A DISCOURSE OF

The College Student.

Since I left you twelve days ago t have
traveltsl over three thousand miles, and had
opportunity of addressing great mulitudesof
young men in the larger cities of IVnnsyl-
Vania, Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, and Iowa, and
have never been so muoh impressed with the
magnificent op|»ortunities ..petting Ivefore
young men. or w itli the teinputions to which
they are subjected, or with their great need
of ifull-he.rted sympathy. Anil what I ob
served during the past tell days may give
somewhat of a coloring to tlv
pivsent Mils tnorning. My text opens the
door of a college in Babylon, and introduces
you to a young student seventeen years old,
Daniel by name. He not surprised it in the
college you find litany hilarities. Put a hun
dred voting men together, and they arc sure
to have a good time. There is no harm in
that, (fod does nor write out the tries and
the grass and the blossoms in dull prose. The
old robin does not sit moping in ttie nest lx*-
enttse of the chirpings and the lively adven
tures of the fledglings that have just begun
to tly. Do not come into an orchard looking
for winter apples on a May morning. But
Daniel of tit.- text is far from Icing gay.
What oppressive thoughts must have come
over him as he remembered that he wjis a cap
five in a strange land. The music that came
into his study window was not the song of
Zion, but the sound of flute, sackbut. and dul
cimer in the worship of a heathen god. More
over, he had no hope of ever getting back
horne again and meeting til >se who knew not
if he stSl lived, and finding many a luxury
tasteless because they did not know* but Dan
iel might be lacking breud. When you and
I were in school or college, and the vacation
upproached. we were full of bright anticipa
tions, and we could not study the hist day,
and could not sleep i he last nigh'. The lexi
con and the philosophical apparatus were
transparent, so could see right through them
iBto the meadows and the orchards. Not so
with poor Daniel. He did not know that he
should ever escape from captivity, or, escap
ing, he didn't know but when he got home the
loved ones would lie dead,and he would go wan
dering and weeping among the sepulchers of
his fathers. Ik-side that, the king tried to
make him forget his home and forget his
country: for that purpose, actually changed
his name. The king wanted him to be a
prodigy in personal appearance, and so he
ordered meat and wine sent from his own ta
ble to Daniel; but he refuses all this, and puts
himself upon the humblest diet, the poorest of
all herlis, called pulse, and plain water. His
attendants cry out against this, and tell him
he will perish under such a diet. “No.’’ he
says, ‘you try us for ten flays, anfl if at the
end of that time, we are not full-cheeked and
robust as any it will lie surprising.” Ten days
(sussed, and t he students come up for examina
tion, and all declare that none are so ruddy
and robust as Daniel and his fellow-captives.
The years of industrious pupilage pass by,
and the day of graduation has come, and
Daniel gets his diploma, signed by the king
and reading ss follows:
“In all matter- of wisdom and understand
ing that the king inquired of them, he found
them ten times better than all the magicians
and astrologers that were in all his realm."
And so Daniel took the first honor, and
here the story ends: for Daniel the student
hereafter wiU be the prime minister.
The first thought sugg»*sted to me by this
and when he is old he will not depart from
it." May you all have the glorious satisfac
tion of seeing your children in :he paths
of rightesness and police. ; *•• with them
on earth, may you lie one ith them in
heaven.
1 learn also from this subject the beauty of
(’hristian sobriety. The meat and the wine
that was 1 o come to Daniel’s table were to
come from the king's table. Well, Daniel Usd
no right to take that food. The king was a
heathen, and, like al’ the heuthens, was ac
customed to ask a blessing before he partook
of food, and in that blessing they always ded-
ieated the food to the gods. So that if Dan*
and no one cares whether he comes to church !
or does not come. On his way home ho sees !
a placard announcing a rare and vicious
amusement. Ho has no greeting at the door
of the boarditi" house. He has no appetite I
