After expounding a jiassage of the Scrip tures the llcv. T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D.. took for his tort Proverbs iv, 20: "Ponder the path of thy, feet," and preached the fol lowing scr.no:i on the subject: "Two Young Men Who Camd to Live in the City:" It was Monday, Sept. 20, ct a country depot. Two young men are to take the cars for the city. Father brought them in a wagon with two trunks. The evening before at the old home was rather a sad time. The neighbors had gathered in to say good-by. Indeed, all the Sunday afternoon there had been a strolling that way from adjoining farms, foi? it was generally known that the two boya the next morning were going to the city to live, and the whole neighborhood was intcrer;tc 1, Komo hoping they would do well and others, without sa3"ing anything, hoping for thein a city failure. Sitting on tho fence talking over th- inciter Ihs neighbors would interliri th'jir conversation about the wheat crop of last summer and the apple crop yet to le gathered, with remarks about the city prospects of Edward and Nicholas, for t host- were the names of the two young i:k:: 11 hvuixl 17, and Nicholas, 11); but Edwr.ru, although two years younger, being a littk; j.:i :ker to learn, knew as much as Ni l-tlj;:. They were both brown-faced and hearty, r.:: 1 had gone through all the cur riculum of hearty sports, by which muscle is developed and the c hest tilled out. Father and mother on Monday morning had both resolved to go to the depot with the boys, but the mother at the last moment backed out, and she said that somehow she felt quite weak that morning and had no ap petite for a day or two, and so concluded to say good-by at the front door of the old place. Where she went jind what she did after the wagon left I leive other mothers to guess. The breakfast things stood almost till noon before they were cleared away. But little was said on the way to the railroad station. As the locomotive whistle was heard coming around the curve the father put out his hand, somewhat knotted at tha knuckles and one of the joints; stiffened years ago by a wound from a scythe, and said: "Cood-by, Edward; good-by, Nicholas! Take good care of yourselves and write as soon as you get there, and let us know how they treat 3011. Your mother will ls anxious to hear." Landed in the city, they sought out with considerable inquiry of j)olicenien on street corners and questioning of car drivers the two commerc ial establishments to which they were destined, so far apart that thereafter they seldom saw each other, for. it is astonish ikjvv mi apart iwo persons can oe in a large city, especially if their habits are dif ierent practically, a hundred miles from Bowling Green to Canal street or from At lantic avenue to Fulton. Edward, being the youngest, we must look after him first. He never was in so large a store in all his life. Such interminable shelves, such skillful imitation of real men and women to display goods on. such asrilitv of lash boys, such immense stock of goods, ana a vnolj commumtv of emnlov-ps Hi head is confused as he seems dropped like a pebble i:i the groat o jean of business life. 'Have you seen the greenhorn from the country f whispers young man to young man. tie is in auh u;:d r:neh a department. We will have to break him in some night.'7 luiward -t?.:ids at his new place all dav so homesick that any moment he could have cried aloud if his pride had not suppressed everything. Here and there a tear he care lessly dashed off as though 'it were from in fluenza or a cold in the head.1 But some of you know how a young man feels when set down in a city of strangers, thereafter to fight his own bat lies, and no one near bv seemin"- to care whether ho lives or dies. The center of a desert, a month's journey to the first set tlement, is not much more solitary. tiut that evening as the hour for closing tias come, there are two or three voumr men who slide up to Edward and ask him how he i!ces the city and where he expects to so that night, and if he would jike them to show him the sights. He thanks them and says he shall have to take some evenings for unpacking and making arrangements, a0ic had just ar rived, but says that after awhile he will b glad to accept their company. After spend ing two or three eveninrrs in his boarding hou c room, walking up and down looking at the bare wall or an old chromo hung there at the time that religious newspapers by such prizes o-:vanrvd their subscription lists, and after an hour toying with the match box and over and anon examining his watr-h tn te it is time to retire and it seems that 10 o'clock at night or even U o'clock will never come he resolves to accent the rh anprnnintr of his new friends at the store. The following night they are all out to ether. Although his salary is not larce. he i? quite flush with pocket money, which the old folks gave him after saving by for some time. He cannot bo mean, and these friends are doing all tlm for his pleasure, and so he pa3's the bills. At the door of places of en chantment his companions cannot find t.h change, and they accidentally fall behind just as the ticket office is approached, or they say they will make it all right, and will them selves pay tho next time. Edward, accus tomed to farm life or village life, is dazed ann enchanted with the glitter of spectacular sin. Plain and blunt inimiitv PVUvmvi X j vmn have immediately repulsed, but sin accom panied by bewitching orchestra: sin amid gilded pillars and gorgeous upholstery; sin arrayed in all the attractions that the powers iu. nui.