mi ye took Mr
Tt Ip n moral disaster that jocosity 1ms de
spoiled so ninny passages of Hcr.pturc, and
my text is one that has suffered from Irrever
ent and misapplied quotation. It shows
'great poverty of wit and humor whim people
take the sword of divine truth for a game at
fencing or chip off from the Kohinoor dia
mond of Inspiration a sparkle to decorate a
fool s cap. My text is the salutation in the
last judgment to t»o given to those who have
shown hospitality and kindness and Chris
tian helpfulness to stningors. By railroad
and steamboat the population of the earth
are nil the timo In motion, and from one
year p end to another our eitl« s are crowded
with visitors.
Kverv morning on the tracks of the Hud-
sou 1 Mver, the Pennsylvania, th 0 Eric, the
Long Island Railroads there oomo passenger
trains more than I c m number, so that all
the depots and the wharves are a-rumble
and n-olting with tbo coming in of u great
immigration of strangers. Home of them
come for purposes of barter, some for mech
anism some for artistic grutilhmiion. some
for sightseeing. A great many of them go
out on the evening trains, and consequently
ho city makes hut little impression upon
tbein, hut there are multitudes who in the
hotels and boarding houses make temporary
residence. They tarry hero for three or four
days, or ns many woolw. They spend the
tiajs in the stores and the ovonings In sight
see ng. Their temporary stav will either
make or break them not only flnaneinlly, hut
morally, for this world and the world that is
to come. Multitudes of them come Into our
morning and evening services, J am eon -
Selous that I stand in the presence of many
this moment, 1 desire mofe especially to
speak to them. May God give mo tlio right
^^’l and help mo to utter it In the right
I here have glided into this house those
nuknown to others whoso history If told
would bo morn thrilling than tlio deepest
tragedy, more exciting than Putt! a song,
more bright Ilian a spring morning, more
awful than a wintry midnight. If they
could stand up here and tell the story of
t ie r escapes, and their temptations, itnd
he rbereavements, and their disasters, ami
t holr victories, and their defeats, there would
be in this house such a commingling of
groans and aeohimntlous as would make the
place unondurable.
m ? n wll °* ,n Infancy, lay in a
cradle satin lined. Out yonder is a man
who was picked up „ foundling on Boston
Common. Here Is a rnnn who Is coollv ot>-
B«r\Ing this religious service, expecting no
ndvan age and caring lor no advantage for
himself, while yonder is a man who has been
for ten years in an awful conflagation of evil
habits, and ho Is a mere cinder of a destroyed
nn ure, and ho In wonderiug tf there shall ho
in tills servle.o any cscapo or help for lii.s im
mortal soul. Meeting you only once per
haps face to face, I strike hands* with you in
nn earnest talk about your present condition
and your eternal well l.nin.r uf
and jour eternal well being, Ht. Paul’s shir,
lit Melita went to pieces where two seas
meet, but we stand to-day at a point Where
a thousand seas converge, and eternity alone

