ElUha had goue down to lecture , 0 “2, ological students in the seminary u „ .*• He found the students very hungry, are apt to be. In order that he might p* Tr with his lectures successfully, ho sends some servants to gather food for the hun^ students. The servants were somewhat rec k lc39 in their work, and while they gather up some healthful herbs, they at the same time sather coloquintida, a bitter, poisonous, death, fnl weed, and they bring all the herbs to the house and put them in a caldron and stir them up, and then bring the food to the table where ore seated the students and their professor. Ono of the students takes some of the mixture and puts it to his lips and immediately tastes the coloquintida, and he cries out to the pro fessor: “0 thou man of God, there is death in the pot!” What consternation it threw upon the group. What a fortunate thing it was he found out in time so as to save the lives of his comrades. Well, thero ore now in the world a great many caldrons of death. The coloquin- tida of mighty temptation fills them. Some taste and quit and ore saved; others taste and cat on and die. Is not that minister of Christ doing the right thing when he points out these caldrons of mouity and cries the alarm, say- ing: “Beware, there is death m tho pot. In a palace in Florence there is a fresco of Giotto. For many years that fresco was covered up with two inches thickness of whitewash and it lias only been in recent times that the hand of art has restored that fresco. “What sacrilege, you say, "to destroy tho work of such a great master!” But there is no sadness m that com pared with the fact that the image of God m the soul has beeu covored up and # almost ob literated so that no human hand can restore the divine leueamonta. Iniquity is a coarse, jagged thing that needs to be roughly handled. You have no right to garland it with fine phrase or lustrous rheto ric. You cannot catch a buffalo with a silken lasso. Men have no objections to having their sin looked at in a pleasant light. They will bo very glad to sit for their photoghaphs if you make aWhaudsome picture. But every Christian philanthropist must sometimes go forth and come in violent collision with trans gression. I was in a whaling port and I saw a vessel that had been on a. whaling cruise come into the harbor, and it had patched sail and .spliced rigging and bespattered deck, showing hard times and rough work. And so I have seen Christian philontropists come back from some crusade against public iniquities. Fhey have been compelled to acknowledge that it has not beeu yachting over summer lakes, but it has been outriding a tempest and harpoon ing great behemoths. A company of emigrants .settle in a wild region. The very first day r bear from the mountains comes down and car ries off one of the children, and the next day another beast comes and carries off another child. Forthwith all tho neighbors band to gether, and with torch in one hand and gun in the other they go down into the caverns where those wild beast aro secreted and slay them. Now I want to go back of all public iniquity and find out its hiding place. I want to know what are the sources ot its power, or, to re- «ume tho figure of my text, I want to know wlmt ore the caldrons from which these iniquities aro dipped out. ■ - First, unhappy and undisciplined home* .are tho eource of much iniquity. A good home is deathless in iti influences. Parents may bo gone. The old homestead may bo sold and havo passed out •of tho possession of the family. The house it self may bo torn down. Tho meadow brook that ran in front of the house may have chang ed its course or havo dried up. The long line of old-fashioned sunflowers and tho hedges of wild roso may have been graded, and in place thereof are now tho beauties of modem garden ing. The old poplar tree may hive cost down its crown of verdure and may have fallen. You say you would like to go back a little whilo and see that home, and you go and oh, how changed it is! Yet that place will never loso its charm over your soul. That first -earthly homo will thrill through your ever lasting career. Tho dewdrops that you dashed from the chickweed as you drove the cows afield thirty-years ogo; the fireflies that flash ed in your father’s homo on summer nights when the evenings were too short for a can dle; tho brook; tho berries that you strung into a necklace and the daisies that you pluck- •cd for your hair—all have gone into your sen timents and tastes and you will never get over them. The trundle-bed whero you slept, the ©hair where you sat, tho blue-edged dish out of which you ate, your sister’s jumping rope, jour brother’s ball, your