Among the patients treated at the Swinburne Dispensary Wed nesday was a girl aftficted with what is called a "tobacco heart." The victim of the disease is a strip per iu a u igar factory, an employ ment which superinduces the causes of her trouble. The affec tion mayti'sult from constant life in an atmosphere impregnated with tobacco, or .from excessive use of the weed. It is a degenera cy of Hie vital organ. Dr. Swin burne said that a girl with a "to bacco heart," w as still su secpt i ble to the tender passion. Between the cornet player the professional quartet, one of the best organists of the country, and a spirited preacher, the congrega tions of the Brooklyn Tabernacle i -ii have no cause ot complaint wnn its management.

"Whether God or Satan shall have complete iosses.sioti of the - . .' . j i " t cities, is the question oi tne uour. Never so many" churches. .Never so many reformatory institutions. Never so many good men and women. Never such bright pros pects as now, but don't think that righteousness will triumph without any rebuff or without a terrific aud long continued struggle. Take for -instance the one fact that in the busy season, many of bur streets in the great cities are depraving 'picture galleries by reason of the unclad figures on the boards and in the show windows, many of our Theatres and Opera Houses' and places of amusement are by their r .ii-f.rtieirir outraffinff 1 1 J 'I i I yi ni. . c o decent society. Twenty -five years ago such things would have been imnossihle. I aui sure he who would display them and the prm ter of them would be brought up in a nolicc court. I denounce this mode of advertising in show win dows. This is education in the wrong directtbi), aud I ask that all respectable merchants refuse such advertisements. Iu all the cities of this continent it is an outrage against which no voice seems to be lifted. If the pictures oi actors and actresses in the show windows and on the board fences are gen nine specimens of what is going on in the American theatre that institution is rapidly going toward Sodom. In Europe the ancient pictures are put in private mus eunis as specimens of a barbaric age and only to be looked at by antiquarians. In the name of God and all citizens I demand a re for matioii in this respect. Never since the world Started have the forces of righteousness been so triumpant as nownever since the world started have the forces of evil been so unblushing and black ening. We are on the way toward complete and. universal victory Don't charge! me with being pessimist, I :wn an optimist. The desert is to be a garden and all around is to be right. Dr. f aliiiagc then spoke of the demand for christian workers to go into the streets and workhouses and preach Jesus Christ. And stated that it was his ambition that his congregation be one great band of such christian workers. I shall set before, you this morning the antagonists of society. First I remark, belonging to this class of society are all public criminals. It is not strange that in large cities there should be large classes of criminals, American criminals, foreign criminals. Never so many good honest men (?) The greatest come from foreign lands to live here. But they do not constitute the whole. While standing at Castle Garden I saw a great multi tude come with bibles within hands. They are an addition to the moral forces as well as to society at large. I have seen them while waiting for their transportation to another railroad 'train reading their bibles to their families. But here is a fact that cannot be disputed: That the majority of criminals taking ships from Europe come to our lort. In 1S09 of the 49,000 people in the prisons of this country 32,- 000 of them; were of foreign birth Many of them were the despera does of society, they oozed into the tcresting yourselves! They must interest you because they touch your pocket. Y'ou are to-day pay ing the board of criminals, from the boy that stole the spool of cotton to the man who helped to make blacic Fridaj-. The State prisons of to-day, said the preacher, are not accomplishing the end they were created for, instead of being a reformatory they tended more to develop thieves and cited as an example that of 1500 persons in Sing-Sing 400 had been there be fore. The majority turned out of prison were worse than when they went in.. We want ' something, more than the shoe last to reform them ; something more than ser mons. The Secretary of one of our. prison associations, said to a lad 15 years of who had been three years of that 15 in prison. "What did. they do to make you better?" "Well" said the lad, "when I came up the first time before the judge he said, you ought to be ashamed of yourself." "The! second time I was brought before jhim for committing another crime, when he aid, "you rascal."

Why f Americans should look down npon Chinese is to us utterly incomprehensible, seeing that we have never learned to : celebrate our national birthday in any other way than imitating the brainless noises of the "Celestials." Every unnecessary noise is indicative of lack of culture, refinement, and large personal resources.

But the noises which are made by useless explosions of gunpowder are not the greatest of the evils ftnwmMv hundreds ot lives are .destroyed annually, and how many thousands ot dollars' worth of property are consumed, by this more than foolish practice !