for the food. No one cares whether he eats |
or does not cat—rather he would not eat: it |
Is cheaper! After tea lie goes into the parlor,
takes up a book,finds it dull—no sister to look :
over it with him: goes up-stairs to his room !
in the third story,finds it cold and uninviting !
nnd in despair he rusher; out. caring for noth
ing bnt to get something to make him stop
thinking. He is caught in the first whirl of
sin. He has startl'd out on the dark sen vvb
iel had taken this food he would have broken the gleams of joy is the flashing of the pit.
the law which forbade the taking of to.id ded- ' nnd the laughter is the creaking of the gate
iented to idols. He chose pulse. It was a j of the lost. Oh! how many graves there are
miracle that he did not dwindle away. There in the country churchyard which, if they
is nothing in puls.*, such a poor herb, to make ' could speak, would tell of young men who
a man ruddy and healthful. Home people ; went off with high hopes, and came back
talk ms though that were a kind of diet which
would make n man strong and competent to
do the duties of this life. That, is not the les
son at all. But for a positive miracle, Daniel
would have dwindled away, and when (lod
for his self denial puts upon him this Itenedic-
. tion, He puts a benedict ion npon nil Christian
object that 1 sobriety. I would not have you class your
preacher among those who would put unnec
essary restraints ujvon lawful appetics. There
are those in this day who dispute the grant
j which (rod gave to man for animal food, and
they make a religion of their hunger, as the
Pharisees expected heaven for their fasting.
Daniel did not always live on pulse. He was
not a (ir.ihaniite, lie was not a vegetarian.
He went through that self denial because the
food offered him was idolatrous food. When
I seo Hod filling the earth with all varieties
of food I have not much confidence in the
teaching of those who would put us on severe
regi.nen. There are iiarents who, with a
wrong theory in tins respect, deny their chil
dren all harmless luxuries, and without suffi
cient inquiry, send them off to boardings
schools, where their intelleois nre cultured to
the disadvantage of their starved Indies; so
that from many a boarding-school a class of
twenty will graduate.nineteen of them gh.>sts!
Now, when i see the three angels eating the
calf which At ruhain slew, and when I find
Christ eating broiled fish even after his resur
rection, I come to the conclusion that the
theories of the vegetarians are not well-
founded. But oh! how many temptations to
dissipation. With so many things to tempt,
the appetite, how many temptations to glut
tony! With so many sparkling beverages,
how many temptations to drunkenness!
Could I bring before you this morning the
mothers and the wives and the sisters who
have wept at the grave of the inebriate, your
soul would lie overpowered with the spectacle.
Coul.l 1 show von the manlv forms folded of
their Iieauty, the eye-flashings drowned in
the wine-cup, the ruddy cheek from which
rum has wormed the rose, your souls would
recoil with horror, nnd you would rise tip
an.l cry “Begone, thou dream of hell.
Charles I*amb, who made all the world laugh
at his humor, and then afterward made all
the world weep at his fate, who outwitted
everybody, and was at, last outwitted of his
own appetites, wrote thus:
“The waters have gone over me, hut out
of the depths, could I tie heard, I would cry
out to ull those who have but set a foot in
the perilous flood. Could the youth, to whom
the flavor of the first, wine is delicious as the
opening scenes of his life, or the entering
upon some newly discovered paradise—could
he look into my desolation and Is* made to
understand what a dreary thing it is when a
man shall feel himself going down a preci
pice with open eyes and a passive will; to see
his destruction an.l have no power to stop it.
yet feel it all the way emanating from him
self : to see nil Godliness empty out of him,
and yet not able to forget, the time when it
was otherwise: to bear about the piteous
spectacle of his own ruin—could he see my
feverish eye. feverish with last night’s drink
ing anfl feverishly looking for to-night’s rep
etition of that folly; could ho bnt feel the
body of the death out of which I cry hourly

