for his text Proverbs lv., ()! "Ponder tlicpath
of thy feet," and preehed tho following ser
mon on the subject: "Two Young Men Who
Came To Live In the City:"
It wan Monday, Beptembcr 20, at a country
depot. Two young men are to take tho cars
for the city. Father brought them In awacon
with two trunks. The evening before at the
old home was rather a sad time. The neigh
bors had gathered In to say good-by. Indued,
all the Sunday afternoon there had been a
strolling that way from adjoining farms, for It
generally known that the two boys were
going to the city to live, and tho whole neigh
borhood was Interested, some hoping they
would do well and others, without taylug any
thing, hoping for them a city failure.

Sitting on tho fence talking over tho matter
tho neighbors would Interlard their conversa
tion about tho wheat crop of last summer, and
the apple crop yet to bo gathered, with re
marks about city prospects of Edward and
Nicholas, for those were the names of the two
young men Edward 17 and Nicholas 11)', but
Edward, although two years younger, being a
little quicker to learn, knew as much ns Nich
olas. They were both brown-faced and
liearly, and had gone through nil tho curri
culum of hearty sports by which luubclo Is
developed and tho client llllcd out.
Father and mother on .Monday morning had
both resolved to go to tho depot with the boys,
but tho mother at tho last moment backed
out, aud she said that somehow she felt quite
weak that morning, and had no appetite for a
day or two, and so concluded to say good-bye
at tho front door of the old place. Where she
went aud what she did after tho wagon left I
leave other mothers to guess. The breakfast
things stood almost till noon before they were
cleared away. Hut little was said on the way
to tho railroad station. As the locomotive
whistle was heard coming around the curve
tho father put out his hand somewhat knot
ted at the knuckles and one of thu Joints

Edward, being tho youngest, wo must look
after him first. Ho never was In so large n

aud women to dlsplav goods on, such agility
of cash boys, sueli Immensii stocks of goods,
and a whole community of emploe.. Ills
head Is confused us he seemed dropped like a
pebble In the 'great ocean of business life,
"llavo you seen that greenhorn from the

"He Is In such anil such a department. We
will have to break him In some iilnlit." Ed

sick that any moment ho could have cried
aloud If his prlilo had not suppressed overv

dashed off as though It weru from Influenza
or a cold In tlio head. Hut fomo of you know

llut that evening us the hour for closing has
come there aru two or three young men who
sidle un to Edward and ask him how ho likes

night, and if ho would like tliein to show him

"Confound III" cried the young man, "I can
not stand this life any lontrcr, nnd I must go
out and see the world." The same youiigmen
and others of a now larger acquaintance are
ready to escort hhn. There is never any
lack of such guidance. If o man wants to go
the whole round of sin, he can find plenty to
take lilm, a whole regiment who Know the

Hut after awhile Edward's money Is all
gone. He has received his salary again and
again, but It was spent before lie got It, bor
rowing n little here and a littlo there What
shall ho do now. Why, he has seen In his
rounds of tho gambling tables men who put
down a dollar nnd took up ten, put down a
hundred and took up a thousand. Why not
he. To reconstruct his llnanccs ho takes a
hand and wins; Is so pleased he takes another
hand and wins; Is In u frenzy of delight and
takes another hand and loses all.
When he first came to the city Edward waR
dlsiwscd to keen Sunday In quietness, reading
a little nnd going occasionally to hear a ser
mon. Now Sunday Is a day of carousal. Ho
Is so full of intoxicants by 11 o'clock In the day
lie stagircrs Into one of the licensed rum holes
of the city.'
Some morning Edward, his breath stcnchful
with rum. takes his place In the store. He Is
not fit to lc there. Ilo Is llstles?, or silly, or
Impertinent, or In some way Incompetent, and
a messenger comes to hhn. and says: "The
llrm desire to seo jou in their private oillee."
The gentleman In the private olllce says:
"Edward, we will not need you uny more.
We owe you n little money for hvrvlces since
we paid you lust, and here It is."
"What Is the inatt'Tl" says tho young man.
"I can not understand this. Have J done any
thing!" The roplv Is: "We do not wish any words
with von. Our emrncemciit with each other Is
ended 1"
ox tub noAi) to piuioition'.
',Otit or employment I" What does that
mean to n irood young man I It means oppor
tnnltv to get another and perhaps n better
place" It means opportunity for mental Im
provement and preparation for higher work.
'Out of employment 1" What does that menu
to a ilNilpiiteil young inani It means n light
ning express train on n down grade on the
grand trunk to perdition. Al Morale was a