kite, your hoop, your mother’s smile, your father’s frown—they are all port of tho fibro of your immortal nature. The mother of niUehn&ry, .Schwarts, threw light on tho dusky brow of the savages to •whom he preached long after she was dead. The mother of Lord Byron pursued him as with a fiend’s fury, into all lands, stretching 5 loom and death into Childe Harold and Don uan and hovering in darkness over the lonely grave of Missolnghi. Itascally and vagabond people for the most ’part came forth from unhappy homes. Par ents harsh and cruel or on the one hand or on the other lenient to perfect looseness aro rail ing up a generation of vipers. A homo in which scolding and fault-finding predominate is blood relation to the gallows and peniten tiary. Petulance is a reptile that may crawl up into the family nest and crush it. There -are parents who disgust their children, even with religion. They scold their little ones for not loving God. They have an infernal man ner of hearing the catechism. They go about •even their religious duties in an exasperating way as though they were possessed of the -devil. Their house is full of the war-whoop «>f contention and from such scenes husbands and children dash out into places of dissipa tion to find their lost peace, or the peace they uever bad. Oh, is there some mother like Hagar leading her*Ishmael into the desert to be smitten of the thirst and parched in the sand? In the solemn birth hour a voice fell atraigbt from the skies into that dwelling, sayiug: “Take this child and nurse it for me and I will give thee thy wages.” When an gels of God at nightfall hover over that dwell ing, do they hear the little ones lisp the uame of Jesus 1 0 traveler for eternity with your little ones gathered up under your robes, are you sure you are on the right road, or are you leading them on a dangerous and winding bridle path off which their inexperienced feet may slip and up which comes the howling of the wolf and the sound of loosening ledge and tumbling avalanche? Blessed ths family altar where the children kneel. Blessed the cradle where the Christian mother rocks the Chris tian child. Blessed the song the little one sings at nightfall when sleep is closing the eyes and loosen'ng the hand from the toy on the pillow. Blessed the mother’s heart whose every throb is u prayer to God for the salva tion of her children. The world grows old and soon the stars will cease to illuminate it, and the herbage to clothe it, and the mountains to guard it, and the waters to refresh it, and of ita sin and shame and glory and tnumpl will torn to ashes; but parental influences, starting in the early home, will roll on and • 8 • * n ■— *“ -1 the tall i pain and shrinking back into all the shame and frownfflft all tho darkness of tho great prison hoilM. 0, falher! 0, mother! In which direction is your influence tending? I verily believe that three-fourths of the wickedness of tho great city runs out rank and putrid from undisciplined homes. Sometimes 1 know there is an exception. From a bright, beautiful, cheerful Christian home a husband or a son will go off to die. How long you have had that boy in you prayer. He does not know tho tears you have shed, no knows nothing about tho sleepless nights you have passed about him. He started on the down ward road and*will not stop, call you never so tenderly. Oh, it is tough, it is very tough’, after having expended so much kindness aud care to get such pay of ingratitude. There is many a young man proud of his mother who would strike into dust the dastard who would dare to do her wrong, whose hand by his first step in sin is uhnrpening a dagger to plunge through that mother’s heart. I saw it. The telegram summoned him. I saw him come in scarred and bloated to look upon the lifeless / 0 rm of his mother—those gray locks pushed bos k over tho wrinkled brow he had whitened by hi * waywardness. Those eyes had rained flood# tears over iniquity. That still white h,™d had written many a loving letter of couns'el ami invitation. He had broken that- old heart- When he came in he threw hira.