tivity of evil habit. Men do not go into that j A re you fond of pi. turns! Here is one
wittingly. Slyly and imperceptibly are the I (j rawI1 ra- Solomon:
hains forged ujx>n them, undone dav they) “Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who
wake up to find themselves away down in
Babylon. ( ’yrus consented that some of his
captives should go. and fifty thousand of
them accepted the opportunity: but tell me
what evil habit ever consented to let a man
go. Ten plagues made Pharaoh consent to
the departure ot God's .people; but tell me
what Pharaoh of evil habit ever cheerfully
consented to let any of its victims go ? Mon
talk of evil habits i.s though they were light
and trivial; but they are scorpion whijrs that
t<*ar the fl.'di; they make a road of spikes
more bloody than the path of a Brahmin:
they are the poisonous robe of Nessus; they nre
the sepulcher in which millions are buried
alive. The young ar** in more peril because
th* y are uiLsuspe. ti"g The lions are asleep
in tle-ir soul, and their power is not known.
The time when a 'hip's company makes mu
tiny is when the watchman is oil’ his guard.
When a spider meets a fly it does not say,
“(to down with no to the place where I mur
der insects." No. It says. “Como and take
a walk with me on this bridge of gossamer.”
Oh' there is n difference between the sparkle
of a serjvent's eve and the crush of its slimy
folds. There is a difference l*efwe**n the
tear'- paw toying with a kid and the crack
ling of the bones in the terrific hug. Pike’s
Peak looks beautiful in the distance, but ask
the starved travelers by the rou.l-eide what
they think of Pike - t’eak. Oh! are there
those around whom suspicious companions
are gathering ; Do their jests and their en
tertainments make the hours go blithely by
when you are with them ? Have you taken
a sip from their cup of sin, or gone with
them in one path of unrighteousness ? Turn
back. From Babylon they come, and to
Babylon they would carry you. If so many
plague-stricken men would like to enter your
companionship, before anyone is allowed to
pass into the intimacy of your heart put on
t hem the severest quarantine.
My subject aLso impresses me with the
fact, that early impresi-ions are most in
effaceable. Daniel had a religious bringing
up. From the good meaning of his name I
know he had pious parentage. But as soon
as he comes into the possession of the king
his name is changed, all his surroundings are
changed, nnd now, you say, will begin the
demoralization of his character. Before, his
name was Daniel, which means, “(rod, my
judge;” now, his name is to be Belshazzar,
which means “the treasurer of the god Bell.”
Now. you expect to s**e him overthrown amid
all tin*—** changed circumstan.es. Oh! no;
Daniel started right, and ho k*x*ps on right,
when I*tind whut Daniel i.s in Jerusalem I am
not surprised to find what he is in Babylon.
I w ish I could write on all parents’ hearts
this morning the fact that early impressions
are well nigli ineffaceable. When I see Jos-
hath contentions? who hath babbling' who
hath wounds without cause? They that
tarry long at the wine; they that goto s»ek
mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine
when it is red, when it moveth itself aright
in the cup. At the last it biteth like a ser-
jvent and stingeth like un adder.”
“Do you know what you are doing:” said
a mother, who had broken into a restaurant,
the .loor locked against her, her son inside.
HI e came up to the counter and saw the man
of the restaurant mingling the intoxicating
cup for her own son. Him said to the man
behind the counter: “Do you know wluil you
an* doing. 1 ’’ “No," said he, “I don’t.” Hays
she, “You ore fattening graveyards.”
I was told at I)es Moines last week of a
train of cars going, through a very stormy
niglit, over one oi the western prairies. The
young man who was present told us the
story. In the night there was a little child
in the sleeping-car, fretful anil worrying and
crying hour urter hour. A man on the oppo
site side of tin* car lost hi- jmtioiir-e, an.l said:
“Either make that child shut up or pitch it
out of the window!” Then another man on
the opposite side of the sleeping car—n man
with a broken heart—pushed laick the cur
tain and looked out and -aid: “Young man,
that child’s mother is dead in the baggage-
cur!” Then the mun who committed the af-
front rose up, offered his services for the
niglit. and took care of the child until the
morning, and ull the passengej's in the car
were broken down with emotion. Oh! if the
cry o' one child could arouse so many sym
pathies, what ought to he the effect of the
ten-thousand-voiced shrieks of orphanage
and widowhood from the inebriate’s grave?
(lod save this country from tbe perils of
strong think.
My subject also impresses me with the
beauty of youthful character remaining in
corrupt away from home. If Daniel had
plunged into every wickedness of ttu* city of
Babylon, the old folks at home would never
have heard of it. If lie had gone through
all the rounds of iniquity, it would have cast
no shadow on his early home. There were
no telegraphs, there were no railroads. But
Daniel knew that God’s eye was on him.
That was enough. There are young men not
so good away from home as at home, Fred
erick tending his father's sheep among the
hills, or thrashing rye in the bam, is differ
ent, perhaps, from Frederick on tbe stock ex
blasted and crushed to disgrace thesemilch- r
of their fathers. And yet this exodus must
go on. As from distant hills the rivers nro
poured down through tunnels to slake the
thirst of our great cities, so from distant
country places, the streams of incorrupt pop
ulation must pour down to purify our great
cities. To-morrow m< ruing, on all the thor-
oughfares, in every steamlmat. and in every
rail car will Ik* young men going forth to
sock tlreir fortune in our great towns. O
Lord, dial of Daniel, help them to Ik* as faith
ful in Babylon as they were at Jerusalem!
Forgot not tn the greet, senports she moral
and religious principles inculcated bv'ptsam-
tal solicitude; and if to-day, oh, my young
friend I seated in the house of God, you feel
the advantage of early Christian culture, for
get not those to whom you are most indebted,
and pray God that, as old age comes upon
them, and the shadow of death, the h pc of
heaven may beam through (he darkness.
God forbid that nnv of us, through our mis
conduct, should bring disgraco upon a fath
er’s name, or prove recreant to the love of a
mother I The poet ma.lo no exaggeration
when be exclaimed:
•‘How sharrier D.an a serpent's tooth it is to
have a thankh ss child 1”
Oh! that God would lead you, ns parents
and as young people, to take to heart the
lessons of this important subject; and if wo
shall learn thut there is danger of being carried
into captivity, and that early impressions
ais* almost ineffaeaeable, and that there is
something beautiful in C'hrist’an sobriety,
and that there is great attractiveness in piety
away from home—then it will be to you and
to me a matter of everlasting congratulation
that Daniel ever became a college student at
Babylon.