heaven, with such speed that each step was
in fnr no I hi-1' p. could reach. A vountr mail '
out of employment through Ills dissipations Is
seated on an Al Horak, riding as fust In the
opiXKdtu direction.
It Is now only live years since Edward came
to town. Ho used to write home once u week
at the longest. Ho has not written home for
three months. "What can bu thu mutter!"
say the old people at home. Ono Saturday
morning the lather puts on the best apparel
of his wardrobe and goes to the city to llud
out.
'(). he has not been here for n long while,"
soy the gentlemen of the llrm. "Your sou, 1
am sorry to say, Is on the wrong track."
Tho father goes hunting him fiom plaeo to
place ami comes suddenly upon lilm that night
In a place of abandonment. The father eavs:
"My son, come with me. Your mother has
ciit me to bring you home. I hear you are
out o' money and good clothes, aud you know
as long as we live you can have a home. Coniu
right away," he says, putting his hand on the
young man's shoulder.
Tiir. oi.n fatiikh's axxiutv.
In nnirry tone Edward replies: "Take your
hands olt mel You mind j our own business I
I will do as I please I Take your hands oil of
me or I will strike you down! You go your
wav mid I will go mine!"
That Saturday night, or rather Sunday
morning for It is by this time i o'clock In tho
morning--the father goes to the city homo of
tils Mm Nicholas, and rings the hell, aud rings
luraln and again, and It seems as If no answer
would he given; hut after a while a window Is
holfted and a voice cries: "Who's there!"
"It. Is me," says tho old man.
"Why, father; is that you!"
lu u mliiutu the door is opened and the con
says :
"What in the world has brought you to the
city at this hour of the night i"
"O, Edward has brought me here. I feared
your mother would go staik era.y not hearing
'from him, and I llud out that It Is worse with
him than 1 suspected."
"Yes," says Nicholas, "I had not the heart
to write um anything about It. I have tried
in v next with hint and nil In vain. Hut it Is
after 'J o'clock," hijh Nicholas to his father,
"and 1 will take you to a bed."
On a comfortable couch In that house tho
old father lies down eoaxluir sleep for a few
hours, hut no sleep conies. AVhnsc house Is It!
That of his son, Nicholas. Tho fact Is, that
Nleliohu soon after coming to tho city became
ilidlspKiisablo lu the commercial establish
ment In which he was placed. He knew, what
few persons know, that while In all depart
ments of business, ami incclmtiliii, nnd art,
there Is a surplus of people of ordinary appli
cation and ordinary diligence, there Is a gieat
scarcity, and alua,s has been a great scarcity,
ol people who excel. Plenty of jH'oplo to do
things poorly or to'erahly well, hut very few
clerk, or business men, or mechanics who can
do spleudlill) well.

take something, ho said "No" with tho po
cullar Intonation that meant no. His conver
sation was ahvavs as ptuo as if his sisters had
been listening. ' He went to no place of nmue
meut where lie would be ashamed to die. He
never bet or gambled, even at u church fair.
When he was at the b.urdlng house, after ho
had got all the artist e development ho could
possibly receive from the ehromo on the wall,

"Yes; It Is mortal. To tell you the whole

can hardly bear to tell you, he Is dead."
"Dendl" cries Nicholas. And by this
t.'mc the whole family are In the hallway.
The father savs:
"Just as I feared. It will kill his mother

