Ho likewise these magicians tried to iml tote the plague of frogs, and perhaps by mnell of food attracting a great number of them to a certain point, or by shaking them out from a hidden place, the magicians some ttmes seemed to accomplish tho same inir.i ole. While these magicians made the plague worse, none of them tried to make it better. “Frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt, and the magicians did so with their enchantment, Egypt.” nod brought up frogs upon tho land of Now that plague of frogs has come back upon the earth.

The greatest blessiug that ever came to this nation is that of nu ele¬ vated literature, and the greatest scourge has been that of unclean literature. This last has its victims in all occupations and departments. penitentiaries It has helped to almshouses fill iusaue asylums and and and ileus of shame.

In the presence of my Qcd 1 warn you of the fact that your chil¬ dren are threatened with moral and spirit ual typhoid, and that unless the thing bs stopped it will be to them funeral of body, funeral of mind, funeral of soul. Three funerals in ono day. My word is to this vast multitude of young people: l)o not touch, do not borrow, do not buy a corrupt book or a corrupt for picture. A book will decide a man's destiny good or for evil. Tho book yon read yesterday may have decided you for time aud for eter¬ nity, or it may be a book that may come into your possessions to-morrow. A good bonk—who can exagg crate its power? Benjamin Franklin said that his reading of Cotton Mather’s “Essays to De Good” in childhood gave him holy aspira¬ tions for all tho rest of his life. George Law declared that a biography he read iu child¬ hood gave him all nis subsequent prosperi¬ ties. A clergyman, many years ago, passing lie to the far west, stopped at a hotel. saw n woman co pying something from Dodd¬ ridge's “Rise and Progress.” It seemed that she had borrowed the book, and there were some things she wanted especially to re¬ member. The clergyman had in his saahsl a copy of Doddridge's “Rise and Progress,” and so he made her a present of it. Thirty that years passed and he on. asked The clergyman came whom way, where the woman was he had seen so long ago. “She lives yonder in that beautiful bouse.” He went there and said to her, “Do you remember me?” She said, “No, I do not.” He said, “Do you re¬ member a man gave you Doddridge's ‘Rise and Progress' thirty years ago”' “Ob, yes; I 1 remember.

He would loan it only fifteen min¬ utes, and then I had to give Tike it back, but that book has haunted me a specter ever since. I have in agony of soul, on my knees before God, prayed that he would obliterate from my soul the memory of it, but I shall carrv the The damage of it until tbe William day of Rus¬ my death.” assassin of Sir sell declared that he got the iuspi iration for his crime by reading what was th eu a new and Homer's popular “Iliad'' novel Alexander "Jack Sheppard." made the war¬ rior. Alexander said so. The story of Alexander made Julius Caesar and Cnarlea XII. both men of blood. Have you in vout pocret, or in your trunk, or in your desk ar business a bad book, a bad picture, a baa pamphlet? iu God’s name I warn you to de¬ stroy it. Another way in which wo shall fight back this corrupt literature and kill the frorso. Egypt is by rolling over tbom the Christian printing press, which shall give plenty ot healthful reading to all adults. AU these men and women are reading men and wo¬ men. IVhat are you reading? Abstain from all those Viooks which, while they had some good things about them, had also an admix¬ ture of evil. You have read books that had two elements in them—tho good aud the bad. Which stuck to yon? The bad! The heart of most people is like a sieve, which lets the small particles of gold fall through, but keeps the great cinders. Once in a while there is a mind like a loadstone, which, plunged amid steel and brass filings, gathers up the steel and repels the brass. But it is generally the opposite, if you attempt to plunge through a fence of burrs to get oue blackberry, you will get more burrs than blackberries. read bad , , book, , You cannot afford to a however good you are. You say, “The in fluence is insignificant.” I tell you that the scratch of a pm has sometimes produced lock¬ do, jaw. Alas, if through curiosity, as curiosity many vou pry into an evil book, your who would is ns daugerous as that of the man take a torch into a gunpowder mill merely to see whether it would really blow up or not. In a menagerie a man put his arm through the bars of a black sleek leopard’s bright cage. The animal’s hide looked so ana Tbe and beautiful. He just strobed it once. monster seized him, and he drew forth a hand torn and mangled and bleeding. Oh, touch not the evil even with the faint¬ est stroke! Though it may be glossy and beautiful, touch it not lest you pull clutch forth your soul torn and bleeding under the of the black leopard. “But,” you say, “how can I find out whether a book is good or bad without reading it?” There is always some¬ thing suspicious about a bad book. I never knew an exception—something suspicious in the index or style of illustration.

Soon in a madhouse she will mistake her ringlets for curling serpeants, and thrust her white hand through the bars of the prison, and smite her head, rubbing it back as though to push the scalp from the skull, shrieking: “My brain! my brain!” Oh, stand off from that! amid Why will you go sounding your way the reefs and warn¬ ing buoys, when thore is such all sail a vast set? ocean in which you may voyage, We see so mauy books we do not under¬ stand what a book is.