-i, m tuuiumttiiuiL can arrange to magnetiea young man, is very different from t,in in its loathsome and distrusting shape. But after a few nights, lx;ing very late out. he saj-s: "I must stop. Mv nursrt won't. stand this. My health won't stond thic xr. reputation won't stand this." Indeed, one of the business linn one night from his private box in which he applauded a play, in which attitudes and phraseology occurred which, if taken or uttered in his own parlor, would have caused him'to shoot or stab the actor on the spot f i on this high-nriced box sees in a cheaper place the new clerk of his store, and is led to ask questions about hi j habits' and wonders how, on the salarv tho house pays him, ho can do as he does. " Edward to recover his physical vigor end Lis finances, stopped a whib and spent ' a" few more even ings examining the chromo 0:1 th-wall and counting the matches in the match box, or goes down into the boarding house parlor to hear the gossip about the ; other boarders or a dis coui'so on the insufliciency of 'the table fare considering tho price paid the criticism se vere proportion as the fault finder pays lit- uc vr is rcsoivpu to leave and pay nothing at clL unceremoniously "Confound it!" cried the y oung man, J cannot stand this life any louger, and I must go out and see the world." The am t. men, and others of a now larger acquAintance" are ready to escort him. There is never any lack of such guidance. If a man wants to eo cne wnole round of sin, he can find "plenty to take him a whole regiment who know the way. But after -awhile Edward's money is all gone. He' has1 received his salary" again' and again, but it was spent before he got it borrowing a little here and a little there. What shall he do now? Why, he has seen.

He i not fit to be,, there. He is listless, or silly, or impertinent, qjc 'in some way incom petent, and a messenger comes to him and says: The firm desire to see you in their private office." The gentleman in the private office says: Edward, we will not need you any more. We owe you a little money for services since we paid you last, and here it is." "What is tho matter V says the young man. "I cannot understand this. Have I done any thing r Tho reply is: "We do not wish any words with you. Our engagement with each other is ended!"1 "Out of employment P. What does that mean to a good young man? It means .oppor tunity to get another and perhaps a better place. It means opportunity for mental im provement and preparation for higher work. "Out of employment r What does this mean to a dissipated young'man ? It means a light ning express train oil a down grade on the Grand Trunk to Perdition- Al Borak was a winged hon e on which Mahomet pretended to have ridden by night from Mecca to Jeru salem and from Jerusalem to the seventh heaven with such speed that each step was as far as the eye could reach. A young man out of employment through bis dissipations is seated on an Al Borak, riding as fast in the opposite direction. It is now only five years since Edward came to town. He used to write home once a week at the longest, i He has not written home for three months. "What can be the matter " say the old people at home. One Saturday morning the father puts on the best wearing apparel of his wardrobe and goes to the city to find out. "Oh, he has not Ijeen here for a long while," say the gentlemen of the firm. "Your son, I am sorry to say, is on the wrong track." The old father goes hunting him from place to place, and comes suddenly upon him that night in a place of abandonment. The father savs: "Mv son. come with me. "Your mother has sent me to bring you home. I hear you are out of money and good clothes,and you know as long as we live you can have a home. Come right away," he says, putting his hand on the young man's shoulder. In angry tone Edward replies: "Take your hands off me! You mind your own business! I will do as I pleasa! Tako your hands off of me or I will strike you down! You go your way aud I will go mine !'' That Saturday night, or rather Sunday morning, for it is by this time 2 o'clock in the morning, the father goes to the city home of his son Nicholas and rings the bell, and rings again and again, and it seems as if no answer would be given, but after a while a window is hoisted and a voice cries: "Who's there?" "It is me," says the old man. "Why, father is that j'ou?" In a minute the door is opened and