- self on tho and sobbed outright and cried: “Mother! mother I” But tho lips that kissed him in imf* nc 7» and that had spoken so kiudly on other djy* when ho came home, spake not. They w*ere sealed forever. Rather toon such & memory c'R my soul I would-have rolled on me tho Alps And the Himalayahs. “The eye that mocketh lv* father and refuseth to obey its mother, the rltvena of the valley shall pick it out and the young eagles shall eat it.” The second caldron of iniquity to which I point is an indolent life. There aro young men coming to our city with industrious habits, and yet they see in tho city a great many men who seem to get along without any work. They have no business, and yet • they aro better dressed than industrious men, and they seem to havo more facilities of access to amusements. They hare plenty of time to spare to hang around tho beautiful hotel* or lounge around the city hall—their hands in their pockets, a toothpick in their mouths* waiting for some crumb to fall from tho office-holders table, or gazing at the criminals ns they come up in the morning from tho stationhouses,jecring «fc them ns they loop from the city van to the courthouse steps. Ah, I would as soon think ot standing at the gate of Greenwood to enjoy a funeral as to stand nt the city hall in the morning, when tho city van drives up to look nt tho carcasses of men and wo/nen slain for both worlds. Tho industrious people see these idlers standing about, and they wonder how they make their living. I won der too. They have plenty of money for the ride; they have plenty of money to bet on the boat race or the horse race; they con dis cuss the flavor of tho costliest wines; they have the best scats at tho theater. But still you ask me: “How do they get their money?” Well, my friends, thero are tour ways of get ting money—just four. By inheritance; by earning it; by begging it; by stealing it. Now there are many people in our community who seem to havo plenty of money who did not in herit it, and who did not earn it, and who did not beg it. You must tako the responsibility of saying how they got it. There are men who get tired of the drudgery of life and seo these prosperous idlers, mid they consort with them and they learn thesamo tricks and they go to the name ruin—at their dentil their departure causing no more mourning than is felt for the fast horse they fouudored and killed by a too hasty watering. Oh, tho pressure on the industrious youn* men is tremendous when they see people nil around about them ftill of seeming success, but doing nothing. The multitude of those who get their living by sleight-of-hand is multiplying. What is the use of working In tho store or office or shop or on tho scaffold or by tho forge when you can get your living by your wits? A merchant fii New York was passing along the street one evening and lie saw one of fits clerks hulf-disguisod, going in to one of tho low theaters. He said within himself: “I must look out for that young man.” One morning tho merchant came to his store and the clerk came up in assumed consternation aud s&id: “The storo has been on firo. I have got it ^ut out; but many of self. Don’t you be worried about mo.” Tho father toys: /‘Be a good boy and write home often. Your mother will want to hear fijoro you.” Crack goes the whip and nwav ovei the hills goes the wagon I The scene changes. Five years after and there is a hearse coming up the old Inite in front of the farmhouse. Killed in a porterjiouso fight, that son has come home to disgynce the sepulchre of his lathers. When the old people lift the coffin lid and see the cliangdil lace and seo tho gash in the temples where the life oozed out, they will wring their withered hands and look up to heaven end cry: “Cursed be rum! Cursed be rum!* Lorenzo de Medici, was sick and his friends thought that if they tteuld dissolve in his cup some pearls and then got him to swal low thelu he would bo cured. And so theeo valuable pearls were dissolved in Ids cup and he drank them.. What an expensive draught! But do you know that druukeuucss puts into the cup the pearl of physical health, the pearl of domestic happiness, the pearl of earthly nilnenee, the pearl of Christian hope, the pearl of an everlasting heavenand then presses it to tho lips? And on, what an expensive draught! The dramshop is the gate of hell. There are some in the outer circles of this ter rible malestrom and in the name of God I cry the alarm. Put back now or never! You sny you are kind ami genial and generous. I do not doubt it,but so much more the peril. Mean men never drink unless some one treats them. But the men who are in the front rank of this destructive habit aro 'those who have a fine education, large hearts, genial natures, and splendid prospects. This tin chooses the fat test lambs for sacrifice. What garlands of vic tory this carbunclcd hand of drunkenness hath snatched from the brow of the orator and poet! What gleaning lights of generosity it has put out in midnight darkness. Como with me and look over—coine and hang over—look down into it while I lift off the cover and you may see the loathsome, boiling, seething, groaning, agonising, blaspheming hell of the drunkard. There is everlasting death in tho pot, THE CHOLERA.

