Subject: "Worth Living."
Ts.x-: "Wherefore doth a livinj? man com
platnV Lamentations ii!., 39.
If we leave to the evolutionists to trnoss
where we came from, and to the theologians
to prophesy where wo are sroln? to, w still
have left for consideration the Important
fact that we are her. There may he some
doubt about where the . river rise;-, and
pome doubt about where tho river empties,
but there can be no doubt about tho fact
that we are sailing on it. So I am not sur
prised that everybody asks tho question, "Is
life worth living?"
Solomon in his unhappy moments siys it
is not. "Vanity," "vexation of spirit," "no
cool," are his estimate. The fact is that
Solomon was at one time a polycamist, and
that soured his disposition. One wife makes
a man happy; moro than one makes him
wretched. But Solomon wa3 converted from
polygamy to monogamy, and tho last words
he ever wrote, as f.ir as wo can road them,
were the words "mountains or spices.' But
Jeremiah says in my text life is worth living.
In a boolc supposed to bo doleful and
lngubr'nus and sepulchral and entitled
, "Lamentations"' he plainly intimates that
; tho blessing of merely living is so great and
grain! a blessing that though a man havn
I piled on him all misfortunes and disasters
i ho has no right to complain. The author of
! my text cries out in startling intonation to
j all lands and to all e:intun, "Wherefore

of opinion In our time as well as in olden
time. Here is a young man oT light hair

In the way to become the partner in a com

He will laugh in vour face an 1 sar. "Yes.

i the forties. it j3 at the tiptop of the hll! of
life. Every step has been a stumble and a
bruise. The people he trusted have turned
out deserters, an tho money he has honestly
made ho has been cheated out of. His
nprves are out of tune. lie has poor
j appetite, an 1 all tho fool ho does eat does
not assimilate. Forty miles climbing up the
hill of life havo been to him like climbing
tho Matterliorn, anl thero are fort j miles
yet to go down, and descent is always more
dangerous than ascent. Ask him whether
life is worth living, and ho will drawl out in
Shivering anl lugubrioua and appalling
negative, "Xo, no, no !"'
How are we to decido this matter right
eously and intelligently? You will find the
Mm? man vacillating, oscillating in his opin
ion from dejection fc exuberance, and if he
bo very mercurial in his temper iment it will
depen 1 very much upon which wav the
wind blows. If tho wind blow from the
Tiorthwest, anil you ask him, ho will say,
"Yes," and if it blow from the northeast,
nn 1 you ask him, he will say "No." How
are we, then, to get the question righteously
answered? Suppose wo c ill all nations to
gether in a great convention on eastern or
western hemisphere an I let all those who
are in the affirmative say "Aye," and all
those who are in tho negative say "No.
While thero would b3 hundreds of thou-
srtnds who would answer in tho affirmative,
thero would b mora millions who would
answer in the neitive, an I beciuse of tho
greater number who hav sorrow and mis
fortuno and trouMe tho "noes would have
it. The answer I shall give will be different
from either, and yet it will commend itself
to all who hear methis day as tho riht an
swer. If you ask me, "Is life worth living?"
I answer, it all depen Is upon the kind of life
.you live
In the first place, I remark that a lifo of
mere money getting is always a failure, be
cause you will never get as much as you
want. The poorest people in this country
are tho richest, an l tho next to them those
who are half as rich. I hero is not a scis
sors grinder on th3 streets of New York or
Brooklyn who is so anxious to make money
as these men who have piled up fortunes
year after vear in storehouses, in govern
ment securities, iu tenement houses, in
whole city blocks.
You ought to sen them jump when they
hear the lireboll nn . lou ought to see
them in their excitement when some bank
explo les. You ought to see their agitation
when there is propose I a reformation in
tho tariff. Their nerws tremble like harp
strings, but no music in the vibration, lhey
read tho reports from Wall street in the
morning with a coucernment that threatens
paralysis or apoplexy, or, moro probably.
they havo a telegraph or a telephone in their
! he ust, so thej-catch every breath of change
in the money market. The disease of accu
mulation has eaten into them eaten into
their heart, into their lungs, into their
spleen, luto their liver, into their bones,
Chemists have sometimes analyzed the hu-
I man bo iy, and they say it is so muca mag
nesia, so much lime, so much chlorate of po
; tassium. If some Christian chemist would
analyze one of these financial behemoths, he
. would find ho is made up of copper and gold
1 and silver and zinc and lea I and coal and
i iron. That is not a life worth living. There
: are too many earthquakes in it, too many
agonies in it, too many perditions In it. They
I build their castles, and they open their pict
ure galleries, and thej-snmmon prim t don-
: nas. and thev offer every inducement for
happiness to come and live there, but happi- i
liess wiil not come.
They send footmanned and postillioned
equipage to bring her ; she will uot ride to
their door. They send princely escort ; she
will not take their arm. They make their
gateways triumphal arches ; she will not
ride under them. They set a golden throne
before a golden plate ; she turns away from
the banquet. They call to her fro.n up
holstered balcony ; she will not listen. Mark
you, this is the failure of those who havo had
largo accumulation.
And then you must take into consideration
that tho vast majority of those who make the
'dominant idea of lifo money getting fall far
short of affluence. It is estimated that only
about two out of a hundred business men
havo anything worthy the nam of success.
A man who spends his life with one domi
nant idea of financial accumulation spen is a
lifo not worth living.
So the idea of worldly approval. If that
be dominant in a man's life, he is miserable.
The two most unfortunate men in this coun
try for the six months of next presidential
campaign will be the two men nominated
for the presidency. The reservoirs ot abue
and diatribe and malediction will gradually
flll up. gallon above gallon, hogshead above
hogshead, and about autumn these two reser
voirs will be brimming full, and a hose will
be attached to each one, and it will play
away on these uominees, and they will have
to stand it and take the abuse, and the false
hood, and the caricature, and the anathema,
and the caterwaul ins:, and the filth, and they
will be rolled in it and rolled over and over
in it until thev are choked and submerged
nn.l cfmnculated. and at everv sign of re
turning consciousness they will be barked
at by all the hounds ot political parties from
ocean to ocean,
An,l vpt thereare a hundred men to-Jay
struggling for that privilege, and thereare
thousands of men who are helping them iu
the struggle. Now, that is not a life worth