the son says: "What in the world has brought you to tha city at this hour of the night?" "Oh! .Edward has brought me here. I feared your mother would go stark crazy not hearing from him, and I find out that it is worse with him than I suspected." "Yes," said Nicholas, "I had not the heart to write you anything about it. I have tried my best with him and all in vain. But it is after 2 o'clock," says Nicholas to his father, ' and I will take you to a bed." On a comfortable couch in that house the old father lies down coaxing sleep for a few hours, but no sleep comes. Whose house is it? That of his son, Nicholas. The fact is, that Nicholas soon after coming to the city became indispensable in the commercial es tablishment where he was placed. He knew, what few persons know, that while in all de partments of business, and mechanism, and art, there is a surplus of people of ordinary application and ordinary diligence, there is a great scarcity, and alwaj's has been a great scarcity, of people who excel. Plenty of people to do things poorly or tolerably well, but very few clerks or busi ness men or mechanics who can do splendidly well. Appreciating this, Nicholas had re solved to do so grandly that the business firm could not do without him. Always at his place a little after everybody had gone; as ex tremely polite to those who declined purchas ing as to those who made large purchases. He drank no wine, for he saw it was the empois onment of multitudes, and when any one asked him to take something he said "No," with the peculiar intonation that meant no. His conversation was always as puro as if his sisters had been listening. Ho went to no place of amusement where he would be' ashamed to die. He never bet or gambled, even at a church fair! "When he was at the boarding house, after he had got all the artistic development he could possibly receive from the chromo on the wall, he be gan to study that which would help him to promotion study penmanship, study biog raphies of successful men ; or went forth to places of innocent amusement and to Young Men's Christian associations, and was not ashamed to bo found at a church prayer meeting. He rose from position to position, and from one salary to another salary. Only five years in town and yet he has rented his Nown house, or a suite of rooms, not very large, but a home large enough in its happiness to be a type of heaven. In the morning as the old father, with handkerchief in hand, comes crying down stairs td the table there are four persons, one for each side the young man and opposite to him the best blessing that a God of infinite good ness can bestow, namely, a good wife; and on another side the high chair tilled with dimpled and rollicking glee, that makes the grandfather opposite smil outside while he has a broken heart within. Well, as I said, it was Sabbath, and Niches las and his father, knowing that there is no placo so appropriate for a troubled soul as the house of God, find their way to emireh. It is communion day, and what is the old man's surprise to see his son pass down the aisle with one of the silver chalices, showing him to be a church official. The fact was that Nicholas. from the start in city life, honored God, and God had honoi-ed him. When the first wave of city temptation struck him he had felt the need of divine guidance and divine protec tion, and in prayer had sought a re generated heart, and had obtained that mightiest of all armor,' that mightest of all protection, that mightiest of all re-en forcements, the multipotent and' omnipotent grace of God, and you might as well throw a thistle down against Gibraltar, expecting to destroy it, as with all the combined tempta tions of earth and hell try to' overthrow a young man who can truthfully; say; "God is my refuge and strength." ! Come, let us measure N icholas around the head., As many inches of brain as any other intelligent man. - Let us measure him around the heart. It is so large lit takes in all the earth.. and. all the heavens. Measure him around, the purse. He has . more . resources than' nine-tenths of those who, on that Mon- daji Sept. 30, came in on any of the railroads irom north or south, or east or west. ,. . . But. that Sabbath afternoon, while in the back room, Nicholas and histather are talk ing oyer any attempt at. the reclamation of Edward, there is a ' ringing of . the door bell and a "man with the uniform of a policeman stands there,' and a man .with some embar rassment and some halting, and in a round about way says, that in a fight" in some low haunt of the city Edward has been hurt, ' He says to Nicholas: .'r'I beard that he was some relation of yoursand thought you ought" to know it." ' "Hurtl; Is he "badly hurtr ... ..... "Yes, very badly hurt." "Is the wound mortal f -Yes; it is mortal. ' To .tell' you the whole' utim sir,- says; tne policeman; .-although J can hardly bear to tell you, be is dead.; ., .' 1 "Deadl" cries Nicholas. And by this time the whole family are in the hallway. .

