After the poli ticians who have made all flip . omefrom angry discussion on the evening of the first Monday in November, the next day the people with the silent ballots will settle everything, and Settle it riht a million of the white slips of paper they drop making about as much noise as the fall of an apple blos som. Clear back in the country to day there are mothers in j plain apron and shoes fashioned on a rouh lat by the shoemaker at the end of the lane, rocking babies that are to be the Martin Luthers, and thp FnM. days, and the Edisons, and the Bis- marcks, and the Gladstones, and the Washingtons, and the George White fields of the year 193S,!and who will make the Twentieth! century so bright that this much lauded 'Nine teenth in comparison I will seem a part of the dark ages. The longer 1 live the more. -'" . ' I LIKE COMMON FOLKS. They do ;the world's work, bearing vma uuiueus, ;weepirif the worlds sympathies, carrying the vuiiu scuusoiaiion. Among lawyers we see rise up a Rufus Choate, or a William Wirt, or a Samuel hSnntt,. and, but society would go to pieces to-morrow if there were not thou sands of common lawyers to see that men ana women get their rights. A Valentine Mott'or'a AVillard Parker rises up eminent in the medical pro fession, but what an unlimited sw.eep would pneumonia, and dinhthprin and scarlet fever, have in the world it it were not for ten thousand com mon doctors. The old 'physician in his gig rolling up the lane of the farm house, or riding on - horseback, his medicines in the saddlebags, arriv ing on the ninth day of the and coming in to take hold of the pulse ot the patient, While the family, pale with anxiety, are looki n j? on and waiting for his decision in regard to the patient, and hearing him say: "Thank God, I have mastered ,the case, he is getting , well," excites in me an admiration quite equal to the mention of the names1 of the great metropolitan doctors, Pancoast or Gross or Joseph G. Hutchinson of the past, or the illustrious liviner men of the present. ! let what do we see in all depart ments? People not satisfied with ordinary spheres of work and ordi nary duties. Instead of trvintr to see what they can do with a hand of five fingers they want six. In stead of usual endowment of twenty manual ana pedal addenda they want twenty-four. A certain amount of money for livelihood and for the supply of those whom we leave be hind us after we have departed this life is important, for we have the best authority for saying: "He that provideth not for his own, and espe cially those of his own household, is worse than an infidel ;".but the LARGE AND FABULOUS SUMS for which many struggle, if obtained would be a hindenwice rather than an advantage. The anxieties and annoyances; that those; have whose estates have become plethoric can only be told by those who possess them. Itwill be a good thing when through' your industry and public prosperities you can own the house in which you live. But suppose you own fifty houses and you leave all those rents to collect and all those tenants to please. Suppose you have branched out in business successes until in almost every direction you have investments. ' The fire bell rings at night; you rush up stairs to look out of the windows to see if it Is any of your mills. Epidemic of crime comes and there are embez zlements and abscondings in all di rections, and you wonder whether any of your bookkeepers will prove recreant. A panic strikes the finan cial world, and you are like a hen under a sky full of hawks and trying with anxious cluck to get your over grown chickens safely; under, wing. After a certain stage of success has been reached you have to trust so many important things to others that you are apt to become the prey of others, and you are swindled and defrauded, and the anxiety you had on your brow when you were earn ing your first thousand dollars is not equal to the anxiety on your brow now that you have won your three hundred thousand. I he trquble with such a one is he is spread out'like the unfortunate one in my text 1 ou have more fingers and toes than vou know what to" do with. (Twenty were useful, twenty-four is j a hindering superfluity. Disraeli says that a kinsr of Poland abdicated his throne and joined the people and became a porter to carry burdens!. And some one asked him why. lie did so. and he replied : "Upon my honor, gen tlemen, the load which 1 quit is by far hdavier than the one you see me carry. The weightiest is but a straw when compared to that world under which I labored. 1 have slept more in four nights than I have during all my reign. I BEGIN TO LIVE and to be a king myself. Elect whom you choose, for me who am so well it would be madness to return to court." I "Well.-" says somelody, "such overloaded persons ought to be pitied, for their worriments are real and their insomnia and their nervous prostration arc genuine.'' I reply- that they could get rid of the bother- xic fcurpius oy giving it awav. If a man has more houses than he can carry without vexation, let him drop lew of them. If his estate is so ffreat he cannot manage it without getting nervous dyspepsia from hav ing too muchi let him divide up with those who have nervous tlvspepsia because they cannot get enough. No ! they guard their sixth linger with more care than they did the original me. I hey g0 limping with what iney call front and know not that, ike the Jriant of my text, thev are lamed by a .superfluous toe A few of them by large charities bleed them selves of this; financial obesitv and monetary plethora, but manVof them hang on to the hindering superriuitv til death, and then as thev are com pelled to give the money up anvhow, nvtheir last will and testament thev generously give some of it to the Bord, expecting no doubt that He will leel very much obliged! to them, lhank God that once in a while