He is successful because he has the manly
courage to rise above all personal motives or
interests and east his vote and influence on
the side of measures which will contribute to
the well-being of his fellow-men. The good
of the many, even though it proves injurious
to the interests of the few, is the maxim of
the wise legislator. But certain men will
never admit the wisdom of this doctrine, any
more than some selfish private practitioners
will admit tbe superlative value of I)r.

Haunted Me.
Debt, poverty and suffering haunted me
for years, caused by a sick family nnd large
bills for doctoring, which did no good. I w as
completely discouraged, until one year ago.
by the udvice of my pastor, I procured Hop
Bitters and commenced their use, and in one
month we were all well, and none of us have
been sick i> <lay since; nnd I iwaut to say to
nil poor men, you can keep yeuP families Well
a year with Hop Bitters for less than one
doctor’s visit will cost.—A Workingman.
A Good Liver
Is al was known by bis appearance. A ;nan who
lives comfortably cl home, has good dinners, etc.,
will always show it la his person. But there is
another liver mote Important to man—it is the
hid liver—the. liver that should regulate the
whole system. If that b out of tlx, man is goixl
for nothing—eon enjoy nothing—to restore it to
health, use Pr. Gilder’s Liver IdUs. A few dose-

RUPTURE CURED.
Haunah, i am not surprised that he gives u
terrible smiting to idolatry us soon as lie
comes to manltood. David planned tin* Tem
pi** at Jerusalem, an*l gathered the materials
for its building: but Solomon, tbe son, came
and put up the structure, and thut goes on
in all ages. The father plans the character
of the child and its destiny for time and for
eternity: then tho son completes the struc
ture. You might as w.*ll put down n founda-
lion ten feet by five and expect to rear on it
a gi-eat cathedral, as to put down a contract

whom you dedicate* 1 them, w ill look after :

wander away for awhile, and fall into sin,
and break your heart; but before ho is done
with this life, you having commended him to