Had the prodigal been true and pure and noble in life and honorable in. death ho could not have been carried forth with more tenderness, or slept in a more beautiful casket, or been de posited in a more beautiful garden of the dead. Amid the loosened turf the brothers who left the country for city life five years before now part forever. The last scene of the fifth act of an awful tragedy of human life is ended. What "made the difference between these two young men? ReUgion. The one de - pended on himself, the other depended on God. They started from the same home, had the same opportunities of education, arrived m uie aiy on xne same aay ana u tnere was anyauierencedward naa -tne advantage, i0:1 TO!? - ,au J? 3 ueigiiwi .rupu,ii greater iur mm than for Nicholas. But behold ami wonder at the tremendous secret. - Voices come up out of this audience and say : "Did you know these brothers?" "Yes; knew them well." "Did you know their parents?" "Yes; inti mately." What was the city, what thei street, what the last names of these young men? You have excited our curiosity, now tell us all. - " I will. Nothing in these characters ii fictitious except the names. They are in every city, and in every street of every city, and in every country. Not two of them but 10,000. Aye, ayel Right before mo to-dav, and on either side of me, and above me, they sit and stand the ' invulnerable through re- ligious defence and the blasted of city allurements; those who shall have longevity in leautiful homes and others who shall have 1 ...... AO i .l T ' 1 a V1 v t iinmu). .emu i am uyie lo- day in the name of Almighty God to give you tho choicp of tho two characters, the two histories, tho two exieriences, the two des tinies, the two worlds, the two eternities. Standing with you at the forks of the road, something makes me think that if to-day I set before the people the termini of the two roads, they will all of them take the right one. There are before me in this house and in the invisible audience back of this for ioumal- Lsm has generously given me every week full opportunity to address the people in all the towns and cities of Christendom I say, in the visible and invisible audience there are many who have not fully made up their minds which road to take. ''Come with us!" cry all the voices of righteousness. "Come with us!" cry all the voices of sin. Now, the trouble 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 1,000 men to yield to 10, 030. It is letter than to keep on when there can be no result except that of massacre. But those who surrender to sin make a surrender when on their side they have enough reserve forces to rout all the armies of perdition, whether led on b' what a demonographer calls Belial, or Belzebub, or Apollyon, or Abaddon, or Ariel. The disgraceful thing about the surrender of Sedan was that the French handed over 419 field guns and mi trailleuses, 0,000 horses and 83,000 armed men. And it is base for that man to sur render to sin when all the armaments Almightiness would have wheeled to the front to fight his battle if he had waved one earnest But. no ! He surrendered body, mind, soul, reputation, home, pedigree, time and eternity, while yet all the prayers of his Christian ancestors were on his side and all the profcred aid supernal, cherubic, sera phic, angelic, deific. We have talked so much tlKTlast few weeks about the abdication of Alexander of Bul garia, but what a paltry throne was that from which the unhappy king descended com pared with the abdication of that young man, or middle-aged man, or old man, who quits the throne of his opportunity and turns his back upon a heavenly throne and tramps off into ignominy and everlasting exile! That is an abdication enough to shake a universe. In Persia they will not have a blind man on the throne, and when a reigning monarch is jealous of some ambitious relative he has his eyes extinguished, so that ho cannot possibly ever come to crowning. And that suggests the difference between the way sin and di vine grace takes hold of a man. The f ormer blinds him so he may never reach a throne, while the latter illumines the blind that he may take coronation. Why this sermon? I have made up my mind that our city life is destroying too many young men. There comes fn every Septem ber and October a large influx of those be tween 10 and 24 years of age, and New York and Brooklyn damn at least a thousand of them every year. They are shoveled off and and down with no more compunction than that with which a coal heaver scoops the an thracite into a dark cellar. What with the wine cup and the gambler's dice and the scar let enchantress, no young man, without the grace of God, is safe ten minutes. There is much discussion about which is tho worst city of tho continent. Some say New York, some