what you see in the matter of high politl
i cal preferment you see in every com
i munity in the struggle for what is called
social position.
! Tens of thousands of people tryms to Fet
into that realm, and they arj under ternfle
tension. What is social position? It is a
difficult thing to define, but we all know
what it is. Good morals an I intelligence are
j not necessary, but wealth or the show of
1 wealth is absolutely indispensable. There
uro mea tosJay sa tctcrieat for their liber
tinism as the night Is famous for its dark
ness who move In what is called high social
position. There are hundreds of out and out
rakes In American society whos"i names are
mentioned among the distinguished guests
at tho great levees; They have annexed all
the known human vices and are lorlgintj for
other worlds of diabolism to conquer. Good
morals are not necessary in many of the ex
alted circles of society.
Isemier Is Intellieence necessary. You find
in that realm men who would not know an
adverb from an adjective if they met it a
hundred times A day and who could not
write A letter o'accentance of reerets without
the aid of a secretary, "f hey buy their libraries
oy tnesquare yard, only anxious trj have the

tlvely sublim?, making English grammar al
most disreputable, anil yet the finest parlors
open before them. Good morals and in-
telligence ar not necessar.7. but wealth or a
show of wealth is positively indispensable.
It does not make nny difference how you
got your wealth if you onlv get it. The best
way for you to get into social position is for
you to buy a large amount on credit, then
put your property in your wife's nime, have
a few preferred creditors and then make an
assignment. Then disappear from the com
munity until the breeze is over and then
come back and start in the same business.
Do you not see how beautifully that will put
out all the people who ana in competition
with yotl and trying to make an honest liv
ing? How quickiv it Will get you into high
so"ial position ! What is the use of forty or
fifty years of hard work wnen 3-0U can 03
two or three bright strokes make a great
fortune? Ah, my frlen Is, when you really
lose your money how quick they will let you
drop, and the higher you et the harder you
will drop.
There are thousands to-lav in that realm
who are anxious to keep in it. Thera are
thousands in that realm who are nervous tor
fear they will tall out of it, and there are
changes going" on every year and every
month and every hour which involve heart
breaks that are never reported. High social
life is constantly In a flutter about the deli
cate question as to whom they shall let in
and whom they shall push out. and the bat
tle is going on pier mirror against pier mir
ror, chandelier against chandelier, wine cel
lar against wine cellar, wardrobe against
wardrobe, equipage against equipage. Un
certainty and insecurity dominant in that
realm, wretchelness enthroned, torture at a
premium and a life not worth living.
A life of sin, a life of pride, a life of Indul
gence. a life of worldlness,a life devoted to the
world, the flesh and the devil is a failure, a
dead failure, an infinite failure. I care not
how many presents you sent to that cradle.
or how many garlands you send to that
grave, you need to put rignt under the name
on the tombstone this inscription, "Better

