A Leadville Sermon.
At one of onr evening entertainments
Mr, S. L. Dow. M. P (Victoria) ft
Scotchman of excellent humor, who is
returning from a tour in America, read
ns n sermon which re had taken down
as heard jit in Leadville. Thi ser
vice was iu a theatre; some whisky
barrels made the pulpit. After sing
ing “A Day’s March Nearer Home ”
a hard featnn d miner rose to address
the l ard featured congregation:
Friend- 5 the regular preacher has
,
gone down among the boys who are
working the new carlwiate miues at
Gunnison, and I have been appointed
to take liis hand and heave it for all
it's worth. To many of you present
it wo./t be necessary to tell that I’m
kinder new to this business hut I dou’t
believe there’s a rooster in the camp
mean enough to take advantage of my
ignorance and cold-deck ate on the
first deal. I have been reading in
this yere book thfat yarn about the
prodigal son, and I will tell you the
story. The bonk don’t give no dates,
but I reckon it happened a considera
ble spell back in history. It seems
the prod’s father was pretty flush
the stamps, and » real good sort into
the bargain, at always shelled out
(be bargain, as he always shelled, out
freely wheu the kid struck him for h
s take, and never bucked at the^sife of
the pile neither, so long ns the boy
heaved in hearty on the ranch und
generally behuded hisself handsome.
But by-uu-by the kid grew restless
and wanted to rustle out ihe gravel, so
he got the old man to aute up m ad
vance of the death racket and let him
go. Ho no sooner got bis divvy io bis
pocket than he shook the ranch, and
spread himself out t -take hi some of
tiie far-off c*mps. Well, accoidiog to
the book, he hud a way-up time at
fust, «nd slnn u his coin around a- if
ha owned ihe best paying lean within
a thousand mil s of Denver. Bur, uiv
this S' Wt didn’t last fov-rer.
fri' mis, game
Hard luck .struck lorn at last, ami the
prod is found one of his sober in
tervals remarking in a -.'Otiiideudiai way
to one of his churns: “I say, old pard
I’m busted clean down to the bed rock
and them's the Cold-blooded facts,”
The book don’t say wlmt »he prod went
broke on, but proimbly he ;• tec red up
again t some brace game. Be that as
it may; however, he wasso beautifully
cleaned out that h - hadn't a two-bit
piece lift to go and eat on. In this
condition h« struck a ranch belonging
to an old grangerwho, taking pity on
the poor bn tad p"d, gave him a job
of hording hogs. The granger wasn’t
a bad old sample iu a general way but
be WHSiucliueJ to be kinder mean on
the feed, and so it cam • that the prod
got so frightfully sharp-s t f r a m*® 1
he had t<» go whacks in tin- h >g-trough.
You bet the kid, whoiu liis flush times
had been boozing around among the
best of everything like a silver king or
a bigrailmsd monopolist, had now
plenty of time on his bands for doing
a tall lot of thinking and one day he
said to himself: “I’ll just diug this
business, Why even the mean*-t beif
iu my old governor’s hirel s-rvice are
living on a square grub and plenty of
it; while I’m worrying along here on a
shook lunch. I know what I’ll do—
I’ll jnst skip back home tithe old man
and a*k for a netv deal.” So a way he
went went, but uot he ne had tie* i a a hard oHiu time rime reaching teHcning
the ranch, and don’t you 3 foru*t it.
Wh«u _ c you 3 have p * ecty ' of coin, ’ rnv J
friends every bod vs pleasant but when
you’re ou the borrow, you don’t find it
so good. Finally he did strike the
familiar trail leading dow<< m the ..l,i
home, and whil-crossing some vacant
the ,„d man. a*-li • b.,o\ put it,
saw him coming afar off. Yes, that old
, m ..n’ s pyen were very din), bat he del
i no fail to spot the b-»y atar off.
An i wimt d’ye s*ppo*e that, pro i’s

; " " t - No, but I tell you wh .< n di I.

on the ranch to bt slaughtered, invited
all the neighbors ia, and had the big

Now, it appears the prod’s elder
brother was out at work with the
teams, and when he catno in he a-ked
some <.f the h. lp uhat was the mean
ing of thu yicnic they ware having in
side. and when he was told the teason
he got real mad. The [old man hear

‘'Come in, lad; y«*or brotuer’s come
back, and we’re having a r« gnlar old

along, like a *ood fallow, und share in

wouldn’t budge, and said. “Look he<*
dad I have stuck to the ranch, and

but it never struck you to have a pic
nic of this kind until yau give it in

make your bets on it that the old man
had a level head, und wasn’t easily buff

bushel worth a cent, so far as th*
spirit is concerned. The spirit you
are s' 1 owing, my lad, lends to narrow
mindness to bigotry, to intolerance
and to tooling round and burning folks
because they don’t fix up their formal
observances just exactly as you have
urrmiged and as you asaert must be
right.” And now, friend-, it is to the
credit of the brother that ><e took his

An (>ld man who had for years been
a strict chinch member, and who had
done bhhjIi efft-ctiie work for tlie cause
of teuif-eratiee. was found lying by the
roadside the other day m a state of in

why he should not be excommunica

“Family trouble?" nek*d the chair -

“No, «ir, for I hate had no tiouble.
It was pride.”

“Yes, pride. As I went along to
town I met a drunkeu Miow and I
begun to think Well of myself, be*
cause I had ntv*r been drunk. JFreity
soon 1 began to fe«l proud of it. A
little fmther <n I nut an ordinary
looking feller an’ wouldn’t speak to
him. My neck got so stiff with my
pride that I wouldn’t even and to peo
ple. I reflected that my pado was
wicked, and I tried and tried but
couldn’t tlnow off. I tried to pray,
but was u lir tie too pio«*l to pray wi k
terror. 'This won’t do,’ I mused. ‘I
ain getting to be a tegular Pharisee.'
Af>«r walkin’ 'round awhile I met an
old negro and asked;
‘I'ncle, otu yon tell me how to
throw off my pride?’
‘Dat 1 ken, «ah; dat I ken,'
'Well, I wish you would, for to
continue in this proud way will be
dangerous to my soul.’

An old ir.aiil writing tothe Nashville
World, has the following to eiiy about
old bachelors, which will be read with
inteie-t;
“In the boundless prairies of earthly
love of different sorts and decrees, the
old bachelor is the rank weed which
mars its beauty. His withering frown
chills to d. ath each bud and flower
which attempt to scatter its perfume
around him. He frightens away the
twittering birds of love which flutter
about, trying tout iiJtbe hemlock *eeda
of a bmmi life, of a heart which aches
f‘'<'Ua i ,(s lonliucss.
He is a pit ful object—a blighted
weed in the field of human affectiou.
There is no lively woman to cheer him
back to the paths <sf earthly bliss to
point the way to future happiness,
Alone and in despair, lie wends liis way
through thorny vale* und over rocky
steeps, and leaves untrodden those cool
sequested vales where the sweetest
flowers blow and brightest wat- rs run.
No one is interested in his wel aie, his

to winch he nightly returns, to lie upon
a lonely pillow, no wife nor child to
bless his Uu.
When wet or hungry he finds but a
cold hearth to welcome or abarieu tw

bend over his dying form—no agoniz

Lead Poison
Of h! 1 the asstalio prisons, l<-afl is
perhaps.'he ono most taken into th*
human body. It is eliminated from
1body with more difficulty than ihe
other poisons, und excepting those
that directly kill, Its effects are the
severest and most varied.
Lead may euier the system Hi rough

from type hold in the mo >tb by com*
positors. It may be taken in through

taken iu through the unbroken skin
from hair dies and rouget, und through