say New Orleans, some say Chicago, some say St. Louis. What I have to say is, you cannot make much com parison between the infinities, and in all our cities the temptation seems infinite. We keep a great man' mills running day and night. No rice mills or cotton mills. Not mills of corn or wheai, but "mills for grinding up men. Such are all tho grog shops, licensed and unlicensed. Such are all the gambling saloons. Such are all the houses of infamy. And we do the work according to law, and we turn out a new grist every hour, and grind up warm hearts and clear heads, and the earth about a cider mill is not more satu rated with the beverage than the ground about all these' mind-destroying institutions is saturated with the blood of victims. We say to Long Island neighborhoods and vil lages: "Send us more supply," and to Westchester and Ulster and all the other counties of New York; "Send us more men and women to put undar the wheels." Give us full chance and we could grind up in the municipal mill five hundred a day. We have enough machinery; we have enough men who can run them. Give us more homes to crush ! Give us more parental hearts to pulverize 1 Put into the hopper the wardrobes, and the family Bibles, and the livelihoods of wives and childrea. Git us more material for these mighty mills, which are wet with tears and sulphurous with woe, and trembling with the earthquakes of an incenaed God, who wilt, unless our cities repent, cover us up as quick and as deep as in August of the year 7l Ve suvius avalanched Herculaneum. ; : O, man and woman, ; ponder the path of thy feetr See which way you are- coins:.

The French cabinet rn-riav discussed the demand and separated without being able to agree as to the proper answer to make to Spain. It was resolved to submit the I matter to President Grevy. Senor Zorilla, in an interview, said be knew nothing of the revolt in Spain until he rea(J 0f it fn the papers. He Lnnmr tb nnfinn nf his fripnds. but did not expect so sudden an ex- plosion. PKOF. PROCTOR'S VIEWS. The Englisii Astronomer's buke of Wiggins. Re- St. Louis, Sept. 2G. The English astronomer, Richard A. Proctor, in an article contributed to the Globe-Demo crat, entitled t4 Wiggin's Prophecy," says: "It appears to me shameful that any man, even he be not a student of science, and therefore fully aware of the mischief he is doing, should spread abroad predictions of coming disasters in such sort that foolish folk are likely to be disturbed and terrified. Wiggins, a half educated and wholly unscientific employee of the meteoro logical office in Ottawa, has long en deavored to acquire a cheap reputation by weather predictions or that kind, which, of itself, assures students of science that tne weather prophet is either utterly ignorant or exceedingly knavish. After noting several in stances of the failure of former pre dictions made by Wiggins, Mr. Proc tor asserts that the former's alleged discovery of & second moon is but a reinvention, or adapted discovery, and sustains his statement by quotations from Tice and M. Petit, of Marseilles, and shows that the existence of a sec ond lunar body similar to our visible moon is an imposibility. "Wiggins," continues the writer, "claims to have predicted the earthquake of August 31, but truly lie has so continually threatened storms and earthquakes that no great disturbance of either sort could steer clear of his predic tions. He now loud! v proclaims that on the 29th inst., there will be another great earthquake, one of the most terrific subterranean upheavals ever known on this Continent. He knows that such prediction will attract atten tion for awhile to his name; that if no disturbance should take place on the 29th or near enough io that date to seem like the fulfilment of his predic tion, people will soon forget the failure of his prophecy and be as ready as ever to listen to him again." Mr. doctor thinks it is exceedingly prob able that no great earthquake will occur in the Charleston reerion for years, possibly centuries. RUSSIA AND BULGARIA. An Excuse 1'or Russian Interfer enceAlexander at Frank fort. London, September. The Bul garian government has been informed that the hostile demonstration at the Russian agency in Sofia against Gen eral Kaulbars will iurnisn an excuse for Russian interference. . Sofia, September li. It is stated that the Russian ultimatum to Bul garia, of which General Kaukars is the bearer, demands the immediate raising of the state of siege of Bulga ria, the liberation of all political pns oners and the indefinite postponement of elections for members of the na tional assembly. However, there are no signs of flinching on the part of tbe regency. On the contrary, the anti-Russian feeling increases daily. Berlin. . September 24. Prince Alexander visited Frankfort to-day.