Amid the hills of New Hampshire in olden
times there sits a mother. There are six
children in tho household four boys and
two irirls. Small farm. Very rough ; hard
work to coax a living out of it. Mighty tug
to make the two ends of the year meet. The
boys go to school in winter and work the
farm in summer. Jiotner is mo tuiei yre
siding snirit. With her hands she knits all
the stockings for the little feet, and she is
the mantua maker for the boys, and she is
the milliner for the girls. There is only one
musical instrument in the house the spin
ning wheel. The food is very plain, but it
is alwavs well provide!. The winters are
T-Arv old. but are kept out bv the blankets
sheoutlted. On Sunday, when she appears
in tho village church, her children around
her. the minister loo'is down and Is remin 1
ed of the Bible description of a good house
wife "Her children arise up and call her
blessed. Her husband also, and he praisetu
her."
Same years go by, and the two eldest boys
want a collegiate education, and the house
hold economics are severer, anl the calcuia
tions are closer, and until those two boys get
their education thera is a hard battle for
bread. One of these boys enters the univer
sity, stands in a pulpit widely influential
and preaches righteousness, judgment an l
temnerance. ana tnousanis curing ms nun
istry are blessed. The other lad who got the
collegiate education goes into the law, an 1
thence into legislative halls, and after a
while he commands listening senates as he
makes a plea for the downtro lden and the
outcast. One of the younger boys becomes
a merchant, starting at the foot of the la i
der, but climbing on up until his success aud
his philanthropies are rec?gaea au over iqo
lanj. The other eon at bent &sum
he prefers farming lire, and then ho things 1
he will be able to take care of father and
mother when they get old.
Of the two daughters, when the warhro'o
out one went through the hospital of Pitts
burg Landing and Fortress Monroe, cheer
ing up the dying and bomesiet. and taxing
the last ilieosage to kindred far away, so that
everv time Christ thought Of her He said, as
of old, "The same is My sister and mother;"
The other daughter has a brteht home of her
own, and in the afternoon of the forenoon
when she has been devoted to her household
she goes forth to hunt uo the sick and to
encouraze the discouraged, leaving smues
and benediction all along the way.
But one daV there start five telegrams from
the village for these five absent ons, saying,
"Come mother is dangerously ill. But he
fore they can be ready to f-tart they receive
another telegram, saving, "Come; mother is
dead.' The old neighbors gather in the old
farmhouse to do the last offices of respect.
But as that farming son. and the clergyman,
and the senator, and the merchant, and the
two daughters stand by the casket of the
dead mother, taking the last look or lifting
thif liftlo children to see once more the
face of dear old grandma, I want to ask
that group around the casket one question,
"Do you really think her me was worm nv-
intr?" A life for God. a life for others, a
life of unselfishness, a useful life, a Chris
tian life, is always worth living.
I would not fin I it har I to persuade you
that the poor lad. Peter Cooper, making glue
for a living and then amassing a great ior-
tune until he could build a philanthrophy
which has had its echo in 10,000 philanthro
pies all owr the country I would rot nnd
it hard to persuade you that his life was
worth living. Neither .would I find it hard
to persuade you that the life of Susannah
Wesley was worth livinsr. She sent out one
son to organize Methodism and the other son
to ring his anthems all through the ages. .1
would not find it hard to persuade you that
tho life of Frances Leere was worth living.
ns she established in England a school lot
the scientific nursing of the sick, and then
when the war broke out between i ranee ana
Germany went to tho front, and with her
own hands scraped tne mua oil iu
bodies of the soldiers dying in tne
trenches with her weak arm, standing one
night in the hospital, pushing back a Ger
man soldier to his couch as, all frenzied with
his wounds, he rushed toward the aoor ana
said : "Let me go ! Let me go to my MieDe
mutter.' " Major-Generals standing baeic to
let pass this angel of mercy.
Neither would I have hard work to per
suade you that Grace Darling lived a life
Worth living the heroine 01 tne meooar.
You are not wondering that the Duchess of
Northumberland came to see her, and that
people of all lands asked for her lighthouse,
and that the proprietor ot the Adelphl The
atre, in London, offered her $ 100 a night
just to sit in the lifeboat while some ship
wrecked scene was Deing enactea.
But I know the thought in the minds ot
hundreds who read this. You 6ay. "While
I know all these dived lives worth living, 1
don't think my life amounts to much." Ah,
mv friends, whether you live a me con-
spiclous or inconspicuous, it is wortn living
if you live angnt. : Ana x want my uci -tenco
to go doWriSJnto the depths of all
your souls. You are to be rewarded, not
according to tfi' greatness of your work,
but according to the holy industries
with which you employed the talents you
really possessed. The majority ot tne
crowns of heaven will not be given to peopm
with ten talents, for most of them were
tempted only to serve themselves, ine vase
majority of the crowns of heaven win te
given to psople who had one talent, but gave
it all to God. And remember that our life
hore is introductory to another, it is tne
vestibule to a palace, but who despises the