VERY FORMAL LETTER FROM THE MAINE STATESMAN. A Letter Which Will Not Prove 8uoh a Terror to the Democrats After All-Not Much “Dash 1 Displayed A Document Whioh Will Disappoint Expectant Friends.

In enumerating the issues upon which tho re publican party appeals for popular support, tho convention has been singularly explicit nnd felic itous. It has properly given tho leading position to the industrial Interests of tho country as affect ed by the tariff on imports. On that question tho two political parties are radically in conflict. Al most the first act of the republicans, when they cauiolnto power in 1801, was the establishment of tho principle of protection to American labor and to American capital.

Whero aro tho goods you stole?” and tho clerk confessed it instantly. Tho young man had gone into the plan of making money by the sleight-of-hand and by his wits.. You will get out of this world just so much as, un der God, you earn by your own hand and brain, Iloratius was told ho might have so muc h ft ..d as he could plough around in one day with a yoke of oxen and I have noticed that men get nothing in the world that is worth possessing of a financial, moral or spir itual nature save that ;bey get it by their own hard work. It isiust so much as from the mor ning to the evening ot yourlifo you eon plough around by your own continuous and hard sweating industries. “Go to tho ant, thou slug- glard, consider her ways and bo wise.” Another caldron of iniquity, is the dram shop. Suroly there is death in the pot. Anacharris said that tho viue had threegrnpes, S leasuro, drunkenness, misery. Richard III rowned his owned brother, Clarence, jn a butt of wine—these two incidents quite typical. Every saloon built above the ground or dug under ground Is a center of evil. It may be licensed and for some time it may conduct ts business in elegant »tyte; but after awhile the cover will fall off and you will seo the iniquity in its right coloring. Plant a grog-shop iu the midst of the fiuest block of houses in your city and the property will depreciate 5,10, 20, 30, 60 per cent. Men engaged iu the ruin ous traffic sometimes say, “you don’t appre ciate the fact that the largest revenues paid to the government are by our business.”. Then f remember what 3fr. Gladstone, the^ prime minister of England, said to a committee of men engaged in that traffic when they came to him to doplore that they were not treated with more /xmsidoration: “Gentlemen, don’t be uneasy about the revenue. Give me 30,- 000,000 sober people and I will pay all tho revenue and nave a large surplus.” But, mv friends, the ruin to property is a very small part of the evil. It takes everything that is sacred in the family, everything tbnt is holy in religion, everything that is infinite in the soul and tramples it into tho mire. The mar riage day has come. The happy P B * r • r * the altar. The music sounds. The gay lights flash. The feet bound up and down in the drawing room. Started on a bright voyage of life. Hails all up. The wind is abaft, iou prophesy everything beautiful. But the scene changes. A dingy garret. No fire. On a broken chair sits a sorrowing woman. Her last hope gone. Poor, disgraced, trodden un derfoot, she knows the despair of being a drunkard's wife. The gay bark that danced off on the marriage morning has become a battered bulk, dismast ed and shipwrecked. “Oh,” she says, “he was as good a man os ever lived. He was so kind, he was so generous—no one better did God ever create thau he; but the drink, the drink did it.” A young man starts from the country home for the city. Through the agency of metro politan friends he has obtained a place in a •tore or a bank. That morning in the form- bouae the lights ore kindled very early and the boy’* trunk is oft the wagon. “I put a Bible in your trunk,” says the mother as she wipes the tears away with her apron. “My dear, 1 want you to read it when you get to town.” “Ob,” he says, “mother don’t you be worried about me.