It took all the universities of the past, all the martyr fires, all tho civilizations, all the battles, all the victories, all the de¬ feats, all the glooms, all the brightness, all tho centuries to make it possible. A book! It is the chorus of all ages; it is the drawing room in which kings and queens and orators and poets and historians come out to greet you. If I worshiped anything on earth I would worship that. If I burned incense to any idol I would build an altar to that Thank God for good books, healthful books, inspiring books, Christian books, books of men, books of women, Book of God. It is with, these good books that we are to overcome corrupt oagles. literature. I Upon the frogs for swoop with those depend much the overthrow mortality of iniquitous books. Even literature good hooks upta the of have a hard struggle to live. Polybius wrote forty books; only five of them loft. Thirty books of Tacitus have perished. ished. Livy Twenty books hundred of Pliny have per¬ books; wrote one and forty ASschylus only thirty-five of them remain. wrote one hundred dramas; only seven remain. Euripides wrote over a hun¬ dred; only niueteen remain. Vatro wrote the biographies of over seven hundred great Romans. All that wealth of biography has perished. If good and valuable books have such a struggle to live, what must be the fate of those that are diseased and corrupt and blasted at tbe very start! They will die as the frogs when the Lord turned back the plague. The work of Christianization will go on until there will bo nothing left but good books, and they will take the supremacy of the world. May you and I live to see the illustrious day! Against every bad pamphlet send a good pamphlet; innocent against picture; every against unclean picture send an every scur¬ rilous song send a Christian song; against every bad book send a good book; and then it the will Toletum be as it missals was in ancient kept Toledo, by where were the saints in six churches, and the sacrilegious Romans demnuded that those missals be destroyed, and that the Roman missals be substituted; aud the war came on, aud I am glad to say that the whole matter having been referred to champions, the champion of the Toletum missals with one blow brought down the champion So it will of be the in Roman day. missals.

Lady Hester Stanhope was the daughter of the third Earl of Stanhope, and after her nearest friends had died she went to the far east, took possession of a deserted convent, threw up fortresses amid toe mountains of Lebanou, opened .the castle to the poor, and the wretched, and the sick who would come in. She made her castle a home for t-he un¬ fortunate. She was a devout Christian woman. She was waiting for the coming of the Lord.

THE UNEMPLOYED. More than 100,000 New Yorkers Crvino- y ° For Work. The sun rises every day above this . great and wealthy city, his beams fall upon the hapless faces of more than one hundred and fifty thousand people who begin each twenty-four hours of their pilgrimage through life with the haunt ing fear that hunger will be their portion in for the day. Every night that wraps of its mantle of darkness this busy hive humanity finds thousands upon thousands of men, women and children struggling with desperation for the means to pro cure a place whereon to lay their wearied *** *"««"»■” »'v.j • moments that mean naught but despair to them in their waking hours. It is a sad story this chronicle of the woes of a great city’s unfortunates; but its grim reality cannot be avoided. Nor can it be distorted into figures that might please. The facts are there. They speak with crushing force. They show that in this city of New York, with its gigantic fortunes, its wonderful business interests, its evidences of growing pros¬ perity on every side, there is still to be solved the mighty problem of the poor. To the person who has not sought full information on this presented particular below- subject will the startling facts dawn with peculiar force. To the workers in the w-ide arena of charity the the vista of misfortune spread out before them will appeal with stronger vehem¬ ence for renewed efforts in the field of human sympathy. The World, as the friend of the working classes, has taken the most trustworthy method of finding the extent of the poverty that exists in the city, and the figures and facts that follow be made. are as nearly correct as they can At no period in the city’s history have so many people during been without employ¬ ment as this present winter. Seasons of remarkable business depres¬ sion have come and gone; panics have time staggered many lines of industry from to time; waves of unaccountable slackness in the manufacturing world have been experienced during the past five decades, but their consequences were not results as far-reaching painfully for evil or their so apparent as the un¬ known causes that to-dav oblige nearly one-ninth of New l T ork’s population to be without occupation or work of any description the that might aid them to keep wolf from the door without assist¬ ance from some other source. In the skilled trades this remarkable condition of affairs is more than usually striking. thousand There are over one hundred mechanics and artisans of every description There vainly seeking employment. are 50,000 people who have no trades, but who have the desire for and abilit >i to work at any tiling that a ht enable them to fight the battle of life also yearning for something to do. Many of these are women, and a very large pro¬ portion of these, mothers of helpless families, who despairingly seek from day to honestly day for the means to help them put earned bread in the mouths of their children. Almost ten thousand more are made up of that driftwood of society—the wreck and the outcast—who cave not for work or the sweets of life as purchased by the toil of hand or brain, and whose existence on earth seems to be at best only a hard struggle with a condition of things in which they have no choice, and, having none, have list¬ lessly allowed themselves to float along the tide of misfortune until hope has long been blotted from their minds. There are thousands of boys and girls who, while not altogether dependent on their own efforts for a living, are just as mxiously waiting for an opportunity to help along the struggle against poverty ■hat daily made is in their homes. Many lundreds of these children earned a touple of dollars a week as cash boys or girls during the holidays, but now they ire again without employment.—IN. Y. World. Mexicans and Porta*.. - J. M.

In Mexico the rates are high. For instance, it costs ten cents to send a letter from any of tbe river towns to the city of Mexico, or provinces south of here, 'and five cents to nearer points. The greasers are not at all lacking in trickery. Instead of paying the high rates of their own government, they simply paddle across the river, buy a two-cent American stamp and mail their letters to any point iu Mexico they please. They take a dollar’s worth o'f trouble to save a few cents; but then the government is cheated, and there is some satisfaction in that. The officials have tried to stop the busines', butletmetell you, they couldn’t do it. For genuine skin-game tricks, the ordinary greaser lays over any class of people I ever met.” —-(Chicago Tribune.