we nave a Peter Cooper who, owning an Trenton, not feel interest in the iron works at said to Mr. Lester: "I do quite easy about the amount we are making. AVorking under one of our patents, we have; a monopoly which seems to me something wrong. Every body has to come to us for it and we are making money too fak." So they reduced the price, and tins while our philanthropist was building Cooper institute, which mothers a hundred institutes of kindness and mercy all over the; land. iBut the jworld had to.wait five thousand eight .hundred years for Peter Cooper. I 'am glad lor the benevolent! institu tions that get a legacy f rom men who during their life were ! AS STINGY AS DEATH '. f but who in their last will and testament bestowed monevl on hos pitals and missionary soeifVtiVs Knt for such testators I have no' respect. aney would have taken every cent of it with them if they could, and Jjought up 'half of heaven I and let it out at runious rent, or loaned the money to celestial citizens at 2 ner bent, a month :ahd got a corner on harps and trumpets. They (lived in this world fifty or sixty years in the presence of appalling suffering and want and made no effort for their relief. The charities of uch peo ple are for the most part in1 "paulo post future" tense and they !are go ing to do them. The probability is that if such a one in his last will by a donation to benevolent soeifih'ps tries to atone for his lifetime close- fistedness, the heirs at law iwill try to break the will by providing that the old man was senile of crazy, and the expense of the litigation will about leave in the lnwvprs' hands what was meant for the American Bible society. Oh, e over weighted successful business men, whether this sermon reach vour ear or your eye, let me say that! if you are prostrated with anxieties about keeping or investing these tremen dous fortunes, I can tell you how you can do more to -get your health hack and your spirits raised than by drinking gallons of bad tasting vvtiLci at ou.iu.iuga, xiomourg or Carlsband give to God and human ity and the BibledO per cent, of all a make restless you your income, and it will new man of you, and from walking of the; floor at meht shall, have eisrht hours' sleen with out the help of bromide of potas- stum, iiiiu irom no appetite you will hardly be able to wait your regular meals, and your wan cheek will fill up, and when you die the blessings of those who but for yout would have perished ;wiH bloom all over your grave with; violets, if it be spring, or gladiolus, if it be autumn. ! Perhaps some of you will take this advice, but the ; most of you will not. And you will try to CURE YOUR SWOLLEN HAND by getting on it more finges, and your rheumatic foot by getting on it more toes, and there will be a sigh of relief when you are gone out of the world ; and when over your re mains the minister recites the words, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord," person who have keen appreciation of the ludicrous will hardly be able to keep theiir faces straight. But whether in that di rection my words do good or not, I am anxious that all who may have only ordinary equipment be thank ful for wdiat they have andt ri?htlv employ it. I; think. you all have, figuratively as well as literally, fingers enough. ; Do not long for hindering superfluities. Stand ing in the presence of this fallen giant of my text and in this post mortem examination of him, let us learn how much better off; we are with just the usual hand, thY usual foot You have thanked God for a thousand things, but 1 warrant you never thanked him for thbse two implements of work an'd locomotion, that no one but the infinite and omnipotent God could have ever planned or made, the. hand 4nd foot Only that soldier or mechanic who, in a battle or through machinery, has lost them, knows anything about their value, and only the Christian scientist can have any ap preciation of what divine (master pieces they are. Sir Charles Bell, the English surgeon, on the battle field of Waterloo, while engaged in amputations of the wounded;, was so impressed with the wondrous con struction of the human hand that when the Earl of Bridgewatier gave $40,000 for ,essaya on the wisdom and goodness of God, and eight books were written, Sir Charles Bell wrote his entire book on the wisdom and goodness of God as displayed in the human hand. The twentv-seven bones in hand and wrist with cartil ages and ligaments; and phalanges of the fingers are all madejust reiith to knit, to sew, to build up, to pull down, to weave, to write, to plow, to pound, to wheel, to battle, to GIVE FRIENDLY SALUTATION. The tips of its fingers are so, man v telegraph offices by reason of their sensitiveness of touch. The bridges, the tunnels, the cities of the whole earth are the victories of the hand. The hands are not dumb, but often speak as distinctly as the lips. With our hands. we invite, we repel, we in voke, we entreat, we wring them in grief or clap them in joy, or spread them abroad in benediction. The malformation. of the giant's hand in the text glorifies the usual hand. Fashioned of God more exquisitely and wondrously than any human mechanism that was ever contrived, I charge you use it for God and the lifting of the world out of its moral predicament. Emplov it in the sub lime work of Gospel 'handshaking. You can see the hand is just made for that. Four. fingers just set right tojtouch:fyour 1 neighbors hand on one side and vour thumb set so as to clench it on the other side. By all its bones, and joints, arid muscles, dud cartilages,; and ligaments, the voice of nature joins with the voice of God commanding you to shake hands. The custom is as old as the Bible, anyhow, j Jehu said to Jehon adab : "Is thine heart right as my heart is with thine heart? If it be, give me thine hand." When hands join in Christian salutation