Our opponents find tanlt that pur revenue sys tem produces a surplus. But they should not forget that tho law lias given a spect#® wupoie t<j which all ol the surplua U proflubly and honora bly applied—the reduction of the paMte debt and the consequent relief of Uie burden o« taxation. No dollar lias been waned, and the only extnva- payment of a sacred debt. When reduction of tax ation Is to ho made, the republican potty can b« trusted to accomplish it In such a fbrui as will most effectively aid th© industries of the nation, ova roxDGN comxzkcx. A frequent accusationbr our ooponents U that the foreign commerce of tnc country has Rtesdlly decayed under the influence of the protective tariff. In this way they seek ttvarray the Import- lug futerest against th© republican party, it is a common anayet radical errorto confound the, commerce of the country with it* carrying trade an error often committed innocently and some times designedly—but an error so gross that It doe* not distinguish between the ship and: the cargo. Foreign commerce represents tnc cv ports and Imports of * country regardless of tha nationality of the vessel that may carry the com modities of exchange. Our carrying: trade has from obvious causes suffered many discourage ments since 1*50, but our foreign commerce bos In the same period steadily anoprpdlglou*l7 In creased—Increased indeed at a rate and v>- an amount which absolutely dwarf all previ ous developments oi our trade- be- wa fffer men* IuolIn<Jl in out tavur. but It would have been much larger It wtr Inulc with the eoantrfn of America, eiaewbere referred to, had been more sBftggrattawrrog coin's election in added to all that bad m- vlously been exported from the American colouie* from their original settlement, amounted to fern thon* nine thousand millions of dollars fW(riO,or0,«O.) on the other band our exports from 1800 to the cite of the last fiscal year ezeced- ed twelve thousand millions of dollars (112,000,- 000,000)—the whole of it being tie product of American lab*. Evidently a protective tariff bos not injured our export trade when, under its In fluence, we exported in twenty-four mrs fortv percent more than the total amount that had been exported in the entire Pjwtotm MatofyoJ American commerce. All the details, when analyzed, correspond with this gigantic result The commercial cities of the union never mcrsneethehetpfuHispulsucf a home xnurkrt, and tbeyrsco that’ the financial and revennu sys tem, exacted s'.ticc thosepubllean-party camO in'JD power, has established-and ooaataittly expanded the home market: Thor see that 1 oven in tho cate ot whet Hi which is our thief cereal export, they* have sold, in theuverageof. tho years sinco the- close of ;hir war, tlireo bxslicls nV home to ouefl they have sold abroad, and that In the coso of loom, tho only otlwr cereal- which* wo export to any extent/ one hundred ‘bushels hnvo been uiu d at homo t* three nnd'a half hfwhalsexported, I Iu some years die disparity hns- been so grout thnt for every peck of corn exportedtone hundred bushels have been consumed fn the home market* I The tanner! see tltatl*,tho iQCTCustnif aotmN.'tltloti| from tho grain fldldvof Russia and from the dist ant plains ot India, .the grovrth of tho homognmM beo * s dally otgrenter apneern X> them and every acre OUU INTtftNAL-OOHUKUUK. Such facts as these touching the growth and consumptiono/corcaU nt home give- m some slight conception of the vosthewr- of the- internal commerce of tho Uufted States. They suggest also that, in addition >o the advantage* which the American people enjoy- from protection against foreign competition, they enjoy tho aAvantairv* of absolute free trade over adarg© area and with f :rcater population than any other tuition. The eternal commerce of-' our thlrty-elgh) states nnd trine territories is carried ou without let or rerument- 11 spreads threo'-nud a hnlf million square miles—almost cqwal in extant Wi the wholo continent of Europe. Its profit* ure on Joyed to day by fifty-six million* of Auurtomi utvemen, nnd from this eaioymtnt no monop oly is created. According to* Alex ander Hamilton, when he dttousstd the snmo subject in 1790, "tha internal* competition which takes place docs awAy wIth everything like monopoly, nnd by dcgms-reduccs* the prices of articles to the minimum of a reasonable profit on the capital employed.” 16 is impossible tepoint to a single monopoly in the United Sltntc*that has been created or fostered by the industrial! system which Is upheld by the reTMbllcnn j*rty. , .