Tin, hotels o f fhi« country, for beauty and
eioghnoo, nre not surpassed by tho hotels In
any other land, hut those that are most cele
brated for brilliancy of tapestry and mirror
cannot give to tho guest anyeostlyapnrt-
mont unless he can afford a parlor In addi
tion to hi* lodging. The stranger, thorofore,
will geuorntty Mud assignoil to him a room
without any pictures and perhaps any mak
ing chair. He will find a box of matches on
a bureau and an old newspaper left by the
previous occupant, and that will be about all
tho ornamentation. At 7 o’clock in theevon-
ug, after having taken his repast, he will
look over his memorandum hook of tlio day’s
work, he will write a letter to his home, and
thou a desperation will seize upon him to get
out ^ ou hear tho great city thundering
under your windows, and you say, “I must
join that procession.” and In ten minutes you
have joined it. Where are you going? “Oh,”
you say, *•! haven't made up my mind yet.”
Better make up your mind before you start.
Perhaps the very way you go now you will
always go. 'twenty years ngo there were two
young men who came down the Astor Hour:*
step* and storied out in a wrong direction,
where they have been going ever since.
Well, where are you going?” says one
man. “I am going to the academy to hear
some music.” Good. 1 would like to join
you at the door. At the lap of tho orchestral
baton all the gates of harmony and beauty
will open before my soul. I congratulate
you. Where are you going? “Well.” you
way, “l am going up to see some advertised
pictures.” Good. I should like to goulong
with you and look over the same catalogue
and s*mij with you Konsott and Bioratndl
ami Ghurch and Moran. Nothing more
elevating than good pictures. Where me
you going? “Well,” you say, “I am going
up to tho Young Men’s Christian Association
rooms." Good. You will And there
gymnastics to strengthen the muscles, ami
books to improve tho mind, and Christian
influence to save the soul, 1 wish every city
In the United .States had as IIm* a palace for
its \oiing Men's Christian Association
an New York has. Whe.’e are you going?
"Well." you say, “/ am going lo take a long
walk np Broadway ami so turn around into
the Bowery. J nm going to study human
Jlfe.” Good. A walk through Broadway at
8 oVlock nt night Is Interesting, educating,
fascinating, appalling, exhilarating to the
last degree. Stop in front of that theatre
and see who goes in. Htop at that saloon
and see who comes out. Heo the great tides
of life surging backward nnd forward and
boating against (he marble of the curbstone
ami eddying down into the saloon a . What
is that mark on tbf^face of that debauchee?
It is the hectic flesh of eternal death. What
la that woman’s laughter? It is tho shriek
of a lost fioul.
Who Is that Christian man going along
with a vial of anodyne to the dying pauper
on Elm street? Who Is Hint belated man
oo the way in a pro ye r meeting? Who is
that cby missionary going to taken box in
which to bury a child? Who are nil these
clusters of bright and beautiful faces? They
are going to some interesting place of amuse
ment.
Who is that man going Into f he drug store?
That Is the man who yesterday lost all his
fortune on Wall street. Ho is going In for a
dose of belladonna, and before morning it
will make no difference to him whether
stocks are up or down. I tell 3*011 that Broad
way, between 7 and 12 o’clock at night, be
tween Die Battery and Central Park, is an
Austerlitz, a Gettysburg, a Waterloo, where
kingdoms are lost or won and three worlds
mingle In the strife.
I met another coming down off the hotel}
steps, and j 8a y, “Where are you going?”
You s.n>*: “I amjjoing with a metohant of(
New York who has promised to show me thei
underground life of the city. I am his cus-j
toiner, &.nd he is going to oblige me very I
much. ’ Stop! A business house that Vrlesi
to get or keep 3*our custom through such a
process as that is not worthy of you. Theref
are business establishments iu our cifiesj
which have for years been sending to fle-J
Ktruction hundred and thousands of mer
chants. They have a secret drawer in thel
counter where money is kept, and the clerk
goes and gets it when he wantR take thesei
visitors to the city through the low slums of
the place.
Shall I mention the names of some of these j
greut commercial establishments? I havo ;
them on my lips. Shall I? Perhaps I had
better leave it to th^ young men who iu tnat j
process have been destroyed themselves
while they have been destroying others. I (
care not how high sounding the name of a j
commercial establishment if it propones to
uv\ customers or Uj keeti thnrtt bv such a oro- !
epBs as that. Drop their.acquaintance. They
will cheat you before yon get through. They
will send yon a style of goods different from
that which you bought-by sample. They
will givo you under weight. There will lm
in the package half a dor.pn loss pairs of sus
penders than you paid far. They will roh
you. Oh, you fool in your pockets and say.
"Is my money gone?”* They have robbed
you of something for which dollars ami coats
can never give you eompfhsatton.
When one of these Wifcjjtorn merchants lias
been drugged by one ofcfthoso commercial
agents through the slunVfe of tho city, he is
not lit to go home. Tbb more memory of
what ho has semi will pShornl pollution. T
think you had better lotljho oily missionary
and the police attend tb tho exploration of
New York nnd underground Jib*. You do
not go to a 8tniillno£ hospital for the pur
pose of exploration. You do not go there
because 3*011 are afraid pr contagion. And
.vet you go Into the pjvsfnoo of a moral lep
rosy that Is as much nu-pe dangerous to you
ns the dentil of the Moulds worse than death
of the body. I will undertake to sav that
nine-tenths oT tho men who have been ruined
iu our cities have boon ruined by simply
going to observe without any idea of partici
pating. The fact is that Underground olt.y life
is a filthy, fuming, reeking, pestiferous depth
Which blasts the eye that looks at It. In the
reign of terror in 1792 In Uarls people escap
ing from the officers of fho law got Into the
sewers of tho city and crawled and walked
through miles ol that awlnl labyrinth, stiffed
with tho atmosphere an# almost dead, some
of them, when they oamo out to the river
Heine, where they washed theinpolvoa nnd
again breathed the fresh air. But 1 have to
tell you that a greut lYpijhy of the mou who go
011 the work of exploration through the un
derground gutters of flaw York life never
come out at any Heine Itlver where they

No More Deadlocks.
There was no democratic quorum
present in the house Friday morning.
Mr. Reed took advantage of it and be

of the journal. As nothing could be
done, the democratic leaders decided
to adjourn the house and have a demo

decided that the house rules should be
so changed that there can be no .more
deadlocks, In other words, members
present and not voting are to be so
counted as to make a quorum. That
was agreed upon in the adoption of a
resolution offered by Mr. DcArmond.
The resolution provided that, “It iH

iu lieu of the said contract and the
depressed financial condition of the
country having dosed down a number
of their mines, llms leaving a number
of miners at Blue Creek, Ujnt.t mines,
Coalburg, etc., out of employment,
causing a surplus of idle men on
the market to compete with those
at work for a living, we deemed it
advisable, in view of our surround
ing circumstances and the low, unpre
cedented condition of the iron trade,
voluntarily <0 otter said operators a
reduction of 10 per cent ou scale now
in force on certain conditions, which
proposition was rejected by said opera
tors, and in return said operators
made a counter-proposition of 22 per
cent, which proposition was submitted
to n popular vote of the miners und
was rejected and our former proposi
tion was modified, giving said opera
tors a further concession to enable
them to put in operation the mines aud
furnaces now idle; but our second
proposition was not more succcbslul
than our first, aud in view of our de
plorable condition, we cannot grant
any farther concession for the best in

the community.”