a Gospel electricity thrills across the palm from heart to heart, and from the shoulder of one to the shoulder oi the other. Shake hands all around. With the timid and for their en couragementshake hands. With the troubled and in warm hearted sympathy, shake hands. With the young man just entering business and discouraged at the small sales and the large expenses, shake hands Writh the child whqjs new from God and started on unending journey for which he needs to gather great sup ply of -strength, and who can hardly reach up to you now, because you are so much taller, shake hands. Across cradles and DYING DEDS AND GRAVES, shake hands. With your enemies who have done all to defame and hurt you, but whom vou can afl'unl to forerive, shake hands. At the door of the churches where people come in, ana at tne aoor ot churches where people go out, shake hands. i,et tne pulpit shake hands with the pew, and Sabbath day shake hands with the week day, a-nd earth shake hands with heaven. Oh the strange, the mighty, the undefined, the mys terious, the eternal power of an hon est handshaking. The difference be tween these times and the millen nial times is that now sonie shake hands, but then all will shake hands, throne and footstool, across seas na tion with nation, God and man, church militant and church trium phant. '; Yea, the malformation of the fallen giant's foot glorifies the ordinary foot, for which I fear you have never once thanked God. The twenty-six bones of the feet are the admiration of the anatomist. The arch of the foot fashioned with a grace and a poise that Trajan's arch at Beneven tum, or Constantine's arch at Borne, or arch of Triumph at the end of Champs Elysees could not equal. Those arches stand where they were planted, but fthis arch of the foot is an adjustable arch, a yielding arch, a flying arch, and ready for move ments innumerable. The human foot so fashioned as to enable man to stand upright as no other creature, and leave the hand that would oth erwise have to help in balancing the body free for anything it chooses. The foot of the ca'mel fashioned for the sand, the foot of the bird fash- ioned for the tree branch, the foot of the hind lashioned for the slippery rock, the foot of the lion fashioned to rend its prey, the foot of the horse fasliioned for the solid earth, butthe loot oi man made to cross the desert, or climb the tree, or scale the cliff, or walk the earth, or go anywhere he needs to go With that divine triumph of anatomy in your possession, 1 WHERE DO YOU WALK? In what path of righteousness or what path of sin have you set it down? Where have you lett the mark of your footsteps? Amid the petrifactions in the rocks have been found the mark of the feet of birds and beasts of thousands of years ago. And God can trace out all the footsteps ol your lifetime, and those you made Yitty years ago are as plain as those made in the last soil weather, all of them petrified for the judgment day. Oh, the foot! How . divinely honored not only in its construction, but in the fact that God represents himself in the Bible as having feet: 'The clouds on the dust of his feet ; "Darkness was under his feet i4The earth is my footstool." And representing cyclones and euroclydons and whirl winds and hurricanes as winged creatures, he describes himself as putting his foot pri these monsters of the air and walking from pinion to pinipn, saying: "He walketh upon the wings of the wind." j "Thou hast put all things under his feet," cries the psalmist. Oh, thejfoot! (Jive me the autobiography of your foot trom the time vou stepped out of the cradle until to-day audi will tell your exact character now and what are .your, prospects for the world .to come.. That there miixht le no doubt alxmt the fact that loth these pieces of divine mechanism, hand and loot. iM?long to Christ's service. loth hands of Christ and both feet of Christ were spiketl on the cross. Bight through the arch of both liis feet to the hollow of his footstep went the; iron of tor ture, ami from the palm of his hand to the back of it, and there is not a muscle or nerve or bone among the twenty-seven hones of hand ami wrist, or among the twenty-six 1 nines of the. foot, but it belongs to him. NOW AND KORKVKK. Charles Keade, the great writer, lost the joint of his forefinger by feeding a, bear. Look out that your whole hand gets not into the maw of the old Cerberus of perdition. Sir Thomas Trowbridge, at the bat tit of Inkermann, lost his foot; and when the soldiers would carry him away, he said : "No. I do not move until the battle is' won." So if our foot be lamed or lost let it be; in the ser vice of our God, our home or our country. That is the most beautiful foot that goes about the paths of greatest use fulness, and that the most beautiful hand that does the most help to others. I was reading of three women who were in rivalry about the. appearance of the hand. And the one reddened her hand with berries, and said the beautiful tinge made hers the most beautiful. And another plucked flowers oil' the bank, and under the bloom j contended that her hand was the most attrac tive. Then a poor old woman ap peared, and looking up in her de decrepitude asked for alms. And a woman who had not taken part in the rivalry gave her alms. And'all the women resolved to leave to this beggar the question as to which ol all the hands present was' the most attractive, and she said : j'The most beautiful of them all is the one that gave relit f to my necessities," antl as she so said her wrinkh s antl rags and her -decrepitude ami her body disappeared, antl in the plat e tht re of stood the Christ 'who long ago saitl : "Inasmuch as ye did it to ont of the least of these ye did it to. me!" antl who, to'. purchase thp service ol our hand and foot here on earth or in resurrection state, had liis own hand antl foot lacerated.;.
