There is almost a universal aversion to frogs, and yet with the Egyptian they wore honored, they worship were sacred, and they were objects of while alive, and after death they were embalmed, and to-day their remains may be found among the sepulchres of Thebes. These creatures, so attractive once to obnoxious the Egyptians, at loathsome, divine behest they be¬ came and and went croaking and hopping and and leaping bread into the palace of the king, into the trays and the couches of the people, and even the ovens, which now are chimneys, uplifted above the earth and on the side of but then were small holes in the earth, with sunken pottery, were filled with frogs when the housekeepers came frog to look alighted at them. his If a man sat If down attempted to eat a shoe on it plate. he to put on a was pre¬ occupied by a frog.

After Moses had thrown down his staff and by miracle it became a serpent, and then he took bold of it and by miracle it again be¬ came a staff, the serpent charmers imitated the same thing, and knowing that there were serpents in Egypt which by a peculiar pres¬ sure on the neck would become as rigid as a stick of wood, they seemed to change the ser¬ pent into the staff, and then, throwing it down, the staff became the serpent. So likewise these magicians tried to imi¬ tate the plague of frogs, and perhaps by of smell of food attracting a great number them to a certain point, or by shaking them out from a hidden place, the magicians some¬ times seemed to accomplish the same mira¬ cle. While these magicians made the plague worse, none of them tried to make it better. Egypt, “Frogs came the up magicians and covered did the with land their of and so enchantment, aud brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.” Now that plague of frogs has come back upon the earth. It is abroad to-day. It is emitting this nation. It comes in the shape of corrupt literature. These frogs hop into the store, the shop, the office, the banking house, cellar, the factory—into the the the home, into the into garret, on drawing room lad table, on the shelf the bad of the book library. the teacher’s While the is reading face is turned the other way. One of these frogs hops upon the page. v\ hue the young woman ls reading the forbidden novelette after re tiring at night, reading by gaslight, one of S5‘ha ! ;x 1 pp‘s Sfjsups shake out in the letter trough hundreds of them. The plague has taken at different times possession of this country. It is one of the most loathsome, one of the mast fright ful, one of the most ghastly of the ten plagues of our modern cities. There is avast number of books and news papers printed and published which ouo-ht never to see the light. They are filled with a pestilence that makes the land swelter with a moral epidemic. The greatest blessing that ever came to this nation is that of an ele vated literature, and the greatest scourge has been that of unclean literature. This last has its victims in all occupations and departments. It has helped to fill insane asylums and of shame. penitentiaries The bodies and of almshouses this infec and dens tion lie in the hospitals aud in the graves, while their souls are being tossed horror over into a lost eternity, an avalanche of and despair. nothing it. The London plague was by thousands, to but That counted its victims this modern pest has already shoveled morally its millions into tho charnel house of the dead. The longest rail tram that ever ran over the Erie or Hudson tracks was not long enough nor large enough to carry the beast liness and the putrefaction which have been gathered up in bad books aud newspapers of this land in the last twenty years. The literature of a nation decides the fate of a nation. Good books, good morals. Bad books, bad morals. I'begin with the lowest of .... all the litera ture, tuat which does not even pretend to be respectable—from cover to cover a blotch of leprosy. There are many whose entire business it is to dispose of that kind of lit erature. They display it before the school boy on his way home. They get the cata logues of schools and colleges, take send the names and postofice addresses, and their advertisements, aud their circulars, and their pamphlets, and their books to every one of them. In the possession of these dealers in bad literature were found nine hundred thou sand names and postoifice might addresses, be profitable to whom it was thought it things. In the to send these corrupt year 1873 there were one hundred and sixty-five establishments engaged in publishing cheap, corrupt literature. From one publishing styles house there went out Although twenty different thirty of corrupt books. over tons of vile literature have been destroyed Vice, by the Society for the Suppression of still there is enough of it left in this country to bring down upon us the just anger of ah aroused God. In the year 1868 the evil had become so great in this country that the Congress of the United States passed a law forbidding the transmission of bad literature through the United States mails, but there were large loops in that law through which criminals might crawl out, and the law was a dead failure—that law of 1868. But in 1873 another law was passed by the Congress of the United States against the transmission of corrupt literature through the mailt.—a grand law, a potent law, a Christian law— and under that law multitudes of these scoundrels have been arrested, their property confiscated aud they themselves thrown into the penitentiaries, where they belonged. Now, my friends, how are we to war against this corrupt literature, and how are the from; of this Egyptian plague to be slain? First of all by the prompt and inex orable execution of the law. Let district all good at postmasters, and United States torneys, and detectives, and reformers con ■cert in their action to stop this plague, When Sir Rowland Bill spent his life in try ing to secure cheap postage not only for England, but for all the world, and to open the blessing of the postoifice to all honest business, and to ail messages of charity, and kindness, and affection, for all health ful intercommunication, he did not mean to make vice easy or to fill the mail bags of the UDited States with the scabs of such a leprosy. It ought not to be in the power of every bad man who can raise a one-cent stamp for ■a circular or a two-ceot stamp for a letter to blast a man or destroy a home. The poslal service of this country must be c.enn, must l»o kept clean, and we must ail understand that the swift retributions of the Unite I States Government hover over every viola¬ tion of the letter box. There are thousands of men and women in this country, some for personal gain, through some through innate depravity, wish to some this great a spirit of revenge, who use avenue of convenience and intelligence for purposes revengeful, salacious and diabolic.