O, what obsequies I The next door neigh
bors hardly knew what was going on; hut
Nicholas and the father and mother knew.
Out of the Christian and beautiful home of
the one brother Is carried the dissolute broth
er. No word ot blame tittered. No harsh
things said. On a bank of camellias is spelled
nut the word "Hrother." Had the prodigal
been true and pure nnd noble in life and hon
orable In death ho could not have been carried
forth with more tenderness, or slept In a more
beautiful casket, or been deposited In a more
beautiful garden of the dead. Amid Un
loosened turf the brothers who left the coun
try for cltv life live jeans before now part for
ever. The last scene of the fifth act of an aw
ful tragedy of human life Is ended.
What made the difference between these
two young men! Hellglon. The one depend
ed on himself, the other depended ou Mod.
They started from the same home, had the
same opportunities of education, arrived In
the city on the Fame day, and It there was any
difference, Edivurd bad the advantage, for ho
was brighter and quicker, and all tho neigh
bors prophesied greater success for him than
for Nicholas. Hut behold aud wonder at the
tremendous secret. Voices come up out of
this audience and snv: "D.d you know these
brothers!" "Yes; knew them well." "Hid
von know their parents!" "Yes; Intimately."
What was the city, what the street, what the
last names of these joung men! Youhaveex

Now, the troublo Is that many make dis
graceful surrender. As we all know, there Is
honorable and dignified surrender, as when a
small host yields to superior numbers. It is
no humiliation for a thousand men to yield to
ten thousand. Ills better than to keep on
when there can he no result except that of
massacre. Hut lho3o who surrender to sin
inako a suirrnder when on their side tliev have
enough reserve forces to rout all the armies of
perdition, whether led on by what n demono
grapher calls Hclial, or Heelzehiib, or Apollyon,
or Abaddon, or Ariel. The disgraceful thing
nbout the surrender nt Sedan was that the
French handed over 41U Held guns and
mltrallleiisls, (!,0U) horses and .'1,000 armed
men. Aud It Is base for that man to surrender
to slu w lieu all tho armaments of Almlghtl
ness would have wheeled to the front to light
his battle If ho had waved one earnest hlgnal.
Hut, no! He surrendered body, mind, soul,
reputation, home, jiedlgree, time and eternity,
while vet all the prayers of Ills Christian an
cestors were on his side and all thu preferred
aid supernal, cherubic, beraphic, angelic,

I'LKADlNfl I'OU YOUXO STItAXOKUS.
AVhv tills fccrmoni! I have made up my
mind that our city life is destroying too many
joung men. There comes hi every September
aud October a large influx of those between
10 and 21 vears of ngo and New York and
llrooklyu damn at least a thousand of them
every year. They are shoveled oil and down
with no more compunction Mum that with
which a coal heaver scoops the anthracite Into
n dark cellar. What with the wine cup aud
the gamblers' dice, and the scarlet enchant-re-s,
no young man. without the grace of
Mod, is safe ten minutes.
There Is much discussion about which is the
worst city of the continent. Some say New
York, some say Net,- Orleans, some say Chi
cago, some say St Louis. What 1 have to
say Is, you can not make much comparison
between the Inllnlties, and in all our cities
the temptation seems lutliiite. Wo keen a
great many mills running day aud night. Not
rice mills or cotton mills. Not mills of corn
or wheat, but mills for grinding tin men. Such
are all tho grog-shops. Hn'iiscd and unli
censed. Such nro nil the gambling saloons.
Sueh aru all the houses of infamy. And we do
the work according to law, nnd we turn out a
new grist everv hour, ami grind up warm
hearts and clear hearts, and the o.irth about a
elder mill Is not more faturated with tho
beverage than the ground about all these
mlnd-destrolng Institutions is saturated
with the blood of viet ins. Wo say to Long
Island neighborhoods and villages: ' Send us
more supply;', and to Westchester and Ulster
nnd nil the other counties ot New York:
"Send us more men nnd women to put under
