant de
pression. For the next few days we look
for an active market, with good opportuni
ties for traders. Henry Clews.

TO THIS END WAS I BORN
TALMAGE PREACHE3 ON CHRIET3
ANSWitH TO PILATE.
The Detestation With Which Pilate
Was Looked Upon Shown by the
Stories Put Afloat After His Death.
Every Human Being Constructed for
a Divine Purpose.
Brooklyn, Oot. 4.—a most impressive
scene is that witnessed iu tile Brooklyn
Tabernacle, when at the opening of the
morning sorvico seven thousand persons on
the main floor, in the two galleries and the
adjoining rooms, rise and sing the Dox
ology. This morning in addition to the
congregational singing Prof. Henry Eyr*
Browne rendered from tho organ, “Theme
and Variations in A,” by Kramer. Dr.
Talmage’s text was taken from John xviii.,
37, “To this end was I born.”
After Pilate had suicided tradition say*
that his body was thrown into the Tiber,
and such storms ensued on and about thal
river that iiia body was taken out and
thrown into the Rhone, and similAr dis
turbances swept that river and its banks.
Then the body was taken out and removed
to Lausanne and put into a deeper pool,
which Immediately became tho center
of similar atmospheric and aqueous
disturbances. Though these are
fanciful and false traditions they show
tho execration with which tho world
looked upon Pilate, it, was before tills man
when lie was in full life and power that
Christ was arraigned as in a court of oyer
and terminer. Pilate said to Ms prisoner:
“Art thou a king, then?” aud Jesus an
swered: “To this eud was I born.” Sura
enough, although ail earth and hell arose to
keep him down, he is to-day einpalaced,
enthroned and ooronoted king of earth and
kiug of heaven. “To this end was i born.”
That is what he came for, and that was
what he accomplished.
By the time a child readies ten years of
ago tho paronts tiogin to disoover that
child’s destiny; tiut by the time he or she
roaches fifteen years of age, tbe question is
on t.e child's lips: “What am I to be?
What aui X going to dot What was I made
for?” It is a sensible and rightoous ques
tion, and the youth ought to keep on asking
it until it is so fully answered that the
young inan, or the young woman can say
witli us much truth as its author, though
on a leas expansive soale: “To this end was
I born.”
There is too much divine skill shown iu
the physical, mental ituil moral constitution
oftheordi ary human being to supposj
that he was constructed without any divine
purpose. If you take me out on some vad
plain unci show me a pillared temple sur
mounted by a dome like flt. Peter’s, and
having a floor of precious stones, and
arches that must have taxed the brain of
tho greatest draughtsman to design, and
walls scrolled and niched and paneled and
wainsnotted anil painted, and l should a-k
you what this building was put up
for, aud yon answered. “For noth
ing at all,” how could I believe
you? And it is is impossible for me
to believe that any ordinary human being
who has in ills muscular, nervous and
Cerebral orga izatiou more wonders than
Christopher Wren lifted in St. Paul’s, or
Phidias ever chiseled on the Acropolis, and
built in such a way that it shall last long
after Ht. Paul’s oathedral is as much a ruin
as the Parthenon—that such a boing was
constructed lor uo puru se*, aud to execute
no mission, and wishout any divine inten
tion toward so ne end. Tne object of this
sermon is to help you to flud out what you
are made for, and help you find your
sphere, and assist you into that condition
where you can say with certainty and em
phasis anu enthusiasm aud triumph: “To
this end was 1 born.”
First. 1 ditohurge you from all responsi
bility for most of your environments. You
are not responsible for your parentago, or
grand-parentage. Von aro not responsible
for any of the cranks that may have lived
m your ancestral line, ami who a hundred
y,ears before you were born may have lived
a style of life that more or less affect* you
to-day. You are not responsible for the
fact that your temperament is sanguine, or
melancholic, or bilious, or lympnatlo, or
nrvous. Neither are vou responsible for
the placo of your nativity, whether
the granite hills of New England, or the
cotton plantations of Louisiana, or on the
banks of the Clyde, or th
Dnieper, or the Shannon, or tbs
Seine. Neither are you responsible
for the religion taught in vour father’s
house, or tue irrcligiou. Do not bother
yourself about what you cannot help, or
about circumstances that you did not de
cree. Take things as they are a r and decide
the question so that you shall be able safely
to hay : "To tali end was 1 born. "'How will
you dec.de it' liy direct application to tha
only being iu the universe who is compe
tent to tell you—the Lord Almighty. Do
you know the reason wby he is the only on)
who can tell i because in ran see every
thing between your cradle and your
grave, though the grave be eighty
years off. Andi nsides that, be is the
only being who can see what has been
happening for tho last five hundred; years
In your ancest'fl line, and for thousands of
Tears cleur back to Adam , and there is no 6
one person in all that ancestral line of sis
thousand years but has somehow affe'ted
your character, and even old Adam himself
will sometime* turn up in your dispo itiou.
The only being who can taka all things that
pertain to you into considerati in is God,
and he is the one you can ak. Life is so
short wo have no time to experiment with
occupations and professions. The
reason we have so tnauy dead
failures is that *- parents decide
for children what they shall do, or children
themselves, wrought on by soma whim ol
fancy, decide for themselves without any
imploiation of diviua "guidance. So ws
have now in pulpits men making sermons
who ought to be in blacksmith snaps mak
ing plowshares, and wo have in the law thoss
who instead of ruining the cases of their
clients ought to pounding shoe lasts, and
doctors who are tbo worst hindrances to
their patients’ convalescence, and artist*
trying to paint landscapes who ought to b
whitewashing hoard fencis. While thurs
are others making bricks who ought to t*
remodeling constitutions, or shoving plane)
who ought to ha transforming literature
Ask God about what worldly bus
iness you shall undertake until you
are so positive you cau it
earnestness smite your hand on your plow
handle, or your oarpenter’s bench, or
your Blaekstoue’s‘‘Com nentsries, ’ or your
medical dictionary, or your Doctor Dick’s
"Didactic Theology," saving: "For thid oud
was I born.'’ There are children who early
develop natural affinities for certain styles
of work. When the father of the Astrono
mer Forbes was going to Loudon, he asked
his children whit present he should briug
esoh one of them. The boy who was to b
an astronomer cried out: “Bring me a tele
scope!" And thare are children whom you
find all by themselves drawing on their
slates, or on paper, ships or housis or birds,
•ud you know they are to be draughtsmen
or artists of some kind. And you flud others
ciphering out di.liuult problems with rare
interest ands uveas, aiul you kuow they
are to be mathematicians. And others
making wheels end straige oontrivauoee,