Wake up the penalties. be Bet every court room on this subject Let the a Sinai thunderous and aflame. con¬ victed offenders be sertt for the full term to Sing Sing or Harrisburg. about what cannot ba I am not talking talking about what is being doDe.

A great many of presses that gave themselves entirely to the publica¬ tion of vile literature have been stopped obnoxious. or have gone into business less What has thrown off, what has kept off the rail trains of this country for some time Those back nearly who all have the been leprous periodicals? rail trains of us on the have noticed a great change in the last few months and the last year or two. Why have toff nearly all those vile periodicals been kep the rail trains for some time back? Wn oef fected it? These societies for the purification of railroad literature gave warning to the publishers and warning to railroad and compan¬ ies, and warning to conductors, the infernal warn¬ stuff ing to newsboys, to keep off the trains. hibited Many of the cities have successfully pro¬ the most of that literature even from going on the news stands. Terror dealers has seized upon the publishers and the in impure literature, sand from have the been fact made, that and over the a thou¬ arrests aggre¬ gate time for which the convicted have been sentenced and to the prison and is over one hundred about ninety years, their from the fact have that two millions of circulars been destroyed, and the business is not as profitable as it used to be. How have so many of the news stands of our great cities been purified? How has so much of this iniquity been balked? By moral suasion? Oh, no. You might as well go into the jungle of the East Indies and pat a cobra on the neck, and with profound ar¬ gument try to perstlade it that it is morally poison wrong; to bite and to sting and to anything. The only answer to your argu¬ ment would be an uplifted head and a hiss and a sharp, reeking tooth struck into your arteries. The only argument for a cobra is a shotgun, and the only argument for these dealers in impure literature is the clutch of the police aud the bean soup in a peniten¬ tiary. The law! The law! I invoke to con¬ summate the work so grandly begun! Another way in which we are to drive back this plague of of Egyptian frogs people is by filling healthful the minds our I young do to with a literature. not mean say that all the books and newspapers in our families ought to be religious books and newspapers, or that every "Hundred.” song ought to be sung to the tune of “Old I have no sympathy with the attempt to make the young old.

Benjamin Franklin said that his reading of Cotton Mather’s “Essays to Do Good” in childhood gave him holy aspira tions for all the rest of his life. George Law declared that a biography he read in child hood gave him all his subsequent prosperi- passing ties. A clergyman, many years ago, to the far west, stopped at a hotel. He saw ft woman copying 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 sachel a copy of Doddridge’s “Rise and Progress,” and so he made her a present of it. Thirty years passed on. The clergyman came that way, and he asked where the woman was whom he had seen so long ago. “She lives yonder in that beautiful house.” He went there and sa id to her, “Do you remember me?” She sa id, “No, I do not.” He said, “Do you re member a man gave you Doddridge’s ‘Rise an d Progress’ thirty years ago?” “Oh, yes; I remember That book saved my soul.

Have you iu yout poecet, or in your truuk-, or in your desk ar business a bad book, a bad picture, a bad pamphlet? in God’s name I warn you to de¬ stroy it. Another way in which wa shall fight back this corrupt literature and kill the frogs of Egypt is by rolling over them the Christian printing press, which shall give plenty ot healthful reading to all adults. All these men and women are reading men and wo¬ men. What are you reading? Abstain from ali tboso books which, while they had admix¬ some good things about them, had also an ture of evil. You have read books that had two elements in them—the good and the bad. Which stuck to you? The had!

A book ! Examine the type of it. Examine the printing of it, and see the progress from the time when Solon’s laws were written on oak planks, and Hesiod’s poems were written on tables of lead,and the Siniatic commands were written on tables of stone, on down to Hoe’s perfecting printing press. A book! It took all the universities of the past, all the martyr fires, ali the civilizations, all the battles, all the victories, all the de¬ feats, all the glooms, all the brightness, all the centuries to make it possible.

Upon the frogs swoop with these eagles. I depend much for the overthrow of iniquitous literature upen the mortality of books. Even good books have a hard struggle to live.

Livy wrote one hundred and forty books; ASseliylus only thirty-five of them remain. wrote one hundred dramas; only dred; seven remain. Euripides wrote over a hun¬ the biographies only nineteen remain. Vatro wrote of over 'even hundred great Romans. All that wealth of biography has perished. such If good and valuable books have fate of a those struggle to live, diseased what must be the that are and corrupt and blasted at the very start! They will die as tho frogs when tho Lord turned back the plague. The work of Christianization will go on until there will be nothing left but good books, and they will ‘ake the supremacy of the world. May you aid I live to see the illustrious day! Against every bad pamphlet send a good pamphlet; innocent against every agtiiist unclean picture send an rilous picture; Christ every scur¬ song send a an song; against every bad book send a goid book; and then it will be as it was in ancient Toledo, where the Toletum missals were kipt by the saints in six churches, and the sacrilegious Romans demanded that those nussais be destroyed, and that the Roman missals be substituted; and the war came on, and I am glad to sav that the whole matter having been referred to champions, the champion of the Toletum missals with one blow brought down the champion of the Roman missa s.