grander glories within? Your life it ngntiy

A Remarkable et.
"I saw a new fish net new to me,
at least in the Kennebec River re
cently," said J. S. Stackpole, of Au
gusta, Me., at Mnrste. iiie Poor
fish have no chance at au witn it. 11
was an ordinary net, provided with a
rubber tube all around the top. The
tube is connected with a compressed
air-pump, operated from a boat on
the shore. The net is sunk and the
fish are attracted over the middle of
it, either by an incandescent lamp or
by bait, if the fisherman does not
want to carry too much paraphernalia.
When enough fish have gathered the
fisherman works his air-pump and in
flates the rubber tube. It rises slowly
and so gently as not to alarm the fish.
In this way when entirely inflated the
whole top "of the net is raised to the
surface of the water, completely sur
rounding the entrapped fish. They
shoot downward in flight, and never
seek to go over an obstacle, and so all
are easily taken. The net is reset
simply by allowing the air to escape
from the rubber tube, when the net
I sinks again. St. Itoui Globe-Demo

pitcher. A quick eye, swift move
ment and courage aro necessary to
make a good batter. When at the
bat he should stand in an easy posi
tion, tho bat firmly grasped, and the
arms well out and away from the
body, his weight resting on the right
foot. The body should be slightly
turned at the hips so as to face the
pitcher. On the delivery of the ball
move the left foot forward, and if the
ball is to his liking, he should swing
the whole force of his body into the
blow he intends making. Tho force
of the stroke should start from the
ball of the right foot and gather
force with the swing of the body and
shoulders. He should be careful to 1
swing the bat on a line and not
"hack" at the ball. His movement
when striking should not be violent,

for but little muscular force is need
ed to make a long hit. It is the proper
meeting of bat and ball that counts,
j Sometimes the careful placing of
; the ball may win the game. Perhaps
one of the fielders is a very poor
player, and if possible the batsman
should take advantage of this and
hit the ball to that part of the field.
The diagram will show how this may
be done. With careful practice the
ball may be hit to any point desired.
If the batsman wishes to hit the ball
to the left field, he should stand well
forward within the batsman's lines,
I as shown by the black lines of the
i diagram. The ball and bat will then
meet in the position shown. A quick
I swing of the bat will place the ball
1 toward the centre field, while a slow
1 swing will place it along the base
line.
I The dotted lines show the position
to be well back within the lines. In
this position the bat meets the bai
just behind the plate and sends it to
ward right field. The same rule re
garding the slow or quick swing of
the bat also applies to this position.
In an editorial on the recent de
structioii of the Brooklyn Tabernacle,
Engineering News strikes from the
shoulder, and strikes hard at thv
cheap manner in which many large
buildings are constructed. Attention
is especially directed to the rapidity
with which the flames spread over
the great auditorium through the
medium of the papier-mache cover
ing of the walls and ceiling. " II
seems well-nigh incomprehensible,''
says this conservative journal, "thai
a building designed to hold a great
public assembly could have been de
liberately made such a tinder box by
those entrusted with its design and
construction. The pitiful excuse
that tho napier-maehe was cheaper
than plar is the only reason that
has thus far been made public for
the use of this material." In this.
as in most other instances, cheapness
was far from being economical, but
in spite of the lesson taught at such
tremendous cost, similar errors, the
Washington Star thinks, will con
tinue to be made so long as mankind
is 4 penny wise and pound foolish."
